Slumbering Weald.
On the verdant grass, Zacian, who had been feigning sleep with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes, stood up, and gazed into the distance.
"Sister?"
Zamazenta, standing nearby, noticed Zacian's movement and asked in confusion.
"That human is calling me."
After a moment of hesitation, Zacian still answered Zamazenta.
Zamazenta immediately understood that it was the human who had taken the rusted sword.
"I'll go take a look; perhaps that menace has awakened," Zacian prepared to rush over.
"I'll go with you, Sister."
Zamazenta naturally wanted to accompany Zacian, as if Eternatus truly 'revived' completely, Zacian alone might not be able to handle it.
Zacian originally wanted to refuse, as in its opinion, even if Eternatus truly 'revived,' a newly awakened Eternatus would certainly not be at its peak.
But considering certain circumstances, Zacian did not refuse.
The two legends instantly soared into the sky, flying towards their destination.
Meanwhile, at Motostoke Stadium.
Eternatus Eternamax stood beneath the black swirling sky, its immense body creating a profoundly shocking visual and psychological impact.
No matter what, this size… the oppressive feeling it exuded was simply too strong.
"Mammon, you should be able to defeat it, right?"
Chairman Rose's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Now that Eternatus had Gigantamaxed, its oppressive presence had reached an astonishing level, causing even Chairman Rose, who was mature and steady, to feel his heart race.
Chairman Rose was now incredibly grateful that he hadn't impulsively allowed Leon to try and capture Eternatus.
Otherwise, he would truly be listed as a criminal in Galar's history.
"Don't worry, I've invited its natural enemy," Mammon said with a relaxed expression, shaking the Rusted Sword in his hand at Chairman Rose.
Not to mention Mammon himself was confident in defeating Eternatus, he also had a 'special artifact' against Eternatus.
For dealing with Eternatus, Sword King and Shield King are the professionals, very professional.
Calyrex, who had been calmly playing games on its phone since Mammon released it, seemed to sense something. It glanced at the Rusted Sword in Mammon's hand, a hint of confusion in its eyes.
When did Mammon get involved with Zacian?
Mammon, of course, did not know Calyrex's thoughts. He looked at Eternatus Eternamax, clicking his tongue in wonder.
However, it must be said that the pressure from Eternatus Eternamax was indeed astonishing.
Roar~!
A low, hoarse Dragon-type roar echoed through the sky. Eternatus Eternamax's massive claws slightly contracted, shimmering with intense purplish-blue light.
Pure, immense crimson Dragon-type energy surged forth, transforming into an enormous swirling tornado that swept towards Stellar Tera Terapagos, with two wing-like energy forms rotating outside the tornado.
This was none other than the Dragon-type Dynamax move, Dynamax Dragon!
After Gigantamaxing, Eternatus could naturally use Dynamax moves. A very special point was that Eternatus was also the only Pokémon that could still freely use normal moves while in its Eternamax form.
"Stellar Burst."
Mammon immediately ordered Terapagos via telepathy.
Facing a Dynamax move, simply dodging was not easy, but using Protect was also unrealistic.
Because Dynamax moves inherently had a Protect-breaking effect, the simplest method was a head-on clash!
A solemn expression flashed in Stellar Tera Terapagos's eyes, and the crystal on its head glowed brilliantly.
The Normal-type Stellar Burst!
Countless starlight points shot out, beautiful and dazzling, meeting the oncoming Dynamax Dragon tornado.
Boom, boom, boom!
Intense roars resounded incessantly. The 'stars' of Stellar Burst furiously bombarded Dynamax Dragon.
The powerful Dynamax Dragon's momentum was momentarily halted by the bombardment, yet Eternatus Eternamax's power had completely surged after Gigantamaxing.
Although the Dynamax Dragon's forward momentum was temporarily obstructed, it showed no signs of dissipating.
Stellar Burst continued its incessant bombardment, powerful air currents surged and spread, accompanied by another cry from Stellar Tera Terapagos.
Rumble!
The colossal Dynamax tornado was forcefully blasted apart by Stellar Tera Terapagos's Stellar Burst.
Vast energy spread out in a shockwave, and a terrifying storm, like a natural disaster, howled, causing the Motostoke Stadium on the ground to crack and crumble.
And Mammon and the others, who were just outside Motostoke Stadium, were naturally within the affected area.
However, Calyrex merely looked up, and its powerful Psychic abilities instantly transformed into an invisible protective barrier, shielding Mammon and the others.
The violent air currents swept in, but all were blocked by the Psychic barrier.
"Hiss~ Oh, this is too exaggerated…"
Raihan gasped, staring in shock at the largely shattered Motostoke Stadium and the buildings behind them that had been swept away by the air currents from the exploding moves.
No, was this the Pokémon battle he knew?
The most crucial thing was that these two Pokémon were battling in the air, and the ground below was only affected by residual energy!
"Mammon, I need Spectrier."
Having defended against this wave of energy impact, Calyrex still hadn't put down its phone. It merely spoke to Mammon via telepathy.
Without riding a horse, its strength was still somewhat insufficient.
Although blocking the attack just now seemed effortless, Calyrex knew that this battle had only just begun.
The commotion from the upcoming battle between Stellar Tera Terapagos and Eternatus Eternamax would likely only grow more intense.
"Alright," Mammon readily agreed.
He released Spectrier for Calyrex to ride. After mounting, Calyrex felt much more at ease and continued to tinker with its phone.
In fact, Calyrex was seriously contemplating a question: should it start a live stream at this moment?
After all, according to Mammon, such a legendary battle was very appealing to viewers and would likely bring in a lot of traffic.
And most importantly, with such a live stream, it could occasionally throw in a move to participate, which would probably garner a lot of positive feedback, right?
However, since Calyrex had not yet streamed, it was still a bit conflicted.
After a moment of hesitation, Calyrex decided not to stream for now, as it had no experience whatsoever.
As a king, it was probably better not to easily attempt things without confidence.
But indeed, such a scene was very rare; it was a bit of a shame to miss out on this traffic.
Calyrex looked up at the sky with some regret.
"Roar~!"
A low, hoarse Dragon-type roar echoed again. Eternatus Eternamax's massive claws suddenly spread open, and five crimson beams of light condensed and shone brightly.
Dynamax Cannon?
Mammon raised an eyebrow at this, but quickly realized that this was not Dynamax Cannon, but Dynamax Cannon.
It was just Dynamax Cannon × 5!
Good heavens, is this how it plays when it has abundant energy? Are Dynamax Cannons free?
Mammon couldn't help but smack his lips. This Eternatus was indeed quite pragmatic.
But for Mammon, this Dynamax Cannon was actually easier to deal with than Dynamax Dragon.
"Protect."
Stellar Tera Terapagos decisively used a Protect barrier.
Boom!
Five violent crimson beams of light descended from the sky, heavily striking Stellar Tera Terapagos.
However, due to the scale of the Dynamax Cannon, two of them actually passed by Stellar Tera Terapagos, ultimately landing heavily on the ground.
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently as the Dynamax Cannon heavily exploded, strong winds and air currents surged and howled, and a large amount of sand and dust filled the air.
Seeing this scene, Chairman Rose couldn't help but frown deeply, once again feeling grateful for his wise decision.
Thank goodness for Mammon!!
The scale and power of this attack, and it was merely what Eternatus had missed.
"Motostoke City… Chairman, if this continues, Motostoke City will be ruined!"
And Raihan, finally realizing this, widened his eyes, looking at the dilapidated ground in the distance.
No, if they kept fighting like this, what would be left of Motostoke City? Just the foundations?
Raihan finally understood why Chairman Rose had initially wanted all Motostoke City residents evacuated. If they hadn't evacuated, and a Dynamax Cannon went astray, wouldn't their ashes be flying in the sky?
But people could leave, cities couldn't!
Raihan's own home was in Motostoke City!
"Don't panic, Raihan. If the city is gone, it can be rebuilt. As long as people are still here, there's still a future," Chairman Rose calmly and gently reassured him.
"I caused this, and I will rebuild Motostoke City afterwards."
Hearing Chairman Rose's words, Raihan's mood instantly calmed. Chairman Rose, why didn't you say so earlier?
As for whether Chairman Rose had the ability to rebuild Motostoke City…
Raihan had no doubt. If he could build Hammerlocke, then Motostoke City would be a piece of cake for Chairman Rose, wouldn't it?
And in this way, he would get a new house.
Raihan was in a great mood. He even secretly took out his Rotom Phone when Chairman Rose wasn't looking, chose an angle, and took a selfie, with Eternatus's massive claws perfectly in the background.
Hmm, Raihan was purely enjoying the show at this point. Anyway, he couldn't deal with such a powerful Eternatus; that was Mammon's enemy to handle.
He just needed to shout 'Boss 666' from the back, right?
Mammon, noticing this, couldn't help but smile. This Raihan was truly a gem!
The subsequent battle between Stellar Tera Terapagos and Eternatus Eternamax was almost repetitive. In a one-on-one situation, Teraapagos truly had no way to deal with Eternatus.
Mammon knew very well that Eternatus Eternamax's most outstanding qualities were its exaggerated stamina and defense, making it almost meaningless for Teraapagos to attack Eternatus.
So Teraapagos mostly focused on defense.
About ten minutes later, two streaks of light, one blue and one red, sped from the horizon and finally landed in front of Mammon and the others.
"This is…?"
Raihan's curiosity surged as he watched where the two streaks of light landed.
Chairman Rose and the others were also intrigued, as based on their entrance, these two Pokémon were definitely extraordinary!
When the light dissipated, two wolf-like or dog-like Pokémon appeared before their eyes.
"These two Pokémon are…?" Leon fell into contemplation. He realized he didn't recognize these two Pokémon…
"The legendary heroes, Zacian and Zamazenta."
Mammon's lips curved upwards.
"You finally arrived."
"We came as fast as we could."
A cold telepathic message sounded; it was Zacian's.
But in reality, as soon as Zacian and Zamazenta landed, their gazes were fixed on Eternatus high in the sky.
Especially Zacian, the cold gleam in its eyes was completely undisguised, and the chilling killing intent radiating from its body was terrifyingly heavy.
It made Chairman Rose and the others feel a chill down their spines.
"It seems my investigation was correct. The legendary heroes are not humans, but Pokémon."
Chairman Rose's eyes narrowed slightly. Previously, he had mobilized a large number of people to collect information about the legendary Pokémon of the Galar region.
He had already largely confirmed this point; Zacian and Zamazenta's appearance and Mammon's words simply fully affirmed it.
"This parasite is actually still alive." Zamazenta's expression was also very serious and cold at this moment.
"Eternatus isn't that easy to kill. So, next, Zacian, will you make a move?" Mammon smiled.
"Didn't you call me here for this?"
Zacian's telepathic response was still cold, answering without turning its head.
"Ah~ that's indeed true. I wonder if I have the honor of witnessing it firsthand?"
Mammon raised the rusted sword in his right hand, his smile very bright.
"The power of the legendary Sword King and Shield King, the power that saved the Galar region three thousand years ago."
The rusted sword in Mammon's hand seemed to respond to a summons. Its rusted blade shimmered with light and swiftly flew in front of Zacian.
Zacian opened its mouth and bit the hilt, and a dazzling, sharp sword light instantly shone, completely enveloping Zacian.
When the light dissipated, the magnificent, aloof, and regal Sword King Zacian stood proudly in place.
Compared to its Hero of Many Battles form, in its Sword King form, the patterns on its body were rich and vibrant, a golden crown seemed to adorn its head, and the fairy king's sword held in its mouth was ornate and exquisite.
And Zamazenta, beside it, had also entered its Shield King form using the Rusted Shield it carried.
The sharp and brilliant Sword King, the steady and profound Shield King!
And at this moment, Eternatus, high in the sky, also seemed to sense the aura of its sworn enemies below. The eyes on its massive claws suddenly turned towards the two kings on the ground.
A low, angry Dragon-type roar, filled with intense resentment and fury, seemed to question.
It knew it!
Three thousand years!
It had been three thousand years!
These two dogs were still chasing it!! What kind of grudge, what kind of enmity was this?
It just wanted to live! What did it do wrong?!
Eternatus was truly furious and wronged.
Who understands, my friends? Three thousand years ago, it only absorbed energy to survive, and these two dogs jumped out to fight it to the death.
Three thousand years passed, and it had just woken up for a short while, and these two dogs jumped out again!
Alright, alright, alright!! You won't let me live, huh? Then none of us will live!
"Roar!!"
Eternatus's enraged Dragon-type roar echoed through the sky. Today, old and new grudges would be settled!
Sword King Zacian looked up at Eternatus in the sky, its icy, piercing gaze carrying a chill that could freeze the heavens.
And at this moment, it finally responded to Mammon.
"As you wish!"
