"A chair made of piles of bones! Soul, the Professor is even more twisted than you!" Wing looked at Soul, his brother in misfortune, utterly stunned.
"Cough, cough-pfft!" Soul was equally horrified. With his internal organs damaged, the surge of emotion immediately brought on another violent coughing fit, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Could those bones belong to the people Pluto just mentioned-the ones who coveted Lugia's power?" Max's eyes widened as he stared at the bone chair on Lugia's back.
"The air's gotten so cold and clammy!" A shiver of dread ran through May, and her arms instinctively tightened around Manaphy.
"That bone chair isn't just a seat. It might be the key to controlling Lugia. Liu Qing, Caitlin, A Hen, let's destroy it together!" Cynthia's tone was grave. She made it sound simple, but they would have to defend effectively against Lugia's attacks while also destroying the chair. Worse still, a Red Gem the size of an adult's fist was set into it. One or two hits probably wouldn't be enough. Earlier, even after Salamence and Garchomp had attacked together more than a dozen times, they had only managed to destroy a Red Gem nearly ten times smaller than this one. The battle ahead would be unimaginably difficult.
"You want to destroy my Bone Throne? Heh, heh! I'll use your blood and lives as a blood sacrifice to secure my control over Lugia!" Pluto sneered relentlessly. Beneath him, Lugia had already gathered energy in its mouth and unleashed a dazzling Hyper Beam.
"Dodge!" Liu Qing shouted, pulling Cynthia onto Salamence's back with him. With a beat of its wings, Salamence shot into the air. Nearby, Hydreigon also took flight with A Hen and Caitlin aboard, while the other Pokémon scattered to evade the attack.
