"The power to command a god shouldn't remain in the hands of someone with ulterior motives."
Aiden's voice was calm.
The next second—
He vanished.
Before Cyrus could even react, Aiden appeared directly in front of him.
Purple psychic light wrapped around Cyrus instantly, freezing him in place. His eyes widened in disbelief as the Lustrous Orb was effortlessly pulled from his hand.
He tried to speak.
He couldn't.
Psychic restraints sealed his body completely.
With a casual wave, Aiden tossed the immobilized Team Galactic leader downward.
Cynthia immediately understood. Garchomp stepped forward and delivered a precise chop to Cyrus's neck.
He collapsed unconscious.
Just like that—
Team Galactic was finished.
Charon and the three commanders stared in horror.
Is this man even human?
On the League side, morale skyrocketed.
Working alongside Aiden felt absurdly efficient.
No one escaped.
No one resisted.
A perfect arrest rate.
Lance and Wallace, who had fought beside him before, felt the same.
Lance even began thinking—
Maybe I should convince him to visit Kanto… wipe out Team Rocket while he's at it.
Lorelei adjusted her glasses, astonished.
So this was why multiple Champions treated him like a trump card.
It wasn't just Rayquaza.
It was him.
—
Above them, Palkia halted midair.
With the Lustrous Orb no longer in Cyrus's control, its mind cleared instantly.
Aiden raised his gaze.
"Palkia."
"I want to capture you."
He stored the Lustrous Orb into his system space.
Now fully freed from forced manipulation, Palkia regained clarity.
"Ding! Palkia's current status—"
Pokémon: Palkia
Divinity: Spatial Deity
Level: 100
Ability: Pressure
Type: Dragon / Water
Aptitude: Rainbow
Origin Forme: Locked
Affection: 70
Background: Awakened by Team Galactic's summoning. Regained clarity due to Host's intervention. Holds mild favor toward Host.
Hobby: Fighting Dialga
Aiden nodded slightly.
Palkia let out a low roar.
It was grateful for being freed.
But it was still a Primary Legendary.
It wouldn't submit without battle.
A telepathic voice echoed in Aiden's mind.
"Very well. Defeat me… and I will follow you."
A capture battle.
Right as Aiden prepared to respond—
Space trembled.
The earlier disturbances between the Reverse World and reality had ripple effects.
Time and space were intertwined.
And the three Sinnoh dragons shared deeper connections through their creator, Arceus.
Within another dimension—
A presence awakened.
"Those two idiots again?"
"Fighting?"
"Let's go watch."
A blue spatial distortion tore open.
A massive, steel-blue quadruped stepped through.
Dialga.
Aiden barely reacted.
These gods loved dramatic entrances.
"Dialga!"
Palkia's eyes flared instantly.
Rivalry ignited.
Without hesitation, spatial energy gathered around Palkia's claws.
Spacial Rend formed midair—
And it lunged directly at Dialga.
Aiden pinched the bridge of his nose.
Of course.
These two never needed a reason.
"Ding! Dialga's current status—"
Pokémon: Dialga
Divinity: Temporal Deity
Level: 100
Ability: Pressure
Type: Dragon / Steel
Aptitude: Rainbow
Origin Forme: Locked
Affection: 0
Background: Awakened after sensing Palkia and Giratina's power fluctuations. Entered reality to investigate.
Hobby: Fighting Palkia. Gossiping.
Aiden's expression twitched slightly.
Gossiping?
Seriously?
But thinking about it—
It made sense.
As the god of time, Dialga could hop timelines at will.
If it wanted to bully Palkia, it could simply travel to a weaker version of it and beat it up.
On top of that, Dialga loved observing events across eras.
Secrets.
Scandals.
Legendary drama.
No wonder both Palkia and Giratina found it insufferable.
If not for its absurd time-control ability—
It probably would've been beaten senseless long ago.
Above Mt. Coronet—
Spacial Rend and Roar of Time began to charge simultaneously.
And Aiden realized something.
He might be about to capture not one—
But two gods.
