In the vast, endless desert, fierce waves of terror churned everywhere.
Dialga vs Primal Kyogre , Complete Forme Zygarde vs Dragon Kyurem ,Shadow Rider Calyrexvs Mega Shadow mewtwo y , Shiny Rayquaza vs Mega Rayquaza .
Across the battlefield, both sides were locked in intense close-quarters clashes.
That scene—like something out of an epic—made Caitlin and the others far away tremble with fear.
"Damian… is he really this strong?"
Meray was honestly so shocked its whole brain felt like it had gone blank.
That Hoopa Unbound—and the six Legendary Pokémon it summoned—was terror-level terrifying already.
Yet Damian could actually handle it???
"Mr. Damian… number one in the world."
Serena's heartfelt, true admiration came right from her.
Even though she'd always known Mr. Damian could coordinate a team this powerful, and his own strength had to be very, very strong—
this… was just too much!
"Hehe~ Mr. Damian is the strongest! No one can beat him!"
Dawn's refined little face broke into a flower-like smile, and she was extremely happy.
She knew Mr. Damian could do it!
In this world, who was there that could possibly compare to Mr. Damian?
Maybe for others, this would be a situation that could only lead to deep, deep despair—
but for Mr. Damian—he could do it!!
Caitlin held a faint, gentle smile.
Her eyes didn't blink as she stared at the man riding on Yveltal's back.
...
Hoopa Unbound saw that most of the Legendary Pokémon it had pulled over were being delayed, and it let out an enraged roar.
Stellar Form Terapagos let out a low hum.
Its top crystal location lit up with dazzling, gorgeous light.
Dense, star-like light specks blasted out in countless numbers and surged toward Yveltal.
Stellar Form Terapagos's signature moves — Starstorm !
"Rayquaza!"
Damian gave the order to little Rayquaza.
"Roar!!"
Seeing that it was finally its turn to take the stage, little Rayquaza let out roars full of a dominating presence.
Its gorgeous, long body shot out instantly.
A pure and refined Dragon Pulse met Starstorm head-on.
Boom!
Dragon Pulse clashed violently with the incoming Starstorm and crashed together.
But just as you could clearly see—
little Rayquaza's Dragon Pulse was quickly suppressed by Starstorm.
It kept getting pushed back, step by step.
Clearly, even with Mega Evolution, little Rayquaza's strength was still not on par with Stellar Form Terapagos.
little Rayquaza noticed this too.
It clenched down hard on its teeth, and crazily squeezed out every last bit of power.
Dragon Pulse suddenly swelled explosively by about another circle.
Boom!
The two attacks detonated and exploded apart.
A violent surge of energy blast directly shoved little Rayquaza back a distance.
little Rayquaza forced itself to steady its dragon body and stared at Stellar Form Terapagos with a grim, heavy look.
Damn…
Why was this Terapagos's strength so insanely strong?
"Not bad, Rayquaza. You didn't disappoint me."
Damian praised it without holding back at all.
At the very least, it had blocked Stellar Form Terapagos's one strike, right?
"Awesome job, Rayquaza!"
Mischief Hoopa immediately jumped in with flattery.
"Of course! You really can always count on me, Damian!"
little Rayquaza's face crumpled into a smile so wide it practically cracked.
Because in its heart, Damian—the human—was already completely not an ordinary person.
Damian's praise still carried a lot of value.
But the attack wasn't done.
Stellar Form Terapagos refused to stop.
While it moved closer to little Rayquaza, that top crystal on it shone again.
Seeing that, little Rayquaza went fully on guard.
This Terapagos's strength was extremely strong!
But just then—
a Spatial rings appeared silently beneath little Rayquaza's body.
"Careful! Rayquaza! Below!"
Damian immediately reminded little Rayquaza.
What?
little Rayquaza lowered its head.
It saw a gigantic fist wrapped in black light smashing violently toward its abdomen.
Hoopa Unbound's Hyperspace Fury!
little Rayquaza was furious.
This was an ambush!
In an instant, little Rayquaza shot upward, trying to dodge.
Even so, little Rayquaza's speed was still extremely fast.
It tilted its body and barely—barely—dodged Hoopa Unbound's ambush strike.
But ahead—
those dazzling, beautiful star-like light particles were already swooping in toward little Rayquaza.
Stellar Form Terapagos's Starstorm!
And this time, little Rayquaza didn't have time to dodge.
Boom! Boom!
Starstorm crazily hammered into little Rayquaza's body.
Under Stellar Form, the Starstorm's power was very high.
little Rayquaza let out a pained low roar.
Its whole body was blasted away, sent flying by the Starstorm that just kept coming.
But it still wasn't over.
Two Spatial rings appeared at the location where little Rayquaza had tumbled and landed.
This was Hoopa Unbound's Gold ring!
"Wings of Death! Wait—dodge!"
Damian was about to have Yveltal send reinforcements.
But a deep, bone-chilling chill suddenly surged through him.
Damian spoke to Yveltal immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Planning to use Wings of Death—
Yveltal instantly dove downward.
Boom!
A huge fist blasted out from the Spatial rings.
But because Yveltal dodged in time, it wasn't hit.
Hoopa Unbound roared in anger.
But over on little Rayquaza's side—
it was going to have a terrible time.
Hoopa Unbound's two fists slammed down hard onto little Rayquaza.
That overwhelming, crushing Hyperspace Fury made little Rayquaza let out another pained low cry.
Its entire body was smashed into the sand like a backwards-fired cannonball, kicking up an extremely tall wave of sand.
"Ugh—"
Stellar Form Terapagos let out another low hum.
Starstorm poured out like it didn't cost anything, blasting straight onto little Rayquaza's location where it had just fallen.
Hoopa Unbound's chest emptiness also condensed a huge black sphere.
Black-wave energy shot out into the air.
Boom! Boom!
Under those violent explosions, the entire sandfield trembled hard.
Sand waves collapsed nonstop.
And in the very center of the blast—
little Rayquaza had already exited Mega Evolution and passed out.
little Rayquaza lost the ability to fight.
"Ah! Rayquaza's finished!"
Mischief Hoopa let out a panicked, sorrowful cry.
Seeing this, Damian squinted.
He took out an Ultra Ball and recalled little Rayquaza.
He truly didn't expect it.
Just moments ago, little Rayquaza had been telling him, "Damian You Can Always Count on Me."
Then, in the blink of an eye, it got wiped out by a four-hit combo.
"This is kind of interesting."
Damian opened another Ultra Ball again.
Shadow Lugia appeared right in front of him.
Its blood-red eyes stared at Hoopa Unbound and Stellar Form Terapagos like a demon.
Luckily there was Shadow Lugia.
And by counting the time—
Ho-Oh should be coming soon too.
"This Gold ring…"
"this guy really used it to the absolute limit."
Damian clicked his tongue.
No denying it—Hoopa Unbound's use of Spatial rings was just too outstanding.
Hyperspace Fury was a Move that was extremely flexible and forceful.
Because the principle of Hyperspace Fury was simple:
it used Spatial rings to let its Ability appear anywhere, then cross distance and location for surprise ambushes.
Just now, Hoopa Unbound was doing exactly that.
And it could freely control the number of Gold rings it used—
corresponding to different locations, distances, and directions—
to use Hyperspace Fury.
It was basically like it had cheats enabled.
"Damian, what do we do?!"
Mischief Hoopa clung tightly to Damian.
little Rayquaza's loss was, without a doubt, not something anyone could say was a good thing—really not.
"It's fine. Don't worry."
Damian simply and quickly checked the other battlefields too.
Dragon Kyurem was currently pounding Complete Forme Zygarde.
That was the match with the biggest advantage.
Origin Forme Giratina was also suppressing Origin Forme Palkia right now.
Even though it had already become Origin Forme—
it was very clear that Origin Forme Palkia still wasn't Giratina's opponent.
The two Rayquaza were still locked in a tense, difficult-to-separate fight.
Damian glanced over.
But it wasn't surprising.
After all, Mega Rayquaza was Shiny Rayquaza's wife.
Shiny Rayquaza couldn't help leaving a bit of room for its subordinates—totally normal.
As for Mega Shadow mewtwo y and Primal Kyogre on this side—
right now it was still a stalemate.
Both sides had a bit of advantage from Gloria, sure, but it wasn't much.
Trying to quickly solve the opponent and bring help in a short time was unrealistic.
"Have Kyurem and Giratina handle reinforcements on those two sides."
Damian looked at Hoopa Unbound and Stellar Form Terapagos across from him.
Neither of those two was simple.
To beat them, you still had to wait for Dragon Kyurem and the others to come in as reinforcements—then it would actually be a fight you could win.
"Disappear!!"
Hoopa Unbound roared wildly in anger.
Stellar Form Terapagos instantly launched an attack.
Still the same crystal-like dazzling light.
Starstorm shot toward its target like stars in the sky.
"darkness storm!"
Shadow Lugia cried out.
It flapped its wings hard.
Black hurricane winds howled out and collided head-on with Starstorm.
The black winds roared wildly, forcibly blocking Starstorm's impact.
But taking this chance—
Stellar Form Terapagos had already closed in to the front.
At the same time, one Spatial rings after another completely surrounded Yveltal.
Yveltal's eyes were cold and sharp.
It immediately flapped its wings and started charging straight toward the gaps in the Gold ring.
One after another, strong Demon god severed arms reached out from the Spatial rings and attacked Yveltal.
"Dark Pulse!"
Black energy shimmered around Yveltal.
Dark Aura activated.
A black wave of energy fired from Yveltal's mouth and hit the arm grabbing in from the side.
Hoopa Unbound winced in pain.
That arm paused for a moment.
Yveltal instantly accelerated out of the surrounded area.
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Hoopa Unbound roared in anger.
Stellar Form Terapagos attacked again.
Shadow Lugia could only keep blocking.
It couldn't spare the time to protect Yveltal anymore.
And when Hoopa Unbound saw this, it immediately dove into the Spatial rings in front of it.
It appeared right in front of Yveltal.
"This guy…"
"is so relentless."
Damian's sharp brows creased slightly as he watched the huge demon god across the way.
"Make it disappear!!"
Hoopa Unbound's blood-red glowing eyes shimmered with terror, locking onto Mischief Hoopa as it roared.
"I'm not disappearing! If anything, it should be you that disappears!"
Mischief Hoopa, who had been scared a moment ago, instantly got furious.
It yelled right back at Hoopa Unbound in that adorable kid voice.
Hoopa Unbound's anger flared even more.
The dense hatred around it was creepy.
The six enormous Demon god severed arms twisted and swung.
Its eyes' psychic blue glow shimmered unpredictably.
One after another, massive sand-dust dragon tornadoes stretched from the sky to the earth.
Under Hoopa Unbound's control, they surged toward Yveltal.
This was one of the psychic applications Hoopa Unbound had used for itself for a hundred years.
It used a massive amount of psychic power to deliberately rip apart tornadoes, essentially creating the whirlwind dragon cyclone storms artificially.
"Run!"
Damian didn't hesitate at all.
He gave the order to Yveltal.
Yveltal turned around and ran without hesitation.
Even though those three huge tornadoes could be broken by its Wings of Death—
Hoopa Unbound could still take the opportunity to ambush with the Gold ring directly.
Yveltal's flight speed was actually fast.
But it couldn't stop Hoopa Unbound from using the "teleports" between its Spatial rings.
For a moment, the situation became deadlocked.
But if this dragged on like this—
it would definitely still be disadvantageous.
Because Hoopa Unbound's Gold ring was just too overpowered in terms of function.
And that was when—
a rainbow-colored silhouette finally came tearing through from far away.
Damian noticed it, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Ho-Oh! You're Finally Here!! Come help me!"
