Chapter 569: The Fall of Two Overlords
In the sky.
Giratina seized the opportunity of Will's body stiffening to prepare to escape, half of its body already drilled into the wormhole.
This was an excellent opportunity to escape.
Because the impact of Steel Beam was too strong.
Resulting in the distance between it and Will currently being at least a hundred meters!
Even if Will's speed was fast.
It was too late to stop the escape at this moment.
And on the other side, Will also realized Cynthia's stamina problem.
Just when he himself was considering whether to give up.
On top of a certain building in Alamos Town.
A red chain shot through the air, wrapping around Giratina in the blink of an eye.
Giratina, bound by the Red Chain, was like a tied-up domestic dog, unable to move a single step, and was even forcefully dragged out of the shadow world.
"Red Chain?!"
Will's eyes widened in shock.
The Red Chain is an item specifically used to target the Creation Trio; it could even be called a 'divine artifact'.
But to create the Red Chain.
The power of the Lake Guardians must be combined to do so.
And the organization in this world that possesses the technology to create the Red Chain, in Will's impression, there is only one—Team Galactic.
"Come! Giratina! Help me create a perfect world! Hahahaha!"
A hysterical voice sounded.
Will turned his head to look.
The one controlling the Red Chain was none other than the boss of Team Galactic, Cyrus!
In almost an instant.
Will figured out what was going on.
The space-time tremors over the past month.
Caused the Sinnoh League to transfer a lot of manpower to investigate the matter, to the extent that they ignored Team Galactic, who hadn't shown their faces in several years.
The result was taking advantage of this opportunity.
Team Galactic struck like lightning, quickly capturing the Lake Guardians and creating the Red Chain!
Even.
Team Galactic might have long noticed that the tremors this month were related to the space-time gods, so Cyrus brought people to Alamos Town early to wait in advance.
The original target might have only been Dialga or Palkia.
But unexpectedly, their ultimate target—Giratina—arrived.
Even though.
Will also didn't know what Cyrus of this period wanted with Giratina.
The Cyrus in the original work.
Only realized that was the world he wanted to find after being taken to the Distortion World by Giratina.
But the current Cyrus shouldn't have been there at all. And listening to Cyrus's words.
He probably heard the legend that Giratina could create worlds from somewhere.
"Tsk..."
Will smacked his lips.
He couldn't care about so much right now.
Rather.
Cyrus appeared at just the right time, helping him forcefully keep Giratina here, and even restricted its mobility.
Since that's the case.
He must obliterate Giratina with the fastest speed.
To prevent Cynthia from being unable to hold on, leading to the Bond Phenomenon failing to be maintained.
Moreover.
As long as Giratina dies.
Not only will Will and Cynthia no longer have to worry about sneak attacks in the future, even Team Galactic's plan will be shattered.
Killing two birds with one stone!
Swish—
Will's figure turned into light and shadow in the sky, passing by Palkia and Mega Garchomp, and fiercely punched Giratina's head with an Ice Punch.
And right at this moment, Giratina was bound by the Red Chain, completely with nowhere to run.
"Roar!"
Giratina took a punch and still couldn't move.
It only felt that the fear in its heart had been completely swallowed by anger.
But this anger wasn't directed at Will.
But at Cyrus below who used the Red Chain!
It turned its head and spewed a Dragon Breath towards Cyrus. The latter seemed prepared, having his Honchkrow and Weavile simultaneously release Dark Pulse, blocking this move.
Seeing this scene, Will frowned.
Years passed.
Cyrus's strength had become even more powerful.
The two Pokémon he brought out both had mid-tier Champion levels.
Although still not a match for Cynthia.
But in this Sinnoh region.
Those who can face Cyrus head-on and win are probably only Cynthia and N, the Hero of Truth who gained Reshiram's favor.
However.
Cyrus placed in the current Alamos Town.
His strength can't even rank in the top five.
So Will had no time to deal with him now. He even felt having this guy attract Giratina's attention made it more convenient for him to finish off the Renegade Pokémon.
Unfortunately.
If only Normal and Fighting-type moves weren't ineffective against Giratina.
Will might have already beaten Giratina to death alive by now.
Sometimes this type advantage makes one happy.
But sometimes it makes one feel frustrated.
Depressed.
Will delivered a spinning kick to the side of Giratina's face.
That wasn't Close Combat.
It was Earthquake.
His fighting skills being so highly praised by so many people, another point is that for Will, any part of his body,
Can be used as a weapon to release moves.
Earthquake.
Can be stepped with the sole of the foot, kicked with the calf, or even headbutted.
Whichever is convenient.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out.
Giratina was kicked flying to the ground by Will's whip kick, its face still vibrating constantly.
The Red Chain was pulled taut, making clanking sounds, giving a feeling of being tottering and about to break.
Rumble rumble...
Giratina's massive body struggled unwillingly on the ground, and finally laid its head weakly on the ground, panting heavily.
Ever since that dog changed colors.
It had been constantly getting beaten.
No matter how tough it is.
It couldn't hold on much longer now.
Moreover.
It was so tired.
Chased and killed by that damn guy for a thousand years.
That guy wouldn't kill it either.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, crushing it and chasing it everywhere, crippling it countless times, but just wouldn't slaughter it.
Over this thousand years.
Being attacked once every year had caused Giratina to have a nervous breakdown. Now it was irritable, prone to anger, suspicious, and couldn't even sleep peacefully.
It was really very tired.
Ran for a thousand years.
Didn't want to run anymore.
Giratina's consciousness blurred, its vision full of fuzziness.
Listening to the sounds of those two idiots fighting in the sky, it couldn't help sighing in its heart.
Fought for hundreds of millions of years.
Why don't they ever get tired.
The three of them were born together; looking at it now, the one taking a step ahead is itself.
It didn't know if after it died.
That guy would create a new Giratina to replace it.
Giratina here had already started watching the revolving lantern (life flashing before its eyes), reviewing its tedious life.
On the other side.
Cyrus stood in front of Will at this final moment.
He wanted to stop Will from killing Giratina.
"Giratina cannot die. It is the seed to create a new world."
The thought in Cyrus's mind was very firm.
He always believed that Giratina could help him create the heartless world of his dreams.
"I really don't have time to mess around with you."
Will raised his hands expressionlessly.
Two Focus Blasts over ten meters in diameter instantly appeared in his hands.
Those two idiots in the sky were still fighting, the Renegade Pokémon on the ground hadn't completely breathed its last, he had no time to play house with this obsessed Cyrus anymore.
Tapping his toes in mid-air.
Will's figure instantly disappeared.
"Honchkrow, Weavile! Stop him!"
Cyrus's naked eye couldn't capture Will's location.
He could only leave everything to his Pokémon.
But...
A speed that even Giratina couldn't react to, could two mid-tier Champion Pokémon react to it?
Super Large Jade Focus Blast! (Naruto Rasengan reference).
Two high-speed spiraling golden energy spheres smashed onto Honchkrow and Weavile's heads.
Just this one move.
Made them roll their eyes back and lose their ability to battle.
Not being directly erased from this world by this move could be considered their strength having no water mixed in (being genuine).
Although Cyrus was shocked in his heart, things having reached this point, he couldn't possibly give up the Giratina that was about to be in his hands.
His hand rested on the Poké Ball at his waist.
Preparing to send out the next Pokémon.
However.
When he looked up.
Will was already standing in front of him, the distance between them only a short ten centimeters.
Cyrus could even hear the other party's breathing.
At this moment.
What appeared in Cyrus's heart was not panic or fear.
On the contrary.
He was very calm.
Probably because he had already anticipated such an ending long ago.
In the storybooks he read when he was little.
Evil can never triumph over justice.
So the current ending seemed to be already destined.
He had also thought about becoming an ally of justice, saving more people in this world.
But...
Why did he walk to the point where he is today?
And who is defining justice and evil?
Is what he does.
Necessarily evil?
"...Is it over."
Cyrus murmured expressionlessly.
"On account of you helping me keep this guy here, do you have any last words?"
Will stared at him.
"What's wrong with a heartless world? The human heart is an incomplete thing. Because of the existence of this kind of thing, this world becomes so despairing, bringing..."
Cyrus's words came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
He stared blankly at the photo Will held in his hand.
The faces of Will and Cynthia in the photo were full of a happy expression.
If there were no heart.
Where would this happiness come from?
At this moment.
Faded memories reappeared in Cyrus's mind.
[Rotom, we will always be together, right?]
[That's right, roto. Rotom and Cyrus are partners forever. Being together with Cyrus, Rotom is very happy~ Is Cyrus happy?]
[Happy.]
A cloudy tear fell from Cyrus's eye socket.
His thoughts were forever frozen here.
"Sinnoh, I leave it to you."
Cyrus's body collapsed weakly onto the ground.
His eyes stared blankly forward, gradually losing their final luster.
'Ah... right. If there were no heart, how could those days I was together with you be so happy.'
'It seems, I was indeed wrong.'
A huge shadow enveloped Will.
He put the [Cynthia's Heart] photo away, turned around and looked at Giratina, who had stood back up behind him.
Will wasn't panicked at all.
At this moment, Giratina was an arrow at the end of its flight (a spent force), and there was not a trace of desire to survive in its eyes.
"Prepared for death, haven't you."
Today.
Will swore to make the two overlords of the dark world fall here.
One.
Is the overlord of the Sinnoh region's underworld, Cyrus.
The other.
Is the overlord of the Distortion World, Giratina.
Regarding Will's words.
Giratina gave no response.
It stared quietly at Will, its eyes widening, and boundless darkness thoroughly enveloped it and Will within.
