"This…"
Meanwhile, up on the far hill, Dawn and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Serena's eyes were wide as she stared at those seven Legendary Pokémon exuding overwhelming presence.
Right now, the entire world was filled with their terrifying pressure.
"That Hoopa Unbound… it can summon Legendary Pokémon too?!"
Baraz's heart sank.
It felt like his soul was dropping straight into a valley.
And it looked like the Legendary Pokémon it summoned were also being controlled by it.
How do you even fight this?
"Mr. Damian—are you sure he's okay?"
Even though Serena knew Damian was insanely, ridiculously strong, she still couldn't help worrying like crazy right now.
"Don't worry."
"Damian never fights without preparation."
"In a situation like this, I'm sure he's already expected it."
Caitlin was also shocked, but she still clung to her belief in Damian.
From the moment they first met until now—
she had never seen Damian fall into some so-called "unwinnable situation."
Today… it would definitely be like that too.
"That's right."
"Trust Mr. Damian."
"He'll win!"
Dawn also trusted Damian a lot.
"Hm."
"Damian is someone Arceus looked down upon and gifted."
"He won't fail so easily."
And then…
Baraz calmed down too.
He chose to trust Damian as well.
Besides…
if it really came to the point where there was no way back, they still had their final trump card: Prison Bottle!
Over on the battlefield—
"Humans, hurry up and send me back!"
Kyurem was still being urged on.
It had no intention of getting involved in this battle, in its eyes, with no chance of winning.
Besides, this matter had nothing to do with it, right?
"Kyurem, am I seeing you wrong?"
Damian raised a brow.
"I know Kyurem."
"That's not a dragon that bullies weaklings."
"Heh~ What I think of you, what does it have to do with you?"
Kyurem only sneered.
"Of course it doesn't have anything to do with me."
"But I honestly didn't expect that the top-of-the-world Kyurem—"
"would just be a coward dragon that retreats when it sees a strong enemy."
Damian said calmly.
Kyurem's golden, brutal dragon eyes immediately changed.
It stared at Damian with fierce focus.
"Humans, if you're just trying to anger me with words…"
"then congratulations—you succeeded."
Kyurem's Telepathy was extremely deep.
"Even if I help you…"
"how are we supposed to win against that lineup?"
"By this Shiny Rayquaza?"
"Or that one over there?"
"Or that trash Reshiram?"
Kyurem's dragon eyes glanced toward Shiny Rayquaza.
Shiny Rayquaza was strong—Kyurem admitted that.
And Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y over there…
its aura and presence were indeed strong too.
So what now?
As for Kyurem's own internal state—
even if it could still rely on a little leftover Zekrom Zekrom genes to transform into the White dark form…
so what?
Not to mention what it used to be like.
Even if it absorbed the complete dragon forms of Zekrom and Reshiram…
it still wasn't enough to turn the tide.
Huh?
Seeing Kyurem mock itself even now, Reshiram got mad—right on cue.
Well.
It didn't dare to spit at Kyurem.
Otherwise, that hot-tempered Kyurem would really dare to take action against it.
"Naturally."
"But do you really think I'll have no preparation at all?"
Damian let out a light chuckle.
He opened an Ultra Ball in his hand.
Roar—
a hoarse draconic bellow sounded.
The legendary Creator berserk avatar—
Origin Forme Giratina twisted that monstrous, centipede-like savage dragon body into view above.
Cold and vicious dragon eyes locked onto the seven Legendary Pokémon across the way.
Is… Giratina?!
Kyurem and Shiny Rayquaza's eyes shifted slightly.
"Humans, you actually caught Giratina."
Shiny Rayquaza couldn't help sounding surprised.
Nice.
It realized this humans really was a treasure.
Every time they met, it brought at least some shocking surprise.
"Mae—impressive!"
Mischief Hoopa clapped as well.
Now that it mentioned it…
among the Legendary Pokémon it used to be a little afraid to "mess with," there had been Giratina.
Yeah.
Because Giratina was too dark.
And it held grudges to an extreme degree.
Hoopa didn't dare offend it.
Otherwise, if Giratina was watching you in the Reverse World every day…
who could stand that?
The key was—
it didn't just "watch."
It also ambushed.
"Ah~ We got Giratina's recognition by luck."
"So we're like-minded partners."
Damian was very humble.
"Tsk~"
Shiny Rayquaza clicked its tongue.
Its long dragon tail flicked lightly.
"But even with Giratina's help…"
"we still don't have much winning odds."
"My wife's combat power is only just a little behind mine."
"As for the weakest one on your side…"
Shiny Rayquaza scanned the opposing lineup.
Especially when it saw its wife, Mega Rayquaza.
Even though Shiny Rayquaza always claimed it was the strongest Rayquaza—
the wife's combat power was also shockingly strong.
Back then, the one that suppressed Groudon and Kyogre—
was it.
And it easily kicked them out of Primal Reversion.
"Looks like it's Dialga."
In the end, Shiny Rayquaza's vision froze on Dialga.
Who would've believed?
One of the Sono mono "Six Spirits"—Dialga—
actually ended up being the one holding everyone back.
But reality was reality.
Without its Origin Forme, Dialga was now the weakest one in the opposing lineup.
"Leave that to Kyogre."
Damian threw another Cherish Ball.
The legendary deep-sea king spread its wings and soared.
When it saw the situation on the other side, Kyogre's eyes changed too.
"Kyogre, you can handle holding Dialga, right?"
Damian asked Kyogre.
Kyogre coolly nodded.
Golden light flashed over its body.
It transformed into its Primal Reversion form.
Damian believed its Primal Kyogre could at least slightly suppress Dialga—since this was Dialga in Normal Forme.
After all, Dialga didn't have its Origin Forme.
Its combat power wasn't that exaggerated.
Actually, sending Primal Kyogre to hold Dialga wasn't only for that.
It was also to prevent Dialga from using the "Temporal" power to cause trouble for their side.
Because Dialga's "Temporal" ability for interference was really useful.
"And the hardest six pieces of bone."
Damian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Hoopa Unbound, Origin Forme Palkia, Mega Rayquaza, Shadow Rider Calyrex, Complete Forme Zygarde, Stellar Form Terapagos.
None of these six were easy to deal with.
"Humans, since you've decided to fight…"
"and you want me to help…"
"why don't you hand Reshiram to me?"
Kyurem's deep Telepathy rang out.
"What?!"
Reshiram's heart jolted.
Damn it—this cursed Kyurem was still lusting after its body.
"If Reshiram returns, my combat power will increase drastically."
"That'll give us a few more chances to win."
Kyurem's cold golden dragon eyes swept across Origin Forme Palkia and Complete Forme Zygarde.
It didn't bring up sending it back anymore.
First, because Damian's provoking.
Kyurem knew Damian was deliberately baiting it.
But no matter what—
Proud Kyurem really did buy into it.
Second, it thought—
if these humans were so confident…
then maybe their side really did have some chance too.
If a battle like this could be won—
even for Kyurem, it would be a moment worth remembering.
"I've already considered that."
"But Kyurem—Reshiram is my Pokémon."
Damian patted Reshiram on the body.
He gestured for it to not worry.
Hearing that, Reshiram let out a sigh of relief.
As expected, Damian was the best hero!!
"You can rest assured."
"If I really had any intention of eating Reshiram…"
"I wouldn't waste time talking to you."
Kyurem said coldly.
"Last time, when I lost to you, I said I'd spare Reshiram and Zekrom."
"I won't go back on my word."
"Fine."
"Not only Reshiram…"
"I'll also temporarily hand Zekrom to you."
Damian replied.
Reshiram: "???"
"Really?"
Kyurem was also very surprised.
"I trust your reputation, Kyurem."
"When you say yes, it's yes."
"When you say no, it's no."
That's right.
Once he found out about the Hoopa incident starting, he already made preparations.
So he specifically borrowed Zekrom from N.
He was using it as "fusion material" for Kyurem.
"Hmph—!"
Kyurem's golden dragon eyes shimmered faintly.
It snorted and said nothing.
Still…
it felt a little off in its heart.
"Come out."
Damian threw Ultra Balls and Poké Balls.
Yveltal and Zekrom appeared.
The moment Yveltal appeared, it immediately sensed the aura across the way.
Seeing the feathers on those seven Pokémon almost standing on end—
it really wanted to curse.
This Trainer of "mine"—
this one really knew how to cause trouble, huh?
As for Zekrom—
the moment it saw Kyurem on their side, it immediately understood why Damian had intentionally borrowed it from N.
Zekrom glared at Damian with grievance.
It had to report back to N.
How could it be so easily borrowed like this?
Damian got on Yveltal and gave Zekrom a simple briefing on the current situation.
Big picture first.
You'll have to feel wronged.
With those eight words—
Zekrom had no choice but to agree with a sigh.
Kyurem, however, didn't show any politeness.
DNA Splicers' beams fired instantly, plunging directly into Zekrom and Reshiram's bodies.
In the blink of an eye—
the two Dragon forms turned into light orbs and got swallowed in by Kyurem.
The next second, black-and-white light on Kyurem went absolutely wild with shimmering.
Flames and lightning kept boiling and sizzling without stopping.
Roar—!!
Along with a dominating presence draconic bellow—
Dragon Kyurem appeared again, fully, in all its splendor.
"How does it feel, Kyurem?"
Damian looked at Dragon Kyurem and nodded in satisfaction.
"I've got everything I need!"
Dragon Kyurem's battle intent was blazing.
Its dragon eyes were fierce and unyielding.
Its oppressive aura was terrifyingly strong.
Shiny Rayquaza refused to back down.
It rose high into the sky.
Mega Evolution's light flashed.
Mega Evolution!
That gorgeous, incomparable ripple of light stretched in length, matching its body.
Imperious dragon eyes stared straight at the seven legendary presences opposite it.
"Rayquaza."
Damian threw yet another Ultra Ball.
Little Rayquaza appeared.
"Dad…"
"Mother—she…"
The moment Little Rayquaza came out, it first spotted Shiny Rayquaza.
Then it saw Mega Rayquaza on the other side.
It froze.
"Your mother has been controlled."
"Her mind is under someone's evil control."
"Rayquaza, this time I need your power to rescue her."
Damian told Little Rayquaza.
"What? Damn it!"
Little Rayquaza was extremely angry.
"Mega Evolve first."
"Alright!"
Even though Damian hadn't really paid much attention to Little Rayquaza, so it hadn't learned Dragon Ascent yet…
Little Rayquaza still trusted Damian more than enough.
Damian had already made it able to Mega Evolve.
Damian raised a Key Stone.
Mega Evolution light flared up on Little Rayquaza.
A second Mega Rayquaza appeared—fully, in all its glory!
Seeing this, Shiny Rayquaza nodded.
Even if Little Rayquaza was a bit of a drag…
it was still young.
So Shiny Rayquaza could only hope it would prove itself later.
Maybe after this super high-intensity battle ended today…
Little Rayquaza would finally have an epiphany.
"Great!"
"Then I'll be counting on you all today!"
Two Mega Rayquaza—one green, one black—alongside Dragon Kyurem, Origin Forme Giratina, and Primal Kyogre stood side by side.
And underneath them was Yveltal.
The black-haired boy, brimming with confidence—
was already standing in the sky!
"Right now, at this moment!"
"It's the peak!"
"Beat them."
"And in this world, there won't be anyone we can't defeat!"
And at this moment, out in the Kalos sea area—
a Ho-Oh was flapping its wings non-stop, rushing toward a location that someone had given.
Ho-Oh really wanted to swear.
Every time it was like this—so far.
Was it tired of flying or what?
"Damn it!"
"Damian......"
