"Cha!!!"
Darkrai suddenly clawed at the empty air with both arms! The crystalline wall of purple energy shuddered!
Then everyone's vision abruptly went black, and their minds briefly reeled! Yanmega hurriedly dodged the spreading shadows, forced to stop attacking!
Just then, amid a surge of black light, the purple mirror suddenly shattered! Glittering fragments filled the air! Light gradually returned...
Suddenly, the Masked Man shouted,
"Pidgeot! Use Agility and climb! Charizard! Use Smokescreen!!!"
At his command, Pidgeot beat its wings and shot upward, trying to seize the chance to escape the barrier! Charizard opened its mouth and released a billowing cloud of thick gray smoke, instantly obscuring Mr. Mime's and Yanmega's vision!
Meanwhile, Darkrai forcibly broke through Mr. Mime's blockade. Its sinking figure suddenly paused, and its blue eyes turned toward Yong's side. Then its eyes narrowed, the black shroud around its body rapidly contracted, and it melted into the shadows with Jupiter...
Aaron frowned.
"You actually slipped out through a gap? You're not getting away! Yanmega! Go after it! Speed Boost!"
Yanmega's wings vibrated rapidly, its figure seeming to flicker between solid and insubstantial! Its wings beat at a peculiar frequency, and in a flash, it broke through the smokescreen!
As it dove forward, streaks of white light continually flashed over its body. Whirling currents of air surrounded it, and its speed kept increasing as it raced after Darkrai, which had almost vanished into the shadows!
Aaron's voice immediately rang out,
"Bug Buzz!"
Then... an eerie sound engulfed the area! The intense buzzing once again slowed Darkrai's descent into the shadows, twisting its face with pain!
Beside him, Lucian shook his head and said softly,
"Mr. Mime! Severance: Magic Mirror Space!"
Once again, Mr. Mime grinned strangely and swept both hands through the air as though wiping glass!
