"Please, WarGreymon!"
The Poké Ball traced a graceful arc through the air.
The next second, a red beam surged out.
It slowly condensed together,
turning into a two-meter-tall, upright, dragon-humanoid Pokémon.
"Roar!!"
A clear dragon roar rang out.
Shiko's figure appeared before the eyes of every spectator.
The bright yellow Chrome Digizoid Battle Armor
gleamed brilliantly beneath the sunlight, carrying a sharp and resilient metallic texture.
His deep, dark-blue eyes
burned with an intense fighting spirit.
Terrifying Dragon Pressure spread through this space, raging and sweeping outward.
That powerful oppressive force
made the barrier around the battle arena tremble violently, letting out creaking sounds.
The next second,
dense cracks covered it.
The entire oval-shaped protective barrier
looked as if it had been covered by a huge spiderweb.
When the cracks spread from the bottom all the way to the top,
it finally could no longer withstand Shiko's powerful oppressive aura.
Crack!!!
Piece after piece of transparent glass-like barrier scattered down.
It looked just like a heavy rainstorm.
"What Pokémon is that!?"
"Damn! I've never seen it before!"
"What a powerful aura! And it looks way too cool!"
"It looks strong just standing there! That pressure is completely maxed out!"
"Didn't you see the barrier shatter!? That's ridiculous!"
"Could that really be a Second-tier Legendary?"
"..."
In the stands,
countless spectators let out cries of surprise the instant Shiko appeared.
That terrifying Dragon Pressure
could be felt clearly even from so far away.
That kind of heart-palpitating oppressive aura
made people's legs tremble, as if they could not stop themselves from kneeling down and worshiping him.
Looking at this unfamiliar yet powerful Pokémon,
they subconsciously took out their Pokédex devices, wanting to search for information about WarGreymon.
Unfortunately,
they found nothing.
This unfamiliar Pokémon
seemed as if it had never once been recorded in history, as if it had appeared out of nowhere.
"Wuooh..."
On the battle arena,
Darkrai let out a low, muffled sound.
The aura from this new opponent
made even him feel intense pressure and challenge.
He could sense it.
The guy before him
should be at the same level of strength as himself.
At the level of a Second-tier Legendary.
However,
he was definitely much stronger than the Mew from earlier!
"Darkrai!!"
"Wuooh!!"
Shuzo only called out once.
The arms formed from dark matter twisted and swayed continuously.
A vast amount of Dark-type energy gathered in Darkrai's palm.
With one raise of his hand,
a massive black void that covered the sky above the entire tournament venue appeared in an instant.
Its edges were still twisting and expanding in a spiral.
The enormous black void devoured every trace of light in the space.
In an instant,
the entire venue became as pitch-black as if all the lights had been extinguished.
All that could be seen was the utterly dark void overhead.
"It's a good thing you shattered that barrier. Otherwise, the destructive range of that black void would not have reached this scale."
Shuzo's faint voice sounded from within the darkness.
As soon as his words fell,
the entire world before their eyes underwent a tremendous change.
It was still this field, still this battle arena.
Only,
there was not a single trace of light around them. There was only thick darkness stretching endlessly beyond sight.
But strangely enough,
within this darkness,
everything around them could still be seen clearly.
In fact,
when they looked outward,
even the hundreds of thousands of spectators sitting in the stands could be seen clearly.
This...
What exactly was going on?
A confused look surfaced on Himeko's face.
And it was not only her.
The hundreds of thousands of spectators outside
had the exact same expression and reaction.
Everyone had fallen into a dumbfounded state.
It was as if, in the blink of an eye,
the entire world had changed.
"Because of Dark Void, everyone has been dragged into Darkrai's nightmare world."
"To put it simply,"
"everyone has fallen asleep, and they are all having the same dream."
"The next battle will begin inside this dream controlled by Darkrai!"
"I will deliver to you the most extreme and terrifying nightmare!"
