Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 366 Go talk to my finishing touch!

As Bai Zhou finished speaking.

An intense, blinding golden light emanated from his body!

In an instant, a dazzling array of seven colors enveloped the entire sky, like a cascading Milky Way!

The entire city, and even the entire region, was illuminated by this light!

At that moment, everyone in the square looked up, mouths agape, and forgot to breathe.

Amidst this dazzling light, Rayquaza evolved.

Two long, golden dragon whiskers appeared, and sharp, handsome wings stretched out from both sides of the body!

The jet-black dragon's body was covered with dazzling golden patterns, and its size expanded further, blotting out the sky!

When it unfolds its full form, the sky is filled with its body, leaving no room for anything else!

Delta airflow—open!

The previously restless sky became completely calm at this moment.

Whether it was the churning clouds or the raging wind, everything fell into a deathly silence in that instant.

Even the last remaining black storm around Dark Lugia vanished into nothingness at this moment.

Like an eraser brushing across the surface, leaving no trace.

This is a complete and utter miracle.

"The gods have evolved!"

"Mega Evolution?! That requires a deep bond between the trainer and the Pokémon to achieve!"

"Legendary Pokémon can Mega Evolve?! How is that possible?!"

"That handsome researcher—he actually evolved alongside Rayquaza?! Is that even possible for a human?!"

"Look at the sky! Look at the sky! It's completely—completely calm! Even Lugia's storm has been completely suppressed!"

"Hey! You handsome researcher! Are you really human?!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

At this moment, Chi Ri was completely stunned.

He never expected that Bai Zhou would be able to complete the Mega Evolution under such circumstances!

He knew what this meant!

Legend has it that the burden on trainers of Mega Evolution, which occurs when a Pokémon is in a state of authority, is unimaginable!

It's even extremely dangerous; the backlash is enough to tear apart the mental strength of an ordinary person!

No one would do that unless absolutely necessary!

Even they only allowed Groudon and Kyogre to use Primal Revert once, during their final battle against Shiraishu!

But now, Bai Zhou actually—

"You're insane! You're absolutely insane!"

The scorching sun completely breached the defenses and roared in exasperation.

He was no longer the calm and collected man he once was; anger was breaking through his defenses and surging from the depths of his heart.

He immediately threw the Poké Ball from his waist. The ball flashed, and Kamatari appeared beside him.

In the next instant, he used the power of the paper sword to appear above Dark Lugia.

Only by staying here, by the side of this strongest combat force at present, can he feel even the slightest sense of security.

The purpose of summoning the paper sword is not for attack.

That was his trump card for escape.

If things go wrong or if he gets the chance, he will not hesitate to cut open the Ultimate Hole and abandon Dark Lugia to escape.

Bai Zhou clearly wouldn't let him calmly arrange his escape route.

He looked down at Mew, which was staring curiously at Rayquaza with its big eyes, and gently patted its little head.

"Please, protect the people below."

"Mew~"

Dreamy nodded obediently, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

The next second, Bai Zhou threw out the sweet ball.

"Gardevoir, Teleport!"

Gardevoir makes an elegant appearance.

The fluffy white skirt moved without wind, light and graceful, like a blooming lily.

The spiritual power emanating from it was astonishingly vast, even causing the surrounding space to begin to distort slightly.

This is the ultimate amplification brought by the Superpower Slab, pushing its superpowers to unprecedented heights.

It didn't say anything more, but simply stretched out a hand and placed it on Bai Zhou's shoulder.

There was a slight tremor in the space, and the two vanished in an instant.

above the sky.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the space above Lie Kong's head.

Gardevoir landed steadily with White Boat, gracefully withdrew its grip, and stood to the side.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath, feeling the familiar sensation under his feet and the whistling wind in his ears.

"Sky Sit!"

He glanced at Chi Ri, who was still trying to steady himself not far away, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Take Dark Lugia to the sky! The farther the better! To avoid accidentally harming people!"

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose.

"The finishing touch!"

"roar--!!!"

Rayquaza's roar pierced through space, and even the people on the ground below felt the tremor from the sky!

Its massive body twisted strangely in the air, its agile movements possessing a rhythmic, dance-like quality.

But in the next instant, it transformed into a golden streak of light that tore through the sky!

Space trembled!

A straight, pitch-black crack was visibly torn open in the sky!

Those are the marks left by space being forcibly torn apart!

A flicker of horror flashed in Dark Lugia's crimson eyes!

It was completely unaware of what was happening when it was struck and imprisoned by the streak of light, and then forcibly carried away from the entire sky!

It glides into the deeper blue and disappears.

The entire square fell silent once again, witnessing the sudden turn of events.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

On the ground, only the wreckage of the battle and a desolate square remained.

People looked up, unable to recover for a long time.

"Gone, disappeared————"

"He's been taken away! That black dragon took Lugia away!"

"Where did they go? In the sky? Or—"

No one can answer this question.

Clearly, this is no longer a battle they can intervene in.

All they could do was quietly wait for the battle to end.

This is a battle between gods.

All they could do was stand still and wait quietly.

Waiting for the outcome of that battle.

Crimson clenched his fists, gazing up at the empty sky, his eyes burning with an unprecedented light.

That's not worship, it's not envy.

That was—desire.

One day, he will reach that level too.

for sure.

Not as a bystander, not as someone being protected.

Rather, it is as a participant, as someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

Qinglu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner turmoil.

The gap is too big.

It was so big that he didn't even have the thought of chasing after it.

That feeling of powerlessness is like an ant looking up at a bird, at a sky it can never reach.

But when he turned to look at the crimson figure beside him, and saw the burning light in the boy's eyes, he suddenly smiled again.

"us----"

His voice was a little hoarse, but it carried a seriousness he had never shown before.

"There is still a long way to go."

Zhu Lan had left the temporary command post at some point.

She stood at the edge of the ruins, facing the wind blowing down from the sky, looking up in the direction where Lie Kongzuo had disappeared.

The wind blew her long golden hair.

After a long silence, she whispered something, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.

"You must come back safely."

Xiao Zhi was so excited he couldn't speak.

He just kept jumping, hopping, waving his hands, his voice almost hoarse from shouting.

"Master!!! Keep it up!!!"

Pikachu, perched on his shoulder, waved its tiny paws excitedly as well.

"Pikachu Pikachu 1"

And above the sky, in a higher place.

It was almost touching the outer sky.

Rayquaza's body finally began to slow down.

The golden streak that tore through the sky slowly subsided, revealing two figures encased within.

Everything around us is going backwards at breakneck speed!

The scenery flashed by so fast that you couldn't see anything at all!

When everything finally calmed down, all that was left in front of me was an endless expanse of blue!

Looking up again, one can vaguely see the boundless darkness and the sky full of stars.

That is the universe.

Rayquaza's attack was the finishing touch, directly taking them to the outer layer of the sky!

We are only a hair's breadth away from the vast universe!

Below, the entire planet is outlined in a deep blue arc.

Above, there is an endless sea of ​​stars.

"call-

'

Bai Zhou took a deep breath and stretched.

Gardevoir stood gracefully beside her, her hands clasped over her abdomen, her expression serene and focused.

An invisible force of thought enveloped them, thoughtfully creating a safe protective circle.

In the shadow beneath his feet, a dark mass crept silently forward.

Gengar cautiously emerged, its two large eyes wide open, gazing longingly at the sight it had never seen before.

No wonder he was personally appointed "Founding General" by his father!

That's so cool!

When will it be able to do that?

"It's been so long since I've breathed such fresh air!"

Bai Zhou took a deep breath, his expression one of rapture.

Then-

"Achoo!"

He sneezed suddenly and rubbed his nose.

"—Yeah, the air is so fresh it's almost too much to breathe."

He muttered to himself, while tightening his collar.

Not far away, Dark Lugia finally managed to stabilize its massive body.

Chi Ri clung tightly to the feathers on its neck, and with the help of the Paper Sword's mental power, he barely managed to avoid being thrown off by the terrifying impact.

His face was frighteningly pale, and he had lost all his previous composure.

"madman!"

He roared at the white boat, his voice sharpened by lack of oxygen and agitation.

"You're a complete madman! Didn't you consider the consequences of your actions?!"

"There are no consequences."

Bai Zhou smiled slightly as he looked at his disheveled appearance.

"At worst, I'll just have to lie in the hospital for another month. It's not like I've never been in the hospital before; I'm used to it."

"Alright, now that all the obstacles are gone, we can finally have a proper fight here."

He stared directly at the blazing sun and flexed his wrists.

"One-on-one, fair and just."

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Seeing that golden energy was beginning to gather around Lie Kong, Chi Ri hurriedly shouted to stop him.

But Bai Zhou merely raised an eyebrow.

Even though you just waited for me, who says I have to wait for you?

"Rathalos! We're short on time, let's finish this quickly!"

Rayquaza roared once more, its body radiating golden light!

However, at that moment...

"etc!!!"

Suddenly, Chi Ri let out a near-hysterical roar, abruptly raising his hand, and a crystal fragment shimmering with an eerie light appeared in his palm!

The fragment was only the size of a fingernail, yet it emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation that sent chills down one's spine!

Fragments of a white jade pearl!

"If you dare to lay a hand on it, I'll detonate it right now!"

Chi Ri's eyes were filled with madness, devoid of any reason.

"The power contained within this fragment is enough to tear apart the entire spatial structure of Wind City! The chain reaction will destroy the ley lines of the entire region!"

"You don't care about yourself! Don't you care about the lives of those people in that city down there?!"

Bai Zhou paused slightly.

The golden light emanating from Liekong also diminished somewhat.

"You should know very well how powerful this thing is."

Chi Ri, panting heavily, stared intently at Bai Zhou, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I, Red Sun, admit defeat today, but that doesn't mean I'll die here! Let me go! Take your Rayquaza and leave!"

Bai Zhou remained silent for a moment.

Then he smiled.

There was no anger, no fear, not even mockery in that smile; only a touch of helpless sigh and a hint of inexplicable pity.

"Red Sun."

He spoke softly, his voice calm to the point of indifference.

"Do you really think I'd care about this kind of threat?"

Red Sun's pupils contracted.

"Detonate it."

Bai Zhou said calmly.

"Let me see how much sincerity you have in your so-called 'mutual destruction' strategy. It's nothing more than a city; you're worth that price."

"you--!"

Chi Ri's face flushed red, and his hand, gripping the shard, trembled violently.

He dare not.

Of course he wouldn't dare!

He himself could not have predicted the consequences of detonating the fragments!

Space is torn apart, energy is running rampant, and everything, including himself, will be swept into the chaotic turbulence! He hasn't lived enough yet! He hasn't seen the new world he's been searching for!

He just wanted to use this last trump card to buy himself a way out!

As for commanding Dark Lugia to counterattack—

We can't beat them, we simply can't beat them!

"Since that's the case—"

Bai Zhou sighed as he looked at his dilemma.

"Go tell my finishing touch!!!"

"roar!!!"

Lie Kongzuo roared to the sky, and golden light surged from his body, dyeing the surrounding void with a sacred color!

A terrifying sense of oppression crashed down on the dark Lugia not far away!

"Damn it!"

Akari suddenly turned his head to look at Dark Lugia, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes!

"Dark Lugia! Take flight! Squeeze out all your power! Then unleash Dark Storm! Destroy the city below!!!"

As soon as he gave the command, he abruptly released his grip on Lugia's feathers.

"Paper Sword! Take me away from here! Quickly!"

With a flash of silver light, the paper sword instantly whipped up the blazing sun with a sharp paper blade.

Then, it retreated rapidly, transforming into a streak of light, quickly separating from Dark Lugia's body, and plummeting towards the ground below!

at the same time.

Dark Lugia let out a mournful howl, and the dark aura around it suddenly surged!

It flapped its wings and took flight!

With just this one movement, the clouds below were stirred up, spinning, churning, and piling up wildly!

That is the manifestation of authority!

Before long, several dark tornadoes connecting heaven and earth rose from the clouds!

They spun wildly, with a terrifying power capable of devouring everything, their target aimed directly at the brightly lit Wind City below!
