Chapter 443 A Song of Ice and Fire
The Gym Leader of Flying Cloud City, Yade, rushed to Snowflake Wetlands using Butterfree's still-developing Teleport.
Logically speaking, his Butterfly is not his main force, and he is far from being able to freely control such superpowered moves, let alone use them frequently for long-distance travel—this is tantamount to asking a novice who has just become familiar with the paintbrush to start painting large-scale oil paintings in an academic style.
However, Cattleya, who happened to appear in Feiyun City, promptly offered him a helping hand.
As to why this superpowered king had appeared in the city he was stationed in, Yati had no clue, but one thing was crystal clear: with a superpowered superpowered king in charge, he no longer needed to worry about the safety of Feiyun City.
It was precisely because of this that he felt more clearly that Hugo's transfer of him to Snowflake City at this critical juncture of unrest in the Unova region was not a hasty move to patch up one problem by robbing Peter to pay Paul, but rather a far more profound and comprehensive consideration.
As for now, the dizziness caused by the superpower movement has not completely subsided, and the Ayato Hall Master's gaze has quickly focused on the center of the battlefield.
Before him, his old friend Hatchling was leading a group of Ice-type Pokémon in a fierce confrontation with two sages from Team Plasma.
Road No. 8, which originally ran through the wetlands, has now been transformed into a desolate winter landscape, with icicles everywhere and a biting chill in the air.
Hatchuk's condition is clearly not optimistic.
"Let's stabilize the situation here first."
Seeing this, Yati muttered to himself, recalling the last instructions Hugo had sent on his phone screen.
So he decisively released his proud painting partner, the babysitter bug.
The emerald figure raised its forelimbs as if a poet were wielding a brush, and a "mysterious guardian" with a faint golden halo descended quietly, covering Hachiku's body like a thin veil.
At the same time, his Butterfly and Powder Moth flew out to both sides, their scales and powder, like a silent snowfall, drifting towards the Plasma Team members who were busy operating and modifying the Dream Device.
That's a hypnotic powder.
Since these guys are so obsessed with manipulating other people's dreams, let them experience for themselves what true sleep is like.
With the help of reinforcements and bathed in the faint light of the "mysterious guardian," Hachiku's originally pale face finally showed a glimmer of life.
Sure enough, this man once again took matters into his own hands and shouldered the pain of the "curse" alone—just like the tough guys he always played in movies, no matter how absurd and illogical the fate in the plot was, he had to uphold his principles even if he was covered in wounds and persevere until the very last scene.
As his strength gradually returned, the Ice-type Gym Leader cast a brief glance in the direction of Arty.
There was neither polite gratitude nor pleading in their eyes, only the unspoken understanding between the dojo leaders.
The next second, the latter immediately understood and recalled the babysitter, turned around and headed towards the snowflake wetlands.
As Hatchku broke free of the "curse," the tundra bear under his demonic influence launched the first attack—it carried a torrent of "water jets" and charged straight at the Vulcan Moth like a torpedo driven by ice.
However, the Coffin of Death had already been waiting for its chance, and the "Switch of Locations" quietly took effect—it replaced the Volcano Moth at the end of the water's path.
The moment the two collided, the "Mummy" ability, like a damp, contagious disease, quickly overwhelmed the Tundra Bear's "Snowplow" ability, which had increased its speed due to the snow.
At that very moment, Hachiku's Strike Demon and Marco Polo simultaneously approached from the left and right, their two fierce "Striking Down" attacks aimed directly at Death Coffin's vital points.
But the legendary Pokémon's support had already arrived, and Landorus descended from mid-air with a powerful "Earth Power" attack, forcibly cutting off the offensive.
The plasma cluster's offensive had no end in sight—before the flying snow and dust had even subsided, another Volcarona's "Flamethrower" would pierce the air once more.
However, this move failed to hit the target, the tundra bear. Instead, it was exploited by the mini ice that suddenly emerged from the snowdrift and deflected the attack with the "Aurora Curtain" move.
The weakened flames scattered in all directions, one of them sweeping across the body of the ice-attribute Daruma baboon, which was exactly what Hachiku had calculated.
He had always avoided letting this Pokémon get close to Cofagrigus to prevent it from being affected by the "Mummy" ability, all for this moment.
The moment the flames touched it, the Galardamo baboon's eyes widened in shock.
The next moment, like a powder keg being ignited, a pillar of fire shot out from the center of the snowball that the baboon had placed on its head.
Its body, which was originally on all fours, suddenly transformed and reshaped, and a big white smile appeared on its belly, turning it into a bouncy roly-poly toy—this is the Pokémon's unique transformation ability, "Daruma Mode".
The once-degraded fire sac is reborn amidst a furious smile, with scorching flames erupting uncontrollably from its body, as if to scorch everything in its path. Even as its body teeters on the brink of melting, it will continue to spew flames until its rage subsides.
"Flash Charge!" Hatchku threw a punch, sounding the horn for a counterattack.
The unrestrained fire-type killing move shot out like a meteor, heading straight for the land cloud, whose movements were slowed by the two consecutive "one-hit-down" attacks.
"Arm Hammer!"
Seeing the incoming fire attack, Yoggs decided to take the hit—but that was not a wise decision!
"Now is the time we've been waiting for!"
The Ice-type Gym Leader's fist suddenly transformed into a claw, and the Daruma baboon in the air, which had turned into flames, also twisted its body at the same time.
"Frozen teeth!"
Ice and fire alternated in an instant—a feat only this dual-attribute ice and fire spirit could accomplish!
Click!
The baboon, with its gaping maw wide open from the Yeti's abdomen, suddenly bit the arm that the legendary elf had swung out!
"Damn it, he's been deliberately playing the victim!"
It was only at this moment that Asura suddenly realized—they had all been fooled by that superb acting.
The battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse, like a collapsing compass! The blue-robed sage hurriedly urged his Death Coffin to react, but he only saw a long-planned black shadow suddenly appear before him, crossing the snow-covered and fire-filled battlefield.
It is another coffin of death.
It hovered silently, a crimson and eerie smile cracking open from the coffin. This ominous object stared at Asura, as if it had a pre-existing understanding with Hachiku in the distance—"Hehehehehe—"
Amidst laughter, it unhesitatingly pierced a phantom nail into its own golden coffin.
Another "curse"!
Immediately following, due to the sage reaction of the non-equivalent ion cluster, the "coffin of death" rapidly shook and shrank, turning into a pool of purple mud that silently seeped into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
It was Ditto—the "Hatcher" originally intended to be a shield disguised as Hatchling Mask! And it was always in the Plasma Group's blind spot.
When Asura's Coffin of Death first cast its "curse," Hachiku did not let Ditto take the hit. Instead, he raised his hand to block it, using his own body to absorb the spell's lock.
And now, the physical strength that was forcibly saved through human will—the remaining power that had not been corrupted by the curse—finally revealed its full value.
Ultimately, this ice-type gym leader never intended to delay.
Since the start of the war, he has only had one thing on his mind: to defeat his opponents one by one.
