Thundurus!
At this moment, Thundurus's state is clearly somewhat abnormal.
Its eyes are red, and the anger is evident.
Its gaze locked onto all the Pokémon present, these Pokémon wantonly destroying its territory have become the targets for venting its anger.
The sudden appearance of Thundurus was unexpected for both Hunter S and Natsuhiko.
Hunter S, already at a disadvantage, has almost confirmed Natsuhiko's identity through Snorlax and Bewear.
He shouted, "N! We need to join forces and strive to awaken Thundurus with Meloetta, or I'll be the cautionary tale."
His expression was earnest, putting away the previous disdain and arrogance.
But the flickering light deep in his eyes indicated that these words were not entirely sincere.
"Thunder——!!"
Thundurus didn't give them any time to discuss.
Terrifying blue electricity burst from Thundurus, a powerful current swept toward all the Pokémon.
Hunter S did not receive a response from Natsuhiko, Nidoking took advantage of Beedrill and others' brief distraction due to Thundurus's appearance, broke free from the encirclement, and arrived in front of Hunter S.
The current sweeping past was completely absorbed by Nidoking.
As a Ground-type Pokémon, Nidoking would normally be immune to the damage from Electric-type Techniques.
But Thundurus's Electric-type Techniques are not comparable to ordinary Electric-type Pokémon's techniques.
While Nidoking absorbed the current, it also inevitably took some damage.
The injuries on its body resulted from this.
On the other side.
Hydreigon's actions seemed far fiercer than Nidoking's.
Its "Dragon Tail" swung, the terrifying power aboard it sweeping Alola Muk off the ground.
The already unwell Alola Muk bore the brunt of the attack from Thundurus's "Discharge."
"Roar——!!"
An angry roar.
Hydreigon defiantly roared at Thundurus.
Its eyes tightly fixed on Thundurus, then its body gradually retreated to Natsuhiko's side.
Natsuhiko: "..."
You're truly exemplifying the saying "talk big, act small" to the fullest.
"Roar?"
Hydreigon glanced at Natsuhiko during the pause.
Although Natsuhiko couldn't fully understand Hydreigon's words for the time being, the meaning in its eyes was evident.
Get reinforcement quickly!
At least, bring out that big sister.
Natsuhiko pursed his lips and said nothing.
Meloetta had already curled up in his arms.
Actually, Meloetta could control Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus to some extent, especially with the "Revealing Mirror" item.
But Thundurus's current state was abnormal, and Meloetta was timid, so simply standing there trying to restore Thundurus's consciousness was certainly not viable.
Moreover.
Given Thundurus's personality, even if awakened, it might not be much better than now.
"We must get closer..." Natsuhiko murmured.
Then his gaze shifted.
It landed on Hunter S hiding behind Nidoking.
If he wanted to focus on dealing with Thundurus, he must first take care of this guy.
Otherwise, even if Nidoking is seriously injured, any trick he pulls from behind could still affect the battle situation.
Someone who attacked me on the first encounter, even if he does possess some power that could slightly counter Thundurus, Natsuhiko dared not trust him even a bit.
Even if he genuinely intended to cooperate with me to resist Thundurus, if he ran away, it would certainly be a troublesome matter.
Moreover, from understanding some previous actions of his, Natsuhiko knew this man merely appeared arrogant, but wasn't reckless.
It's very possible he has cooperation with multiple forces, among which Tom Rokicki's presence couldn't be excluded.
At least.
According to Natsuhiko, Hunter O stationed at Feiyun City had already interacted with Tom Rokicki's people.
That's why Natsuhiko had no intention of heading to Feiyun City.
The most important point.
Natsuhiko's identity was already recognized by him.
"Take care of him!"
Natsuhiko patted Hydreigon's neck.
Hydreigon turned to look at Hunter S.
And showed its fangs.
Frightened of confronting Thundurus, dealing with a human with grievously injured Pokémon should be simple.
Hydreigon flapped its wings, swiftly pouncing towards Hunter S.
Hunter S understood Natsuhiko's intention, his heart sank as his greatest fear came true; Natsuhiko was determined to take him down!
Seeing the rapidly advancing Hydreigon, he knew escape wasn't possible.
His heart was full of frustration.
If he hadn't first encountered Thundurus, leading to most of his Pokémon being severely injured, this Hydreigon, though it appeared strong, wouldn't pose any real threat to him.
Now.....
After handing Hunter S to Hydreigon, Natsuhiko's attention fully focused on Thundurus.
"Divine Beast..."
This was his first time facing a Divine Beast directly, a Divine Beast truly holding a Divine Position.
Though not as terrifying as Groudon and Rayquaza, it wasn't comparable to the Zapdos previously captured by Tom Rokicki in Goldenrod City.
"Dragapult, can you handle it?"
"Baluya?" The newly appearing Dragapult looked at him as if he were a fool.
Can it handle it?
This kind of question actually came up.
Better ask how long it can withstand.
Natsuhiko jumped onto Dragapult's back, collecting Infernape and the other little guys, then released Oranguru and the others.
Infernape and the others had reached Gym Leader Level, but they couldn't provide much help.
Oranguru and others could at least offer some assistance.
"Thunder!"
Thundurus's attention fell on Dragapult.
Among the Pokémon present.
Apart from the non-combative Meloetta, the only one making it feel slightly threatened.
Of course, feeling threatened doesn't mean much.
Dragapult had felt threatened by Hydreigon too, has it ever regarded Hydreigon?
Fizzing——
The terrifying lightning struck.
Dragapult, carrying Natsuhiko, suddenly disappeared.
"Melo?" The Meloetta in Natsuhiko's arms slowly raised its head, seemingly sensing something, and curiously looked around.
How come here seems like...
"Melo!!"
The first time Meloetta exclaimed, mouth agape, pointing at the surrounding world, seemingly completely reversed.
The Destroyed World!
How did it go from Thundurus's territory to Giratina's realm?
Though it was somewhat afraid of the enraged Thundurus, Giratina's realm wasn't merely fear.
At least Thundurus can still hear its singing, Giratina, this boss, well...
Natsuhiko briefly caught his breath.
Looking unexpectedly at the calm and composed Dragapult.
It seemed Dragapult noticed Natsuhiko's gaze, slightly tilting its head.
It's not only those little guys making progress.
"You've truly grasped a bit of the knack."
Though the time wasn't long, Dragapult quickly took them away.
But just by using this ability, they evaded Thundurus's first wave of rampant lightning.
Thundurus similarly looked surprised at Dragapult reappearing and closing in on it.
Giratina felt the ripple in its realm.
Almost immediately, it arrived at the location where Dragapult had appeared earlier.
Watching the gleaming spatial ripple and lingering aura.
Blinked twice.
Wasn't it the guy who hacked my account last time?
How did he really succeed in hacking?
