The moment Dialga appeared, Palkia's attention shifted completely.
Whatever agreement it had just made with Aiden—
Forgotten.
To Palkia, Dialga was the ultimate rival.
Their relationship wasn't much different from Groudon and Kyogre's.
See each other.
Fight.
The only difference?
Dialga had a particularly punchable personality.
A gossip-loving time god who could hop timelines, spy on secrets, and even rewind to moments of weakness to ambush opponents—
Of course it got beaten up often.
The instant Palkia's Spacial Rend tore toward Dialga—
Space itself froze.
Aiden felt it clearly this time.
When controlled by Cyrus, Palkia hadn't used its full authority over space.
It had held back.
Now?
Space Lock activated.
The entire battlefield was momentarily sealed.
No wonder earlier it needed two Spacial Rends to devastate the League headquarters.
It simply hadn't been fighting seriously.
But against Dialga—
There was no restraint.
Dialga had only come to spectate.
But the second it emerged, it was attacked.
Its temper rose instantly.
Time reversed.
In a blink—
Dialga returned to the exact moment before Palkia's attack launched.
Its jaws opened.
Roar of Time erupted.
A temporal blast collided head-on with Palkia.
Aiden clicked his tongue.
If these two kept escalating—
Mt. Coronet wouldn't survive.
"Let's end this quickly."
"Mega Rayquaza. Dragon Pulse. Sweep."
Rayquaza obeyed immediately.
A massive blue beam cut across the battlefield.
Neither time nor space gods had expected interference.
Both were struck simultaneously.
Explosions rippled outward.
They turned together—
And glared at Aiden.
"Bastard!" Dialga roared.
Time surged around its body.
Temporal authority activated.
No matter how Rayquaza dodged—
The time in which the attack landed was already predetermined.
Mega Rayquaza took the Roar of Time head-on.
Then immediately countered with Hyper Beam, neutralizing the temporal energy midair.
It didn't stop there.
Wind pressure gathered infinitely.
Dragon Ascent erupted.
The colossal dragon phantom slammed into Dialga, blasting it from the sky.
Before Dialga could recover—
Palkia opportunistically fired another attack.
Suddenly—
It became Rayquaza and Palkia versus Dialga.
Dialga snapped.
"Oh, so this was bait?"
"Fine. Nobody plays, then!"
Time flashed again.
Aiden's vision blurred.
Everything reset.
Dialga had just emerged.
Before anyone reacted—
Roar of Time detonated.
Both Mega Rayquaza and Palkia were struck.
They roared in fury.
Palkia responded instantly.
Spacial Rend expanded outward, locking the battlefield's space.
Temporal power and spatial authority clashed—
Purple and blue rings grinding against each other.
Meanwhile—
Mega Rayquaza lunged.
Its massive tail whipped downward, smashing into Dialga's body.
Then its serpentine form coiled around the Temporal Pokémon.
Bind.
Dialga struggled violently.
It had only come to watch.
Instead—
It was being double-teamed.
Outrage flooded it.
Silver light burst from its body.
Metal Burst activated.
Every ounce of damage it had taken—
Dragon Ascent.
Spacial Rend.
Was reflected back at maximum power.
Explosion.
Mega Rayquaza was forced to release its hold.
Freed, Dialga unleashed another Roar of Time.
This battle was spiraling.
Dialga kept abusing temporal resets to restore itself.
Aiden's patience thinned.
"One isn't enough?"
"Then two."
"If two aren't enough—then five."
Another Master Ball appeared.
A black streak tore across the sky.
Shiny Rayquaza descended in its Mega form.
Simultaneously—
A colossal shadow tore open space.
Giratina extended its massive head from the Reverse World.
The battlefield fell silent.
Time.
Space.
Sky.
Antimatter.
Four primary deities now faced the Temporal God.
And Aiden—
Stood at the center of it all.
