Seeing that both Crow Head and Master Itachi were defeated, Fraldari immediately recalled them into their Poké Balls and then opened the aircraft to escape.
But just as he flew into the air, a Shadow Ball smashed towards him.
Aegislash had made its move.
After working so hard to defeat the opponent, how could they let the main target run away? Wouldn't their efforts and beatings be in vain?
Bang! An explosion sounded, Fraldari's aircraft was damaged, and he fell straight from the sky.
Passimian leaped forward, caught Fraldari, and easily subdued him.
Fraldari probably never imagined that he would be caught by two Pokémon.
On the other side, Professor Sycamore, Serena, and Team Rocket, led by Mairin, successfully arrived at Team Flare's base.
They got off the helicopter and were about to sneak into the base when they were stopped by Celosia and her subordinates.
"Oh dear, where do you think you're going? This isn't a place you can just barge into, you know ~"
Celosia didn't take Professor Sycamore, Serena, and the others seriously.
Along with her nonchalant attitude, her Drapion also showed a contemptuous smile.
Team Rocket had fought Celosia before, and they were very unhappy with these colleagues (they were all members of criminal organizations, inherently incompatible). Now, seeing Celosia being so arrogant, Jessie simply couldn't bear it.
"What are you acting so smug about? Quickly get out of my way, or I'll kick your butt!"
Just as Celosia was about to start a shouting match with Jessie, another figure descended from the sky on a Metagross.
He said to Celosia, "How about I be your opponent?"
Seeing the person, Professor Sycamore exclaimed in surprise, "Steven Stone!"
Steven smiled and waved to Professor Sycamore and the others, "Yo, hello everyone!"
Seeing the handsome Steven, Jessie immediately became infatuated, "Wow, it's Champion Steven! The young master of Devon Corporation, I really want to marry him!"
James: . . .
Meowth: . . .
Wobbuffet: . . .
Unlike the surprised Professor Sycamore's group, Celosia's face was not very pleasant. She wasn't arrogant enough to not take even the Champion seriously.
Steven jumped off Metagross and said to Professor Sycamore, "Professor, you guys go in, I'll take care of things here and then come find you."
Professor Sycamore nodded, "Okay, then be careful!"
Saying that, he led Serena, Mairin, and Team Rocket towards the base.
As the Team Flare grunts were about to step forward to stop them, a silver beam swept across, forcing them to stop.
Not long after Professor Sycamore and the others entered the base, more than a dozen guards appeared in front of them.
Professor Sycamore and Serena simultaneously took out their Poké Balls. With two flashes of red light, Garchomp and Braixen appeared.
Working together, the grunts were quickly defeated one by one.
Then, the group continued to rush deeper into the base, searching for Mairin's Chespin as they ran.
But before they could find Chespin, they were stopped by another Team Flare Admin, Bryony, and her Bisharp.
"I was wondering what all the noise was about. Turns out a few little bugs have gotten in!"
Like Celosia, Bryony didn't take the people in front of her seriously.
In her opinion, what combat power could a little girl and a research professor have?
As for the other three, they were silly and foolish, so there was even less need to worry about them.
Professor Sycamore and Garchomp took a step forward and said to Serena and the others, "Serena, Mairin, you go find Chespin, I'll take care of things here!"
Chespin was the name of Mairin's Chespin.
After Serena left, Professor Sycamore took out his Key Stone and said to Garchomp, "Garchomp, we have to get serious too!"
"Garchomp ~" Garchomp's eyes narrowed, and he nodded vigorously.
"Garchomp, Mega Evolve!"
As Professor Sycamore's voice fell, the Key Stone in his hand resonated with the Mega Stone on Garchomp's body, and a bright, colorful light bloomed.
In the light, Garchomp's body began to change rapidly. His body became taller and stronger, and the pair of scythes on his hands visibly became wider and larger.
When the light dissipated, Mega Garchomp made a shining appearance.
Seeing this, Bryony commanded Bisharp, "Bisharp, Night Slash!"
Professor Sycamore also commanded Garchomp, "Garchomp, Dragon Claw!"
As the two finished speaking, Bisharp and Garchomp disappeared from their spots in a flash.
With a loud bang, Bisharp's steel blade and Garchomp's Dragon Claw collided.
But it was clear that Bisharp couldn't be Garchomp's opponent.
Even without Mega Evolution, Garchomp's base stats, IVs, level, and other data were stronger than Bisharp's.
In addition to being knowledgeable, Professor Sycamore also "knew a little" about "martial arts."
After repelling Bisharp, Garchomp didn't hesitate at all. He flashed forward again and raised his scythe to use Brick Break.
Fighting-type skills are four times effective against Bisharp. Although Bisharp immediately used Iron Defense to defend, he was still chopped far away.
Seeing that he was no match for Garchomp, Bryony ordered Bisharp, "Bisharp, Giga Impact!"
Giga Impact is a Normal-type ultimate move with a power of 150, but the disadvantage is that it will be impossible to move for a certain period of time after use.
She's going to risk it all!
As Bryony's voice fell, Bisharp's aura exploded, and in the next second, he rushed towards Garchomp with a white light shining all over his body.
Professor Sycamore said, "Garchomp, dodge quickly!"
Garchomp leaped into the air. Bisharp missed and crashed into the wall, which was directly collapsed by him.
Garchomp: Hehe ~ Dumbfounded, right? I can fly.
Then Professor Sycamore said, "Garchomp, Dragon Claw!"
Garchomp descended from the sky and slapped the immobile Bisharp in the face with one claw. Bisharp immediately fell straight down.
Just as Professor Sycamore defeated Bryony, Steven and Metagross appeared beside him. Steven had also defeated Celosia and a group of Team Flare grunts.
At the same time, Serena and Mairin encountered another interception.
At this moment, Team Rocket stood up.
Because they were disguised, Serena had not recognized them from beginning to end, but Serena was still surprised by their standing up.
"You…"
Jessie immediately interrupted her, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and leave, we're not helping you!"
James quickly echoed, "That's right, that's right, we have our purposes!"
As they spoke, they simultaneously released their Pokémon. Musashi's was a Pumpkaboo, and Kojiro's was an Inkay.
"Thank you!" Serena said gratefully.
Time waits for no one. After handing the enemies over to Team Rocket, Serena and Manon continued to search for Harimaron.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, the two finally found the unconscious Harimaron in a laboratory.
Also with Harimaron was a giant stone emitting a seven-colored light.
This giant stone is said to be the origin of all Mega Evolution.
It was originally found by Daigo and Fuladari together, but Fuladari deceived Daigo, leading him to hand over the giant stone for research.
Later, after Ange's reminder, Daigo finally realized something was wrong and tracked it all the way to this base.
"Harimaron!"
Seeing Harimaron, Manon couldn't wait to take it out of the laboratory's glass罩.
At this time, Daigo and Dr. Platane happened to arrive. Seeing the unconscious Harimaron, Dr. Platane asked, "Is there a way to wake it up?"
Manon nodded sadly. If there was a way, they wouldn't have been deceived by Fuladari.
"I'll help you examine it carefully when we get back," Dr. Platane said.
"Yes, thank you, Doctor," Manon said gratefully.
Daigo looked at the legendary giant stone and said, "We must take this stone away as well. I wonder what Fuladari has been doing with it!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the legendary giant stone suddenly burst into a brilliant light.
Immediately afterward, a tentacle suddenly appeared, snatching Harimaron from Manon's hand with lightning speed and taking it into the interior of the legendary giant stone.
Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, the legendary giant stone turned into a monster.
Its original brilliant light disappeared, and its entire body gradually turned pitch black. In the end, it actually became very similar to Zygarde's 50% form.
Because Harimaron's body contained residual Zygarde power, and the giant stone craved powerful energy, it absorbed Harimaron and transformed into Zygarde's appearance.
Team Rocket, battered and bruised, arrived just in time to witness the monster's transformation.
Kojiro shouted, "What is this monster?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monster extended a tentacle and lashed out at him fiercely.
"Mommy, a ghost!" Kojiro hurriedly rolled and crawled away to avoid the attack. "That scared me to death!"
Then, the monster extended a tentacle each to attack Daigo, Dr. Platane, Serena, and Manon.
"Meta ~" Daigo's Metagross waved its Comet Punch to protect Daigo, but it was swatted away.
"Gab ~" Dr. Platane's Garchomp waved its Dragon Claw to meet the attack, but it was also knocked away.
Serena didn't engage head-on, pulling Manon and Fennekin to dodge the attack in a panic.
However, the giant stone's real purpose was not to attack them, but to clear the way forward.
After repelling Daigo and the others, the giant stone wriggled its tentacles and moved outward all the way towards the base.
"Harimaron!" Manon, worried about her Harimaron, immediately wanted to rush up, but Serena stopped her.
"Dangerous, Manon!"
That monster is no match for even Daigo's Metagross and the Doctor's Garchomp. Manon would be throwing her life away.
Dr. Platane also said, "Manon, let's observe the situation first and rescue Harimaron after we understand the situation."
Daigo asked suspiciously, "Where is this monster going?"
Dr. Platane shook his head and replied, "I don't know!"
Daigo said, "Then let's follow it and see."
So, everyone followed behind the giant stone and moved towards the outside of the base.
Fortunately, Kojiro flew everyone on a helicopter, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to keep up with the monster. The monster moved very fast.
Meowth and Musashi didn't forget to hold up the camera and take pictures, broadcasting the monster's situation to the entire Kalos region, being dedicated to their work.
After flying for a while, everyone quickly determined the monster's destination.
"It's going to Anistar City!" Dr. Platane said with a frown.
At this time, Daigo seemed to realize something, "Not good! This monster's target is the Anistar City Sundial!"
After Daigo's reminder, Dr. Platane also realized this.
A long time ago, he had researched the Anistar City Sundial. The sundial can emit energy waves similar to Mega Evolution and is itself a huge energy body.
Now that the monster is craving energy, it's not surprising that it's targeting the sundial!
Thinking of this, Dr. Platane immediately called Anistar City Gym Leader Olympia and told her about the matter.
They must stop the monster.
This monster is already so powerful. If it devours the sundial, the consequences will be disastrous.
At the same time, on the Anistar City side, the sundial seemed to sense the crisis and generated terrifying high temperatures, melting the base that fixed it.
After receiving Dr. Platane's call, Gym Leader Olympia immediately brought people to the sundial's location.
Looking at the abnormal sundial, Gym Leader Olympia muttered to herself, "Has it finally come?"
It turned out that a long time ago, she had predicted through Satoshi and his friends that the Kalos region would face a disaster, and knew that Satoshi and his friends were the key to resolving the disaster.
On the other side, Satoshi, Alan, and Pachira arrived at Zygarde's location.
Seeing Ange, Satoshi excitedly ran over to greet him.
"Mr. Ange, I knew it was you who came!"
Ange smiled and said, "Are you guys okay?"
Satoshi patted his chest and replied, "I'm fine, I'm doing great!"
"Pika ~ Pika ~" Pikachu, perched on Satoshi's shoulder, also imitated Satoshi, indicating that he was fine too.
Alan, on the other hand, looked shocked when he saw Ange.
"It's you!"
He had been looking for the person who easily defeated him and Charizard, wanting to challenge him again, but there was no news.
He never expected them to meet under these circumstances.
Satoshi asked in confusion upon hearing this, "Alan, do you know Mr. Ange?"
"We've met once," Ange replied, then he said to Satoshi, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The top priority is to restore Zygarde to normal."
Satoshi said upon hearing this, "Citron contacted me just now. He said he has found the machine to control Squishy."
Ange said in surprise upon hearing this, "That's great!"
As Ange's words fell, Z1 and Z2 collapsed under the attack of Xerneas and Yveltal.
They were finally defeated.
Although Zygarde is strong, they cannot win against Xerneas and Yveltal without merging into the 100% form.
