"Mi..."
Miraidon had reverted to Restricted Mode. Shivering from Kyurem's power, it lay on the ice.
It had watched Zekrom fall, yet it had no desire to keep fighting. It desperately wanted to save Meloetta from Kyurem's control, but it could do nothing.
Could it only trust its companions?
White Kyurem activated Overdrive Mode and shot into the air. It unleashed Ice Burn again, and only by using Moonblast and Stone Edge together could Bloodmoon and Ursaluna barely hold it back.
"Are you okay?"
Akari raised an arm against the shockwave and glanced at Mingyou. Seeing he was unharmed, she made her decision. "You attack. I'll cover you! This is definitely the strongest opponent you've ever faced!"
"Got it!"

Flutter Mane could carry Ogerpon into the air. They all wanted to rescue Meloetta. Even if they could not win, they would give it everything they had.
The battle began in earnest. Akari sent Typhlosion, Wyrdeer, and Basculegion to provide cover. This opponent truly was troublesome. If she had not given up her power and returned to an ordinary life after defeating Sinnoh Almighty, she could have beaten Kyurem easily.

Mingyou exposed the Z-Ring and Dynamax Band on his wrists, waiting for the right moment to use them. There was no reason to hold anything back now...
With both trainers directing their Pokémon, the tactic
