Chapter 844: Power of Racing Thunder
Half a year flashed by.
The commotion Kazuya and Mewtwo caused in this Alola region was truly not small.
They slaughtered two Demon Gods.
The Electric-type guardian deity of Melemele Island, Tapu Koko.
The Psychic-type guardian deity of Akala Island, Tapu Lele.
Kazuya used Dark Void to devour these two Demon Gods, gaining two abilities that were better than nothing.
Power of Electricity.
Power of Mind.
The former allowed Kazuya to summon thunderclouds, generate lightning, and enhance the production speed of Electric-type energy within his body.
The latter allowed Kazuya's mental trauma and stress to recover quickly, and the production speed of Kazuya's Psychic-type energy also increased.
Not of much great use.
But it was indeed slightly better than nothing.
Especially this Power of Mind; it was actually somewhat useful.
It allowed Kazuya to use more Psychic-type moves in battle, enhancing the stamina of his psychic powers.
But that was all.
Considered better than nothing.
And now.
On their way to Aether Paradise, they encountered a third Demon God.
"Who is this guy? Looks a bit familiar, do you know Him?"
Kazuya looked at the bipedal cat appearing not far ahead, glancing at Mewtwo beside him in confusion.
He felt he could find a Pokémon similar to this guy in his memories.
But he wasn't too sure.
It was probably a new Pokémon or a new form of some Pokémon that appeared after he transmigrated.
However.
Judging from the similar aura emanating from the other party.
This Pokémon they were seeing for the first time seemed to also be a "Legendary Pokémon."
"The 'God of Racing Thunder', Zeraora... Strange, I remember in Team Rocket's Great Darkness Chronicles, Zeraora never received a Mega Evolution injection. How did this guy evolve?"
Mewtwo introduced calmly, then pinched His chin in confusion and began to think.
"Eh?! It's actually Mega Zeraora?! This is my first time seeing it. No wonder it looked a bit familiar."
Kazuya raised his eyelids in surprise.
He looked at the big cat before him a few more times with great interest.
Not bad.
Aside from the lack of growth in height being a fatal flaw.
In terms of appearance, there was truly nothing to complain about.
Moreover.
Mega Zeraora matched even better with Mega Lucario.
No wonder there was so much cat-and-dog fanfiction in his previous life.
These two Pokémon together really did give off that kind of vibe.
Whether it was Kazuya.
Or Mewtwo.
Neither put this Zeraora in their eyes at this moment.
After all, they could be considered quite familiar with this Pokémon.
Zeraora is a pure Electric-type Mythical Pokémon native to the Alola region.
As everyone knows.
Mythical Pokémon.
For the most part, their levels aren't high, and their combat power isn't strong.
Occasionally, there are a few exceptional individuals.
They become particularly difficult to deal with by relying on special, exclusive abilities.
But that still can't change some of their inherent fatal flaws.
Zeraora was no exception.
The trickiest ability of this Pokémon lies in its lightning-like speed.
And its dual offenses aren't low.
It can be considered a very pure combat-oriented Mythical Pokémon.
Able to establish a foothold in the circle of "gods" relying on its powerful physique.
But.
For everything gained, something must be lost.
Zeraora's physique is powerful, and its speed is blindingly fast.
Which also meant It didn't possess any bug-level abilities.
For example.
Manaphy can summon the Pokémon of the entire ocean to fight for It.
Celebi can travel through various times and possesses powerful healing abilities.
Jirachi can utilize the power of falling stars to grant unbelievable wishes.
Hoopa can use Its rings to summon other gods or achieve spatial travel.
These.
Zeraora could not possibly possess.
Then Its threat level in the eyes of Kazuya and Mewtwo naturally dropped significantly.
What they feared least were combat-oriented Mythical Demon Gods.
Although it was Kazuya's first time seeing Mega Zeraora.
He wasn't entirely sure what level this Pokémon's combat talent had reached after Mega Evolution, or if there were any changes to Its body.
However.
At least one thing was certain.
This Zeraora's level wasn't high.
Maybe Its level had reached Lv. 86.
At most Lv. 88.
For this level to pose a fatal threat to Kazuya and Mewtwo.
Was truly too difficult.
Even if this Zeraora had fused with the Zap Plate, causing Its signature move "Plasma Fists" to evolve and undergo a qualitative change.
That still wouldn't present any possibility.
After all.
Kazuya had the Zap Plate on him.
Electric-type moves couldn't deal any damage to him at all.
Moreover.
The Zap Plate was one of the world-saving Plates used to create the Jewel of Life.
Such an important Plate.
Would Shadow leave it on Zeraora?
Couldn't say it was completely impossible.
But this probability was absolutely not high, perhaps not even 30%.
After all, there were still the two box-art dragons, Zekrom and Miraidon, as choices; Zeraora's priority wasn't high.
"Mewtwo, this guy's level should be about the same as yours, maybe even lower. You go meet Him."
Kazuya reached out and patted Mewtwo beside him.
Mewtwo was Lv. 88.
Just right as an opponent for Zeraora.
With some luck.
Mewtwo might even be able to level up through this battle.
As for Kazuya...
Even without the Zap Plate.
He could one-shot Zeraora if he acted.
No matter how fast this big black cat was, it was meaningless.
In front of his combo of Dark Void and Nightmare, if one's mental resistance wasn't strong enough, it was impossible to win a one-on-one.
Unless this Zeraora ran hundreds of meters away and continuously shot ranged moves at Kazuya.
But that was clearly impossible.
Although Zeraora's Special Attack wasn't much weaker than Its Physical Attack.
Its move pool consisted almost entirely of close-combat physical moves.
Even Its signature move was a close-combat physical skill.
This locked Zeraora's combat style into being purely close-quarters.
And close quarters.
Meant It was destined to charge into the range of Kazuya's Dark Void.
The result would still not escape a single word: "sleep."
A normal Pokémon might be able to counter Kazuya by breaking the nightmare.
But a Demon God without much reasoning ability could forget about it.
"Alright."
Mewtwo nodded, saying nothing more.
It just so happened.
This humanoid white cat was quite interested in this humanoid black cat.
To have a fight.
And see who was stronger.
Strangely enough.
That Zeraora was clearly staring at them the whole time.
But It just wouldn't actively attack.
And judging from the other party's appearance and aura.
It was indeed a typical Demon God.
Come to think of it.
Even after being corrupted, this Zeraora still maintained a certain degree of intelligence. It sensed the danger level of Kazuya and Mewtwo, so It was hesitating whether to attack.
However.
The other party not attacking.
Didn't mean Mewtwo and Kazuya would let It go.
Opportunities to encounter lone Demon Gods were truly rare; they should clear out one whenever they could.
Not to mention.
Kazuya's Dark Void was itching to get at these Demon Gods.
The God of Racing Thunder.
He wondered what kind of power could be devoured from It.
Mewtwo launched the attack first.
He raised His hand, and an intense pink wave of psychic energy rushed out.
Psystrike.
This move was extremely fast and had a large range.
It was not easy to dodge.
It was very suitable as an opening attack to test the waters.
However.
The next second, Kazuya raised his eyelids.
A hint of surprise and astonishment inevitably appeared in his eyes.
"This speed is quite something..."
He muttered to himself, then closed his eyes.
Closing his eyes.
Was to enhance the sensitivity of his Aura perception and psychic perception.
That's right.
Kazuya discovered.
He actually couldn't capture Zeraora's movement trajectory with his naked eye!
It wasn't just Kazuya.
Mewtwo was the same.
Looking around, He could only see a few strands of blue electric sparks occasionally appearing in mid-air.
As for the main body of that black cat.
His naked eye simply couldn't keep up with the other's figure.
"..."
Mewtwo panicked for a split second.
And in that split second, Zeraora had already arrived behind Him.
Bzzzt!
The sound of electric current and blue electric light appeared beside Him simultaneously.
Mewtwo hooked His index finger and instantly vanished from His spot.
The next moment.
He appeared fifty meters away.
Bzzzt!
"?!"
"..."
Mewtwo widened His eyes.
Even after using Teleport, the sound of electric current was actually still echoing in His ears?!
Bang!
A sharp pain came from His waist.
Mewtwo was hit by Zeraora's Plasma Fists.
Fortunately, this move didn't carry an added paralysis effect.
So after taking the hit.
Mewtwo didn't hesitate at all and immediately launched a counterattack.
Expanding Force!
Intense psychic waves radiated outward from Mewtwo as the center, crushing in all directions.
Zeraora stomped Its feet, leaving a streak of blue electric light in place, and Its figure instantly appeared a hundred meters away.
"Wow~"
Kazuya's exclamation of awe rang out.
As an observer.
He discovered an incredible thing.
Within a hundred meters, to any location.
That Mega Zeraora running over on Its feet was faster than Mewtwo teleporting over!
Moreover.
Zeraora wasn't a flightless bird.
It could move at high speeds in the air by relying on the magnetic field generated by Its own body.
The speed wasn't much slower than on the ground.
"Looks like it's going to be a tough battle."
Kazuya smacked his lips and sighed with emotion.
Mewtwo would inevitably suffer a bit today.
After all.
Over the past ten-odd years.
Apart from Kazuya.
Mewtwo had never encountered an opponent in battle who could counter Teleport.
Even Scizor and Lucario's speed couldn't catch up to Mewtwo after He used Teleport.
Only Kazuya could.
But he belonged to the "using the opponent's methods against them" category.
Using Teleport to counter Mewtwo's Teleport.
It wasn't the same concept as Zeraora.
Therefore.
Facing an opponent like Zeraora.
Mewtwo lacked a certain amount of experience.
For Him to win this battle, it was inevitable He'd take a few more punches.
And Kazuya stood aside unhurriedly, quietly watching the battle, occasionally offering a few critiques from an observer's perspective.
Although Zeraora was rather tricky, he still had a lot of confidence in Mewtwo.
So.
Kazuya had no intention of interfering.
And the result didn't exceed his expectations either.
After this battle lasted for over half an hour.
Zeraora ultimately lost to Mewtwo's Future Sight.
And this God of Racing Thunder.
Also successfully became food for Dark Void.
Offering Kazuya the power named "Power of Racing Thunder."
