Everyone had gathered in a circle, with the tiny Cosmog shining in their midst.
"It started shortly after Ultra Megalopolis Tower lit up. A huge amount of energy seems to be gathering inside Cosmog!" Veranica told Xiao Ran. Everyone present was an Awakened, so they were familiar with sensing fluctuations in energy.
"A huge amount of energy started gathering inside Cosmog when Ultra Megalopolis Tower lit up?" Xiao Ran paused, then understood. This had to be caused by Necrozma's power.
Cosmog was itself a part that had split off from Necrozma's body, much like Dynamax Ore, which contained Dynamax Energy that likewise belonged to Eternatus.
By restarting Ultra Megalopolis Tower, Xiao Ran had indirectly awakened Necrozma, who slumbered underground. As the Radiant God's power spread, Cosmog had absorbed a tremendous amount of energy and begun evolving on the spot.
"Xiao Ran, Ultra Megalopolis Tower's energy is extremely unstable. There seems to be a massive loss during transmission!" The voices of Apollo and Team Rocket sounded in his earpiece again. Xiao Ran turned to look and saw the light on Ultra Megalopolis Tower flickering, apparently extremely unstable.
Even so, the pillar of light in Ultra Megalopolis was still incredibly conspicuous, illuminating almost all of Ultra Space.
"Don't worry. Cosmog is absorbing the energy. It'll be fine in a little while!" Xiao Ran said, turning his attention back to Cosmog.
The white light around it grew more and more intense, while its already small body slowly shrank.
Not only that, but as Cosmog evolved, the metal table beneath it began to deform, steadily sagging downward.
"Cresselia! Calyrex! Stabilize the table!" Xiao Ran immediately summoned the two Legendary Pokémon and had them temporarily reinforce the table and chairs with psychic power, keeping Cosmog's evolution from being disturbed.
"What's going on? It's getting smaller?
