Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

The Thunder Dragon, which missed Deoxys, did not dissipate into the air directly, but instead struck behind Deoxys where it had been standing.

And what was behind Deoxys's original position...? Undoubtedly, it was the other two legendary Pokémon that hadn't recovered yet!

These attacks, each dealing tens of thousands... no, more like tens of millions of volts, inflicted even more pain on Articuno and Moltres, which were already badly injured by Psychic Shot.

Then came anger.

There are those against Deoxys, and of course, there are those against Zapdos.

"Chirp—"

The molten lava bird flapped its wings, and crimson flames ignited the space that had just been shrouded in lightning, turning it scorching hot. Countless blazing flames erupted from the enraged bird's body, indiscriminately attacking everything in its path.

Deoxys, as well as Zapdos and Articuno.

The unfolding events made Giovanni feel uneasy. "Calm down! Moltres, Zapdos, take care of Deoxys first!"

However, before he could further stop the infighting among the three legendary birds, Mega Sylveon led a group of Pokémon to charge over.

Giovanni gritted his teeth and pulled out a Poké Ball. "Damn it! Mega Beedrill, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, stop Sylveon!"

"Loz, take the energy storage device and get out first!"

Loz agreed and released Corviknight and Bronze Elephant, hoping to break through the encirclement under the cover of the two elves.

However, a sudden loud noise came from the doorway, and an imposing elf descended from the sky, standing in front of the door and blocking the only exit to the outside world.

Sticky Dragon!

…………

This most confidential equipment room of the Marocomón Group is not very large.

The ceiling is only about ten meters high, and the area is barely the size of two football fields. After being filled with precision instruments, the space feels even more cramped.

It's hard to imagine that four legendary Pokémon are engaged in a fierce battle in such a confined space.

Without the protection of an energy barrier, the energy shockwave from each attack would destroy a large portion of the surrounding equipment!

Burning, freezing, lightning strikes, and pure clashes of power—within minutes, the main battlefield had become a wasteland.

Even though these devices have undergone the world's most rigorous extreme endurance tests during manufacturing, making them among the toughest in the world.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

The explosive energy of the four legendary Pokémon not only caused irreversible negative effects on the surrounding environment, but also required the Pokémon and humans below to dodge the aftershocks of attacks from above during lulls in the battle in order to catch their breath.

Both in the air and on the ground, the entire equipment room was in complete chaos.

The four legendary Pokémon in the sky were locked in a fierce battle, unable to determine a victor. Below, Rose, carrying an energy storage device, was firmly blocked inside the gate by Goodra and Saifuru, two Steel-type Pokémon that were like an impenetrable wall.

The situation seemed very favorable for Xia Chen.

But only he knew that the situation was far from optimistic.

Although this incident has stirred up infighting among the three legendary birds, given their stamina, they could probably fight for a whole day and night without any serious consequences.

Meanwhile, Deoxys's energy was becoming increasingly scarce...

Within ten minutes, the oil lamp will surely run out and be completely consumed!

Worse still, Xia Chen has used up all his trump cards, and all he can do is pray that Rayquaza arrives soon.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a voice rang in his head.

"I've arrived. Are you underground? How do I get there?"

The voice was powerful and deep; it was the voice of the long-unseen Liekong Zuo!

When they borrowed Xia Chen's power to super evolve, the two of them formed a unique and wonderful bond.

As long as the distance is within a certain range, both parties can sense each other's location and communicate their thoughts.

"You've finally arrived..."

Xia Chen's tone carried an inexplicable hint of grievance.

Are you being coquettish?

Lie Kong asked.

How did you figure that out?

Xia Chen was somewhat exasperated, but remembering that he still needed Long's help, he said, "Hurry up and come down, just blast a path through it, I can't hold on much longer."

"Oh, take care of yourself."

After a brief reply, Liekong remained silent.

Xia Chen felt a chill and quickly used telepathy to send the fairy cloths back to his side.

…………

Sylveon Milotic, which was fighting against the Pokémon under Giovanni and his team, suddenly retreated, and Goodra and Cypher, who were guarding the exit, also ran back to Xia Chen's side.

The sudden change puzzled Sakaki. Xia Chen was clearly in the lead now, so why was he suddenly becoming conservative?

Looking in the direction of Ochisis, Sakaki saw the crystal core on its chest, which was so dim it had almost lost its luster.

It can't hold on any longer!

This sole possibility finally allowed Sakaki's tense nerves to relax.

"Loz, go out and release the gamma energy quickly."

"Zetsukuyo, Moltres, defeat Deoxys!"

Even without Sakaki saying it, the two of them had already realized this. The three sacred birds temporarily put aside their differences and focused on the outside world together.

It's time to end it all!

Flames and lightning converged, while a chilling beam of icy light shot out from another direction.

Three attacks, each with distinct yet equally terrifying energies, were unleashed almost simultaneously, locking onto the point of their convergence at an angle from which there was absolutely no chance of dodging.

Deoxys used a protective barrier to firmly shelter all the spirits in a small space.

Sakaki's lips curled into a cold smile.

Hold on?

It's just a change from a death sentence to a suspended death sentence.

boom--

Perhaps it was because the three moves converged, the explosion of energy was unusually loud.

Chanyeol's bright light was blinding, and Sakaki squinted slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Isn't this commotion a bit too much?

The tremors coming from the soles of his feet intensified his panic.

Something's not right!

Sakagi had a spider-like premonition.

"Beedrill, Nido Queen, hold the line!"

A subtle sense of danger saved Sakaki's life.

Just as several energy barriers were erected, a terrifying energy surge blasted through the bottom floor of the underground energy plant from above!

Countless pieces of steel or cement debris collapsed and fell, covering the equipment room, which was already in ruins.

Amidst the thick, blinding dust, a pair of golden dragon eyes suddenly opened.

In the dim environment, they were like two suns radiating infinite light.

A terrifying pressure enveloped them, and even the three sacred birds silently concealed their sharpness.

They may be fierce in their own territory, but when legendary spirits of a higher level descend, they can still distinguish between the great and the small kings.

…………

"Brother Xia Chen, am I not late?"

From the dragon's head came a young girl's voice that hadn't been heard for a long time.

Xia Chen, having reverted from his transformed state to human form, climbed onto Rayquaza's head with Milotic's help.

Xijiana looked at Xia Chen with concern; he was in poor mental condition and somewhat exhausted.

"What happened to you?"

While asking him questions, Xiao hope shook Xia Chen, trying to bring him to his senses.

Xia Chen only felt worse, "Stop shaking me, I'm going to shake my brains clean..."

"Ah...I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Startled, Xijiana quickly put him down, and Xia Chen groaned in pain as the back of his head made intimate contact with the hard dragon scales of the Sky-Siding.

Xia Chen: "......"

He felt that if he said anything more, he might be treated even more cruelly, so he changed the subject, saying, "Why did you take so long to get here? If you had been any later, I would have been dead."

Higana looked aggrieved. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. My sister took me to find the Dragon God as soon as she got your call. Climbing the Sky Pillar takes time, you know..."

Xia Chen patted the little girl's head.

He was just venting. If Rayquaza really couldn't make it in time, he would break through with Sylveon and the others. As for what would happen to the Galar people...

All he could say was that he had done his best.

The two, who had been separated for a long time, were chatting atop the Sky Thrower when a slight noise suddenly came from below.

Nidoran's strong arms lifted the stones and steel debris buried in the ground, and he helped the blood-covered Giovanni crawl out of the ruins.

"Cough-cough-"

The cough wasn't loud, but it was particularly noticeable in this quiet space.

Xia Chen leaned down to look, his eyes filled with surprise.

Sakaki didn't die?

He had been focused on defending against the three sacred birds' attacks and hadn't noticed Giovanni's actions.
