—------------------—
Boom!
Lugia's Aeroblast heavily struck Zekrom.
With a loud boom, Zekrom's massive body crashed to the ground; it had been shot down.
The giant 'Sea God' spread its wings in the air, its emotionless eyes looking down at Zekrom on the ground.
Zekrom was already severely injured; it had taken a considerable amount of damage fighting Lance, who was going all out.
Not to mention, after Lugia joined the battle, Zekrom was now almost completely incapacitated.
"You actually controlled a Lugia? Lance, is this really right?"
N frowned, looking at Lugia in the air, and asked Lance in a deep voice.
He could perceive the emotions and thoughts of Pokémon; this was his innate ability.
But he couldn't sense any emotions from this Lugia, only confusion, an incredibly thick confusion.
Clearly, this Lugia's state was not right.
"If you truly care about Pokémon, you shouldn't do something like this."
N didn't understand. He felt that Lance was someone who deeply loved Pokémon, but why would such a person want to use external force to control a legendary Pokémon?
N didn't understand.
"Is victory… that important? To go to such lengths to defeat Team Rockets."
"I know, I know this isn't right." A complex expression flashed across Lance's stern face.
This proud dragon master looked up at Lugia in the air. That was the legendary large bird Pokémon he had summoned on Sootopolis City using eight Gym Badges.
After being filled with the energy of the eight Gym Badges, Lugia was also controlled by Lance.
Lance, of course, knew that using such an inglorious, even despicable, method to control Lugia was a very wrong thing to do.
Because of this, he actually didn't acknowledge Lugia as his Pokémon.
In Champion Giovanni's Champion challenge, he also didn't use Lugia, because Lugia was merely an external force to him.
One could even say that Lance didn't want to use Lugia to fight at all.
"But, N, I want to understand Team Rockets." Lance looked back at N, his voice low.
"?"
"You said that the reborn Team Rockets is working for the beauty and happiness of the world, but is that really true?"
Lance said lightly.
"?" N's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Do you know? Actually, I really like the current Team Rockets' style of action." Lance looked into the distance, where even from this position, the intensity of the battle could be felt.
The fierce dragon roars and growls indicated the power of the Pokémon fighting there.
"Those pieces of trash who harm Pokémon and nature, those maggots devoured by profit and desire, those beasts who disregard ethics, morals, and laws—in my opinion, they all deserve to die!"
Lance's eyes under his blood-red hair were chillingly cold.
That's right, Lance, who loathed evil, thought exactly that. That's why he detested the former Team Rockets, precisely because of the evil deeds Team Rockets had committed, especially those inhumane genetic experiments.
Therefore, Lance fiercely targeted and eliminated Team Rockets, and because he was too heavy-handed, he was repeatedly criticized by those council members with ulterior motives using this as an excuse.
However, Lance never thought of changing.
Because in his philosophy, trash should be cleaned up.
Humanitarianism? There's no need to talk about humanitarianism with beasts and maggots!
N was silent.
"The Alliance is too gentle and too weak. I am realizing this more and more clearly."
Lance's tone remained calm, utterly unruffled.
"So?" N suddenly reacted.
"This battle is one that will rewrite the world's pattern. If Team Rockets can defeat the Alliance, Team Rockets will completely control the management and sanctioning power of the underworld and the criminal world."
Lance glanced at N. Team Rockets' handling of villains was far more resolute and ruthless than the Alliance's.
But this was exactly what Lance liked!
"I want to personally verify this point: does Team Rockets… have this qualification?"
If it does, Team Rockets would be his best destination!
So even though forcibly controlling Lugia was not his wish, he still did it, because he needed Lugia's power to verify this point.
Afterward, he would apologize to Lugia.
"Your Zekrom is already very seriously injured. You are not my opponent."
Lance left this sentence lightly and slowly turned around, walking towards the battlefield over there.
Such intense sunlight was undoubtedly caused by Giovanni's Primal Groudon.
And among Team Rockets, only Mammon had the ability to make Giovanni use Primal Groudon to fight.
So Lance also prepared to rush over for this final battle.
"…" N pursed his lips, looking at the heavily injured Zekrom without speaking.
He was indeed no match for Lance; Lance's strength was truly too great. During his time in Kanto, he had indeed properly trained his main Pokémon.
Otherwise, N would probably have lost even faster, and Lance might not even have needed to use Lugia to defeat him.
If it were the old N, N's main Pokémon would not have been able to cause any trouble for Lance's main Pokémon at all.
"I didn't expect Lance to have such thoughts."
N sighed and walked to Zekrom's side.
"This human is really amazing."
Zekrom's low, weak telepathy echoed in N's ear.
Zekrom could clearly feel that the human's ideals just now were no less than N's, equally firm, pure, and profound.
If he hadn't met N first, Zekrom felt that this human named Lance would also be a very perfect hero of ideals.
Of course, the most perfect one was definitely Mammon.
Hmm, without any personal dragon feelings, Zekrom would guarantee it with Reshiram's dragon honor.
"Hmm, Lance is indeed better than me." N felt quite ashamed; even with Zekrom, he couldn't defeat Lance.
"No, N, you misunderstood my meaning." Zekrom's dragon eyes looked at N strangely.
"Hmm?" N was puzzled.
"My meaning is, this human, with a Lugia, wants to challenge Mammon. He is truly too courageous~!"
Zekrom exclaimed from the bottom of its heart, deeply shaken by it.
That's too awesome!
"…" N's mouth twitched.
"Zekrom, have you been spending too much time with Mew recently?"
N was a little worried. He remembered that Zekrom used to be very honest, but now it was even making such jokes.
"Not at all. I've been with Zamazenta recently. I have a lot in common with it."
Zekrom directly denied it. That shut-in Mew, Zekrom didn't want to be associated with it.
"That's good." N breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he had a prejudice against Mew.
Well, actually, he did a little, because he once happened to encounter Mew on patrol and then heard it 'cursing' Hoopa.
The amount of swearing in its words was astonishingly high!
It made N's head buzz!
He really hadn't expected that the legendary Mythical Pokémon Mew would be like that… So he absolutely didn't want his Zekrom to get too close to Mew, otherwise he was afraid Zekrom would be led astray by Mew.
"Use a small sacred ash, N, otherwise I probably won't be able to continue fighting for a short time."
After N sprayed it with a Hyper Potion, Zekrom recovered a little, stood up, and looked into the distance with its dragon eyes.
"Okay."
N didn't hesitate upon hearing this and took out a bottle of small sacred ash from his backpack.
The effect of ordinary Hyper Potions on Zekrom was indeed not very good. After all, with Zekrom's physique, such a serious injury would definitely not recover in a short time.
But small sacred ash was different!
"Did Mammon make a move? Zekrom."
N sprayed Zekrom with small sacred ash and asked Zekrom. He also guessed that this intense sunlight weather was caused by Giovanni's Primal Groudon.
"No, it wasn't. Mammon is still in the building. The one fighting Primal Groudon… is Dialga."
Zekrom's telepathy was a bit strange. What was even stranger to it was why Dialga would come out to fight Primal Groudon.
After all, Dialga's identity was truly very special. Logically speaking, it would not interfere in human conflicts, and no one could make it interfere.
Oh, Mammon might be able to, after all, Mammon was a special case.
"Dialga?" N was very surprised.
"Hmm, so it's very strange. Let's go over there too."
The small sacred ash had already started to take effect, and Zekrom's condition was improving. It used its claws to lift N and flew towards the battlefield.
Moreover, Lance was also on his way. With Lance's Champion-level combat power plus Giovanni, they were very, very strong!
So Team Rockets still needed them!
At this moment, the battles in various parts of Saffron City had gradually subsided, especially on the Alliance's side. A large number of police officers and Trainers began to withdraw from the battlefield.
This was the order officer Jenny had given earlier.
After all, almost all of the Alliance's Champion-level Pokémon had been annihilated. What was the use of the remaining combat personnel staying on the battlefield?
And now, the only battle still ongoing was in Sector 4.
Sector 4.
"Roar!!"
Primal Groudon roared, its entire body glowing intensely red, its giant claws raised and then heavily slammed onto the ground.
Precipice Blades!
In the air, Dialga also shimmered with diamond-like blue divine light, its scales spreading open, accumulating dreamlike energy in its mouth.
Roar of Time!
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently, and gigantic magma swords, overflowing with hot breath, rose from the ground, frantically spreading towards Dialga.
The Precipice Blades grew thicker and larger, becoming a magma giant sword tens of meters in size by the time it reached Dialga.
The beam of Roar of Time shot out, directly hitting the thickest Precipice Blades.
Boom!
An ear-shattering collision reverberated, as Precipice Blades and Roar of Time fiercely clashed, powerful air currents and shockwaves spreading out.
After a brief stalemate, the two attacks exploded, and the immense air currents and energy pushed Dialga back, while Primal Groudon, standing firm on the ground, remained unaffected.
"Is Dialga not as good as Primal Groudon?" Alder's expression brightened.
In the clash of moves just now, Dialga clearly suffered a disadvantage.
"Probably so. As expected of the ancient Pokémon said to have created the land." Leon exclaimed in admiration.
"Without the Adamant Orb, it cannot enter Origin Forme. Dialga cannot display its true power."
Akari's exquisite pretty face had her eyes slightly narrowed.
Akari wasn't particularly surprised that Dialga's moves couldn't match Primal Groudon's.
After all, Dialga was missing its most important divine tool; it was in an incomplete state, while Groudon was in its true full power form.
"But Dialga can still manage to stall Primal Groudon."
Akari confirmed this point. Although it would be very difficult to have Dialga defeat Primal Groudon.
But as long as it could stall Primal Groudon, that was enough!
Because the only battle still ongoing in this battlefield had already attracted many people.
Akari took out a Poké Ball and released another Ursaluna, recalling Hisuian Arcanine and Hisuian Samurott.
These two main Pokémon were quite injured from their battle with Leon, and Hisuian Arcanine was quadruple weak to Ground-type, while Hisuian Samurott's Water-type moves were completely unusable under the intense sunlight.
There was no need for them to fight now.
"What? Akari, are you going to formally fight Grandpa?"
Giovanni noticed Akari's Ursaluna, and the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards.
"Ah~ After all, I still really want to defeat you, Grandpa. As for Dialga and Primal Groudon, let them play by themselves. What do you think?"
Akari showed a beautiful smile, her big eyes curved, very cute.
"Oh? It's not Grandpa trying to discourage you." Giovanni chuckled: "In your current state, you are not my opponent."
"Hmm Indeed, several of my main Pokémon have no combat power after fighting Leon, but"
Akari tilted her head, her smile growing wider.
"Grandpa, you are currently surrounded, you know~"
Giovanni raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, turned to look behind him, and couldn't help but be speechless.
Selene, Karen, Zinnia, Hilda, Drayton, Kieran, Gloria, Peony, Ash—a total of nine people had completely blocked his retreat.
"Holy crap! They're planning to gang up on Champion Giovanni!"
Alder's eyes widened, looking at Giovanni, who was alone and attacked from both sides.
This was the script they had originally prepared for Mammon! How did it turn into ganging up on Giovanni?
Giovanni!
Alder looked at Giovanni at this moment, almost in tears. Champion Giovanni, you're suffering too much!
"Giovanni…"
Leon gritted his teeth, secretly annoyed at his failure again. If he hadn't been defeated, he could at least be standing by Giovanni's side now.
"So that's it, I'm the one trapped in a cage? In that case…"
And at this moment, Giovanni squinted his eyes, scanned these people, and couldn't help but smile.
He elegantly adjusted his collar, took out the hand he had been keeping in his pocket, and threw out several Poké Balls.
Beedrill, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Rhyperior, and Dugtrio appeared.
"Beedrill, Mega Evolution!"
The last pillar of the Alliance—Kanto Champion. Full Power Giovanni! Has arrived!
