Chapter 375: Ocean Battle!! Mewtwo!
Darkrai's Shadow Tag ability was absolute—it could anchor the target's shadow to the ground, preventing any escape, including Teleportation. But Darkrai lacked the sheer power to nullify the shockwaves of a high-tier collision. If the destructive energy of the two behemoths pushed against its barrier too hard, the field of darkness would be shredded.
"Guardian Deity!!"
"Lord Guardian Deity!!!"
On the island, the members of the Namgung Clan gazed up in religious awe at the Giant Dragonite.
Meanwhile, Namgung Zhang, the clan elder, cast his eyes toward the surface of the ocean where Kenji stood atop Gyarados, flanked by Darkrai.
Is that Kenji? The Champion of the Huaxia League Conference? And a close friend of Xi's? Truly remarkable, he muttered to himself.
"Damn it! This disgusting thing is too strong, my barrier won't hold much longer!"
Below, Darkrai grunted, its shadowy form straining. If Mega Beedrill hadn't interrupted Mewtwo earlier to prevent it from focusing on dismantling the barrier, Darkrai's field would have been torn apart by now.
Kenji frowned, eyes fixed on the battle unfolding in the sky—a clash beyond the limits of mortal observation.
[Giant Dragonite] (Guardian Deity)
Gender: Male
Level: 100
Potential: Limit
Since Mewtwo appeared above Dragon Island, the Master-rank Giant Dragonite hadn't stayed passive. As soon as the battle erupted, it had lunged into the fray.
If it were fighting alone, the Giant Dragonite would have stood no chance against Mewtwo. But with Mega Beedrill providing surgical strikes and distractions, the two had managed to force a stalemate. However, securing a decisive victory in such a short window was nearly impossible.
Kenji's mind raced, searching for an opening. His eyes drifted to the Team Rocket Executive floating in mid-air, currently encased in a bubble of Mewtwo's psychic energy.
The only reason that Executive was still alive was that Mewtwo was burning precious cognitive bandwidth to shield him from the stray shockwaves of the battle.
Although Mewtwo now possessed its own consciousness, it was still shackled by the control harness, compelled to obey Team Rocket's commands.
"Beedrill!!! Strike at the Team Rocket Executive!!!"
Kenji barked the command telepathically.
Mega Beedrill didn't hesitate. It pivoted in mid-air, abandoning its harassment of Mewtwo and diving straight toward the floating Executive.
Mewtwo's reflexes were instantaneous. It perceived the threat to the Executive with clinical precision. Bound by its armor, it went rigid, and in one fluid motion, it used its telekinesis to warp the Executive out of the trajectory, teleporting the man to safety even as Beedrill's stinger pierced the space he had just occupied.
But that distraction cost Mewtwo its focus. Giant Dragonite seized the opening, lashing out with a massive Dragon Claw.
Because Mewtwo had broken its rhythm, it could only react with a desperate, rushed block. The sheer force of the blow sent it spiraling through the air.
This was the first time Mewtwo had been put on the back foot.
Kenji watched, his heart hammering. He ordered Mega Beedrill to relentlessly pursue the Executive.
Mewtwo was now in a bind. Its eyes flared with murderous intent; it wanted nothing more than to crush the insect, but it was being forced to waste its psychic power playing bodyguard to a useless grunt.
The balance of the fight, once tipped in Mewtwo's favor, began to slip. It was being forced into a defensive crawl, unable to retaliate effectively while protecting its "load."
The Team Rocket Executive's face turned corpse-white. Even the dullest mind could see the danger. He started screaming at Mewtwo, babbling orders to protect him at all costs.
Mega Beedrill was relentless. It jabbed at Mewtwo, then peeled away to harass the Executive, effectively turning the battle into a 2-on-1 where Mewtwo was handicapped by its own "ally."
"The High Command order has been issued!! Evacuate!! NOW!!!"
"Override! Access Level: Supreme!!!"
"Repeating! The order is absolute!! Evacuate immediately!! Get out of here!!"
"Mewtwo, forget the casualty! Forget the grunt! Do whatever it takes to escape!! Fall back!"
A series of harsh, mechanical commands blared inside Mewtwo's mind, followed by the frantic, low-pitched growl of a Team Rocket Commander.
BANG!!!! —
Mewtwo's eyes turned a violent, incandescent red. With a sharp sound, the Executive—who had been screaming and causing the distraction—suddenly exploded. Mewtwo had telekinetically crushed the man to death to remove the burden.
Finally free, Mewtwo moved. It raised a hand, conjuring a barrier of psychic energy to catch Giant Dragonite's claw, and then unleashed a Thunder Punch with its free hand.
THUD!!!! —
Dragonite was sent reeling backward.
With the human baggage dead, Mewtwo turned its full, unchained focus back to the battlefield. The battle had just entered its deadliest phase.
