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

That makes sense.

After discussing it, the group agreed to the plan.

The task of shattering the stone sculpture was then entrusted to Champion Leon's ace Pokémon.

"Sonia, step back a bit! Mega Charizard, use Flamethrower!"

As the champion, Leon's Charizard naturally possesses the power of Mega Evolution, and it follows the Fire-type Charizard Y route.

He wasn't worried that the burst of flames would damage the things inside the stone carving. If the things of the legendary elves were so easily damaged, how could they have defeated Eternia and stopped Dark Night five thousand years ago?

The good news is that legendary elf items are indeed not that fragile.

The bad news is that Charizard's Flamethrower failed to penetrate the stone sculpture's defenses.

This is the full-force attack of the champion ace Charizard!

Dan Di was somewhat skeptical. "Drow Ranger, Cinderace, you two get ready with Swords Dance. Charizard, let's do it again, Blast Flare!"

The explosive flames are a level stronger than the Big Bang Flame, almost comparable to the Devastating Beam.

Even so, apart from some scorch marks on the surface, the elven stone carving remained completely unchanged.

"Never mind, I'll do it."

Cattleya stepped forward without throwing a Poké Ball, seemingly preparing to take matters into her own hands.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly turned white, and her long golden hair, which hung down to her waist, fluttered behind her. Then, no dazzling energy fluctuations were emitted.

With a deafening roar, the ancient stone sculpture suddenly shattered into countless fragments.

An unremarkable, decaying iron sword fell out, making a crisp sound amidst the pile of rubble.

Charizard stared blankly, a chill suddenly running down its spine.

This human... is just too terrifying!

Not to mention the fire-breathing dragon, even the Pill Emperor was dumbfounded.

He had heard of Cattleya's fame and exploits before, but he had always dismissed it as an exaggeration.

After all, it seems a bit too sci-fi that a four or five-year-old girl could turn a castle into ruins because she couldn't control her superpowers.

Looking at it now... it really wasn't fake at all.

"Charizard's first two moves weren't useless; it was just a qualitative change from 99% to 100%. I only made a small contribution."

Gadriya calmly explained, and then used a move similar to a mental shock to blast open Zangranmat's statue.

Xia Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

So you scared the statue of Zangranmat into cracking, right?

Chapter 409 Giant! Beast! Slash!

"Is this the legendary sword and shield?"

Xia Chen picked up two items that had fallen from the broken statue, his tone somewhat questioning.

Because what was in front of them didn't look like a treasure related to legendary spirits, but more like a child's toy.

No, children's toys are much more elaborate than this.

However, this is something from five thousand years ago, and the casting technology at that time was limited, so it's not incomprehensible.

The key point is, once you get the goods, what happens next?

"Should I raise my sword while shouting Zacian's name?"

Xia Chen tried to combine some strange and unusual knowledge in his mind.

He raised the broken and rotten iron sword and shouted, "Zarxiang!"

Unfortunately, no dazzling light appeared, nor was there even a trace of a thunderous sound; the experiment was declared a failure.

Xia Chen had no choice but to seek help from an authority figure, "Dr. Mulan, what do we need to do?"

"do not know."

Dr. Mulan shook her head. "No one has ever found these two treasures, nor has anyone ever seen the true forms of Zacian and Zangranmat, but according to a saying in the legend..."

"Only when you are plunged into the deepest darkness will the decaying sword and shield shine."

Xia Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

The deepest darkness likely refers to the night sky, so it means that as long as you bring the sword and shield to Eterna's location, Zacian and Kuramat will appear.

Since the first half of this legend has already come true, the last part should also be highly likely to be true.

Thinking about it another way, perhaps this is the message that Zacian and Kuramat deliberately left for the Galarians—

I will only be awakened by the appearance of Anuttara; it will never appear under any other circumstances.

Having no better options, the group decided to return to Quanji City after discussion.

Just after Xia Chen and his group left the ruins, two pairs of eyes, as bright as torches, suddenly opened in the mist.

…………

Quanjuku City.

Night had fallen.

The once brightly lit, bustling city that never sleeps is unusually desolate tonight. Apart from the brightly lit boxing arena in the city center, only a few scattered lights remain.

Most people chose to evacuate the city, which was in extreme danger, after the cataclysm occurred.

In contrast to the silent city, the sky was ablaze with colorful fireworks, their explosive roars almost never ceasing.

A few armed helicopters hovered thousands of meters away from the enormous Wujitai, monitoring the situation as inconspicuous as a few wakizashi swimming around the whale king.

Inside the cabin was a dedicated team risking their lives to broadcast the Galar disaster live to people around the world.

"It's 7 PM local time in Galar now, and a full five hours have passed since the legendary Pokémon, Rayquaza and its two companions, battled Eternatus!"

"Apart from Articuno, the other three Pokémon showed almost no signs of fatigue. Admittedly, this was due to the assistance of dozens of Pokémon with healing abilities, but it also showed just how terrifying the energy reserves of legendary Pokémon are!"

"And the phenomenon of Eternatus emitting leaked energy causing Pokémon to swell and grow to gigantic size is becoming more and more common, so residents near Motostoke City are asked to take good care of their Pokémon."

"Currently, the [Dark Night] incident has resulted in the deaths of over three hundred people and more than five hundred Pokémon, but under the leadership of Champion Leon, the situation is under good control..."

In the live stream, countless netizens from all over the world, unusually, did not become keyboard warriors and lash out, but instead prayed for the victims of this sudden disaster.

"Sigh, the awakening of legendary spirits has become more and more frequent in recent years, and the damage caused is getting more and more serious each time."

"Yes, this Eternatus is too powerful. Even Rayquaza and Gurudon combined are no match for it. My condolences to the people of the Galar region."

"But no matter what, the Galar League's response this time was far too slow. Fortunately, the incident occurred right where the World Gym Leader Tournament was being held, and Leon was there. Otherwise, the consequences would have been even more severe."

"It's not crucial that Dante was there; the only good thing is that Xia Chen was there. Therefore, Leton is his Pokémon, and Rayquaza was obviously summoned by him. Otherwise, the damage caused by Eternatus would probably have spread to the city of Miyako."

When will the legendary hero who protects Galar finally appear?

…………

In the pitch-black night sky, the area where Mujita was located was a striking crimson red.

A brilliant golden light suddenly shone within it.

The energy cluster exploded, and countless meteorites indiscriminately struck Wujitana's body.

Although the meteorite was as small and invisible as dust compared to its enormous and terrifying body, the energy contained within it caused Wujitada to let out an angry roar.

Immediately, a beam of infinite light struck back at Lie Kongzuo, the instigator of this meteor shower, the powerful aura almost tearing the entire night sky apart.

At the perfect moment, Liekong accelerated nimbly, narrowly dodging the energy beam. Meanwhile, Guleton, who had been hovering beside Wujitana for a while, seized the opportunity to strike, his energy surging and transforming into eight beams of light that slashed towards Wujitana's spine.

Lie Kong sat there, his eyes serious as he gazed at the enormous monster before him, a hint of emotion stirring within him.

It thought that with its own strength and that of Guleton, it could at least fight this guy to a standstill, but its energy seemed inexhaustible and could not be depleted no matter what it did.

To be honest, Rayquaza is a little tired right now.

What's scary isn't that the opponent is too strong; what's scary is that you simply can't find a way to defeat it.

But we've already agreed to Xia Chen's request, so what else can we do?

Even if we can't win, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and fight.

Just as Lie Kong was about to rush forward, he suddenly sensed that Xia Chen's location was rapidly approaching.

He's back?

When Rayquaza looked back, Xia Chen was indeed riding on Milotic, getting closer and closer. Judging from the direction, he seemed to be flying straight towards Eternatus.

What is this guy planning to do?

Lie Kong remained puzzled.

But then Xia Chen stood up from Milotic's body, holding two tattered swords and shields in his hands.

He plans to use these two things to deal with Mugentsuna.

The entire dragon was stunned by Liekong's presence.

But its intuition, as a legendary elf, told it that those two things were not simple.

But just as this thought arose, a sudden change occurred.

The strange energy particles drifting in the sky were gradually attracted by the sword and shield in Xia Chen's hands and attached to them.

The originally broken and rotten sword and shield seemed to have been repaired by particles, and they shone with a dazzling light.

As if echoing this beam of light, two beams of light flew across the sky from the other side, like shooting stars chasing the moon.

Liekong narrowed his golden dragon eyes slightly.

Could this aura be...?

…………

At the same time, the same scene appeared in the live broadcast rooms of official television stations in various regions around the world.

The war correspondent stared in disbelief at the two beams of light that suddenly appeared.

However, not being very familiar with the Galatian mythology, he was unaware of the origin of the two beams of light and gave a vague description of the scene.
