Clang!
A mysterious figure wearing ancient knight's armor slowly emerged onto Kyogre's back.
Holding a sheathed longsword, the figure stood beneath the heavens with effortless composure. Coupled with those earlier words, the figure seemed like this place's rightful master.
Below, Vanton slowly turned like a puppet. Sweat rolled down his forehead with every passing moment, as though he were enduring immense pressure. But at last, he turned around. His pupils abruptly contracted as he stared in horror at the sight before him, his breath catching!
The silent presence in the sky was barely larger than the Deep-Sea Submarine, yet gazing at it felt like staring into the ocean—the world itself.

A blur abruptly shot up from the beach. Pidgeot folded its wings, clutching Jack in its talons, and hurtled toward the nearby forest.

The Armored Man's muffled voice rang out. "Brave Bird?"

Jack immediately took out the Pokémon Egg he had been protecting against his chest, his expression grave. "Alakazam, please, use Teleport on this Pokémon Egg!"
Without a doubt, the Mysterious Armored Man
