Better to Go Completely Mad! (Two-in-One)

Hydreigon was back!

And at such a critical moment.

Aegislash was still absorbing the metal's energy and couldn't leave. The Pokémon had just endured a grueling battle unlike any they had faced before. After expending enormous effort and draining all their strength and stamina to finally defeat the three Aggron, their guard had relaxed—and then it came.

The Pokémon dragged their exhausted bodies back to Xia Yan's side, gritting their teeth.

The three Aggron had already collapsed to the ground, unable to battle.

Xia Yan frowned deeply as he watched the black speck in the distant sky grow ever closer and larger.

It seemed unaffected by the violent currents of Rayquaza's Alternate Space.

Or rather, the seven-colored crystal it carried had minimized the currents' effects.

Its undisguised Intimidate and wanton malice could be felt clearly even from afar.

It was very fast.

Xia Yan had no time to clean up the battlefield. He could only toss out Poké Balls and recall the three Aggron.

Among the fallen Pokémon were quite a few Gym Leader-level ones, but he obviously couldn't spare them any attention right now.

He turned his head and glanced at the still-wriggling liquid metal underground.

Xia Yan let out a long breath.

They couldn't leave!

This was absolutely a rare opportunity for Aegislash.

Who knew whether, after leaving and returning later, some other Pokémon would beat them to it?

Therefore—

Xia Yan's gaze sharpened as he narrowed his eyes at the approaching Hydreigon.

Were they going to clash with it now?

He looked at the Pokémon beside him, each of them exhausted.

Xia Yan slowly raised his hand.

Though he was somewhat unwilling, it seemed that Dragapult was the only one they could rely on now.

Were they going to hide beneath Dragapult's protection through another battle?
