Gundam!! A Romance for Men!
Lucas may not be able to pilot a Gundam, but he has his own Mega Gundam!
Looking at the translucent Zygarde image floating in the air, Lucas could feel his breathing become heavier with excitement!
"I'm really the Mega Lucky King!"
"O Zygarde! Hahaha~!!!!"
"System, acquire Zygarde!"
Lucas licked his dry lips, suppressed his surging emotions, and commanded the system.
"Acquisition successful."
A dark purple Master Ball appeared in Lucas' hands.
Lucas couldn't hide his excitement as he looked at the Master Ball—Zygarde was inside!
He wanted to release Zygarde immediately, but after glancing around his store, he decided it would be best to go somewhere open.
The Western Suburbs
Lucas arrived at the designated location.
"Come out, Zygarde!"
Taking a deep breath, he threw the Master Ball.
The Poké Ball opened, flashing a brilliant white light, followed by a deep green glow that almost lit up the night sky!
Lucas stared in awe as a swirling tornado of green light rapidly ascended, nearly reaching the heavens.
A terrifying divine aura spread across the area, making the air feel heavy.
Lucas subconsciously clutched his chest—his breathing grew labored, and he felt immense pressure.
It was the oppressive presence of a top-tier Pokémon!
Suddenly, a faint light shimmered around Lucas, and the crushing weight lifted—the system's absolute protection.
But while Lucas was spared, other creatures were not as fortunate.
Oddish, Raticate, Butterfree, and Hoppip all scattered in panic.
Even the instincts of the creatures told them—an overwhelmingly powerful existence had appeared!
Far away, a Gyarados Totem hid deep within the lake, unwilling to surface.
Even Manaphy, a Mythical Pokémon, buried itself in Lucas' arms, while Diancie gazed at the green light with a solemn expression.
With a low, majestic dragon roar, the green tornado shattered, revealing an incomparably large white Pokémon with a faint green glow.
Zygarde: Complete Form!
"Zygarde… Just how big is it?"
Lucas' eyes gleamed with excitement. According to the official Pokédex, Zygarde's complete form was listed at 4.5 meters tall.
But this Zygarde? Lucas estimated it visually—it had to be at least fifteen meters!
"Holy crap, this size is insane... And—"
"It's a Shiny Zygarde!"
Lucas eagerly studied the Pokémon before him. Zygarde had five known forms:
Cell Form
Core Form
10% Dog Form
50% Serpent Form
And finally, its towering Complete Form!
Normally, Zygarde's colors were green and black. However, the one before Lucas was white and green!
It resembled a towering giant, its base color a pristine snow white. Two massive claws, a 'giant mouth' on its chest (currently closed), two pairs of streamer-like wings hanging naturally, and an enormous tail.
Majestic and domineering!
Even just standing there, its sheer presence was overwhelming!
Zygarde's massive form slowly lowered its head, locking eyes with Lucas. The weight of its gaze sent shivers through Manaphy and Diancie.
But Zygarde made no move to attack. Instead, it descended gently.
BOOM!
Upon landing, the ground trembled violently under its sheer mass.
And then…
"Is it you? My Trainer?"
A telepathic voice suddenly echoed in Lucas' mind.
However, upon hearing it, Lucas' expression grew slightly strange.
How could he describe this telepathy? It was weirdly amusing—just like Zygarde's voice in the Kalos anime...
Even its way of speaking was identical, referring to itself with an unusual "I."
For such a mighty, dominant Pokémon to have such an odd speech pattern—it was pretty comical.
But Lucas pushed the thought aside. Who cared about a funny voice? As long as it was strong, that's what mattered!
"That's right. My name is Lucas. I look forward to working with you, Zygarde."
Zygarde stared at Lucas for a moment, then spoke again.
"Lucas? I don't dislike you… But this world…"
After a brief pause, it nodded slightly, as if recognizing Lucas as its partner.
Then, Zygarde raised its head and scanned the surroundings.
"The Pokémon world is just beginning. Right now, it needs you the most, Zygarde."
Lucas smiled.
Zygarde was the guardian of Pokémon's ecological balance. Its very existence was to maintain order.
If the balance was disrupted, Zygarde would emerge and obliterate the threat—without mercy.
Even humans weren't exempt!
"I can feel it."
Zygarde nodded slightly. As a legendary guardian, its perception far exceeded human understanding.
It sensed Pokémon living on this land… But beyond this region, there was no trace of them.
"So, Lucas… Do you wish for me to protect this land's ecosystem?"
"Of course. And I believe you're the only one who can."
Lucas' serious reply made Zygarde nod in approval.
"I am Zygarde. Protecting natural balance and order is my duty."
Lucas grinned, then pulled out his Pokédex.
BEEP!
Zygarde (Complete Form):
Type: Dragon, Ground
Category: Order Pokémon
Abilities: Aura Break, Power Construct
Moves: Thousand Arrows, Thousand Waves, Core Enforcer, Land's Wrath, Earthquake, Outrage, Dragon Pulse, High Horsepower…
"It is said to live deep in caves, monitoring those who disrupt the ecosystem. It is one of the legendary Aura Pokémon. It will crush threats to the ecosystem with overwhelming force, possessing power that can rival even Xerneas and Yveltal."
"Powerful!"
Seeing Zygarde's Pokédex entry, Lucas smirked.
In the games, obtaining a Complete Zygarde was impossible without assembling its forms. It had to lose half its HP in battle before transforming.
But in reality? Zygarde could separate or reform at will.
And it had four exclusive moves—more than any other legendary Pokémon!
Lucas' grin widened.
"This… is invincible!"
Although he was already strong, having Zygarde made him even more unstoppable!
"Since you need me for this, Lucas… let's begin!"
A radiant green light surged around Zygarde's body as it ascended.
"Zedou~"
A deep dragon roar echoed through the sky, and the night was swallowed in emerald brilliance.
From Zygarde's massive form, countless beams of green light shot out, resembling a meteor shower.
In the City…
Madison, still buzzing from her tournament victory, and her friend Charlotte were chatting late into the night.
Suddenly, Charlotte's face paled as she rushed to the balcony.
"Whoa!! Maddie, come look!"
The green glow bathed Charlotte's face, her eyes wide in shock.
"What is that?!"
Madison ran to her side, staring in awe.
A dazzling emerald light filled the sky—an unforgettable sight!
Across the entire city, people witnessed the otherworldly phenomenon.
The police force was thrown into chaos.
"This world… keeps getting weirder."
At the police station, Captain Robert wiped sweat from his brow, staring at the green-lit sky.
Officer Henry, standing beside him, muttered in disbelief, "If that's a Pokémon… Just how strong is it?!"
A notification popped up in their emergency channel.
"The store manager has confirmed it. This Pokémon is called… Zygarde!"
