On the other side, Axel had already brought Ash and Zeraora to the place where they first arrived.
Eva was still reading inside the small house Axel had built. Nihilego and Regirock were guarding the door and the window separately.
"Nihi~", Seeing Axel, Nihilego immediately cried out, waving its limbs around as it tried to describe what had happened not long ago.
"You're saying you ran into people from this place and knocked them down?"
"It's fine. As long as you're safe, that's what matters," Axel patted Nihilego on the head, comforting the little guy.
Anyway, he was bound to fight the people of Ultra Megalopolis sooner or later. Whether it happened early or late made no difference.
Even if he had already obtained the key to Megalo Tower, Axel didn't believe the people of the city would obediently let him in.
"Eva, come out! I want to introduce you to a friend!"
"Okay, okay!", When Eva came out, she was holding a Rotom, which she had turned into a tablet form, scribbling and drawing on it.
"So this is the boy you just went to find?", Eva looked at Ash and Zeraora curiously.
"Someone from the Pokémon world and even a Pokémon actually came to this world."
"Ultra Wormholes really are something amazing. No wonder Professor Burnet treats Ultra Wormholes as a research subject."
After sighing in amazement, Eva generously reached out her hand to Ash. With Axel's introduction, the two of them briefly got acquainted.
As for Zeraora, it still looked aloof, arms crossed over its chest the whole time. Aside from reacting a little when Axel touched its tail, it barely moved.
"Haha, what a cute kitty~ Oh right, Axel, with Nihilego's help just now, I've roughly figured out where mom and dad are."
As she spoke, Eva let Rotom float in midair on its own and pointed at the rough sketch she had drawn.
"This black dot represents Blacklight Forest, which is where we arrived."
"The city icon to the west is Ultra Megalopolis and Megalo Tower. Of course, I just set this direction for convenience. Since there's no sun or moon here, they might not even have the concept of direction."
After a brief explanation, she continued pointing at the screen, "These two sun and moon icons in the east represent two temples, corresponding to the twin deities of the sun and moon, Solgaleo and Lunala."
"Of course, the two gods aren't living in the temples right now. They're both staying by Mom and Dad's side."
"Even though we don't know the exact location, based on my guess…"
As she spoke, Eva drew a circle at the center between the two temples, "They should be right here!"
"Nice!", Axel gave her a thumbs-up. He had thought she came along just to see their parents sooner.
He didn't expect her to go from someone who used to have zero sense of direction to someone who could hand-draw a map like a genius.
Without hesitation, Axel released Gyarados, picked up Eva, and leaped onto its back. At the same time, he waved at Ash and Zeraora.
"In that case, let's set off!"
———
Ultra Wormhole, the central area between the Sun and Moon Temples.
Lunala and Solgaleo were lying on the grass, resting lazily.
Behind them, a small sun was shining brightly. Under its light, tens of thousands of Ultra Beasts had formed a small settlement.
At the center of them, several Stakataka had joined together to form a house for Dawn Wood and Dusk Wood to live in.
Inside the house—
Dawn looked at the stone slab in front of him with the words "Plan to Ambush Necrozma" carved on it, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Honey, isn't this battle plan a bit too crazy?"
"Solgaleo and Lunala's power is getting stronger and stronger. They can already maintain day and night within a small range."
"You've seen the Ultra Beasts outside. Many of them were drawn here by the light."
"At this rate, more and more Ultra Beasts will gather on our side. Wouldn't it be better to wait until things are completely stable before going to take down Necrozma?"
"No!", Dusk shot Dawn a sharp look, "We finally figured out Necrozma's pattern and found out that it's asleep. We have to strike as soon as possible."
"It was one thing when we didn't know what Axel was thinking. We could've just taken it slow."
"But Axel said that if he got the chance, he would come here to support us. Do you even know how dangerous this world is?"
"What if Axel comes to this world and runs into the people of the city first? What if he gets captured by them?"
"We have to take down Necrozma as soon as possible. Only by completely subduing it can the Ultra Wormhole have peace."
"I, Dusk, will never let that guy threaten our son!"
"Alright…", Seeing his wife speak to this extent, Dawn took a deep breath and decided to go through with it.
Even though he still felt the timing wasn't right, her words struck him deeply.
For their child's safety, even if it meant taking more risks, there was no other choice.
"When the time comes, Solgaleo and I will still act as the main force and block Megalo Tower where Necrozma is."
"Solgaleo's typing gives it strong resistance against Necrozma. Even in a one-on-one fight, it should be able to hold out for more than three hours."
"During that time, you and Lunala will lead the Ultra Beasts to attack Ultra Megalopolis. Use the effect of Shadow of Light to ignore the enemy's abilities and break through the city's defenses."
"It would be best if you can seize the Ultra Recon Squad's energy source and prevent the impact of their high-tech weapons."
"Okay!", Seeing how orderly her husband was arranging everything, Dusk broke into a wide grin.
"But there's one thing in your plan that's not right. Mind if I point it out?"
Dawn went over the plan again in his head and couldn't find anything wrong, so he looked at his wife.
"Isn't everything fine?"
"There is something wrong!", Dusk pointed at the tall tower drawn on the stone slab, her eyes serious.
"The Ultra Beasts have already experienced the alternation of day and night here. They've developed some loyalty to us."
"What I'm thinking is, let them go destroy Ultra Megalopolis on their own. I'll go to Megalo Tower with you directly."
"We'll gather the power of Solgaleo and Lunala together and try to suppress Necrozma inside Megalo Tower."
"I won't let my son fall into danger, and I won't let my husband risk his life alone for the two of us!"
"Th…", Dawn paused. He wanted to argue, but for a moment, he couldn't find a single reason to refute her.
Just as he was thinking about how to keep Dusk off the front lines, a sudden commotion broke out among the Ultra Beasts outside.
In the sky above, space was suddenly torn apart, erupting with a fierce dragon's roar.
