"What... what exactly is that?!"
Why did it suddenly get dark?
"Quickly, go and invite the Leon over!!!"
The entire sky seemed to be swallowed up by this dark vortex, and an atmosphere of fear spread among the crowd. The Prosecutor and Pokémon League Police responsible for maintaining order quickly guided the crowd outside.
They didn't know what the black skeletal dragon in the sky was, but they had received orders from Leon and Rose to evacuate the people of Hammerlocke as soon as possible.
"Quickly, let's stop him!"
Although he didn't know what Eternatus wanted to do, Leon felt an extremely strong Pressure from the energy pillar, a Pressure he had never felt before, even though Eternatus this kind of Pressure just now.
The Pokémon's attacks struck the energy beam but had no effect whatsoever; they were all swallowed up by the energy beam.
"Leon!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Leon turned around and saw Professor Magnolia and Sonia standing outside the Arena. Sonia was holding a very thick ancient book in her hand.
"Sonia? Professor Magnolia? What are you doing here? Get out of here! This is not a place for you!"
Watching Sonia run towards him, Leon felt no joy. The situation was now beyond his control, and Leon did not want his loved ones to be harmed.
Seeing Leon yell at her, Sonia was unwilling. She hugged the ancient book to her chest and said:
"My grandma and I are here on important business! Dr. Oleana, look at this! My grandma and I just found this in an ancient book."
Sonia opened the ancient book to the middle section and pointed to a line of text in the center, which Oleana was referring to.
Oleana, who was standing next to Rose, stepped forward and looked at the words that Sonia was pointing to, her expression slowly becoming serious.
"So it was him! He's the culprit behind this whole situation! No wonder things were a bit strange!?"
Looking at the words on the ancient book, Oleana seemed to have found the answer. According to the records in the ancient book, Eternatus was an alien calamity that survived by plundering external energy.
Or you could say he's the culprit behind the depletion of Galar Energy.
"Back then Eternatus caused the Darkest Day phenomenon to absorb energy from the Galar region..."
Sonia paused, glanced up at the purple pillar of light piercing the sky and the black vortex in the heavens, and continued, "The situation is exactly the same as it was back then."
After learning of Eternatus's purpose, Rose felt heavy-hearted. However, even if Eternatus was not Eternatus, simply sealing it away would not prevent it from absorbing the energy of the Galar region, which would eventually lead to Galar's decline.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Unless... we can completely eliminate Eternatus.
But now even the Leon and the other hall masters have no way to Eternatus, so how can they talk about solving the problem?
About two minutes passed, and all the Pokémon were exhausted from fighting without any results. Opal's Alcremie had even been unable to use Dazzling Gleam.
The swords beneath the Aegislash swung and smoked, but to no avail.
Suddenly, the purple energy beam disappeared, and Eternatus size was already like Dynamax, became even thicker and longer, and the spinal bone-like appendages also became even larger.
The skeletal structure of the sternum disappeared, while the core detached from the body and suspended in the air, surrounded by the original four claws.
Most of his body was coiled around the core into a huge vortex, with the tail at the top and the front end extending from the bottom. The original tentacles had also detached from his body and were now encircling the outside of the vortex.
Five heads branched off from the front of its body, like a giant claw, as if it wanted to grab the entire Galar region. Each head at the front was covered with segmented, spiky, dark purple energy-like material, and at the end of each head was an Illuminate pink eye.
Looking at the Eternatus, whose size could blot out the heavens and earth, Leon seemed to understand why the ancient Galar had named him Darkest Day.
Kabu, the Gym Leader of Motostoke, took out another Poké Ball and released an Intermediate King level Torkoal, attempting to use Torkoal's Drought to illuminate the darkness.
A minute passed, and the sky remained dark, without a single ray of light; even the weather forecast had failed.
In its Eternamax form, Eternatus's enormous body completely obscured the sky above Hammerlocke.
Is this Eternatus in its full state?
Eternatus was already very Pressure, became even stronger, causing Pokémon of the mid-level Elite Four and below to be unable to unleash their moves under this Pressure.
"Everyone, try firing again!"
Leon, unwilling to give up, gave another order.
Facing attacks from a host of Elite Four- level, even Champion level Charizard and Champion level Alcremie, the Eternamax Eternatus suffered absolutely no damage.
Now, it's time to send those ants who Taunt us to meet their equally foolish ancestors!!!
Eternatus no longer passively endures, but launches a counterattack.
Countless beams of purple energy shot out from the center of the enormous claw and from various parts of the body, indiscriminately striking all the Pokémon and Pokémon Trainer present.
"Lapras!!!"
Melony's Lapras and Frosmoth were hit by the purple energy beam and instantly lost their ability to fight.
Just as another purple energy beam was about to hit Lapras, and Melony's Poké Ball was unable to recall Lapras due to the interference of the purple energy, in desperation, Melony rushed towards Lapras and stood in front of him to Lapras.
A green figure flashed by, and the Copperajah of Rose appeared. A green energy shield appeared in front of the Copperajah, blocking the purple energy beam.
But how could one easily withstand the attack of Eternatus?
The emerald green energy shield was already covered with cracks and was about to collapse, while the purple energy beam was about to break through.
Another green figure rushed over; it was Peony's Copperajah. It also created a bright green energy shield, blocking the purple energy beam when Rose's Copperajah's Protect was breached.
The purple energy beam, which had already been weakened once, ultimately failed to penetrate the second energy shield, but it did leave the second energy shield riddled with cracks.
The two-tiered Intermediate King level Copperajah Protect managed to block Eternatus's ordinary attack with its defensive power.
Rose turned to look at Peony, wanting to say thank you but unable to utter the words.
This was the first time the two brothers had ever worked together.
