Cycloze: What Do You Do When Your Cover Is Blown Out of Nowhere?

The instant Groudon's presence vanished, Su Hao, Reshiram, and Diancie and the others watching the battle below all noticed it.

After all, Groudon and Reshiram had just been preparing to clash with their ultimate moves. Such an enormous presence and that much energy had simply disappeared—anyone who wasn't blind would have noticed.

Hiding beneath Diancie's Dazzling Gleam barrier, Cycloze covered its eyes as though recalling some unbearable memory, its face twisted in discomfort.

High in the sky, the moment Reshiram noticed Groudon vanish, it cut off the energy supply to Inferno Overdrive: Blue Flame Style and focused all its strength on absorbing the gigantic fireball that contained terrifying energy and heat.

—With Groudon gone as a target, if it allowed that fireball, condensed from Reshiram's full power, to fall, the entire Northern Village Secret Realm would likely burn away.

Fortunately, Reshiram had excellent control over its own power. Though it took considerable effort, it could separate the Blue Flare mixed with Z Power. Other Legends without sufficient control over their own strength could not have accomplished such a thing.

By the time Reshiram landed atop the mountain with Su Hao, its voice was already tinged with obvious exhaustion.

"I'll go back and rest for a while. Before that ancient dragon vanished, I sensed a faint temporal-spatial displacement. It was likely sent from the past into the present by some force, then automatically returned once that force disappeared."

After leaving those words behind, Reshiram transformed into a streak of divine light and vanished into Su Hao's Sea of Psyche.

"Thanks for your hard work." Su Hao nodded and replied softly.

Forcibly canceling a move unleashed at full power was no easy task for Reshiram either. Su Hao understood its exhaustion.

"Ogerpon!!!"

Like a whirlwind, Ogerpon threw itself into Su Hao's arms.
