The actions of the Champions from various countries not only moved Julian but also moved people around the world to tears.
Meanwhile, the armed forces from all nations were already rushing toward Babath.
Drakoria alone had dispatched three Champions, including John, while Champion William headed toward the Sky Altar.
If the situation truly devolved into the worst-case scenario, Champion William would summon Rayquaza through the Sky Altar.
As for why John wasn't the one at the Sky Altar this time, the reason was simple—he wanted to go to Babath.
With his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all in Babath, it was impossible for him to stay at the Sky Altar.
Even though John had always had great confidence in Julian, he couldn't help but worry now.
The First-class Legendary Yveltal had already appeared, and the entire nation of Babath was saturated with death energy, cutting off Julian's means of summoning Kyogre.
Under such circumstances, how could John not be worried?
In front of the television, Henry stared intently at the screen, his eyes red. Beside him, his pregnant wife, Alice, seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
She didn't know how to comfort her husband.
Just moments ago, John had called, speaking to Henry as if delivering his final wishes, leaving Henry unable to calm down for a long time.
At the scene—
Facing the fifteen Champions standing before him, along with his own father, Julian remained silent.
"Metagross, we're going all out today."
Jake looked at Metagross beside him. His tone was calm, as if he felt none of the crisis or gravity one would expect when facing a First-class Legendary.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate—he would exert every effort to create a chance for his son, his wife, and Love to survive.
Why?
Because he was Tina's husband, Julian's father, and Love's family. When necessary, he would step up.
He had thought that once his father and son became Champions, he could finally take it easy. But before he could enjoy that peace for long, this situation arose.
'Kyogre, I'll have to fish for you in the next life.'
Glancing back at Tina, Julian, and Love, Jake's resolve grew firmer than ever before. Beside him, Metagross's energy began to fluctuate intensely, responding to its usually laid-back Trainer's unprecedented determination.
That conviction to protect those behind him, even at the cost of his own life.
As Jake's partner, his strongest Pokémon, and a member of his family, Metagross felt in this moment that the bottleneck that had long constrained it had vanished. Its body and soul were rapidly sublimating.
'It broke through.'
Julian smiled slightly when he saw this.
Jake's Metagross had advanced from level 90, the peak of Pseudo-Champion, to level 93, the peak of early-stage Champion, directly skipping levels 91 and 92 due to its accumulated strength.
The surrounding Champions naturally sensed the change in Jake and his Metagross, but there was no joy on their faces—only pity.
Jake had just become a Champion, only to face death.
"Three generations of Champions in one family. Your Walker family is truly formidable."
Lyle, who already believed that victory was within his grasp, was in no hurry to act. When he saw Jake and Metagross break through to the Champion tier, he couldn't help but offer a few words of admiration.
Three generations of Champions in one family—what glory and brilliance! Yet, such brilliance was like a meteor, fleeting and soon to be extinguished.
Perhaps feeling somewhat moved, Lyle looked at Jake and Julian and said, "I'll give you two a chance to live. As long as you kill everyone here and join the Y Organization, you can survive."
If they truly killed everyone here, the world would have no place left for the Walker family. Even Drakoria wouldn't be able to protect them.
Jake sneered, "F**k off. The Walkers have always stood tall in life; we don't kneel even in death."
"Isn't that right, son?"
"Mm."
Julian nodded, then stepped in front of Jake and said: "Dad, your showing-off time has ended. From here on, leave it to me."
Jake: 'What do you mean? When did I show off? And what do you mean leave it to you?'
At this moment, Jake was utterly confused.
Before Jake could question him, Julian turned to the fifteen Champions and said, "From now on, as long as your countries don't provoke me or Drakoria, I won't take action."
This was his way of thanking them for their earlier decision to risk their lives and join forces to protect him.
The fifteen Champions were also stunned.
What? Did he still have some trump card?
Watching this scene, Lyle couldn't help but mock, "I'm curious—what trump card could you possibly have against a First-class Legendary? Surely you don't have a First-class Legendary on you? Hahahaha—!"
Apparently finding his own words particularly hilarious, Lyle couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But the next moment, his laughter was abruptly cut off.
Pop!
Julian simply smiled as a Poké Ball opened.
Before everyone appeared a Pokémon whose body was predominantly gray-black, resembling a fusion of a dinosaur and a robust, bipedal Western dragon.
Most importantly, it radiated an aura that only a First-class Legendary could possess.
The Ideal Dragon, Zekrom.

"You got one thing right—I do indeed have a First-class Legendary with me. But you were also wrong," Julian said, looking at Lyle, who was still in shock, regardless of whether he heard him or not. He continued, "What if I don't just have one? Isn't that right, Reshiram?"
Pop!
Another Poké Ball opened automatically.
Lyle's heart trembled violently.

The Truth Dragon, Reshiram, made its appearance, emanating an aura no weaker than Yveltal or Zekrom beside it.
The Black and White Dragons hovered on Julian's left and right, while he held the First-class Legendary, Jirachi, in his arms.
Now, all that was missing was Kyogre beneath his feet and Mewtwo behind him.
But it seemed like there was still one spot open in the back. Well, Metagross would do.
Metagross: 'Should I thank you for finally thinking of me.'
