When Ninetales appeared before them, everyone's expression darkened.
The black curtain overhead was still spreading, engulfing all the waters around Mt. Pyre.
Black lightning and fierce winds sealed off the area. Towering waves surged as the sea raged.
Ninetales had now reclaimed all the lost energy on Mt. Pyre. Unconscious humans lay scattered across the island, while countless wild Pokémon trembled among the ruins.
At the summit, everyone struggled to suppress the negative emotions rising from deep within them as they stood ready to face Ninetales. Even the dark organizations, which would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, had to yield before Ninetales's overwhelming strength and fight alongside the Pokémon League.
Elite Four member Drake ignored Tabitha and Matt as they approached. His expression grave, he stared at Ninetales and said in a low voice,
"Ninetales, have you forgotten the terms of our agreement? Or are you planning to break it unilaterally?"
Beside him, Salamence watched Ninetales's every move.
"As the guardian, you..."
"Humans!!!"
That icy voice rang out again. Scarlet light gleamed in Ninetales's eyes as Ninetales turned and opened its mouth, unleashing a jet of dark green flame!
Spectral figures writhed within the flames, charging toward Salamence and Drake with an intense aura of death!
"Completely lost, then... Salamence! Use Dragon Breath!"
Drake frowned and quickly retreated. Beside him, Salamence roared and soared into the air, pouring out a torrent of purple energy. The two streams of energy collided violently in midair!
Boom!
But with powerful Ghost-type energy and mutated lost energy infused into it, Ninetales's Flamethrower possessed a tremendous devouring force!
Salamence's Dragon Breath was actually being eaten away!
Watching from the sidelines, Tabitha and Matt had no choice but to act. After all, they could not obtain the ancient writing on the sealing stone unless
