“Ready to go.”
Su Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly upon receiving Satch's message, with no surprise in his tone.
It was expected that Team Galactic would take action during this period when the League's attention was focused on Team Plasma.
“Lazy cat, time to work.”
Dream, who was leaning on the sofa and playing this year's League Game of the Year, 'Black Myth: Wukong,' reluctantly put down the controller.
It flew and perched on Su Sheng's head.
The figures of the group suddenly turned into a streak of light, flashing to the Manalo Stadium, only a few nautical miles away from Aether Paradise.
At this moment, Dialga and Palkia, who were forcibly summoned by Hoopa last week, were lying here sleeping.
When Su Sheng and his party arrived with Dream's teleportation.
Two twisted, chaotic portals appeared out of thin air above the heads of the Temporal-Spatial duo, forcibly absorbing them.
“Roar!?”
Dialga and Palkia, who couldn't stand each other, now had expressions of disbelief.
They subconsciously wanted to resist, but in the next second, they realized.
This power seemed to have an innate restraining force, like Wood Style against Tailed Beasts.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't resist this suction.
“This is!?”
Cynthia's beautiful eyes contracted sharply.
Su Sheng calmly explained, “The power of the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb.”
Reminded by Su Sheng, Cynthia suddenly woke up, “Team Galactic's snatching of the artifacts was for this!?”
According to the information sent back by the Sinnoh League, the three artifacts of the Sinnoh region—the Adamant Orb, the Lustrous Orb, and the Spear Key—had been seized by Team Galactic.
And these three artifacts are indispensable for forcibly summoning the Temporal-Spatial duo.
In fact, Cyrus originally wanted to directly capture Sheena.
Unfortunately, after suffering losses in this regard twice, the League placed bodyguards around Sheena at all times.
Even when she went to the toilet, they had to send a Champion-level powerhouse to wait outside the door.
Under such circumstances, Cyrus could only use the old method as in the anime.
“The Adamant Orb, the Lustrous Orb, plus the Spear Key, can forcibly summon the Temporal-Spatial duo on Mount Coronet in Sinnoh, no matter where they are.”
Su Sheng explained to the women.
As the voice fell, the Temporal-Spatial duo had been completely swallowed by the chaotic portals, as if they had never existed.
“But even if they are forcibly summoned, Cyrus can't control them, right?”
Lihua thought of another question.
Just like Hoopa's ability.
Although it can also forcibly summon mythical beasts, that little thing only dares to summon Latias and Latios, or Celebi, who have better tempers and are willing to help.
This type of legend is relatively weak.
And if you want to summon powerful legends, these hot-tempered ones often won't help.
Dialga and Palkia belong to this category.
Unless you can have the ability to control their minds like Hoopa Unbound.
“You'll know when you get to the scene.”
Su Sheng patted the butt of the lazy cat sleeping on his head, while raising his hand to hold Cynthia's right hand.
Cynthia also held hands with Xijiana, Lihua, and others.
The group once again turned into a streak of light and disappeared in place.
The scene in front of them spun around, and Cynthia, as a Sinnoh native, found herself at the Spear Pillar ruins at the summit of Mount Coronet.
Legend has it that Arceus created the three Sinnoh dragons, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, here.
“That is!?”
Cynthia's expression changed again.
Dialga and Palkia were in pain, as if acupunctured, fixed in place a hundred meters above the Spear Pillar ruins.
On the waists of the two gods were Arceus Rings extremely similar to their old father's.
Only they were pure red.
After a brief struggle, the painful Temporal-Spatial duo gradually calmed down.
Only their eyes were dull, as if they were soulless puppets.
“Cyrus, what did you do to them!?”
Cynthia took a step forward in anger, shouting at Cyrus, who was standing at the lower end of the duo and leading a group of Team Galactic members.
Except for Cyrus, everyone in Team Galactic's expression changed drastically, turning their heads to look.
Cyrus still maintained his standing posture with his back to Cynthia, full of composure:
“Now everything is about to end, and everything will begin. Dialga, the legendary Pokémon who controls time, and Palkia, the legendary Pokémon who governs space, will destroy everything and turn the current world into the ultimate world I expect!”
Cyrus opened his hands high, suddenly raising his voice to the extreme, “Then, I will become the god of that world!!”
Listening to Cyrus's declaration full of chuunibyou, Sonia tugged at Su Sheng's clothes and asked in a low voice, “What is he saying?”
“Don't try to understand the thoughts of a psychopath.”
Su Sheng now wanted to be possessed by Captain Kirk and ask Cyrus, “Who understands what you're saying?”
There are many villains in the Pokémon world who are dissatisfied with the existing world and want to create a new world.
Flannery, who was killed before, and there were two in Hoenn.
It's just that Flannery had seen many ugly humans who he thought were not worthy of “living,” so he wanted to use the ultimate weapon to create an eternally beautiful world.
Maxie and Archie just wanted to expand the area of land and sea.
Although these reasons are nonsense, they are barely justifiable.
Su Sheng completely didn't understand Cyrus's so-called “the human heart is an imperfect thing, so we must eliminate the current world and create a perfect new world” reason.
I know all these words, but I can't understand them when they are put together.
“In short, kill him quickly.”
Su Sheng found a relatively flat rock in the ruins and sat down, reopening his phone to watch the battle on Unova's side.
Well, Elder Darmach is betting all his treasures on this battle.
“As expected, Su Sheng is here too.”
Hearing Su Sheng's words, Cyrus finally turned around.
“I don't need to win against you, I just need to delay until Dialga and Palkia destroy this world.”
He also paid attention to the battle between the League and Team Plasma. When he saw that Su Sheng and Cynthia did not appear on the Unova battlefield, he guessed that these two would come to him.
But the Dialga and Palkia overhead still gave our boss Cyrus a lot of confidence.
More importantly, his purpose is not to defeat Su Sheng, as long as he can hold on until the Temporal-Spatial duo destroys the time and space order of the existing world.
Cyrus suddenly raised his head and issued an instruction in a low voice: “Palkia, Hydro Pump!”
Above Cyrus's head, Palkia, bound by the red “Arceus Rings” and with dull eyes, suddenly twisted its neck.
The Hydro Pump that broke through the air arrived in front of Su Sheng in an instant.
Su Sheng, who was looking down at his phone, didn't even raise his head, didn't dodge, and didn't have the slightest intention to resist.
At the last moment, a Nero-style ghost hand appeared, blocking in front of Su Sheng.
“Who is that woman!?” Saturn shouted, looking at Xijiana blocking in front of Su Sheng.
“Uh…”
Xijiana gritted her teeth, the powerful Hydro Pump attack pressed her feet into the ground by more than ten centimeters.
“Drink!”
Xijiana shouted, forcibly changing the Hydro Pump attack trajectory.
Making it fly out almost grazing the hair beside Su Sheng's ear, smashing the top of a small mountain behind into powder.
“Huff… Huff… Huff…”
Xijiana gasped.
Everyone in Team Galactic showed a ghostly expression.
Who is that wild girl with dragon hands and dragon feet?
And did she just block Palkia's attack?
“Garchomp! Dragon Rush!”
Cynthia followed closely, immediately sending out her trump card.
The Garchomp jumping out of the ball had not yet landed, and the light of the cyan flame of killing intent gushed out from the body, turning into a roaring cyan flying dragon, rushing towards Cyrus.
A hint of surprise flashed across Cyrus's poker face, the power of Garchomp's attack was not the same level as when he fought at the Celestic Town ruins last time.
But… the Pokémon he holds now are also not the same level as the last time.
“Dialga, Protect!”
The huge translucent barrier almost protected the entire Spear Pillar ruins.
No matter how much Garchomp has strengthened during this period, it cannot break through this barrier created by the top legend.
“Dragon Pulse!”
A hint of killing intent flashed in Dialga's dull eyes.
The deep blue dragon spiral shock wave gushed out directly from the depths of the throat, almost chasing after Garchomp at the moment when the barrier's rebound force knocked Garchomp away.
“Flamethrower!”
Cynthia unexpectedly let Garchomp, who is not good at special attacks, use Flamethrower as a special attack.
The flames gushing out from the Desert Tyrant's mouth met the Dragon Pulse.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Flamethrower spread directly.
But just in the less than a second that the Flamethrower resisted.
Garchomp, who was knocked away, had stepped on a broken pillar of the ruins behind with both feet.
The knees were slightly bent, jumping up like a spring.
Avoiding the attack at the last moment.
“Being able to fight back and forth with two top legends, Cynthia and Xijiana have grown a lot during this period of cultivation.”
Sonia exclaimed, then worriedly said: “But I haven't found a good opportunity to counterattack, don't you help them? A Sheng.”
Although Cynthia and Xijiana have temporarily blocked the continuous attacks of the Temporal-Spatial duo, it seems to be limited to this.
After a few rounds of fighting, neither Cynthia's Garchomp nor Xijiana.
I can't find a chance to counterattack at all.
“Idiot, didn't you see the flaws of Dialga and Palkia?”
Lihua glanced at Sonia obliquely.
When she noticed the other party's plump figure that even the thick sweater could hardly cover, the corners of her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
“Flaw?”
A question mark popped up on Sonia's head.
Xijiana was running fast in the ruins, and Palkia kept bombarding with exclusive dragon-type skills and water-type skills.
But Xijiana has not been hit.
And when Xijiana rushed to the bottom of Palkia, the spatial god's turning direction was extremely stiff.
In one-to-one no mistake version!
And Xijiana took advantage of this gap to jump up, and the dragon claws bursting with cyan light scratched on the chest of the spatial god.
Leaving four claw marks that are not serious, but extremely obvious!
On the other side, Cynthia, who had originally taken out her lipstick and was about to press the keystone embedded on it, also stopped her movements, waved her hand and ordered Garchomp to dodge Dialga's attack, and then successfully hit the left front foot of the time god with a “Brick Break” from inside.
“Dialga and Palkia are moving so slowly!”
Sonia and Luliana both saw the problem of the Temporal-Spatial duo.
“That thing is called the Red Chain, which is made by Team Galactic using the genes of the 'Lake Trio'. With that, you can control the thoughts of Dialga and Palkia, but it also restricts their movements.”
Su Sheng finally raised his head slightly at this time, glanced at the Temporal-Spatial duo whose movements were as slow as turtles.
What Cyrus did to the Temporal-Spatial duo was exactly the same as what Hoopa Unbound did in Lumiose City.
They were all forcibly summoned and then forcibly manipulated.
But compared to Hoopa Unbound, Cyrus's method of controlling with the Red Chain can be called the beggar version of the beggar version.
Although Hoopa Unbound also turned the summoned mythical beast into a soulless puppet.
But people didn't weaken the legend into a waste that turns around like an aircraft carrier.
Now Dialga and Palkia can exert 30% of their strength, it feels like it's the limit.
Compared to the child's play battle here, Su Sheng is more concerned about the situation on Unova's side.
……
……
Unova Lacunosa Town battlefield.
“Everyone is not allowed to interfere! I want to personally send this guy to prison and end all the grievances so far!”
Lance shouted, suddenly taking out a deep black “Poké Ball” from his back waist.
“That's a Tera Orb!?”
Lillie, Gladion, and many Paldea trainers who were studying at Paldea's Naranja Academy and also turned on the TV shouted in unison.
Instantly, the Tera Orb in Lance's hand burst into a dazzling starlight.
The next second, Lance jumped up and smashed the Tera Orb bursting with crystal light at the back of the huge Dragonite.
The shining light attached to the body that was comparable to a small mountain, and a huge diamond-shaped crystal also appeared on the head of the huge Dragonite wearing a crystal light armor.
“Normal type Terastallization?”
Aoki, the Gym Leader and Elite Four of Alfornada in the Paldea region, squinted his eyes.
“Extreme Speed!”
Lance shouted.
The normal Terastallized huge Dragonite roared, swooping down to hit that strange Pokémon covered in iron armor.
The faces of many elite trainers in the Paldea region in front of the TV changed slightly.
Normal type Terastallization plus Extreme Speed.
The power of this combination is self-evident.
“Payback!”
Giovanni immediately let the armored Dark Mewtwo counterattack.
The dark evil energy erupted on Dark Mewtwo's right arm.
The moment he punched, a sonic boom was emitted, hitting the super-large Dragonite, which was more than a hundred times its size.
Under the aftermath, the surrounding land and turf were lifted, and then instantly torn apart in the strong airflow.
And people in the distance can clearly see that the armor on Dark Mewtwo is rapidly shattering.
Lance, who jumped to the back of the giant Dragonite No. 2, sneered: “Still wearing armor to pretend, no matter how much that dress can strengthen, it won't work in front of me!”
“As expected of Champion Lance.”
Wallace sighed in admiration.
Although he didn't particularly like the other man's personality, winning this war still depended on him and Leon.
"No, that's not right!"
Leon suddenly realized something was wrong.
It wasn't just Leon; other champions on the scene and many elite trainers in front of the television, such as Red and Steven Stone, had also noticed the problem—even though the armor was constantly breaking, Dark Mewtwo's move power was continuously increasing!
Rumble!
The battlefield trembled violently, and smoke soared into the sky.
A gigantic Dragonite staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
And just as this super-powered Dragonite stabilized itself in less than two seconds,
Dark Mewtwo, with most of its armor shattered, leaving only a piece of chest armor, suddenly appeared in front of it.
"Psycho Break!"
Giovanni issued the command again.
Dark Mewtwo raised its hand and used psychic power to condense a giant spoon.
Like Kaido's spiked club, it slammed heavily into the side of the giant Dragonite's face.
The giant Dragonite was immediately sent sprawling, face-planting inelegantly to the ground.
Under the incredulous gaze of billions of viewers, Giovanni walked out of the smoke, sneering:
"You say this armor is used to enhance Mewtwo's power? How laughable. Let me tell you, the armor is used to restrain Mewtwo's power. By reducing his power and then training him, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort. And when the armor is removed, that's when he truly displays his abilities, you fool!"
Leon on the periphery frowned, a strong sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
However, just as Leon took a step forward, Lance shouted sharply, "I said, no one is allowed to interfere!"
Leon's expression froze, and he subconsciously stopped moving forward.
Giovanni's smile became even more unrestrained.
He had long guessed that with Lance's personality, he would definitely challenge him one-on-one.
Otherwise, how could he have dared to come to such a dangerous battlefield alone, without Su Sheng or even bringing many of his subordinates?
"It's coming..."
Blue licked his dry lips.
"What?"
Red looked at his buddy.
"You'll see. It's probably the strongest Pokémon in the world right now."
Blue took a shallow breath.
Red turned his gaze back to the television.
He saw Lance had recalled the injured giant Dragonite, raised one hand high, and shouted, "Come on! Kyurem!"
Along with the Dragon Master's shout,
Even through the screen, people all over the world could feel that destructive, ultimate power.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Hiwada City, which was in summer, no, half of Unova, turned into a world of white snow.
In the white sky, a silver-white Ice Dragon slowly descended, gradually landing above Lance's head.
The ferocious and terrifying golden eyes made people feel despair at just one glance.
Complete Kyurem!
Or rather... the Dragon of Ideals!
And the next second, the silver-white Kyurem and the dark-black Dark Mewtwo faced each other.
Their colors were completely opposite existences.
Kyurem suddenly moved its pupils.
Suddenly, in a gap that human eyes couldn't capture,
A giant ice pillar that pierced the sky and the earth had appeared in front of Giovanni.
And his Dark Mewtwo was being frozen in its center.
"What!?"
Ash jumped up from the sofa.
Not to mention him, even his older brother's expression changed drastically.
Wh-when did that happen!?
"D-did the camera not keep up?"
Misty from the Cerulean Gym almost glued her eyeballs to the screen.
But even champions like Wallace, Lucian, and Diantha, who were on the scene, were dumbfounded.
T-too fast. When did it attack?
Clap~ Clap~ Clap~
Just then, applause sounded.
Looking in the direction of the applause, everyone was shocked to find that the person applauding was Giovanni.
Giovanni praised, "Beautiful. As expected of the true Dragon of Ideals in its complete form."
"Heh~ Finally recognizing reality when you're about to die?"
Lance sneered.
"Unfortunately, it followed a fool."
Giovanni muttered to himself and then let out a sigh, then, under the incredible gaze of the world, he raised his hand and pressed the keystone brooch on his chest.
"Dark Mewtwo, Mega Evolve!"
