"Wuuu, wuuu, wuuu——"
After a half-hour-long clash, the unwilling roars of five giant dragons echoed over the skies of Couriway Town.
During the fall, the hundred-meter-tall Eternatus silently withered, reverting to its usual state of around twenty meters upon landing.
Thump!
Bewear closely followed, landing next to Su Sheng.
It stumbled noticeably upon landing, but thankfully, the henpecked husband, Zamazenta, promptly stepped forward, acting as a cushion for his wife.
"This is truly impressive."
Su Sheng helped Bewear sit down, observing the injuries all over its body, struggling to recall the last time Bewear had faced an opponent that inflicted such severe damage.
Previously, Su Sheng had mentioned that there were no more than three Legendaries who could reliably defeat Zacian.
And to speak of one who could reliably defeat Eternamax Eternatus, there was probably only one.
Even his own Bewear had to rely on the Sword and Shield duo for support to take it down.
Whoosh!
Just as Su Sheng waved at Hoopa, preparing for the little one to summon a healer to aid Bewear, Zacian, with the Rusted Sword in its jaws, suddenly charged towards the fallen Eternatus.
Rose and Leon, who were near Eternatus, were startled.
They wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and they could only watch as the sharp, cold blade got closer and closer to Eternatus's throat.
In the nick of time, a golden ring appeared out of thin air between the dragon and the dog.
Zacian didn't have time to brake and was sucked into it.
The next moment, it jumped out of the golden ring above Hoopa's head, between Sonia and Nessa.
[What are you doing!?]
The landed Sword King, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, angrily scolded the two best friends with telepathy.
In terms of combat power, an angry Mythical Pokémon that could rank in the top five of the Legendaries scared Sonia and Nessa into a stumble.
Hoopa buried its face directly into Sonia's arms.
Mew raised an eyebrow.
Trying to steal my bed, huh!?
"Calm down, Zacian."
Su Sheng walked up with a smile, holding Sonia and Nessa's hands on either side, instantly calming them down.
"Eternatus can't Eternamax for a short period, and its nature isn't that bad; it just eats a lot."
Zacian subconsciously wanted to refute.
Only to hear Su Sheng continue: "The current Eternatus doesn't have such a large appetite anymore. As long as it doesn't Eternamax, it probably only eats as much as a few Snorlax. Chairman Rose and Leon can totally afford to feed it. Just let it off the hook."
There weren't many Legendary Pokémon that were hostile to humans, and among them, the ones with higher combat power were Yveltal, Eternatus, and Necrozma.
But in reality, besides Yveltal being a naturally evil and crazy character,
The latter two were actually quite reasonable.
Necrozma was originally a Guardian of Light, but it went berserk because humans stole its power, causing it great pain.
As for Eternatus, it was purely because it had a huge appetite. As an energy eater, it devoured almost all of Galar's energy 3,000 years ago.
This forced Zacian and Zamazenta to take action.
After that battle, Eternatus was beaten into a battle-damaged form by the siblings.
Although its power was greatly weakened and its body became much smaller,
In another sense, it was a blessing in disguise.
Its appetite became smaller, and it didn't need to frantically absorb energy to satisfy its appetite like before.
Although a 20-meter body length was still exaggerated,
As Su Sheng said, the Eternatus in this state would eat at most the total amount of a few Snorlax.
Ordinary trainers couldn't afford to feed it, but how could a logistics combination like Rose + Leon possibly starve it?
[Sis... Sister, what A Sheng said seems to make sense?]
Zamazenta interjected.
Zacian coldly glanced at him, scaring Zamazenta into quickly lowering his head.
Su Sheng continued: "Moreover, Eternatus can't Eternamax again for a short time and is no match for you. If something really happens, you can just kill it then."
What Su Sheng said was actually true.
In a one-on-one mode, Eternamax Eternatus could indeed steadily suppress Zacian.
But if it was in its current normal mode, Zacian could completely beat the Poison Dragon to a pulp.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the attributes of both sides.
Lying on the ground, Eternatus, opening its white, beady eyes, subconsciously wanted to refute.
But its desire to survive still made it obediently shut its mouth.
"She agreed."
Su Sheng turned his head and said to Rose and Leon.
Having known each other for several years, Su Sheng also understood Zacian's character quite well.
Silence meant consent.
"Grateful."
Rose bowed slightly to Su Sheng to express his gratitude.
After simping for so many years, he finally got a reward.
"Congratulations, brother!"
Kabu, who was responsible for evacuating the citizens, also rushed over at this time, patting his buddy's shoulder and laughing.
Leon, who possessed Eternatus, was fully qualified to compete for the "World's Third Trainer" throne.
But the next second, Kabu noticed something was wrong.
Because Leon was spacing out here without reacting.
Following Leon's gaze, he found that this guy was staring straight at Sonia, who was being held by Su Sheng.
Leon, Kabu, Sonia, and Nessa.
These four had traveled together in their youth and were relatively familiar with each other.
If following the Japanese manga model, the grown-up storyline would be Leon and Sonia as a couple, and Kabu and Nessa as a couple.
However, completely contrary to expectations, Leon's mind was all on battling, and Kabu's mind was all on Leon.
As for the situation of the two best friends, everyone knew it. Sonia didn't need to be mentioned.
Nessa was even not very familiar with Kabu.
According to the routine, she should at least regard Kabu as a rival.
However, in the original story, Nessa regarded Milo as a rival.
As for the reason, tsk... let's save some face for the girl.
Seeing Sonia again after nearly two years, Kabu was also stunned.
Since being with Su Sheng, Sonia's figure had become increasingly plump, and her dress had become increasingly mature.
A beige coat plus pencil pants that tightly wrapped her long, fleshy legs gave her a bit of the flavor of a young married woman.
And the Hatsune Miku-colored sweater inside couldn't hide the combat power comparable to Lorelei's.
Damn, is this Sonia?
No wonder the Lumiose City newspaper always suspected she was pregnant.
"Go quickly!"
Rose, realizing what was happening, kicked Leon in the butt.
Rose had always been very tolerant of Leon, but this time was different.
What are you looking at? Is that something you can look at?
"Dr. Su Sheng, will you participate in Chairman Dahlia's operation to exterminate Team Plasma?"
Rose quickly changed the subject.
Su Sheng smiled and said: "I don't need to go, right? With Lance, who has Kyurem, and Leon, who has Eternatus, how can you possibly lose to the mere remnants of Team Plasma?"
Rose nodded in agreement, "Chairman Dahlia publicly stated that this operation will be broadcast live, obviously wanting to show the world the power of Lance and his Kyurem! Humph! Does she think there's no one in Galar? It's a good opportunity to let them see Leon's new power!"
Su Sheng:……
Chairman Rose really wants to compete with the Indigo League in everything.
Not far away, Leon had already caught Eternatus with a Master Ball.
"Chairman Rose, then we'll leave first."
Su Sheng glanced at the chaotic Motostoke and said.
Forget it, he'll call a healer to heal Bewear when they get back to Alola. It's too chaotic here.
Rose nodded and said a few polite words, watching Su Sheng's family enter the warp gate.
Looking at the golden ring that gradually became transparent and eventually completely disappeared, Leon was silent for a long time, with no joy on his face from catching a top-tier Legendary.
Kabu bumped his good brother's shoulder, "What's wrong? Regretting it now?"
"I, I didn't, I didn't!"
Leon shuddered and waved his hands repeatedly.
Rose rarely said in a stern tone: "Leon, you need to know the principle that 'missed is missed'."
"...Chairman, I understand."
Leon forced a smile.
……
……
Back in Alola, Su Sheng's family began their dinner.
To celebrate Sonia's first victory in the Grand Festival, everyone specially held a grand banquet in the Aether Paradise's square.
In addition to Sonia's victory, Chairman Dahlia's planned extermination of Team Plasma in the near future was also a hot topic of discussion.
"Team Plasma's strength is pretty good, but N has been locked up, and Zekrom has been absorbed. Now, Lance and Leon, these two top champions, each possess a top-tier Legendary. No matter how you think about it, the League can't possibly lose. No wonder Grandpa Dahlia chose to broadcast this operation live. It's obvious that he wants to show off the League's current power."
Blue said, holding a glass of red wine.
But before she could take a sip, Cynthia snatched it away, "It's still ten years too early for a kid to drink this."
Blue pouted unhappily, deciding to find some trouble for Cynthia.
"Joker-san, how will our Team Rocket act?"
Some time ago, Su Sheng found an opportunity to tell Blue about this.
Blue was scared half to death at the time, but after this period of time, she gradually recovered.
Sure enough, hearing this, Cynthia's expression immediately changed.
The League and a large criminal organization were at war, and then Team Rocket reaped the benefits.
Isn't this the plot that already happened in the Indigo Plateau a few years ago?
"Boss Giovanni plans to pick up some scraps. After all, Team Plasma has a lot of talent, and many people within Team Plasma aren't of one mind."
Su Sheng responded.
Team Plasma's situation is actually quite special.
The members inside can basically be divided into two categories.
One category is loyal to N, or rather, recognizes N's philosophy, believing that Pokémon and humans should be separated.
The second category is loyal to Ghetsis, or rather, agrees with Ghetsis's ambitions, just using the guise of "liberating Pokémon" to actually pursue profits like Team Rocket, simply being villains who pursue profits.
Giovanni felt that the second type of people could be used for his own purposes.
Because these people were originally villains who pursued money, power, and strength.
What Team Plasma can give, my Team Rocket can give even more!
And the Dark Scientist Colress belongs to this type of person.
He has no loyalty to Team Plasma at all.
It's just that Team Plasma can provide him with experimental funds and materials, which is why he cooperated with them.
Giovanni felt that he could pry this person over.
"If we don't go, Team Rocket might not really be able to win against the League. But Silver's dad hates the Dodrio very much. If he goes to Unova, he probably still has to fight a battle."
Blue thought of something and said: "I'll go take a look too. No matter if Giovanni or Mr. Lance dies, Silver will be sad. Tsk, that kid is really pitiful..."
Mentioning this topic, everyone became interested.
Now, the situation of Silver, Giovanni, and Lance is quite delicate.
During the Indigo Conference before, Giovanni was prepared to kill Lance, but he was forced to stop because of Silver's obstruction.
And in these six months, Giovanni has had many opportunities to clean up Lance, but Giovanni also knows that if he really does that, his son, whose relationship with him has just been repaired, will definitely break with him again.
Lance also wants to kill Giovanni, but he probably won't care too much about Silver's feelings.
And the most pitiful one is Silver, who is caught in the middle.
"If the League's two major forces go to Unova, will it be too late to stop other criminal organizations if they take action? Like Team Galactic..."
The tired Cynthia couldn't care so much and felt that it was good enough if she could protect her hometown.
After the battle at the Celestic Town ruins last time, Cyrus said that "everything is ready," presumably he will take action in the near future.
And the League is currently focusing all its attention on Team Plasma, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Team Galactic.
Will said: "There's nothing to worry about with Team Galactic, right? With your current strength, if you can still lose to Cyrus, you might as well retire and raise children. At least you won't let your children starve to death."
Cynthia rolled her eyes fiercely, gripping the plate tightly and resisting the urge to smash it on Will's head.
She finally understood why she often saw Lorelei chasing after Will to beat him. This bastard's mouth is too cheap.
However, before Cynthia could act, Lorelei had already kicked Will in the butt from behind.
She had already heard that this guy was making veiled accusations.
The combat power there in Cynthia's place, although not as explosive as Sonia and Lorelei's, is indeed much stronger than her own.
The banquet continued until after 10 pm.
Will, who had drunk a lot, was lying in his Jynx's arms.
"Hey! Let's strip this guy naked and throw him on the street?"
Lorelei turned her head and said to Cynthia.
This may be the first time Lorelei has taken the initiative to talk to her.
"This... is that okay?"
Candice's heart is still quite kind.
There are so many tourists in Alola. What if they encounter someone with special hobbies? She's afraid that tomorrow a photo of Will rolling his eyes, sticking out his tongue, and making a peace sign will make the headlines...
"Then let's change the place."
Lorelei wickedly curled the corners of her mouth.
It was almost noon the next day when Su Sheng got up and went downstairs.
"That bastard Lorelei threw me into a moving company in Hoenn! It's full of Machops and Machokes!"
Just as he entered the living room, Will ran over and yelled at him.
When he opened his eyes this morning, a group of Machops and Machokes were hugging him, naked. That scene left an unforgettable psychological trauma on Will.
Su Sheng smiled and picked up the newspaper.
To his surprise, the headline of Kanto's 'Goldenrod Daily' actually featured a photo of Leon, with the title 'The Three Greatest Powers of the Pokémon League'.
The 'Goldenrod Daily' wrote: 'Following Mr. Lance, the Champion of the Indigo League, gaining the recognition of the strongest dragon, Kyurem, we have learned that Champion Leon of the Galar League has also captured the legendary Pokémon Eternatus from 3000 years ago. Together with Dr. Su Sheng, these three strongest powers of the League will lead the League into a new era. At the same time, Chairman Goodshow has issued a decision to carry out a full-scale annihilation operation against Team Plasma in a week. Champion Lance and Champion Leon will personally take part in this operation, which will be broadcast live, allowing everyone on the Pokémon continent to witness this historic moment.'
