The blinding light faded.
Amid the ruins of the collapsed building, Giant Rock Zygarde was on the verge of falling apart.
In the original story, the thing couldn't even withstand an attack from Complete Zygarde, let alone a free-for-all among Legendary and Mythical Pokémon like this.
And even if it could withstand them, that wouldn't be much of a problem.
Baimu had gotten this far on just three things—ruthlessness, loyalty, and plenty of "brothers"!
If three weren't enough, he'd bring in more! As many as it took!
But as it turned out, Mega Rayquaza, Hoopa Unbound, and Complete Zygarde were more than enough to crush the imitation Lysandre had created by fusing himself with Zygarde Cells.
"Move! Come on, move!"
Before anyone could approach the wreckage, Lysandre's roar rang out from inside the shattered Giant Rock Zygarde.
"Why? Why are you stopping me?"
"Humanity isn't worth your sacrifice, Zygarde!"
"Look at this world! As the guardian of order, are you just going to stand by and do nothing?"
His shouts had grown almost deranged.
Unfortunately for him, his words struck no chord with Zygarde. Even Z2, who was hostile toward humanity and trusted humans least of all, showed no reaction to his nonsense.
Z1 seemed inclined to answer, but when it saw Hoopa and Rayquaza silently gathering power for another attack, it promptly lost interest.
Lysandre kept trying to restore Giant Rock Zygarde. All he got for his efforts were three devastating beams of light that marked his utter defeat!
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening. A shock wave rolled through, carrying clouds of dust that made Baimu narrow his eyes. The ground trembled rapidly beneath his feet, as though it might split open at any moment.
"So this is the power of Legendary Pokémon..."
The sight, like a natural disaster
