Lin Feng didn't hide anything from Gardevoir.
He explained everything that had just happened, then looked toward the Pokémon that had been drawn over by the commotion.
Blaziken.
Dragonite.
Salamence.
Pidgeot.
Tsareena.
Steenee.
Happiny.
Furret.
And many more...
Some of them had been with Lin Feng for a long time, or had grown up alongside him.
They weren't particularly frightened.
But the Pokémon that had only recently joined Lin Feng, along with some of the Pokémon from the Wild Area, were visibly uneasy.
Lin Feng released his Aura and gently calmed them.
"It's fine. It's fine. Don't worry..."
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The Pokémon world...
For weaker Pokémon, even when powerful Pokémon weren't their natural predators, the aftermath of their clashes could still become an unavoidable disaster.
With a disturbance this enormous, Zoroark had naturally noticed it as well.
But standing nearby, it couldn't help feeling uneasy.
This little place had always been peaceful.
Yet now such a huge conflict had suddenly erupted.
It was obvious that this was probably happening because of its own situation.
"Don't worry."
"I said I'd help you, so I'll see it through to the end."
Lin Feng didn't waste time explaining anything further.
After giving Zoroark a reassuring word, he walked directly toward the reservoir.
He poured some Honey Grape Wine into the water.
Before long, a dark dragon-shaped shadow appeared beneath the surface.
Then Giratina emerged from the Distortion World.
[Pokémon: Giratina]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Type: Ghost, Dragon]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Potential: Divine]
[Individual Values: ...]
[Strength: ??? Level]
[Moves: Shadow Sneak, Dragon Breath, Shadow Ball, Shadow Force...]
[Joy Value: 40 (Here I come, here I come~)]
[Friendship: 88 (It trusts you very much.)]
[Help me, Giratina!]
Lin Feng's request was simple.
[What is it?!]
Giratina's eyes almost seemed to light up.
Finally!
Was it finally its turn to act?
[Help me find Dialga!]
Time.
Space.
Distortion.
The three Legendary Pokémon should have some kind of connection with one another.
If anyone could locate one of them, who better to do it than another member of the trio?
[Alright!]
Giratina immediately agreed.
Lin Feng didn't waste any more time.
He took out the Poké Balls containing Gardevoir, Serperior, and Dragonite, recalled the three Pokémon that had followed him here, then jumped directly into the water.
.....
Above the vast ocean.
The endless sea had originally been calm.
But suddenly, fierce winds and torrential rain swept across its surface.
The waves erupted.
Two enormous figures burst out from beneath the sea.
Lugia gathered energy within its mouth.
Its two enormous wings, resembling a pair of giant hands, firmly seized Dialga's head.
Then energy began gathering inside its mouth.
It seemed determined to fire an Aura Sphere directly into Dialga's face.
But at the most critical moment, just as the energy was about to take shape, Dialga finally broke free from Lugia's grasp.
It shot into the sky.
At the same time, another Roar of Time gathered within its mouth.
Both sides unleashed their attacks.
The two enormous attacks collided in midair.
In an instant, countless waves exploded across the ocean.
Space twisted.
Time itself seemed to become distorted.
At the center of the collision, the two energies surged endlessly, erupting into a destructive pillar of light.
Yet after the two attacks collided...
Neither Pokémon appeared to have suffered any injury.
Lugia roared again.
It was just about to fly forward and attack once more.
But under the influence of some strange energy, it hadn't even flown very far before a bizarre trajectory pulled it back to its original position.
[Gaaah?]
Lugia froze.
Dialga, meanwhile, began gathering energy once more.
It intended to seize this opportunity and deliver a devastating blow to Lugia.
But at that moment...
The surface of the ocean, already dark beneath the sky, suddenly became even darker.
A familiar aura emerged from within the gloomy energy.
Then a familiar figure slowly rose from the sea.
There was no doubt about it.
Giratina!
Only...
There was a human standing on its head?
Dialga blinked.
It seemed to recognize him.
It was the same human it had noticed earlier, although this time he was wearing a mask.
And now...
He was standing on Giratina's head?
Dialga almost couldn't believe what it was seeing.
"Wait, wait!"
"Dialga! Lugia!"
Lin Feng had rushed here through the Distortion World.
When he saw the scene before him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from what he could see on the ocean, the two sides had indeed fought.
But the battle hadn't escalated too far yet.
Dialga remained silent.
In this battle against Lugia, it was obvious that Dialga had gained the upper hand through its authority over time.
Getting it to simply stop wouldn't be easy.
Even if Giratina was standing beneath this human.
Lin Feng's heartbeat also quickened.
His opponent was the God of Time.
Normally, when it came to Pokémon battles, Lin Feng's mind was as calm as still water.
After all, the strength of his own Pokémon was right there.
There were very few battles that could genuinely make him worry.
But this was a battle between gods.
If things really escalated, it wouldn't just affect time, space, or the Distortion World.
Even the living creatures in the surrounding area could suffer a devastating fate.
[Graaah!]
Giratina let out a roar.
That single roar gave Lin Feng a little more confidence.
At the same time, high above the battlefield, Mew had transformed into Latias and arrived with Victini.
The two little ones immediately spotted Lin Feng and Giratina.
They flew toward them.
But halfway there, they noticed Lugia trapped within the strange time loop.
Mew immediately began shouting.
ヾ(≧へ≦)〃!
[Meow, meow!]
(Lugia? It dares bully you? Victini, let's go!)
Seeing Mew about to cause even more trouble, Lin Feng hurriedly shouted,
"Wait... wait!"
"Come back!"
"Meow?"
Mew slammed on the brakes in midair.
It turned around in confusion and looked at Lin Feng.
"Come back first."
Lin Feng was beginning to feel exhausted.
Giratina beneath him was already showing signs of wanting to attack Dialga.
It seemed like the God of the Distortion World hadn't had a proper fight in quite some time either.
These Legendary Pokémon really did seem to have tempers hotter than the last.
If Lin Feng's guess was correct, Lugia had attacked Dialga because Dialga had made the first move.
Then Dialga had looked at Lugia with that dismissive expression.
And after that...
The two gods simply started fighting.
"Meow..."
Mew looked at Lugia.
Then it looked at Dialga.
Finally, it flew back to Lin Feng's side.
"Whew..."
Lin Feng took a deep breath.
He looked up at Dialga.
His expression became serious.
"God of Time, Dialga."
"Let's stop the battle for now."
"I think there must be some misunderstanding here."
He paused for a moment.
Then his voice became even more serious.
"Of course, if you refuse to stop, I'll have to find a way to force a ceasefire."
His words were completely serious.
Because no matter what...
This battle had to stop.
