Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice-Chapter 224: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice []

"Joker!?"

Baraz cried out the name of the trainer behind Primarina in shock.

"You bastard!"

Now realizing what was happening, Malva glared furiously at Joker. With a wave of her hand, the Delphox in front of her was ready to unleash its move.

However, before Delphox could even swing its wooden staff, Primarina had already pulled its left claw—still impaled in Lysandre's chest—out and twisted around, grabbing Delphox by the throat and hurling it away with "Dragon Claw."

Boom!

Delphox was sent flying right past Malva, crashing into the rubble diagonally behind her.

"Ugh!"

On the other side, the heavily wounded Lysandre knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the gaping, bowl-sized hole in his chest.

At this point, unless top-tier healing legendaries like Ho-Oh or Xerneas showed up, there was absolutely no saving him.

Malva couldn't care about anything else right now and hurriedly threw out her Master Ball.

What appeared was none other than Xerneas, the embodiment of the Eternal Tree!

"Hey! Wake up! Wake up! Hurry and save him!"

Malva kept shouting desperately at the sleeping god of eternity.

"Karma does exist, huh."

Stephen glanced at Malva, who was yelling at the Eternal Tree.

Team Flare had captured Xerneas to activate the ultimate weapon.

And now, to save their boss, they had to beg Xerneas for help.

Normally, with Xerneas's saintly personality, there was a good chance she'd repay evil with kindness and save Lysandre.

But the problem was, Xerneas was sleeping and couldn't hear!

And it was Team Flare's fault too, since Xerneas refused to cooperate with them, so they forced her back into her original form.

If these punks hadn't been such jerks, maybe Lysandre would still have a chance.

[Is that... Master Xerneas? Why is she there?!]

Diancie, who was following Sonia, was already stunned.

The big sister she had been searching for over a month had already been captured by humans.

"Huh? You guys didn't know?"

Nessa looked at Sonia and Diancie in confusion.

"You know?" Sonia asked her best friend, equally puzzled.

Nessa slapped her forehead. "Oh, sorry, I almost forgot you haven't joined our family group chat yet, Sonia."

Sonia: "..."

So I'm an outsider, huh?

"Miss Malva..."

Seeing the frantic Malva, Baraz opened his mouth slightly, wanting to step forward and comfort her.

Joker came up with Primarina.

"Wait! Please don't!"

Seeing this, Baraz, despite his pain, spread his arms out to shield Malva.

"Miss Malva was just deceived by Lysandre. Please spare her!"

Both Joker and Primarina were left speechless.

Dude, at a time like this, you still have the energy to care about her?

"Dr. Stephen, look at that!"

Standing in the center of the battlefield, Diantha, who had originally relaxed a bit due to the arrival of Cynthia, Leon, and the others, suddenly changed expression, pointing at the darkness swirling in the sky.

Everyone turned their heads.

They saw the evil Hoopa, having broken free from the Prison Bottle, fully revealing its true form, locking eyes fiercely on the smaller Hoopa.

"Disappear!"

Evil Hoopa opened its huge maw and fired a Dark Pulse at the smaller Hoopa!

If you asked who he wanted to destroy most after being sealed for a hundred years, it would be the ancestor who sealed him—Baraz and Meray's great-grandfather, Ghris.

But now Ghris was dead, and his hatred had shifted to his descendants and the little Hoopa.

After all, they were both Hoopas—so why should one get to roam the world while he was trapped in a dark, tiny bottle?

"Waaahhhh—!"

The little Hoopa screamed in fear as the Dark Pulse closed in.

At the critical moment, a blinding white light shot in from the side.

It smashed straight into evil Hoopa's face.

With one blow, evil Hoopa's face twisted from the impact.

The Dark Pulse's trajectory also shifted, barely grazing little Hoopa's left horn.

BOOM! BOOM!

Two thunderous explosions rang out almost simultaneously.

One was the Dark Pulse that missed, blasting a distant office building.

The other was evil Hoopa being knocked away, crashing into the ground at the edge of the stadium and creating a crater dozens of meters wide.

"Whoa! That's Bewear for you!"

Gary cheered excitedly, clenching his fist.

The one who just punched evil Hoopa was none other than Bewear!

"Big Brother!"

Little Hoopa called out gratefully.

"Don't mind this guy, just keep evacuating everyone here."

Stephen waved, signaling little Hoopa to keep working.

The moment he finished speaking, evil Hoopa had already climbed back up.

Its crimson, evil eyes glared at Bewear.

The next second, evil Hoopa's six severed arms spread out.

The six gold rings on its wrists flew out, and amidst its demonic roar, chaotic energy waves appeared in the center of the rings.

A tremendous pressure instantly enveloped all of Lumiose City.

Even Cynthia, who had been through the great battles of the Indigo Plateau and Sinnoh's Lily of the Valley Conference, felt her heart race and her mind go blank.

"That guy... don't tell me..."

Karen, knowing Hoopa's special abilities, felt a strong sense of foreboding.

"Summon... it won't help, right?"

Will forced a smile, but was so nervous he was tongue-tied. "Even if you summon them, they might not help."

They all knew little Hoopa's rings could summon legendary Pokémon.

But summoning was one thing—whether they'd help was another.

If you called Xerneas or Ho-Oh, they might help if you had a good reason.

But if you called them to fight, that was another matter.

Legendary Pokémon rarely got along; most wouldn't listen to each other.

"Grrroar—!"

At that moment, a deep roar came from the top-left golden ring.

A gigantic dragon, silver-white and highly asymmetrical, with wings shaped like plugs and an intimidating aura, flew out first.

"Kyurem!?"

The Unova League Chairman and Iris, who was a year younger than Ash, shouted its name in unison.

At the same time, atop the Dragonspiral Tower in northeastern Unova...

A green-haired young man, about the same age as Steven or Wallace, climbed to the summit.

[Tell me, what is your ideal?]

A hollow voice echoed in the young man's mind.

With an emotionless, androgynous face, he responded without hesitation, arms wide:

"To free humans and Pokémon from the constraints of Poké Balls, to separate and liberate them as in Black and White!"

"Yes! I want to be the bridge between Pokémon and humans! That is my ideal!"

The towering summit fell silent for a moment.

After a while, a dark gem appeared before the youth.

Just as Yveltal and Xerneas take on cocoon and tree forms while dormant, Unova's legendary dragons become stones while sleeping.

This was Zekrom's dormant state—the Dark Stone!

The Dark Stone glowed blue, and under the youth's solemn gaze, gradually transformed into a mighty dragon.

"ROAR—!"

The majestic dragon's cry shook the heavens.

At the base of the tower, Ghetsis, standing at the head of the Plasma Team, grinned ecstatically.

Success! Success!

The puppet King he had raised was recognized by the dragon god!

And this power would be his!

[Your resolve reveals your ideals!]

The fully awakened Zekrom's voice echoed in N's ears.

This meant a new hero of ideals had been born!

Meanwhile, Reshiram, still in Light Stone form, watched silently.

Hmm... So Black Dragon has already chosen. I'd better start looking for my true hero too.

"Let's work together, Zek—"

N smiled sincerely, about to call out his new partner's name.

But before he could finish, a huge golden ring appeared behind Zekrom.

Before the new duo could react, a massive force dragged Zekrom into it!

Light Stone-form Reshiram was stunned.

What the hell! I've seen that thing before!

That psycho is back?

And N was dumbfounded.

Wait, where's my Black Dragon?

...

...Lumiose Stadium.

Zekrom flew out from evil Hoopa's left-hand ring, once again shocking countless Unova viewers.

This time it's Zekrom!?

Does that mean the next one is...

However, the anticipated third of the Tao trio did not appear.

Instead, one of Sinnoh's Creation Trio, the god of time—Dialga—showed up!

Cynthia, who had just seen Dialga last year, turned pale.

Right behind, the god of space, Palkia, glowing pink, followed.

Below, Origin Forme Giratina, looking like a giant centipede, slithered through the ring.

Finally, from the last ring, a massive crimson leg stomped down, rapidly restoring the battered battlefield.

The god of land, Groudon!

Six top legendaries, each with a unique presence, circled the demon-like guardian deities, their roars echoing epically.

"Hoopa can do that!?"

The Sinnoh Elite Four, who had experienced little Hoopa's teleportation, shouted in unison.

The eldest, Bertha, was the first to recover. She murmured, "It does make sense. That little hoopa can teleport humans, so why not Pokémon? Still... this is way over the top."

"This... this is unwinnable, right?"

Drasna swallowed, her MEGA Altaira trembling.

"We'll... be fine, right?"

Cynthia tried to reassure herself: "Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina don't get along. They shouldn't..."

She'd heard from Sheena that the Sinnoh trio had terrible relationships.

Whenever they met, they'd start fighting.

Even if that evil Hoopa summoned all three, Arceus's children would never work together.

They might even start infighting, or turn on evil Hoopa.

Far away in Unova, the seven-year-old future champion Iris looked at Drayden, eyes wide, "G-Grandpa... is this... bad?"

Drayden pursed his lips, then calmly said, "No... not necessarily. Kyurem has never gotten along with Black and White, so fighting together is unlikely."

Compared to Cynthia, whose Sinnoh knowledge came second-hand, Drayden knew the Unova dragons well.

Kyurem despised working with Black or White.

This meant, that of the six legendaries evil Hoopa summoned, five weren't united.

If they could exploit that, maybe there was still hope.

To be honest, Drayden and Cynthia weren't wrong, but the problem was... they didn't know about evil Hoopa's other ability.

Suddenly, Palkia moved first!

The god of space's right arm glowed pink, and with a swing, a crescent-shaped Spacial Rend shot toward Bewear.

Palkia's signature move—Spacial Rend!

Bewear's pupils shrank.

BOOM—!

The Conquerors Haki surged, almost shattering the dark sky.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Various police Arcanines and Manectrics—any non-champion-level Pokémon—fell one after another, eyes rolling back.

The next instant, Bewear stepped forward and raised its right hand, striking Saitama's signature pose.

Advanced Conqueror's Haki: Mega Punch!

BOOM!

A thunderous boom.

Red and pink energy clashed for a few seconds, and then the pink side couldn't keep up and was shattered by the red fist wind.

The intense light made everyone close their eyes, but the shockwave swept over anyway.

"Everyone, be careful!"

The assembled League trainers barely had time to react, commanding their aces to use Protect, Reflect, and other defensive moves.

Though Mega Punch's power was reduced after breaking through Spacial Rend, it still carried enough force to KO any regular champion-level Pokémon, flying straight at the seven gods.

"Ugh...!"

The second deity struck.

It was Dialga!

The god of time opened its mouth, blue and white energy forming a sphere that became a massive laser beam, radiating destructive power skyward.

Mega Punch's shockwave was instantly pierced.

And it wasn't over!

Evil Hoopa's right hand suddenly reached into a golden ring.

At the same time, a golden ring appeared behind Bewear.

A giant hand reached out, grabbing Bewear by the neck.

Normally, Bewear had a hundred ways to break free.

But now, there was no time!

Dialga's Roar of Time was right in front of them!

"Stephen!!!"

At that moment, Nessa, Sonia, Diancie, and countless viewers shouted in unison.

Just as Bewear and Stephen were about to be swallowed by Roar of Time...

Suddenly, a half-transparent, dark shield flew in from the side.

It blocked Bewear from the Roar of Time.

The world seemed to tilt at that moment!

Time's power crashed into the dark barrier, exploding with a force equal to the earlier shockwave.

"Hoopa!"

Stephen called out.

Little Hoopa, who was moving the civilians, immediately waved its golden rings, teleporting all the champion trainers and their partners behind Stephen.

A second later, the spot Cynthia and the others had just been standing in was swallowed by the shockwave.

A few seconds later, the wave faded.

The entire Lumiose Stadium was in ruins.

"That black shield, is that...?"

Leon's eyes widened.

The black shield faded away.

Even though the champions had guessed, they couldn't help but gasp.

Shadow Lugia!

"Joker!"

Malva gritted her teeth, glaring in rage at the figure standing atop Shadow Lugia's head.

Before she could react, Diantha rushed up and grabbed Malva's wrist from behind.

"Everyone, help out!"

Diantha barked.

Drasna, Siebold, and Wikstrom hurried up, restraining Malva.

But Malva didn't care about her situation, only glaring hatefully at Joker.

"How could this be?"

Cynthia said in disbelief, "Dialga and Palkia... how are they working together?"

"They're probably being controlled..."

Giovanni barely resisted sending out his Dark Mewtwo, pointing at the gods who hadn't rebelled.

Everyone squinted and looked closely, noticing all six legends had faint crimson glows in their eyes, just like evil Hoopa!

"Not only can he summon legends, but control them too?!"

Leon's mouth dropped open.

He'd thought Hoopa's portal ability was outrageous enough.

But this big one was even crazier—not only could it summon legends, but it could control them!?

[Die!!!]

A boyish voice, completely at odds with the form, rang out—but no one was laughing now.

Zygarde's blue core, still under Team Flare's control, had been hit by the shockwave, but as a first-tier god, it couldn't be defeated so easily.

After Giovanni and the others were teleported away by little Hoopa, Zygarde immediately targeted the evacuating civilians using Hoopa's rings.

"Oh right, I almost forgot there's still a berserk one."

Giovanni raised an eyebrow. "Stephen, leave that one to me."

It was a Ground-type, after all—so Ground Giovanni would handle it!

"Mm... I'll leave it to you, old man."

With that, Stephen stepped forward.

"Dr, Stephen, Joker..."

Diantha looked worried.

"At a time like this, he shouldn't be in the mood to fight me."

Stephen walked to the center of the wasteland with Bewear.

Joker still stood atop Shadow Lugia.

The two faced off below and above against the seven gods.

"Just this once—let's cooperate."

Stephen smiled slightly.

Above, Joker curled his lip in disdain.

His acting is getting better and better.
