"It's not time yet." Zekrom said.
Thundurus: "If that's the case, I'll just take it myself."
At this moment, with every word from the Legendary Pokémon, N and Xaka found themselves speechless beside them.
The two watched in disbelief as they centered on the human, Fang Yuan, unable to comprehend who this guy was and where he came from.
To have simultaneously received the recognition of Zekrom, Reshiram, and Ho-Oh??
"The very thing that Plasma Team has been pursuing, it's actually..."
N looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief; Kuiqisi had always wanted him to become the Legendary Hero and then overturn Unova, but in reality, Reshiram did not acknowledge them at all. However, this young man... had simultaneously won the approval of both the Black and White Dragon.
And what he was doing now...
Protecting Castelia City from being destroyed by Thundurus.
"Who is he?" N was eager to know who Fang Yuan was, for him to gain the simultaneous recognition of the ideologically different Black and White Dragon.
A reincarnation of a sage?
How immense must his charismatic charm be?
Perhaps, it was Fang Yuan standing before him, whom he should take as a role model.
"What, do you want to solve this with a battle? If it could be resolved with a fight, nothing could be better. But Thundurus, how about we change the battleground?" Fang Yuan looked straight at Thundurus.
As long as they didn't fight in Castelia City, he wouldn't have to worry. He knew a hundred ways to defeat this creature.
As Fang Yuan spoke, he also launched a sneak attack. A golden circle appeared out of nowhere under Thundurus's feet, expanding continuously. Little Hoopa tried to ambush Thundurus, attempting to transport it to Base Island where Groudon and the others were.
However, with a "click," a mist of cold air enveloped Thundurus's body, and the golden circle was directly frozen, then vanished. Little Hoopa's power wasn't enough; Thundurus didn't give it the chance for a sneak attack transport.
"Roar!!!!!" Thundurus let out another roar, speaking ferociously.
"Interesting, as the so-called hero, do you intend to protect the lives in this city?"
"If that is so, let's see it in battle. I will not leave. If you can defeat me, while protecting everything, I will acknowledge you as the Legendary Hero. Otherwise, all life here will perish."
Thundurus still looked at everything with a ferocious gaze.
It sneered at Black and White Dragon's method of choosing the Legendary Hero, feeling instead that it was the actual hero itself, soon to be the hero that will fill its missing body with truth and ideals!
To Fang Yuan, it showed extreme disdain.
Fang Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold.
This guy was completely unreasonable.
How was it possible to fight within the city and still protect everything?
This was a Legendary Level battle after all.
Unless Ho-Oh was to resurrect them collectively afterwards, but Ho-Oh wasn't a Divine Dragon from Dragon Ball, capable of resurrecting the dead and wounded on a large scale.
At this moment, Zekrom and Reshiram also stood silently beside Fang Yuan, seeming helpless and even unable to take action this time.
Their natural counters were Thundurus, and right now it seemed Thundurus also controlled the Wedge of Gene. If they weren't careful, they could be devoured, absorbed, and then a fully evolved Thundurus would be a headache even for primal Groudon.
However, merging with it might restore some of Thundurus's sanity. But now was not the time for gambling.
Ho-Oh also silently watched Thundurus.
Whether it was them fighting Thundurus or calling Groudon, Kyogre, and the others to battle, the damage caused could only be imagined.
As soon as a battle occurred, the city would be destroyed.
"Thundurus..." Beside him, N and Xaka were also helpless; this dragon was as ferocious as legends described.
...
...
"It seems you have encountered trouble."
As Fang Yuan and Thundurus faced each other in an impasse, suddenly, Mind Induction reached Fang Yuan's heart.
Upon hearing this voice, Fang Yuan felt a surge of relief.
"Mewtwo!"
"You've come at the right time. Do you have a way to transport this guy away?"
"No."
"Its Frost Power has become able to freeze time and space. Hoopa and Celebi are no different. Unless you can transport it in a surprise during battle, that's the only way it might work."
Fang Yuan fell silent.
Then he said earnestly:
"However, if it were you now, you should be able to ensure that the outside world is not damaged at all during battle, right?"
On another note, Mewtwo fell silent for a long time, then said, "Yes."
Fang Yuan took a breath and felt reassured again.
After all, it was Mewtwo.
Born at Legendary Level.
Perfectly inheriting humans and Dream's learning and adaptability, it had grown to High Legendary Level in less than a year, able to hold its own against Legendary Pokémon such as Groudon, Kyogre, and as such.
Now, it seemed they could fight side by side once again.
Outside.
Fang Yuan slightly adjusted his hat brim, showing a smile for the first time since arriving at Castelia City as he looked at Thundurus.
"If that's the case, then let's fight."
"Your opponent is it."
As Fang Yuan finished speaking,
N and Xaka were shocked, and Zekrom, Reshiram, and Ho-Oh all suddenly turned to Fang Yuan.
Was Fang Yuan giving up on Castelia City?
However, as Eevee climbed back onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, a proud Pokémon of equal height to humans and with a silvery-grey body, gradually emerged into reality from illusion before everyone's eyes. Ho-Oh, the Black and White Dragon, as well as N and Xaka, were all taken aback.
Ho-Oh did have an impression of Mewtwo; it had discerned Mewtwo's presence beside Fang Yuan back at Azure Mountain. In the Orange Archipelago, Mewtwo had isolated all battle Wave Motion, protecting the outside world; this Psychic Type creature possessed formidable strength, a mysterious connection with Dream, and was enigmatic beyond measure.
