★★★
The originally tense and dangerous atmosphere became… even more tense due to Galarian Moltres's sudden attack.
"Miss Sheena, I didn't expect you to be unable to get rid of even these trash, did I overestimate you or Aura?"
"So, why didn't you, being so weak, give me the Jewel of Life yesterday?"
Ryuga gently played with a shrunken Poké Ball on his fingertips, casually scanning the nervous Team Galactic members in front, and then glanced at Sheena with a light chuckle as he slowly spoke.
Sure enough, gods would not interfere in the internal disputes of humans.
Ryuga came to this conclusion in his heart, because Sheena and Kevin in front of him had already proven this point.
Sheena, who possessed Aura, could communicate with Dialga, and even ask Dialga to rescue humans in natural disasters.
But legendaries would not interfere in the internal conflicts of humans!
It had been like this for a long time, unless it was a legendary that had already become a human partner.
The only exception was Lugia, the guardian of Whirl Islands in Johto a hundred years ago.
Two countries on Whirl Islands started a war over the ownership of Whirl Islands.
Finally, Lugia, angered by the cruelty of the war, struck down lightning from the sky, splitting Whirl Islands into four and stopping the war.
"To see Dialga, I still need this woman."
Ryuga's eyes flickered slightly as he thought, besides the Jewel of Life, he also came for Dialga!
But now Cyrus had brought people to attack, and Dialga had not appeared, which clearly showed that Dialga did not want to interfere.
As the Time Dragon that controls time and monitors time dimensions in the Pokémon world, Dialga lives in a different space.
Ryuga could only see Dialga through Sheena, a descendant of Aura.
"Ryuga is truly joking, you should also know that the Jewel of Life is of great importance."
Sheena pursed her lips, forced a bitter smile, and looked extremely bitter.
Now, she really couldn't refuse Ryuga as righteously as she did yesterday, because reality had given her a hard blow.
She couldn't even protect the Ancient Temple, so how could she protect the Jewel of Life?
Upon hearing this, Kevin and Cynthia finally understood why Sheena had looked so upset yesterday.
It turned out that Ryuga also came for the Jewel of Life.
"Golbat, Air Slash!"
Jupiter's gloomy voice came.
A Golbat flapped its wings forcefully, and a strong wind mixed with Air Slash surged forward.
"Dark Pulse."
Ryuga's eyes flickered with mockery.
Was this weak attack meant to tickle?
"Chirp~"
Galarian Moltres let out a sharp cry, and purple-black energy quickly condensed and shot out fiercely.
Dark Pulse and Air Slash clashed violently in mid-air, but in almost an instant, Dark Pulse crushed Air Slash with overwhelming force.
Jupiter's pupils constricted, because the Dark Pulse was still rapidly approaching with unchecked momentum.
"Golbat!"
Jupiter frantically called out to Golbat, and green light points condensed in front of Golbat, attempting to use Protect.
But the attack came too fast!
Boom!
With a loud bang, a powerful air current burst forth, and Jupiter's entire body was directly blown backward by the air current.
"Damn it! How can it be so strong?!"
Falling heavily to the ground, when Jupiter looked up again, Golbat had already fallen and lost its ability to battle.
Thump~ Thump~
Footsteps lightly sounded.
"So weak, trash is only this level. Who gave you the confidence to actively attack me?"
Ryuga walked in front of Jupiter, a mocking curve on his lips, looking down at Jupiter from above.
The disdain in his tone and his condescending posture distorted Jupiter's gloomy face with shame and anger.
She was a dignified Team Galactic Executive, and this person in front of her?
Calling her trash again and again, what did he want?!
"Don't be too smug! The boss will be out soon, and none of you will escape!"
Jupiter's voice, sharp with anger, was quite grating.
"The boss of trash is just a slightly bigger piece of trash, and you're proud of it?"
Ryuga sneered.
A useless person like Cyrus, isn't he even worse than the current Cynthia?
Ryuga truly looked down on Cyrus.
"You!"
Seeing Ryuga insult her revered boss like this, Jupiter's face became even more contorted, and her eyes were bloodshot due to the intense anger, looking quite unsettling.
However, Ryuga had completely ignored Jupiter.
She was just a powerless defeated dog, and he didn't care at all.
"…"
Cynthia's delicate brows furrowed slightly, looking at Ryuga without a word.
Having witnessed everything, although Team Galactic was definitely not good, no matter how she looked at it, this Ryuga didn't seem like a good person either?
Ryuga's position should be on their side right now, but Cynthia couldn't stop this impolite thought.
"This is really too arrogant…" Marnie's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Hmm, if it were a novel or TV show, a wildly arrogant villain like Ryuga would surely be a villain template that wouldn't survive three episodes.
However, Marnie finally calmed down, her delicate little face extremely serene.
After all, she was already on the pirate ship.
She just had to follow Ryuga all the way to the end.
However…
"It's better to be cautious."
Marnie subtly moved slightly away from Cynthia and Caitlin.
She needed to keep some distance from Cynthia.
Although Ryuga wasn't afraid of Cynthia, she was absolutely no match for this Sinnoh Champion.
She didn't want to be easily taken advantage of if they turned hostile later.
Hmm, how clever of me!
And at this moment, Cyrus also followed Sheena's directions and arrived at the basement.
"Jewel of Life!"
He removed the sacred stone relic, pressed it lightly, and the relic bloomed like a flower, revealing the radiant green orb hidden within.
Looking at this Jewel of Life, which shimmered with mysterious fluorescence, even with Cyrus's temperament, joy couldn't help but show in his eyes.
That ruin guardian didn't deceive him, but then again, how could she dare to deceive him?
The Jewel of Life! He got it!
"Go!"
However, Cyrus was not an ordinary person, and he quickly regained his composure, saying calmly.
The item was obtained, it was time to leave, otherwise, if people from the Sinnoh League arrived, it would be no joke.
They had to hurry.
Cyrus led Mars and others out of the basement immediately, preparing to leave Michina Town and return to their base.
However…
"You're out, huh? We've been waiting for you for a while."
Ryuga heard footsteps and turned his head, just in time to see Cyrus and others leading the way out of the Ancient Temple, revealing a warm smile.
It had been a while, because the Ancient Temple was not small, so they simply waited here to ambush them.
Sheena had already stated unequivocally that the Ancient Temple only had one exit, which was the main gate.
Cyrus: "…"
Mars and others: "…"
Jupiter and a group of Team Galactic members were all half-dead and tied up, thrown to the side.
"I didn't expect the Sinnoh Champion to be here."
Cyrus scanned the area, roughly understood the situation, and then looked at Cynthia, speaking calmly.
At least on the surface, Cyrus remained as steady as an old dog, calm and composed.
But in his heart, Cyrus knew the situation was very bad, after all, the title of Sinnoh Champion was there.
She was the person standing at the peak of the Sinnoh region.
"Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic, return the Jewel of Life, and your crimes can be dealt with leniently."
Cynthia's beautiful face was serious.
Team Galactic's attack on Michina Ruins was absolutely not to be underestimated.
If Team Galactic escaped today, once word got out, the Sinnoh League's reputation would be severely damaged.
The people of the Sinnoh region would also be disappointed in the Sinnoh League.
"You're not old, but your tone isn't small, boss, leave this to us."
Before Cyrus could speak, Mars directly mocked Cynthia, then whispered to Cyrus.
Although Cynthia had arrived, it seemed that the League's police officers had not.
The Jewel of Life had been obtained; as long as Cyrus left with the Jewel of Life, this operation would be worthwhile.
As for them?
At worst, they would be caught and spend some time in prison.
There was no death penalty in this world, and the League stipulated that life was above all else.
Unless facing a life-threatening crisis, even League personnel were not allowed to kill anyone.
So Mars wasn't afraid that Cynthia would kill her at all, and she decisively prepared to cover Cyrus's retreat.
Besides, they still had many Team Galactic members on their side.
After Cyrus retreated, maybe she could also escape?
"I'll leave it to you."
Cyrus also understood the urgency, and nodded in response.
"Purugly! Bronzor!"
Mars threw out two Poké Balls, and a plump Purugly and a Bronzor shaped like a bronze mirror appeared in front of Mars.
And the other Team Galactic members also threw out their Pokémon one after another.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Pokémon on Cyrus's side were glaring at Cynthia and the others with fierce intensity.
Regardless of their strength, just their fierce aura made Sheena and Kevin's faces slightly pale.
But Cynthia, Caitlin, and Marnie remained completely unfazed.
"Mere rabble."
Ryuga glanced at these Pokémon, a mocking curve forming on his lips.
They were all just trash Pokémon, easily defeated.
Ryuga lost interest and turned his gaze to Cyrus.
This person was the only one here who seemed somewhat capable.
"Fly in the sky, Garchomp!"
Cynthia's face was serious, and her demeanor was cold as she tossed her Poké Ball high.
Roar~
A low dragon roar echoed loudly, and a ferocious, strong dragon landed heavily in front of Cynthia.
Its overall appearance was dark blue and shark-like, standing on two legs, with sharp teeth and claws, looking domineering and fierce.
It was Champion Cynthia's ace Pokémon, Garchomp!
A Dragon-type Pokémon hailed as a pseudo-legendary!
A powerful aura continuously emanated from Garchomp.
Even though there were dozens of Pokémon in front of it, Garchomp's eyes became even more ferocious.
Under Garchomp's Dragon-type pressure, some of Mars's Pokémon, whose strength was insufficient, were already filled with fear and retreated a few steps in terror.
"Give up resisting. None of you can escape today."
Cynthia's usual elegant and classical demeanor was completely gone.
She gently brushed her waterfall-like golden hair and her cold eyes swept over Mars and the others.
Like her Pokémon, Garchomp, she exuded overwhelming power!
"A high-level Champion Garchomp."
Feeling Garchomp's aura, Ryuga carefully observed this Garchomp with interest, making a judgment in his mind.
This Garchomp's strength was that of a high-level Champion, yet under Cynthia's careful training and the Dragon-type pseudo-legendary's powerful physique, it probably wouldn't fall behind in a fight against an ordinary Top Champion Pokémon.
"It seems that the current Cynthia is still not at her peak."
Thinking this, Ryuga shook his head.
Cynthia at her peak was also a Top Champion comparable to Lance, Giovanni, and Leon.
But judging from Garchomp's strength, it would probably take at least another year for Cynthia to truly enter her peak.
"Who are you looking down on? Purugly, Shadow Claw!"
Noticing that the situation was not right, Mars's expression hardened, and she actively gave Purugly an attack command.
They had to take the initiative, otherwise, their morale would scatter.
And after Purugly took the lead, the other Pokémon also received commands from their Trainers and launched an attack towards Garchomp.
"Meaningless struggle."
Watching this scene, Cynthia's expression remained calm.
If it was only to this extent, she wouldn't be defeated.
She was Sinnoh Champion Cynthia!
"Garchomp, Earthquake!"
Cynthia's expression was calm as she gave Garchomp the command.
Garchomp let out a low roar, lifted its right foot, and then stomped it down heavily.
Rumble!
The entire Michina Ruins seemed to tremble, the ground began to shake violently, and shocking cracks extended from Garchomp towards the front.
Invisible shockwaves vibrated and spread.
Under the terrifying tremor, Purugly and the other Pokémon rushing on the ground were completely caught off guard, unable to maintain their balance and falling to the ground.
The Earthquake came too fast!
As the shockwave swept through, Purugly and the other Pokémon's faces instantly twisted into masks of pain, and scattered cries of agony continuously rang out.
"Such a powerful Earthquake!"
Releasing Grimmsnarl to support herself, Marnie was finally able to maintain her balance, and couldn't help but feel shocked.
An Earthquake that could shake the entire Michina Ruins!
And this was clearly the result of Garchomp holding back, because the main target of the Earthquake was Purugly and the other Pokémon in front of Garchomp.
The Earthquake did not last long, but when it ended, all the Pokémon in front of Garchomp were lying unconscious!
Except for Bronzor and other Pokémon that flew, all those running on the ground were defeated!
One hit knocked out over a dozen Pokémon.
"Hiss~ As expected of Champion Cynthia."
Sheena and Kevin, who rarely went out, couldn't help but gasp in admiration.
Although they had seen Dialga with their own eyes, they had never seen Dialga fight, and because of Sheena's Aura, Dialga had never shown hostility or released its divine power towards them.
So, strictly speaking, these two had never really seen the world.
Compared to Sheena and the others, Mars's expression was truly grim.
"Boss, please leave quickly."
Mars's expression was extremely serious.
She knew in her heart that they would have a hard time defeating Cynthia, but she never expected it.
Their Pokémon were like scrap metal in front of Cynthia, completely unable to withstand a single blow.
This way, they couldn't even buy Cyrus time to retreat…
"Thank you all."
Cyrus's expression remained indifferent, but his gaze towards Cynthia flickered continuously.
This was his first time facing Cynthia, the new Sinnoh Champion.
This sense of pressure was much stronger than the previous Sinnoh Champion.
And much stronger than himself!
Understanding this, Cyrus completely gave up the idea of fighting Cynthia.
He was no match for Cynthia.
"Crobat."
Releasing a Crobat, Cyrus grabbed Crobat's leg, ready to leave.
With Crobat's speed, Cynthia, who hadn't arrived yet, wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Once I master the power of the Jewel of Life! And find Palkia and Dialga, I will be able to create a truly perfect world!"
Cyrus's eyes gleamed.
A temporary setback was nothing!
Besides, he had also obtained the Jewel of Life this time.
He had gained a lot, so let the Sinnoh League be proud for now.
Cyrus declared that he stood higher, and his focus was on the future!
Crobat ascended, its small wings flapping continuously, preparing to fly away from Michina Ruins.
But just then!
