Chapter 261: Suppression
Necrozma was about to use Moonlight to recover its strength, but Celebi immediately cast Heal Block, interrupting Necrozma's attempt to recover.
If it were at the beginning, Celebi's Heal Block wouldn't have been able to seal Necrozma's recovery at all, but now that it was weakened, Celebi's Heal Block successfully sealed Necrozma's recovery ability.
Necrozma withstood the attacks of many legendary Pokémon, and gradually it also felt a sense of powerlessness. Necrozma suddenly erupted, thousands of lasers bursting from its body with Prismatic Laser, instantly forcing the legendary Pokémon back.
At that moment, Necrozma instantly disintegrated, charging towards the group of Solgaleo.
"Not good! Stop it!" Ryan shouted upon seeing this.
Many legendary Pokémon also immediately attacked Necrozma, but after its previous fusion with Ryan's Solgaleo, Necrozma was clearly well-prepared this time. Light Screen successfully blocked most of the attacks. Simultaneously, Necrozma's triangular prism-shaped brain core pierced through the helmet and entered Solgaleo's third eye, its colorful energy emitting a light that could penetrate the helmet.
Solgaleo's aura instantly shifted; a roar sent the other Solgaleo flying. The fusion was complete!
The remaining black crystals covered Solgaleo's body, and it gradually transformed into its Radiant Sun phase, completing the final fusion process. Dusk Mane Necrozma form complete!
Necrozma's massive hands and forearms were attached to Solgaleo's shoulders, becoming its forelimbs; the protruding crystals on the backs of its hands, upper arms, and feet recombined into slender tentacles that attached to Solgaleo's cheeks;
its elbows were attached to Solgaleo's tail as tail spikes; each thigh was split in half from the middle and attached to the sides of Solgaleo's forelimbs; its back, along with the rear parts of its shoulders, formed a larger V-shaped crystal that attached to Solgaleo's back; two protrusions on its shoulders were attached to the backs of Solgaleo's forelimbs;
its chest, when expanded, covered Solgaleo's third eye, becoming a mask; its massive tail split into two parts, attaching to Solgaleo's shoulders, capable of emitting invisible light to increase forward propulsion; and the spikes on its tail embedded themselves in Solgaleo's chin, becoming whiskers; the remaining parts were split into 12 claws, embedded in each toe of Solgaleo's four limbs.
Having fused with Solgaleo to become Dusk Mane Necrozma, its aura suddenly surged. With a roar, endless laser beams shot out in all directions with Photon Geyser!
The pressure on the legendary Pokémon increased dramatically, but Yveltal and Darkrai, thanks to their Dark-type attributes, managed to withstand a massive amount of the laser beams. As soon as Necrozma's laser beams subsided, Yveltal instantly vanished into the shadows with Phantom Force, while Darkrai unleashed a barrage of Dark Void at Necrozma.
Xerneas and Ho-Oh quickly began healing their injured Pokémon. Ho-Oh could no longer use Sacred Fire to revive its Pokémon, having spent too much time in Ultra Space and not yet fully recovered, so it could only use healing moves, but even that wouldn't last long.
Xerneas was in no better shape; its essence was severely depleted, and it collapsed, powerless.
Ryan had also consulted the system, but even the system was powerless against legendary Pokémon of the Creator God level. However, Ryan suddenly thought of something: Popularity Points!
"System, can I use Popularity Points to restore Xerneas's original essence?" Ryan asked.
"The exchange ratio is severely unbalanced; we do not recommend the host to do so."
"Just deduct the Popularity Points! Exchange them for me!" Ryan roared.
Then, Ryan placed his hands directly on Xerneas's body, and strange power flowed from Ryan's body into Xerneas's. However, Ryan felt a pang of pain as he watched the rapidly depleting Popularity Points.
Xerneas slowly opened its eyes, and a surge of life energy swept across the entire battlefield. Its slightly proud voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through telepathy: "It's been a long time since I've felt this sense of being filled with life force. Ryan, you truly amaze me! I, Xerneas, acknowledge you as my trainer! Now, it's my turn!"
Xerneas stood up, its antlers and body shining brightly. Xerneas took light steps, lowered its head, and unleashed a Giga Impact towards Necrozma.
Necrozma fired laser beams again with Prismatic Laser, aiming at Xerneas. Xerneas swung its antlers, deflecting all the laser beams, and the Giga Impact sent Necrozma flying!
"How could you, weakened to this state, possibly be my match!" Xerneas declared proudly.
Necrozma had just regained its footing in mid-air when Yveltal emerged from the shadows, Oblivion Wing striking Necrozma once more, successfully weakening it significantly!
"Now! Everyone, launch a full-scale attack!" Ryan shouted.
All the Pokémon unleashed their strongest attacks at Necrozma, blasting it backward repeatedly. Unable to recover, facing the overwhelming onslaught, it felt utterly powerless and let out a defiant roar!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!" A series of explosions rang out, blasting Necrozma away. Even Solgaleo couldn't maintain the fusion, shattering apart!
Just then, a beam of light shot out from above Megalo Tower. The light shone on the shattered Necrozma, and the black crystals gradually coalesced, forming a triangular prism. This prism then rose and pierced the top of Megalo Tower.
Soliera, riding a Lunala, flew over and bowed sincerely, saying, "Thank you all for your help. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to suppress Necrozma so easily."
With Necrozma suppressed, many of the legendary Pokémon collapsed from exhaustion. Facing such a being, they had fought and defended with all their might. If it weren't for Megalo Tower's weakening effect, they wouldn't have been a match for Necrozma. Now that Necrozma was suppressed, they could finally rest.
Ryan extended his hand to Soliera, saying, "No need to thank me. I never said I was helping you for free. There are some things I hope you can help us with."
"What things?" Soliera asked, looking at Ryan's face. For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
