"Ash, are you okay?"
Serena asked with concern, while looking at the sky warily.
"I'm fine! What the hell is going on?"
Ash jumped off the podium holding the trophy and joined his friends.
"I don't know, but it must have something to do with that big snake in the sky."
Clemont looked at the sky. "That thing looks like some kind of modified Pokémon, or a mutant of Legendary Pokémon?"
"Legendary Pokémon? What Legendary Pokémon is a snake with wings?"
Ash thought.
Bonnie next to him subconsciously hugged his pockets.
She remembered that her Squishy seemed to be the snake-shaped Pokémon.
"Whatever it is, hide first!" Serena pulled Ash and ran towards the safe passage.
But at this moment, the God of Destruction in the sky seemed to notice the podium.
The attack just now was blocked here.
The red light in its eyes skyrocketed again. This time, more than ten beams of light were like a web of death, covering the podium area!
"Careful! The attack is coming again!"
Without thinking, Ash held Serena next to him tightly in his arms.
Boom boom boom!!
Suddenly, a blue flame suddenly rose across the front of the beam! It looked like a fire fist to save the day!
Immediately afterwards, a steady voice drowned out the panic screams in the audience.
"Charizard! Dragon Rush!!!"
Everyone looked up and saw a black Charizard rising from the edge of the venue. Its whole body was wrapped in violent Dragon-type energy and it dived straight into the Stockpile destroying monster in the air!
Boom bang--!!!!
A mix of black, red and blue light exploded. The monster's seemingly unshakable body was shaken violently by the blow. Less than half of the gray-white light condensed in its mouth instantly dissipated, and the light flickered on and off indefinitely!
"Who is that?"
"It seems to be Alain in the semi-finals?"
"He just rushed up?"
"It's really, really amazing..."
"Is he always so brave?"
Although the Kalos people were still running for their lives, they still couldn't help but marvel when they saw this scene.
Alain held Key Stone tightly on his wrist, stared at the monster, and shouted to Charizard:
"It's not over yet! Don't give it a chance to breathe! Charizard, use Flamethrower! Aim for its eyes!"
"Ouch--!!!"
The Charizard, which had just completed the impact and was falling to adjust its posture, forcibly twisted its body and opened its mouth to spit out a stream of blue flames!
The blue flames that can burn through steel are about to hit.
"Pyroar! Flamethrower!"
But at this moment, another pillar of Red-colored fire that was no less powerful, even more violent, crashed from the side and was accurately intercepted in front of the blue flame of Charizard!
Boom! Boom!
The two flames collided and exploded into sparks all over the sky!
Alain's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned his head suddenly to look in the direction of the flames.
I saw a tall, burly, lion-like man slowly walking out of the shadows at the edge of the venue.
Next to him, followed a mighty and majestic Pyroar with a mane like fire.
The intercepting flame just now came from its mouth.
"President! How could it be you!"
Alain After seeing the person clearly, his eyes showed disbelief.
Lysandre gently patted the Pyroar next to him, which looked like himself and had a mane of fire.
Then he raised his head, looking at Infiltrator filled with smoke and fire, and looked at Alain from afar, with complicated eyes:
"Alain, I didn't expect that you would be the first to stand up and try to stop me from stepping into the new world."
Lysandre stood on the high platform, his orange-black suit rustling in the wind.
Even in this chaotic scene, he still maintains the elegant style of a successful entrepreneur.
Alain's voice is dry:
"President, what are you doing? Why are you attacking Lumiose City? What on earth is that thing in the sky?"
He pointed around, at the ruins of buildings that had turned into gray-white stone statues, at the faint cries coming from the distance, and at the sound of panic rising into the sky from the direction of the main venue.
All of this ran counter to the image of the wise, powerful, and visionary leader he remembered.
"That's nothing, Alain."
Lysandre corrected, with an almost pious fanaticism in his tone. He opened his arms slightly, as if he wanted to embrace the entire chaotic world.
"That is God. It is the highest masterpiece created by our Team Flare with all our efforts! It is a perfect creation that transcends legends and surpasses existing life forms!"
Lysandre became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice became louder and louder, and spittle almost flew out:
"God will Purify this world, clear away all corruption and filth, and create a new world without fighting, greed, and pollution!"
"Alain, aren't you looking forward to it?"
Alain My scalp feels numb when I hear it.
Purify? Restart? Return to a new world? Is this the director of the Lysandre consortium that he knows?
Isn't this just an MLM leader? Is the next step going to be to start selling courses?
Welcome to join Team Flare and become the god of the new world, it only costs 998!
"President, don't you think what you're saying is a bit too fantastical? It's untrue!"
Alain decided to make a final effort and tried to use normal people's logic to convince the other party. After all, he was the person he once admired, so he should save him if he could.
"Look around you. These are living people and cities. You want to turn them all into stone? What does this have to do with the new world!"
"Confused again?"
Lysandre felt Alain's alienation and chuckled, "Senior is explaining your doubts, which means teaching you a lesson. Can you please stop interrupting?"
I don't know why, but after hearing this sentence, Alain subconsciously stood up straight, like a student waiting for the teacher to lecture.
Thinking back to the past.
Looking back on those days, if the president hadn't gifted Mega Stone, he would have been just an ordinary trainer wandering around alone.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with venturing out on your own, but with Evolution Stone, you can have a brighter future.
"Please tell me."
Lysandre nodded with satisfaction:
"Alain, logically speaking, a trainer of your level does not have the right to ask me directly. But to satisfy your curiosity, I can tell you."
He turned his back, looked at the energy explosion in the distance, and said slowly:
"Previously, Pokémon League's system reform could be said to be vast, and everyone was involved in the torrent."
"During this period, many people relied on their own efforts, or luck, to stand on the tide. On top of this tide, there is unlimited scenery, Captivate unlimited, and unlimited risks. It depends on how you grasp it."
Alain nodded subconsciously, feeling the same way.
Hey, as expected of the old president, his casual remarks are golden.
"Have you never felt suffocated? Alain, in this world that seems prosperous but is actually bloated and twisted."
Huh? Feeling suffocated?
Alain's mind was stuck, and he subconsciously thought of Mairin's innocent smile, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a slight arc.
No, I think this world is pretty good.
Lysandre didn't notice anything unusual about Alain. He was completely immersed in his own world, and his tone became more and more passionate:
"This decaying world needs Purify, it needs a restart, it needs a new beginning. It's like an old house that needs to be torn down and rebuilt."
"In order to realize this ideal! I am struggling! I have led Team Flare from the bottom step by step to where I am today. Not only that, I also want to lead Team Flare to the top!!"
He paused and looked at Alain, his eyes suddenly became "kind", as if he were looking at a lost lamb:
"Alain, return to the organization. You have potential and strength, and create a new world with me."
"We can become the gods of the new world and create a new order. Isn't this much more meaningful than challenging the strong everywhere like you are now?"
Alain's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Crazy, crazy! President, he is really completely crazy!
One day, I am a philosopher, talking to you about existence. Another time, I am a success lecturer, giving you chicken soup to get blood.
At this speed of personality switching, are you really not schizophrenic, President?
Also, if you return to the organization at this time, isn't it asking for death? Are you waiting to be wanted by Pokémon League all over the world with him, and have his photos plastered on the toilet doors in every city?
Alain imagined that scene.
His face was printed on the wanted notice, with "Dangerous Element" written underneath, and Mairin pointed at the wanted notice and asked:
"Brother, this person looks like you!"
Dama! No!
This picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.
Alain sighed and decided to give up treatment:
"President, stop it."
He added silently in his mind: There are Officer Jenny outside. You won't be able to escape when Pokémon League's reinforcements arrive. Don't blame me for not warning you then.
Lysandre was silent.
Three seconds.
Then, he laughed.
First he chuckled, then he laughed, and finally Uchiha laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha! Alain ah Alain, it seems that the ideological gap between us is deeper than I thought."
"Well, I've never made things difficult for others. Since you rejected this offer, I'm sorry..."
His smile disappeared instantly and his eyes turned cold:
"Then become the cornerstone of the new world."
"Roar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pyroar, who was already ready to go, ran out like a wild beast!
It's mouth was instantly wrapped with scorching flames, turning into two flaming blades and heading straight towards Charizard!
Fire Fang!
"Charizard! Dragon Claw!" Alain knows that Lysandre's strength is unfathomable and must try its best.
"Ouch!!!"
Charizard roared and raised his right claw, Dragon-type's energy condensed into a ferocious cyan giant claw, and it went straight to Pyroar!
Boom boom!
The flames collided violently with Dragon Claw! The blast of air lifted up the gravel on the ground again!
Charizard was shaken so hard that he stumbled backwards, sparks flying everywhere.
"Thunder Punch!" Alain immediately changed his moves.
Charizard's right fist was instantly wrapped with violent current, and he dived again!
"Protect." Lysandre said lightly.
A green Barrier appears in front of Pyroar, easily blocking Thunder Punch.
"Dragon Pulse!" Alain continues to attack.
"Ouch!"
Charizard opened his mouth, and a torrent of purple Dragon-type energy spurted out!
"Fire Blast." Lysandre is still calm.
Pyroar opened its mouth, Spit Up burst into flames, collided with Dragon Pulse, and exploded again.
After a few rounds, Alain's face turned ugly, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
He found himself completely suppressed.
Not only did his former boss have strong command, but Pyroar was stronger than his Charizard.
Lysandre said calmly, "Alain, you have made great progress. But it is still far from enough."
Alain, he is very optimistic about it. Even if it is two years later, even he may not be able to suppress it.
But alas, now you can!
Alain gritted his teeth. "Charizard, last chance! Blast Burn!"
"Ouch--!!!"
Charizard roared! The remaining flame energy in its body hit the ground heavily, turning into a huge flame pillar and blasting towards Pyroar!
Lysandre looked at this massive blow, but just shook his head with regret:
Courage is admirable, but too reckless. Putting all your efforts in the face of the power gap will only accelerate your demise."
"Pyroar, Mega Evolution."
The ring in his hand burst out with intense light.
In the light, Pyroar became larger, his muscles became more developed, and his mane became more gorgeous.
Like a burning flame, the overall momentum is stronger, as if he has become the true king of beasts.
Super Pyroar!
"Flare Blitz!"
Lysandre ordered lightly.
Super Pyroar's whole body instantly erupts with Red flames that are more dazzling and more violent than its own mane!
It turned into a stream of red light and hit Blast Burn head-on like a meteorite!
Boom--!!!
The collision of flame and energy caused an earth-shattering explosion!
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed.
Charizard was lying among the broken masonry, his chest rising and falling violently but difficultly.
The original burning flame on its body became extremely weak, the light of evolution had long since dissipated, and it was obviously severely damaged.
Pyroar, defeated Charizard.
"Charizard! Are you okay!"
Alain quickly helped Charizard.
Lysandre on the opposite side looked at Alain with complicated eyes, but in the end they turned cold:
"Goodbye, Alain. Your Charizard will become the cornerstone of the new world."
He raised his hand, ready to order Super Pyroar to deliver the final blow.
But just then--
"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, President, it doesn't make sense for you to bully your subordinates like this."
A lazy voice sounded.
Lysandre turned around and looked.
I saw Xiaoyun walking over slowly. He was followed by Dawn, as well as Zoey, Barry, Sawyer and others. It looked like a big boss bringing a bunch of subordinates to cause trouble.
"Alain, are you okay?"
A beautiful figure ran over quickly and hugged Alain.
It is Mairin.
Alain was stunned by this sudden hug. He felt the trembling of the girl in his arms, and the tight string in his heart relaxed inexplicably:
"It's okay Mairin, I'm okay."
He patted Mairin's back comfortingly, then looked at Xiaoyun, feeling silently relieved.
If it was this person, he should be able to take down the president.
After all, this guy is a tough guy who can go toe-to-toe with Legendary Pokémon. Beating the president... shouldn't be a big problem.
"Mr. Xiaoyun, you are here too." Alain asked.
"After all, I'm also a supervisor. I can't just watch someone causing trouble in the city."
Xiaoyun shrugged.
He originally planned to take action when he saw the giant snake, but he didn't expect Alain to be so brave and rushed forward directly.
Don't tell me, the fight was pretty good.
"Mr. Xiaoyun, do you want to intervene in this matter?"
Lysandre saw the person coming and spoke slowly.
Thanks to the previous experience of teaming up with Xiaoyun, I have a rough judgment on the strength of Xiaoyun.
If he could, he really didn't want to fight the mean guy in front of him.
This man can confront the God of the Earth head-on.
"No, let's get to know each other. If the president is willing to find his way back, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, that would be great."
Xiaoyun looked at the stitching monster behind.
He was a little curious, Z1 and Z2 were gone, where did Lysandre get this thing from.
There is also petrifying light. Isn't that the exclusive move of Yveltal?
"Stop joking, Mr. Xiaoyun, you know this is impossible."
Lysandre shook his head. He has already taken off his pants, is he still a man if he has them on?
"Xiaoyun What nonsense are you talking to him? Why don't you dare to fight with this guy?"
Barry is a typical person who doesn't mind watching the excitement, but Zoey can't even hold him back.
Barry Is this guy so brave?
Lysandre frowned and looked unhappy.
He can be polite to Xiaoyun, but what kind of thing is this yellow hair? He is just a thing, so you dare to talk too much in front of Lysandre? Do you really think he has no temper?
He raised his hand and said in a cold tone:
"An ant dares to talk too much. Pyroar, shut up this noisy insect."
Super Pyroar opened its mouth, and the hot Flamethrower came out. The power was stronger and the temperature was higher than before, as if it was going to melt everything.
"Damn it, Xiaoyun help me, this red-haired guy can't take a joke."
Barry quickly hid behind Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyun glanced at him sideways.
Gee, I really thought you were very brave.
He took out a Poké Ball and threw it. "Gouging Fire, Flame Guardian."
A fiery figure, like a ferocious beast awakening from an ancient volcano, instantly appeared in front of Xiaoyun!
The dark body, the spiked crown is terrifying, and the eyes are unruly, as if they can burn everything.
Ancient Legendary Beasts, Gouging Fire!
"Brohou--!!!"
Gouging Fire looked up to the sky and roared, and a flame shield instantly formed in front of him, absorbing all Flamethrower.
Then, it opened its mouth and returned the flames with greater power!
"Roar?" Pyroar's face changed, and he quickly Spit Up the flame again.
Boom boom!
Two flames collided in the air, an explosion occurred, air waves rolled, and Pyroar was knocked back three steps.
"It's the ancient Legendary Beasts!"
Lysandre also recognized this Pokémon. It was it. Together with the other two Legendary Beasts, it could temporarily suppress the God of Earth Groudon.
"Afraid, Hong Mao! Swagger again, I will let you see how powerful my brother is!"
Barry felt that he was okay again, so he stuck his head out from behind Xiaoyun, and Swagger shouted.
People around him looked disgusted.
Hiss, this yellow hair is so cheap.
Xiaoyun was equally disgusted and pulled him aside. "You idiot, you are treating me like a magical beast."
Barry smiled nonchalantly, "Hey, isn't this just to boost your momentum?"
"Since the inspector insists on blocking the road, let's use our strength to speak!"
Lysandre's eyes became sharp:
"Pyroar, Fire Blast!"
