Chapter 1405 Facing the Archaeopteryx (2-in-1)
The ice energy ball in the Snow Fairy's hand was like a dazzling flashlight, emitting a blinding beam of light that shone on the Primordial Bird Clan before her.
Wherever the freezing beam passed, everything was instantly frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.
The two master-level peak ancestral bird leaders also sensed the terror of this freezing beam. The moment the beam struck, they unleashed astonishing speed, creating a howling wind.
Visible flight-type energy enveloped its body, forming surging air currents, and it rose into the air with the wind.
The two proto-birds dodged the Snow Witch's attacks from the left and right, but even so, their wings were still hit by the beam of light.
In an instant, a bone-chilling cold swept over them like a tide, corroding their bodies. Frost spread like a spider web, freezing half of their bodies in less than a breath, and continued to spread without any sign of stopping.
"Roar!"
The two Archaeopteryx birds roared in unison, and rock-based energy surged from their bodies, forming sharp rocks that shattered the frost covering their bodies.
However, just as they broke free from the icy grip, Deoxys and Darkrai attacked from the left and right, each taking on one of the Archaeopteryx.
"Evil wave!"
Darkrai naturally used its most powerful move, Dark Pulse.
A burst of dark, dark energy erupted, forming a dazzling shockwave that surged toward the Archaeopteryx on the left.
Deoxys on the right instantly switched to attack mode, its psychic energy surging and transforming into a giant fist that slammed out!
Mental shock!
"boom!"
With two loud bangs, the two Archaeopteryx birds had no time to react before being struck by the fierce attack.
The Archaeopteryx on the left was hit by the Dark Wave, and the dark energy engulfed its body like a black tide, swallowing and submerging it.
The evil energy burrowed into its body like black worms, corroding its form.
"Roar!"
The excruciating pain caused Archaeopteryx to let out a painful roar. It flapped its wings repeatedly, trying to shake off the Dark-type energy. At the same time, Rock-type energy burst forth from its body, forming rows of rocks in front of it, which attacked Darkrai like sharp swords!
On the other side, Deoxys's burst of mental energy also struck another Archaeopteryx.
Archaeopteryx caught its breath, its body stiffening in mid-air. As if struck by a heavy truck, it was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, its massive body tumbling several times in the air before finally regaining its footing.
In just one exchange, Xia Yu's three Pokémon gained the upper hand.
However, Xia Yu's face showed no smile. These two master-level proto-birds were just the vanguard; the real boss was yet to come.
Winning against them was inevitable, and what Xia Yu had to do was to secure the victory at the lowest possible cost!
The two Archaeopteryx birds came to their senses, shook their heads slightly, and looked at Xia Yu and the three Pokémon with more vigilance and apprehension.
"Roar!"
They let out their signature roars, like the sound of a knife sharpening rock, and brownish-yellow rock-based energy permeated their bodies, forming countless huge rocks in front of them!
"boom!"
Rockfall, and it was a double rockfall!
The two Archaeopteryx simultaneously used the Rock Slide move, and countless rocks rolled in like a mudslide, blotting out the sky and almost covering a large part of the sky.
The sharp sound of gravel scraping against each other pierced the eardrums, and the heavy sense of oppression made the drowsy air stagnate. The sea of clouds was shaken and churned by the power of the lava flow, scattering across the sky like crumpled cotton.
"Darkrai, Dark Pulse!"
"Deoxys, Psychic Shock!"
The two commands sounded almost simultaneously, and before the words were even finished, two completely different figures unleashed terrifying auras.
Darkrai's black body was shrouded in a thick, inky mist that fluttered like a flag.
Its scarlet eyes gleamed with a cold light in the dimness, and twisted, spinning dark energy instantly gathered in its palm. A thick wave of dark energy, carrying an aura of destruction, rushed toward the collapsing rocks.
On the other side, Deoxys appeared as a streak of light, instantly switching to speed mode. Its already slender body became even thinner, and its orange body glowed with a purple psychic light.
The meteorite core on his chest shimmered with an eerie light, and his superpowers twisted and transformed in the air, eventually coalescing into countless purple flashes.
"boom!"
The superpowers transformed into countless beams of light, sweeping towards the lava flow like a torrential rain.
The waves of evil and the spiritual blades, one black and one purple, intertwined in the air to form a net that combined offense and defense.
Wherever the dark purple energy passed, rocks crumbled as if smashed by an invisible force, while the deep purple mental shock precisely struck all the stones, blasting countless boulders into dust.
The originally impenetrable Double Rock Collapse technique was actually broken by the combined force of these two techniques. The shattered rock fragments turned into dust under the impact of energy, filling the air.
"Wow!"
Upon seeing this, the two giant birds in the air let out sharp cries of anger, a hint of fear showing in their eyes.
Even though they have master-level strength, they still cannot change their inherent weakness. After witnessing the terrifying power of Darkrai and Deoxys, they are filled with fear and want to seek help from the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, which is perched on the mountaintop!
They are no match for this person... or these three Pokémon.
Behind the two master-level peak proto-birds, the other proto-birds had already fled when the Snow Fairy made her move. They could clearly sense the Snow Fairy's powerful strength and naturally knew that this level of battle was not something they could interfere with!
Xia Yu didn't have Froslass exterminate the group of Prototype birds. As long as the other Prototype birds didn't actively seek death, he generally wouldn't eliminate them completely. Of course, this applies to Pokémon; as for humans... well, never mind.
"Snow Witch, blizzard!"
Xia Yu's voice rang out again, giving the two Archaeopteryxes no chance to catch their breath!
Upon hearing this, the Snow Fairy's eyes shone with a dazzling light, as brilliant as fluorescent light, and snowflakes danced in the air, turning the entire sky white.
"boom!"
The snow waves rolled down from the sky like a waterfall of silver.
Seeing such a terrifying attack, the pupils of the two proto-birds trembled, and then they suddenly let out a roar!
"Wow!"
Their wings flapped at a sudden faster frequency, and rock-type energy surged forth from their bodies, enveloping them.
Countless rocks coalesced in front of them. Unlike the previous rock collapse, this time the coalesced rocks were rhomboid in shape with sharp edges, just like blades. At the same time, the surface of the rocks was covered with a faint layer of rock-type energy, making them even more powerful than before.
Sharp stone attack!
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”
Countless rocks traced graceful arcs in the air, leaving brown afterimages as they hurtled towards Darkrai, Froslass, and Deoxys.
Faced with the attack from Archaeopteryx, Darkrai raised his hands high, and dark mist instantly spread out. The black tide formed by dark energy spread out like the night sky, and endless darkness swept in, shrouding the entire world in this shadow.
Darkrai then flashed into the air, almost merging with the black mist that filled the sky.
Then a bizarre scene unfolded: those sharp rock blades pierced straight through Darkrai's misty body without causing it any damage at all!
This scene is clearly illogical. Although Darkrai's body has no physical form, the Protobirds' Stone Strike attack is imbued with rock-type energy and should have been able to hit Darkrai.
Amidst the astonished expressions of the Archaeopteryx, Darkrai, enveloped in a black tide, moved like a god who controlled the night and dreams, slashing through the rain of rubble with its claws out.
With the burst of dark energy, countless black tentacles shot out from the black mist and surged toward the two Archaeopteryx, entangling them!
A flash of black, malevolent energy passed by, like a drop of water falling into the water, creating ripples in the space!
The two Archaeopteryx birds felt a weariness from the depths of their souls, followed by a dizzying sensation as the colorful world turned into a black and white world!
Darkrai's figure suddenly grew to an immense size, blotting out the sky like a god, its scarlet eyes staring at them, radiating a terrifying and awe-inspiring light!
"boom!"
An endless black tide engulfed and swallowed them.
…………
real world.
The two Archaeopteryx had closed their eyes and fallen into a deep sleep. Deoxys, with its psychic energy surging around it, supported their bodies. Their bodies were trembling constantly, clearly having a terrifying nightmare in the dream world.
Deoxys hovered in mid-air, its core, which had been shining brightly, gradually dimmed. It turned its head and looked at Darkrai beside it, carefully examining it from head to toe.
It had never seen Darkrai use that move before. Unbeknownst to it, this guy had become stronger again, and could actually pull two Master-level peak Proto-Birds into its dream at the same time.
Although it and Froslass provided assistance, Darkrai had never achieved such a feat before.
"Good teamwork!" Xia Yu also focused his gaze on Darkrai, equally surprised by Darkrai's performance.
Darkrai's control over the dream world is now unparalleled, and its strength has improved even further. Although it is still not as good as its father, Nightmare God, it has already shown some of Nightmare God's prowess.
After praising Darkrai, Xia Yu fixed his gaze on the sleeping Proto-Bird and slowly said, "Froslass, you take action. I guarantee that even if they wake up, they won't have any fighting power!"
As Xia Yu's voice fell, ice-type energy surged from the Snow Fairy's body. With a gentle wave, the extremely cold aura froze the two of them like a tide.
However, at that moment, the gray clouds above the dome were suddenly torn apart, and the sharp wind sounded like a mournful wail.
A ray of sunlight shone through the crack, illuminating Xia Yu and the three Pokémon.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar erupted from the crack in the clouds, echoing through the mountains and mist. The piercing sound forced Xia Yu to cover his ears.
The red tail tip, with its azure feathers, gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.
The Ancestral Bird, the master of the Sky, clung to the towering peak, its red and green head peeking out from the clouds, its dark vertical pupils staring at Xia Yu and the three Pokémon.
At this moment, Xia Yu finally saw the true appearance of the Sky Treasure Master, the Progenitor Bird. Like the Rock Wall Treasure Master, the Crab, the Sky Treasure Master, the Progenitor Bird, was extremely large, just like a permanent Gigantamax Pokémon!
Even two master-level Archaeopteryx birds are like babies in front of it.
The overwhelming pressure from the quasi-god level strength was suffocating and despairing, and a chilling aura permeated the air.

…………
As expected, he is at the quasi-god level.
"call!"
Xia Yu took a deep breath to calm his nerves. The Proto-Bird in front of him shouldn't be called the Proto-Bird, but rather the Proto-Dragon.
"Humans, release them." A gloomy and hoarse voice rang out. The cold pupils of the Primordial Bird of the Sky were fixed on Xia Yu as it slowly spoke.
Facing the quasi-god-level Ancestral Bird of the Sky, Xia Yu did not respond directly. Instead, he took a deep breath and said to the Ancestral Bird, "Ancestral Bird of the Sky, I have come here to challenge you and gain your recognition."
“Fine.” The voice of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, rang out: “I accept your challenge, but you must release my people first.”
Seeing that the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, was so easy to talk to, Xia Yu frowned slightly, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
The descriptions of this Sky Lord Proto-Bird seem to be completely different from those Xia Yu heard from other Pokémon leaders.
However, Xia Yu did not do as instructed. Instead, he glanced at the two frozen ancestral birds, then looked up at the Sky Lord Ancestral Bird and slowly said, "Sky Lord, how can I gain your approval?"
"It's very simple." The voice of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, slowly rang out: "As long as you can pass my little test, you will gain my approval."
"What kind of test?" Xia Yu asked, frowning. He didn't trust the Sky Treasure Master Ancestral Bird in front of him and remained vigilant.
"Just let your Pokémon race against my kind," said the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky. "If you can beat it, you'll pass my test."
So simple?
A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. He didn't believe the so-called test would be so simple; the two master-level proto-birds weren't particularly fast. Such an easy test was practically a freebie.
“But not now.” The Primordial Bird of the Sky continued, “My people are all injured now, and we must wait until you have all recovered before we can test you.”
Xia Yu's eyes turned slightly cold at the words of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky.
At this moment, he was certain that the Primordial Bird of the Sky was deceiving him, and its purpose was only to save the two Primordial Birds!
