Chapter 840 Giratina vs. Xerneas
Two divine forces, powerful enough to distort reality, silently confronted each other in mid-air. Giratina's shadow writhed like a living creature, each surge causing the space to groan under its strain; while Xerneas was surrounded by a rainbow of life, each ray containing the laws of budding and revival. The crystalline radiance on its antlers gently yet firmly resisted the intent of "destruction" and "end" that sought to devour everything.
“Xerneas…the god of life who protects the Carlos region…” The shadowy voice echoed in the distorted dimension, carrying a hint of amusement and a deeper chill, “Interesting. I didn’t expect that a mere nobody could gain the favor of a god. It seems that I can’t let you live any longer.”
Yang Ming gripped the scales on the back of the Roaring Moon tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force. He gazed at the elegant and sacred giant deer before him, and his tense mood finally relaxed.
You made the right bet!
Yang Ming had previously speculated that Arceus's tablets might be able to restore Xerneas's power to some extent, but he was unsure of the specific type of tablets, so he could only gamble based on his own understanding.
“Xerneas is an enemy of Yveltal, so the effective tablets for it should be among the three tablets: Fairy, Emerald, and Earth.”
Yang Ming couldn't be sure whether all three stone slabs were useful, or only one or two of them were effective.
Therefore, after obtaining the Emerald Stone Tablet, Yang Ming decisively gave the magical stone tablet that could amplify superpower attributes to Gadria, while keeping the Emerald Stone Tablet for himself.
In the end, his gamble paid off.
With Xerneas regaining some of his power, Yang Ming finally escaped danger. Now it remains to be seen whether Xerneas can defeat Giratina and escape unscathed with him.
"After Giratina, it's Xerneas..." Red Sun rode the raven's head, circling in the air. As the leader of Team Galactic, he was well-read and had a rough understanding of the legends of the Carlos region.
"Although we don't know what's so special about Kalos's God of Life, this battle has now become a fight between legendary Pokémon, and it's no longer appropriate for Team Galactic to get involved."
The crow flapped its wings and flew away with Crimson Sun in another direction. Anyway, there were plenty of unclaimed stone slabs, so there was no need for it to continue fighting Yang Ming to the death.
The standoff between the two legendary Pokémon continued. Giratina's shadow, like living ink, spread irregular patches of emptiness in the air, each surge accompanied by the subtle cracking of space, as if glass were bearing an invisible pressure. Xerneas stood tall, its massive body seemingly sculpted from the purest crystal and ancient wood, its body flowing with iridescent light, forming a soft yet exceptionally resilient barrier. The crystals on its antlers slowly rotated, each turn scattering specks of light dust. These specks, upon landing, sprouted fleeting buds and flower petals in the void, stubbornly resisting the surging aura of annihilation that symbolized the end.
Finally, Giratina made the first move. Its huge figure vanished instantly, followed by a powerful aura that suddenly appeared behind Xerneas, aiming to crush its head!
Shadow Strike!
As Giratina's signature move, once locked on, you can't escape with Teleport, let alone defend with Protect!
Faced with this attack that was impossible to defend against, Zerglia gave up on dodging and raised its golden horns to take Giratina's signature move head-on.
boom!
With a deafening roar, Zernia was knocked back, leaving four huge footprints on the ground. It was not good at close combat to begin with, and in the head-on fight, it was naturally defeated and forced to retreat.
However, it never left the ground.
Just then, the trainers who were still fighting over the stone tablets suddenly felt weak all over. Immediately afterwards, their Pokémon also began to feel powerless.
"what happened?"
"Oh no, the stone slab is about to fly away!"
Trainers who couldn't get the stone tablets let out cries of despair, but only the dark figure noticed something amiss.
Control the earth!
"No wonder you withstood Giratina's Shadow Assault so hard before, so that's what it was for?" the shadowy figure said sinisterly.
As the light of the earth's dominion quietly bloomed around Xerneas, a soft emerald halo spread across the ground. Countless tiny points of light, like awakened fireflies, emanated from the depths of the earth, from the air, and even from the trainers and Pokémon vying for the stone tablets, converging into a flowing river of light that silently poured into the halo beneath Xerneas's feet. Its body appeared even more crystalline in the light, the crystals on its antlers refracting a brilliance more dazzling than a rainbow, each breath seemingly pulsating with the life of the entire space.
The trainers and Pokémon whose power was drained only felt a brief weakness, but the stone tablets—those Arceus tablets scattered everywhere—were like shooting stars summoned by an invisible force, breaking free from the hands of their holders or the constraints of the battlefield, and turning into streaks of light that flew into the distance.
"hateful!"
Some powerful trainers, such as Apollo, a senior member of Team Rocket, had already taken off on flying Pokémon. Seeing the stone slabs flying away from Mount Coronet, they quickly rode their Pokémon in pursuit.
But Cynthia can't do that. As the Sinnoh Champion, protecting Sinnoh is her most important task, rather than fighting for the Slate. When she discovered that Sombra and Giratina had reappeared, she turned her attention to Sombra.
"Go help him!" Gadriya cried anxiously as she collapsed to the ground. Her foot, already injured, had reopened due to Giratina's pursuit. Seeing Yang Ming and the shadowy figure clashing again, she, unable to move, could only place her hopes on her best friend.
Cynthia nodded and jumped onto Garchomp's back.
Seeing that Xerneas's energy was growing stronger, the shadow decided to strike first.
"Garuda, use Dragon Dive!"
The shadowy Garchomp leaped into the air, its body transforming into a rocket as it hurtled straight toward Yang Ming.
If we can't defeat Xerneas, then we'll defeat the trainer.
As Garchomp charged through the air, several ice pillars suddenly flew from behind it, heading straight for Garchomp!
"Get out of the way!" The shadowy figure's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted.
Garchomp quickly turned around, dodging all the ice pillars, but a small Pokémon took the opportunity to attack from the side and sneak up on Garchomp.
It's Manuela!
"I haven't settled accounts with you properly for what you took from me before. Since you've shown yourself, then stay here," Chi Ri said coldly.
