Miraidon shouted, "Xiao Kai, hold on tight!"
As it spoke, its tail flame trailed a long band of light, like a bright tail, exceptionally striking in the dim sky.
Miraidon, like a bullet shot, frantically fled through the sky, trying to shake off the Roaring Moon pursuing it from behind.
Chen Kai couldn't help but exclaim,
"I don't know why, but it feels like I'm back in the past."
The Roaring Moon was not to be outdone; its massive body flexibly weaved through the sky, its crescent-shaped wings stirring up strong currents of air, flying surprisingly fast.
Xiao Mei, however, disagreed with Chen Kai's words:
"Dragon~" (We're not the same now!)
Saying that, it gathered a large amount of electricity and unleashed a brilliant Thunderbolt from its tail!
The lightning struck Roaring Moon, but Roaring Moon's speed didn't slow down at all; instead, it seemed to get angry:
"Roar!" (You're asking for death!)
Its speed actually increased by a large margin! It felt like it was about to catch up to Miraidon.
Xiao Mei, seeing that Thunderbolt was useless, prepared to try Electric Net instead.
Chen Kai patted its head:
"Electric-type moves are useless; use Dazzling Gleam."
Xiao Mei explained:
"Dragon~" (But the distance is a bit far.)
Chen Kai, however, said:
"It's fine, you'll know if you try, it's definitely effective."
So Xiao Mei tried it, emitting a pink Dazzling Gleam from its tail, while trying to focus the light into a single line.
Roaring Moon seemed to sense something was wrong and tried to dodge sideways, but its speed was too fast, and the light accurately struck Roaring Moon's left wing.
Unlike Thunderbolt, Dazzling Gleam only barely grazed Roaring Moon, but it made the giant Roaring Moon roar in pain, its voice echoing through the sky, shaking the surrounding air:
"Ah, roar!!!"
The struck area first flashed with a dazzling strong light, that light was blindingly bright, followed by the collision of Fairy-type energy with Roaring Moon's own energy, and then a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers.
Following that, wisps of black smoke slowly rose from the wound. This smoke initially resembled a delicate ribbon, gently swaying in the air.
Xiao Mei was a little surprised:
"Dragon?" (Is the damage that high?)
Chen Kai confidently said:
"Of course, it's Dragon-type and Dark-type, so it's the Pokémon most afraid of Fairy-type moves."
But Xiao Mei pointed behind them and said:
"Dragon?" (But it seems to be even faster?)
Roaring Moon roared:
"Roar!" (You all)
"Roar!!!" (Don't let me catch you!!!)
Saying that, it flew quickly while twisting its body.
Chen Kai saw the trick:
"Is this Dragon Dance?
Miraidon, can you use Agility?"
Miraidon replied grumpily:
"Can you guys stop messing around? Do you even hear yourselves?"
Xiao Mei asked:
"Dragon?" (What do we do now?)
Chen Kai decisively pointed to a larger patch of grass:
"Let's make an emergency landing first!
It's up to you, Iron Bundle!"
Iron Bundle: "?"
Miraidon glanced at the approaching Roaring Moon, plunged into the grass, and crashed heavily onto the ground, rolling to dissipate most of the force.
Chen Kai had already recalled Xiao Mei into its Poké Ball, jumped off Miraidon, and landed steadily using Iron Bundle's Hydro Pump as a counterforce.
Then he quickly threw out a Poké Ball:
"Xiao Mei, Electric Terrain, spread it out as wide as possible.
Big Boss, Dragon Voice Encouragement, help boost Iron Bundle.
Iron Bundle, do you want to play freely, or?"
Iron Bundle sighed:
"I'll do it myself."
Xiao Mei clapped its hands on the ground, fully unleashing Electric Terrain.
And Big Boss roared, buffing Iron Bundle and increasing its critical hit chance.
This was Chen Kai's Pokémon's only support ability now, and Chen Kai was ready to Tera Iron Bundle at any time.
After all, he thought, an Ice-type Iron Bundle fighting a Dragon-type Roaring Moon shouldn't be a big problem, right?
And Iron Bundle was not soft-hearted; a dazzling, eerie blue light shot out from its pouch, like a giant dragon awakening from the depths of extreme cold, rushing towards the real giant dragon before it with world-destroying momentum.
Wherever this Ice Beam passed, the dust in the air was instantly frozen, forming crystal-clear ice prisms, like the brilliant trails left by shooting stars streaking across the night sky.
The surrounding rocks and trees, enveloped by the beam, were instantly covered in a thick layer of frost, becoming fragile and crumbling into powder with a light touch.
Chen Kai and Xiao Mei and the other Pokémon quickly ran further away.
Looking at the power of the Ice Beam before him, Chen Kai confirmed that Iron Bundle's highest stat was definitely Special Attack!
It looked like this fight was in the bag.
Just as Chen Kai was thinking this, Roaring Moon suddenly opened its gaping maw, and a scorching Flamethrower shot out.
This flame seemed like a torrent of magma erupting from the depths of the earth, carrying the high temperature to melt everything and the momentum to overturn mountains and seas, colliding head-on with the incoming Ice Beam.
In this fierce collision of ice and fire, a large amount of water vapor was instantly generated, and these water vapors were like hot spring mist gushing from underground, making people feel very hot from a distance.
Initially, the water vapor was just a thin layer, rising gently at the intersection of ice and fire. But as the two forces continued to oppose each other, the water vapor grew more and more, becoming thicker and thicker, quickly completely enveloping the entire collision area.
Chen Kai quickly told Big Boss to use Protect; he didn't want to be steamed by this water vapor.
Soon, the two moves canceled each other out, leaving only a large patch of water vapor.
What Chen Kai truly didn't expect was that Iron Bundle, which had already activated Quark Drive, had its STAB move, Ice Beam, draw a tie with Roaring Moon's Flamethrower.
"Is this reasonable?"
And Miraidon, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly reminded:
"Don't think about it, let's slip away while there's fog?"
"Okay." Chen Kai got on Miraidon's back, simultaneously preparing to recall Iron Bundle and get ready to leave.
At this moment, Chen Kai and the others felt an immense pressure coming from above their heads!
Roaring Moon hated Fairy-type moves the most; it had been beaten by a Fairy-type Pokémon for hundreds of years, and it decided to ignore the fog and directly use Dragon Rush for indiscriminate attack!
This Dragon Rush was unstoppable, like the meteor that caused the extinction of dinosaurs back then.
Even though Iron Bundle used its full power Hydro Pump to try and block the opponent's move, a thick water column shot out from its pouch, the water column like an enraged flood dragon, roaring towards the sky with the force to overturn mountains and seas.
Facing a Dragon Rush with Dragon Dance stacked, it was like a dim shattered star meeting a brilliant bright moon, completely useless, breaking upon impact.
Chen Kai tried to recall Iron Bundle, but it was too late.
The enormous impact instantly swept everything away.
Hydrapple's Protect shattered directly, and Chen Kai, without even having time to use the green orb in his arms, was sent flying with Miraidon by the earth-shattering blow.
