Seeing Gardevoir appear in front of him, Mesprit didn't hesitate to wave its finger.
A dense red glow gathered at its brow, the mysterious aura unique to Psychic condensed above the hotel.
It crashed down on Gardevoir.
This force was incomparably violent. Even Gardevoir, who was used to fighting gods, felt her heart tremble.
What was even scarier was that, at the moment that red beam shot out, a halo flashed around Mesprit's body.
Under the effect of the lake trio's exclusive move Mystic Power, Mesprit's special attack rose.
Under this crushing pressure, everyone on the ground was dumbfounded.
"Good lord, what the heck is that thing in the sky?"
"Unreal, that tiny little thing feels stronger than the Gigantamax Pokémon I saw at Galar Arena."
"With that kind of power, isn't it about to tear the whole Seaside Grand Hotel down?"
"Can't tear it down, you see in front of it there's still a Gardevoir standing there."
"Gardevoir?", In the crowd, the fisherman who had been to Gongmen Arena rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"You people really don't know the first thing about battling, huh?"
"What, you think this is a movie?"
"Let me put it this way, if Gardevoir can beat that Pokémon, I'll ground my air force a hundred years!"
On the beach, a few trainers fishing looked at the sky's disturbance and started heated discussion.
After decades as fishermen, they really had never seen such a powerful Pokémon.
But what happened next went beyond their imagination.
A pink wind flashed beside Gardevoir, her body swiftly retreating.
The glow of Protect instantly formed, blocking Mesprit's attack.
The Gardevoir no one thought could do it, stopped Mesprit's strike.
At the same time, an icy chill spread all around.
Within the white glow of a Poké Ball, wings of frost and an aura appeared first.
Glastrier, treading on lotus petals formed of condensed snow and ice, appeared behind Gardevoir.
The next moment, an energy even more violent than Mesprit's, pink light, spread through the sky, covering half of Seaside in radiance.
That raging pink power condensed around Gardevoir and Glastrier, forming a sci-fi-like pink armor.
A giant lance shaped in Gardevoir's hand, the overwhelming aura pressing down so hard even the legendary Mesprit could hardly breathe.
But this only made Mesprit more furious.
The only reason it had come here was because it felt Axel might save the land of Sinnoh.
After seeing Gardevoir and Axel's relationship, it had intended to retreat.
But these people actually attacked it, and even shattered the Red Chain.
So what if they were strong? That didn't mean they could do whatever they wanted in Sinnoh.
Mesprit glared angrily at the Fairy queen before it, its psychic power nearly out of control.
All the energy above the hotel twisted, forming a red sky.
Endless electric energy condensed at the dome, as if ready to strike down any moment.
"Neighhh!"
Glastrier cried out.
As one of Galar's sacred steeds, Glastrier had lived through the Ice Age and also the famous Eastern wars, the Colonisation Era.
It could be said its whole life had been battle, and the thing it feared least was fighting, especially against legendaries.
They had come all the way with Axel to save Sinnoh, and now a Sinnoh legendary was attacking them?
Glastrier was itching for a fight.
Massive, exaggerated icicles formed behind the Fairy queen. With Gardevoir's lance sweeping, the formation was orderly, like a full army assembled, facing Mesprit's thunder-gathered might head-on.
Both sides felt justified, both unleashed full power without hesitation.
The two forces clashed in midair, stirring up a violent energy storm, crackling sounds exploding again and again.
Sensing the power in the sky, the Bell Charity Research Institute's security system linked to the hotel blared throughout the building.
[Legendary Pokémon Mesprit detected in frenzy! Everyone evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!]
[Mesprit's power makes only the truest emotion remain in people's minds, stripping away reason. It is a terrifyingly strong ability.]
The instant the announcement rang out, countless couples in the hotel screamed confessions.
Some office workers on business trips smashed their phones in rage, cursing at bosses they'd long hated.
Some chosen ones, facing the Bell Charity family's emblem, shouted family slogans with passion.
In short, at this moment, everyone crazily vented their feelings.
Pokémon in the hotel sensed the terrifying energy in the sky. One by one they dragged their trainers out through windows or stairs.
The whole place fell into chaos, like the end of the world.
In just a few dozen seconds, the hotel was already empty.
Feeling the energy above almost solid, Platinum, who lived on the top floor, nearly lost control of her body and collapsed with a thud.
She seemed to have lost consciousness. Or rather, some awareness in her heart grew overwhelmingly strong. Her gaze fell toward the neighboring room.
Just as she wanted to act, the Poké Ball at her waist flashed. The Gengar she had just caught today appeared in white light, propping her up and dragging her out, trying to flee with the other Pokémon.
But before reaching the lobby doors, Gengar blinked, its gaze drifting to Axel's room.
'Eh? Why isn't that good guy running?'
'Don't tell me he's been scared stiff.'
Almost instinctively, Gengar's protective side surged, and dragging Platinum's body, it pushed open Axel's door.
After seeing the scene inside... Gengar froze completely.
'Wait, you people are this relaxed?'
'The building could collapse any moment, how are you all so calm?'
It clearly saw Pheromosa sitting on the sofa by the window, big purple eyes watching the battle outside.
She was even chewing stamina medicine, ready to join the fight anytime.
That one called "the General" was washing fruit, making a fruit platter in the shape of Rayquaza.
Beside him, a red dragon watched TV, occasionally shouting "roar."
Even more absurd was Axel. His eyes were blank, looking exactly like a Pokémon under Confuse Ray.
He was running around the room nonstop, shouting things like "Gardevoir come out, I'm gonna teach you a lesson..."
And the Poké Balls hanging on the wall, Gengar could clearly sense those guys were sleeping soundly.
'Wait, are you people all this reckless?'
Gengar felt it had to save Axel somehow.
"Geng!"
'Brothers, run quick! There's a super strong guy outside, and he's furious, he's about to tear the house down!'
"Yo?", Pheromosa glanced at the sky outside, smiling and shaking her head lightly.
The General looked at Rayquaza's Poké Ball hanging on the wall, and at the neighbors beside it, then fell into thought.
Was that legendary outside really dangerous?
Didn't feel like it.
Axel: "Gardevoir, Pheromosa, admit it or not? I'm asking you, admit it or not!"
Gengar: "..."
'Dude, the world's ending and you're playing hide-and-seek?'
