"Dragonite! Dragon Rush!!"
Miyazato Aisa's voice rang out,
carrying a note of utter resolve.
From the moment the battle formation had taken shape,
Minister Kenjiro and the others had already considered the possibility that there might be a super-intelligence involved.
If things went smoothly,
if they could withstand Mew's assault,
or if that not-quite-perfectly synchronized Mew could not fully bring out his strength,
then
they could force a breakthrough from the front.
By stacking up the fighting spirit of so many elite trainers,
they could win openly and head-on.
And if that plan failed,
they still had another preparation.
Directly take out Oba Genjo, the one issuing the orders.
As long as they cut off his connection to Mew,
this crisis would naturally be resolved.
Right now, the main force was holding the front line by force.
That meant their final hope
naturally fell upon Dragonite's peak, all-or-nothing Dragon Rush.
Under everyone's hopeful gaze,
Dragonite let out a roar.
A clear dragon's cry resounded through heaven and earth.
He folded his wings,
then plummeted from high in the sky like a yellow meteor.
His speed had reached an extreme.
Not only did it make his figure blur beyond recognition,
it also set off bursts of terrifying explosive sound.
Under the violent trembling of the air currents,
a layer of flame had already begun to coil around the surface of his body.
Wrapped in Dragon-type energy,
the terrifying force of his dive
came crashing viciously toward Oba Genjo.
Too late!!
Dragonite was simply too fast!
He had pushed Dragonite's speed advantage and potential to the absolute limit.
At such a short distance,
there was absolutely no way Oba Genjo could react in time.
Even less could he issue an order to Mew.
This hit was going to land!
Everyone's hearts relaxed.
Excitement and joy appeared on their faces.
As long as they cut off Oba Genjo's link to Mew,
this crisis would naturally be over!
Boom!!
Dragonite's body smashed down at an angle.
Just as everyone thought the attack had succeeded—
Clang!!
An unexpectedly crisp sound
rang through everyone's ears.
Around Oba Genjo,
there stood a thick, airtight, multicolored fortress.
Dragonite's diving attack
slammed into that wall,
and was actually stopped dead by force!
Crack!!
Under the collision of that terrifying impact,
that multicolored fortress
only split open by a tiny crack.
Whoosh!!
The very next second,
an Ice Beam shot toward Dragonite.
Dense Ice-type energy exploded outward,
and in an instant Dragonite lost the ability to battle and fainted.
The atmosphere at the scene grew heavy once more.
The joy and excitement on everyone's faces froze,
then changed abruptly
into despair.
"I already saw through your trick long ago!"
Oba Genjo let out a cold snort,
a mocking smile appearing on his face.
"These barriers were set here specifically to guard against you!"
Oba Genjo stretched out a finger
and lightly knocked on the multicolored fortress beside him, producing heavy thunk-thunk-thunk sounds.
These walls,
solidified from pure Psychic-type energy,
possessed excellent defensive properties.
Even Dragonite's Dragon Rush
could not break through them.
Oba Genjo had long since anticipated that the Military would use this move.
Everything had gone exactly as he expected.
It was over!
They had all been seen through!
Despair appeared on everyone's faces.
They went deathly pale.
At this moment, it felt as though an insurmountable towering mountain was pressing down on everyone's hearts, so heavy they could barely breathe.
"Kill them, Mew!"
Oba Genjo showed not the slightest mercy or hesitation.
Facing the trainers before him,
the cold gleam in his eyes
gave everyone present
a powerless terror, as if they had fallen into a freezing abyss.
"Kyoo!!"
Mew began gathering Psychic-type energy.
One Psycho Cut blade after another condensed again.
With those dagger-like blades hovering around them,
everyone felt their lives beginning a countdown.
"Chiu chiu~~"
Just then,
a trace of pain and struggle flashed across Mew's face.
Immediately after,
the Psychic-type energy he was controlling began to turn unstable and restless.
Crack, crack!!
The shapes of the Psycho Cut blades could no longer remain stable.
Cracks appeared,
and in the next instant they shattered into pools of pure energy.
"Mew!?"
This abnormal development
froze Oba Genjo's smile, and a trace of alarm appeared on his face.
But immediately afterward,
the feedback synchronized back from Mew struck his own mind.
Oba Genjo only felt a violent twisting pain in his brain,
and his expression became ugly as well.
He could sense
that there was a powerful third-party psychic force
constantly interfering with the connection between him and Mew.
And it was precisely because that third-party psychic force existed
that the originally stable psychic connection between him and Mew had begun to backfire.
Who was it!?
Who exactly was it!?
While forcibly suppressing Mew's backlash and struggle,
Oba Genjo began frantically searching for the source of that power.
On the battlefield at the other side,
the Military's quasi-Elite Four elite squad captains
were fighting fiercely with the members of Obsidian Team.
Isobe Himeko commanded Lopunny and Gardevoir,
shining brilliantly in the battle.
Lopunny and Gardevoir had only just stepped into the quasi-Elite Four tier.
Yet under Himeko's perfect command and coordination,
they were actually able to easily suppress Pokémon at the peak of the quasi-Elite Four level.
After defeating several quasi-Elite Four trainers from Obsidian Team,
an Elite Four-level Obsidian Team officer
took the initiative to confront Himeko.
On the Military's side,
members immediately stepped forward as well to assist.
Lopunny was responsible for offensive output.
Gardevoir handled control and support from the other side.
With the two complementing each other,
and with the added assistance of other Elite Four-level trainers,
Himeko was actually pressing that Elite Four-level officer back!
At this rate,
it would not take long before they defeated him!
Confidence spread across Himeko's face.
But all of a sudden,
something became wrong with Gardevoir's condition.
That beautiful, intelligent, mature lady-like Pokémon
found the Psychic-type energy around her turning chaotic and difficult to stabilize.
Gardevoir raised her head.
Her ruby-red eyes looked toward Mew in the sky, revealing a pained, struggling expression.
"What's wrong, Gardevoir?"
Himeko hurried forward and asked.
Following Gardevoir's line of sight, she also looked toward Mew in the air.
The aura around this Second-tier Legendary had also become chaotic and unstable, and even his face seemed twisted.
Wait!?
Seeing this scene,
Himeko suddenly recalled something.
She remembered
that Gardevoir carried the genes of a certain Psychic-type Legendary.
If that was the case,
then judging from what was happening now,
that Legendary gene was, in all likelihood,
Mew's!
