Almost the instant Zacian slammed into the energy defensive Barrier, Deoxys followed up once more.
"Superpower!"
As Lu Ze's voice fell, Deoxys pinned Zacian to the ground.
Energy burst from Deoxys's hands, and Zacian's body instantly sank into the ground, creating a massive crater in the center of the arena.

But while some cheered, others wore rather unpleasant expressions.
For example, Zamazenta, who had just watched her older sister
