Arceus: "?"

Temple Ruins.

Arceus glared furiously at Dialga and Palkia, who had been knocked to the ground. His voice was filled with rage and authority. "Even you two are helping the humans?"

Dialga and Palkia flew back into the air and let out a series of cries at Arceus, seemingly trying to persuade him.

But their words clearly only made Arceus angrier. He raised his head high as the Flame Plate burst with dazzling light. Arceus transformed into a Fire-type and unleashed a terrifying Flamethrower, sweeping it across Dialga and Palkia.

Dialga was struck, its massive body sent flying backward before crashing into the ruins and smashing several fallen stone pillars.

Palkia sealed itself within a confined space in an attempt to block the attack, but the Flamethrower was powerful enough to tear through space itself.

The next second, the space around Palkia shattered completely, and its enormous body fell after Dialga.

Seeing this, Sheena frowned tightly.

She and Kevin led Ash and the others forward to a raised platform, where they shouted at Arceus, "Hey! Arceus, please give us some time! We'll definitely help you recover the Life Orb!"

Arceus looked at her coldly. "Humans can never be trusted! I will never trust humans again!"

As he spoke, he unleashed Judgment Shards at them once more.

Seeing this, Dialga and Palkia flew forward again.

But their actions only caused the fury burning within Arceus to grow fiercer.

He abandoned Judgment Shards and instead unleashed Dragon Pulse, knocking Dialga and Palkia back once more. "Stay out of this!"

"Arceus!" Ash cried anxiously when he saw Dialga and Palkia badly injured.

Pikachu beside him also let out an urgent cry. Electricity surged across its body, forming a powerful bolt of lightning that shot toward Arceus.

Unexpectedly, such a simple move struck Arceus
