Chapter 278 278: The Price of Victory
Tyranitar's right arm, struck by the freezing beam, was almost instantly frozen solid. The biting cold caused its expression to turn ugly.
Seeing the attack land, Piloswine's second wave of offense immediately followed.
"Gengar, use Spite!"
In the games, Spite reduced the PP of the opponent's last move, but in this world, its effect was to weaken the opponent's physical strength.
Piloswine didn't dodge and directly endured Gengar's Spite. It was obvious that Pryce and Piloswine had already decided to focus everything on defeating Tyranitar first. As long as they could bring down Tyranitar, even taking some injuries themselves was completely acceptable.
The situation instantly became critical. It had truly become a battle of life and death.
It would take time for Tyranitar to melt the ice covering its body, and right now, Charizard needed to buy that time.
"Charizard…" There was both hesitation and pleading in Sam's voice.
Charizard instantly understood what Sam meant. Fire-type energy erupted from its body, flames engulfing it completely. The blazing fire burned fiercely in the freezing winter, as if Charizard was igniting every last bit of its strength.
"Burn Up!"
This was the strongest move Charizard currently possessed.
But powerful moves often came with devastating side effects.
Burn Up was exactly that kind of move.
Once used, Charizard's Special Attack would be drastically reduced. This was a desperate all-or-nothing attack.
To buy time for Tyranitar, Charizard had gambled everything.
Without the slightest hesitation, Charizard charged directly into Piloswine's Ice Beam.
Fire and ice collided violently, erupting with terrifying energy the instant they met.
The deafening explosion echoed across the battlefield. Under Charizard's desperate resistance, the unstoppable freezing beam gradually weakened before finally turning into steam and disappearing completely.
But Charizard's condition had become terrible. The flames symbolizing its life force flickered weakly, on the verge of going out. Frost covered its wings, and it could only remain airborne through sheer determination.
"Come back, Charizard. Thank you."
Tyranitar had finally escaped the frozen state, and a furious roar burst from its mouth.
The roar of a king echoed through the sky.
Tyranitar was furious. Proud and arrogant by nature, it had never imagined that it would need to rely on the sacrifices of its partners just to turn the tide of battle.
Pain, anger, humiliation—all kinds of emotions surged through Tyranitar's heart. Its aura rose to the extreme, and its eyes locked solely onto Piloswine.
Only by defeating its opponent could it wash away this shame.
As Charizard returned to its Poké Ball, Gengar also began to move.
Its expression turned unusually solemn.
To defeat such a terrifying opponent, sacrifices had to be made. Charizard had already given everything. Now it was Gengar's turn.
At the cost of all its remaining strength, Gengar transformed itself into the most terrifying curse imaginable.
Dark energy radiated from Gengar's body as a sinister aura enveloped Piloswine.
Pryce's expression finally changed.
Ghost-type Pokémon were extremely troublesome opponents in this environment. Their bizarre curses made them incredibly difficult to deal with in battle.
Under the effects of the curse, Piloswine's physical strength rapidly drained away as pain spread through its body.
For the first time in battle, Piloswine felt pain.
A deep growl escaped from Piloswine's mouth. Gengar's strange abilities had forced it to reveal more of its true strength.
Sharp ice blades burst from the ground, aiming directly at Gengar.
Gengar didn't dodge the incoming attack. Instead, it revealed its usual grin and calmly faced the attack head-on.
"Thank you, Gengar."
Gengar and Charizard had already done everything they could.
Now, everything rested on Sam and Tyranitar.
This was no longer about system missions.
It had become personal.
Only by defeating Pryce and Piloswine could Sam and Tyranitar settle the hatred burning in their hearts.
Sam didn't need to give any commands.
Tyranitar's attack had already begun.
Terrifying energy condensed inside Tyranitar's mouth. In just a few seconds, a massive sphere of destructive power formed.
The devastating energy transformed into a deadly beam that blasted toward Piloswine. Everywhere it passed, the surrounding ice and snow instantly melted from the extreme heat.
"Piloswine, use Blizzard!"
The already raging snowstorm became even fiercer. Countless icicles formed in front of Piloswine. The Blizzard continuously weakened the destructive beam while simultaneously reinforcing the hardness and power of the icicles.
The moment the icicles collided with the devastating attack, the ground began to tremble violently. Nearby trees collapsed one after another, and before long, even the earth itself began to cave in under the overwhelming force.
The instant the explosion subsided, Piloswine immediately moved.
It was hard to imagine such speed from a Piloswine. It rushed straight through the explosion zone, concentrating all of its remaining power into a single attack.
"High Horsepower!"
