Feeling the sharp gaze of Pheromosa, Froslass chose to back off once again, stopping the maintenance of her Blizzard skill and casting a semi transparent shield.
For some reason, whenever she faced Pheromosa she always felt like she was standing in front of a terrifying assassin.
Like the slightest mistake on her part would mean a total loss.
"Yo~?", Facing Froslass's Protect, Pheromosa showed a look of disdain.
With the buffs from so many traits, what she lacked the least was destructive power. Even without using her best Fighting type moves, she was still confident she could break Froslass's shield.
In other words, at the same tier, her destructive force was unbeatable.
When the two made contact, Pheromosa's body froze in midair for an instant, and Froslass's shield was like a tough membrane, forcibly caving inward, looking like it could be pierced at any moment.
Pryce knew that being anxious now was useless. His eyes swept across the battlefield, wanting to see if there was anything else he could use, but with one look, Pryce went blank.
At some unknown point, Delibird had already been pinned under Giratina, his eyes spinning in circles as he had fallen unconscious.
Over on Swinub's side, it was still locked in a stalemate with the Fairy Empress. Large numbers of ice puppets had appeared behind both sides, bombarding each other like two armies, and the entire mountain peak had already been flattened by the aftershocks of their battle.
Seeing this scene, Pryce's eyelids twitched wildly. He had not expected Axel to already have the combat power to crush him head on.
"Axel, this ends here today. Do not push me!"
Seeing Pryce still talking big at a time like this, Axel bared his teeth in a grin, his eyes cold, not even bothering to respond.
"Swinub!", Pryce clenched his fists, his whole body trembling, clearly furious at Axel's reaction.
He shouted Swinub's name at the top of his lungs. Swinub immediately split his attention and looked toward Pryce, his eyes also filled with urgency.
In the current situation, he too felt that today was extremely dangerous.
"Evolve. Do not hold back your power anymore."
"I am going to make Axel regret it. I am going to make him regret that he released a demon!"
"I did not want it to be like this... when I look at Swinub, it feels like I am still that trainer from when I was young, like Lapras has not yet left this world."
"But you keep forcing me!"
Pryce glared viciously at Axel, his eyes bloodshot, terrifying like a demon that had crawled out of hell.
Axel was silent for a moment. For the first time, he understood why Pryce had never allowed his Swinub to evolve.
After taking a deep breath, Axel decided to say one line to try to persuade him.
"You are obsessed. You could have seen that Lapras in the right way, just like Glastrier."
"Using everything in the world like this, treating everything as a tool, to go catch a Celebi that does not belong to you, that in itself is a crooked path."
"Bullshit!", Pryce looked extremely agitated, forcing himself up from his wheelchair with the strength of his upper body.
"You make it sound easy, but I have already investigated it. Even if Glastrier went back to the past using Dialga's power, all it did was see Zhao Yun once."
"What I want is to bring Lapras back and let him truly live again!"
"So what if you stop me? As long as I find Necrozma and obtain his power, I can still achieve this goal!"
Amid Pryce's roar, Swinub also kept letting out furious howls. Successive waves of evolution light wrapped around him as his surging power climbed higher and higher, and the figure shrouded in white light grew larger and larger.
Swinub. Piloswine. Mamoswine.
In just a few seconds, Swinub completed two evolutions in a row and became his final form.
The power on his body kept rising, not losing out even to the level 70 plus Giratina.
Feeling the terrifying ground controlling power on Mamoswine's body, Axel knew that he would not be able to keep Pryce here today.
As long as the other side was determined to run, he did not have a single Pokémon here that could stop Pryce.
As for that Delibird... Axel did not plan to kill it either.
Pryce was extremely obsessed right now. Having Gardevoir leave a "good" mental seed in him might be more useful than a dead bird.
What if it could influence Pryce?
While having Gardevoir take action, Axel also looked toward Pryce.
"No need to fight anymore. Answer me one question and I will give Delibird back to you."
Pryce was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Axel to give Delibird back so easily, "What question?"
"The Aether Paradise. Where is the Sky Island section?"
Pryce fell silent, somewhat unwilling to answer this question, but after glancing at Delibird under Giratina's foot, he still spoke helplessly.
"I do not know their current location. I only know their target is the Hoenn region."
"Our plan is to find Kyogre or Groudon and hide the Ultra Wormhole generator inside one of those two Pokémon. That way, we can keep Ultra Wormholes opening steadily."
Pryce revealed Aether Paradise's goal without hesitation, because he knew that Axel had Black Rayquaza with him, and Kyogre and Groudon were extremely afraid of Rayquaza and would definitely do everything they could to avoid Axel.
In other words, Axel would never see Kyogre or Groudon in his life, so in this matter he could not possibly become their opponent.
Axel nodded lightly. He had already known that Aether Paradise was moving westward. He just had not expected their target to be the Hoenn region.
But thinking about it, that did seem more reasonable. Those two guys had extremely high concealment abilities. If Aether Paradise pulled this off, probably no one could stop them from continuously opening irregular rifts.
But it seemed... this was right in Axel's line of work.
If he remembered correctly, Axel still had a few Team Magma subordinates.
"Alright, another question."
Pryce was taken aback and said angrily, "You just said there was only one question!"
Axel curled his lips, "I asked. Can you not answer? You are such an old man and still so petty, like a little kid."
Pryce: "???"
'I only went against you once, and look at what you have done to my forces.'
'And you say I am petty!'
"I am asking you, where is Silver? Is he dead or alive?"
Axel was not working for Giovanni. He was just extremely curious about Silver's whereabouts. If that kid was trained well, maybe he could take down Team Rocket in the future without shedding a drop of blood.
"I will fcking kill your Silver!", The moment Pryce heard this question about his adopted son, he exploded.
"How the hell would I know where Silver is?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me where my adopted son is. Right now I do not even know where my adopted son is!"
"Tell me yourself, how many of my adopted sons and daughters are even left after what you people did to them?"
"And you still dare to look for him!"
"When I see Silver, I will brainwash him hard, and then make him kill you!"
"Kill who?", Axel blinked.
"Kill you and Giovanni!"
Pryce cursed as he had Mamoswine carry him away, leaving behind Axel with a helpless look on his face.
"I did not want to mess him up in the first place... who told him to swear, and swear so straightforwardly?"
"Rotom, help me edit that line. I am going to send it to Giovanni later!"
