Chapter 846: Space Divided, Five Battlefields
"Aang~ee~"
A melodious and ethereal cry echoed through Aether Paradise.
Kazuya's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips: "We can't escape."
That was Palkia's cry.
That guy Hoopa had summoned other Demon Gods over, and one of them was Palkia.
Moreover.
Hoopa Unbound.
Possessed six rings.
In other words.
Besides Hoopa and Palkia, there were five other Demon Gods arriving.
He didn't know which five.
But he could be certain they didn't include Zygarde and Giratina.
He didn't know if Zygarde had been killed by Team Flare yet.
Even if not.
At the very least, It would have been blasted apart again.
And Giratina had been killed a few years ago.
So those two Supreme Gods definitely couldn't make it.
"Colress, please look after Skitty for a while. Lock down Aether Paradise; we will take the battlefield far away."
Kazuya turned to the electronic screen beside him and said.
Then he walked to the hibernation pod and quietly gazed at the sleeping Skitty.
He reached out, poked the Piplup wooden doll standing silently on the glass dome, and murmured, "Skitty, I leave her protection to you."
Immediately after.
Kazuya clenched his hand.
The figures of the five Pokémon vanished instantly.
The moment they left.
The happy expression on Skitty's face inside the hibernation pod immediately disappeared, replaced by a growing look of worry and anxiety.
The sleeping Skitty didn't know what was happening outside.
But she seemed unable to stay in her dream any longer.
At the same time.
Aether Paradise's defensive measures were fully activated.
Heavy doors closed one after another, intimidating weapons powered on, and the entire building transformed into a silent fortress in that moment.
Above the fortress.
The five Pokémon had just appeared.
When five Spacial Rends, forming a pentagram shape, slashed toward them.
They dodged in five different directions.
But consequently fell into an ambush.
The five Spacial Rends sliced through the space, forming five triangles and a pentagon in the center.
Each of Kazuya's Pokémon fell into one of the triangular spaces.
And the central pentagon.
Was where Aether Paradise was located.
"..."
Looking at the surrounding scene and Palkia in front of him.
Kazuya murmured with an ugly expression: "This is bad..."
At this moment.
The figures of his companions were nowhere to be seen in his field of vision.
At the edge of his sight was a gray barrier, severing the connection between spaces.
Kazuya withdrew his gaze, his eyes turning sharp.
To break the spatial barrier.
He must defeat the culprit.
In other words.
In this one-on-one life-and-death battle.
Kazuya must secure victory as quickly as possible and kill Palkia.
Only then could he rescue his other companions before anything happened to them.
Every second counts!
Kazuya's figure disappeared, turning into a few erratic electric sparks in mid-air.
Hovering not far away, Palkia lifted Its chin.
And directly performed a spatial translation.
Appearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
As the God of the Spatial Domain.
It didn't need its naked eyes to track Kazuya's figure; It only needed to sense the "vibrations" in space.
However.
Saying that is one thing.
But being able to sense Kazuya's location and being able to counter him are two different things.
Mind reacting, body unable to keep up.
What kind of outcome is that?
Mewtwo had the most say in this.
As Palkia performed Its spatial translation, a faint blue electric light consistently trailed behind It.
Following like a shadow.
The moment Palkia's figure paused.
Kazuya had already appeared above Its head, landing a punch squarely on Palkia's skull, forcing Its highly raised head down.
Bang!
The massive force signaled the beginning of a brutal battle.
Kazuya seized the gap to use Power Split and Guard Split on It, while also setting up Light Screen and Reflect for himself.
Then.
Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and tossed three Reversion Pills into his mouth.
Mega Evolution.
In a short time.
Kazuya's six stats.
With the exception of "HP," all surpassed Palkia's.
The massive consumption of mental energy made Kazuya feel uncomfortable.
But he couldn't care about that right now.
This was his only chance.
He had to take out Palkia before the auxiliary effects of his moves and the power of the Reversion Pills ran out!
"As long as I can devour you, even with Demon Gods pressing in from outside, we can still escape!"
A fierce, crimson light suddenly erupted in Kazuya's eyes.
At this moment.
He looked more like a Dark God than anyone else.
...
...
In the other four spaces.
"What a coincidence, running into you again."
Scizor's murmur sounded.
This voice suppressed a hint of anger and hatred.
And the Demon God before him.
Was precisely the Ice Dragon that had nearly wiped them out back then.
The Strongest Dragon, the God of Nothingness, the God of Boundaries, the God of Freezing...
Kyurem has many popular titles.
But Scizor wouldn't be intimidated by these titles.
Although.
He really wanted to charge forward and kill Kyurem right now.
But he clearly understood he didn't have the strength.
At least, not yet.
Therefore.
In this battle.
Not only could he not fight with all his might, but he had to stall with all his might.
Stall until Master thought of a way to rescue them.
Scizor didn't doubt whether Kazuya had the ability to do this.
As the saying goes.
He had more confidence in Kazuya than Kazuya himself.
In the adjacent space.
Lucario stared grimly at the slow-moving giant ahead, his eyes filled with seriousness and caution: "The God of the Titans, Regigigas..."
The legendary giant that towed continents, the king of the Titans.
Had actually appeared here.
This was fraught with danger, but it was also an opportunity.
Lucario knew Regigigas had an Ability called "Slow Start."
Under this Ability.
Regigigas's combat power was very low when It first started moving, low enough to fall below the baseline of a first-tier god.
Lucario believed this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to kill Regigigas.
Even if he failed.
He could still test the waters.
Lucario hadn't forgotten the intelligence they had obtained from AZ back then:
There might be a Plate in the Snowpoint Temple in the Alabaster Icelands of the Sinnoh region.
Didn't this sentence.
Imply.
That Regigigas might have a Plate on It?
Wasn't this a perfect opportunity to test that?
If all of Lucario's moves of various types were effective, wouldn't that mean Regigigas didn't possess any Plate?
Thinking of this.
Lucario clenched his fists.
In the adjacent space.
"I wonder how everyone is doing..."
Dragonite's gentle voice was filled with worry.
She looked at the black figure ahead and silently raised her hand, tossing a Reversion Pill into her mouth.
She hadn't forgotten Kazuya's repeated warnings.
When your companions are around, rely on them more, and try not to take Reversion Pills.
Dragonite knew Kazuya was worried about her health.
After all, Reversion Pills consume a Pokémon's lifespan, and she was already very old.
However.
Right now, she had no other choice.
The Dragon of Ideals, the God of Lightning.
Zekrom.
Dragonite wasn't an arrogant Pokémon.
She clearly understood she highly likely wouldn't be a match for Zekrom.
Especially a Zekrom in Overdrive mode.
But.
After Mega Evolving.
It wouldn't be easy for Zekrom to kill her either.
Ultimately.
Zekrom was among the weakest batch of first-tier gods.
Dragonite was confident she could survive a little longer.
It was just that.
She probably wouldn't be able to help everyone else.
In the adjacent space.
Where the Dragon of Ideals is present.
The Dragon of Truth is basically never far behind.
And this God of Fire, at this very moment, was standing opposite Mewtwo.
"Hmph."
Mewtwo looked at the White Dragon opposite Him and scoffed arrogantly.
He hated pure white Pokémon.
No other reason.
He just didn't like others having the same color as Him.
Moreover, the proportion of white on Reshiram was even higher than on Mewtwo.
This made Him a bit displeased.
Crunch!
The Reversion Pill shattered in His mouth.
A hint of a bloody smell spread from His oral cavity, making Mewtwo frown tightly.
This was His first time eating this thing.
The taste was indeed quite unpleasant.
The light of evolution covered Mewtwo's entire body.
A taller Mewtwo appeared in place.
"Hmm... Different from the other Mewtwo. Was I influenced by Kazuya and the others? I'll ask later."
Mewtwo used His psychic perception to check His appearance and instantly felt it was strange.
In His impression.
According to human records.
Mega Mewtwo didn't look like this.
But rather like a little thing with a long head; to put it bluntly, it was "atavism," with its appearance leaning slightly more towards Mew.
But Mewtwo's current form.
Seemed more like taking a step further on His own path.
The difference from Mew was even greater.
Instead, He bore some resemblance to Scizor and Lucario.
Mewtwo.
And indeed all creatures in this world, didn't know.
That a Pokémon like Mewtwo, just like Charizard, had two Mega Evolution forms.
One was the known, public form.
Mega Mewtwo Y.
Continuing to advance the talent Mewtwo was meant to have, a Special Attack-oriented form.
And the other.
Was Mewtwo's new form right now.
Mega Mewtwo X.
Just like Mega Charizard X, it was a genetic mutation, embarking on a path completely opposite to its original talent, a Physical Attack-oriented form.
But this was only for an ordinary Mewtwo.
For the newly born second-generation Mewtwo.
Mega Mewtwo X was actually the most suitable form for Him.
After all.
Mewtwo had always grown under the tutelage of Scizor and Lucario.
And these two Pokémon were both grandmasters in the domain of close combat.
Their teachings to Mewtwo.
Were almost entirely experiences and techniques related to close combat.
Mewtwo's talent in the domain of close combat had long been developed by the two to a certain degree; it could be said He had long since mutated.
Perhaps because of this.
When Mewtwo consumed the Reversion Pill.
He evolved into the form of Mega Mewtwo X.
This was a choice that followed His heart.
"This power is truly excellent, it's addictive. I'll have to ask Kazuya for a few more Reversion Pills later."
Mewtwo rotated His arms.
He felt terrifyingly strong right now!
This truly wasn't His illusion.
If, before Mega Evolving.
Mewtwo was at the same T4 tier among first-tier gods as Reshiram.
Then after Mega Evolving.
Mewtwo jumped to the T2 tier, on the same level as the Primal forms of the Hoenn duo (Groudon and Kyogre) and the fused forms of Kyurem.
At this very moment, Mewtwo.
His strength had already skyrocketed to a degree infinitely approaching Reshiram.
Even if Reshiram was a Master at Lv. 90.
Who would win and who would lose.
Was still unknown.
