Summoning his entire superpower, Natsuhiko began to forcefully break the shackles on Meloetta.
"Tornado!!"
Tornadus' eyes gleamed red, and at the moment, resembling a giant bird, it swung its green wings, sending a terrifying wind current mixed with blades-like sharpness swiftly toward the high platform.
Steelix appeared behind Natsuhiko immediately.
Its whole body made of solid metal was unbelievably scarred in an instant under the blowing of this horrific airflow, and Audino had no time to heal.
The authority of the Divine Beast, evident!
It's close!!
Feeling the booming and trembling from the massive body collapsing behind him, Natsuhiko gritted his teeth tightly, not uttering a word.
"Tornado——!!"
Tornadus saw its attack didn't work again, recalling the troublesome feeling from the battle with Giovanni, and roared in anger.
Kicking up a greater storm, this time it enveloped not only Natsuhiko but also all of his Pokémon.
However.
Natsuhiko's Pokémon resolutely stood behind him, forming a wall of flesh and bone to try and fend off this attack.
Obviously.
This attack was even stronger, and its furious impact was even more terrifying.
Before the attack arrived, the mere storm already made it hard for the Pokémon to stand.
"Melo, Melo, Melo!!"
Meloetta's voice held a sob, and tears that it originally held back became uncontrollable again.
But this time it wasn't because of its own pain, but because of the pain it foresaw Natsuhiko might suffer.
"Meloetta, don't worry, I'll be fine, and I'll definitely get you out,"
Natsuhiko quickly comforted through telepathy.
If it can't be helped.
He could only reveal Dragapult.
But to Meloetta, it only took this as Natsuhiko's consolation.
"Me... lo!!!"
Meloetta's summit burst forth with a colorful radiance, strands of gentle bright white energy like ribbons extended along Natsuhiko's deep-reaching arm, wrapping around him.
The next second.
Boom——!!
Amidst the explosive roar of Tornadus' attack, a black beam shot up from the ground, piercing the sky.
Brilliant black light penetrated the clouds.
Far from Ripple Town, the speeding Reshiram suddenly halted.
Equally urgent, clinging to its hair like riding a horse and accelerating was Victini, peeking its head from its dense fur.
"Ne mi?"
Victini blinked its eyes.
This scene, it was familiar.
Sorry, Reshiram knew it even better.
Reshiram's lips curved upward, sketching a graceful arc.
"Ne mi?" Victini looked curious.
'You knew long ago?'
Reshiram raised its head.
"Ne mi~~"
Victini suddenly realized.
Indeed.
Hearing this, Victini covered its mouth, its small eyes spinning round.
'I didn't hear oh, that 'little brat' wasn't me saying it oh.'
Whoosh——
Four Genesects whizzed past them.
Victini and Reshiram momentarily showed stiff expressions.
Stop them!
Meanwhile.
Giovanni, who had put away the defeated Nidoqueen, finally glanced toward Natsuhiko.
A smile on his face.
"Turns out you did take that stone, but that's fine, I don't need to act, 'Hero of Ideal, Natsuka.'"
As he spoke, he silently placed the special Pokeball held in his right hand back on his waist.
With the Pokeball's slight vibration, faintly emerged some wing flapping insect chirping sound, quiet like a silkworm whisper but seemingly transmitting for miles.
Putting away the ace for emergencies.
This time, Giovanni could finally focus all his attention on dealing with Landorus.
"Again!"
This time stepping forth was Nidoking.
Defeat and fight again, Giovanni showed no sign of retreat or fear, only absolute confidence.
Landorus also looked at the black beam rising to the heavens and nodded to Giovanni.
"Landorus!!"
Reshiram, Zekrom, I seem to finally understand why every time you appear, you bring a hero.
I seem to also find a like-minded fellow!
And having entered the Mixed Black Space, even Natsuhiko couldn't help but pause.
This scene.
Having occurred once, with it appearing again, it seemed less surprising.
You think so, don't you?
Zekrom?
Buzz——
A strand of dense azure electricity, flickering on and off, drew a design in the air.
Under the backdrop of Mixed Black Space, the outline gradually became clear.
Pure white and bright red outlined eyes, emotionless, looking at Natsuhiko.
Ideal Dragon.
Zekrom!
