Boom——!!
Two bursts of flames clashed at the altar, the terrifying power directly ignoring the defense barrier set by the altar, destroying all the contained running energy, burning it to ashes.
Interlaced Flames!
One of Reshiram's exclusive techniques!
Lance, standing on the balcony, pressed tightly against the wall, holding his breath.
For a moment just now, he thought these flames would take him out.
Not until the scorching aura gradually faded did Lance let out a long breath.
He turned to look toward the inner hall.
His pupils involuntarily contracted.
Such strong and terrifying flames would inevitably bring about extreme destruction.
However.
At this moment, apart from the central altar having turned completely to powder, no other structures in the entire inner hall showed any changes.
What terrifying control power!
With the explosion's occurrence.
Natsuhiko looked around at the stone pillars scattered throughout Aindoak.
He saw the faint psychic power flowing upon them instantly dim and rapidly vanish at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The barrier was destroyed!
"Né mi..."
Victini felt it most clearly, able to distinctly sense that the shackles binding it had been lifted.
"Little V, from now on, nothing will be able to limit you." Natsuhiko said with a smile.
"Né mi!"
Victini nodded vigorously, blinking one eye and making a "V" victory gesture with its fingers.
[I have something else I need to do.]
Reshiram's voice arose in Natsuhiko's mind.
Hearing this, Natsuhiko gradually reined in his smile.
"Is it Kyurem?"
Reshiram nodded slightly.
[Though Zekrom and I aren't very fond of it, it cannot be denied that we were once one. It is also an important existence to us.]
"The Three Dragons of Dao" were originally one.
Furthermore, Kyurem, as the shell, is more special.
If it can obtain the "Fusion Magic Card" from Xia Ka, it would be able to freely wield the power of the Twin Dragons.
Allowing the Plasma Team to control Kyurem is not a good thing for Natsuhiko.
Of course.
If Reshiram goes alone, he is still somewhat worried about the Plasma Team's technology.
Since they could make Kyurem angry and lose control, it suggests they might have the capability to affect Reshiram's abilities.
"Alright, I have a subordinate I promised as well." Natsuhiko said.
[Subordinate?]
Natsuhiko's psychic power extended.
Soon.
Four flying disc-shaped Genesects formed a straight line, descending from the air, surrounding Natsuhiko's sides.
[This is...]
Seeing the Genesects, even Reshiram was a little taken aback.
Pokémon from three hundred million years ago, even Reshiram didn't recognize them, especially since Colress had modified Genesect, changing their appearance significantly.
"Genesect, their leader has been controlled by the group currently attacking Kyurem, and it's very likely they've become part of the forces opposing Kyurem. I also promised them I would help rescue their leader and take them home."
The eyes of the four Genesects flickered.
They thought Natsuhiko, their temporary leader, would have them wait a long time, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
Moreover, during this period with Natsuhiko, not only did they eat and sleep well, but they also received a kind of respect from a superior that they had never felt before.
It was precisely this respect that made the Genesects willing to serve Natsuhiko.
Reshiram deeply glanced at the smiling Natsuhiko.
No wonder this person is connected to so many Divine Beasts.
[Perhaps, truth is not all you are.]
Hearing this, Natsuhiko was startled.
What do you mean?
Can we also attempt to communicate with Zekrom?
It's just....
Thinking of how he first wanted to crush the "Dark Stone" upon seeing it...
Forget it, forget it.
"Let's go, Reshiram."
With a clear sound——
In the azure sky, Reshiram flapped its wings, soaring through the clouds, gliding across the celestial dome, flying high in the heavens.
Lance opened his mouth wide, standing on the balcony.
Did Natsuhiko forget about me?
And at this moment, calmly flying above the stratosphere, Natsuhiko's expression was serene.
He also suddenly felt like he had forgotten something.
But looking at Reshiram, Victini rolling around in its feathers, and the four Genesects flying in formation behind Reshiram, everyone fully assembled, nothing seemed to be forgotten.
Oh~~
"Reshiram and Little V, these are some Energy Blocks I made myself for recovering states. Given the potential for battle, it's better to maintain peak condition."
He had forgotten the most crucial step—building relationships.
His skills have declined, not as good as Togekiss anymore.
Natsuhiko took out Energy Blocks and distributed them to the Pokémon.
Victini took a bite, and its eyes instantly lit up.
Although Energy Blocks weren't as delicious as macarons and ice cream, their energy and texture suited for Pokémon placed them on par with macarons and ice cream in its heart.
[Delicious.]
Reshiram was also honest, expressing satisfaction with the Energy Blocks that Natsuhiko handed over.
"Reshiram, I have a question." Seeing Reshiram in a good mood, Natsuhiko took the opportunity to speak.
[Please ask.]
"The friend that accompanied me up here before, did he not qualify for recognition?"
Reshiram slightly pondered, hesitated a little, but finally said:
[He is quite good, with truth and ideals intertwined in his heart, but I think he is better suited to my brother, Zekrom.]
