At the same time as Ceruledge's mutation, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Amethio's gaze was filled with shock as he stared at the ghostly blue flames on Ceruledge's body turning pitch black.
Having been with Ceruledge for so long, this was the first time he had seen such terrifying Dark-type power appear on it.
Even when it had previously learned some Dark-type moves, this kind of situation had never happened.
But now, not only had Dark-type power appeared on Ceruledge, its intensity was even strong enough to suppress the Ghost-type energy on its body.
Amethio reacted instantly, there was definitely something wrong with this Sealing Pillar.
"Ceruledge, what's wrong with you?"
"Roar~", Ceruledge turned around, letting out a roar that didn't belong to its species at all.
It looked at Amethio behind it with indifference, its eyes full of disdain.
As if it didn't recognize its own trainer at all.
Amethio immediately understood, this Sealing Pillar was the problem.
"Quick, throw away those pillar fragments and get away from them!"
["Scram!",] A sinister voice squeezed out from Ceruledge's throat. Just that single word made people feel an uncontrollable urge to kill.
["I have been sealed for so long, and now I finally return to the world. Being able to use this Pokémon's body is your honor."]
"You…", Amethio stared at Ceruledge in horror, "You're Chi-Yu!"
["Chi-Yu? Is that what later generations call me?"], Ceruledge lowered its head in thought, then suddenly revealed a strange smile.
["But… I would still prefer you to call me by my original name, The Calamity of Fire!"]
["You are the first trainer and Pokémon I have encountered. I permit you to become my vassals."]
["Submit to me and help me break the seal. You will stand above all others, beneath only me, in the future Calamity Empire!"]
Seeing that they hadn't even escaped Giratina's pursuit before Ceruledge got possessed by another powerful Pokémon, Amethio felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
"Lord Chi-Yu, that might not be a good idea…"
"The current situation is a bit complicated. Reviving you might be simple, but building a Calamity Empire..."
Amethio really wanted to ask, there was already a monster in the Sinnoh region capable of defeating the deities of time and space, and here there was also a trainer with Giratina.
'Could you even beat them?'
'Lord Chi-Yu, the times have changed. The League is full of people with legendary Pokémon now!'
'If you can't win, then what's the point of building a Calamity Empire?'
'Even if you want to, could you not drag me into it?'
Seeing Amethio's hesitation, Chi-Yu's tone turned displeased, ["What, you don't believe me?"]
Amethio felt completely stuck between a rock and a hard place. It wasn't that he didn't believe. It was that he didn't dare to. The current Pokémon world's League side was just too strong. It wasn't something villains could shake so easily anymore.
Their Explorer Team hadn't even had the chance to fully show themselves before being forced into hiding underground.
"Lord Calamity, how about you take a look at what's behind us first?"
Amethio decided to remind Chi-Yu. If that thing died, it didn't matter, but it must not drag his Ceruledge down with it.
["What could possibly be there?"]
Chi-Yu spoke with disdain. As one of the Ruinous Pokémon that had nearly destroyed the Paldea region in the past, unless the other three Ruinous Pokémon appeared, it couldn't imagine anything here that could match it.
["Work with me. Help me break the seal. No matter what kind of danger you are in, I can crush everything for you!"]
["Is that so?",] Just as Chi-Yu laughed arrogantly, convinced of its invincibility, a faint telepathic voice suddenly appeared.
In the next moment, Chi-Yu was horrified to find that a magnificent gateway suddenly opened before it, and a terrifying power it had never encountered before surged out from within.
Right after that, a savage dragon head appeared.
The instant it emerged, Giratina did not hesitate. Terrifying Dragon-type power condensed within the Distortion World, forming a massive, solid energy claw in front of it.
Bang!
The moment the claw fell, Chi-Yu felt as if it were truly being struck by a dragon god.
Violent, ferocious, unstoppable!
And that was exactly the reality. In panic, Chi-Yu controlled Ceruledge's body and fired a Flamethrower toward the descending dragon claw.
But no matter how the flames raged, the dragon claw was completely unaffected.
Explosive sounds rang out continuously as the flames were suppressed to the brink of extinction.
In the end, the dragon claw struck down. The Ceruledge possessed by Chi-Yu was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the ground.
With just a single hit, Chi-Yu was stunned.
It couldn't understand why such terrifying power still existed in this world.
Amethio, standing nearby, spoke helplessly, "Lord Chi-Yu… you've seen it, right?"
"The times have changed. It's impossible to rule a region anymore. Why not run with us and discuss our plans together?"
["You want me to cooperate with mortals like you? Nonsense!"], Chi-Yu snapped violently, cutting off Amethio's words.
It suddenly realized, just because that attack didn't work didn't mean it truly couldn't win.
Using fire against Dragon-type power and failing, wasn't that perfectly normal?
But its true nature was Dark-type.
Even though it was currently using Ceruledge's body, Chi-Yu was still confident it could use Dark-type power to suppress this Ghost-type dragon.
Because… its attribute was superior.
["A mere Ghost-type dares to act arrogantly before me?"]
Chi-Yu roared wildly, controlling Ceruledge's body.
Pitch-black Dark-type energy surged out like a boiling tide from Ceruledge, completely enveloping it. That pure, soul-targeting malice made even the surrounding air turn thick and cold.
Under the invasion of this power, Ceruledge looked like a true Dark-type Pokémon.
In its understanding, Dark-type power naturally countered Ghost-type.
This was the law of the world.
That massive creature before it might be powerful, but in terms of attribute, it was completely suppressed by it.
Unless the other side's father was Arceus, Chi-Yu was fully confident it could take it down.
["Let me show you what true calamity power is! An eye for an eye!"]
Chi-Yu laughed wildly as it controlled Ceruledge's arms.
Giratina: "..."
It didn't understand why all these evil Pokémon acted like they were second only to the heavens.
Surely it hadn't been this stupid before, right?
But after hearing Chi-Yu's shouting, Giratina still curled its lips into a faint smile and decided to put on a good performance in front of Axel.
Ideally, it would crush the opponent in the very field it excelled at and completely beat it into submission.
That way, if this arrogant little thing was worthy of joining Axel's team, then Giratina would also gain a new subordinate.
