“Roar?” If the original Ogerpon only made Bloodmoon Ursaluna feel a hint of a threat.
Then, the current Pon-Pon possessed power that made it feel wary.
‘What happened?’ A trace of confusion flashed across Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s fierce face.
“Don’t blame me for being underhanded, Bloodmoon Ursaluna.” Eric stood behind Ogerpon, with Victini perched on his shoulder and Lilligant by his side as a bodyguard: “You are a powerful Pokémon who has survived since the hisui era.
To defeat you, I can’t do it without being fully prepared.” “???” Bloodmoon Ursaluna looked at Ogerpon, whose aura was rising like a Super Saiyan, and then at the deadpan, nonsense-spouting Eric.
Bloodmoon Ursaluna: Do you want to listen to what you are saying?!
Is this even human language?
Fine, fine, fine.
Bloodmoon Ursaluna indicated that since you are not acting like a human, it doesn’t matter to it either.
“Boom.” Without any charging action, a bucket-thick red light erupted from the red full moon on Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s forehead.
The speed of this move was astonishing; it was hard to imagine how much effort this guy had spent on this move.
“Hit it back!” Eric chose to fight side-by-side with Ogerpon.
His command was simple and swift, coming even before Bloodmoon Ursaluna attacked.
“Pon-ny!” Ogerpon’s use of the Ivy Cudgel move was in no way inferior to Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s Blood Moon move.
Green light bloomed in her hands, and the Ivy Cudgel formed in an instant.
The next moment, the green Ivy Cudgel collided with the blood-red torrent.
However!
The explosion and the scene of being blown away by the torrent that one would imagine did not occur.
As Ogerpon swung with force, the ferocious Blood Moon torrent was actually swiped away by that small, emerald-green club.
“!” And just as Ogerpon made her move, Bloodmoon Ursaluna seemed to sense a great threat.
Its body shifted rapidly, the huge red torrent was blasted away, and rushing toward it was the terrifying power of Ogerpon’s strike.
Consequently, the earth shattered, trees snapped, and the ground itself seemed as if it had been plowed by a storm.
With Ogerpon and Bloodmoon Ursaluna as the connection, a small area in the forest was directly erased.
“Is this the destructive power of a level 80 Pokémon?” A golden energy barrier was erected by Lilligant, and Eric poked his head out from behind her, carefully looking at the destruction caused by the two Pokémon’s first clash.
“It’s simply terrifying!” Eric could be certain that Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s Pokémon level was definitely above level 80.
Not to mention Ogerpon.
With Victini’s power boosting her, the energy within her had reached a level close to level 90.
Otherwise, Ogerpon would not have been able to forcibly beat back Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s ultimate move, Blood Moon, with just a regular Ivy Cudgel.
Even though Bloodmoon Ursaluna attacked in a hurry and the Blood Moon’s power did not reach its maximum.
Ogerpon, however, had also only used a casual strike.
Looking purely at the paper stats, there was no doubt that Ogerpon had the advantage in combat power.
In a real battle, Ogerpon would not have the chance to use Swords Dance to boost herself.
Well, even if she could, Eric wouldn’t give that order.
There was no other way; among Pon-Pon’s moves, only Ivy Cudgel was usable.
The others were not only slow to cast but also had poor effects.
Rather than wasting time on tactics, it was better to let Pon-Pon play with brute force.
As for the means to boost herself “Lilligant, Energy Ball.” Lilligant did not master any moves that could directly give Ogerpon negative status effects.
Therefore, this was the only way to let Ogerpon quickly trigger her Defiant ability.
“Roar?” On the other side, Bloodmoon Ursaluna saw Lilligant make a move; its gaze narrowed, and its body prepared to dodge and respond.
It didn’t have many thoughts about Eric sending other Pokémon to gang up on it.
Having come from the hisui era, it never had the concept that Pokémon battles must be one-on-one.
It had played with “righteous gang-ups” with its own kind before.
Now it was just a reversal of offense and defense; it, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, would not back down because of this: “Bring it on, human!” So many years had passed that Bloodmoon Ursaluna had almost forgotten what it felt like to be besieged by strong enemies.
However, to Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s surprise, the Energy Ball thrown by Lilligant was not only small, but the target was not it either.
“Ping-ping-pang-pang!” Ogerpon didn’t even turn her head; she quickly swung the Ivy Cudgel, sweeping away five or six marble-sized Energy Balls as if they were pebbles.
“Roar?” Bloodmoon Ursaluna was stunned, not quite understanding what these guys were doing.
Weren’t they companions?
But why, why did Lilligant want to attack Ogerpon?
“Pon-ny-ow!” However, it didn’t keep Bloodmoon Ursaluna confused for too long.
Because the aura erupting from Ogerpon had already made this behemoth feel the threat of death.
‘What is going on?’ Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s pupils shrank, and it looked in disbelief at Ogerpon, who had inexplicably become stronger once again.
It couldn’t understand.
It couldn’t make sense of the current situation at all.
The little one in front of it was clearly so small and thin, yet the aura on her body was climbing steadily at an incredible speed, like a volcanic eruption.
Is this reasonable?
Is this still the Pokémon battle it knows?
Why?
You just swat away a few Energy Balls, and it’s like you’ve taken hormones, getting stronger exponentially.
“That’s enough, Pon-Pon.” Eric shouted: “Ivy Cudgel!” “Pon-ny-ow.” Ogerpon didn’t need Eric’s specific instructions; she was all too familiar with how to hit people with the Ivy Cudgel.
“Bang!” Her petite body erupted with earth-shattering power, the ground beneath her feet shattered with a roar, and Bloodmoon Ursaluna could only see a green streak of light, with an aura even more violent than the Blood Moon, delivering a Tackle fiercely into its body.
‘Danger!’ Almost instinctively, Bloodmoon Ursaluna crossed its arms, wanting to use them to block this strike from Ogerpon.
Unfortunately, Bloodmoon Ursaluna had clearly underestimated Ogerpon’s power.
That Machamp-like power, which seemed as if it would overturn the entire forest, forcibly swiped aside Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s arms, and the intense pain transmitted from them made it, even as a Totem-level Pokémon, still have the urge to wail.
‘One club to the arm!’ ‘One club to the head!’ As Ogerpon swung from bottom to top, swiping aside Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s arms, the opponent was left wide open, with no protection for its vital points.
‘This is it!’ The little demon holding the Ivy Cudgel used all her strength to smash fiercely toward Bloodmoon Ursaluna’s forehead.
She didn’t worry at all that this strike would kill Bloodmoon Ursaluna.
Pokémon have a self-protection mechanism.
Being knocked down for the first time would, at most, result in losing the ability to battle.
As long as one doesn’t continue to attack after the Pokémon faints, it won’t cause fatal damage.
So…
‘Go down!’ Ogerpon gritted her teeth, as if she could see the dawn of victory: ‘Big guy!’
