"Cough, cough, cough..."
The billowing smoke cleared, revealing the devastated battlefield in the distance.
Two deep furrows scarred the ground, still giving off a scorched smell. A little farther ahead was an enormous crater, the site of the explosion moments before. At that moment, a huge cocoon of black light enveloped it.
"Gengar!"
The black cocoon dispersed, and Mega Gengar roared furiously at the enormous upper-bodied clay figure in the distance. Beneath Mega Gengar, Wen Xu, Gamino, and Silvally were unharmed.
Fortunately, Mega Gengar was immune to Normal-type attacks. Otherwise, those two Hyper Beams would have been enough to kill everything instantly.
The people scattered by the explosion's shock wave were still reeling when an enormous black hole appeared over Bakia Island. Everyone realized what had happened.
Giratina intended to make this its next breakthrough point!
Panic spread at once. Just then, Sara stepped forward.
"Everyone, don't throw yourselves into disarray! We're all Ace Trainers from different countries! We can only survive if we join forces!"
Everyone came back to their senses and nodded firmly. Then they sent out their Pokémon.
An enormous arm slammed into the ground, and a terrifying earthquake instantly caused widespread collapse. Before anyone could act, they were forced to defend themselves. After a while, the earthquake subsided, and the once-sprawling Gymnasium had become nothing but ruins.
Everyone helped pull one another out of the rubble, only to be greeted by an apocalyptic sight.
The Pokémon League was located at the center of Bakia Island. Beyond that lay the island's untouched natural terrain.
Countless black holes of all sizes appeared throughout the area occupied by the Pokémon League.
Everyone had received messages from around the world and understood what had happened.
One relatively small Golurk after another emerged, surrounding the ruins.
"Xiaohan! Hold on tight!" Cheng
