Axel jumped onto Kyurem's neck. With one hand gripping the gaps between the ice crystals and firmly embedding himself onto Kyurem's body, he tried to contact Gardevoir.
His physical strength was outstanding, but unlike Ash, he couldn't even use skills himself.
Not dying in the short term was easy enough, but if this dragged on, he would definitely end up taking hits.
["Master… do you need me to go in?"]
The moment this voice sounded, Kyurem froze.
By all logic, this Glaciate World of his could freeze everything, including thoughts.
So how did this Gardevoir's voice get through?
It was completely outrageous, alright!
Obviously, Kyurem, who had lived in ice caverns for years, even though he had just fought Gardevoir once, still found it hard to understand what psychic power was.
"You don't need to come in," Axel choked Kyurem's throat with one hand while thinking.
If he remembered correctly, Kyurem had just said that even he himself couldn't easily leave this prison.
In that case, it seemed to satisfy the conditions for capturing Kyurem.
Only the strong were qualified to act as jailers. The weak could only be prisoners.
As long as the other side couldn't get out, who cared whose prison this was?
What was missing now was a combat power capable of firmly suppressing Kyurem. Gardevoir was strong too, but she needed a series of buffs and transformations to suppress Kyurem, which clearly didn't meet the requirements.
The most suitable one for this kind of job was still Rayquaza. With infinite Dragon Dance stacked up, even with a quadruple weakness to Ice, it could still overpower a normal-state Kyurem.
"Gardevoir, ask Gyarados if, without breaking this prison, he can send Rayquaza inside."
Gardevoir paused for a moment, quickly understood Axel's plan, asked Gyarados, and then gave an affirmative reply.
Axel grinned, "Then let them come in."
Off to the side, Kyurem was even more confused. Was he really treating this prison of his like it was fake?
Under the boost of divine authority, almost all energy effects would be intercepted by this prison.
Aside from Giratina and Palkia, only Arceus should be able to enter without taking damage.
Kyurem was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.
["Kid, you're stalling for time, aren't you?"]
["I'm telling you, this method is useless. My people will block your Pokémon outside!"]
["By the time they get in, you'll already be dead!"]
As he spoke, Kyurem condensed a string of ice spikes in midair and viciously stabbed them toward the back of his own neck.
He refused to believe Axel could still block his skill.
Seeing Kyurem fight without any sense of honor, Axel twitched his mouth. Psychic power surged, and he flew more than ten meters to the side.
["Sure enough, you're just a paper tiger,"] Seeing Axel dodge, Kyurem didn't even bother about being hit by his own ice spikes. Massive Dragon-type power immediately welled up around him as he slammed into Axel again.
Locked by the power of Dragon Ascent, Axel felt a jolt of dread and found himself unable to make any extra movements.
No way to dodge.
Axel tugged at the corner of his mouth. Luckily, he had practiced martial arts with Pheromosa, and even experienced Pheromosa's leg techniques up close.
So he simply copied Pheromosa and kicked out with one leg, choosing to directly clash with Kyurem's Dragon Ascent.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out.
The instant he made contact with Kyurem, Axel's lower leg bent sharply.
A vicious gleam flashed in Kyurem's eyes as he continued charging toward Axel with a cruel smile.
He had decided. He wouldn't kill Axel, but would pin him here and toy with him for several days.
Only then could he vent the hatred in his heart.
["Axel!"], Kyurem's huge face loomed close, his tone icy and sinister, ["I want you to wail in pain and beg for mercy in despair!"]
["Beg for mercy? In your dreams!"], At the exact moment Kyurem finished his cruel words, a massive spatial rift suddenly tore open inside the icy prison without any warning.
Rayquaza emerged from it, dark-golden pupils filled with killing intent.
'Damn it, Axel got hurt again!'
Once they got out, wouldn't he get nagged to death by that little girl Gardevoir?
Just thinking about Gardevoir possibly scolding him gave Rayquaza a headache, and the more he looked at Kyurem, the more displeased he felt.
["Ray… Rayquaza?"], Seeing Rayquaza's form, Kyurem was completely stunned, staring blankly at Axel.
Earlier, when he saw Axel able to communicate with the outside, he had already found it unbelievable.
But now he had actually sent someone in as well…
'Is this really how you play the game?'
["Rayquaza, listen to my explanation. I called Axel in just to negotiate a bit. I never planned to kill him. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."]
Rayquaza sneered, ["Go negotiate with my Dragon Ascent!"]
Axel grinned and found a spot to recover from his injuries, so that Gardevoir and the others wouldn't worry once he got out.
By the time his injuries were mostly healed, Kyurem had already been beaten by Rayquaza to the point where he couldn't even fly anymore, though he still hadn't given up struggling.
["Axel… quickly tell Rayquaza that I really didn't want to kill you just now…"]
Axel grinned, "Then what did you want to do?"
["I just wanted to trap you here and properly torment you for a few days, to get revenge for the past, that's all."]
Axel's mouth twitched. He had thought this guy would be like those two shameless Black and White Dragons and say something like, "Big brother, I just wanted to show you my strength and have you snatch me away from my current master."
Unfortunately, this guy's mouth was hard. So hard that even after cremation, there'd probably still be a mouth left.
"Decent reason. Then you can stay here and take a beating."
Axel turned around and instructed Rayquaza, "Rayquaza, I'll trouble you to properly educate him during this period."
"When the prison shatters, if he tries to run, just kill him."
Kyurem: "???"
'You really think I'm made of mud, huh?'
Rayquaza was strong, sure, but it wasn't like he definitely couldn't escape his clutches.
But Axel's next sentence completely shattered all of Kyurem's fantasies.
"I'll leave Eternatus with you. If he tries to run, just Gigantamax, yeah? It'll definitely look super cool."
Hearing this, fear immediately flashed through Kyurem's ice-forged eyes.
He remembered clearly that Axel had mastered an ability that could make Pokémon grow larger, greatly boosting their strength.
Even that slightly weaker white Pokémon, once enlarged, had been able to restrain him.
Rayquaza getting bigger?
That might really kill someone.
Kyurem immediately decided to keep this ice prison maintained at all times and wait it out until his master came to rescue him.
He refused to believe that his powerful new master couldn't beat Rayquaza.
The old man had said it himself. There were fewer than three people in the world who could beat him.
