Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Oh dear, it's no use."

"What kind of mechanism is this?"

Chi Hong, perched on Lugia's back, leaned slightly forward, showing no sign of panic.

boom!!!

Suddenly, bursts of violent lightning erupted from inside the palace!

It remains an indiscriminate attack, regardless of the target's location; it's still a large-scale area-of-effect skill!

"Block it."

Chi Hong spoke softly.

A pale yellow barrier immediately appeared on Lugia and Rayquaza's bodies, blocking the surging lightning.

"Koike, if even Mega Rayquaza's Z-Moves can't damage it..."

"My attack is unlikely to be effective either."

Lugia's voice came through, and what it said made a lot of sense. After all, even though Lugia unleashed a move that could destroy space itself, it still had no effect.

Within this dimensional rift...

"Hehehe!!!"

"Now, it's my turn, Hoopa, the Time-Traveling Demon God, to make his appearance!!"

"Hoopahoopa!!"

Hoopa, with its tiny body flying around wildly under the watchful eyes of everyone, seemed extremely excited, as if it were about to be free!

"I don't see it coming. There's no indication that you're about to be released from prison," Xerneas said in a deep voice. This time, no matter who it was, Miss Xerneas would be fiercely jealous!

"It'll be soon, Hoopa, isn't this me, Hoopa?"

"You can travel freely~~"

"Hoopa!!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!!"

Hupa covered his mouth and let out bursts of mischievous and smug laughter.

"If you ask me, that thing might just release a flood of water later, like a vast ocean."

"It could be me," Kyogre said, his huge fish eyes wide with dissatisfaction.

"No, I think it's me."

Palukia opened her eyes.

In an instant, all the Pokémon fell silent.

"Damn it, Hoopa!"

"I've forgotten about you!"

"I don't care! Hoopa needs to get out first!"

Hoopa flew up to Palukia, waving its little arms with a fierce look on its face.

Of course, Palukia completely ignored it!

I was the first legendary Pokémon to make a move, all along...

It was Palkia who got there first!

Why did Rayquaza go out first?!

"I can't understand!!" Palkia suddenly raised its head, as if it had remembered something unpleasant.

The other first-level gods simply watched without expressing their opinions; their compatibility was too great, and the other first-level gods were well aware of this matter.

Outside, Chi Hong was still entangled with the dark palace. So far, Chi Hong had not come up with any good way to make his attacks effective.

But he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all; he was very calm!

"I feel like something's not right..."

Chi Hong tilted his head and said softly.

A jet-black beam of light swept across, and Lugia, along with Chi Hong, dodged it repeatedly.

"Something's not right?" Lugia asked.

"Although this thing looks very similar from top to bottom, judging from the window position, I feel..."

"This palace is upside down. Even though the main gate runs through the top and bottom, it still looks like it's upside down, left and right."

Chi Hong gestured with his hand as he spoke, his tone calm and composed, showing no sign of being nervous about his current predicament.

"and then?"

What does it mean if everything is upside down?

"Like Pokémon, pets are incredibly diverse, and even more complex than Pokémon."

"It's not so strange that such a large Pokémon, resembling an upside-down palace, would appear, is it?"

As Lugia spoke, it flapped its wings, and streaks of wind dispersed the wind pressure emanating from the palace.

Within the dimensional rift, a pair of eyes suddenly opened!

"Why do I suddenly feel a little cold?" Hoopa scratched his head, puzzled. "I'm supposed to be a genius demon god, so why do I feel a bit chilly?!"

"No way?"

"Hehehe..."

A hollow, even desperate tone emanated from the voice...

A colossal figure slowly emerged from the hellish darkness.

"No way?! What makes you think you can do that?"

"You're the biggest slacker!!"

"Even if it's Dialga, it can't be you!!"

Palukia's voice rose several octaves!

He and Dialga have caused Chi Hong so much trouble, yet they're still in jail...

The guy in the same department as them, this dark-skinned fellow, never cared about anything, just slept all day, and yet good things fell on his head.

"Get Little Hoopa out!"

"Before we're completely compatible, let's get that guy back to sleep!!"

Dialga's eyes flashed with light, and even the usually good-tempered God of Time felt extremely unhappy!

"Brothers..."

"I'm sorry, but whatever you want to do now is already..."

"It's too late..."

Giratina's terrifying form was fully revealed; it raised its head, its eyes gleaming with an eerie, malevolent light...

external.

"It's like... coming from a reversed world."

Chi Hong spoke softly, revealing his guess.

The next second, Chi Hong's body went limp and he collapsed onto Lugia's back.

"Ouch!!!"

"My goodness!!"

Chi Hong held his head in his hands, looking like he was in great pain!

"It's almost empty! With Xerneas's blessing, how could ninety percent of its remaining life force be drained all at once?!" Lugia was shocked; it immediately sensed something was wrong.

As soon as Lugia finished speaking, Rayquaza disappeared without hesitation and returned to Chi Hong's pet space.

In the distance, Mewtwo nodded gently to Dark Mewtwo and returned to Chi Hong's pet space.

At this point, only Lugia and Dark Mewtwo, two legendary Pokémon, remained on the field.

"What happened?" Yang Ru asked anxiously.

"Nothing happened." Dark Mewtwo's tone remained cold.

"Xiaochi! Chihong!!"

Lugia dodged another ray and shouted.

"I'm here...and I'm alive, I'm not dead yet..." Chi Hong shook his head and touched his chin. Goodness, blood was flowing down his chin from his nose.

"They were practically drained dry."

"My poor sister Lu went to so much trouble to give me that buff!"

Chi Hong sighed, then slowly stood up and said softly, "Go back, Lugia, you've worked hard."

"What?" Lugia turned around and looked at Chi Hong in confusion, then nodded slightly and disappeared from the spot.

Without Lugia carrying him, Chi Hong fell straight down.

boom!!!

A beam of light swept across the area again, but Chi Hongren, who was in mid-air, simply raised his hand to cover his baseball cap and ignored the beam.

Then, his body blurred, and Chi Hong vaguely saw an apocalyptic world...

However, from other perspectives, the ray passed right through Chi Hong's body without touching him at all.

"Is it fun?"

"This is my first time doing this too, and you gave me the inspiration."

Giratina's voice echoed in Chi Hong's mind.
