Amid the chaos caused by Team Galaxy, the battlefield that was once filled with cheers transformed into an intense battleground. The Champions and Elite Four fought fiercely, defending the stadium from the threat of the mysterious group. High-level Pokémon unleashed by Team Galaxy continuously bombarded the stadium with deadly attacks. The spectators still in the stands held their breath, mesmerized and terrified by the intensity of the battle rarely seen in the real world.
Liangyi, Champion of the North Region, led Excadrill and Garchomp in an intense battle. Meanwhile, Zhao Feng, along with Tyranitar and Salamence, is fighting off the brutal attacks from the enemy Pokémon.
Every move they made was designed with precision; there was no room for error. The sand from the Sandstorm created by Tyranitar mixed with the explosion of Dragon Claw from Garchomp, creating a tense atmosphere in the arena filled with dust and flashes of Pokémon attacks.
However, the pressure doesn't stop there. Team Galaxy increasingly showcased their cunning strategies, using a combination of attacks from Pokémon like Hydreigon, Drapion, and Crobat to corner the Champions and Elite Four. Nevertheless, they continued to fight with spirit, striving to maintain balance amidst the chaos.
During the increasingly intense battle, one of the black-cloaked members of Team Galaxy, seemingly their leader, stepped forward with a calm yet threatening demeanor. With slow yet firm movements, he produced an object that silenced the entire arena—Master Ball.
This item, known as one of the rare artifacts in the Pokémon world, symbolizes power and the ability to capture Pokémon without failure. Silence fell instantly, replacing the roar of battle.
Yang Chen, who was watching from a distance on his farm, was immediately captivated when he saw the Master Ball on the screen. He knew how valuable the Master Ball was, and if it was used by Team Galaxy, a great threat would surely emerge.
When the Master Ball was thrown into the air, all eyes were on it.
The distinctive silvery-purple light radiated when the ball opened, and from within emerged Articuno, the majestic Ice and Flying-type Pokémon.
Its wings spread gracefully, emanating a cold aura that immediately caused the temperature in the stadium to drop drastically. A strong icy wind swept across the arena, causing some spectators in the front rows to shiver.
Yang Chen observed seriously. With his super hearing ability, he tried to understand more deeply about this Pokémon. He focused his hearing on the sound of Articuno's movements. In an instant, he realized something shocking.
"This is not the legendary Articuno known as one of the Legendary Birds under Lugia," he murmured to himself.
"This is a descendant of Articuno—perhaps the result of a secret breeding program by Team Galaxy or Team Galaxy captured it somewhere. But its power cannot be underestimated. Level 110... That's beyond the reach of most trainers."
The Articuno that appeared before them had an extraordinary presence. Although it is not the original version, its power remains extraordinary. His sharp blue eyes shimmered, indicating perfect focus and control. Each flap of its wings creates a small snowstorm, strong enough to make ordinary Pokémon stagger.
Articuno did not wait long to act. The Galaxy Team leader gave a firm command, and Articuno immediately launched a Blizzard attack. An extraordinary wave of ice swept across the arena, instantly freezing several areas of the stadium and nearly hitting some of the Elite Four's Pokémon. Zhao Feng quickly reacted, commanding Salamence to use a Flamethrower in retaliation, creating a clash between ice and fire that produced thick steam in the air.
Liangyi, who was on the other side of the arena, took advantage of Garchomp's speed to attack Articuno. With a quick command, Garchomp launched Dragon Rush toward Articuno. However, with its incredible agility, Articuno dodged in mid-air, countering with an Ice Beam that nearly hit Garchomp. The sound of cracking ice echoed everywhere, creating increasing tension in the stadium.
Zhao Feng and Liangyi quickly coordinated, realizing that Articuno was a threat that could not be faced individually. They decided to combine their team's strengths. Tyranitar started with a Rock Slide attack, which is strategically effective against Ice/Flying types. Large rocks hurtled toward Articuno, forcing the Pokémon to evade into the air.
At the same time, Liangyi's Excadrill charged at high speed using Iron Head, targeting the Articuno that was trying to keep its distance. The attack nearly hit, but Articuno managed to deflect it with Hurricane, creating a whirlwind that sent Excadrill flying backward. However, this gave Garchomp enough time to close in and unleash Outrage, an attack that eventually hit Articuno's wing and forced it down to the ground.
Yang Chen continues to monitor seriously. Although he was not in the stadium, he felt connected to every second of the battle.
n his heart, he knew that if Articuno was not defeated soon, Team Galaxy would gain full control over the situation. His super hearing caught the conversations of the spectators and also the cunning strategy planned by the leader of Team Galaxy.
"If they have an Articuno like this," he thought, "what else are they hiding?"
The battle against Articuno is a test of strength and strategy for the Champions and Elite Four. However, a greater threat may still be lurking behind the scenes. The Galaxy Team has clearly planned this meticulously, and this battle is just the beginning of something much bigger.
