Colress's excited expression gradually faded, and he rested his chin in contemplation.
After a while, he finally spoke again.
"...Okay!"
There was determination in his voice.
He was a genius, a true genius, and if he couldn't figure it out, he didn't believe anyone else in the world could.
He was the only one capable of reaching this stage!
Ghetsis gave Colress a deep look.
Despite his reluctance to believe, this mad scientist, this fanatical scientist, had indeed turned what Ghetsis considered mere boasting into reality, more than once.
One could say.
The achievements of Plasma Team today are largely due to Colress's efforts.
"Lord Ghetsis! Ice... ice..."
At this moment, a Plasma Team member hurriedly rushed in.
Ghetsis's face became stern as he tapped his cane against the ground.
"Why panic? Speak slowly!"
"Yes!"
The person took a couple of deep breaths until his breathing calmed before speaking again:
"Lord Ghetsis, more than half of the ship's propellers have been frozen. If we stay here any longer, the ship risks crashing."
Ghetsis: "..."
Even at this height, it can freeze over?
Kyurem's capability is simply terrifying.
"Colress." Ghetsis turned to Colress.
Colress nonchalantly nodded.
"We've gathered enough data, there's no need for us to stubbornly continue."
With over seven hundred attempts, a genius like Colress had long collected sufficient experimental data to improve his controller.
But capturing Kyurem today was impossible.
Thus, Ghetsis waved his hand.
"Deploy Genesect, let's prepare to retreat!"
"Yes!"
It was about time.
Kyurem caused such a commotion that even if the United Alliance didn't want to pay attention, they'd find it hard to ignore.
It's likely some Elite Four are already down there, ready for action, so Plasma Team should retreat.
As for the leaked data from P2 Laboratory and the capture of cadre Ann Jiee, Ghetsis didn't consider them important.
If necessary, they could tear face with the United Alliance.
This would allow Plasma Team to lay low for a while.
When they reappear next time, their target would not only be Kyurem but also the Twin Dragons!
It's time for N, who was meticulously prepared, to be used.
Colress seemed to see through Ghetsis's thoughts and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Lord Ghetsis. When we return, I'll improve the ship so that next time we encounter Kyurem, its ice capability will become the ship's power source!"
"Very good!"
Ghetsis was very pleased with Colress's abilities.
...
...
The sky was clear and azure.
Lance couldn't help rubbing his arms and complained, "Clearly a dragon, yet it possesses such powerful ice energy..."
Calmly sitting on Reshiram's back, Natsuhiko glanced at him.
A dragon using ice power is outrageous?
You're probably unaware of what happens when a dragon combines with the Fairy Attribute.
But looking at the seemingly frozen world below the clouds, Natsuhiko couldn't help but remark.
"Kyurem is truly filled with anger."
Holding Dragonite, Lance looked at Natsuhiko with a hint of "resentment."
The white shield released by Reshiram not only isolated them from the cold air seeping up from below but also blocked the turbulent airflow during flight.
How could there be such a considerate Divine Beast?
Between the two, only Lance's cloak flapped loudly in the cold wind.
Victini clung tightly to the silver collar on Reshiram's neck; in fact, this action made it look more like a Dragon Knight than Natsuhiko.
Its curious big eyes kept blinking.
This was Victini's first departure from Aindoak in a thousand years, and the scene before its eyes was vastly different from what it had seen a millennium ago.
Reshiram remained composed.
It gently flapped its wings.
Surpassing Dragonite.
Dragonite's massive body and short wings flapped vigorously, glancing somewhat helplessly and subtly at Reshiram beside it, which continuously emitted a terrifying aura.
Really?
You are bullying me because my wings are small?
Suddenly.
Natsuhiko and Reshiram's expressions simultaneously became serious.
They looked down upon the earth, where in this ice-covered world, a loud and angry dragon roar pierced the sky.
Layer upon layer of rippling waves dissipated as swirling air currents spun above the "Giant Cave."
Instantly, the clear weather around them was replaced by pitch-black clouds.
"Kyurem."
"Giant Cave" direction.
Reshiram nodded.
Without waiting for Dragonite, it began flying at full speed, flames spewing from its tail, and swiftly headed downward.
...
Giant Cave.
Boom!!!
Amidst the glacier layer, a huge bright white beam shot out and slammed hard onto Kyurem.
"Roar—!!"
In the midst of the angry roar, the azure ice beam swept across, once again layering the already frozen world with thick ice crystals.
In the dust.
A fiery red disc equipped with a cannon flew out, dodging the attack.
After staggering onto the ground.
It transformed into the shape of Genesect.
Behind it, a shiny silver cartridge was inserted into the slot in its harness, and just now, the "High-Tech Light Cannon's" dense Steel Energy all came from this source.
However, the cartridge was now emitting wisps of black smoke.
This was the best proof of overuse and imminent discard.
Moreover, Genesect was covered in scars.
Even though it had a metallic body, there were clear signs of frostbite visible.
Kyurem's ice energy could completely freeze even metal.
Huff—Huff—
Genesect panted heavily.
Suddenly.
It paused.
It looked to the sky, its eyes sparking with hope.
It felt its companions approaching.
Immediately, it transmitted its command signal.
And the four Genesects following Natsuhiko also received the signal.
They transformed and were about to rush down for support.
But Natsuhiko extended his hand to stop them.
The Genesects seemed a bit confused.
One side belonged to the stern former leader, the other to the gentle temporary leader, this...
But Natsuhiko solemnly said:
"Your leader is definitely still under control, so don't be influenced. The way to help it is to first take it down."
The Genesects understood.
Of course.
Back in the P2 Laboratory, they were in the same situation.
Thus.
Thud, thud, thud, thud—
Four metallic sounds hit the ground.
The fire-red Geno Genesect felt very satisfied.
His subordinates were obedient, and together, they would surely make Kyurem acknowledge the terror of the "Strongest Hunter."
Buzz—
But then.
Four cannons aimed at him, energies of four colors filled the tubes.
Leader Genesect: "What are you doing?! Committing rebellion? The enemy is over there."
Friendly Genesect: "The leader is being controlled, brothers, don't listen to it, blast it!"
Boom—!!
