Pokémon Court-Chapter 473: Levels of Strength

Darkrai currently appeared very peaceful, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, Albus knew that Darkrai was merely suppressing its urge to destroy everything, forcing itself to maintain its rationality by staying in this state.

This tranquility would collapse the moment any external force touched Darkrai...

The cave suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that the breathing of Albus and Terrance could be clearly heard.

Although they were reluctant to break this silence, time was pressing. The duration of Altaria's Mega Evolution was only a few minutes, leaving them no choice but to act quickly!

"Altaria, we only have one chance at this..."

Terrance murmured in his heart. With Darkrai currently in a "slumbering" state, they had a single opportunity for a "surprise attack".

The mysterious material that even Lucario's Aura Sphere couldn't break could only be tested using the Fairy-type energy of the Mega Altaria.

Some materials were fire-resistant, electricity-resistant, or water-resistant... but hearing Albus's description, Terrance had never seen something as sturdy as this.

This also sparked Terrance's curiosity about the device that amplified the effects of Darkrai's dream.

However, Darkrai was extremely sensitive to external energy. The moment something entered its perception range, it would instinctively retaliate.

Mega Altaria and Terrance exchanged a glance. Under the watchful eyes of Albus and Lucario, Terrance made a hand signal—Boom!!

Mega Altaria transformed into a blur, radiating countless dazzling fairy lights, charging straight for the device on Darkrai's waist!

The distance shrank rapidly... Mega Altaria was getting closer and closer to Darkrai. Just as it entered within half a meter of Darkrai, Terrance and Albus saw with their own eyes—Darkrai's dark blue eyes flickered slightly.

That flicker sent a chill through Terrance and Albus's hearts, but Mega Altaria did not stop. Its gaze remained locked onto the device on Darkrai's waist. It was already so close—at this short distance, Mega Altaria could reach the target in less than half a second. But just as Darkrai sensed external energy closing in... in the instant it perceived a threat, its hourglass-shaped body suddenly erupted with dark brown energy, compressing and releasing it like an explosion.

Dark Pulse?!

Terrance's pupils contracted. This execution method...

In an instant, Darkrai unleashed a terrifying aura brimming with malice. Even though Mega Altaria was shrouded in Fairy energy, it couldn't help but reveal a flicker of fear in its eyes upon sensing this malicious wave. However, it was only a momentary instinct. Mega Altaria quickly regained its composure and, braving the defensive Dark Pulse, continued its assault, aiming straight for the device on Darkrai's waist!

At the same time, Lucario also moved. Silver light filled its hands as it suddenly clapped, sending out an ear-piercing metallic sound that transformed into shockwaves, sweeping toward Darkrai.

Boom!!!!

Dark Pulse clashed with Mega Altaria. Mega Altaria forcibly withstood both the mental and physical pressure, keeping its focus locked on the device at Darkrai's waist. However...

Crack!

The Fairy energy swirling around Mega Altaria's beak broke through the Dark Pulse and struck the device on Darkrai's waist. Yet, all that could be heard was a faint cracking sound—only a tiny mark appeared on the device.

"Impossible! That move should have been able to shatter even steel into pieces."

This tiny mark was no different from having done no damage at all!

"Again!"

Albus decisively shouted. To ensure the first attack's success, they had no choice but to have Mega Altaria engage in close-combat. If they had used a ranged attack, they would have never been able to launch a sneak attack on Darkrai—it would be completely dispersed by that terrifying Dark Pulse.

This was the conclusion Albus and Lucario had reached from their previous battle with Darkrai.

Bang!!

At the same time, the dark brown energy condensed into an immensely powerful force, forming a shockwave that directly sent Mega Altaria flying!

But in the next moment, the silver Metal Sound swept through the air. Darkrai's body stiffened for an instant—its stats had begun to decline.

Lucario, Heal Pulse!

Channeling Aura power in his mind, Albus commanded Lucario to heal Mega Altaria. Forcing it's way through Dark Pulse's defense once had already resulted in Mega Altaria being sent flying. Albus couldn't help but feel a sense of dread—he fully understood how terrifyingly powerful this Darkrai was. Its strength was undoubtedly on a level higher than his own Lucario. Any Pokémon that suffered such an attack would be left utterly powerless.

Yet Mega Altaria had only sustained some injuries—not fatal ones!

"As expected of Mega Evolution... It wasn't as obvious when fighting against Lucario, but now I can see just how terrifying Mega Altaria's defenses really are." Albus's thoughts raced. At that moment, Lucario's Heal Pulse had already reached Mega Altaria, instantly healing the wounds inflicted by Dark Pulse.

In the span of a single breath, Lucario had already charged forward again. According to their plan, Lucario was responsible for holding Darkrai back, while Mega Altaria focused on destroying the dream weapon.

"Even though the first attack only left a tiny mark... this proves that Fairy energy is highly effective against that material!"

No longer caring about attacking sneakily, Mega Altaria could now freely unleash various Fairy-type moves. With Lucario keeping Darkrai occupied, they still had a great chance.

Whoosh!

Lucario moved, using Extreme Speed to approach Darkrai at an incredible pace. It conjured four Bone Clubs in its hands, maneuvering them to encircle Darkrai from four directions.

The Bone Rush move—now transformed into four shackles—completely restrained Darkrai, rendering it immobile.

"Altaria, use Moonblast to attack directly!"

Terrance shouted.

In an instant, a bright moon appeared, and its moonlight condensed into a sharp blade, rapidly charging toward the immobilized Darkrai.

But—

As Darkrai's aura surged once again, a powerful Dark Pulse once again swept out like a shockwave. In mere moments, the four Bone Clubs that had locked it in place were shattered into dust. The Moonblast attack was also completely devoured by a single sweep of its dark brown energy.

Boom!!

Darkrai launched its counterattack. For the first time, it focused on Lucario and Mega Altaria, forming a proper Dark Pulse. The dark brown energy condensed into an energy ball—resembling a forbidden move of overwhelming power—which Darkrai hurled forward with both hands. In an instant, the air itself seemed to compress.

Lucario, Aura Sphere!

Mega Altaria, Dragon Claw!

An immense collision erupted, shaking the entire cave. Outside, Fujiki heard the deafening sounds from within, her heart pounding wildly.
