"Let's begin!" Articuno shouts, the that surrounded me quickly turned into Blizzard rushing towards me.
"Almighty Push!" Blasting away the Blizzard with Psychic, I used Nature Power on the snowstorm covering me, but it failed?
[Answer: Nature Power uses the uncontrolled power of nature, but this storm is currently in use. Think of it like Articuno's domain]
Forming a Sunny Day in hand, I threw it at the ceiling. A large amount of snow quickly moves towards my Sunny Day which I quickly neutralize with my now active Envy Form. With the sun active, I created an Odama Hidden Power Fire in hand and constantly merged smaller ones into it while compressing it, forming a tiny red ball in hand.
Of course, I'm spamming Aura Burst, a move I made on the spot, it's pretty much expending a large amount of Aura in an attack through my spoons, Mana Burst ripped off. Using Aura Burst through my spoons, I used 3 to block her attacks and sent the two others towards her, and finally created an Absolute Barrier around the pseudo sun.
I'll need to beat this Articuno as soon as possible before she has gotten used to fighting.
[Perfect Fusion Move: Ancient Frost = Ancient Power + Blizzard]
Now glowing Blizzard attacks have entered A level, forcing me to infuse Dark-type energy and Negative Energy into my Aura Burst, thereby making Aura Burst: Curse.
"Devil's Shot," Merging Aura Sphere into my Hidden Power for the 'never miss' effect, I fired it off and watches as it shoot through the snowstorm and moved toward Articuno.
[Perfect Fusion Move: Devil's Shot = Hidden Power Fire + Aura Sphere]
At this time, Articuno had blown away my two spoons that were harassing her with Gust, and with a flap of her wing, a crystallized barrier appeared in front of her.
[Perfect Fusion Move: Arctic Barrier = Ice-type energy + Reflect + Light Screen]
Before my attacks hit her defense my Envy Form activates significantly weakening the defense shocking Articuno. Devil's Shot bursts through Arctic Barrier and moves towards Articuno.
[Perfect Fusion Move: Arctic Breath = Ice-type energy + Ice Beam + Frost Breath]
Once more Envy Form activates weakening Articuno's attack causing my Devil Shot to win the collision of attacks and hit Articuno. As Articuno was blasted away from attack the Blizzard surrounding me finally go through my defenses, even with the aid of Envy Form neutralizing them.
"See ya next time" Saying that, I teleport away. Mission Escape, Success.
...
Arriving back in the Dewgong family's territory, I sighed in relief while floating in the water. That fight wasn't easy, but it at least proves to me I can fight a Guardian now, not that Crobat, but a special attacking Guardian. Physical Combatants aren't my best matchup, especially with this body, maybe when Aura advances to Expert.
So my Aura is almost empty, my energy is the same, so only my Psychic, Dark, and Negative Energy reserves are okay. Meaning, if I had to continue this fight for another minute I would've lost. Luckily, Ice Pokemons aren't the best matchup against Envyful Devil since they lack attack burst single attacks, mostly carrying AOE attacks.
If I were up against Zapdos using a Fusion move with Thunder I might have quickly lost the fight. Moltres may have been in a similar situation to Articuno though, and that's assuming they're low level. Looking at my frozen hand I could help but shake my head, that makes another crushing defeat, and what makes this worst is that she was under level.
"You're really stupid huh," Articuno said flapping her wings above me. "Did you forget I could Teleport to?"
"No, but isn't this good enough to prove that I have surrendered?" I said.
"How's trying to escape surrendering?" She mocks.
"Hey, don't be like that, I forfeit but I'm definitely not staying there to keep you company. You might as well follow me," I said.
Ha, it's like the world thinks I like being someone's servant? I much prefer having others admiring and fearing me.
"Yeah no, you're coming back," she said.
"Don't be like that, I can make you stronger," I said.
"Say that when you're stronger than me,"
"You're only stronger than me because you're a legendary, if I was one I would've done much better than you,"
"But you aren't one, or are you?"
[Host envy is rising]
"Huff, you're a Psychic and can't even sense the Pokemons around here," I mocked, having the ability Psychic gives you a crappy version of Clairvoyance.
Speaking of Clairvoyance, I used the last drops of my energy to form an Absolute Barrier. Blocking Arctic Breath from Articuno, and before I could leave the water I was in, it froze locking me in place.
"You're a part of the Dark side, aren't you?" She asked coldly, Negative Energy in the form of anger and fear oozes out of her.
However, her wording along with my Super Brain quickly got me all the assumptions I needed to say the safest words.
"Join the Lesser Dark side, we offer power, the opportunity for vengeance, company, and cookies,"
Assuming she's related to Shadow Articuno, assuming her parent got involved in it, and assuming she had seen those events. I believe my words were perfect? Using Lesser Dark side to show that I do have the same powers as them but aren't from the same group, followed by offering her to join us in turn for power or revenge this should be perfect base on Pokemon's personalities.
"You should've seen them right? Those who could use Dark power without being controlled by it, with you being better than them, it is easy for you to do the same," And now I removed as much suspicion of ulterior motives as I could, all that remains is her answer. By the way, I'm talking about my Alter Dewgongs.
"Am I supposed to be your servant?" She asked cautiously.
"... I guess, we can do temporary cooperation. We both want to destroy the Dark side, so we'll just help each other out,"
"Rivals huh," She mutters.
"Where the f..."
"Very well, we'll be rivals, although we'll help each other out against our enemy, every once in a while we'll spar,"
"That's fine," A safer way to test out my limits, and since we aren't Guardians yet, the rules still affect us.
And like that, stuck in ice, my adventures on Seafoam Islands for you all would end.
Maybe I won't die in this life.

A few more things left to do before this volume ends so good luck with the not dying part, kukukuku.
