—------------------—
Night fell, and the bustling city of Opelucid City in the Unova region was now plunged into chaos.
Countless masked figures wearing Team Plasma uniforms were commanding their Liepard, Weavile, and Cryogonal to invade the entire city.
In the center of the city, an elderly man with a beard covering half his face was commanding his Haxorus to continuously push back the Team Plasma members invading the city.
"Roar!"
Haxorus unleashed a powerful Dragon Pulse, blocking the attacks from the Weavile and the others. It then charged forward, its powerful and muscular tail lashing out fiercely at a Liepard, sending it flying back into the Team Plasma members behind it.
Opelucid City Gym Leader Drayden stared intensely at the Team Plasma executive who had walked up to him.
The executive, wearing a loose robe that wrapped around his entire body and a medieval sage-like ritual hat, clapped his hands while looking at Drayden, and said: "Drayden, I admit that your strength is truly formidable, but I advise you to take a good look at the situation around you."
The executive reached out his hand: "Hand over the dna splicers obediently, and it will be better for both of us."
"So that was your goal!"
Drayden stared at the Team Plasma executive before him and said in a deep voice.
Just as Drayden was about to have Haxorus take down the executive in front of him, a massive airship hovered above Opelucid City.
Inside the airship, Colress pushed up his glasses and slowly spoke: "Prepare to fire, Kyurem Cannon!"
After speaking, he pressed the button in his hand. The instrument's needle spun wildly, and the energy obtained from Kyurem transformed into a terrifying Frost Breath cannon, pouring down toward the Opelucid City below.
"This approach may lack compassion, but Kyurem, I will use the power of science to unearth your true strength."
Drayden looked at the terrifying beam of light and fell into a state of trepidation.
Inside the airship, Colress continued to push up his glasses, "I will let you transcend your limits."
He pressed the button again, turning the instrument's power to the maximum, causing energy that moved the heavens and earth to pour out once more, surging toward the Opelucid City on the ground. The edges of Opelucid City began to turn into ice and spread toward the city center.
In the night sky, Shauntal and Caitlin watched the terrifying energy beam from afar and stopped in their tracks.
"This..."
Shauntal covered her mouth, unable to believe it.
"Lucas... Cynthia..."
Caitlin murmured to herself: "You... will be okay, right?"
In Opelucid City, under the night sky, in the city center, a figure wearing a medieval court dress looked at the approaching energy beam with a calm expression.
The color of her eyes became increasingly deep and enchanting.
The Team Plasma executive looked at Drayden and said: "It's over."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head abruptly, "What is that?!"
Drayden turned his head as well, discovering that the energy beam capable of freezing the entire Opelucid City was now hovering in mid-air, blocked by a massive purple barrier.
"Crack..."
Cracks began to appear on the barrier and quickly spread in all directions.
Blood flowed continuously from the corner of Gothitelle's mouth. The psychic power within its body surged out, repairing the protective shield. Its body was slowly bent under the terrifying pressure until it knelt on the ground.
Colress watched this scene from the instrument panel and couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Gothitelle!!! It's you again!!!"
Colress kept pressing the buttons in anger. The unconscious Kyurem began to let out painful wails, and the instrument used to restrain Kyurem began to shake.
Seeing this, Colress suppressed his anger and stopped his actions. Soon, Kyurem also began to stabilize.
Deoxys No. 1 looked at Gothitelle's back with admiration, transformed into Speed Forme, and arrived behind Gothitelle, squeezing out the last bit of energy from within its body to repair the protective shield.
No. 2 followed closely behind.
With the help of the two Deoxys, Gothitelle gritted its teeth and slowly stood up from the ground, and the protective shield began to push back.
"Gothitelle!!!"
Get... back!!!
Lucas sat on Latias's back, looking at the trembling Gothitelle, and sighed with heartache.
"Reliable Mama Gothitelle... you've worked hard..."
Lucas said softly, then he got down from Latias's back and looked at Lilligant, "We're up, Lilligant."
Lilligant slightly lifted her dress to signal that the stage was ready.
Lucas began to hum an unknown melody. This was the "Summer Firefly Night" that Lucas had hummed last summer. The beautiful melody, accompanied by the dance performed by the Trainer and the Pokémon, caused a certain unknown Pokémon in the distance to cross over to Opelucid City, watching Lucas and Lilligant's dance from afar.
This dance was very long.
Lilligant's graceful figure danced continuously beside Lucas. Every time her small feet stepped on a spot, bright flowers grew there. As more and more flowers bloomed around them, the distant lights were shattered by Liepard. With a "bang," the flowers exploded directly, and the entire Opelucid City was instantly filled with flowers, even the places that had been frozen were covered in flowers.
Team Plasma executive: "What is happening now?!"
He looked at the flowers blooming everywhere under his feet and asked the ultimate question.
"What is happening? Needless to say, it must be a situation favorable to me!"
Drayden seized the opportunity and commanded Haxorus to attack.
In different time and space.
Two Pokémon resembling little elves were sitting on a tree trunk, their hands clasped in front of their chests, humming the exact same melody. The flowers and plants around them bloomed simultaneously.
[Celebi: Lucas, we are with you.]
Three different times and spaces, because of sincere emotions, tightly connected three people and Pokémon from different time and space together.
In the distance.
The migrating Shaymin Family, facing the moonlight, entered Sky Forme. Wherever they passed, vegetation flourished and flowers bloomed.
"Lilligant."
Lucas pointed his finger at the Team Plasma airship, his voice calm but carrying an inexplicable pressure.
"Bloom Doom!"
The Grass-type energy blessed by Celebi, the Shaymin Family, and Arceus gathered on the flower on Lilligant's head. Then, a dazzling beam, comparable to the one fired by the airship, soared into the sky and headed straight for the airship.
Shauntal, Caitlin, the Team Plasma executive, and Drayden all stopped their actions and looked up at the sky.
The dazzling light turned the entire Opelucid City into a brief daylight.
Boom!!!
The Team Plasma airship was hit, lost all functionality, and smashed down toward Opelucid City.
Colress found the culprit of all this.
That man with black hair and black eyes.
"Who on earth are you!!!"
Colress roared, but received no response from Lucas. Urged by his subordinates, he took Kyurem and retreated first.
Lucas hugged the exhausted Lilligant, fiddled with the flower stamen on her head, "You've worked hard, rest well."
After speaking, he returned Lilligant to her Poké Ball. Not far away, because the airship was destroyed, Gothitelle no longer had to struggle to resist the attack. It stood up unsteadily and flew back toward Lucas.
"You've worked hard too, Gothitelle..."
Gothitelle threw itself into Lucas's arms and lost consciousness.
"Thanks to you, Gothitelle, thank you."
Lucas also returned Gothitelle to her Poké Ball.
He took a deep breath, just wanting to say that the matter was resolved.
Cynthia, who was on the side, retracted her gaze from the sky and looked at Lucas: "I admit you were really cool just now, and I like it very much, but how should we deal with that thing now?"
Lucas followed Cynthia's guidance and looked up, discovering that the Team Plasma airship was crashing down toward Opelucid City. With that massive body, if it crashed down, he believed Opelucid City would be half destroyed.
Lucas: !!!
Oh no! Just now I was busy destroying it! I forgot about the aftermath!
What should I do now?!
Who else is nearby? Gengar and Machamp were sent out by him to clean up the Team Plasma members.
He turned his gaze to Latias, "Latias, you've been raised for a thousand days to be used for a moment. This fat you've been putting on should finally be put to use."
Latias: !!!
I'll ram into you and die!
You want me to collide with that thing? If you want me to die, just say so, I might as well ram into you first!
Latias listened to Lucas's words and was almost so angry she vomited blood.
She had been working hard as a mount and a fighter, and yet at this moment, he actually wanted to sacrifice her?
"Then what else should we do? If this thing crashes down, it's no joke."
Lucas had no other way for a moment.
"Try to break it into smaller pieces?"
Cynthia suggested. Lucas shook his head, "No, it's too late."
Meanwhile, just as the airship was about to hit Opelucid City.
A massive hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and a huge figure swam out from it. Its steel claws firmly locked onto the airship and dragged it back into the hole.
"You owe me one, Lucas."
"That really saved my life. That's easy to say, later I'll give Alcremie and the Female Meowstic a few days off and let them go over to chat with you."
Looking at the sky returning to normal, Lucas's legs went weak, and he prepared to sit on the ground, but he felt himself fall into a fragrant, soft, and bouncy embrace.
Looking up, he found Cynthia looking down at him with a smile.
"You worked hard."
Cynthia said softly to Lucas.
His Pokémon would usually be the ones to say this to him, and now he had his own Cynthia, smelling sweet, saying it to him.
Lucas took the opportunity to act spoiled, "Can I have a kiss then?"
Cynthia hesitated for a moment, then knelt on the flowers, straightened her upper body, lifted Lucas's head, and lowered her head to gently press her lips against his.
Feeling the tenderness on his lips, Lucas widened his eyes, then squinted them shut.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the Team Plasma executive turned and ran away.
Just as he turned around, he saw a big, chubby face making a grimace at him.
"What the— Ma— Ma— Mom—"
Gengar immediately hit him with Thunder Wave, followed by Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Confuse Ray, stacking him with negative buffs.
"Gengar!"
I've been annoyed by you for a while, always muttering nonsense. Take this Poison Jab!
As for his Pokémon, they were being tossed back and forth like sandbags by Machamp.
Gengar looked at the drooling Team Plasma executive lying on the ground, made another grimace at him, and then looked at Drayden, greeting him with a grin.
"Thank you and Machamp for your help, Gengar."
Drayden thanked Gengar solemnly.
Gengar continued to grin.
Shauntal and Caitlin also arrived at the scene. As soon as Shauntal landed, she asked Gengar, "Gengar, how is the situation?"
Gengar turned around and pointed its finger at the drooling Team Plasma executive lying on the ground.
"Gengar!"
Taken down!
Shauntal breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Drayden, "Gym Leader Drayden, you've worked hard."
Drayden shook his head, "This is what I should do. As the Gym Leader of Opelucid City, it is my responsibility to protect it."
Shauntal nodded and looked at Gengar, "Where is Lucas?"
Gengar floated in the air, leading the way for Shauntal and the others.
The flowers in Opelucid City had all withered, leaving only those in the city center still in bloom. When Shauntal and the others arrived, Caitlin saw Lucas lying in Cynthia's arms and clenched her small fists. A Team Plasma member lying on the ground who had just regained consciousness suddenly felt an inexplicable mental shock, rolled his eyes, and fainted again.
Team Plasma member: Feed me peanuts, feed me peanuts, hey!
Seeing Shauntal and the others approaching, Lucas lay comfortably in Cynthia's arms, twisting his head slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a sense of weightlessness behind him, and with a thud, he landed directly in the flowers.
He turned his head and blinked at Cynthia, who smiled slightly at him.
"Pushing your luck."
Seeing Cynthia's lip movements, Lucas stood up feeling guilty. He looked at Drayden and extended his hand, "Hello, Gym Leader Drayden, my name is Lucas."
Drayden knew that the man before him was the one who saved Opelucid City, so he reached out and shook Lucas's hand.
"Thanks to your arrival and that of Champion Cynthia, our Opelucid City was able to avoid destruction."
"This is also what we should do."
Lucas replied with a smile, then looked at Drayden and asked, "Gym Leader Drayden, you still have the dna splicers, right?"
Drayden nodded, "Before the battle started, I had already hidden the dna splicers. The location is very secret; no one but me knows where it is."
"That's good. Remember to keep the dna splicers safe. If it falls into the hands of Team Plasma, who knows what kind of trouble it could cause."
"I guarantee it won't fall into their hands."
Drayden declared confidently.
"Lucas, was that… Giratina just now?"
Shauntal asked, recalling the huge figure she had seen dragging away the Team Plasma ship.
Lucas nodded, "To be honest, I really didn't expect it to be so loyal. Usually, it refuses to help me move some small things, so I didn't expect it to be so righteous this time."
Hearing this in the Distortion World, Giratina was instantly furious. It wished it could send the damaged ship back to him right now.
What do you mean by "small things"? You call a stinking mountain of trash "small things"? You call that huge tornado "small things"?
Do you know that if my Distortion World is damaged, the real world will also be damaged?!
You don't know, you don't know anything. You only know how to ride your little fat plane around, and after causing massive destruction in the real world, you leave all the troublesome matters for me to handle!
The more Giratina thought about it, the angrier it got.
Then, it stared at the Team Plasma airship hovering in the sky of the Distortion World and destroyed it completely with a pulse.
The more it looked, the angrier it became! Damn it! If I ever take the initiative to help you, Lucas, again, I'm a dog!
Giratina slithered away from the spot.
"Giratina? Isn't it from the Sinnoh region…"
Drayden was shocked. Lucas nodded, "I have a bit of a friendship with it. We occasionally grab a meal or take a bath together…"
Usually, Ninetales would interrupt with its tail at times like this, but unfortunately, Ninetales was resting in its Poké Ball. However, another Pokémon replaced Ninetales.
A hand chop struck the back of Lucas's neck. Lucas felt as if the Drayden before him had used Double Team, and then his body went limp, and he collapsed.
Drayden: ?!
Cynthia: ?!!
Gengar: ?!!!
Garchomp: Uh-oh— Lucas has been put to sleep by Machamp.
Looking at the fallen Lucas, Machamp was puzzled, Machamp was confused, Machamp scratched its head.
Ninetales said to interrupt Lucas when he was bragging, otherwise it would be embarrassing for the Breeding House, but I didn't even use much strength.
Gengar: I told you to interrupt him, not to break him!
Lucas opened his eyes and saw half the sky and Cynthia's face.
"What… happened to me?"
Lucas remembered he was just chatting with Drayden, right? How did he suddenly pass out?
"It's fine. You asked Machamp to help you fall asleep, and then you fell asleep."
Me? I would ask Machamp to help me fall asleep? Do I have a death wish?
I remember now! It was a hand chop! Machamp's hand chop! That hand chop as big as my head!
Looking at Cynthia, whose face he could only half see, Lucas suddenly felt that this wasn't so bad? It's my favorite lap pillow again~
"Machamp, well done. I'll give you extra chicken legs when we get back!"
Lucas said with satisfaction.
Seeing Lucas wake up, Machamp walked over with its head lowered.
"Machamp—"
Sorry— I shouldn't— Huh? Well done? Me? Extra chicken legs? Hehe, that's right, I knew I did a good job! I told you, I didn't even use much strength! I know Lucas best after all.
Machamp left with a grin again, going to look for any Team Plasma members who were faking unconsciousness to give them each a hand chop.
"How long do you plan on lying there?"
Cynthia asked helplessly, looking at Lucas's face.
"Just a little longer. The last time I lay like this was in Poplar Town."
Looking at Lucas's tired face, Cynthia couldn't bear to refuse. She reached out and gently stroked Lucas's head, humming the melody Lucas had just been humming.
In the distance, Shauntal saw this scene and was ecstatic. I have inspiration again!
Drayden: Are they a couple? They look like a perfect match! Caitlin? Heh, a loser.
Just as Lucas was enjoying the flowers and his lover's touch, his phone rang again. Lucas lazily answered the call.
"Hello, this is Lucas."
"Lucas! Help! The Boss has gone crazy!"
Jessie's voice came through.
The Boss? Boss Giovanni?!
Lucas sat up straight and quickly asked about the situation on Jessie's end.
Because Lucas sat up suddenly, Cynthia, caught off guard, gasped and used the moonlight to gently rub her front armor.
After hearing Jessie's words, Lucas's eyes went blank. No way— it's not over yet—
What do you mean Giovanni wanted to use the power of the Forces of Nature to control the Unova region, but ended up being controlled and falling into a frenzy?
What do you mean the Forces of Nature are attacking Ash and the others, and then another white dragon Pokémon appeared?
Have I become a General of Special Operations too? Seventy-two hours of death— it's the forty-eighth hour now—
Lucas stood up and called out to Gengar and Machamp— oh, almost forgot— and those two Deoxys lying on the ground exhausted and resting.
"Still sleeping? How can you sleep at your age?"
Deoxys: ??? Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Why does it sound like we've been slacking off the whole time?
Cynthia walked over at this moment, "What's wrong?"
"Ash is also encountering some situations over there."
Lucas summarized it roughly.
"I'll go with you."
Lucas nodded, then climbed onto Latias and left Opelucid City with Cynthia.
Shauntal and Caitlin exchanged a look. Shauntal said, "Gym Leader Drayden, let the others handle things here. We'll head over there."
"Alright."
