"How… how is this possible? How did the Sinnoh Pokémon League discover our headquarters?!"
Inside the collapsing command hall, Charon stared in disbelief as Cynthia stepped through the shattered entrance.
Behind her stood League elites and multiple officers led by Officer Jenny.
Despair twisted across Charon's face.
Within a single day—
All three commanders captured.
Every regional base uprooted.
And now even headquarters had fallen.
Recalling Cyrus's trust in him, and the classified data stored within the facility, Charon roared hysterically.
"I will never let you take me alive!"
He hurled a Poké Ball.
A red flash burst forth.
Magnezone materialized.
"Magnezone! Use Explosion!"
If the base had to fall—
Then everything would be buried with it.
Data.
Personnel.
The League intruders.
All annihilated.
But seasoned League operatives had long prepared for suicide tactics from criminal syndicates.
Magnezone glowed—
And nothing happened.
"W-What?!"
Charon's pupils shrank.
Officer Jenny smirked faintly.
"We anticipated that. Swampert's Damp ability has you covered."
Beside her, Swampert flexed its fins calmly.
At that exact moment, Cynthia's Garchomp unleashed Dragon Pulse.
The blast struck Magnezone head-on.
One hit.
Knocked out.
With the Explosion sealed, the headquarters fell swiftly.
Charon was captured alive.
Thus—
Team Galactic, once dominant across Sinnoh, was effectively destroyed.
Only one man remained unaccounted for.
Far away, a cold-eyed man with short blue hair clenched his jaw.
Cyrus.
"So… the League has chosen war."
He gazed at the orb in his hand.
The Lustrous Orb.
Years of planning had finally borne fruit.
He had acquired the key to summoning the Spatial Deity.
Before him stood a statue.
Light pulsed.
Space trembled.
A rift tore open.
From the distortion emerged a white-and-purple dragon.
Palkia.
Cyrus's lips curled faintly.
"Palkia. Lend me your power. Together we will obtain the Adamant Orb… and erase Dialga."
For a moment, the Spatial Pokémon's gaze flickered.
The resonance of the Lustrous Orb…
And its ancient rivalry with Dialga…
Palkia inclined its head slightly.
Cyrus's eyes burned with ambition.
"Then our first destination… the Sinnoh League Headquarters."
Meanwhile, Aiden had already arrived at Lake Acuity.
The final lake.
The final guardian.
Using his psychic perception, he sensed the presence slumbering beneath the water.
He released Azelf and Mesprit.
At once, the lake surface rippled.
A small figure rose gently into the air.
Uxie.
"Ding! Uxie's current attributes are as follows—"
Pokémon: Uxie
Divinity: Being of Knowledge
Level: 75
Ability: Levitate

Created by Arceus, Uxie had once gifted knowledge to humanity, guiding civilization's evolution.
Now, awakened by its companions' call, it floated before Aiden.
Azelf and Mesprit explained everything.
The threats.
Team Galactic.
Their choice to follow him.
Uxie listened quietly.
Then it turned its golden eyes toward Aiden.
"So… you are the one they have chosen."
Aiden smiled calmly.
"I promised to protect them."
Uxie hovered closer.
"In that case… let us not complicate matters."
Psychic energy surged.
A blank Luxury Ball was drawn from Aiden's belt by telekinesis.
Without resistance—
Uxie entered it voluntarily.
Click.
The ball trembled once.
Then stilled.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. Uxie has been captured."
At this moment—
The three Lake Guardians were complete.
Azelf.
Mesprit.
Uxie.
Simultaneously, the system notification resounded.
"Ding! Mission condition fulfilled."
"Reward issued: Griseous Orb."
A dark, platinum-hued gem materialized in Aiden's hand.
The Griseous Orb.
The key to the Reverse World.
Aiden's eyes gleamed.
Soon—
Giratina would answer his call.
And when that happened—
Sinnoh's three dragons would no longer remain myths.
