Chapter 402: Du VS Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos
While the fierce battle in the Bell Tower was reaching its climax, Du's battle with the "Shadow" commander, Si Jin, was nearing its end.
Even though he could control Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos at the same time, Deathly Haunted was still suppressed by Du. After fighting for three thousand moves, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"I'm going to lose if I continue like this." Si Jin gritted his teeth and decided to use his secret weapon.
"Molce Bird, Dark Flame! Zapdos, use Dark Lightning!"
Moltres opened its scarlet eyes wide and spewed a mouthful of pitch-black flame at Watari's three-headed Dragonite.
If Yang Ming was present, he would definitely recognize that this black flame was the same move as the dark Pokémon he encountered in the Paulownia forest.
This move that incorporates dark energy is stronger than normal skills, but it consumes the life energy of the Pokémon. When Moltres performs such a move, its power is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary dark Pokémon. Just a little spark can set the forest under them ablaze.
However, the Dragonite didn't even frown, but just used mysterious protection to cover his companions.
No matter how powerful Dark Flame is, it is still a fire-attribute move after all. For Dragon-attribute Pokémon like Dragonite that are naturally resistant to fire-attribute attacks, this attack cannot pose a threat no matter how powerful it is.
At the same time, a dark lightning bolt fell from its head. It was the dark lightning of the lightning bird! The power of this move was not only not weaker than the dark flame of the flame bird, but even slightly better!
Dragonite finally showed a serious look on its face, and it quickly folded its wings and used "Feather Roost" to recover its strength. The temporary loss of its flying attribute increased its resistance to electric attacks, and it easily resisted the killing move of the Lightning Bird.
Just when Dragonite blocked the two killing moves, the most deadly move had already arrived!
It was Articuno's Dark Freeze! Unlike the previous two moves, this one could restrain Dragonite four times, and it was Death Gold's special killer move to deal with Du!
The reason why this move was not used before was because Sijin didn't want Dudu to be on guard against this move, so he deliberately saved it for now, hoping to inflict a fatal blow to Dudu's Dragonite at the critical moment!
The pitch-black freezing beam instantly froze Dragonite into an ice sculpture, and it looked like it would not survive.
"Hahahaha! Your Highness, I defeated Du!" Si Jin laughed wildly with excitement. Being able to defeat one of the strongest people in the world made him enjoy a great pleasure.
However, after a moment he could no longer laugh.
With a series of "crackling" sounds, Dragonite broke out from the dark ice sculpture. At this time, it was not dead. Not only that, Dragonite's power was stronger, more powerful, and more domineering than before, and had reached an unprecedented height.
"Impossible, impossible!" Si Jin kept talking to himself, totally daring to accept this fact.
All of this is just Du's strategy.
No matter how strong he is, it is not easy to fight against Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres at the same time, especially since there is also Articuno who can restrain Dragonite. So Du developed a perfect countermeasure to eliminate these powerful enemies unexpectedly.
By using the characteristics of feathers and multiple scales, Dragonite can minimize the damage of ice-attribute attacks. No matter how powerful Articuno's dark freeze is, it can't seriously damage Dragonite under this tactical combination. And on this basis, Du's second trump card also began to play a role.
Weakness Insurance: When a Pokémon carrying this item is hit by a restraining attack, its physical and special attacks will surge to twice their original value.
Although the power of Dark Freeze is greatly reduced by the combination of Feather Roost and Multiple Scales, it is still a restrained attack and can perfectly trigger the effect of Weakness Insurance.
At this point, Dragonite's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Du also asked Dragonite to use mysterious protection to avoid being hindered by abnormal conditions such as freezing, burns, paralysis, etc.
"It seems you have no other means," Du said coldly, "Dragonite, kill them, use super speed!"
Suddenly, Dragonite's body disappeared from the battlefield. Then, with a mournful cry, Articuno fell from mid-air.
Not only Articuno, but even Zapdos and Moltres were hit in a very short time and fell to the ground.
This is the power of speed. When attacking at such a fast speed, the opponent can't even see Dragonite's movements.
Seeing that things were going badly, Si Jin wanted to retreat quietly, but his retreat was blocked by the other two Dragonites - Du had been secretly keeping a close eye on him, so how could he let him escape?
The three legendary Pokémon that fell to the ground were not dead. They struggled to get up. The black energy on their bodies had dissipated, and their eyes had regained clarity.
"I know you are the remnants of the Dark Dynasty, and I have naturally studied your methods of controlling Pokémon," Du said coldly, "So the attack just now only destroyed the controllers on your three Pokémon."
Hearing this, Sijin's heart sank. Release the control of the dark Pokémon? Is such a thing possible?!
In fact, this is nothing strange. As the strongest guardian of the alliance in Kanto and Johto, Du is not only the successor of the Dragon Shrine, but also the most valued student of the alliance chairman Damalan!
Dama Lanqi taught this favorite student almost all he had learned in his life. Not only that, he also gave him authority second only to his own. Naturally, he also read the information of those forces that had been enemies of the alliance throughout the ages.
This includes detailed information about the former world overlord - the Dark Dynasty!
As a giant force overthrown by the Alliance, Du is particularly concerned about the remnants of this dictatorial empire. After studying the principles of how these guys control Pokémon and humans, he also invented a way to crack it.
In order to control humans and Pokémon, the Dark Dynasty implants special devices in their brains, which completely close the victim's heart and turn them into zombies at the mercy of others. At the same time, these devices extract the victim's vitality to create a kind of "dark energy". The Pokémon enhanced by this dark energy will have stronger combat power, but their life will gradually weaken.
But even if the principle is known, it is still very difficult to rescue the victims, because the Dark Dynasty often installs bombs on the device, which can detonate the victims from a long distance, making all rescue efforts meaningless.
Fortunately, after years of research and special training, Du was finally able to destroy the device without harming the victim. Moreover, with his "super speed", even if the other party wanted to silence him, they could not catch up with his speed.
So far, he is the only one who can rescue three controlled legendary Pokémon at the same time.
