Before long, everyone reached a stone bridge. They only had to cross it to leave the Small Town.
Looking at the fog ahead, they felt uneasy, afraid some monster might emerge from it.
Ailisi led by example, taking a Blissey into the fog first.
Seeing this gave the others confidence, and they scrambled to follow.
"Damn it, why can't I get out this way?!"
"I can't get out here either!"
"What should we do?"
As more and more people came back out of the fog, the crowd grew even more panicked.
"Calm down. With Darkrai here, I believe everyone's safety can still be assured."
Although Ailisi was just as confused, she still raised her voice to calm everyone down.
She believed that as long as Darkrai was there, there was no problem that couldn't be solved.
"This presence..."
Noticing that the Pokémon beside her were all trembling, Zhang Na suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Get out!"
Darkrai spread his hands, dark purple threads of energy gathering in them before finally forming a black beam that blasted into the sky!
Who was Darkrai attacking?
Everyone looked up into the sky. The same question was on all their minds.
"Palkia."
Ye Qing gazed high into the sky and spoke calmly, knowing that an unprecedented battle was bound to follow.
Outside.
The Pokémon League's highest command center in the Imperial Capital.
"Reporting to the Champion: a space-time rift has appeared above Longquan Town. Its cause is still under investigation."
"Report: the Purple Vortex in the Qinling Mountains has changed. The Ghost-type Elite Four suspects that some powerful being is about to emerge."
"Report: according to the latest notification, more than fifty students, teachers, and parents from the Alto Mare Breeder Academy are in Longquan Town. We've lost contact with them."
