[A/N: It was my fault yesterday for not explaining clearly. The two of them were inside the Great Platinum Orb. They showed up before, but it's been too long, so that's on me for being dumb. It's clarified now. Thanks for understanding.]
[Inside the Ultra Megalopolis Tower]
Reshiram took advantage of Necrozma being beaten down by the big shots on the team and arrogantly stepped on its face.
["Necrozma, be sensible, okay!"]
["Let my Lord take you in. That's your dawn."]
["If you refuse to see my Lord, the Ultra Wormhole will drag you into endless night!"]
["Submit to my Lord, and only then can you gain eternal life and true freedom!"]
Beside it, Glastrier looked just as proud, condensing countless long swords of ice that hovered over Necrozma's head like a storm of blades returning to their master.
Off to the side, Zekrom helplessly held up Rotom, finding the right angle to snap photos of the dragon and the horse.
But when he realized Axel, Gardevoir, Pheromosa, and Rayquaza in the sky were also in the frame, he immediately got to work.
Eight handsome shots per second. Not a single one repeated.
As for Kyurem, he was completely dumbfounded.
He also wanted to turn into a bootlicking dragon, but in front of those two, he didn't even have the slightest chance to jump in.
Necrozma: "..."
Even with its mind in total chaos, it knew it was being used as a background prop for showing off.
'The problem is, you two didn't even do much!'
'That last kick from Pheromosa hurt way more. What are you even posing for?'
Feeling like its reputation in its later years was ruined, Necrozma's eyes twitched a few times. It was so angry it couldn't even get a word out before letting out a muffled grunt and collapsing to the ground.
"Nicely done."
Axel grinned. He didn't expect those two show-offs to have this kind of effect. It saved him the trouble.
He threw the Ultra Ball Lusamine had prepared in advance, tossing it high toward Necrozma.
The next moment, the Poké Ball hit Necrozma square on the forehead and pulled it inside.
A small burst like fireworks popped.
Necrozma was successfully captured.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
After looking over Necrozma's updated stats, Axel clicked his tongue.
Compared to its Radiant form, this guy was honestly pretty weak now.
Because of the overdraft of its power, it wasn't even as strong as when he had just entered the tower.
Axel felt that with Necrozma's current strength and its almost useless brain, Reshiram might finally be able to shake off the title of weakest divine beast on the team.
"Necrozma, come out!"
Axel tossed the Poké Ball, planning to see what state Necrozma was in after being captured.
Necrozma immediately let out a roar and, using the little stamina it had just recovered, charged straight at Reshiram, looking like it was about to start another fight.
Seriously? That petty?
Reshiram refused to back down. It shot a glance at Zekrom and charged at Necrozma without hesitation.
Zekrom blinked, ["My Lord, I report that the white dragon is trying to drag me into internal conflict."]
Reshiram: "??"
'You bastard!'
Kyurem: (⊙_⊙)?
'Damn it! No wonder I can't compete with you two!'
Axel knew Necrozma's emotions were unstable right now, but that was normal.
Necrozma had been insane for countless years. Only by obtaining enough light could it break free from this twisted state.
Before returning with Volcanion to that mechanical kingdom, they could only rely on a bit of stick education for now.
It was also a good chance to establish Pheromosa's position. Axel had only realized this problem in the past few days.
As an Ultra Beast and the strongest single-target attacker on the team, Pheromosa's presence was still too low because of her social anxiety trait.
Especially now that they had the Ultra Wormhole as a base, she needed to get used to an elevated position.
As one of the two starter Pokémon, she deserved that treatment.
"Pheromosa, Gardevoir, calm them down."
"Yoo~!"
"Garde!"
Two clear cries rang out one after another. Pheromosa, still stacked with multiple buffs and not yet restored to her original typing, flashed into the air above Necrozma.
Two swift kicks.
Both Necrozma and Reshiram were forced back step by step.
At the same time, Gardevoir released her psychic power, covering Necrozma's body.
But right after, her brows furrowed.
["Master... Necrozma isn't trying to get revenge on Reshiram. The light in its body has completely vanished."]
["That Radiant form just now was too much of a burden. It almost consumed power down to its life source."]
["It lunged at Reshiram because there's firelight on its body."]
"That serious?", Axel froze. He didn't expect that short time in Radiant form to put such a heavy load on Necrozma.
This was far more serious than what happened to the little shark back then. If he didn't replenish the loss immediately, it might suffer a drop in potential just like the little shark did.
At that point... a Champion-level Necrozma?
And this guy was a top-tier god. Restoring him would definitely be even harder than restoring Kyogre.
Thinking of the terrifying resource cost, Axel wished he could instantly cook up a glowing dish right now.
The problem was, this place was too barren, and he had never made one before.
Just as Axel was worrying about how to help Necrozma recover, a "roar" suddenly sounded.
Eternatus carried Ho-Oh and appeared in front of Necrozma, stretching out its claws to hold Necrozma tight and give it no room to move.
Ho-Oh seized the chance and landed steadily on Necrozma's forehead.
The next moment, gentle flames wrapped around both Ho-Oh and Necrozma. Necrozma's painful howls vanished at once, replaced by a comfortable low hum.
Axel's eyes lit up. How could he forget this?
Ho-Oh was a top-tier healer. It could even hatch souls.
After absorbing its sacred light, Necrozma would not only recover its injuries but would also suppress the pain in its mind.
Two birds with one stone.
"Ho-Oh, amazing!", Axel praised without holding back. Ho-Oh immediately raised its head and lightly patted its chest with its wings, signaling to leave it to her.
"roar!"
Eternatus shifted into its small dragon form and perched on Ho-Oh's head, proudly calling out as well.
'Impressive, right? That's my mom!'
Even after watching for so long, Axel still wasn't quite used to seeing Eternatus like this.
Who would have thought that a regional calamity would be raised into this by Ho-Oh?
He could only laugh helplessly and nod, "Amazing, amazing. You're both the best."
At that moment, roars from the twin gods of Sun and Moon suddenly came from outside.
"Savior?", Axel's mouth twitched. He had no idea how he ended up with that title again.
Still, hiding here wasn't a solution. His parents were outside.
"Everyone, return to your Poké Balls. I'll take Necrozma along with Gardevoir and Pheromosa to check on what's happening outside."
"Hey, little shark, I'm talking about you. Stop eating and get back in your ball first!"
"Did you forget? I brought you here today to fight!"
