Chapter 251 The First Appearance of Mega Evolution, Mega Latias Pays Homage! (4k)

In the air above the cathedral, the seven-colored light of evolution that pierced through the dome finally began to recede, shrinking back to its core like a receding tide.

As the light faded, a brand new figure hovered proudly—Mega Latias!
Its body became more slender and streamlined, and its originally red body was covered with a deeper and more luxurious purple armor, exuding a majestic dragon aura that made people's hearts tremble!

A terrifying aura, far surpassing the previous ones and almost reaching the level of a champion-level Pokémon, suddenly spread out!
Holy crap!! Latias has completely changed!

[What did the prisoner just shout? Super evolution?!]

[What do you mean? Is it a form-changing ability unique to the Pokémon Latias?]

[I don't know either. I just saw Prisoner throw a stone and shout about friendship and bonds, and Latias completely changed!]

[Maybe! I mean, is it possible that Mega Evolution is a kind of enhancement method similar to Crystallization, which can affect all Pokémon?]

Holy crap! I can't even imagine it. If it's true, isn't this even cooler than Taijinghua?

[This sense of oppression... even through the screen, my legs went weak!]

[So cool! This form is unbeatable!]

“Woo-ee-”

Mega Latias let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and its powerful mental energy instantly transformed into a solidified purple storm that swept out!

Boom——

A loud bang and a crisp crack exploded simultaneously!
The three spiny Omanyte, which were the first to be hit, had their hard shells easily torn apart by the mental energy storm. Their entire bodies were flung away like rag dolls by the energy shockwave and crashed heavily onto the ground of the Holy Church!

An ancient armor-like rock fist, which had just taken shape, was pulverized by the storm as it tried to resist. Its massive body was violently thrown into the air and crashed into the statues on the side wall of the church!

Wherever the mental storm passed, it plowed deep furrows into the ground, and pebbles flew out like bullets!

The previously crumbling defense line was instantly stabilized!
"Roar--"

The fossil aeroda roared angrily, seemingly enraged by Mega Latias's provocation!
Like thin yet resilient wings, it stirred up a violent gust of air, and its massive body, like a falling meteorite, crashed into the purple figure blocking Xia Chi's path with terrifying speed and power!

Behind him, the scythe-helmet's double blades crossed, gathering jade-colored insect-attribute energy, and launched a surprise attack from the flank with the speed of a ghost!

At the same time, several fossil Pokémon that had been revived by the power of the Heart Drop or were not affected by the storm also unleashed Ice Beams, Stone Attacks, and Dark Pulse, forming a vast network of deadly firepower!
Faced with this deadly attack from all sides, Mega Latias's eyes remained calm and unfathomable.

"Ooh-ee!"

Her neat, smooth wings gracefully and swiftly folded in front of her, and the gem on her forehead burst forth with a dazzling purple-gold radiance!
The immense spiritual power was no longer a sharp spear of attack, but instantly transformed into the strongest protective shield!
hum-

A massive energy barrier protected Latias and Xia Chi behind her.

The fossil pterosaur's ferocious impact was like hitting the hardest shield.

Amidst the extremely muffled roar, the energy barrier dissipated the terrifying impact layer by layer, causing only slight ripples.

The scythe-helmet's cross-shaped blade slammed into the barrier, only generating blinding sparks of energy and a sharp scraping sound, failing to shake Latias in the slightest!

The subsequent energy attacks, frost, rock, and beams of other attributes rained down on the barrier, exploding into dazzling yet deadly fireworks, but all of them were steadily blocked by this indestructible Wall of Sighs!

Behind the barrier, Xia Chi's clothes fluttered in the aftershocks of the energy, yet she remained unharmed!

[Holy crap! He single-handedly stopped the fossil army? Is this the power of super evolution?]

[Looking at it this way, he's not just more handsome than Tai Jinghua, he's ridiculously stronger!]

[Indeed, that Aerodactyl was ridiculously strong. I just saw that even the Protector from the Magic Masked Meow almost couldn't hold up, and the Mega Evolved Latias blocked it all!]

[That's incredible! Their strength has increased by more than one level!]

[I knew it! Prisoners must have some trump cards to be so confident. Those two BYD guys are still too naive!]

[Terrifying. We still don't know how many cards are hidden in the prison water!]

Sensing that the pressure around Xia Chi had suddenly decreased, E Guipeng had no more worries!
A bright green flame ignited in Ponpo's eyes, and the Jade Thorn Vine Staff burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
No longer dodging, no longer entangled, all power was concentrated into one point, transforming into a bright green comet that tore through space!
Ignoring all obstacles, the fossil sprite smashed into the incredibly sturdy control cabin with unparalleled force!

boom--

Metal twisted and shattered; protective glass shattered!
The entire control room was smashed and torn apart like paper by Ponpo's furious attack!
The internal instruments instantly turned into scrap metal, and electric sparks flew wildly!
Along with them, the two female thieves hiding in the control room were also thrown out by the terrifying force.

"and many more!"

Sanna and Lian crawled out of the rubble in a disheveled state, their faces filled with terror and despair.

"Stop! We surrender! We'll give you back the Heart Drop and Latios, just let us go!"

Xia Chi sneered.

Confused!

Even if I kill you, the stuff will still be mine.

His eyes were icy cold, without the slightest fluctuation: "Pongpeng, deal with them."

He would show no mercy to villains who attempt to destroy a city and harm the legendary guardians.

These two international thieves have already found a way to die!

Seeing that Ponpo had raised the thorny vine in her hand without any mercy.

"Then let's die together!"

A final madness flashed in Sanna's eyes as she shrieked at her Espeon: "Psychic! Target—Heart Drop!!"

------

Sanna's two months of preparation were not in vain.

According to ancient texts, the Heart Drop can control Aldomare, so logically, destroying the Heart Drop would also destroy Aldomare.

Even the so-called evil invasion two thousand years ago was not an invasion by some spirits, but the great power of nature!
It is the power of the heart's water droplets that influences the rise and fall of the ocean tides, allowing this water city, isolated in the southern waters of Hoenn for thousands of years, to remain untouched by the raging sea and safe and sound.

Now, it's all over.

Sanna paid no attention to the thorny vines that were falling on her head; her eyes were fixed on the direction of the Heart Drop with a frenzy.

The gem on Espeon's forehead gathered light, and a thick golden beam shot out towards the Heart Droplet, which was floating in the core of the device and had dimmed its light due to excessive energy extraction and was covered with cracks!
At the critical moment, Xia Chi shouted, "Bictigini!"

Just before the beam of light struck the nearly depleted Heart Droplet, a small beast-shaped sprite with fiery red V-shaped ears suddenly emerged from its stealth state.

hum-

Energy rapidly condensed, and Victini, who was prepared, used Guard to block this almost certain strike of mental energy!

"Tini~"

Victini, who had been assigned to fill in at the Heart's Drop, raised her little hand and gave Xia Chi a "V" sign. "Well done, Victini!"

Xia Chi's praise had not yet completely faded.

chap——

A crisp cracking sound echoed throughout the entire cathedral!
The gem that held together the ancient balance of Odomare and contained boundless power shattered completely, turning into a sky full of shimmering blue powder!

Xia Chi's smile froze.

what's the situation?
The drop of water in my heart has shattered!

Could it be that Sanna and Lian used too much energy to endlessly revive the fossil spirits, completely depleting their Heart Drops?
On the other side, as the control cabin was completely destroyed, the energy chains binding Latios snapped.

It weakly broke free from its restraints and fell to the ground.

However, Latios, now free, showed no joy, only boundless solemnity and despair.

As the guardian deity of the water city, it understands better than anyone what the shattering of the heart's droplet means—

That was a catastrophe for the entire city of Odomare!
Latios suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the broken dome of the church, staring intently at the outside world, a low, warning sob escaping his throat.

"Rotom! Quick, go check the situation!"

Xia Chi's heart tightened, and he immediately flipped over and leaped onto the back of Super Latias, retrieved Ponpo who had just delivered the fatal blow, and rushed out of the Holy Church gate with Rotom like an arrow.

The remaining fossil spirits that had lost the infinite regeneration ability of the Heart Drop were left to be cleaned up by Magic Masked Meow and Vibrating Wing.

Having lost their immortality, the so-called fossil elf army is nothing more than a bunch of trapped beasts waiting to be slaughtered.

Fly through the night sky outside the Holy Church aboard the Super Latias.

The scene outside the church made Xia Chi and everyone in the live broadcast room feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

The waterways, which run through the entire city and crisscross like the city's lifeblood, are visibly flowing back into the ocean!
In just a short while, the riverbed was revealed to be a dry, lifeless, grayish-black color.

Countless gondolas were stranded, and ordinary fish and water spirits in the river splashed and jumped. The entire waterway system of Aldomare was like a corpse that had been drained of its blood!

Outside the city, the once calm sea has now transformed into a monstrous beast that preys on people!
On the distant horizon, thick, leaden-gray clouds pressed down like a giant monster, merging seamlessly with the inky black sea.

A suffocating, extremely muffled growl faintly came from all directions, like the roar of a giant sea monster!
"Woo——"

The piercing, city-wide sirens finally tore through the night sky, blaring wildly from the direction of the Alliance branch and the police station.

The barbed wire that had sealed off the entire city disappeared after the control room was destroyed, and panicked residents rushed into the streets and high places.

But then, a deeper despair washed over everyone.

In the far distance, where the sea meets the sky, a terrifying giant wave, hundreds of meters high, resembles a moving white mountain range. It carries an aura of destruction and rolls and roars toward this lonely city that has stood in the sea for thousands of years with overwhelming force!

There's nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape!
The entire city was like a small boat in a storm, instantly enveloped in boundless despair.

Cries, prayers, and screams of despair mingled together, as if the end of the world was about to arrive.

In reality, such a terrifying tsunami was no different from the end of the world.

The flight will definitely not be able to take off in time.

If the tsunami were to actually hit, perhaps only a few people with flying mounts would survive.

The prerequisite is that the elf's flight altitude must be high enough and the flight time must be long enough to cross to another island.

Rotom's camera faithfully captured the scene of towering waves outside Odomare.

This allowed countless people, though thousands of miles away, to directly experience the horror of this disaster.

Holy crap! How is this any different from the end of the world?!

For the first time, I felt despair. Faced with the might of nature, even the strongest elves seemed utterly insignificant.

[Holy crap, what are you standing there for? Run!]

[Tell me how to escape? The tsunami is crashing in from all directions; it'll capsize any ship!]

Those two BYDs are truly inhuman! Stealing the Heart's Water and leaving is one thing, but they had to destroy it, making the entire city pay with their lives?

Is it possible that stealing the Heart Drop would lead to the same result, and that this terrible thing would happen as long as the Heart Drop doesn't exist in Aldor Mare?

Ultimately, it's those two BYDs who are inhuman! Can't we let the Heart's Drops resurrect them so we can whip their corpses again?!

Sigh, what's the use of saying all this now? Let's think about how to quell this disaster.

[What about those two guardian deities of water? Didn't Xia Chi save Latios?]

Are you kidding me? Even Latios gets captured and used as fuel, and you're expecting anything from it?

------

Outside the church.

Severely wounded, Latios struggled to fly to his sister's side. The two siblings exchanged glances, and without a word, they understood each other's resolve.

As guardians, this is their final mission, even if it costs them their lives.

Yes, as the drops of heart shatter, only they themselves can stop this disaster.

A resolute glint flashed in Latios's eyes. He took a deep breath, and the remaining power within him began to burn in a sacrificial manner—

It is ready to sacrifice itself, transforming into new drops of heart water to quell this world-destroying raging storm.

"Ooh-ee!"

Mega Latias let out a mournful cry and instantly rushed in front of its brother, shielding it with its body, its eyes filled with pleading and reluctance.

She also gazed at the approaching, destructive wave, a resolute glint in her eyes—she wanted to take her brother's place and become the new drop of heart!
"Wooyo..."

Latios shook his head with difficulty, his voice low but carrying an undeniable gentleness.

It looked up at Xia Chi on the back of Super Latias, its gaze complex and deep, which eventually turned into a soft call.

You have found a bond and a home to which you can entrust your life; let me bear this destiny of sacrifice…

Latios, his broken body straining to get closer to his sister, gently rubbed his scarred forehead against Latios's tear-stained cheek.

Latias wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his brother's gentle gaze.

Two Pokémon briefly huddled together during a moment of life and death, exchanging silent farewells.
