Relying on their powerful abilities, the Creation Trio managed to hold back the even stronger Tao Trio.
Although the three of them couldn't pose any real threat to the Tao Trio, the Tao Trio likewise couldn't defeat them in a short amount of time.
This infuriated the always-proud Zekrom.
It continuously launched attacks after attacks at Palkia, while the latter spent most of its time evading. Whenever it truly couldn't avoid an attack, it simply retreated into another dimension.
"Rom!"
Zekrom: "Is running away all you know how to do?!"
Palkia simply answered Zekrom's taunt with a Spacial Rend.
The gem on its arm lit up as the crescent-shaped slash appeared, and the moment it materialized, it instantly vanished, only to reappear directly in front of Zekrom.
Its disappearance and reappearance happened almost simultaneously.
BOOOM!!
Zekrom crossed its arms in front of itself, and as the scales on its arms shattered, it forcibly withstood the opponent's attack.
Fusion Bolt!
Zekrom immediately entered its Overdrive Mode, while Palkia simultaneously assumed its Origin Forme.
Whether it was Overdrive Mode or Origin Forme, neither increased their levels. Instead, each enhanced certain aspects of their abilities while correspondingly weakening others.
Fusion Bolt was once again evaded by Palkia slipping into another dimension.
This time, however, the evasion wasn't nearly as effortless as before—Palkia's breathing had become noticeably heavier.
But because the surroundings were filled with the sounds of battle, its slightly labored breathing was naturally drowned out.
"Traveling between dimensions is quite draining on stamina, isn't it?" Zekrom sneered.
It was no fool—the minds of First-class Legendaries were all very sharp.
The more powerful an ability was, the greater its limitations and cost.
And an ability like Palkia's, which allowed it to hide within another dimension, already surpassed the abilities of the vast majority of First-class Legendaries.
There was no way such a power could be used without limitations.
For example, it likely consumed an enormous amount of stamina and mental energy.
It was just like Zekrom's own Fusion Bolt.
Using Fusion Bolt consumed nearly one-tenth of its stamina each time—fortunately, its stamina was far greater than it had once been.
Although it still couldn't spam the move as if it was an ordinary attack, unleashing twenty or thirty Fusion Bolts was no problem at all.
Likewise, every use of Dialga's power over time and Giratina's power over the Reverse World consumed an enormous amount of stamina and mental energy.
So if the battle continued like this, the Creation Trio would definitely lose to the Tao Trio, as they could simply outlast them until they collapsed from exhaustion.
However, Julian didn't want to drag the fight on.
The aftershocks generated by the battle of the sixteen First-class Legendaries had already completely destroyed all of the East African region, and wave after wave of destructive shockwaves were spreading beyond the region.
Wherever they passed, mountains crumbled, rivers flowed backward, and the oceans erupted into towering tsunamis.
The first places to suffer were naturally the regions bordering East Africa.
Fortunately, Drakoria was far away. So by the time the shockwaves reached it, they would have already been weakened after passing through several other regions, so the resulting damage shouldn't be too severe.
The greatest disaster was actually the colossal waves rising across the ocean.
Those waves would continue advancing, their energy growing stronger as they traveled. And every coastal nation and city along their path would eventually be struck.
Drakoria alone had many coastal cities.
Fortunately, the waves wouldn't reach their anytime soon. And by the time they did, Julian expected the battle to have already ended.

What Julian had taken out was the DNA Splicers, and the moment it appeared, sharp-eyed viewers immediately noticed it.
As Julian produced the DNA Splicers, Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem all seemed to sense something.
They simultaneously turned to look at Julian, then their gazes locked onto the item in his hand.
"Reshiram, Kyurem!"
Julian fixed his eyes on the two Pokémon.
And the two Pokémon, as if suddenly understanding something, began instinctively drawing closer to each other.
At the same time, the DNA Splicers in Julian's hand began emitting light, linking the two Pokémon together.
As Reshiram and Kyurem collided, the two masses of light fused into one. And when the light finally shattered, the being that appeared before everyone was neither Reshiram nor Kyurem.
Instead, it was an entirely new Pokémon.
The Pokémon before them possessed Reshiram's physical features while simultaneously bearing the characteristics of Kyurem.

Under the effects of the DNA Splicers, Kyurem and Reshiram fused together, creating an even more powerful Pokémon—White Kyurem.
Its level also broke through from the peak of the First-class Legendary tier into the Forbidden-class.
"ROAR—!!"
Feeling the overwhelming power and energy surging through its body, White Kyurem let out a thunderous roar, the massive soundwave even blasting the Creation Trio before it backward.
"Finish them," Julian commanded coldly.
White Kyurem immediately launched an Ice Burn at the nearest Palkia.
Faced with the attack, Palkia sensed an enormous threat and instinctively resorted to its old tactic, retreating into a different dimension.
But now, White Kyurem was a Forbidden-class being. And once a Pokémon reached the Forbidden-class, it possessed the power to destroy the very fabric of space itself.
A trace of disdain flashed through White Kyurem's eyes. Faced with the Ice Burn, Palkia discovered with horror that the space around it was actually shattering.
'WTF! I'm inside another dimension!'
BOOOOM!!!
As the dimensional space collapsed, Palkia was violently forced out of it, and what greeted it was White Kyurem's Dragon Claw.
The claw came crashing down, smashing Palkia straight into the ground with a thunderous crash. The force of the impact was so tremendous that the entire land of East Africa trembled.
And some of the people who had survived by hiding underground were struck by the violent earthquake, causing many of their subterranean shelters to collapse.
Ice Burn!
The attack wasn't over yet. Before Palkia could even get up, another Ice Burn struck it head on, and energy both freezing cold and scorching hot surged over it like a tidal wave.
"ROAR—!"
Within the Ice Burn, Palkia continuously let out one agonized roar after another.
