Chapter 225 - Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice [225]
"Dr. Stephen! You can do it!"
"Take them down!"
"The pride of our Pokémon League!"
"Joker-sama! I love you!"
As Stephen and Bewear, that classic duo, walked up to the Seven Gods, even the millions of Lumiose City residents being evacuated—on the brink of life and death—erupted in an indescribable frenzy.
Amidst the cheers, you could also vaguely hear voices worshipping Joker.
Ever since the Indigo Battle, when the Team Rocket Boss revealed Joker's reasons for joining Team Rocket, the King of Rocket's reputation had improved significantly.
And among girls like Marnie, he was more popular than ever.
After all, what girl could resist a powerful, mysterious antihero with a story?
"Suddenly, I feel like we're kind of redundant here," joked Siebold, who had rushed with his colleagues to help evacuate people after his MEGA Blastoise was knocked out by Bewear's intimidating presence.
"You should take a good look at yourself and ask why you're just an Elite Four member," Blue replied, just as he was about to step into the golden ring.
Siebold: ???
What the heck does just an Elite Four mean?
Does he know the Elite Four are already out of reach for 99.9% of people?
"Blue, are we just leaving like this? I still want to watch," said Gary, reluctant to leave.
That punch Bewear used to counter the God of Space's ultimate move was just too cool. Gary thought, if his own Stufful could watch a bit more, maybe it could learn a thing or two.
"Idiot! You want to get caught up in that?" Blue snapped.
Even with so many Champions present, just now when Dialga and Palkia made their moves, the resulting shockwaves left the Champions powerless to resist. They barely escaped with Hoopa's help.
If the remaining gods all attacked at once... Blue did not doubt that more than half the city would be leveled in an instant.
"Roar!"
The God of Earth acted first, Groudon letting out a mighty roar.
Beams of intense light pierced through the darkness covering the sky, shining on Groudon's back.
Drought activated!
In the next instant, burning red energy erupted from Groudon's back and shot into the clouds.
Two seconds later, a rain of endless flaming meteors came crashing down toward central Lumiose City.
"That range is insane!" Gary exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Shut up and get in there!" Blue kicked Gary into the golden ring.
Gary, landing face-first, looked up to see himself surrounded by crowds evacuated from Lumiose.
Huh? Isn't this Melemele Island?
Did Hoopa just teleport everyone to Alola?
"Hoopa, bring those two here," Stephen called out to the distant little Hoopa, who was busy evacuating the citizens.
By now, they were familiar enough that even without names, Hoopa knew who Stephen meant by "those two."
"Hoopa knows!"
Little Hoopa retracted two golden rings, charged them with new energy, and tossed them high.
"Come out!"
From the two expanding rings, two large, carnivorous Pokémon leaped out.
The twin kings of Sword and Shield!
Zacian!
Zamazenta!
[Wifey! I—what the heck!?]
Zamazenta, seeing Bewear, was at first happy, but then his face changed when he saw the meteor firestorm falling from the sky.
He'd already been teleported by Hoopa before; he thought this would just be another quick errand to help his wife deal with some needs—not this!
"Zamazenta, defend!"
At Stephen's command, Zamazenta put on the Rusted Shield and shifted into his Shield Form.
A brilliant blue light burst from Zamazenta, rapidly forming into the outline of a giant shield, covering the city center a hundred meters above.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meteor after a flaming meteor crashed down with deafening blasts, but none could break through the Shield King's defense.
"You, without primal reversion, are no match for Zamazenta," Stephen muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a low dragon roar echoed out.
Brilliant blue lightning crackled around Zekrom, forming a massive sphere of thunder, charging straight at them.
Zekrom's signature move—Bolt Strike!
"Heh~"
Stephen smirked.
Even though Zekrom was legendary, compared to the other monsters here, it was like a toy robot being compared to giants.
It just didn't measure up.
Joker, atop Shadow Lugia, also smiled.
The King of Team Rocket raised his right hand, pointing at the attacking Zekrom.
Shadow Lugia charged up with a surge of black energy, charging like a dark phoenix straight at Zekrom.
Dark Charge!
The evil clouds conjured by evil Hoopa scattered before this immense darkness.
If Palkia's Spacial Rend could at least hold off Bewear for a few moments, Zekrom stood no chance against Shadow Lugia's Dark Charge.
The thunder attack was crushed instantly.
"Zekrom, no way!?"
In front of the TV, Iris cried out in disbelief.
Though she should be happy that Shadow Lugia won—since Joker was on the League's side now—as a native Unovan, seeing their region's dragon god so easily defeated left her feeling complicated.
Especially since the winner was a criminal.
"Huh? Granny, what's wrong?"
Iris turned to her grandmother, noticing she'd been silent for a while.
The Unova League chairman frowned, speaking seriously: "The twin dragons of Unova usually slumber. Now that Zekrom has been summoned, it means..."
Iris immediately understood—"The hero of ideals has awakened!?"
Boom—!
In the explosion, the defeated Zekrom was flung out, but not completely knocked out.
Joker flicked his finger, and Shadow Lugia spread its wings, chasing after Zekrom before it hit the ground.
In the next instant, Shadow Lugia stomped on Zekrom's chest.
A devastating Body Slam drove it into the earth.
The city center shook, and the foundations of the surrounding buildings rumbled, ready to collapse!
"Roaaaar—!"
Zekrom howled in pain.
Even controlled, he could still feel agony.
"Zekrom!!"
N, who had just come down from Dragonspiral Tower, was now watching the Lumiose battle via his foster father's phone.
Hearing his partner's wails, the Plasma King could no longer maintain his usual calm and mysterious air.
With Shadow Lugia pinning Zekrom and Joker taking out an Ultra Ball, N suddenly felt betrayed.
"Stop him!!!"
On Indigo Plateau, Lance roared instinctively, nearly deafening Goodshow beside him.
But Lance seemed to forget that the on-field Champions—Leon, Cynthia, etc.—couldn't hear him.
Even though Joker was helping fight the evil god right now, at the sight of him pulling out a Poké Ball, everyone around the world held their breath.
After Shadow Lugia, was Joker about to capture another legendary?
Would this end up like the Indigo League Battle, with Team Rocket as the big winner again?!
On the other side, fighting berserk Zygarde, Giovanni allowed himself a faint smile: "Go for it, Stephen."
He glanced at the rampaging god of order before him.
Well, this Ground-type god of order would be his present for Silver.
Yet, while the on-site Champions couldn't hear Lance's yell, someone else stopped Joker!
Suddenly, above Joker and Shadow Lugia, space twisted—and a dragon head poked through.
That was... Origin Forme Giratina!
"Stop—!"
Before Karen could finish her shout, Giratina, moving like a ghost, burst forth.
Shadow Sneak!
"Zacian!" Stephen's shout rang out.
Blade energy ripped the earth, slashing with devastating power from the side. Giratina had to change targets.
It turned to face Zacian!
In an instant, two overwhelming energies collided.
The ground shook and winds howled.
At this close range, Joker was directly blown away by the shockwave, not even having time to throw the Poké Ball.
"Joker!!"
Marnie, still training in Alola, cried out in alarm.
Shadow Lugia let go of Zekrom and soared to catch Joker.
"Even I didn't sense that... That ability to freely move between the real world and the Reverse World is a real pain," Stephen muttered, protected by Bewear and bracing against the wind.
Sacred Sword and Shadow Sneak collided, sending shockwaves rippling outward, shattering the surrounding skyscrapers.
If Hoopa hadn't already evacuated the citizens, who knows how many would have died.
After the shockwave, Giratina was forced back.
In terms of destructive power, Giratina couldn't match Zacian. But...
As it retreated, Giratina's body twisted and vanished into another dimension.
It had entered the Reverse World!
"Zacian, tag out! Bewear, your turn!" Stephen commanded.
Though in the movie, the Sinnoh trio looked pathetic against Arceus, Giratina's Reverse World powers were still tricky.
Ordinary senses couldn't detect it—it would take Bewear, who could briefly see the future, to handle this.
Bewear closed its eyes, flashes of future scenes passing in its mind.
Within two seconds, it opened its eyes and charged at Zamazenta.
[W-Wifey!?]
Zamazenta was terrified.
Did I not do well enough last time? Is she coming for me?
But as Zamazenta braced for a hit, Bewear shot past and unleashed a thunderous uppercut.
At that exact moment, Giratina's dragon head poked through the rift.
Seeing Bewear's iron fist coming straight for it, even a controlled Giratina was startled.
Crap!
How did it know I'd come out there?
Bam!
With a heavy blow, Giratina's face froze, and it spat out a mouthful of—well, something.
Zamazenta, now behind Bewear, opened his eyes.
Huh? That didn't hurt?
"Finish it while it's down, Zamazenta!" Stephen called.
Zamazenta quickly gathered his strength, charging at the still-dazed Giratina.
Play Rough!
A surge of pink energy burst from Zamazenta, slamming into Giratina's face.
The God of the Reverse World stumbled and fell, coughing up red liquid.
This time, it was clear what Giratina coughed up.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, wild winds swept the area as countless fiery whips filled the sky, falling more ferociously than Groudon's eruption earlier. freeweɓnøvel.com
That was... White Kyurem!
And its signature move—Fusion Flare!
With a shout, Zamazenta's shield gathered immense steel energy, forming a giant energy ball leaping toward White Kyurem.
Behemoth Bash!
The flames couldn't stop Behemoth Bash, but at least weakened it—exactly Kyurem's aim.
In the next instant, White Kyurem was engulfed in blue lightning, transforming again.
Now, Black Kyurem!
Crackling with electricity, Black Kyurem charged up a massive thunder orb, ready to face Zamazenta.
Fusion Bolt!
Shield King and the strongest dragon collided.
For a moment, all the legendaries were in a chaotic battle.
With the center at what used to be the Lumiose Arena, the earth was riven with fissures, not a single stone was left whole, and the city's iconic skyscrapers were gone.
"The citizens are almost all evacuated. Let's get out, too!" Drasna called, watching over Malva with her Altaria and shouting to the others.
Diantha hesitated.
Honestly, as Champion, fleeing and leaving others in danger was disgraceful.
But Diantha knew that unless you were on Giovanni or Leon's level, there was no point staying.
Boom!
Suddenly, Zamazenta was knocked down by Black Kyurem and hit the ground.
Bewear rushed in to follow up with a punch.
The impact made the earth cave in, pits spreading toward Cynthia, Diantha, and the others.
"Everyone! We're not safe here! Get farther back!" Leon shouted from atop his Charizard.
"Diantha, let's go!" Cynthia shouted.
Though she wanted to witness this battle that surpassed the Lily of the Valley Conference, if they stayed—
"Come here!"
The evil Hoopa's shout sent goosebumps over all the Champions.
Instinctively, they turned toward the voice.
A giant golden ring had appeared overhead, and the evil Hoopa emerged from it, slamming down a mighty fist.
Though aimed at little Hoopa, who had just finished evacuating the city, the destruction would have killed everyone below!
"Bastard!" Stephen cursed, having just wounded Giratina only to let evil Hoopa escape.
That thing's real target was always little Hoopa!
"Your turn!"
He knew he'd pay for this later, but there was no choice.
"Pika!"
The yellow rodent, previously nestled in Sonia's cleavage, blinked.
It leaped up, positioning itself between little Hoopa and the oncoming fist.
"Pikachu!?"
Sonia's face changed.
The Champions were stunned mouths agape.
That Pikachu had to be nuts!
Pikachu's body glowed with pale blue light, forming a protective barrier.
But no one believed a Pikachu's Protect could withstand such a monstrous attack.
Even evil Hoopa was briefly surprised, then sneered.
Fine, you can die together!
This world doesn't need two Hoopas!
"Die!"
Evil Hoopa grinned cruelly, slamming down its fist.
Dark energy exploded as the fist crashed into Pikachu's little shield like a dump truck hitting a baby.
A spark of light flashed at the point of impact.
To everyone's shock, the blow didn't go through.
"It blocked it!?"
Even seasoned Champions were stunned.
Sonia, Pikachu's trainer, was just as shocked. She knew her Pikachu was special—good at teleporting, able to transport her instantly from Galar to Kanto.
But she never expected its defense to be so strong.
Boom—!
But it was too soon to celebrate.
The collision of Abyssal Assault and Protect created a shockwave that spread instantly toward Cynthia, Sonia, and the others!
"We made it," Stephen's voice suddenly sounded at their side.
"Hoopa-chan!"
At Stephen's call, little Hoopa's fear instantly turned to courage.
"Leave it to Hoopa!"
Immediately, three golden rings expanded, sucking up Diantha, Siebold, Drasna, the restrained Malva, and the helpers Leon, Cynthia, and others.
"Thank you for your help. We'll take it from here," Stephen waved to the group.
He had never expected the League Champions to help much in battle.
Helping evacuate civilians was enough.
