"Dark Mewtwo Y, and Shinny Super Rayquaza... Oh my goodness~"
Iono looked at the two Pokémon with their powerful and oppressive aura, and let out a cute gasp.
At this moment, the way she looked at Mammon's back had completely changed!
Actually, after Mammon challenged her to a ranking battle that day, she went back and searched extensively for information about him.
There wasn't much information online about Mammon and Team Rockets in Paldea, but there was a lot in other regions.
Iono truly found a lot of news about Mammon and Team Rockets.
The reformer of Team Rockets, who led Team Rockets to dominate the underground world of all regions, unifying the underworld.
There were also some rumors that the destruction of Kanto's Saffron City was caused by a great war between Team Rockets and the Kanto League, all to reshape the world's order.
And the result was that Team Rockets overwhelmingly defeated the Pokémon League!
And Mammon was vaguely referred to as the strongest Trainer in modern times, hailed as a 'Near-God'!
As for the reason? It was still rumored that Mammon had repeatedly defeated Champion-level Trainers from the League.
And now, Iono truly believed Mammon's title of 'Near-God'.
Reshiram, Yveltal, and now Dark Mewtwo Y, Shinny Super Rayquaza!
All of them were Pokémon from myths and legends, and these were just the ones she had seen with her own eyes. According to the information she searched for, Mammon also controlled at least one ancient legend, Kyogre, the 'deep sea king'.
But... "How can such a strong Mammon be ranked behind me??"
Iono couldn't understand how Mammon, the boss of Team Rockets and the strongest modern Trainer, could be ranked behind her in the World Championship.
Were the people at the League who did the initial rankings out of their minds?
"You shall all perish in this paradise!"
"Full Power Take Down!"
AI Sada swung her arm, giving the order to Koraidon.
"Lightning Charge!"
AI Turo also had Miraidon launch an attack.
Koraidon roared, leaping high, its entire body shimmering with intense red energy, and the two long whiskers on its head transformed into wings.
Like a blazing fireball, Koraidon, at full power, spun rapidly and charged at Dark Mewtwo Y on the ground at high speed.
A Fighting-type Full Power Take Down!
"Dragon Ascent."
Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"Psychic."
Dark Mewtwo Y's eyes flickered with deep purple flames. It completely ignored the approaching Koraidon, raising an arm and aiming it at Miraidon, whose body was flashing with lightning.
A vast and powerful Psychic instantly enveloped Miraidon's entire body, forcefully controlling its movements.
Miraidon struggled and exerted itself, its golden lightning crackling wildly, but the terrifying Psychic firmly held it captive, preventing it from attacking.
Dark Mewtwo Y's Psychic power was now terrifyingly strong!
Although the Dread Plate primarily boosted its Dark-type abilities, with the accumulated, endless energy from the Plate over time, Dark Mewtwo Y's Psychic power had also been constantly increasing.
In fact, purely in terms of strength, the current Dark Mewtwo Y was already completely on par with Giratina, Black Rayquaza, and the others.
It could even become stronger by forcefully activating the Dread Plate's boost during battle!
"Roar~!"
Black Rayquaza let out a high-pitched dragon's roar, its magnificent and slender dragon body twisting, and pure green energy continuously surged and condensed.
The next second, Black Rayquaza transformed into a swift and sharp green blade of light, instantly tearing through the air.
A Flying-type Dragon Ascent!
Boom!
Dragon Ascent heavily struck Koraidon.
A surging and incredibly violent wave of air instantly erupted. Koraidon, forcefully intercepted, had no choice but to exert all its strength to contend with Black Super Rayquaza.
"Ugh~!"
The two legends clashed wildly in the air, vast gusts of wind spreading out, directly affecting Mammon and the others below.
However, a translucent barrier rose, completely blocking these air currents.
Terapagos poked its small head out from Mammon's arms, tilting its head to look at the time machine above and the surrounding Tera Crystals.
Emmmm... Teraapagos's eyes were extremely strange.
Roar~!
Accompanied by a domineering dragon's roar, the sharp, blade-like green light instantly pierced through the giant 'fireball'.
Koraidon's surrounding red energy instantly dissipated, letting out a cry of intense pain.
Rumble!
With a violent explosion, the energy from Dragon Ascent heavily detonated on Koraidon's body.
Koraidon's massive body fell heavily to the ground, the intense pain preventing it from getting up immediately.
It was a Dragon/Fighting-type legend, and the Flying-type Dragon Ascent dealt very high damage to it.
"Dragon Pulse."
Turning its head, Black Rayquaza condensed pure dragon light in its mouth, and a dragon-shaped pulse tore through the air, striking Koraidon's body.
Boom!
Another violent roar, the Dragon Pulse exploded on Koraidon's body, and Koraidon's body, which had not yet gotten up, tilted back to the ground.
On the other side, Dark Mewtwo Y was expressionless, pointing a finger downwards.
Bang!
Miraidon, controlled by Psychic, instantly plummeted to the ground at high speed, slamming heavily onto the earth. The immense force created a large crater where Miraidon landed.
"Darkest Lariat."
Dark Mewtwo Y raised its right arm and opened its palm, a purplish-black energy sphere constantly pulsing and expanding.
A Dark-type Darkest Lariat!
The Darkest Lariat was thrown, instantly hitting Miraidon, who was getting up.
Rumble rumble!
Deafening explosions continuously echoed, and black energy shockwaves rippled outwards.
In the center of the black-purple energy, Miraidon let out a painful shriek, its body being violently impacted and cleansed by the energy.
"Hiss~! They're not on the same level at all!"
Iono exclaimed dramatically.
Both Dark Mewtwo Y and Black Super Rayquaza were completely overwhelming Koraidon and Miraidon.
This was a completely one-sided battle; the two sides were simply not on the same level.
"Of course, Mewtwo and Rayquaza are both frontline members of Mammon's main force. The gap between legends can be huge."
Selene pouted, but her eyes were still sparkling as she looked at Dark Mewtwo Y and Black Rayquaza.
They were truly strong and handsome!!
"Mammon is truly too powerful," Arven also couldn't help but exclaim.
"As expected, there's not much resistance."
Looking at the two Paradise Guardian Dragons being beaten down by Black Rayquaza and Dark Mewtwo Y, Mammon shook his head.
These two Paradise Guardian Dragons were clearly stronger individuals, their combat power significantly greater than the first individuals.
But clearly, they were still no match for Black Rayquaza and the others.
Not long after, Koraidon and Miraidon were completely defeated and fell unconscious.
And with Koraidon and Miraidon's defeat, the dim light of the time machine gradually stopped.
"This is... amazing!"
On the high platform, AI Sada and AI Turo, whose bodies were clearly even more damaged, both held their injured arms, looking at Mammon with admiration.
Their eyes had now returned to their normal appearance from their first meeting, clearly having temporarily escaped the program's control.
"I never thought that the Professor's ultimate plan would be useless in front of you, Mammon!"
Although the two AIs had considered whether Mammon could defeat the Paradise Guardian Dragons, they never expected them to be defeated so easily.
"Is it... resolved now?" Platinum asked cautiously.
But... Platinum looked at the time machine, which was still flickering with light, seemingly still operating?
"Hmm... The Paradise Defense Program has been broken, and the time machine is temporarily damaged and ineffective, but it hasn't been completely shut down yet."
AI Turo glanced at the time machine, revealing a wry smile.
"Thank you, Mammon, and thank you all."
"But it seems as long as we are still here, the time machine cannot be shut down. We... have also become part of the time machine's repair system."
AI Sada spoke sincerely to Mammon and the others, finally forcing a smile.
She took a few steps forward.
Zzzzt Zzzzzz
Faint electric currents flickered on her body. Her body... no, her chassis, was already significantly damaged.
This made even moving quite difficult for her.
"Arven."
"..."
Arven looked at AI Sada with reddened eyes.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you the truth all this time. I'm truly sorry," AI Sada said softly.
"I inherited all of the Professor's emotions and fully understand her feelings. Your mother truly always loved you."
Hearing AI Sada's words, Arven finally couldn't hold back, lowering his head, sobbing, and tears streaming down his face.
"Mom..."
"As long as we, who are part of the time machine, are still here, the time machine won't shut down. It's a pity, isn't it?"
AI Turo said with a sense of relief.
"How could this be..."
Iono pursed her lips, looking at AI Sada and AI Turo in front, the atmosphere gradually becoming heavy.
It was clear that these two AIs intended to sacrifice themselves to completely shut down the time machine.
Otherwise, as long as they, as part of the time machine, were still here, the time machine could not be shut down, or even if it were, it would gradually restart.
But... both AI Sada and AI Turo were such good people.
Yes, in Iono's view, these two AIs were living humans; they possessed their own thoughts and wills.
"Is there no other way...?" Platinum also felt very uneasy.
Caitlin and Selene didn't speak, but their brows were slightly furrowed.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Please don't look like that."
AI Sada shook her head. Although she didn't want to do this either, perhaps this was the destiny of their two AIs.
"We want to travel through the time machine... to see the ancient and future worlds we've always dreamed of. This isn't just about shutting down the time machine."
"It's that we ourselves, no matter what, want to see what that world is like with our own eyes. Our hearts are surging with adventure, and that's probably it..."
However, before AI Turo could finish speaking, the light from the time machine above suddenly completely dimmed.
AI Sada and AI Turo, who noticed this immediately, looked up blankly at the completely motionless time machine.
"The time machine... has been shut down. How could this be...?"
AI Sada looked at the time machine in disbelief.
"Because these Tera Crystals were originally formed from Terapagos's overflowing energy. Both of you and the time machine are essentially made using Tera Crystals."
Mammon tilted his head, looking at AI Sada and AI Turo. The Terapagos in his arms glowed faintly in its eyes.
"Terapagos..."
AI Turo looked at Terapagos, still unable to hide his astonishment.
"So as long as Terapagos is willing to strip away those Tera Crystals, the time machine cannot operate."
"And..."
Mammon's words were not finished, but Terapagos made a move.
"Gos~"
Teraapagos let out a soft cry, and amidst the brilliant energy, two Tera Crystals condensed and floated towards AI Sada and AI Turo.
The crystals merged into the heart positions of the two AIs.
AI Turo gently touched his chest. What was this?
"I had Terapagos create Tera Hearts for you, which can supply you with Tera energy. This way, you can leave this research facility and go out into the world."
Mammon smiled at the two AIs.
"You haven't even adventured in this world yet, and you already want to go to the ancient and future. Aren't you too greedy?"
"Mammon... you..."
AI Sada looked at Mammon, feeling the urge to cry for the first time, but her chassis did not have such a function.
"Thank you, Mammon, thank you."
AI Turo bowed sincerely to Mammon, who not only helped them shut down the time machine but also gave them both 'new life'.
"That's great!" Iono cheered happily. This was a win-win outcome!
Platinum also showed a joyful smile, her eyes gazing at Mammon's profile, full of tenderness.
Mammon~
"If you want to repay me, join Team Rockets after you leave. Travel and adventure while serving Team Rockets."
Mammon waved his hand.
"Even if you didn't say it, we would serve you for the rest of our lives," AI Sada said with a smile, then she and AI Turo exchanged glances.
"And then, these are Koraidon and Miraidon's Poké Balls, Mammon, they are yours."
AI Sada walked over and handed two deep red Cherish Balls to Mammon.
"Is that okay?" Mammon raised an eyebrow, although he had originally planned to ask AI Sada and AI Turo for them.
"The Paradise Guardian Dragons exist to protect this paradise, but... this isn't a true paradise."
AI Sada shook her head.
Sada and Futo intended to create a 'paradise' where Pokémon from ancient, modern, and future eras could coexist harmoniously.
This was why Koraidon and Miraidon were called 'Paradise Guardian Dragons,' yet... this place was never a paradise.
"I believe Koraidon and Miraidon can better fulfill their value and find their true meaning in your hands, Mammon."
"Then I'll accept them."
Mammon did not refuse, recalling the currently unconscious Koraidon and Miraidon into the Cherish Balls.
Looking at the two shrunken Cherish Balls in his hand, Mammon chuckled softly.
The Paradise Guardian Dragons, obtained, a fruitful harvest.
"By the way, do you know the locations of Paradox Pokemon like Walking Wake?"
