The stone statue was suspended quietly, but the pure and despairing aura of destruction and death exuded from its surroundings.
"Hahaha! Hahahahahaha!!!"
Lysandre burst out laughing with satisfaction. The laughter echoed in the empty top floor, full of creator-like satisfaction and desire for destruction.
"Perfect! So perfect! This is the posture God should have! The ultimate posture above life and order!"
He pointed sharply at the brightly lit city below, but in his eyes was "dirty", and his voice was extremely excited:
"Go! My 'god'!"
"Use your light to reshape everything! Judge this hopeless world!!"
The stone statue - or in other words, the God of Destruction that was spawned by Sheer Force and merged with the data of Yveltal and Zygarde began to move.
The pair of eyes inlaid with red crystals suddenly lit up with a destructive light!
Phew--! Phew--!
Two turbid gray-white beams with a diameter of more than one meter suddenly burst out from its eyes and swept across the neighborhood near Prism Tower!
Wherever the beam passed, there was no explosion or flame.
There is only... the solidification of deathly silence.
A five-story commercial building was passed by - in an instant, all the colors from the walls, glass, billboards... were instantly extracted and turned into lifeless gray and white stone sculptures!
The structural details are still there, but all Hustle is lost.
A car driving on the street, its tires stalled, its body petrified, and the driver's horrified expression were frozen forever.
Pedestrians, Pokémon... the moment they come into contact with the beam, without exception, the brilliance of life fades from their eyes, turning into statues of despair with different postures.
Yveltal exclusive, petrified light!
"That's right! That's right! This is it! This is the ultimate art I pursue! Turn the noise of life into the order of eternal silence!"
Below, Xerosic, who saw all this through the screen, was dancing with excitement.
"This will be the pinnacle work that I, Xerosic, dedicate to this world!!!"
Under the tower, on the street.
The citizens and tourists, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration just now, raised their heads blankly.
"It's the end of the world?!"
"What the hell is that? The cobra still has wings? I played too many games and Illusion appeared?"
"Help! Someone help me! My legs, I can't move my legs!"
"I'm just here to join in the fun and watch the finals! Why does it also include a world destruction experience!"
"Mom! I want to go home!"
Screaming, crying, collapse... all kinds of sounds mixed together.
However, what responded to them was a second wave of denser gray-white beams, pouring down like a torrential rain!
Boom boom boom boom--!!!
Unstoppable! Inescapable!
Destruction, in the most intuitive and silent way, came to the entire Lumiose City.
On the other side, inside the trapped VIP room.
"Master Champion! Emergency communication! An unknown giant monster has appeared at Lumiose City! It is carrying out indiscriminate destruction in the city center!"
"The characteristics... the characteristics are like the legendary Zygarde, but different! It's Team Flare!"
From the special contact device on Diantha's wrist, the panicked roar of Pokémon League's guards, mixed with the background sounds of explosions, came.
Diantha slowly put down her wrist, she raised her head,
Looking at the blurry red figure outside the door, the last trace of doubt and luck disappeared from his eyes.
"Malva, you have rebelled."
She never thought that as one of Kalos League Elite Four, Fire-type King Malva, who enjoyed countless honors, would have already invested in Team Flare, and might even be Team Flare's most deeply buried chess piece!
This is not just a betrayal, it is the most naked mockery and the heaviest blow to the entire Kalos League and to her as the champion.
"Rebellion? Oh, don't say that, it sounds so harsh."
Outside the door, Malva's voice still carried that irritating ease:
"It can also be said that I am originally a member of Team Flare. It's just that I have put on the gorgeous coat of a king."
"Malva! Do you know what you are doing! You are making an enemy of the entire Kalos!"
Yan Kai was furious and punched the alloy wall, making a muffled sound.
"Okay, what's the use of talking about it now."
Diantha glanced at him. "If you hadn't asked Malva to take charge of security, they wouldn't have been locked up here like sardines in a can."
Hey, I can't bring my teammates with me.
Yan Kaihu's body was shocked. "I... I thought she was kind-hearted to help me..."
He was so aggrieved. He thought it was the care of his colleagues, but he didn't expect that he was Joker.
Zhi Mi sighed, "Yan Kai, Yan Kai, you are good at everything, but you are too simple."
Drasna said with helplessness, "Yan Kai, please be more careful."
"I..."
Yan Kai was speechless. He really wanted to cry and find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Now is not the time for review, the top priority is to break this damn cage!"
Zhi Mi said, already taking out Poké Ball.
"Blastoise, it's up to you! Use Ice Punch!"
A white light flashed, and a Blastoise with a strong build and steady eyes appeared in the small space.
It roared, and its thick arms were instantly covered with biting ice. It gathered all its strength and punched the joint of the wall that seemed to be the weakest!
Boom!
The cold air overflowed, and the wall made a loud noise, and a thick layer of ice instantly condensed on the hit area, making a "click-click" freezing sound.
However, under the ice, the alloy wall was only slightly dented but still strong.
"Why is it so hard? The thickness of this alloy is quite high."
Zhi Mi frowned.
"Leave me alone!" Yan Kai threw out Poké Ball. He had already been holding back his anger:
"Aegislash! Iai Slash!"
"Sword--!"
Aegislash appeared and instantly switched to Blade Forme. The sword lit up with a dazzling white light, turning into a condensed silver sword light and slashing towards the same position!
Keng--!!!
The harsh sound of metal cutting sounded! Ember splashed wildly between the blade and the wall!
This time, a clear white mark finally appeared on the wall.
But that's all.
"That's the only effect?!"
Yan Kai couldn't believe his eyes.
His Aegislash full-force slash was enough to Slash steel, but it could only leave a scratch on this wall?
Malva How far in advance did this girl start decorating?
"Hahahaha..."
Outside the door, Malva's laughter came, with unabashed ridicule. "My colleagues, you don't think that I can trap you with ordinary cement walls, do you?"
"These alloy plates are specially made by the Team Flare scientific research department and are mixed with memory metal extracted from special minerals."
"Even if you are all fired up, you won't be able to come out even if you don't have a long time. So, please rest peacefully."
"Damn it! This woman is so well-calculated!"
Yan Kai kicked the wall hard, which made his legs hurt.
Zhi Mi sighed, "I mean, Yan Kai, don't praise her for her thorough planning at this time, right? It's very demoralizing."
Drasna, who had been relatively silent, also stood up with a serious expression. "It seems that we must attack the same point without any reservations."
"Noivern!"
A majestic Noivern appeared next to her.
"Gardevoir!"
Diantha also throws Poké Ball.
An elegant Gardevoir follows closely behind.
"That's right, focus your firepower!" Yan Kai regained his composure, "Aegislash, prepare..."
"Gardevoir, use Teleport!"
Diantha suddenly interrupted him. A blue light flashed in Gardevoir's eyes. It stretched out its slender hand and gently placed it on Diantha's shoulder.
The next second.
Whoosh!
The figures of Diantha and Gardevoir disappeared instantly from an airtight alloy cage!
Outside the door, Malva, who was leaning against the wall and monitoring the movement in the direction of Prism Tower, suddenly felt a subtle fluctuation in the space behind him.
She turned her head in surprise.
I saw Diantha and her Gardevoir, already standing three steps away from her in a relaxed manner.
He was looking at her coldly.
Inside the door, Zhi Mi, Yan Kai, and Drasna, who were preparing to attack the wall with all their strength, were also stunned.
Zhimi: "...?"
Yan Kai: "... Ah?"
Drasna:"... Allah?"
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the same thought in each other's eyes.
No, you can go out!
If you can go out, why don't you... take us out with you! Why did you flash out by yourself?!
We're still in there! Hey! Teamwork!
Diantha She had no time to pay attention to the complicated moods of the three colleagues in the door now. All her attention was Lock-On on the rebellious king in front of her.
"Malva! You are so brave!!"
Diantha raised his arm and pointed his index finger straight at the opponent. The majesty of the champion completely exploded at this moment.
"Card, Diantha!"
Malva's pupils shrank suddenly. She didn't expect that Gardevoir had such strong spatial attainments. Logically speaking, the space was completely sealed by the alloy, and Psychic type couldn't penetrate it.
But now that the matter has come to this, she just has to face it.
"Master Champion, your loud voice doesn't mean anything."
Malva quickly adjusted his expression and put on his charming smile with Taunt again.
She knew that there was an accident in the plan, but it was not irreversible. All she had to do now was to hold back the champion.
She threw out Poké Ball without hesitation:
"Houndoom! Give a warm greeting to Mr. Champion, Inferno!"
"Woo--!!!"
The ferocious hellhound appeared, opened its mouth and spoke Spit Up. The flames were so hot that they distorted the space, like the karmic fire from hell, instantly swallowing up the narrow space of the corridor.
Faced with such an attack, Diantha's eyes did not move at all, and he just ordered coldly:
"Psychic!"
"Shanai~~"
Gardevoir had already taken a step forward, opened his arms, and the powerful Psychic type force instantly built an invisible wall, while the blue light in his eyes skyrocketed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the Inferno fire and the Confusion wave collided violently!
Two powerful forces exploded in the narrow corridor, burning the walls Burn into blackness and exploding one after another!
The battle between the champion and the king suddenly broke out in the corridor of the VIP room that no one knew about!
Inside the door, hearing the sound of fierce fighting outside, Drasna sighed:
"It seems that Diantha won't have time to take care of us for a while."
Yan Kai looked at the hard wall again, gearing up. "Then let's work harder! We can't really stay here for most of the day!"
Zhi Mi smiled bitterly and said, "What a sin, Yan Kai, don't do this to me next time."
"Concentrate your attack! Blastoise, continue!"
"Noivern, we are coming too! Dragon Claw!"
"Aegislash, Fury Cutter!"
The three trapped kings turned all their grievances and anger into attacks, and began to attack the unlucky joints of the wall with crazy output!
At the same time, Lumiose City is at the main venue.
But the celebratory music has not ended yet, and the cheers of the crowd have not completely subsided.
But what followed was not the champion's encouragement, but waves of ruthless explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
People stopped cheering blankly and looked around.
"What's the sound? Is there a fireworks display?"
"No, the sound came from the city..."
"Look at Prism Tower!! Oh my God! What is that!"
Countless eyes looked along the sky where the exclamation was pointing.
Then, the entire venue fell into deathly silence.
They saw the... King Cobra with wings of death entrenched near Prism Tower.
I saw the gray-white light that swept across the sky and silently erased the color of the tall buildings.
I saw rising pillars of gray and white dust in the distance that were definitely not fireworks.
The next second, a bomb named "Panic" detonated in the crowd!
"What is that! A snake?"
"Can a snake have wings? That's a monster!"
"Weird, monster--!!!"
"Fuck! Don't squeeze me!"
The crowd began to commotion, push, and rush towards the exit, and the scene instantly got out of control.
The security guards and police who maintained order were themselves frightened and could only try in vain to divert the crowd.
On the podium, Ash was still holding the trophy, and he was completely confused.
What! What's this?!
(Please automatically think of the black question mark emoticon here)
Where's the promised award ceremony? Where's the promised glorious moment? Where's the promised photo-taking?
Why is the world suddenly over?
And what is this strange snake? The new Legendary Pokémon? But it looks too ugly!
Or is there a possibility that this is actually an extra surprise prize for the champion, a special holographic projection performance or something.
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu's anxious Growl and slapping finally woke Ash out of his dazed state.
The electrical capsule on its cheek crackled, and it had entered combat mode.
As a veteran comrade who has experienced many battles, Pikachu's crisis radar has long since gone off.
The God of Destruction in the sky seemed to sense the dense breath of life below, and his cold red crystal eyes once again Lock-On the huge main venue.
The torso adjusted slightly, and several gray-white beams, thicker than before, poured down on the spot!
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"
Ash's hair stood on end instantly, and he almost dropped the championship trophy.
"Pika-chu!!!!"
Pika God stopped acting and jumped up from the shoulders of Ash on the spot, releasing the dazzling golden thunder dragon with all his strength!
Boom--!!!
The thunder and lightning collided with the death beam in mid-air, making a tooth-breaking erosion sound.
Thunderbolt offset most of the beam! But there is still a part of gray light spreading from both sides like a tide!
"Delphox! Fire Spin!"
A calm and firm female voice sounded.
The blazing flames were generated out of thin air and rotated to form a wall of fire, helping Pikachu withstand the petrifying beam coming from the flanks.
It's Serena!
She didn't know when she had rushed to the podium, with her Delphox beside her. The tree branch and scepter in her hand was burning with blazing flames, and her eyes were equally solemn.
Clemont and Bonnie followed her closely.
