Directly beating Dialga and Palkia into complete disarray.
However, because the attacker wasn't their true master Arceus, after being thoroughly thrashed, Dialga and Palkia only grew more furious!
Both Pokemon erupted at this moment, deploying their signature ultimate moves.
"Roar of Time!"
"Spatial Rend!"
Dialga's chest burst with blinding white light. The diamond on its body's light shifted as energy from all eight directions converged into its mouth.
ROAR!!
The blinding shockwave nearly connected heaven and earth. Wherever it passed, time stopped!
Palkia forcefully lifted countless pink stars, extending its hand forward to slash out a brilliant white cutting strike!
Wherever the slash passed, space shattered and crumbled!
In that instant, one temporal, two spatial, these tremendously powerful techniques seemed unstoppable by anyone.
Mega Gardevoir floated silently mid-air. Regarding Dialga and Palkia's attacks, she had prepared long ago.
A Spatial Gate blocked before Dialga's Roar of Time. Although the surrounding space fell into temporal stasis, temporal force still surged forward, passing through spatial force to strike Palkia's body.
Indeed, the Spatial Gate's other end opened behind Palkia. Wrapped in temporal force, it had no way to detect the attack.
Simultaneously, a Temporal Gate appeared before Spatial Rend. The shattered space from Spatial Rend fell right through the portal, it would reappear several minutes later.
Dialga was the God of Time, Future Sight proved ineffective against it. But its Future Sight was equally ineffective against Mega Gardevoir, whose crown granted power rivaling Top-tier Legendary Pokemon.
Both sides fought on nearly equal standing.
Using time to counter space. Using space to counter time.
Like the tactics just demonstrated.
This was Mega Gardevoir's battle strategy for this match.
Therefore, Mega Gardevoir wielded Roar of Time in her right hand, Spatial Rend in her left. The Queen's Crown atop its head gleamed with dazzling stellar light, temporal and spatial forces fully empowering its being!
Roar of Time bombarded Palkia, dragging space into time's torrent!
Spatial Rend slashed toward Dialga, using shattered space to interrupt temporal stagnation!
In that instant, Dialga and Palkia, who'd prepared to "make the big play" using their signature skills, consecutively took each other's two ultimate techniques to the face.
Cyrus, controller of these two Legendary Pokemon, felt completely dumbfounded seeing this scene.
"…Impossible. A mere Gardevoir… suppressing two primordial gods? And using their own opposing forces against them… This reality is flawed."
Cyrus felt as though he'd lived too long and encountered a ghost.
However, unlike Archie and Maxie, Cyrus absolutely didn't blindly trust Legendary Pokemon's power. Seeing Dialga and Palkia falling into disadvantage, he hurriedly deployed his own Pokemon to assist.
Pokeballs opened. Hisuian Zoroark entered the field.
Its white fur carried traces of pale pink. Dancing through wind and snow, it appeared both handsome and enchanting.
No matter how many times, John always felt Hisuian Zoroark's appearance was incredibly beautiful.
Stomping forward before Crobat, Weavile, and Mega Houndoom, Hisuian Zoroark raised its claws and struck the ground.
"Shadow Sneak!"
Dark energy spread. Within a single breath, countless black arms erupted from the three Pokemon's shadows, seizing their limbs and wings completely. No matter how they struggled to escape, these surrounding arms remained motionless like steel-reinforced concrete.
With the Spooky Plate's assistance, John had trained Hisuian Zoroark extensively. Its combat power increased extremely rapidly, level also reaching maximum 100.
If the opponent were Giratina, John wouldn't mind letting Hisuian Zoroark fight a round.
Having bound opponents with Shadow Sneak, Hisuian Zoroark slowly advanced. Both claws emanated cold deathly dark radiance.
"Shadow Claw!"
Its footsteps continuously flickered. Hisuian Zoroark's form constantly blinked across Spear Pillar.
Three Hisuian Zoroark phantom images immediately appeared mid-air, followed by three flashes of sharp light.
The Shadow Sneak arms vanished. Crobat, Weavile, and Mega Houndoom collapsed in response.
Hisuian Zoroark's side finished battle very quickly.
On the other side, Mega Gardevoir also began preparing to send one of the Twin Gods ahead!
Ultimately, Mega Gardevoir decided to send off Dialga first.
Both hands gestured upward toward the sky.
A massive hand pierced through time and space, carrying irresistible tremendous force as it seized Dialga.
Gently, just like that, it squeezed.
CRACK.
The sound of something fundamental breaking echoed across Spear Pillar. Not Dialga's body, but the temporal authority itself being crushed within Gardevoir's grip.
Dialga's eyes widened in genuine terror for the first time in its existence.
This wasn't just defeat in battle.
This was a Queen systematically dismantling a god's very essence.
ROOOAR!!!
Dialga screamed in defiance, struggling against the grip, but Mega Gardevoir's hold tightened inexorably.
"Your time," Gardevoir's telepathic voice resonated with cold finality, "has ended."
The massive hand squeezed fully closed.
Dialga's roar cut off abruptly as it lost consciousness, the God of Time rendered powerless by the Queen of Time and Space.
[System Notification: Dialga has fainted.]
