Chapter 2

Ultra Giant - Pt.2






Ace darted up into the sky, causing both Pikachu and Nica to gasp as they were thrust upwards. Narrowing his eyes, the Alolan Raichu pushed himself forwards and was forced to travel at an angle to match the mountain’s slope.

Pikachu held the sides of Ace’s belly. He grit his teeth, struggling to maintain balance, before turning his gaze back to the massive Ultra Beast. Fighting against a larger opponent wasn’t new to him due to how small he was, even in comparison to his trainer, but this time the size difference was like nothing he had ever experienced. One mere look at the Ultra Beast he was about to fight made him feel insignificant, like he was nothing more than a tiny bug to the massive creature. They hadn’t even reached their opponent and it already hogged most of his field of view.

He glanced at the crumbling city behind him for a moment. In order to save what was left of it, they needed to lure the beast away and towards the sea.

<Time to get its attention,> Nica said before pushing herself free from Ace’s hold. Narrowing her eyes, she leapt into the air and landed on the tip of a nearby tree with the bronze patches of her four paws. She sprung from the top of one tree to another, keeping up with Ace’s speed. <Pikachu, throw me an ‘Electro Ball!’>

“On it!” Pikachu’s cheeks sparked as he sent a surge of electricity to his tail, the sphere growing larger as he chanted his name. The orb soon greatly surpassed its usual size. Once the ‘Electro Ball’ grew as big as he was, he jumped from Ace’s tail and spun, throwing his attack towards Nica. As he had hoped for, the superior Raichu took control of his attack using magnetic electricity while empowering the orb further.

The ‘Electro Ball’ circled around Nica’s tail… growing...

Having thrown the electric orb, Pikachu began to fall back down, using his momentum to fall forwards and land on the tip of a tree. Following Nica’s example, he dashed from branch to branch, following his friends with a determined glint in his eyes.

<Ace, your turn!> Nica shouted before swinging her tail, throwing the orb towards her brother.

Ace grabbed the ‘Electro Ball’ with his psychic powers, adding extra sparks of his own electricity as the sphere surpassed the size of a Raichu. <Pikachu, catch!>

Pikachu nodded and leapt, intercepting the orb in mid-air. Drops of sweat began to trickle down his face as the pressure from ‘Electro Ball’ became difficult to ignore. With a magical boost, they charged the orb way faster than before, yet it didn’t make it any easier to control. Should the sphere grow too big for his little tail, their strategy would, quite literally, blow into his face.

<Throw it to me and get ready to dodge! ‘Power Whip’ is coming!> Nica shouted.

Pikachu glanced over at the Ultra Beast, whose limb shone in a bright, green light. If Nica was indeed correct, the Ultra Beast was about to strike with a very powerful grass-type move. He gulped. The fact that its flexible limbs were the size of a skyscraper only added to its intimidation factor. It’s a good thing that this beast’s large size means we can see its movements from afar, he noted. Thankfully, we’ll at least have time to react. 

With a firm swing, Pikachu threw the orb towards Nica before changing his course. He jumped from tree to tree, trying to avoid where the Ultra Beast’s ‘Power Whip’ would land. Noticing that Ace was levitating by his side, he leaped onto his tail and used his forepaws to wrap around the Alolan Raichu’s belly, effectively anchoring himself. He looked over his shoulder at Nica who ran in the opposite direction with an orb of electricity in her possession. Cupping his paws around his mouth, he went to call for her before shaking his head and dropping his arms. He needed to focus on the battle, not distract his partner.

With his attention once again on the descending limb, he repeated “Pika, Pika, Pika” as a small orb of electricity sparked to life. It was much smaller than the one Nica and Ace helped charge, but even then, it was much stronger than his usual. Swinging it around his tail, he leapt off Ace’s tail and launched it towards the Ultra Beast. His attack exploded upon contact, pushing him back mid-air. He landed awkwardly on nearby tree, struggling to stay balanced, as his ears clamped to his side. The blinding light forced him to close his eyes as his tail shook from the blast. Squinting his eyes, he managed to crack them open, spotting Ace standing over him. A moment later, he felt the Raichu’s paws on the sides of his belly, pulling him back atop his tail as they gazed at the scorch mark left on the Beast’s limb.

Pikachu narrowed his eyes and frowned. Despite his attack having way more power, it only managed to slightly slow down the descending limb. He tightened his hold on Ace and his ears drooped the moment beast’s massive limb crashed into the forest, destroying any tree that stood in its way. If he wasn’t standing on a levitating tail, the quake of the impact would no doubt have knocked him off his feet.

Nica’s four paws were wrapped tightly around a tree, which bent and shook from the shockwave. Her tail straightened, keeping the orb of electricity in check. Once the tree stopped trembling, Nica climbed back to the top and jumped towards the massive cables which formed the Beast’s limb. 

Pikachu watched Nica as she landed on the cables and began running on it towards the head of the gigantic Beast with a massive sphere of electricity following her long tail, leaving a sparkling trial right behind her.

<I know what you’re thinking, and I totally agree!> Ace shouted before levitating towards the large limb, taking his sister’s example.

The titanic arm slowly raised from the ground and swung left and right, trying to shake off the intruders.

Ace remained unaffected, floating above the moving limb with a stressed smile. 

Nica grit her teeth, running relentlessly despite the sharp, jerky movements of the cable underneath her paws.

The massive beast seemed to shake its head in annoyance before raising its other arm, aiming straight for the two Raichus and Pikachu. The bronze tips of its limb twitched like fingers, stretching forward and preparing to grab them.

Bunching her legs up underneath her, Nica jumped forward, avoiding the bronze tips that flew towards her. Her tail was spiked with the sparking ‘Electro Ball’ following its magnetic pull. She landed on the Ultra Beast’s cables once more before leaping again, this time flying over the creature’s star-shaped head. A trail of electricity zipped after her.

Ace bit his bottom lip. With a sharp turn, he flew up, evading the large cables that came flying towards him. 

Pikachu leaped from Ace’s tail and started sprinting along the black limb. A memory of the time he ran on Milotic’s long body surfaced in his mind, though this time, the limb he ran on was several times larger than Milotic as a whole.

With the help of ‘Quick Attack,’ he caught up with Nica, leaving a white blur racing behind him. 

<Ready?> Nica yelled.

“Like never before,” Pikachu responded, summoning another ‘Electro Ball.’ With a firm swing, he threw it against the massive head.

Nica kept running, getting a little closer before swinging her tail, coordinating the timing of her massive orb of electricity to hit the beast’s head together with Pikachu’s ‘Electro Ball.’

Pikachu felt and saw Nica’s tail wrap around his belly, which filled him with a sense of safety. He yelped as Nica put a lot of force into her jump, pulling him away from the explosion. 

“I must admit; when it comes to jumping, you’re simply incredible!” He called, before glancing over his shoulder as his gigantic opponent was probably half a kilometer away. Her legs may be enhanced by magic, but it doesn’t make the speed and range of her jump any less impressive.

Ace’s ears flashed with power as he struck the burned head with ‘Psychic,’ causing it to tilt backward several meters, yet the Ultra Beast refused to lose its balance and stayed standing. Huffing, the Alolan Raichu levitated away from the large limb, now flying towards the sea of trees. <Hey, wait for me!>

As the trio regrouped together, now making their way towards the sea, they looked at their pursuer. The Ultra Beast was taking steps at a much faster pace than before, taking fifteen seconds with each step instead of thirty. Faster movements and bolts escaping from its body indicating either rage or hunger for electricity.

Ace’s mouth opened as he pointed at the limb which the beast raised behind its head. The tip of the gigantic cable flashed like the world’s biggest light bulb. <Tail glow!> he shouted before speeding up, grabbing both Pikachu and Nica with his paws. He levitated up, now surfing on top of the forest once more. <Run, run, run!>

The Ultra Beast bent two of its limbs and the electricity surrounding its body became stronger with each passing second. It spread two of its uncontrollably flapping arms forward while unleashing a gigantic wave of electricity, turning hundreds of trees into ash in a matter of seconds. Even the ground became scorched with the excess energy.

<We can’t outrun it!> Nica shouted before pressing her forepaws against Ace’s shoulders, freeing herself. She balanced herself on the back of Ace’s tail. <Both of you, hide behind me and press your tails into the ground!>

Ace flew towards the ground as numerous trees now blocked the view from the incoming demise.

Pikachu felt his feet touch the grass as he was released from Ace’s grab. He stood on his four paws and charged power into his tail before pressing it into the ground. His eyes narrowed and his muscles tensed. Much to his surprise, Ace took a standing position in front of him protectively before pressing the yellow part of his tail into the ground as well.

Pikachu blinked in confusion. Ace wasn’t the bravest of the bunch, but was still willing to take the hit for him. A gesture he appreciated.

Nica stood on her rear legs, taking an intercepting position in front of the group. She raised her forepaws in front of her face, summoning ‘Light Screen’ three times taller and wider than her body. She pressed her ‘Iron Tail’ deeply into the ground and clenched the bronze patches of her forepaws, awaiting the impact.

Much to everyone’s surprise, a lavender dome of magic covered them, no doubt a long-range assistance from the princess.

<Get ready, here it comes!> Nica shouted.

Pikachu bent his legs as a drop of sweat fell down his face.

The wide wave of electricity burned away any tree that got in the way, partially smashing against the protective barrier. 

The dome of magic shattered in an instant as electricity struck the empowered ‘Light Screen’ a second later.

Nica grit her teeth and than screamed in pain, nearly collapsing as wild electricity coursed through her.

Pikachu and Ace lowered themselves and covered their heads as Nica shielded them from the brunt of the attack, which went through her body into the ground.

A few seconds later small pillars of electricity shot from the ground under and around Nica’s feet, creating a massive crater.

The moment the wave of electricity passed by, Pikachu pushed himself to stand and then ran to Nica to check on her health, his eyes wide. One of the toughest pokemon he had ever met, a Raichu who could take his empowered ‘Electro Ball’ without blinking an eye, now stood on trembling legs inside a crater while covered in burns. He sniffed and grimaced, taken aback by the smell of burned fur. 

He ran into the crater and looked at Nica in pity, no, in terror. The combined might of Light Screen, magical barrier, magic which enhanced Nica’s already insane durability, natural resistance to electricity for all electric pokemon and ‘Iron Tail’ pressed into the ground, all together still not enough as Nica now looked heavily burned and in pain. 

If this ‘Discharge’ did so much damage to her… what would it do to me or Ace… Would we even s-s-survive? Pikachu’s face became pale as he struggled against the growing fear. How many wild pokemon perished to such power? I c-can only h-hope... he gulped, ...that their end was quick and painless.

<No time to rest, we need to run!> Ace shouted before placing his sister on his tail. He levitated up and surfed above the forest.

Pikachu climbed up the nearest tree, then leaped from one to another, trying to keep up with Ace’s speed. The Beast may not be all that fast, but that wave of electricity is another story. I fear even my ‘Quick Attack’ won’t outspeed it. He didn’t dare to look over his shoulder, too focused on the trees he leaped on. It takes a long time for that giant to charge an electric attack. Hope it doesn’t use another ‘Discharge’ anytime soon. 

Several seconds later, Pikachu noticed a lack of trees ahead of him, now seeing only sand and water on the horizon while noticing a familiar house on a cliff not far to the right. While they succeeded in luring the giant away from the Hau’oli City while avoiding the Iki Town, they reached Melemele Sea dangerously close to Kukui’s house.

With a firm jump, he flew towards the beach. He bent his legs and closed his eyes as sand flew around him from the impact.

<Sis, you alright? You’re not looking too great...> Ace asked, his ears drooping as he realized the full extent of Nica’s damage.

<I am! Just a few little burns,> Nica said as she stepped onto the stand, standing firmly on her burned legs. <We did some damage with a few strong critical hits, but it wasn’t enough. We need to hit back even harder.>

Pikachu nodded. I should have known better. There’s no way even a deadly attack like that can keep her down. He looked at the approaching Ultra Beast. Judging by the range and speed of its steps, I think we have two minutes before it reaches us, top three. Hope Nica’s plan works. He repeated “Pika…” over and over, creating yet another ‘Electro Ball.’ 

<Perfect, now throw it to me!> Nica commanded.

Pikachu did as he was told, throwing the orb towards Nica, who in turn empowered it and threw it towards Ace.

Pikachu looked at the alicorn, who landed on the beach while breathing heavily. Sweat covered her face. 

“I’m sorry… I tried… but…” Twilight said in between each breath. She shut her wings and lowered her head. “Powering you up weakened me and Starlight, and my magic doesn’t seem to be recovering. I wish we had more time to use the gems I brought with me to restore our reserves.”

“It’s alright,” Pikachu said before intercepting and throwing the sphere to Nica. “We can handle it.”

Starlight appeared in a flash of teleportation, landing on the sandy area with Tapu Koko by her side. “Okay, mighty guardian, do your thing.”

Tapu flew towards the sea, levitating very close to the coast. He screeched while unleashing a wide field of electricity. 

Ace grinned, now surfing on the electric waves instead. He zipped on the edges of the field, surpassing the speed of Pikachu’s ‘Quick Attack.’ <Now that’s more like it.>

Nica stood on the tip of her feet while electricity reached the middle part of her rear legs. The sphere which circled around her tail grew in size even more. <Sorry, Pikachu, but I fear that with our magic boost while on ‘Electric Terrain,’ your ‘Electro Ball’ will grow way too quickly for your tail to handle. Ace and I will strengthen it instead.>

Pikachu glanced between his short tail and the massive orb, which was already the size of a pony while still growing. “I approve.” He yelped as the sandy ground started to tremble. He stood on a single foot, struggling to maintain balance. He looked at the Ultra Beast who was almost atop of them. Two steps left before they would all stand in its shadow.

Ace sent another portion of electricity before throwing the orb towards Nica, his breathing heavy as a few drops of sweat fell down his face. 

“Rain incoming!” Dash shouted before kicking gathered clouds, causing rain to fall over the sea.

Nica balanced the orb above her tail, which grew to the size of Big Macintosh. She pointed at her brother and the guardian. <Ace, unleash your secret technique. Tapu, assist him!> She turned around. <PIkachu, I need you to…> Her eyes became wide as she pointed towards the forest. <Watch out!>

Pikachu turned around and took a step back, now looking at a thin-looking Ultra Beast from before. It charged at him from the forest as sand scattered around its fast moving legs. He stood on the tip of his rear foot before backflipping into the range of ‘Electric Terrain.’ The moment he landed on the field, it filled him with electricity and he shouted, unleashing a massively boosted ‘Thunderbolt,’ which spread across a wider area than before.

The beast dropped to four legs and ran to the side, evading the bolts of electricity.

Remembering Nica’s advice and using a bigger spread and power of his attack, he redirected his ‘Thunderbolt,’ aiming where his opponent was going to be. The beast leaped over his attack, only to get hit in mid-air and pushed away.

<Nice work!> Ace shouted encouragingly while clapping his forepaws. <Go Pikachu, go!>

<I’ll use your ‘Electro Ball’ against the giant and distract him. I’m counting on you to protect Ace and Tapu while they charge our ace,> Nica said before running towards the forest with the orb of electricity following her raised tail.

Pikachu saluted.

Ace clenched the white tips of his forepaws and shouted, <Naval!> as a gigantic wave grew from the sea, reaching a height far greater than ever before. The aura of magic was still surrounding his body, though a bit fainter than before. His ears flashed as he raised the massive amount of water upward, forming the winged draconic beast once again. He dropped to four paws as his limbs trembled, barely enduring the pressure from using so much power at once. 

Pikachu was tempted to watch, but stayed focused as he charged power into his tail before swinging it against his opponent’s ‘Silver Wind.’ The moment his tiny feet touched the sand, he felt a triple strike against his belly with great force, pushing him away. He rolled in mid-air, trying to aim his electricity at the Ultra Beast, but it was nowhere to be seen.

<S-Storm…> Ace mumbled while using ‘Nasty Plot,’ summoning a dark aura to boost his special attack even further. 

Tapu Koko screeched, sending what electricity he recovered into the levitated water.

Pikachu yelped as something struck his back from above, smashing him into the sand. Despite the magic enhancing his body, as a little creature he still found the move ‘Stomp’ to be quite painful. He pressed four paws against the sand, struggling to lift the thin leg which was pressing against his back.

“Leave him alone!” Twilight shouted before pushing away the Ultra beast with the force of her magic.

Starlight appeared next to Pikachu as her horn lit, summoning a protective barrier around the two. 

The beast charged at the barrier immediately, relentlessly striking against it with ‘Triple Kick.’ Its burned legs seemed to slow down, showing signs of weakness.

Ace grit his teeth and closed his eyes before unleashing the strongest ‘Thunderbolt’ he could muster into his creation, his attack alone powerful enough to form a gigantic pillar of electricity, clawing for the sky. 

Pikachu ignored the newly acquired bruises as the flash of light got his full attention. He glanced over his shoulder and gasped, finding the pillar of electricity created by Ace far bigger than the one he and Nica created in the fight against Buzz. Wooow… A combination of Nasty Plot, Electric Terrain and ponies’ magic with the power of an Alolan Raichu is no joke. The unleashed power was like nine of my most powerful ‘Thunderbolts’ combined… maybe even ten. If such power won’t take down that giant, nothing will.

<D-d-dragon…> Ace said before his face slammed into his own tail as sweat covered his entire body. His flashing ears trebled. With more struggle, he raised his head, trying to control his creation as a few tears slid down his cheeks, every muscle in his body begging him to stop.

“Pikachu, my defenses are breaking!” Starlight shouted as ‘Silver Wind’ caused her magical barrier to crack, the bug-type move proving devastating against her magical defenses. The Ultra Beast pierced through, going for the unicorn’s neck.

Pikachu narrowed his eyes and intercepted his opponent, striking at its belly with an empowered ‘Quick Attack.’ 

The beast pressed its four legs into the sand, leaving trails in it. It dropped to one knee as its thin limbs started to tremble.

Pikachu attacked with ‘Thunderbolt,’ forcing his opponent to jump further away.

“It seems our last fight against this creature really hurt it. It is slower and weaker than before,” Starlight commented.

“Or its defenses may be extremely weak,” Twilight commented. “I mean, look at the body-structure of this creature. It is so thin. It may be incredibly fast and powerful, but it must be very fragile as well.”

Pikachu nodded in agreement. His opponent had already received a beating before and didn’t get much time to recover. It was no match for his enhanced powers and the ponies by his side. The moment his opponent started to run away, Pikachu smiled, satisfied with the victory. 

“Nica!” Starlight shouted as she pointed at where the beast was running. “I hope I am wrong, but what if this creature is running to help the Big Bzzzz.”

Pikachu bit his bottom lip in worry before following the creature’s path. Using ‘Quick Attack’ for a boost of speed, he created a large cloud of sand behind him. He could apologize to the ponies for sending sand in their faces later, but helping Nica took first priority.

“I’m done with the rain duty! I can’t stand on the sidelines while my friends do all the fighting,” Dash shouted as she flew to Nica’s aid.

Pikachu jumped towards Rainbow Dash, grabbing her tail before climbing onto her back. He looked ahead, searching for his long-tailed friend. It didn’t surprise him to see Nica throw the large orb of electricity against the Beast’s star-shaped head, causing an explosion of electricity. He covered his head protectively, so did Dash. While his usual ‘Electro Ball’ exploded in a few meters radius, the charged one Nica threw covered fifty meters or more, enveloping the titanic Beast’s head as a whole. 

He lowered his forepaws, looking for Nica among the descending smoke. His durable friend held tightly against the Beast’s limb with her tail pressed in the free space between two gigantic cables, refusing to let the explosion, or anything for that matter, push her away. 

The red aura around the Ultra Beast shrank more and more in past minutes, only to finally vanish after that one powerful strike, leaving the giant greatly weakened. 

Nica didn’t back down, but ran at the massive head while surrounded by electricity, striking it with ‘Volt Tackle.’ She backflipped, landing on the Beast’s limb further away from its head.

Pikachu’s attention focused on two gigantic limbs which were shining with power while moving towards Nica from two sides, no doubt in an attempt to crush her in between them.

“There it is!” Dash shouted before flying towards the thin-looking bug-like Ultra Beast who was climbing the same black limb that Nica stood on.

Pikachu yelped, almost falling off his ride the moment Dash turned around to deliver a kick, his paws wrapped against the pegasus’ mane.

Dash’s kicks clashed against the Beast’s hair which covered most of its back as the thin-looking creature seemed too busy with climbing to defend. Dash’s fifth air-kick missed as the bug-like creature vanished from their sight. Her hoof harmlessly struck against the giant’s limb, which proved flexible enough to push her away. 

Upon noticing that the Beast ran towards Nica at an even greater speed, most likely after using ‘Agility,’ Pikachu jumped from Dash’s back and followed, using ‘Quick Attack’ while climbing the same limb.

Nica bent her legs, waiting for the two ‘Power Whips’ to get closer before jumping up.

The agile beast timed her jump with Nica’s while sending ‘Silver Wind’ to intercept her. 

The long-tailed pokemon shielded herself from the attack with her ‘Iron Tail,’ only to end up grabbed in a strong grip and pulled down.

Pikachu bit his bottom lip and changed the course of his ‘Quick Attack,’ now running away before he could end up sandwiched in between two gigantic limbs, the shockwave of the impact pushing him further away. His fall was stopped by two familiar hooves.

“You okay there, Pikachu?” Dash asked as she flew up with him between her forelegs.

“I’m fine, but what about Nica… oh no!” Pikachu shouted as his attention focused on two limbs the size of two buildings which released Nica from their crushing grip, only to catch her with cables serving the Beast as fingers. The other Ultra Beast fell towards the ground and crashed, unconscious after being smashed between two gigantic ‘Power Whips.’ 

Pikachu pointed at Nica and shouted, “We have to save her, hurry!” 

Dash glanced at the Naval-Storm-Dragon sent by Ace, which seemed to be twenty meters long, nearly one fifth the size of the gigantic Ultra Beast. “Ponyfeathers!” She flew towards Nica, releasing Pikachu before kicking and punching one of the Beast’s fingers.

Pikachu swung his ‘Iron Tail’ against another finger, trying to free his friend. 

Nica’s belly and forepaws were wrapped and squeezed by one cable-like finger, her rear legs by another. A third was squeezing her neck. Her tail was wrapped by a fourth. The fifth finger which was pressed against her face to drain electricity from dots on her cheeks ended up pushed away by Pikachu’s empowered ‘Iron Tail.’ One look at Nica’s painful expression and creased ears proved difficult to watch. 

<R-run! L-leave me… p-please,> Nica plead as tears of pain slid down her cheeks. The aura of pony magic no longer present around her body. 

Pikachu ran closer to his bigger friend and shook his head. “I won’t leave you!” He slammed his ‘Iron Tail’ against another of the beast’s fingers, only to realize that the magical aura which enhanced his body was gone as well. He struck again, yet his attacks proved too weak to free his friend.

Hazardous bolts of electricity started escaping from every part of the Beast’s body.

Nica grit her teeth before summoning her ‘Thunderbolt,’ striking against Pikachu while pushing him away. 

Pikachu yelped before opening his eyes, now staring at the trapped Raichu while falling towards the ground. Rainbow Dash flew towards him, catching him in mid-air. Why… why did you attack me? His question was quickly answered as a powerful portion of electricity burst from the beast’s limb, causing Nica to scream in pain. Ace’s Naval-Storm-Dragon struck against the Beast’s large head two seconds later.

Dash grit her teeth while flying away from the titanic creature with all the speed she could muster.

Pikachu watched his trapped friend in terror who ended up covered by an explosion of water and electricity from the Ace’s attack. He didn’t dare to look away from the blinding light, seeing as Nica was launched kilometers across the sea before his watering eyes finally closed against his will. It wasn’t the first time he saw someone blast away as he repeatedly sent Team Rocket packing in such a way, but seeing the nicest Raichu he ever met, face such a fate while extremely injured caused his heart to ache. 

His eyes started watering as a surge of fear overwhelmed him. The punishment his friend endured could kill most pokemon twice over. What if she didn’t have enough strength to swim? What if she drowned in the sea? Crashing into the hard ground would no doubt be a blessing to drowning in soft water.

“Nicaaa!” he shouted from the bottom of his lungs before bursting into tears. He felt his throat become dry and heavy as guilt weighed on his heart. 

Ever since he befriended Nica, she didn’t hesitate to rush to his aid, protecting him from many dangers. Whenever in trouble, the superior Raichu helped him without fail by distracting his opponents or by taking the hit for him. This time however the roles were reversed. Nica ended up trapped, injured and in peril. But did he save her? Did he repay the favor? Did he prove to be a dependable partner and friend? No! He screwed up when it mattered the most. 





Ace, who lay flat on his tail, pushed himself to standing position, his trembling rear legs struggling to keep him stable. <S-sister… I’m coming!> Without a second thought, he surfed to where Nica was heading, ignoring the tremor caused by the crashing giant.

He blinked as electric field formed under his tail, only to notice Tapu flying by his side. <Thanks... Your help… won’t go to waste,> he said between his heavy breathing before using ‘Electric Terrain’ for an initial boost of speed. His muscles burned and his body was in pain from using such an overwhelming amount of power at once while a magical aura no longer surrounded his body, but he didn’t care. He levitated with all speed he could muster, leaving even the mighty Tapu behind. Saving his sister from drowning was the only thing on his tired mind.
