The Abyssal Ruins had finally surfaced. The Pyramid, which stood out like a beacon guiding explorers toward it, was impossible to miss. The God Stone had to be enshrined inside!
Giovanni and Ghetsis had both come for the God Stone sealed here. Neither could pretend he didn't want it. As for who would claim it, that would come down to what each of them could do.
The two sides had tacitly called a temporary ceasefire. The Destroyer and the Transport Aircraft approached from opposite sides of the Abyssal Ruins, leaving their battle for later. That gave Mingyou and the others a chance to slip onto the island unnoticed.
Mingyou had no interest in fighting over the God Stone unless he could pick it up along the way. What mattered more was figuring out how to destroy the Abyssal Ruins. That was the simplest way to lift the curse.
"To destroy an island this big in so little time, we'd probably need the power of a Legendary Pokémon."
Akari muttered to herself. She was thinking of Miraidon; it was the only one here with that kind of power. Destroying an island was simple enough, but speed mattered. They needed to make the whole island vanish in an instant.
Reshiram, which had been listening to their conversation, suddenly flared with fire. The heat startled Mingyou into jerking his arm so hard he nearly hit Meloetta, who was hiding in his backpack.

Mingyou grumbled. He didn't dislike Reshiram; he just didn't want to be bound by its expectations of him. Clearly, though, it had found another way to keep him tied down.
Akari glanced at it. Reshiram could certainly destroy the island in an instant, but Mingyou would never agree to that, so she didn't suggest
