Xia Yan's "Infinite Legion" Takes Shape

Double Ponytail?

Zygarde froze when it heard that name.

But very quickly,

it sensed something unusual too.

Or rather,

as the guardian of order in the Kalos Region, its senses should have been sharper than Xia Yan's.

It should have noticed the anomaly in the sky long ago, but it had been busy gathering Cells and had not paid much attention to that.

Following Xia Yan's gaze,

it saw that Yveltal had originally dominated the skies, its Dark Aura completely enveloping the surrounding area.

But now, a surging blue flame rose at the horizon, dyeing the sky like the lingering glow of a sunset.

And this radiant glow eroded the dark clouds at an astonishing speed.

In just a few seconds, the dark clouds were compressed, their coverage shrinking by half.

Beneath that brilliant glow, a snow-white Pokémon beat its wings. The flowing fur behind its head split into two strands, their ends stained with a faint halo by the radiance, like two fluttering ponytails.

Wasn't that Double Ponytail?

The White Dragon.

The Dragon of Truth.

Reshiram!

"Screech—!!"

Noticing Reshiram's approach and feeling its Dark Aura being suppressed,

Yveltal ignored the three people and their Pokémon still entangling it below

and roared at Reshiram.

Layer upon layer of rippling sound waves stirred endless currents of air, carrying an aura of destruction and death. Its Dark Aura was bolstered as well, showing signs of pushing back.

"Roar—!!"

Reshiram refused to yield in the face of Yveltal's counterattack.

It answered with a resounding dragon's roar.

Crimson flames erupted from its torch-like tail, and its momentum surged abruptly, not the least bit inferior.

Reshiram's Turboblaze Ability and Yveltal's Dark Aura held each other in check, making it impossible to determine a victor in the short term.

"That is..."

As Drasna and Wikstrom finally
