This is definitely the largest battle since the establishment of the Pokémon League.
The League, having gathered elites from various regions, holds nearly ten legendary shadow Pokémon, and at the end of the war, Team Rocket aims to reap the benefits like Blackbeard.
This book is first published on 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.
Now, the shadows are in name only.
The League's morale is low.
Although Team Rocket is generally in a state of complete victory,
the rapid reaction force, hastily assembled by Giovanni to infiltrate the battlefield, is limited in number.
Now, the final outcome of this war will rest on the shoulders of two teenagers who appear to be under 15 years old.
The Galar Palace television news anchor, broadcasting live, fervently exclaimed: "Dr. Su Sheng has joined the battle for the second time, bringing our Galar's guardian deity, the Shield King Zamazenta! This represents Dr. Su Sheng's bond with our Galar region! And the century kiss between Bewear and Zamazenta has declared that these two powerful Pokémon will happily unite, and Dr. Su Sheng, as their trainer, will use a great victory to announce the beginning of this relationship."
The battlefield of the Indigo Plateau Champion Road.
Joker and "Su Sheng" once again locked eyes.
Interpreting the meaning of the phrase, "The moment trainers meet eyes, it's the signal for battle to begin."
In the next instant, "Su Sheng" raised his hand as if summoning his stand, pointing his index finger forward.
The Shield King roared and stepped forward, leaping up and opening its canine mouth to condense an enormous pink ball of light.
Moonblast!
A Moonblast, the size of Gaia Energy Cannon, descended from the sky.
Joker raised his right hand into a palm, making a defensive gesture.
In the incredible attention of the world, Incineroar's body erupted with flames, transforming into Entei.
And at the moment the transformation was complete, the Gaia Energy Cannon-sized Moonblast had already fallen.
Instantly, the lower half of Entei's limbs were directly nailed into the soil.
This was still under the circumstance of converting to the Fire type to resist the Fairy type.
Otherwise, it was feared that the entire body would be flattened.
"Flare Blitz!"
Joker said coldly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The flames on Entei's body burned even more fiercely.
Endless flames, like dry heat, ignited at the bottom of the pink giant ball, burning even more vigorously.
For a time, one above and one below, one red and one pink, it was as if two suns were competing.
"Su Sheng" turned the arm he raised and waved it gently to the side.
Zamazenta's mask, resembling a shield, suddenly shone with a dazzling metallic luster.
In the next instant, the Shield King leaped up and swooped down.
Iron Head!
Bang!
The Moonblast that Zamazenta itself launched was shattered into countless light pink particles the moment it collided with Iron Head, dissipating beside the Shield King accompanied by a strong wind.
But it wasn't over yet!
Bang!!
The next second, Zamazenta smashed the flames burning on Entei's body to pieces again.
The earth was torn apart!
Entei, whose position was originally only below the knees in the ground, was instantly thrust into the earth with its entire body.
And a shocking giant pit was left on the periphery.
"Nice!"
Wallace no longer had the elegance of his usual role as a judge in the Grand Festival, clenching his fists tightly and cheering excitedly.
Worthy of being the hero who truly saved Galar 3000 years ago.
The first round of the confrontation completely suppressed the strange Umbreon that had just defeated several of their preliminary champions.
"Don't underestimate that man."
Cynthia still pursed her pink lips, though still with a hint of childishness, but her pretty face, which already had eight parts of future beauty, didn't show a trace of ease.
As the person who had lost to Joker the most times besides Lance, she knew very well that that man was not so easily defeated.
Pfft! Pfft!
Suddenly, two blue and white intertwined, thick and slender dragon tails drilled out from the left and right sides of Zamazenta's limbs.
Binding the Shield King's left forelimb and left hind limb respectively.
Cynthia, and other preparatory champions, who had just fought against it once, had a sudden change of expression.
Of course, they recognized it.
That was the tail of the mutated Suicune named "Walking Wake"!
At this moment, the head of Entei, who had just been smashed into the ground by Zamazenta's Iron Head, leaving only a head exposed, gradually turned into a phantom like a mirage.
"Substitute!?"
Cynthia's right pupil suddenly shrank.
She immediately understood.
Entei's Flare Blitz was not to resist Moonblast.
But to cover up the Substitute!
Thump—
Walking Wake rushed out of the soil on Zamazenta's side, opening its mouth at an ultra-close distance of less than ten centimeters from the Shield King.
Hydro Steam!
The ultra-high-pressure water gun of boiling steam hit the Shield King's cheek almost the moment it was released.
The ultra-high-temperature water gun, comparable to flames, caressed its face.
Originally, even Zamazenta would have been knocked back under such a powerful impact.
However, its legs were now entangled by Walking Wake's two thick dragon tails like pythons.
Unable to escape.
Plus, at such a close distance, if it used a protective shield skill like "Protect".
Walking Wake would also be included.
Under these circumstances.
The Shield King could only take this move head-on.
The few areas of skin on its face that were not covered by the King's Shield, the right side of the bridge of its nose, blood mixed with water stains fell, and Zamazenta's face darkened.
Didn't you say we were acting? Why are you being serious!?
"Awoo!!!"
Under such indignation, Zamazenta's roar exploded.
Boomburst!
Rumble~
The Champion Road, which had already been devastated by the war, was impacted by sound waves, and a large number of rocks rolled down from the mountain wall, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Now, the close-range sonic attack also made Walking Wake frown.
The two dragon tails binding the Shield King's feet also loosened a bit.
The King's Shield, resembling a mask on Zamazenta's face, reappeared with a dazzling metallic silver light.
Although Zamazenta didn't have time to accumulate more power.
But as a top legend, an attack that wasn't fully exerted was already a realm that ordinary Pokémon could only look up to.
Iron Head!
At such a close range, Walking Wake didn't have time to use its best long-range attack methods.
The raging crimson surge that ignited on its body directly crashed into it!
Outrage!
Boom rumble—!
The silver and dark red energy circles rapidly expanded, turning into two air shields in front of Zamazenta and Walking Wake.
The entire battlefield trembled.
The destructive dark current symbolizing the Dragon type attempted to break through the Shield King's iron armor and devour it.
However, the dark red dragon wave had just gained a slight upper hand, and the metallic silver light bloomed even more dazzlingly.
It could be said that it suppressed the raging dragon breath in an instant.
Boom—
In the next moment, the collision of Iron Head and Outrage ended with the former crushing the latter.
Walking Wake, who had been steadily gaining the upper hand in tactics thanks to the trainer's command, was blasted out because its overall strength was inferior to its opponent.
Whoosh—
As Walking Wake was blasted away, a sound like a fighter jet's engine piercing through the sky.
A red shadow landed on Walking Wake's flight path and caught it.
Latias!
The next second, another ray of red light shot out, retrieving Walking Wake.
Everyone followed the direction of the red light and saw Joker, who was holding up his hand, retracting the Poké Ball again.
"That mutated Umbreon is no match for Zamazenta! Joker is doomed to lose!"
At this time, Erika, who had recovered from the influence of Conqueror's Haki, clapped her hands excitedly.
Steven Stone said nothing.
He had opened champagne too many times in this war and was really afraid to open it again.
And Joker's expression didn't show a trace of panic.
Immediately, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.
Because they saw Joker retract the Poké Ball containing Walking Wake with his right hand, and at the same time, in less than a second, his left hand took out a new Ultra Ball.
And the position where his palm contacted the Ultra Ball was emitting a light cyan light symbolizing healing.
"Pastoria Power!"
Steven Stone, Agatha, Lorelei, Bruno and others shouted these four words in unison.
After all, they had seen this move from Lance countless times.
Joker was using Pastoria Power to help the Pokémon in that Ultra Ball recover its strength.
As for which Pokémon was inside...
Thinking carefully, the Pokémon that needed Joker's help to recover was probably... only the few that he had just captured in this war, right?
And the most likely one was naturally...
"Although with my energy, I can only help him recover less than 20% of his strength, at least he has the ability to fight."
Joker suddenly spoke.
An almost suffocating ominous premonition surged into everyone's hearts.
The Ultra Ball was thrown vertically.
The moment the lid of the ball opened, a terrifying and familiar dark hurricane swept through the heavens and the earth.
The Champion Land, which had just recovered a trace of brightness, was once again shrouded in darkness.
Before long, in the center of the black cloud, the Dark Lord slowly descended, its scarlet eyes seeming to rewind time back to when the war had just begun a few hours ago, overlooking the entire battlefield.
"As, as expected..."
Pastoria City Pokémon Center.
Ash, who was still cheering for "Su Sheng"'s victory just a second ago, slumped to the ground and backed away, saying:
"I, I knew it was him, he, he's out again!"
"Du, dummy, don't panic!"
Although Gary Oak was scolding Ash, his tone was also trembling.
"Even if Dark Lugia's stamina has been restored, how much can it be restored? And don't forget, Su Sheng has Zamazenta!"
Hearing Gary Oak's words, the people gathered at the Pastoria City Pokémon Center were slightly relieved.
Professor Oak also nodded, comforting the people, saying:
"And although Joker used that special device to snatch Dark Lugia from Death Gold, in the final analysis, he just changed Dark Lugia's Poké Ball, and didn't control its mind together. Whether Dark Lugia will listen to Joker's orders... this is still unknown."
……
……
Professor Oak could think of this, and so could other Pokémon scholars around the world, as well as the elite trainers on the battlefield.
Not to mention the League, even the people on Team Rocket's side stopped what they were doing and held their breath.
Boom—!!!
Suddenly, a spectacular scene appeared.
The Shield King's body ignited a strong scarlet flash, lighting up this darkness like a scarlet ominous star.
Even the dark aura created by Dark Lugia couldn't cover up this light!
That move is the exclusive skill that killed Dark Lugia before, Behemoth Bash!
"Don't take it head-on, first pull away and use..."
Before Joker could finish speaking, Dark Lugia opened its mouth and released an extremely shocking Dark Spiral Strike.
It was a Dark Hurricane right from the start!
Obviously, as Professor Oak had expected, it didn't mean to listen to Joker's orders.
And the moment the Dark Hurricane was launched, Zamazenta moved.
The exclusive skills of the Dark Lord and the Shield King collided in just an instant.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, it swept in all directions.
The ground, which was already covered with cracks and broken marks, made another tooth-aching cracking sound.
After a moment of competition.
Behemoth Bash broke through the Dark Hurricane and hit Dark Lugia's chest hard.
A very obvious dent was knocked out in the center of Dark Lugia's chest, and its scarlet eyes widened comically.
Joker's voice came again from below, "I just did some emergency treatment for you, your stamina has only recovered 20%, you're no match for Zamazenta, listen to me if you want to win."
However, Dark Lugia obviously still didn't take the words to heart, and its whole body exuded dark energy that even Darkrai couldn't compare to.
This time it wants to use Dark Rush!
Thump~
However, Dark Lugia had just accumulated a little energy.
Zamazenta, who had just given it a blow and was about to land because of the recoil, kicked its legs in mid-air.
A quite remarkable repulsive force erupted under the Shield King's feet, pushing Zamazenta back like a rocket's thruster!
"Moonwalk!? He can do it too!?"
A group of students at the Ma Master Martial Arts Hall were stunned.
Bea recalled the relationship between Su Sheng's Bewear and Zamazenta.
She didn't think it was strange for Zamazenta to learn this move.
As Su Sheng said before, the Navy Six Styles are useless to high-level elves.
But Moonwalk is really useful, especially for Fighting-type Pokémon. Being able to move more nimbly in the sky is as important as feeding them ten rare candies.
Thump—!
Dark Lugia's Dark Rush had not yet completed its charge, and its chest had been hit for the second time.
This time it was Pounce!
"Stubborn blockhead who doesn't listen..."
Joker secretly rubbed his temples.
It seems that if he doesn't give this guy some harsh treatment, he won't understand the importance of a trainer.
Zamazenta is still too gentle after all, he can't bring the fear of life and death to this big black bird.
Thinking of this, Joker secretly looked towards Sonia's side.
To be precise, he was looking at the yellow-skinned mouse watching the show next to Sonia.
……
……
Dark Lugia was retreating steadily under Zamazenta's continuous fierce attacks, but with its thick skin and flesh as a top legend, it had not fallen for a while.
At this time, Joker spoke again:
"Dark Lugia, under Death Gold's command, you are really pathetically weak, forced to that extent by an ordinary Bewear."
As soon as these words were spoken, Dark Lugia's eyes flashed with even more ferocity, clearly extremely displeased with Joker's words!
However, Joker continued his verbal assault.
"You're nothing more than a collection of unstable power, lacking intelligence. The only one who can guide you is me."
At this point, Joker finally looked up, making eye contact with Dark Lugia, and uttered three words:
"Obey me."
"Liii—!!!"
Dark Lugia, already being overwhelmed by that damn dog, was further provoked by Joker. The accumulated anger erupted like hot oil with a dropped grenade. In extreme rage, it opened its mouth and unleashed a Hyper Beam.
Shut up, you mere human!
Whoosh—Boom!
But at that moment, the sound of heavy objects colliding erupted.
An immense wave spread from Dark Lugia's neck, making it difficult for the Alliance, Team Rocket, and the few remaining Shadow Triad members below to open their eyes.
"Wh-what's going on? What happened again!?"
Sonia, shielding her face with her hands, struggled to peer through her fingers at the center of the battlefield.
Looking up, she saw a Pokémon similar to Zacian, but more slender and feminine, appearing beside Dark Lugia's face.
Its fangs held a blade of energy, heavily slashing at Dark Lugia's neck.
"C, Crowned Sword Zacian!?"
Dark Lugia, who had been about to attack Joker, stared blankly at the damn dog who had almost sliced its neck in half.
Who, who the hell are you!?
A hint of fear finally appeared in Dark Lugia's eyes.
That damn dog was really trying to cut off my head!
[An evil aura, an aura as inherently evil as that Poison Dragon...]
Crowned Sword Zacian's mature voice echoed in Dark Lugia's mind through telepathy.
"Crowned Sword Zacian! Crowned Sword Zacian is here too!"
"We're going to win! We're finally going to win!"
"Even if Joker brought out all the Legendaries he stole, he couldn't possibly defeat Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta working together!"
Crowned Sword Zacian's sudden arrival sent the world into complete jubilation.
Now we can really pop the champagne!
Crowned Sword Zacian's telepathic voice resounded again, [You two... are vessels of evil!]
Saying this, Crowned Sword Zacian, like a swordmaster drawing their blade, picked up a broken sword from under the fur on its side, a sword that no one would even pick up from the trash.
Instantly, the wounds on Crowned Sword Zacian's body were covered by golden armor, and the broken sword in its mouth transformed into the shining Sword of Kings.
The Sword King leaped up.
Here it comes again!
Sacred Sword!
Just now, that "Sacred Sword" was merely a blade of energy condensed by Crowned Sword Zacian, yet it almost severed Dark Lugia's head.
This time, using the Sword of Kings, the power would undoubtedly be even greater.
Dark Lugia's body filled with dark flames like Amaterasu, transforming into a Dark Phoenix and charging forward.
Dark Charge!
Instantly, an incomparably deep ravine stretched across the black cloud-filled sky above.
The chasm-like ravine reappeared.
However, after less than three seconds of stalemate, Dark Lugia's previously invincible dark power was clearly suppressed by Crowned Sword Zacian.
Boom!!!
Dark Lugia crashed down heavily, landing in front of Joker.
"Unlike Zamazenta, that simp younger brother, Crowned Sword Zacian is completely committed to absolute justice."
Joker looked down, smiling at the disheveled Dark Lugia, lying on its back.
"Want to try dealing with her yourself? You'll be killed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sword King charged over.
Seeing Crowned Sword Zacian charging with a forty-meter greatsword in its mouth, its expression was no joke.
It really had "I'm going to kill you" written all over its face!
I'm going to die!
If I continue to fight alone, I'm really going to die!
At that moment, only one thought filled Dark Lugia's mind.
"Listen to my command, use Hyper Beam on the ground."
Suddenly, that damn human's voice entered its ears.
Dark Lugia hesitated for a moment.
In the next instant, between having its head chopped off and abandoning its dignity.
Dark Lugia decisively chose the latter.
Still on its back, Dark Lugia twisted its neck and released a Hyper Beam at the ground behind its head.
Boom!
Under the terrifying power that defies description, the entire Champion Road plateau shook violently.
And the mountaintop battlefield was even more so.
Crowned Sword Zacian's rapidly advancing steps were affected, slowing down slightly.
That little bit of time was enough!
Dark Lugia used this opening to quickly fly up.
But there was a human on its head, who else but Joker!?
"Heat Wave!"
Joker pointed down.
Dark Lugia hesitated for half a second, but still flapped its wings, and a violent heat wave fell like a red tsunami, spreading to every corner of the battlefield.
Crowned Sword Zacian's eyes turned cold, and the Sword of Kings in its mouth slashed upwards in a vertical motion.
The vertical sword energy, as if piercing through the heavens and the earth, split the high-temperature heat wave in two.
Crowned Sword Zacian itself jumped up from the gap in the middle.
The Sword of Kings bloomed with sword light again, like Artoria's Excalibur, with golden light surging wildly, turning into a 40-meter greatsword.
I'm going to cut you down!
Dark Lugia's face changed drastically.
Damn crazy woman!
"Hurricane."
Joker sighed inwardly, feeling that that Hawkeye guy's swordsmanship seemed childish, and then the command sounded again.
This time, Dark Lugia didn't hesitate.
Its wings stirred up a super hurricane.
However, just like facing the heat wave just now.
Facing the falling hurricane tornado, the Sword King slashed one sword at a time, regardless of wind or fire, I'll slash them all for you.
But in the next second, the wind and fire that were cut down by the Sword King merged together.
Two violent forces erupted in a chain reaction.
"Hold on."
Under Joker's command.
Dark Lugia concentrated its power on one point.
Crowned Sword Zacian slashed a Sacred Sword, as if striking steel.
A technique to concentrate power and fully defend against the opponent's fatal attack.
"Body Slam!"
Dark Lugia roared at the words, using its body, which was almost ten times the size of Crowned Sword Zacian, to slam it down hard, crashing it into the tornado of fire below.
Everything happened in less than ten seconds.
Crowned Sword Zacian, who had been in an overwhelmingly advantageous position, fell into a disadvantage.
All of this was because there was a top trainer commanding from the sidelines.
No wonder the three Legendary beasts had to find a trainer worthy of them in order to deal with Lorelei in the future.
"Awoo—"
However, less than two seconds after Crowned Sword Zacian fell into the sea of fire, the howl of a wolf was heard, and the sound waves stirred up the air, blowing away the sea of fire.
On a scorched earth, there was still a piece of land of about 100 square meters that remained intact.
It was a protective shield!
The one who released it was Crowned Shield Zamazenta!
And beside Crowned Shield Zamazenta was that man!
At this moment.
Joker stood on top of Dark Lugia's head.
Su Sheng stood between the Sword and Shield Kings.
For a time, the whole world held its breath for this classic scene that will be passed down.
Without noticing, the yellow mouse beside Sonia quietly raised two fingers to Joker, making a V sign.
To be honest, I don't really want to save the manuscript. The readers in the comment area always come up with ideas that make my eyes shine, but I can't copy it if I finish saving the manuscript, hahaha just kidding, but everyone's suggestions will be taken seriously. I'm offering a six thousand word update, asking for food and support.
