The high-tech island city was already close at hand. The towering Battle Tower stood at the southern edge of the city, like a guard quietly watching over it.
Right now was the city's emergency evacuation mode: tens of thousands of Block Bots had built a wide evacuation conveyor belt, densely packed with LaRousse City citizens.
The evacuation process was orderly and spectacular.
But the beautiful scenery wasn't just human technology, but also the ostentation from life—
Even in broad daylight, the sky above the city still shone with bizarre yet beautiful purplish-red auroras. That was Deoxys's question calling out to its companion.
"Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you..."
But its call received no response, after all, the other one was still maintaining the form of a meteorite.
Deoxys was very distressed. Since that was the case... I can only do this!
The aurora was instantly dispelled. The Pokémon standing on the towering skyscraper created countless physical clones, densely filling the sky above LaRousse City, simply like a swarm of locusts passing through.
And those clones were doing nothing else but hunting the humans and Pokémon evacuating LaRousse City!
—Because Deoxys perceives things through certain electromagnetic waves, living creatures with life activities and operating equipment would interfere with its vision. So whether it was paralyzing the city's power system or capturing humans to gather them together, the purpose was only to clear the obstacles in its field of vision, without any malice.
As long as I gather the annoying guys together, I can see this area clearly, and then I can find my companion, that's what it thought.
But in order not to cause panic among the fleeing citizens, Lorze couldn't sit idly by—if he couldn't calm the emotions of the masses, the original small losses could snowball into an irreversible disaster.
"Sis Gardevoir!" "Sou~"
The black-skirted queen, who had stepped into LaRousse City at some unknown time, raised both hands, and surging Fairy power flowed from her fingertips and was released—
A burst of dazzling, intense light flashed. The clones capturing humans were all killed in an instant. The one who took action was exactly the majestic and beautiful black-skirted queen, Gardevoir—Dazzling Gleam!
And the screaming, falling people landed smoothly on the ground with the assistance of telekinesis, unharmed.
"Rustle—"
Flipping down from Latias's back, Lorze left everyone with the back view of a black cloak and a reassuring, reliable voice.
"Leave quickly, follow the main group to a safe place outside the city. Leave this place to me."
The rescued people stared blankly at that back view. His voice wasn't deep, but it possessed an unquestionable determination.
This Trainer has an aura... like Steven's?
No, it wasn't Steven's aura, but an aura common to Champions—the courage and responsibility to step forward and protect others in times of crisis!
And, a powerful calmness and confidence.
Actually, at the very beginning, Lorze didn't have such a strong aura of "not a Champion, but better than a Champion". At most, he could only be considered a formidable Trainer, and he still acted quite laid-back.
But under the subtle influence of Steven as a role model, his behavior and thought patterns became more and more like a Champion. Coupled with his handsome appearance, as long as he got serious, he had that aura completely locked down.
While commanding his Pokémon to defeat the alien clones that were like a passing locust swarm, Lorze thought about how to break the deadlock. Little did he know that the act of defeating the clones had humiliated and enraged Deoxys...
The key to resolving the city's crisis lay in that unawakened Deoxys. As long as he could wake it up and communicate with this one, the predicament would be easily solved.
At that time, he would also ask it about Jirachi, hoping it could help.
And in the current timeline, Ash and the others should... still be in LaRousse City's greenhouse garden!
Having determined the crux of the problem, the solution was also clear—find Ash and the others first.
Just as Lorze planned to go deep into the city, the little catgirl on his shoulder and Braixen beside him suddenly twitched their cat and fox ears alertly.
Meowstic leaped into the air, and Braixen took a half-step forward and pulled out the wand on her tail. They both shielded Lorze and used their moves together to intercept the sneak-attacking Shadow Ball in mid-air!
"Boom—"
The dust and smoke from the explosion cleared. The humanoid Pokémon standing on the streetlamp in front of them...
Isn't that Deoxys!?
Dun dun don!
However, upon seeing the main body, the glaring pink female symbol marked by the system above Deoxys's head made Lorze unable to walk.
The originally powerful aura instantly filtered into the charm of a strong, independent woman. I see this alien still has some allure left!
Lorze's eyes scanned from top to bottom, especially lingering for a long time on the places that should have been a human woman's breasts, vulva, and buttocks.
There indeed was a vulvar structure, but tits and a butt... were completely non-existent!
He was dissatisfied.
Clearly able to reorganize the body's cells yet not paying attention to these areas, sure enough, Deoxys is an alien who doesn't understand Earthling aesthetics.
As mentioned before, Deoxys uses a certain wave to perceive things. Although it wasn't identical to human vision, Lorze's appearance was still clearly "seen" by her.
Deoxys felt nothing towards this face. In her eyes, all humans looked pretty much the same.
But even if she didn't understand, the young man's filthy gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over. Coupled with his previous behavior of taking out her clones, she was completely enraged!
Since you don't want to stay put obediently... then don't blame me for being impolite!
Lorze was completely oblivious to the approaching danger, because he was already completely looking at Deoxys as a woman.
The instant Lorze was about to speak, Deoxys reorganized her cells and switched to the angry Attack Form, crossed her four arms in front of her chest without a word—the powerful recoil sent the alien flying backward, leaving Lorze with a surging telekinetic wave!
"Boom!"
Latias, Gardevoir, Meowstic, and Braixen simultaneously propped up a Protect barrier, barely defending against Deoxys's attack.
Although the destructive power of the Attack Form was unquestionable, it exposed the weaknesses of Deoxys's body.
Mega Mewtwo Y seized the opportunity to unleash powerful pink-purple energy fluctuations, shattering the lunging clones while venting it all onto Deoxys's body—Success!
Or was it?
The aftershock of the attack dissipated. Deoxys had impressively changed into the flat-bodied Defense Form, solidly taking Mewtwo's strongest strike.
Even though many wounds appeared on her body, the cells regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, recovering to their original state in almost the blink of an eye!
After that, her cells changed again. Deoxys transformed into a graceful and slender appearance, having more of a feminine flavor.
This time her speed was like an afterimage. That graceful posture in the air made Lorze gulp.
Deoxys's skin texture looks different from humans. I really want to try the feeling of having sex with an alien.
Mainly...
The Speed Form Deoxys was indeed quite beautiful, and the Attack Form was even more elegant.
Anyway, as long as it's not the Defense Form, anything goes!
Mewtwo realized she actually couldn't keep up with her speed and had to passively defend.
But she still noticed some clues: Huh? Speed Form... the attack power seems very average?
Looking at Deoxys's body again, the vital parts were protected. She wasn't holding nothing back in a full-on attack like the Attack Form, nor was she like a turtle like the Defense Form. The combat ability of the Speed Form seemed to be somewhere in between, very mediocre.
Mewtwo smacked her lips: This guy is really tough to deal with...
Helpless, she could only pull back and regroup with Lorze and the others first.
Deoxys didn't pursue. She seemed to also be observing her opponents: These guys... aren't weaker than that big silly dragon, but to defeat me, it's not enough.
"This guy is integrated in offense and defense, what should we do?"
"Deoxys is indeed tough to deal with. Not only is she powerful herself, but we can't ignore all these clones either. But I think since she's a creature with intelligence, as long as we can communicate with her, things should be much simpler."
"But in her current state, we simply can't communicate."
"Then let's create the conditions to communicate, for example... lure her proactively to me!"
Hearing this, Meowstic and Braixen immediately grabbed Lorze's arms, their furry paws transmitting their body heat, as well as their worry.
"No way meow, that would be very dangerous for Lorze meow!" "What silly things is Zako saying!?"
Mega Gardevoir and Mega Latias on the other side seemed to hold the opposite opinion.
"However... if it's Big Brother Lorze, it might really be possible." "Mhm... I also believe in Big Brother Lorze!"
Finally, they all looked at Mewtwo together. The power of decision was now in the hands of the Big Sister.
Take a risk or go step by step?
"I leave the command to you, Lorze, tell us what to do."
"Alright! Sis Gardevoir and Braixen, please use Dazzling Gleam to stop Deoxys's clones. Big Sister Mewtwo and Latias, go put pressure on Deoxys."
"Lorze, there's also Kitty meow!"
Tugging the little catgirl's large ears, Lorze placed a light kiss on her cheek.
"Do you remember the tactic we used against Rayquaza before?"
"C-Could it be meow?"
Lorze smiled and nodded: "How about it?"
"Meowstic can definitely do it meow!"
"Alright! Then everyone... let the operation begin!"
Gardevoir lifted her long dress with both hands and elegantly took a step forward. Braixen also pulled out the other branch on her tail—the wand overflowing with Xerneas's Fairy power!
Like setting off continuous fireworks during the day, Dazzling Gleam was used to process the clones over a large area, simply like a lawnmower.
Latias and Mewtwo were the fastest; only they could catch up to Deoxys's speed.
A pink-purple energy ball condensed from the dragon sister's mouth, fired with a bang, and exploded at Deoxys's feet, generating thick, feather-like mist!
Deoxys, having changed back to her Attack Form, clashed beams with Latias and Mega Mewtwo Y simultaneously with nothing to fear, only to shockingly discover she actually couldn't overpower them!?
It was exactly because of the effect of Latias's Mist Ball, lowering Deoxys's Special Attack!
Helpless, Deoxys could only switch to Speed Form for a strategic retreat, but two azure energy balls hit her body like shadows—Aura Spheres that could track the enemy!
Even though Fighting was resisted by Psychic, Deoxys's body was simply too fragile. Even an attack like this transmitted real pain to her senses.
The cooperation of the two sisters was very tacit. The Attack Form was restricted, and the Speed Form couldn't dodge the attacks. Deoxys could only switch to Defense Form.
And this turtling made Mewtwo and Latias's attacks even more vigorous, raining down like a storm!
The fierce offensive made Deoxys a bit confused: Clearly there are only two opponents, but the attacks feel like they're coming from all directions. What exactly is...
Deoxys curled up. She couldn't even find an opportunity to transform into her Speed Form to break through the encirclement. If she dispelled her Defense Form now, she would probably be beaten into a sieve in an instant.
She was waiting for an opportunity: Her opponents' stamina was limited, but her clones were endless.
I can only wait for the clones to deplete their energy... But she shockingly discovered that the clones were dissipating at a terrifying speed.
After all, they were just clones. Even a slight injury would make them dissipate. AoE moves like Dazzling Gleam and Heat Wave were simply anti-swarm Noble Phantasms.
Deoxys couldn't understand: Why is their cooperation so tacit, even able to suppress me?
Could it be... that human?
No... even so, they can't possibly break through this human wave tactic. My cell regeneration speed is far beyond their imagination. Hmph...
Even though the advantage was clearly hers, Deoxys still felt an indescribable weirdness, as if a knife was already at her neck.
Why exactly is this?
As if confirming that ominous premonition, Deoxys suddenly realized that the area she was in... seemed a bit off!
Strange, why is a surge of power inexplicably welling up within my body?
Because this was what Lorze and Meowstic did—using the other Pokémon to delay Deoxys, and setting up Psychic Terrain in this area!
Crying out Oh no in her heart, Deoxys immediately ordered her clones to stay away from this area, but it was too late.
"Expanding Force!"
Under Psychic Terrain, Expanding Force not only increased in power, but could also equally attack every single enemy!
The dense swarm of clones was purged in an instant. Deoxys seemed to hear the sound of "drip, drop"—that was her heart bleeding.
The sky above LaRousse City became empty again, and Deoxys also became reckless, throwing caution to the wind.
You used Psychic Terrain to wipe out my clones, I will also use Psychic Terrain to defeat you!
The key to breaking the deadlock was that human. As long as she could take him down... she could regain the initiative!
Mewtwo and Latias's fierce offensive struck again, but this time Deoxys completely abandoned her defensive posture.
—As long as they don't completely destroy my body, I can regenerate. This little injury won't kill me.
Covered in cuts and bruises from the attacks, Deoxys ignored the rotting flesh and blood, endured the pain, transformed into her Speed Form, and charged towards Lorze at an uncatchable speed!
The wounds on her body were closing. As Lorze's figure grew closer, her cells reorganized again, transforming into Attack Form.
Deoxys's signature move: Psycho Boost!
And this Psycho Boost was also even more powerful under the boost of the Psychic Terrain. Lorze could almost feel the fierce gale pasting onto his face...
Deoxys rejoiced in her heart: Got him!
But the next second, the young man's body flickered like a phantom and disappeared!?
No, this wasn't disappearing. Deoxys immediately judged that this was the move Teleport, but it was too late.
At that time, Lorze, just like Minato's famous scene against the mysterious masked man, used Teleport to arrive on Deoxys's back. But in his hand wasn't a Rasengan, but a fireball—the fire manipulation obtained by having sex with Braixen!
Relying on the enhancement of telekinesis by the Psychic Terrain, Lorze's control over the fireball could be even more exquisite. Compressing the energy within it could amplify its power!
"Ho ho~ This is the Flying Thunder God, Level 2!"
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, Deoxys's Psycho Boost had no hit-box behind her, so it couldn't hurt Lorze in the slightest. Therefore, Lorze's attack... completely hit her weak spot, a critical hit!
Even until she was heavily punched to the ground by Lorze, Deoxys, as an entire Pokémon, was still in a state of bewilderment.
Defeated? She, who could freely change between Attack, Speed, and Defense forms... was actually defeated by a human!?
The back area was indeed blasted into a large hole by the fireball. The scorching flames burned Deoxys's cells, causing her immense pain.
But an injury of this degree wasn't fatal to her. One must know that back then, her entire body was blasted to nothing by that big silly dragon, and didn't she recover just the same?
But Lorze didn't want to give Deoxys a chance. He hugged the Speed Form Deoxys tightly from behind, and in a terrible posture, plummeted with her into the greenbelt of LaRousse City!
