Within the endless blizzard, Glastrier, radiating sky-piercing cold intent, walked toward Axel step by step.
With each step he took, an ice crystal would appear on the ground he trampled.
As he walked closer and closer, those ice crystals were even fixed mid-air by Glastrier in advance.
From a distance, it looked as if Glastrier was walking in mid-air.
Even more outrageous was the scene behind Glastrier.
A thirty-meter-long Gyarados spiraled behind him, forming a water-blue Pokémon aura.
Plus, with Gyarados's eastern dragon appearance, anyone who didn't know might truly mistake Glastrier for the real dragon prince, Shenron.
Heavenly god descending to the mortal world, nothing more than this.
Seeing Axel and Iono's astonished expressions, Glastrier slightly lifted his head, full micro-expression control activated, revealing a calm demeanor.
But that wasn't enough.
Now that he'd shown off, he also needed to take Axel over to N and show off there too.
'Today, I'll let you see what it means to ride the horse to flaunt the man!'
'By the time you're immersed in the joy of having me, I'll hit you with a trial, and won't you be blown away?'
Just then, Axel suddenly laughed.
Because Gardevoir said something in his mind.
["Master… he wants to show off with you… so you'll never leave him, and then…"]
"And then what?"
["Then… he'll say he wants to test you…"]
'Test me?'
Axel couldn't help but laugh.
Ever since Mewtwo joined the team, he hadn't been tested in ages.
'What, just because your flair-for-showing-off stat is high?'
'You think I can't do that too?'
Axel cleared his throat, and his right hand brushed past his belt.
Anyway, all the spectators had already run away, if he revealed more legendary Pokémon now, no one would chase him for autographs.
'It's decided then, Ho-Oh, it's your turn!'
Axel gently flicked his right hand, and a fiery red Pokéball flew out with a sacred tail flame.
The moment it burst open in mid-air, a rainbow-colored stream of light appeared from nowhere, condensing into the form of a Pokémon mid-air.
Ho-Oh wore a crown, a rainbow halo glowing behind it. The terrifying heat from its body instantly melted more than half of the blizzard.
"Caw..."
"Wait! Don't cry out!", Axel cut off Ho-Oh's cry, wiping a cold sweat from his forehead.
Good thing he reacted quickly, if Ho-Oh had called out, the whole show would've been ruined.
Ho-Oh, holding back uncomfortably, spat out a breath of sacred fire from its mouth.
In the next moment, the wind and snow vanished completely, revealing Glastrier and Gyarados fully in view.
Without the blizzard's cover, Glastrier's sense of grandeur instantly dropped several levels.
He instinctively took a half-step back, staring in disbelief at Ho-Oh in the sky.
'What the heck?'
'Isn't that the Kanto auspicious beast? What's it doing in Unova?'
Though Ho-Oh didn't look large, the divine aura was clearly way stronger than his own.
Glastrier became a bit more obedient, suddenly feeling like testing Axel might not be a good idea.
'This guy's clearly a future thigh to cling to, better not mess it up with a test.'
Axel grinned, 'This should just about do it, right?'
'I don't test you, and you don't test me either."
But at that moment, as if it had sensed Ho-Oh's aura, the Pokéball on Axel's waist, filled with evil and destructive energy, suddenly opened.
Eternatus appeared out of nowhere and immediately noticed a big horse he'd never seen before staring at his mom.
His expression instantly turned fierce and vicious, positioning himself in front of Ho-Oh.
"roar~"
Axel: "..."
'Wait, why'd you come out now?'
'I was just about to capture this show-off horse! If you show up, won't everything be exposed?'
Unexpectedly, the imagined disaster didn't happen. Instead, Glastrier instinctively took a step back.
He looked nearly terrified at Eternatus, his teeth trembling uncontrollably.
'Holy crap! crap! crap! crap!'
'Why is that thing here?'
Though the size didn't quite match, its look and aura were exactly the same.
'Letting it out would only bring bad luck, okay!'
'It's over, it's over! This region is done for! Let's go somewhere else to save the world!'
Glastrier now really wanted to drag Axel and run to another region to save the world instead.
But he didn't dare cross Eternatus, who stood in the middle... so he could only frantically signal at Axel with his eyes.
'Run, bro!'
'It's not that I can't beat Eternatus, it's that Groudon and Kyogre are a better deal!'
'Even though I really want to meet Master Cloud again, I really don't want to do it by dying.'
After watching Glastrier make funny faces for a while, Axel finally understood.
'This guy… seems to be from the same region as Eternatus.'
'From his reaction, he must've seen it before?'
'If he's met Eternatus and still dares to wander around, this guy's strength must be pretty solid.'
"Eternatus, this is a new friend, don't bare your teeth like that."
"roar!", Eternatus still glared at Glastrier.
From Axel's other Pokémon, Eternatus could sense the shared aura of the same Pokéballs.
But this guy's aura was different from everyone else's.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Off to the side, Iono was completely stunned.
'What are these things around Axel?'
She'd seen Ho-Oh before, that was the one who brushed up against Elesa.
'But what is this pink-purple little dragon with some red, what the heck?'
'It scared the other legendary Pokémon into this state?'
Axel gave an awkward smile, just about to reach out and recall Eternatus when another click came from the Pokéball at his waist.
Mewtwo appeared in the middle of the group of legendaries without any warning, glanced at the tense Eternatus and the defiant Glastrier.
And couldn't help but hold the tablet in deep thought—
'Seems like... I missed class again?'
