"The battle really is intense."
Grey stood beside Ash with both hands in his pockets.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Ash of the Kalos region had matured a lot. Even Grey felt like his art style had changed.
This was the movie timeline, not the Ash from his own space-time.
Hearing the question, Grey turned his head, looked Ash up and down, then reached out a hand. "I'm Grey, a Trainer from another region. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Ash. These are my traveling companions, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie."
Ash shook Grey's hand and introduced the three people beside him.
There was also the pair of siblings accompanying Hoopa.
The older brother was Baraz, and the younger sister was Meray.
At that moment, Baraz had originally been thinking of a way to make Hoopa Unbound disappear.
However…
With this massive group of Legendary Pokémon here, couldn't they just beat Hoopa Unbound to death?
For a moment, Baraz's idea was wiped away on the spot.
He had thought they would be lacking firepower and would have no choice but to remake a Prison Bottle.
But now, things were different.
Hoopa Unbound did not dare act recklessly at all.
It was even being suppressed the entire time.
In that case, did they even need to make another Prison Bottle?
Wait.
No, no.
Baraz thought about it. After all, this was relying on someone else's strength.
What if, after this group of Legendary Pokémon left, no one could stop Hoopa Unbound anymore?
They had to seal Hoopa Unbound away!
Thinking of that, Baraz cleared his throat and was just about to say something.
Boom!
Precipice Blades erupted from the ground, directly interrupting Baraz's thoughts.
Lava spread everywhere. Wherever it passed, the streets of Dahara City were left in ruins.
Groudon had made its move.
Its target was Regigigas.
A being that, like itself, could not fly.
In its own words, there could only be one Pokémon here that could not fly!
Groudon had already adjusted its mindset.
As a Legendary Pokémon, it naturally needed something unique about itself.
Since not being able to fly was its defining trait, then it would treat that as its shining point and embrace it to the end!
From now on, it would take pride in being unable to fly.
But there could only be one Pokémon that could not fly!
So…
Regigigas, you criminal Pokémon, please go roll away somewhere else!
"Regi?"
Regigigas was being controlled by Hoopa Unbound.
Its round, hollow eyes flashed. It raised both arms, and an ordinary-looking white light suddenly bloomed!
Crack!
All six of Regigigas's fingers clenched at the same time, and the incoming blades of lava were instantly crushed into fragments.
Normal-type Crush Grip!
At the same time, it was Regigigas's signature move!
Its power was terrifying!
"Oh! I didn't expect even Groudon's Precipice Blades to be crushed in one move by Regigigas's Crush Grip.
"As expected of Regigigas, known as the king of the Regis. Truly terrifying!"
Grey became a spectator eating popcorn and, without the slightest hesitation, took on the role of battlefield reporter, giving everyone real-time commentary.
Groudon: "???"
Bro, I came here to save you, and now you're praising the enemy while lowering our own morale?!
"Are you a poet or something?"
"My eloquence isn't that good. Thanks for the compliment."
"!"
Groudon was stunned by Grey's shamelessness.
How could there be such a brazen person in this world?!
"Hahaha! Groudon, oh Groudon, I never thought your Precipice Blades would be stopped by another Pokémon."
Kyogre joined the battlefield without hesitation and mocked Groudon mercilessly.
It was very happy to see its old rival suffer.
Unfortunately, it had not recorded it.
Otherwise, this would have been great entertainment.
The great god of the land, Groudon, had its Precipice Blades crushed by someone else. Hahaha!
If this got out, how many people would laugh their heads off?
"Damn it, Kyogre, now isn't the time to laugh at me!"
Groudon chose to change the subject. "I feel like this guy's power is strange. What happened to Slow Start?"
"Have you considered the possibility that it already finished starting up a long time ago?"
Kyogre twisted the knife.
"Nice."
Silence was the final word that night.
If there had been a cigarette, Groudon would have very much liked to light one for itself and take a deep, painful drag.
Aside from Palkia, the most miserable one in this whole Hoopa incident was definitely Groudon.
"Regi!"
Regigigas punched forward.
It looked very ordinary, but the terrifying force contained within that punch made both Groudon and Kyogre unwilling to take it head-on.
Good grief, that was a punch from the king of the Regis!
You could laugh at Regigigas's Slow Start, but when it came to raw strength, you truly could not laugh!
Kyogre immediately flapped its fins and dodged.
Groudon moved slowly, so Regigigas's punch landed squarely on its face. The force of the impact made it retreat several steps in a row.
Rumble!
Earthquake waves spread out from under Groudon's feet. Regigigas lost its balance and nearly fell to the ground.
"Take this, Origin Pulse!"
Kyogre flew above Regigigas's head.
Dark clouds gathered overhead. Blue light radiated from Kyogre's fins as countless beams crisscrossed and bombarded Regigigas's body at the same time.
"Regi… Regi…"
After being hit by this move, Regigigas locked onto Kyogre as its target. Countless stone projectiles formed out of thin air and roared toward Kyogre!
Rock-type Smack Down!
Against a Pokémon that could fly, Smack Down had remarkable effects.
Clearly, Regigigas was aware of that.
But just as Regigigas launched Smack Down, Groudon used Precipice Blades to knock down every part of the move.
That counted as revenge.
Regigigas slowly turned its head.
It knew it was facing two first-tier Legendaries and began thinking about how to respond.
In the short term, it did not have to worry about falling.
Legendaries were all thick-skinned and able to take hits.
During this time, Regigigas felt it had enough time to think of a countermeasure.
"Oh, this Regigigas really is relaxed. Even while being tangled up by Groudon and Kyogre, it still has the leisure to think. As expected of a Pokémon that once fought Arceus. Although it lost and was brutally weakened, its old presence hasn't faded."
As a Pokémon capable of dragging continents, Grey felt that Regigigas truly had real strength.
After all, in the movie, Regigigas had led a group of Mamoswine and forcefully held the Reverse World in place when it was about to affect reality.
It even showed signs of being able to push it back.
Just that alone was enough to show how terrifying Regigigas was.
After all, what modern online fans criticized was Regigigas's Ability, Slow Start.
Regigigas's own raw power was something everyone acknowledged.
It had simply been affected by a negative Ability.
"Mr. Grey, aren't you worried that Groudon and Kyogre will lose?" Ash could not help asking Grey, who looked like he was enjoying the chaos, especially after seeing Regigigas seem ready to crush Pokémon right there on the battlefield.
"Not worried. I still have trump cards on my side."
Grey took out the Red Orb and Blue Orb.
These were the orbs that could let the two living memes, Groudon and Kyogre, enter Primal Reversion.
Once the two of them truly fell into a disadvantage, Grey would show Regigigas what raw stats looked like.
"Right, Ash, what Pokémon have you caught right now?"
Grey was curious about the current Ash.
He wanted to see what Pokémon Ash had at this point.
"Me? The partners currently traveling with me are Pikachu, Frogadier, Fletchinder, and Hawlucha."
Just like the Kalos-era Ash.
He only had these Pokémon.
He would probably fill out the team of six later.
The remaining slots would be Goodra and Noivern.
"Ash, if I gave you a little advice, would you be willing to listen?"
Grey took this opportunity to ask Ash.
"Advice? For me?"
During their brief conversation, Ash had already learned that Grey was a strong and knowledgeable Trainer.
Hearing that Grey wanted to give him advice, Ash was genuinely curious about what kind of advice Grey would give him.
"This Frogadier will eventually evolve into Greninja. As for its moveset, I think it could learn U-turn, Liquidation, or Night Slash."
Grey knew that Ash's Greninja's moveset was mainly based on a "ninja" style.
Since that was the case, he would recommend a few moves based on that same "ninja" idea.
Hurry up and replace that damn Cut already!
A same-type move like U-turn or Night Slash would be better than Cut!
"Also, weather has a major effect on the power of moves. In rain, use Water-type moves or Thunder. In harsh sunlight, use Fire-type moves or Solar Beam. Do you understand?"
Although these were basic facts so simple that they could not get any more basic, Grey still explained them earnestly like a nagging parent.
"U-turn, Liquidation, and Night Slash, right? I understand. Thank you for the advice, Mr. Grey."
Ash also took Grey's move recommendations to heart.
Later, he would see which move Frogadier used most smoothly, then go with that one.
Yes, the decision was in Frogadier's hands.
"Whew."
Seeing Ash nod, Grey did not care whether Ash had really understood.
He hoped he would get to see Ash win a championship later.
Please do not let people say you got left hanging by Lysandre at the peak of Kalos again.
At present…
Aside from Regigigas and Giratina, the battle on Zygarde's side was also intense.
Zygarde, having entered its 100% Forme, transformed into a giant mech-like figure. Its Core Enforcer clashed against Kyurem's Glaciate!
"Heh. As the observer of this planet, you were actually controlled by a tiny Mythical Pokémon!
"Zygarde, you really are too weak!"
Kyurem was currently in White Kyurem form. Facing Zygarde, it did not hide its mockery at all.
You could be controlled by Hoopa? You really weren't good enough!
You were supposed to be the third Legendary of a region. How could you be this much of a rookie?
"Heh…"
Zygarde could only spit out one word. Black aura erupted from its entire body, and something about it looked wrong.
In an instant, Zygarde, still in its giant-mech state, flew high into the sky.
"Hahaha! Didn't expect this, did you? Zygarde can Mega Evolve!"
Hoopa Unbound, hiding in the back, used its golden rings to draw Mega power from all over and pour it into Zygarde, forcibly creating a Mega Evolution!
Zygarde was under its control. Even if Zygarde did not want to Mega Evolve, it had no say in the matter!
"Zygarde is going to Mega Evolve?!"
Kyurem directly told Grey the news.
Grey raised an eyebrow.
Zygarde could Mega Evolve in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
But didn't that Mega Evolution seem to require the Zygardite created under the influence of Ange?
How had Hoopa Unbound managed to force it out?
Hmm…
Since this was another space-time, it was actually pretty reasonable.
But Grey would not just sit there and wait.
If Zygarde successfully Mega Evolved and released its ultimate move, Nihil Light, then the Kalos region would be in deep trouble.
That thing was not something normal Pokémon could take.
Not to mention that after Mega Evolving, Zygarde's base Special Attack would surge to 216.
Its signature move, Nihil Light, had 200 power, ignored stat boosts, and even ignored Fairy-type Pokémon's immunity.
If that was converted into the real world, it would be beyond ridiculous!
Furthermore, Zygarde was being controlled and could not actively control the power of its own moves.
If Hoopa Unbound decided to take them all down with it…
Leaving aside the entire world, at the very least, more than half of the Kalos region would be destroyed!
Thinking of that, Grey took out his Key Stone and prepared to Mega Evolve.
At present, there were two Legendary Pokémon that could Mega Evolve with him.
Mewtwo and Rayquaza.
Then there was no need to think about it.
He would obviously Mega Evolve Rayquaza!
As for Mewtwo…
Well, keep training with your counterattack spirit for a while longer before coming back.
"Rayquaza, Mega Evolve!"
Grey clenched the Key Stone tightly.
"Rooar!"
Rayquaza let out a furious roar and directly entered its Mega Evolution state.
At the same time, the Red Orb and Blue Orb returned to Groudon and Kyogre, allowing them to enter Primal Reversion!
After Primal Reversion, Groudon and Kyogre grinned at Regigigas.
Each of them unleashed their moves and directly knocked Regigigas unconscious.
Once that was done, the two living memes also opened a path for their boss, Rayquaza.
Yveltal and Xerneas tried to stop them.
Groudon and Kyogre exchanged a glance.
Heh.
The battle was decided in an instant.
Yveltal and Xerneas were no match for Groudon and Kyogre at all, and they chose to tap out.
As soon as they exchanged blows, they knew they had absolutely no ability to fight back.
There was no point in continuing!
For a moment, the battlefield seemed to have turned into a Hoenn showcase.
In the Kalos region, Kalos-region Legendary Pokémon were being beaten up.
No matter how you looked at it, wasn't that kind of wrong?
"Rayquaza, can you stop Zygarde?"
Grey increased the output of his Aura and communicated with Rayquaza in his mind.
"All I can say is, I'll try."
This was also Rayquaza's first time battling a Mega Evolved Zygarde.
To be honest, it was actually quite nervous.
Originally, it had been the only first-tier Legendary that could Mega Evolve. How had Zygarde suddenly gained that ability too?
At least in their original world, Rayquaza truly had no idea Zygarde possessed this ability.
After all, the birthplace of Mega Evolution was the Hoenn region.
"Zygarde!"
Zygarde let out a roar. A sound like an eggshell cracking echoed through the sky, and the rainbow-colored light scattered in response.
Crash!
Zygarde's appearance changed greatly.
Its actual overall look had not changed too much.
It was just that the wings on its shoulders now stood upright, supporting a black "pillar." Its body had turned green, with only a small number of black hexagonal scales remaining.
That black pillar gathered energy. The light radiating from it made people instinctively cover their eyes.
"Rayquaza, use Dragon Ascent! Kyurem, use Freezing Flare! Reshiram, Blue Flare! Groudon, Precipice Blades! Kyogre, Origin Pulse! Mewtwo, Psystrike!"
Grey commanded six Pokémon to attack all at once.
And every move they released was their strongest move!
