It possesses a gigantic silver body, pure enough to reflect light, without a trace of rust, and appears very beautiful.
But the Melmetal in front of them is covered in rust, its metallic luster completely faded, with a large, dark hole corroded into its giant silver fist, giving the impression of lifelessness.
"This is it," Sonia murmured.
Naoki nodded gently.
Calyrex gazed at Melmetal, then slowly floated forward, attempting to use its Healing Power to assist in treating it.
Yet there was no effect.
At that moment, Melmetal seemed to sense something and slowly opened its eyes.
It lifted its head and saw the familiar figure floating before it.
Melmetal was momentarily stunned, was it dreaming?
But soon, it realized it was not dreaming; Calyrex in front of it was real!
After a brief daze, Melmetal quickly regained its composure, anxiously asking: "Lu?!"
Calyrex gently shook its head: "Crown moojie."
"Lu..." Melmetal appeared very uneasy.
Sonia watched this scene and couldn't help but ask, "What are they saying?"
"Melmetal is asking Calyrex if the Darkest Day is over," Naoki's voice came from the side.
Upon hearing this, Sonia was slightly startled, Darkest Day? Is it referring to Eternatus?
This Melmetal, on the verge of passing away, is still concerned about the disaster enveloping the Galar Region, and its first words were to inquire if the Darkest Day has ended...
Sonia couldn't help but feel a bit saddened.
Naoki stepped forward and then took out Life Sheep Milk from the ranch and Ho-oh's Holy Ash, trying to feed them to Melmetal.
Only then did Melmetal notice a human beside it.
Calyrex looked at it and said: "Eat them!"
Melmetal opened its mouth, allowing Naoki to use the milk and ash on it.
But the combination only restored a bit of Melmetal's spirit, making its speech less weak, yet it did not change its condition.
Naoki was slightly puzzled, "What's going on?"
Is the Holy Ash and milk ineffective?
At that moment, Calyrex's voice came: "Its body is not injured; it's just that life is reaching its end, and such things probably have no effect."
Melmetal continued to cast its gaze upon Calyrex.
"Lu..." (I can no longer help you...)
Calyrex felt a heavy heart: "You need not worry, for I have already found a way to completely defeat the Darkest Day."
Calyrex signaled Naoki through telepathy.
Naoki then spoke: "Rest assured, Melmetal, Zacian and Zamazenta are ready, and we've also gathered many powerful Pokemon; the Darkest Day is about to end."
Calyrex nodded affirmatively.
Melmetal had complete trust in Calyrex, muttering: "Lu..." (That's great... I'll leave everything to you then...)
With those words, Melmetal's body relaxed, as if the deep worry in its heart was relieved.
The next moment, a beam of silver light shone on its massive body.
Within the glowing light, Melmetal slowly disassembled, leaving rusty metal fragments scattered on the ground.
Having learned that the Darkest Day was about to end, it passed away peacefully.
Calyrex showed a sorrowful expression; even as the former ruler of the Galar Region, it couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.
In this world, nothing is more heartbreaking than witnessing the passing of a companion.
But suddenly, a radiant light emerged from the rusty metal fragments.
Calyrex: "?! Nani?!"
Within the light, the mottled rust on the metal slowly dissipated, and the metal seemed to turn into a jelly-like liquid, trembling gently.
In Calyrex's surprised gaze, a golden nut suddenly emerged from the top of the liquid metal, with a black floating eye in the center.
A moment later, there was a large swarm of petite, soft-silver-bodied, golden-nut-headed Pokemon before Naoki and Calyrex.
"Woo woo woo～!"
These Pokemon made innocent and naive growls, then looked up collectively at Naoki and Calyrex.
Calyrex: "?!"
