"Snap!"
The Ultra Ball cracked again. Gengar kept up its pursuit, and another Ultra Ball was pressed onto the target.
On the other side, Ace pulled out more than twenty Ultra Balls from his pouch, completely unfazed by them being burst open by Kyurem.
One, two, three...
After successively bursting over ten more Ultra Balls, the nineteenth Ultra Ball finally dropped to the ground.
The Ultra Ball shook several times before slowly coming to a stop.
Ace put away the remaining Ultra Balls, walked to the Ultra Ball containing Kyurem, and picked it up.

"Hidden Quest (The Tao Dragon) completed. Quest evaluation: S. Quest reward: 50,000 Gold, 50 Quest Points."
"The gift package has been stored for you and can be claimed at any time."
Ace glanced at the hidden quest, ignored it, and put the Ultra Ball away. Gengar also reverted from its Mega Evolution.
Ace and Gengar jumped onto Lapras's back. He patted Lapras's neck and said, "Let's go, we need to get out of here first. The environment here is too harsh."
Lapras nodded, paddling its four limbs, and quickly moved across the ice, swiftly carrying Ace and Gengar out of this space.
Passing through the thick wall of ice, Lapras glided all the way to the outside of the Giant Chasm.
The blizzard had subsided now, and the thick layer of snow on the ground provided a natural track for Lapras, so it no longer needed to use its own power to create ice.
Gliding along the snow, Ace and his group moved far away from Lacunosa Town.
It wasn't until Lapras had glided a great distance, and Ace saw that there was hardly any snow around, that he had Lapras stop.
Jumping off Lapras, Ace landed in the residual snow. He took out an Ultra Ball and a Poké Ball from his pouch. Opening them, Gardevoir and Kyurem appeared before him.
"Gardevoir, I'll trouble you to translate."
Ace stroked Gardevoir's head, then looked at Kyurem and said, "Kyurem, do you concede?"
Kyurem looked at Ace with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a long time, it slowly nodded, indicating its submission to Ace.
"Behave, don't try anything funny."
Ace gave the motionless Kyurem a warning look, then took out another Ultra Ball.
The Ultra Ball opened, and Zekrom also landed beside Ace.
Upon seeing Zekrom, Kyurem's eyes instantly lit up, and it subconsciously took a step forward.
But just then, Gengar and Gardevoir blocked Kyurem's path, staring fiercely at it.
Kyurem stopped, realizing that it had been captured, and its opponent had defeated it fair and square. It had nothing to say.
Zekrom was also startled by Kyurem. The Tao Trio was originally one entity, then split into Zekrom and Reshiram, with the remaining shell becoming Kyurem.
It was precisely because Zekrom and Reshiram split from the remains that Kyurem possessed the ability to absorb either Zekrom or Reshiram.
And now, as separate entities, Zekrom and Reshiram naturally didn't want to be absorbed by Kyurem.
"Don't worry, I captured Kyurem not to have it devour you."
Ace reassured Zekrom, "My idea is to have you fuse, for the two consciousnesses to merge into one. That is the truly complete form."
Zekrom and Kyurem both looked confused, then they called out to Ace in low voices.
"How to fuse? How do we merge?" (Gardevoir translates)
"Didn't I say? Having Kyurem devour you is incorrect. Instead, your two bodies should fuse, and your consciousnesses become one."
Ace said flatly, "So, I need some samples. Next, I need to cut some things from your bodies for research."
Hearing Ace's words, Zekrom and Kyurem both took a step back, watching Ace vigilantly.
If Ace were to check the Affection of the two Pokémon right now, he'd likely see the number dropping drastically.
Later, under Gardevoir's repeated assurances, Zekrom and Kyurem, under extreme reluctance, had some body parts excised by Ace.
Then, thanks to the system's Perfect-grade Body Restoration, Zekrom and Kyurem were both perfectly whole again.
Ace put the two terrified Dragons back into their balls, classified and stored the samples, then turned to find a nearby town and checked into a hotel.
After a two-day delay, Ace successfully figured out the method for the two Dragons to fuse, using the samples.
"It's far simpler than I imagined."
Ace stir-fried some of the leftover muscle tissue into a dish. After eating it, Ace's physical strength increased yet again.
Afterward, Ace found a secluded spot by himself, threw out two Ultra Balls, and Zekrom and Kyurem appeared before him.
"Kyurem, absorb it."
Ace pointed at Zekrom, saying something that made Zekrom's heart skip a beat.
Kyurem froze for a moment, then was overjoyed. Its ice wings instantly shattered, revealing filamentous wings, and several rays shot towards Zekrom.
Zekrom instinctively dodged, but the distance between them was too close. In almost an instant, it was hit by Kyurem's rays.
Amidst a mournful cry, Zekrom transformed back into the Dark Stone, then was absorbed by Kyurem's rays, integrating into Kyurem's body.
"Boom!"
A burst of air pressure erupted from Kyurem's body, making Ace's trench coat flap wildly.
But Ace didn't even blink, carefully observing Kyurem's transformation.
Kyurem raised its upper body, standing on two legs, and began transforming into Black Kyurem.
The right ice horn was replaced by a horn-like structure similar to Zekrom's, and pupils appeared in its cloudy eyes.
Its right forelimb was replaced by a claw similar to Zekrom's, and the left forelimb was a replica of the right forelimb made of ice. The original wings retracted into its shoulders. Above this, a right wing similar to Zekrom's grew, and a left wing—a replica of the right wing made of ice—also appeared.
Black skin grew on its chest, back, and face. The ice on its tail completely disappeared, turning into a three-clawed, bent structure, encased in a black, power-generating organ similar to Zekrom's tail.
The newborn Black Kyurem nodded in satisfaction, and then was immediately recalled by Ace into its Ultra Ball.
"System, begin!"
Ace took a deep breath. Next, was the moment to witness a miracle!
