Deoxys slowly formed a question mark above its head with its tentacles.
"Deoxys...(Did I do something to deserve this? Why is there Six top-tier powerhouses ganging up on me at once! It's unfair!)"
But Deoxys didn't remain passive. It immediately switched to Speed Form and swept toward higher altitude, attempting to create distance and reduce the number of enemies that could reach it effectively.
"Thunder!" John raised his hand dramatically.
"ZERA!" Zeraora roared in response.
Thanks to Lugia's Rain Dance, the storm clouds blanketing the entire sky suddenly erupted in brilliant light. Countless thunderbolts descended instantly, bombarding Deoxys directly.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Thunder's speed more than doubled in rainy conditions, especially when used by Zeraora under Electric Terrain's amplification.
Moreover, under John's training, Zeraora's Thunder was no longer a single bolt, but one hundred simultaneous strikes. The quantity wasn't the impressive part, it was that all hundred thunderbolts targeted the exact same location.
John had given this technique his own personal dramatic name, "Thunder Hell."
One hundred undiminished thunderbolts were just the beginning, ten thousand was the ultimate goal.
"Extreme Speed!"
Already in Speed Form, Deoxys had no choice but to use speed-boosting moves to dodge the brilliant white thunderbolts cascading from the entire sky.
It looked somewhat desperate but narrowly avoided the lightning bombardment.
However, John's assault was only beginning.
At the Spear Pillar, dozens of Greninja were simultaneously performing the same technique, forming spheres of energy.
They were creating "Ultimate Water Shuriken!"
Formation complete, aim acquired, fire!
Dozens of golden shuriken launched skyward like cruise missiles, streaking toward Deoxys.
The targeted Deoxys could sense the devastating energy contained within those golden shurikens. A direct hit would cause serious injury even if it didn't immediately end the battle.
The only advantage was that compared to Thunder, those moved much slower, and thus, Deoxys could easily avoid them.
'Does he really thing he can avoid them all?'
John's mouth curved into a slight smile.
What if he quadrupled the numbers? Or increased them tenfold?
After unleashing their first wave of Ultimate Water Shurikens, the Greninjas immediately began preparing the next bombardment.
Deoxys's pupils contracted sharply.
"Deoxys!(those clones needs to be eliminated first!)"
Deoxys immediately switched to Attack Form and initiated long-distance Teleport, attempting to strike the Greninja through spatial gaps.
However, this maneuver had been anticipated by a certain cunning "hunter" a second earlier.
"Spacial Rend!"
Mega Gardevoir's Future Sight had positioned the ultimate attack within the spatial crack, waiting for Deoxys.
SLASH!
A sharp tearing sound echoed across the island.
Deoxys was struck directly by Spacial Rend, half its body severed on impact as it was expelled from the spatial rift.
For any other Pokemon, this would mean immediate defeat, death or permanent disability.
But for Deoxys, this was merely a minor inconvenience.
Within a single breath, the severed half of Deoxys's body had completely regenerated.
"Recover," John murmured with recognition.
Ordinary Pokemon's Recover could only restore stamina, but Deoxys's Recover enabled complete limb regeneration.
This was its most terrifying ability.
Only one method existed to defeat Deoxys through battle: repeatedly destroying it until it lacked the energy to use Recover.
Given his previous knowledge of this Pokemon, John had already formulated the perfect strategy.
Mega Gardevoir's Spacial Rend wasn't the finishing blow either.
While Deoxys was using Recover, the primordial forms of Palkia and Dialga launched Sucker Punch attacks from both sides, each using their signature moves.
One deployed Roar of Time.
The other unleashed Spacial Rend.
From the front, Gengar's spectral titan used its massive hand like a sword, slashing downward as if the sky itself were falling.
Deoxys immediately switched to Speed Form again, preparing to dodge, but before it could move, a large purple face had somehow appeared behind it.
A massive tongue licked it from head to toe, sending chills throughout its body.
The intense paralysis made Deoxys feel completely paralized, while shadow-like tendrils had already wrapped around its body in binding knots.
Mega Gardevoir had teleported Mega Gengar behind Deoxys, enabling the Lick move and Shadow Sneak combination.
Evasion was no longer possible.
The slender Deoxys suddenly swelled, transforming into a thick, armored humanoid.
Defense Form.
Even legendary Pokemon from space couldn't withstand such a coordinated assault, right?
Speed Form Deoxys had normal attack and defense stats, Attack Form had extremely low defense, and Defense Form sacrificed speed accordingly.
These six Pokemon all possessed legendary-level combat power and were attacking relentlessly!
Therefore, it would become a complete sitting duck.
John took a deep breath and retrieved the Luxury Ball he'd prepared long ago.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Mega Gardevoir looked somewhat concerned, extending Future Sight while using Psychic to lock onto their target and deploying Trick Room to suppress any escape attempts.
After completing another self-healing cycle, Deoxys had completely exhausted its stamina, its eyes showing the telltale spirals of defeat.
In all fairness, switching to Defense Form was indeed the best decision Deoxys could make in this situation.
After all, it was only level 90 facing a level 91 team!
However, Deoxys's form changes came at the cost of sacrificing other attributes.
Being completely stuck in place, Deoxys was bombarded repeatedly, recovering again and again in a cycle that continued twenty consecutive times.
Lugia's Hyper Beam erupted from its mouth simultaneously.
Greninja's third wave of Ultimate Water Shurikens arrived in formation with the first two waves still airborne.
Suddenly, thunder struck again across the entire battlefield.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions raged across the sky, and the entire world trembled from the devastating assault.
"I'm counting on you, Luxury Ball!"
