Chapter Summaries

Chen Huan and Chu Xin survived an ambush by Virgil after suspecting someone had provoked the Tyranitar they fought earlier. As Virgil’s attack targeted Chu Xin, the two were left facing a dangerous confrontation.

• Chen Huan’s Combee defeated the Dynamaxed Tyranitar, and Chu Xin treated its wounds before they continued toward the Dynamax Dragonite fossil.

• Virgil revealed himself with a Rhydon and seven Sandslash, and Chu Xin narrowly avoided earthen spikes when Xiao Wu lifted him out of danger.

Chu Xin and Chen Huan fought Virgil and his Pokémon after Virgil’s ambush failed. Chu Xin held off Virgil’s Sandslash while Chen Huan surrounded Virgil and Rhydon with Vespiquen’s Combee swarm, leaving Virgil trapped.

• Chu Xin suppressed his anger after Virgil’s surprise attack failed to injure him, and Kaka darted in to cut a patch of Virgil’s hair before returning to Chu Xin.

• Chen Huan directed Vespiquen’s Combee swarm with gestures until it surrounded Virgil and Rhydon, leaving Virgil with no apparent escape.

Virgil used strange stones to force Rhydon to absorb Dynamax Energy, causing it to become an uncontrollable, immensely powerful Dynamax Pokémon before killing him.

• Li Xing learned about the suspected international poaching operation and decided to keep traveling with Chu Xin and the others.
• After Ai Xing departed, Chen Huan wondered what the spatial-rift Pokémon was and hoped the Dynamax Dragonite’s remains would provide answers.
• At a Thief base, an old man extracted Dynamax Energy from the Dragonite fossil while its trapped blue-flame soul tried to attack him; he said Virgil should be dead and that he would join him soon.

• Ai Xing’s Charizard and Dragonite severely wounded Dynamaxed Gengar, but Gengar blocked Gyarados and Garchomp from attacking the machinery.
• Elvis used the machinery’s Dynamax Energy to restore Gengar and told Chen Huan it was the power of a god.
• Ai Xing realized the growing rift had to be stopped before the god emerged, while Chu Xin woke in a thatched hut beside Xiao Wu.
• Chu Xin and Xiao Wu discovered they were observing a projection of an ancient city and watched its people and Pokémon move through time.
• A meteor landed outside the city, and its purple energy caused Pokémon to grow giant and attack wildly.
• Chu Xin recognized the enormous being that emerged from the meteor and began shifting into another dimension as Eternatus.

• Zacian and Zamazenta resolved to fight Eternatus for the peace of the land.

Chu Xin chose to help Dragonite stop Eternatus, and Dragonite placed Xiao Wu in a trial to master its power. Xiao Wu relived visions of Chu Xin dying while protecting it, and Dragonite told it that it needed strength to protect others.

• Chu Xin felt Dragonite's grief and decided to let the fallen hero rest in peace rather than capture it.
• Dragonite showed Chu Xin the battle in the cave, where Elvis's equipment drew energy from its corpse to widen a rift containing Eternatus.

• Xiao Wu saw Chu Xin die protecting it from Dynamax Sandslash, and Dragonite told it that it needed strength to protect anyone.

Chu Xin awakened with Xiao Wu empowered by Dragonite’s will and joined Ai Xing in stopping Elvis’s plan to bring Eternatus through a spatial rift. After Xiao Wu helped defeat Gengar and the group destroyed the machines, Elvis prepared to sacrifice Gengar to keep the rift open.

• Elvis recalled the unconscious Gengar and prepared to feed it Dynamax Energy stones before throwing it into the rift.

Ai Xing, Chu Xin, and Chen Huan failed to stop Elvis from throwing a stone-fed Gengar into the spatial rift, allowing Eternatus to emerge. They faced the Legendary Pokémon’s powerful barrier and ended the chapter searching for a way to break through it.

• Chen Huan realized Elvis was feeding Dynamax stones to Gengar, and the controlled Pokémon swallowed them while shielding Elvis from attack.
• Ai Xing, Chu Xin, and Chen Huan attacked Gengar, but Elvis seized an opening and hurled it into the spatial rift before Garchomp could stop him.

• Chu Xin proposed searching Eternatus’s defenses for weaknesses, and the group prepared to test them bit by bit.

Ai Xing, Chen Huan, and Chu Xin broke through Eternatus's barrier and wounded it with coordinated attacks, but Eternatus absorbed enough energy to restore its strength and overwhelm them. It transformed into Eternamax Eternatus, leaving them facing an even more powerful foe.

• Ai Xing, Chen Huan, and Chu Xin broke Eternatus's Dynamax barrier, and Dragonite inside Xiao Wu attacked it with Dynamax Cannon.
• Ai Xing Mega Evolved Garchomp and attacked Eternatus with Draco Meteor while Chen Huan's Combee swarm restricted its movement and weakened it with status moves.

• Eternatus absorbed energy to heal and regain its strength, then blocked Mega Garchomp's Hyper Beam with Dragon Claw.
• Eternatus absorbed more energy and transformed into its Eternamax form, bursting through the cave and appearing in the sky.

In his Eternamax form, Eternatus overwhelmed Chu Xin, Chen Huan, and Ai Xing, while the rising Dynamax Energy sent Pokémon across the Uninhabited Zone into uncontrolled transformations. Just as Eternatus fired Dynamax Cannon at Chu Xin, Xiao Wu appeared and blocked the blast.

• Eternatus unleashed repeated barrages of Hyper Beams, breaking Chen Huan's Defend Order and knocking Vespiquen and the Bee Swarm out of the fight.

• Eternatus absorbed energy and caused Dynamax Energy to surge across the Uninhabited Zone, sending wild and trained Pokémon into uncontrolled transformations.
• Ai Xing's special police unit arrived and subdued rampaging Pokémon, but Eternatus's expanding influence remained a threat.
• Eternatus gathered Dynamax Cannon to kill Chu Xin and Chen Huan, but Xiao Wu appeared above Chu Xin and blocked the blast.

After Xiao Wu was gravely wounded protecting Chu Xin, Elder Dragonite guided Chu Xin to use the Dragonite Fossil and Dynamax Energy to restore his power. Dragonite emerged as a blazing giant and flew into the sky to fight Eternatus again.

• Xiao Wu took Eternatus's Dynamax Cannon blast to protect Chu Xin and collapsed, so Chu Xin used his remaining Potion on him.
• Blue flames spread over Xiao Wu as Dragonite's power began healing him, and Dragonite told Chu Xin to bring him to the Dragonite Fossil.
• Chen Huan sent out Flygon, Ancient Flygon, and Heracross to shield Chu Xin from Eternatus's attacks as Chu Xin carried Xiao Wu to the fossil.

• Dragonite flew up to challenge Eternatus, while Chen Huan watched in disbelief.

Dragonite kept Eternatus occupied while Chu Xin and Chen Huan went to search the collapsed cave for traces of Zacian and Zamazenta’s power that might seal Eternatus again. Li Xing was left hiding with the unconscious Ai Xing as the battle continued overhead.

• Dragonite used Eternatus’s leaking Dynamax Energy to restore his fragile body and attack Eternatus, who struggled to put him down.
• Chu Xin realized that keeping Eternatus occupied was not enough and decided to search the site where he had been sealed for traces of Zacian and Zamazenta’s power.

• A huge Energy Ball crashed nearby, and Li Xing carried Ai Xing behind a rock to hide.

Chen Huan and Chu Xin searched the cave where Eternatus had been sealed for a way to stop it. They unearthed Zacian’s Rusted Sword and then Zamazenta’s Rusted Shield, leaving them with both legendary items as Eternatus continued rampaging outside.

• Chen Huan and Chu Xin entered the unstable cave and reached the site where Eternatus had escaped through dimensional rifts.
• Chu Xin startled Chen Huan, who nearly stumbled into a rift before punching Chu Xin and warning him to be careful.
• After searching the cave without finding clues, Chen Huan dug into the ground and uncovered the Rusted Sword.
• Chu Xin recognized the Rusted Sword and began searching for Zamazenta’s Rusted Shield.
• Chen Huan and Chu Xin dug up the decayed Rusted Shield.

Chu Xin and Chen Huan discovered ancient murals explaining that Zamazenta and Zacian had used the Rusted Shield and Rusted Sword to seal Eternatus. After Luo Luo analyzed the relics, they considered having Chu Xin’s injured Kaka try to activate their power, leaving Chu Xin uncertain whether Kaka could withstand it.

• Chu Xin found the Rusted Shield and Rusted Sword, and he and Chen Huan searched the cave while Luo Luo analyzed the relics.

• Chen Huan offered Chu Xin Potions for Kaka, and Chu Xin hesitated over whether his injured Pokémon could survive the relics’ power.

• Chu Xin explained that Kaka had to use the Rusted Shield and Rusted Sword to reactivate their power and seal Eternatus.
• Luo Luo explained the Trial, and Chu Xin instructed Kaka to stand on the altar with the shield in his left hand and the sword in his right.
• The Rusted Shield and Rusted Sword poured their powers into Kaka, forcing him to activate Burst Aura First Stage to withstand them.
