I Will Shoot You Down Here!

"Alert! Alert!"

Inside the laboratory, the instruments connected to Larousse City's urban management system continuously emitted piercing alarms.

But Lund Dr. and the others had no time to care about that. Their gazes were all fixed on the meteorite at the center of the laboratory.

They had just discovered that their team's efforts over the past four years had not been in vain.

Although its bodily regeneration function had yet to activate, Deoxys's consciousness had miraculously awakened ahead of time—and it had even become friends with Lund Dr.'s son, Xiao Chao!

This also meant that their research direction had been correct. Next, they only needed to put it into practice.

"Bimi?"

Victini placed its tiny hand against the exposed section of a device resembling an interface, tilting its head as though asking whether it only needed to release energy into this spot.

"That's right. Once we give the signal, charge energy into it!"

Lund Dr. quickly nodded, his gaze becoming even more focused.

Some time had passed since Larousse City's isolation from the outside had been lifted. Natural winds had once again blessed the city, and the external wind power generation equipment had accumulated enough electricity to activate the awakening device at maximum load.

According to calculations and estimates, two full-load laser irradiations should be enough to activate Deoxys's regeneration function.

—but now, every second counted. The unending explosions outside made it clear to them that an intense battle was underway.

On his own, Luo Mu was holding back two Rayquaza crowned with the title of Sky Dragon, as well as another Deoxys, an extraterrestrial Pokémon that had descended from space.

To break the deadlock, they had to do as Luo Mu said and awaken the second Deoxys.

—Whether they succeeded depended on whether the energy Victini shared truly worked
