Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

It's not just Bai Mo; in fact, whether it's Cynthia, Wataru, or Daigo, once they reach this level, it's very difficult for their strength to improve significantly.

Champion level represents combat power that is basically at the pinnacle of the world, but it also means that the strength has reached a point where it is very difficult to improve.

No matter what it is, it is extremely difficult to go further when you are already at the peak.

For Kazama Shirasumi Daigo and others who are already at the peak of their championships, seeking a breakthrough is an extremely difficult task.

Because the champion is a level that is both desirable and unattainable, like an insurmountable chasm. It seems so close, as if you could reach out and touch it, but no one can truly find the key to that level.

No one knows what Chi relied on to reach that level back then. The realm he reached after winning the championship was as powerful as a mortal peering into the realm of gods.

"Cynthia, how did you manage to Mega Evolve using two Pokémon?" Kazama Shiramo was discussing the possibility of becoming stronger with Cynthia, completely unaware that a terrifying battle was about to begin outside because of them!

"Actually, that can't really be considered my ability." Cynthia shook her head. If one could truly use two Mega Pokémon at the same time, it would naturally be an extremely simple possibility for becoming stronger.

When you reach this level of strength, everyone can clearly see the value of being able to use two Mega Pokémon at the same time. This is a qualitative change caused by the accumulation of quantity.

However, Cynthia's head shake proved that this possibility was not replicable.

Cynthia could never lie to Kazama Shirasumi, except for certain things.

"My ability to use two Mega Evolutions simultaneously is not actually due to my own power. At that time, Garchomp and Lucario were already under Arceus's control. In fact, I was just a key to the evolution of these two Pokémon. The real source that provided them with Mega Evolution was Arceus. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

After Cynthia explained the principle behind this, Kazama Shiramo realized that it was probably hopeless. Where was he going to find a creator god-level energy source to supply him for dual Mega Evolution?

The only option is to abandon this unlikely operation, which is really a headache.

Where should he begin to improve? Kazama Shiramo fell into deep thought. Subtle improvements wouldn't be of much help in the current battle...

"Awoo!" While Kazama Shiro was still thinking, a heart-stirring dragon roar came from afar. This sound belonged to Flygon. Kazama Shiro and Cynthia's Pokémon were all free-range in the Crown Mountains. Of course, they were not far away from them, within the range that they could easily reach with teleportation.

"The desert dragonfly is calling me, I'll go check it out." Kazama Shiramo smiled at Cynthia and vanished from the spot in an instant.

The desert dragonfly's call carried a hint of joy, showing no sign of pain or wariness, clearly indicating that it was not a bad thing.

"What happened?" Kazama Shiramo teleported to the side of the Desert Dragonfly and asked it with concern what had happened.

However, the desert dragonfly pounced on him and knocked him to the ground, its eyes revealing a look of joy.

"Awoo, awoo!" Flygon chirped merrily, sounding less like a dragon-type Pokémon and more like some indescribable, handsome canine relative.

The dragon's tail was swaying so joyfully!

"What? You can transform into human form?" Kazama Shiro was somewhat surprised. To be honest, given Flygon's strength, it should have been able to transform long ago. After all, both Altaria, which is younger than Flygon, and Dragonite, which is weaker than Flygon, should have been able to transform long ago.

It would be strange if a creature like Desert Dragonfly, which has already stepped halfway to the threshold of champion supremacy, couldn't transform.

"Awoo!" The desert dragonfly let out a joyful chirp, and like her predecessors, began a brand new transformation.

The scales on her body slowly receded, revealing fair and delicate skin. Her large dragon body began to shrink, revealing the appearance of a small, ordinary human girl, who looked exceptionally cute.

Her white hair fell gently down, revealing her perfect S-curve to the air. Her simple clothes concealed the areas that needed to be harmonious, but they couldn't hide her even more explosive figure than Yowane-nee's. She was so beautiful that it was unbelievable.

His blue-gold eyes shone with a unique brilliance, making Kazama Shiromo somewhat unsettled and at a loss for words.

While Kazama Shiro was still in a daze, a pair of wide dragon wings had already enveloped him. Only then did Kazama Shiro notice that the Desert Dragonfly's wide dragon wings had not disappeared with the transformation, but remained on the Desert Dragonfly's body. The wide dragon wings directly enveloped the two of them, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"Mo." Desert Dragonfly's voice was soft, but it didn't feel gentle at all. Instead, it had a bit of a tough tone. This ethereal voice, with its slightly drooping tone, made Kazama Shiramo feel like his ears were about to get pregnant.

Mo, that's what Desert Dragonfly always called him, but others couldn't tell. It was a term of endearment that sounded even more intimate than "husband," just like the intimate whispers of lovers in each other's ears.

"Hmm." Kazama Shiromo blushed a little. It's not his fault. In this unexpected situation, it's normal to be flustered and lose your bearings. After all, Kazama Shiromo has never been the kind of gentleman who can remain unmoved by temptation.

"I want to thank the strange magnetic field here, which allowed me to find the trick to transformation." The desert dragonfly gently stroked Kazama Shiro's face and whispered in his ear.

"Are you happy to be able to transform into human form?"

"Yes, I'm here, so they all have to step aside."

The desert dragonfly stared intently into Kazama Shiramo's eyes, its gaze both gentle and possessing an indescribable domineering quality.

No more words were needed. The desert dragonfly bit down on Kazama Shiro's lips. Nothing more was needed. With such large wings, one could truly do whatever one wanted at a time like this!

It's just a pity for Cynthia, who's still waiting in the same place. This time, Kazama Shiramo seems to have been gone for quite a while...

Chapter 163 The Gathering of Pokémon

Sinnoh, Zhuqing City.

Arceus's expression shifted strangely, his face etched with solemnity.

The approaching aura proved that the guy had arrived. Although they had made some preparations when capturing Ho-Oh and Lugia, they really didn't expect the other party to arrive so quickly.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the Pokémon League be the ones more eager to get themselves killed?

Arceus looked out at the gloomy sky, as if he had foreseen today's events. The dark clouds outside the window had not dispersed, as if a great battle was destined to take place today.

"Their arrival is so blatant, it's a provocation." Giratina spoke slowly from behind Arceus. Generally speaking, if it's just approaching Zhuqing City, there's no need to release such an aura.

However, Asuna's aura of divine dominance was completely undisguised, laid bare like this, and Arceus could not possibly fail to notice it. It was as if the words "Come and fight me if you dare" were written all over her face, which was a blatant provocation. Seriously, didn't Arceus have any pride?

"Since they're so enthusiastic, there's no reason to refuse." A sinister glint flashed in Arceus's eyes. Lugia and Ho-Oh's brainwashing was complete. Asuna was only slightly stronger than him now. So what if she had the Stone Tablet? The fighting force gathered here was enough to give Asuna a run for her money.

"Girls, come with me, we're getting ready to receive our customers." With lines that sounded like those of a brothel madam, all of Arceus's high-end combat forces, thanks to Palkia's spatial teleportation, had already lined up in formation, standing in a row high above Zhuqing City.

Meanwhile, Arceus's orders have been relayed, and the Sinnoh citizens under the leadership of Xilan have begun a full-scale emergency evacuation plan. Even though the main battleground is in the sky, the city directly below will inevitably be affected, so it is better to arrange for people to evacuate as soon as possible.

Come, Asuna, Arceus's gaze was deep. There should only be one creator god in this world. Even if you are stronger than me now, that creator god can only be me!

"Did we come to the wrong place?" Dialga stared blankly at Xerneas, finally managing to drag Xerneas out as his savior, but the two of them finally realized a very serious problem.

Strictly speaking, Xerneas is not directionally challenged; he knows Carlos's way very well and would never get lost. But the problem lies in...

After leaving Carlos's territory, Xerneas was also unfamiliar with the outside world, especially the vast ocean. Two dignified first-level gods did not know how to get to the so-called Hoenn.

After drifting at sea for so long, just passing through, Dialga and Xerneas finally saw land again, which made them incredibly happy, except for one small problem...

This doesn't seem to be Hoenn?

"How would I know where this is? I've never been here before." Xerneas rolled his eyes at Dialga, not giving this stupid woman a friendly look. She tricked him out of his home and he couldn't even find his way here. It's ridiculous. You dare to take someone like this on a trip?

"This seems to be Sinnoh..." Dialga's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Looking at the somewhat familiar scenery around him, he felt as if he had returned to the starting point after going around in circles. Although finding Xerneas was a gain in itself.

But even he and Xerneas weren't enough to feed the enemy kills...

"Can you feel it?" Xerneas looked at Dialga, his intentions clear. The divine aura emanating from the distant sky was exceptionally terrifying, and also mottled and complex.

“I can feel it.” Dialga nodded. The mottled auras of sacred fire, reincarnation, ocean currents, reality and so on mingled together and collided in the sky above Sinnoh. Even from such a distance, he could feel it: “It seems that the battle has begun, and the actual situation is much more complicated than I expected.”

"Let's go and take a look." Xerneas's antlers gleamed, indicating that it was indeed no longer time to remain uninvolved. With so many clashes of divine powers, the entire Pokémon world was beginning to be affected, most notably the Sinnoh region, where the weather was eerily unsettling.

At this point, it's impossible to remain uninvolved; the impact of a battle at this level is enough to radiate throughout the entire Pokémon world.

“Alright.” Dialga nodded, no longer intending to back down. The two sides were clearly at war, and although he didn’t know who to help, it was always a good idea to go and check it out first!

————————————————————————————————————————

High in the sky, Rayquaza arrived in the Sinnoh region.

Rayquaza rushed over after finding Groudon lying dead underground, but Groudon certainly wouldn't arrive that quickly.

After all, Groudon isn't exactly a Pokémon known for its speed, but of course, the more serious problem is...

Groudon can't fly...

Yes, it's heartbreaking, but it's an undeniable fact that leaves no room for argument. Rayquaza had no choice but to rush over on its own.

The situation is indeed very serious...

Rayquaza, which has the Weather Lock ability, noticed the anomaly as soon as it arrived in the Sinnoh region. Despite the intense sunlight high in the sky, persistent dark clouds blocked out all the sunlight.

What's even stranger is that, theoretically, with such thick dark clouds, it should have been pouring rain in the Sinnoh region, and maybe a few couples were even having a cliché love story in the rain.

But nothing happened, nothing strange occurred, and that's the strangest thing.

It's like a dark cloud that exists simply to block out the sun; its purpose is unclear, leaving one completely baffled...

"Looks like the guy." Feeling the cold wind, Rayquaza realized that the big battle ahead was probably about to begin, and for the sake of his year-end bonus, he should probably hurry up and help.

Hopefully, Asuna won't be defeated too quickly.

Chapter 164 Reinforcements

To be honest, the situation is a bit bad for Asuna.

A gust of cold wind brushed against Asuna's hair. To be honest, Asuna felt a little uncomfortable; her opponent was clearly much stronger than she had expected.

The part of himself that he had severed off had actually gained the strength to barely contend with himself. Although he could still easily overpower the opponent, the opponent, with the help of the three dragon gods of Unova, was completely suppressed from beginning to end, even with the help of the stone tablet.

Especially Kyurem, whose divine authority is a combat anomaly, is truly too troublesome.

If it weren't for Mewtwo's help, I would probably have been a lamb entering a tiger's den, simply throwing myself to the slaughter.

However, Mewtwo is also in a difficult situation. Having returned to its original form, Mewtwo is still struggling to hold on using its Mega Evolution Y form. But facing the combined attacks of Giratina, the god of reincarnation, Palkia, the god of space, Ho-Oh, and Lugia, Mewtwo's defeat is imminent.

Damn!

Asuna stared at the guy who was exactly the same as her except for his color, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Bai Mo?"

"I don't know." Arceus answered Asuna's question simply and clearly. She really didn't know. Because she missed Bai Mo, she was so angry that she even wanted to tear someone apart.

"You're talking nonsense!" Asuna stared at Arceus: "If you hadn't arrested Dad... Bai Mo, then why is Bai Mo completely out of contact now?"

“How would I know where he’s hiding?” Arceus said coldly, though she was also furious. “But after I’ve dealt with you, I’ll take my time to catch him. He belongs to me!”

She doesn't seem to be lying...

Asuna began to ponder. After using her words to buy some time, she also considered her next move. If Bai Mo wasn't in the enemy's hands, then she needed to think about how to retreat. According to the old man, Rayquaza should be arriving soon. With Rayquaza and Groudon around, Mega Rayquaza and Primal Revert Groudon would be excellent combatants, and they should be able to escape unscathed.

Peng!

With a loud bang, Palkia instantly appeared in front of Mewtwo. Caught off guard, Mewtwo was slammed to the ground and de-evolved.

"What a terrifying guy." Palkia exclaimed. It was astonishing that he could withstand the combined attacks of four legendary gods—Lugia, Ho-Oh, Palkia, and Giratina—for so long without being defeated. The fighting power of this unfamiliar legendary god was truly terrifying.

The even more frightening problem is that this legendary Pokémon looks quite young. All the other Pokémon present are incredibly old, making this little guy's potential truly terrifying.

“That’s strange.” Giratina flapped its wings, its scarlet pupils staring at the spot where Mewtwo had fallen, a strange expression on its face. “This guy was unusually fierce when he fought, but surprisingly, he’s more focused on defense than anything else. Don’t be careless. Although we knocked him out of his Mega Evolution, his injuries aren’t as bad as you think.”

"Is this really okay?" Ho-Oh flew over quietly. "This child seems to have something to do with Mew. Won't beating her to death offend the origin of all things?"

Lugia glanced at Ho-Oh, and even in her brainwashed state, she didn't really get along with Ho-Oh: "Just don't kill her. She was our enemy first, so what if she's Mew?"
