Along with Axel's voice, Pheromosa's figure kept accelerating in midair.
One Agility… two Agilities…
Behind her, massive sonic booms kept forming. The extreme compression caused visible rings of clouds to appear in the air.
Endless afterimages made it impossible for Jarvis's naked eye to track Pheromosa's position.
"You people actually dare to ambush me?", Jarvis's voice carried fear, along with a trace of anger.
Ever since the Azoth Mechanism Kingdom had been established, he hadn't encountered anything like this in a long time!
Who didn't lose a few points of confidence when facing him?
Yet these people in front of him dared to ambush him.
He glared at Axel, "Do you know what material my defensive structure is made of?"
"This is technology approaching that of the gods, a complete replica of the material on Magearna's body."
"You're finished. All of you are finished!"
Axel let out a dismissive laugh. Forget a mere shield, even if Magearna herself were here, she probably wouldn't be able to block Pheromosa's attack.
"Don't waste words with him. Go all out, All-Out Pummeling!"
Axel snapped his fingers lightly, and multicolored light instantly burst out from Pheromosa's body.
Those lights coiled around her, twisting and reshaping, until they finally formed an enormous crimson giant fist.
BOOM!
With a roaring wind, the giant fist rapidly approached the spherical flying device where Jarvis was, and smashed down violently.
Driven by the airflow from that massive fist, the steel sphere was swept downward like a balloon, crashing toward the ground. Before the impact sound could even be heard, it was already crushed between the giant fist and the earth.
A thunderous explosion and a terrifying red mushroom cloud rose at the same time, nearly leaving both the Magnemite army and the newly arrived Mega Evolution army completely stunned.
When the dust settled, a bottomless crater had appeared on the ground. Meanwhile, those Mega Evolved Pokemon all felt as if some kind of restraint had vanished from their bodies, reverting to their normal forms one after another, looking around at their companions in confusion.
The princess blinked, the first to realize what had just happened.
Jarvis, the one who treated her brother as a puppet, the true power behind the entire kingdom, the man who had seemed untouchable, had actually just died like that?
["Y-you… you… you…",] Volcanion also stared blankly at Axel. Even his telepathy wasn't working properly anymore.
Why was it that something he had tried so many times and failed to accomplish had been done so effortlessly by Axel?
"Is it that difficult?", Axel grinned, not taking it seriously at all.
With a top-tier assassin Pokemon like Pheromosa, any trainer who dared to show themselves was just a sitting target.
"Clean things up. Let's go find Magearna directly. Also, check Jarvis's place and see where the main control core of this kingdom is."
Based on the experience Axel had gained from Colress, a country of this scale must have a massive control core.
As for that flying device, at most it was just a switch.
"Alright, let's go now!"
———
[Sinnoh Region, Mt. Coronet]
Under Necrozma's suppression, the situation here had improved significantly.
The red light caused by the space-time distortion was still spreading, but compared to before, its speed had slowed several times over.
Cynthia rubbed her brow in fatigue, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
"Lucian, have the berries been gathered?"
"They've all been collected," Lucian still held a notebook out of habit, though this time it wasn't notes on psychic powers, but a ledger filled with densely packed writing.
"I personally went to the League's warehouse. In total, I took out two million berries that can enhance Pokemon's physical qualities. They've already been sent to Ultra Space with Palkia's help."
"According to Diao Chan and White Leia over there, these berries should be enough to support the Pokemon in Ultra Space for half a month of training."
"Also, I've already contacted Alola. The Aether Foundation is giving full support and is purchasing berries in unlimited quantities across the four islands, so there's no need to worry about the cultivation of the Ultra Beasts anymore."
"And also…"
"And what?", Seeing Lucian stop midway, Cynthia couldn't help but ask.
"There's one more unexpected development. The Caitlin family and the Berlitz family contacted us today, saying they can provide a batch of relic treasures. Did you request support from Miss Caitlin?"
"Caitlin…", Hearing that name, Cynthia suddenly smiled.
'What support? That girl clearly got herself a boyfriend and forgot about her best friend.'
"Send those items to Ultra Space as well. Let the Pokemon there get familiar with fighting while holding relic items."
"Also, Aurient contacted me today. They said they want to provide a group of trainers to help train the Pokemon in Ultra Space."
"Hmm… training only, no capturing. Make sure you coordinate that properly with Ultra Space to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Understood," Lucian nodded, then couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect… Axel's friends to be spread all over the world without us even realizing it."
After Axel proposed strengthening Ultra Space, aside from Lance of Kanto, who was still busy dealing with Team Rocket, almost every other region had offered help.
That was the influence of a top-tier trainer.
"Alright, go handle it. I'm taking Dialga to help relieve Necrozma's pain," Cynthia said, waving him off.
Necrozma was still not at full strength. Absorbing light mixed with chaotic space-time placed a heavy burden on its body.
It needed Palkia or Dialga to help purify it. Since Palkia was acting as the channel connecting the Pokemon world and Ultra Space, the task naturally fell to Dialga.
But at that moment, a rumbling explosion suddenly rang out, and the ground shook violently.
A freezing aura spread up from underground, quickly sweeping across the base of Mt. Coronet. Even Necrozma, whose body was weakened after absorbing the light, began to form ice crystals.
On the back of a Mamoswine, Pryce wore a faint smile, looking arrogantly at Cynthia and Lucian.
"So this is Necrozma? Truly a remarkable Pokemon."
"But if it wants to resolve the crisis of the Pokemon world, it's still lacking…"
"Rather than relying on Axel's Pokemon, why not let me capture Dialga."
"Once I rescue my Lapras, I'll go capture Articuno and raise it until it can freeze this entire stretch of space-time and save the world from its crisis."
"Cynthia, what do you think?"
At the sight of Pryce, a trace of hostility flashed in Cynthia's eyes.
"Everyone else is busy saving the world, and you're still stirring up trouble from the sidelines?"
"And you say you'll save the world? Save that line for Leon and Axel. Let's see if they knock you down again."
"Garchomp, go!"
