Xiao Ran had no intention of explaining just then. He summoned Diancie again. Jiran they were facing the power of a Legendary Pokémon, he would counter it with a Legendary Pokémon.
To be honest, although the Tapus were known as Alola's guardian deities, without the Radiant God's divine power, they probably could not even match an ordinary Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon. Even among lesser Legendary Pokémon, they were some of the weaker ones, nowhere near a Minor Legendary like Diancie.
"I'm not here for Sparkling Stones or Z-Crystals. I want to know what your appearance means. Does it mean Ultra Beasts are coming? And what about Metropolis?" Xiao Ran asked the silent Altar. Diancie's presence gave him all the confidence he needed.
Yet the Altar remained completely still, as though Xiao Ran's voice could not reach the other side through it.
"I have to protect my world, so if you can't give me an answer, don't blame me for destroying this Altar of yours!"
"As long as I cut off every passage connecting us, I believe even Ultra Beasts won't be able to find this world!"
Xiao Ran spoke sharply. Under normal circumstances, he could have talked things through, but he had little time left now.
The battle outside was growing fiercer. Quagsire was no longer the only one fighting. The violent energy fluctuations told him that Yun Mengqiu had joined the fight, and only an Elite Four Class Pokémon Trainer could have forced her to act.
In other words, an Elite Four Class Pokémon Trainer from the Federation Empire had arrived.
At that thought, Xiao Ran was ready to have Diancie attack and see whether she could destroy the Altar.
The War Ruins were covered in the Radiant God's divine power, so ordinary Pokémon and weapons could not truly destroy them.
