It could be said that even when facing Dark Mewtwo, Reshiram had never felt this much pressure.
While secretly cursing Kyurem for being so sharp at the worst possible time, Reshiram forced itself to remain calm. "I don't understand what you mean."
"Ho ho~ You don't understand~?"
Black Kyurem narrowed its eyes and looked Reshiram up and down before saying unhurriedly,
"Forget about me for now, but you... no, you True Dragons shouldn't be able to lie, right?"
"In that case, let me ask you—"
"You... are you hiding something from me?"
"..."
Reshiram answered Black Kyurem with a long silence.
Silence could indeed circumvent the self-imposed restriction of "not being able to lie."
But that only made Black Kyurem even more certain of its guess.
Reshiram really was hiding something from it!
Nearby.
Having already exited Mega Evolution, Zeraora flew with the aid of a powerful magnetic field, its gaze constantly shifting between Reshiram and Black Kyurem, who had openly fallen into a standoff.
The big cat's instincts told it that something had happened.
But with Reshiram refusing to speak and Black Kyurem refusing to let anyone go, it was starting to feel a little lost.
Just as the two sides seemed ready to remain deadlocked forever,
a voice Zeraora had not heard in ten years suddenly rang out in its mind.
"Zeraora, just bring the two of them over. I'll be waiting for you at the edge of the Arctic Circle."
Though the voice carried a trace of helplessness, Zeraora could never mistake it.
—Because it belonged to its favorite Trainer!
The moment it realized he had returned, Zeraora's eyes lit up slightly, and an unconscious purr like a motorcycle engine rumbled from its throat.
The confusion on its face instantly turned into undisguised delight.
