Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Chapter 1060 1060: Croconaw and Quilava's Beastly Tribulation - Evolution!

Quilava blurred across the scorched ground, breathing fire.

This was his field.

This was his moment.

Across timelines, fighting different magical creatures, Characters, and Contestants, Quilava had come to know his flames.

Flames…

They didn't discriminate.

They didn't care for friend or foe.

They couldn't care less about the number of enemies and their defenses.

All flames knew was how to burn everything, reducing it to ashes.

And that was what he was…

His Master had told him many times.

To be a cut above the rest, to decimate the enemies who stood against him, and to make sure that he survived to live another day… to get stronger!

Quilava must act like flames.

Quilava must be the flames.

A screech of defiance left the Pokemon's mouth as he saw swarms of beasts, each uglier than the last, each wilder than the last, but equally strong, coming for him from all directions.

A faint layer of flames began covering Quilava's body.

Then, picking up speed, the Pokemon jumped, curling his body, becoming a wheel of fiery destruction — Flaming Wheel!

Roars of agony filled the space wherever Quilava's body passed.

There was so much anger within him at this moment that he had literally gained an edge, the blade itself made of flames.

Even before Quilava's hissing body could strike a target, the mutated beasts were cut apart, both parts lighting up in flames and burning to ashes.

Quilava traced a circular arc and landed back on the ashy land, burning his foes alive.

But…

His tribulation had only begun.

The moment the flames covering Quilava's body receded, one of the mutated beasts, looking like a Velociraptor but with a scaly body, appeared next to him.

The beast had come so fast that it had torn through a few of its own brethren with its massive claws, as if… it had been waiting for him to appear here.

Quilava, who hadn't even taken one breath, could do nothing but put his hands up.

A bloody squelch rang as the C+ Grade Pokemon was sent flying, rolling, and bouncing, his arms bearing massive scars.

Quilava refused to lie down, though.

Using his insane agility, he flicked back to his feet, breathing out fire again.

Sadly, the beasts attacking him numbered in the tens of thousands, and they did not need to think before continuing to attack him.

Waves of beasts, hundreds in number, gurgled from all directions, shadowing the thundering, burning sky.

Then, they fell right over Quilava, burying him underneath!

…

Croconaw grabbed a beast's face and ripped it open with his claws.

A massive T. Rex, with a crocodile's mouth, lunged at him from above, trying to end his tale in one bite.

That was a mistake.

Before the T. Rex could even close its mouth, the Pokemon jumped right into it, clawing its way into the beast's stomach. Roars of pain filled the space as the dinosaur growled, Croconaw mutilating it from within. Then, using a Hydro Pump, the Pokemon came tearing out of the T. Rex, drenched in blood.

From the corner of his eye, hundreds of meters away, Croconaw saw Quilava getting buried by the beasts.

He wouldn't go to help, though.

There was no place for the weak among the White Serpent Pirates, he had learned.

If Quilava couldn't even survive these weaklings, then it was better he died here, Croconaw believed.

An ashy, scorched land?

Quilava wouldn't find a better grave for himself.

A few of the mutated beasts tried to take advantage of Croconaw's broken breath.

Suddenly, his breathing smoothed, the Pokemon's mouth opening with a smirk.

All of his teeth gained an ice-blue color. Then, using Ice Fang, Croconaw threw himself toward them, biting through their faces, freezing every last one of them.

When he appeared behind them, though, he found he had been tricked, just like he had tricked them with his panting.

The first wave was to make him use a Move; to make him feel he was winning.

The second wave… of thousands of beasts… was to make him lose hope.

Croconaw instantly knew that the enemies wanted to bury him under hundreds of tons of weight, just as they had done to Quilava.

And that… didn't sit right with him.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A light blue aura covered Croconaw, his single eye glowing red.

His arms bulged, his feet dug into the ground, and the red spikes on his spine stood at their roots.

Come! Croconaw roared, laughing, using Superpower. Bastards!

And, as the beasts blackened the sky for him as well, the Pokemon lifted his hands, as if he wanted to lift the entire weight of the world by himself!

…

Matatabi growled as she swatted hundreds of mutated beasts with one paw, her other paws flattening the breath of even more.

She was not a a few dozen meters-large beast anymore.

As her Master had gone to take charge of the Origamis, Matatabi had assumed her full size.

Now, she was as tall as the three-headed dragon she had seen before; the dragon that had rained lightning, bringing a storm with it.

There would be no beast waves daring to bury her in this place, as they had done with Quilava and Croconaw.

"ROAR!" Matatabi let out a shockwave, imbuing it with Mana and Breath.

With a BOOM, everything in that direction, for a mile, instantly disintegrated.

Flying abominations fell from above then, uncountable in number, as if that would give them an upper hand over her.

Matatabi took a deep breath.

The black swirls on her body squirmed, rotating faster and faster.

Suddenly, as if a high-pressure valve had broken, the blue flames making up her body erupted, covering the sky and the land.

Dead bodies rained from the sky, indistinguishable from raindrops, becoming one with the ocean of corpses on the land.

The madness in Matatabi's eyes rose even more.

She knew her origins better than anyone!

"I am a Tailed Beast!" Matatabi hissed, gathering several tiny Tailed Beast Bombs at the tip of her mouth. "Not like those two weaklings that my Master keeps as pets…"

Silence.

Something changed in that moment.

It was like Matatabi's words had struck… a nerve.

And, just as she fired the tiny Tailed Beast Bombs, draping the entire world in mini nuclear-like explosions, a geyser of lava and water shot up toward the sky, tearing through thousands of beasts…

… the two buried Pokemon shining with a blinding white radiance underneath!
