Chapter 544 - Astonishing Acrobatic Flying

Extreme Quiver Dance?

Totem Vikavolt and the Charjabug might not understand the significance of this move, but the moment the silver-white storm appeared, the intense hurricane merged seamlessly with Beautifly, exuding an overwhelming pressure. The countless electric beams that entered the storm seemed to sink into a black hole, while Beautifly drifted within the storm, its movements seemingly uncontrollable. However, no matter how dense the electric sparks beams, as long as they came into contact with the silver hurricane, Beautifly remained completely unharmed.

Totem Vikavolt initially watched calmly as the Charjabug attacked Beautifly from all directions, but as Beautifly's aura gradually rose, Totem Vikavolt could no longer stay still.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

Beautifly's Extreme Quiver Dance, combined with hurricane-like air currents, allowed it to power up to an extraordinary level in an extremely short time.

Even if an opponent wanted to stop it, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't get the chance.

With its violent air currents, Beautifly existed in an absolute domain of its own. Any enemy that entered this domain was far less capable of adapting to the shifting air currents than Beautifly, making it the superior in both evasion and attack.

Relying on the powerful storm, the pace of Beautifly's Quiver Dance was incredibly fast. However, in the next moment, Totem Vikavolt demonstrated a flying maneuver that even left Terrance astonished.

"Terrance, be careful! Vikavolt excels at tailspin and sharp turns—these acrobatic flying maneuvers make it extremely difficult to deal with!" Rotom Pokédex warned nervously as it saw Totem Vikavolt dive straight from above into Beautifly's hurricane.

"It's fine," Terrance replied quickly.

To be honest, he had never seen a Pokémon that dared to ignore Beautifly's raging Silver Wind. Normally, any opponent that tried to charge in head-on would be shredded to pieces by the powdery scales swirling within.

But this was the first time he had seen an opponent like Vikavolt, invading from above.

"Acrobatic Flying?" Terrance murmured. "Then let's see how Beautifly handles it."

Beautifly's prideful, raging air current-infused Quiver Dance was now thrown into disarray by Totem Vikavolt's powerful intrusion. Although it still maintained the trajectory of Quiver Dance, the sheer pressure from Totem Vikavolt was overwhelming, putting Beautifly at a severe disadvantage.

Amidst the violent currents of Silver Wind, Beautifly continued its Quiver Dance while manipulating its powdery scales, transforming them into razor-sharp blades that slashed toward Vikavolt. However, each time the powdery scales closed in, Vikavolt's body emitted arcs of electricity that ignited them, scorching them into nothingness.

Despite being in the chaotic air currents, Vikavolt's flight remained completely unaffected.

"Both sides are incredible!" Rotom Pokédex exclaimed in astonishment as it recorded the battle.

The space with chaotic air currents had been created by Beautifly, but Totem Vikavolt's flying maneuvers were simply astonishing. Whether it was a tailspin or a sharp turn, it executed each maneuver with precise control over every detail. Even while fighting within the enemy's domain, it still maintained complete mastery over its own rhythm.

"What's with this flying maneuver?" Terrance frowned. Even if Vikavolt had its own expertise, this level of tailspin and sharp turns was beyond excessive—it was actually keeping up with Beautifly's strongest technique without falling behind.

"This Vikavolt is a Totem Pokémon. I can't compare its maneuvers to those of an ordinary Vikavolt."

After a brief moment, Terrance refocused on the battle. Although Beautifly was being relentlessly pursued, Totem Vikavolt hadn't been able to land a decisive blow within this short time frame either.

At first glance, Beautifly appeared to be at a disadvantage. However, as time passed, once Beautifly completed its Quiver Dance, the battle would take a dramatic turn.

.......

From a distance, Nanu silently observed the fight. As the battle's pace intensified, the expression on the Island Kahuna's face grew increasingly serious.

He was well aware of just how terrifying Totem Vikavolt's acrobatic flying maneuvers were—after all, they had been acknowledged by this island's guardian deity, Tapu Bulu.

As Island Kahuna, Nanu didn't know every detail, but he had some understanding of the origins of Vikavolt's acrobatic flying maneuvers.

Originally, within the Vikavolt swarm, this particular Vikavolt's flying maneuvers had been rather unremarkable—if anything, they were quite rough. While other Vikavolt could weave through the forest at high speed, expertly avoiding the complicated tangles of branches, this one had destroyed countless trees during its training.

Tapu Bulu wasn't fond of conflict, but seeing the island's forest being destroyed by a single Pokémon inevitably made it angry, prompting it to step in and teach the Vikavolt a lesson.

However, despite its lack of natural talent, Vikavolt's willpower was astonishing. Even when faced with the island's guardian deity, it showed no fear or hesitation.

Tapu Bulu wielded its power to control and accelerate the growth of plants, punishing Vikavolt like a sovereign of the forest. However, even Tapu Bulu hadn't anticipated that such intense pressure would awaken Vikavolt's latent potential. Faced with an endless assault of wildly expanding vegetation, Vikavolt could only dodge as best it could. In the process, its acrobatic flying maneuvers improved at an astonishing rate, reaching near-masterful level.

Tapu Bulu disliked meaningless battles, and at first, it had only intended to issue a warning to Vikavolt. But when it noticed Vikavolt's unique talent in a specific area, it began to pay closer attention to it.

In other words, Totem Vikavolt's current strength and acrobatic flying maneuvers were entirely forged through the trials set by the island's guardian deity, Tapu Bulu.

"This is just the beginning... Vikavolt hasn't even shown its full strength yet. Can your Beautifly hold on?"

Knowing the true extent of Totem Vikavolt's skills—having experienced them firsthand—Nanu was astonished that Terrance's Beautifly had managed to hold its own for this long.

A Bug-type Pokémon, and not just any Bug-type, but a Beautifly... To be honest, the fact that Terrance had trained it to this level had already left Nanu deeply shocked.

.....

Boom!

Beautifly and Totem Vikavolt darted back and forth, their silhouettes twisting and turning at extreme speeds within the raging Silver Wind, each testing the limits of their respective flying maneuvers.

One side mastered flight by harnessing the power of air currents, while the other showcased high-difficulty flying maneuvers through pure Acrobatics. Neither was willing to back down. However, as Beautifly finally completed its Quiver Dance, its momentum surged to its peak. In an instant, it seized control of the battle, its speed erupting explosively as it seized the perfect opportunity to unleash Silver Wind in its most violent form, blasting directly at Vikavolt.

Caught by Beautifly's ultimate counterattack, Totem Vikavolt was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree.
