HxH : Pokemon Master-Chapter 390: Ho-Oh’s Defeat!

In an instant, the arrogant Ho-Oh was struck by a super-sized Precipice Blade.

Deafening explosions echoed continuously.

Akira calmly watched this scene as brilliant flashes of light appeared across the battlefield.

Then, a strange mushroom cloud slowly rose, accompanied by countless fragments and dust.

Under absolute power suppression, no matter how much Ho-Oh struggled, it was all in vain.

Primal Groudon still wasn’t satisfied, its energy flowing endlessly as if it would never run out. With just a casual stomp, several more super-sized Precipice Blades suddenly appeared.

The battlefield instantly turned into an ocean of magma and explosions, with Groudon’s Precipice Blades everywhere.

It forcibly created a mountainous forest fused from rock and magma.

Groudon snorted coldly and continued bombarding with overwhelming Precipice Blades.

One, two... More and more Precipice Blades appeared, countless fragments falling into the extreme magma and vanishing into nothingness.

Under the continuous attacks, Ho-Oh’s glow gradually dimmed.

"Screech—"

A mournful cry erupted as Intense rainbow light burst from Ho-Oh’s body, rainbow feathers falling mixed with blood.

Since it couldn’t move due to spatial restraint, it could only fight with its back to the wall!

With such a massive battle, holding on might allow other legendary Pokémon to notice.

Then it could be saved.

However, the next moment, Origin Palkia gently gestured.

The space around it rapidly collapsed.

A terrifying tearing attack seemed intent on shredding Ho-Oh along with the space itself!

Dragon-type exclusive skill—Spacial Rend.

Ho-Oh was greatly alarmed. It poured out its energy rapidly, but it was useless. In the end, powerless to resist, it was completely restrained by Origin Palkia, unable to move.

Ho-Oh is, after all, a First-Class God; it would be too wasteful to simply kill it.

Akira had a way to turn Ho-Oh into his subordinate.

"Ding."

"Pokémon incubation completed."

Akira was taken aback. He then shifted his focus from the battlefield to his mind.

Suddenly, a brand-new orange figure appeared in his thoughts.

It was none other than the Charizard he had battled not long ago.

Charizard is a bipedal Pokémon with characteristics of a Western dragon. Its skin is primarily orange. Charizard has large wings on its back that allow it to fly.

It possesses a long neck, small blue eyes, two horn-like protrusions on the back of its head, and a long, thick tail with a flame burning at the tip.

Charizard flaps its wings to soar high in the sky, flying around in search of powerful opponents. It can use its wings to reach altitudes of up to 1,400 meters above the ground.

It can exhale scorching flames capable of melting everything, tormenting its enemies.

When it breathes out blazing fire from its mouth, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns even more fiercely.

It is said that the more arduous battles a Charizard has experienced, the more intense its accumulated combat experience makes its flames, raising their temperature even higher.

Name: Charizard (Special Edition)

Ability: Blaze

Type: Fire, Flying

Strength: SS

Moves: Flare Blitz, Fire Spin, Air Slash, Flamethrower...

[The More Fights, The Braver]: Charizard increases its strength by one level each time it defeats an enemy. This effect can only trigger once per enemy, and the strength increase depends on the enemy’s power.

[Protagonist Aura]: Charizard cannot die; when on the verge of collapsing, it always manages to stand up again.

[Dual Mega Evolution]: Charizard possesses two Mega Evolution forms and can freely switch between them.

A Charizard who’s also a special edition. Its traits are somewhat similar, such as [The More Fights, The Braver] and [Dual Mega Evolution].

Charizard increases its strength by one level each time it defeats an enemy.

This effect can only trigger once per enemy, and the strength increase depends on the enemy’s power.

Charizard possesses two Mega Evolution forms and can freely switch between them.

In addition, it shares the same Protagonist Aura as Pikachu.

However, the effect differs. Charizard’s Protagonist Aura prevents it from dying; when on the verge of collapsing, it always manages to stand up again.

It sounds a lot like the anime protagonist shouting "Stand up!" or "Don’t fall!"... Every time they yell like that, the Pokémon becomes harder to knock out, performing sit-ups like an indestructible cockroach.

Akira then turned his gaze to the restrained Ho-Oh.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

A First-Class God, easily captured alive by him just like that. This was also the first First-Class God he had ever battled.

Ho-Oh is quite a prestigious legendary beast.

But facing... facing a full five First-Class Gods, including even Primal Kyogre and Origin Palkia among them, naturally, there was no way to put up a fight.

With a single thought, Origin Palkia instantly created an independent space. Akira looked at the silent Ho-Oh and spoke:

"Ho-Oh. I can grant you freedom."

Upon hearing this, Ho-Oh showed a slight change in expression, then sighed inwardly.

Would Akira really let it go so easily? The answer was obvious.

To be honest, even now it was still in a state of confusion. What exactly was going on? Why were Groudon and Kyogre in their Primal Reversion states, serving this human? Not even a hint of reluctance or control could be seen.

They were just like ordinary Pokémon under a trainer’s command.

What about Rayquaza? Shouldn’t it be keeping Kyogre and Groudon in check? And there was also Complete Zygarde, Solgaleo from the Ultra dimension.

Even Palkia had appeared, and in its Origin form at that.

What about Arceus?! Why wasn’t it stepping in to manage this?!

For the first time, Ho-Oh felt the emotion of collapse.

With such a lineup, few in the entire world could defeat them in single combat.

Why was it so unlucky to run into such a jinx?

Suddenly, Ho-Oh seemed to sense a certain presence and looked in shock at Akira’s shadow.

A pair of orange-red eyes were watching it.

That presence was all too familiar.

Marshadow!

That was its most powerful subordinate, even stronger than Suicune and the other Legendary Beasts.

It also served as the executor of its [Rainbow Trial]. Usually, when Ho-Oh took a liking to a human, it would give them a Rainbow Feather.

That person would then be called the [Rainbow Hero].

At that time, Marshadow would stay in that person’s shadow, observing every detail.

But... why was its most trusted general in this person’s shadow? It could guarantee that it had never given Akira a Rainbow Feather.

Nor had it sent Marshadow over.

Then... whose Marshadow was this?!

Ho-Oh couldn’t help but ask: "Just who are you?! Why do so many Legendary Pokémon follow your commands? And why is Marshadow in your shadow?"

Ho-Oh had many questions, because it truly had too many doubts.

Its perspective on Pokémon was being challenged.

Anyone who claimed they could casually produce a top-tier Legendary Pokémon would be hard to believe.

Akira said calmly: "Is this really so surprising? It’s simple—I created them."

He created them?! Ho-Oh instinctively refuted.

"That’s impossible! Are you saying you’re Arceus?!"

Akira shook his head. "I am not Arceus, but..." Akira spread his hands open, his tone inexplicable.

"...there’s nothing stopping me from creating Arceus either."

Creating Arceus? Ho-Oh was completely dumbfounded by Akira’s response.

What kind of person could possibly say such things?

If it were anyone else, it would never believe this in a million years.

But if it was Akira... it actually felt there might be some possibility.
