"What… what was that?"
Moments ago, everyone had thought they were dead for sure.
Yet in the blink of an eye—
a group appeared in the sky above Sootopolis City—
and with just a single Glaceon—
froze the very tsunami they had failed to stop even together.
What kind of power was that?
Even Glacia stared upward, her beautiful eyes wide and unblinking.
"Little brother… you're really full of surprises."
"I'm getting more and more interested in you."
Chen Shi chuckled.
"No need to thank me, Auntie. As a proud League citizen, it's my duty."
Then he immediately nudged Jirachi and whispered:
"Quick, let's go back!"
Without hesitation—
Jirachi teleported them back to the secret realm entrance.
Glacia froze.
Then her expression darkened.
"Auntie…?"
"Do I look that old to you?!"
…
"Holy crap, Old Chen—your Eevee is that strong?!"
Steven Stone stared at the now "ordinary" Eevee in disbelief.
He simply couldn't process it.
Freezing an entire sea—
with a thought?!
"And that Pokémon in your arms is terrifying too," Caitlin added, eyeing Jirachi warily.
One teleport—
and it carried all of them across an entire ocean.
Earlier—
it had shielded them from the shockwaves of two gods clashing.
Chen Shi raised an eyebrow.
"What strong Eevee? I don't know what you're talking about."
"It's just a normal Eevee."
Everyone: "..."
Steven rolled his eyes.
"Do you think we're idiots?"
A normal Eevee?
Right.
Totally normal.
Cynthia merely glanced at Chen Shi and said nothing.
She already understood—
if he didn't want to explain—
asking was useless.
Chen Shi shrugged.
"Believe it or not."
"It's just a normal Eevee."
To him—
Jirachi being exposed was fine.
But Mew?
Absolutely not.
Mew was far too special.
If certain organizations found out—
like Team Rocket—
his life would become a nightmare.
Danger wasn't the issue.
Trouble was.
And Chen Shi hated trouble.
He still planned to go home and relax after all this was over.
…
Soon—
everyone's attention returned to the battlefield.
Groudon and Kyogre had been fighting for quite some time.
Yet—
there was still no sign of fatigue.
"…How long are they going to keep this up?" Steven muttered.
"If my Metagross went in… it'd probably get one-shot."
Lance sighed.
"…Terrifying."
Chen Shi glanced at them—
then suddenly said:
"It's coming."
"Coming? What's coming?" everyone asked in confusion.
They followed his gaze.
And saw—
after another massive clash—
both Legendary Pokémon paused.
Then—
light exploded from their bodies.
Blinding.
Overwhelming.
"Primal Reversion," Chen Shi said, eyes gleaming.
"The real battle… starts now."
Steven shouted with his eyes shut:
"Old Chen, what's Primal Reversion?!"
"You'll see."
And then—
the light faded.
Both Pokémon—
had changed.
Ancient patterns glowed across their bodies.
Their presence—
became even more overwhelming.
"ROOOAR!!"
"ROOOAR!!"
Their roars echoed like thunder—
shaking the heavens.
Then—
the sky itself split.
On one side—
endless rain poured down—
like a collapsing galaxy.
On the other—
blazing sunlight scorched the air—
warping space with heat.
Two extremes—
perfectly divided.
Rain.
And drought.
Coexisting.
A sight beyond belief.
"…What… is this?" Lance whispered, stunned.
Chen Shi smiled faintly.
"I told you before."
"That was just a warm-up."
"This…"
"…is the real fight."
"If we don't stop them—"
"the disaster from a thousand years ago…"
"…will happen again."
Everyone's expressions changed.
That was not something they could allow.
Without hesitation—
Cynthia smacked Chen Shi on the back.
"Then stop talking and DO something!"
"Are you seriously going to just watch this escalate?!"
"Got it!"
Chen Shi grinned—
and pulled out a green orb.
As psychic power flowed into it—
he looked at the small Pokémon clinging to his neck.
"Little V—your turn."
"Don't mess this up."
Victini tilted its head, confused.
High above—
within the ozone layer—
Rayquaza slowly opened its eyes.
