Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 397 Higana: What do you mean by two dragon gods of the same level?

Wild Deoxys has appeared!
When exactly did the phantom thief switch the stones?

wrong.

Daigo quickly realized that the phantom thief had never successfully switched the goods in the first place, and that her real purpose was not to steal anything.

"Deoxys...there are two?"

Higanbana must have negotiated with another Deoxys beforehand, turning it into stone to avoid investigation, so that she could release it at this time and use the battle between Deoxys and them to attract Rayquaza from high above!
In any case, Daigo could not allow another Deoxys to fall into the enemy's hands.

He immediately ordered Metagross to guard the rock, and together with Yoru, they faced Deoxys.

After exchanging brief glances, the three of them sent out Aggron, Sceptile, and Blaziken respectively.

In the blink of an eye, Deoxys split into four. The three "stand-ins" each used "Psychic" on three Pokémon, while its main body rushed towards Metagross, which was guarding the stone behind it.

"A 'stander' can also attack?" Xiao You was surprised.

He had seen similar operations before, but he had never seen anything like Deoxys's ability to make a "Stand" as tangible as possible and unleash "Psychic Power" with a power no less than that of the original.

Even the three main Pokémon, who were all well-trained, were unable to hold their own against the "Psychic" used by the "Substitute"... and even seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Haruka keenly sensed the flow of energy: "It's 'Self-Regeneration'! These Stands are using 'Self-Regeneration' to convert some kind of energy in the air into superpowers that build themselves. I think Deoxys is using his superpowers to control them!"

Once the principle behind the move is understood, the solution becomes obvious.

Xiaoyou decisively dispatched the giant wolfhound, ordering it to "roar loudly" and attack the entire field, disrupting the stability of superpowers.

Deoxys's connection with the "Stand" was suddenly broken, and the latter's figure became somewhat erratic.

Seeing this, the elves seized the opportunity and relentlessly attacked with their own or most effective moves.

However, the nature of Psychic-type Pokémon means that they can retain a certain degree of autonomy even after the connection between the main body and the "Substitute" is severed.

As contact was lost, the "Stand" forms of the three Deoxys inexplicably changed, becoming as thick as buckets.

"really……"

"It actually has this property!"

According to the videos and reports left by Dr. Lundo, Deoxys possesses the characteristic of "form change," and can transform into four modes in battle as needed: Balanced, Offensive, Defensive, and Speed.

Deoxys has now clearly transformed into a defensive mode, using its superpowers to strengthen its structure, making it capable of withstanding most impacts.

despite this……

The Lizard King, who was exceptionally sensitive to vitality, realized that the change in form only altered the structural strength of Deoxys; in essence, its vitality remained unchanged, and its physical strength and life force were no different from before.

In addition, its structural strength enhancement comes from superpowers; if it chooses to enhance defense, its other abilities will naturally decrease.

Thus, the Lizard King made a graceful move, causing the "hardened plant" to grow wildly, forming a tangled network of tough vines that bound all three "stands" that were blocking the attack.

Because they slowed down and focused on defense, neither of the "stand-ins" could stop the slow and clumsy "hardened plants".

"Parasitic Seeds" and "Trouble Seeds" were scattered on the Stands, attempting to absorb their energy. Sensing the reduced intensity of the attack, the Stands transformed back into their balanced forms, but due to the decreased structural emphasis, they suffered from the rooting of the two types of seeds.

When connected to its original form, it can crush seeds with its speed form, "teleportation", or its superhuman energy manipulation. However, the "Substitute" that lost its mind due to "roaring" is obviously no match for trainers.

Just as the Stand was destroying the Hardened Plant with its superpowers, both the Parasitic Seeds and the Trouble Seeds seriously interfered with it, and the attacks that had been waiting in the wings were also launched at the right time.

Especially "Trouble Seed," this move can interfere with a Pokémon's ability, and if successful...

It's just that it's completely useless.

Deoxys's Stand's characteristics were completely unaffected. Upon realizing the severe damage, it immediately transformed into its attack form, pouring all its remaining energy into the "Psychic" move.

The vines, flames, and leaf blades were all disintegrated by the powerful destructive mental force; its unparalleled power was something even Daigo's Aggron wasn't confident it could stop.

Therefore, it Mega Evolved, and with the energy turbulence released by Mega Evolution and its pure steel-type body that resists psychic abilities, it barely managed to block Deoxys's "Psychic," but it also lost its ability to fight on the spot.

Fortunately, the three "stand-ins" also dissipated due to the release of too much energy, allowing Yuu and Haruka to turn their attention to Deoxys, who was already fighting Metagross in the back.

As for the phantom thief who instigated all of this, he and the fox thief Mei Mei went into hiding, waiting for the arrival of the Dragon God worshipped by the Meteor People.

Whether or not we steal Deoxys's remains is completely unimportant...

……

At this very moment, high in the sky.

A green, dragon-shaped ancient Pokémon arrived in the skies above the Hoenn region.

Not long ago, it suddenly sensed a familiar yet repulsive energy below.

That was the power of an alien force that descended upon this planet from outer space a few years ago.

It should have already eliminated it in the Arctic, so why did it happen again?
Rayquaza, still loathing it, grew increasingly angry and, after a long absence, descended below the atmosphere, flying towards the location that displeased it.

Everything unfolded as Higanbana had predicted, and the legendary Celestial Dragon finally descended upon Hoenn, arriving above Larousse City.

The researchers, who had already given a warning, immediately issued one. Daigo, who was fighting Deoxys's main body alongside Yuuka and Daigo, received the news and immediately abandoned the stone he had been longing for.

Sensing the opening, Deoxys swiftly snatched his companion back.

It was a very pleasant experience working with Xijiana.jpg
However, the moment it flew out of the research institute with the stone in its arms, it saw the green dragon descend upon Larus City and, without saying a word, unleashed a powerful "destructive beam" at it.

To prevent damage to his companion's remains, Deoxys had no choice but to abandon them and fly into the air to meet the attack, transforming into his defensive form to block it.

Although it wasn't the same animal, the unfinished battle that had continued for four years still filled everyone present with anticipation.

But just as Deoxys regained its equilibrium form and prepared to launch a counterattack...

According to researchers, another Rayquaza also appeared in the skies above Larousse City...
