Where's the Ambush You Promised There Wouldn't Be?

Master Hu's figure became increasingly indistinct in the air, as though he might melt into the light at any moment.

He gazed at Yan Yang, complex emotions churning in his eyes—concern, expectation, and even... a faint trace of something akin to farewell?

"The situation inside is far more complicated than you can imagine, yet at its core, it is quite simple." Master Hu's voice remained calm. "The Dark Hunters, the remnants of the Kingdom of Azoth, the parasites within the League... all these seemingly separate forces have desires that converge upon one forbidden object that should never have existed in this world."

Yan Yang's heart jolted. So the Dark Hunters weren't the only enemy!

The Kingdom of Azoth... really did exist.

Then those people they had encountered before, the ones capable of forcibly making Pokémon Mega Evolve, were very likely from the Kingdom of Azoth.

He remembered that kingdom was renowned for its advanced industry and technology. But shouldn't their goal have been to find Magearna?

Why had they turned their sights on Volcanion instead?

In this time and space, Magearna and Volcanion had no connection at all. They did not even know each other.

He recalled the Pokédex records. Magearna might have ended up in the Alola Region.

Although Kalos and Alola were separated by a great distance, the connection between the two regions was not distant at all.

Speaking of this, one had to mention the three legendary beings who governed life, death, and order...

Since the other side had nearly gathered all the necessary conditions, it was practically inevitable that they would make a move against one of the Legendary Pokémon.

Perhaps he might even get to see one of those gods with his own eyes this time?
