"Manaaa—!!"
Like ice crystals suddenly appearing in summer, a cry of the soul rang out.
Dian bore the brunt of it. His vision went black, and the Mental Power he had trained tirelessly day after day instantly fell into disarray. Then dizziness overwhelmed him, and he collapsed limply to the ground.
At the same time, the white Gengar beneath his feet gave a muffled groan. Unable to maintain the black barrier outside, Gengar was forcibly squeezed out of the Alternate Dimension. Pain filled those savage, blood-red eyes, and at last Gengar clutched that head and screamed, "Gengaa—!"
Bzzzz!!
Deep-blue vortices blasted out in every direction. Wherever they passed, flames died and living creatures' consciousnesses fell into chaos. Finally, the deep-blue shock waves shook the air itself, sending the pitch-black Airship in the sky flying over a dozen meters. A black aura of nightmares was forced out, only to be brutally suppressed, inch by inch, by the deep-blue pulses...
Soon!
Another cry pierced straight into their souls. "Manaaa—!!"
In an instant, a terrifying blue light of unparalleled intensity exploded. A deep-blue sun rose slowly from beneath the forest, its dazzling radiance sweeping up like a raging tornado and reaching into the depths of everyone's souls, triggering a chain reaction.
When everything settled, only a blue fairy remained in the sky, curiously surveying everything around it. The energy it had accumulated before its reincarnation had been exhausted in a single instant.
"Mana?"
The newborn Manaphy first gazed blankly at the blazing white sun hanging overhead. A blue membrane covered its deep-blue, almost black pupils, allowing it to look directly at the fierce sunlight.
"Mana..."
Manaphy slowly tilted its head back, its gaze moving from the blazing sun to the azure sky. Then it suddenly found a cool, aloof face before its eyes.
