Those enormous wings were far too distinctive.
Naturally, the spectators instantly recognized which Pokémon they belonged to.
A dense, ominous aura of darkness and death shrouded that pair of wings.
The atmosphere was oppressed to the extreme.
Every spectator at the scene felt as though they were suffocating.
"Shriek!!"
A piercing cry tore through the clouds.
Those broad wings began to unfurl without restraint.
Buzz!!
For no reason at all, a wild gale rose in the previously calm sky.
In an instant, the entire space darkened.
Rumble!!
Pitch-black lightning split down from the sky, one bolt after another, like black rifts torn open in space.
Crash!!
That pair of black wings stretched to their absolute limit in that instant.
A triangular, red-and-black, pointed head broke free from the shell.
Around its neck was a drifting ring of long gray fur.
The moment everyone saw this Pokémon's face—
The hearts of everyone present stopped beating!!
This...
This was the legendary First-tier Legendary!
Oblivion Wing!
Yveltal!
According to legend, at the beginning of creation, it was born from the abyssal land of darkness.
The deathly aura it carried turned every living thing in its path into endless scorched earth.
Nearly half the planet suffered devastating damage beneath its rampage.
This water-blue, life-bearing planet had almost become a dead star with no trace of life.
Fortunately, in the end, another First-tier Legendary, Xerneas, who brought life and hope to the world, took action.
In a brutal battle that lasted for dozens of days, Xerneas finally emerged victorious.
Yveltal was driven back to its dark land.
And after that piece of history recorded by ancient civilization—
Throughout the entire history of civilization,
There had never again been any news of Yveltal.
But no one could have imagined...
Today!
In the final battle of these finals, under the gaze of tens of thousands—
This First-tier Legendary, which had vanished without a trace for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years,
Had actually returned to everyone's sight!
"Shriek!!"
With a piercing cry,
Yveltal flapped its wings and stirred up a black storm.
Then,
Like a sharp arrow, it shot straight into the clouds!
Rumble!!
Pitch-black thunder exploded beside it.
That enormous pair of black wings spread wide.
They blotted out the sky and covered the sun, as though they had sealed off the entire heavens.
According to the records,
Yveltal's body length should have been around five meters.
But that wingspan—
It was at least thirty meters wide!
As it flew through the air,
Its outstretched body was like a colossal sky-beast!
As everyone looked up at that figure,
A powerful sense of despair suddenly surged in their hearts.
"I feel... my life force is draining away!"
In the spectator stands,
Someone spoke weakly.
"Ahhh!!!"
"My body! My body!"
"What is going on!? Why is this happening?"
Immediately afterward,
Shrill, terrified screams rose one after another.
In only the span of a single breath,
All the spectators noticed the changes happening to their bodies.
Their bodily functions were aging madly.
Their entire bodies were growing old at an exaggerated speed, rapidly withering as their life force continuously drained away!
Everywhere Yveltal's black aura covered,
All living beings
Were rapidly advancing toward death!
And that black aura
Was still continuously spreading at high speed toward even broader areas and spaces!
...
Yveltal's appearance
Instantly made this already highly watched final battle draw even more attention.
When the Second-tier Legendaries Mew and Darkrai had appeared in this final battle,
The top leadership of every Alliance across the continent had all, without exception, convened emergency meetings.
The existence of someone who controlled a Second-tier Legendary
Was already a power capable of overturning the entire world's balance of forces!
And now,
Yveltal's appearance
Made those higher-ups directly shift their entire Alliances into the highest wartime alert status!
Inside the meeting room,
The great figures were silent.
When they lifted their heads,
Outside the window,
A dense darkness like thick black ink was rapidly staining everything.
Beneath that darkness,
All plants and living beings withered into ash!
In that instant,
Everyone's hearts trembled fiercely.
This time,
Humanity had once again encountered a tremendous crisis that could destroy the entire species!
