A green shield spread outward from Zygarde, blocking an attack powerful enough to destroy all of Hammerlocke.
In its Complete Forme, Zygarde even possessed the power to overwhelm Xerneas and Yveltal simultaneously.
As the supreme member of the XYZ Trio, Zygarde was no weaker than Eternatus. It, too, was a Legendary Pokémon at the Ultra-Major Legendary level.
"What? What is that? That blob of slime you carry around every day?" Lin Mingzhe stared in disbelief at the figure shielding them. Had he not seen it leap out of Xiao Ran's bag, he could never have imagined that it was the same soft, floppy, big-eyed slime from before.
"This is Zygarde, a Legendary Pokémon from the Kalos Region and the observer of the world. At full power, its strength approaches the Ultra-Major Legendary level, but it can't maintain this state for long!" Xiao Ran explained, looking up at the sky with a hint of unease.
Even through the green shield, they could feel the terrifying fluctuations of energy in the sky. A clash between Legendary Pokémon was simply too frightening.
Just one exchange of moves was enough to wipe Hammerlocke off the map.
Had he not brought Zygarde's Core along, even if they survived under Hoopa's protection today, countless low-level Pokémon Trainers and wild Pokémon around Hammerlocke would have died. Not even their remains would have survived; they would have been reduced directly to dust.
After blocking the energy surging down from the sky, Zygarde broke apart into cells again with a "pop," leaving only a black wolf-like dog roaring at the heavens.
That was Zygarde in its 10% Forme. It was not particularly strong, but it still possessed the strength of a Legendary Pokémon, enough to handle certain emergencies.
"What? What? That's it? That was way too short!" Jiang Cheng
