Chapter 452: Two Alvas!
Fortunately.
Although Volcanion came to them seeking help, the main reason was because he couldn't find Magearna, not because the enemy was too strong.
Since this is the case.
Then Will and Cynthia can also help.
"Where to fly?"
"Where else could it be, that one!"
Will and Cynthia raised their hands and pointed at the same time.
The tall castle located in the center of the Azoth Kingdom.
"Okay!"
Volcanion nodded, increased horsepower, and rushed towards that castle at an extremely fast speed.
After flying a certain distance.
Will closed his eyes.
"Wait, I felt an Aura of confusion and fear; this Aura is weakening. If no accident, Magearna is... in the sky."
Will reopened his eyes, his gaze looking at the sky above the castle.
White clouds shielded the sky.
But Will could feel something existed there.
But the distance of that thing was getting farther.
He could only feel some edge parts now.
"Fly up? Or go to the castle below?"
"Go up."
"Okay!"
Volcanion deeply believed Will's judgment.
Maybe because he had contacted enough Aura Guardians and understood Aura Power enough.
Volcanion adjusted direction.
In a few seconds, broke through the cloud layer.
However, the scene in front of them stunned the three of them.
Above the cloud layer.
There was a huge flying ship!
"Oh no, looks like we're a bit late; this thing was activated after all."
Will frowned.
This thing can fly into the sky, so naturally it can fire cannons.
One shot from that weapon, the theoretical effect could directly destroy the Nebel Plateau; the practical effect is only 100% Zygarde could block it.
Don't know if this thing itself was designed to have such great power.
Or because Magearna's level is high enough, so it can release such great power.
Anyway.
The most urgent task is to hurry up and rescue Magearna; don't let this thing fire.
Zygarde is not here.
Relying on his and Volcanion's strength, probably couldn't block it.
Pity Victini is not beside.
Otherwise.
Letting Victini boost Volcanion, not saying catching up to Zygarde's strength, blocking this railgun would still be no problem anyway.
"Damn it! Magearna!!"
Volcanion's eyes turned red, accelerating and rushing over.
Now it's certain.
Magearna is on this flying fortress.
Because only Magearna's Soul-Heart can make it activate.
"Cynthia, I'll go get the Soul-Heart later, protect yourself."
"Mm, Lucario don't worry about me, I'll cover you."
Cynthia nodded gently, holding the Poké Ball of Garchomp at her waist in her hand.
The flying fortress in the sky suspected to have discovered their existence.
Only saw a few gun emplacements mounted on the hull of the spaceship turn their direction aiming at them.
"Volcanion, attack is coming, pay attention to dodge!"
Will glared, holding Cynthia tightly with one arm, using Aura Power with the other hand to stabilize Volcanion's emotions.
If Volcanion lost his rationality or couldn't dodge those attacks.
Then he would immediately hold Cynthia soaring into the sky, using the power of the Sea Crown to arrive on the deck of the spaceship first.
Bang bang bang!
Countless bullets like fireballs were constantly shot out by those gun emplacements, continuous and swift almost converging into lines of fire snakes.
At this time Will discovered.
Those might not be gun emplacements.
But machine guns with huge calibers.
Volcanion didn't have any superb dodging skills, purely relying on his own speed to approach the flying fortress along an arc.
In just seven or eight seconds.
Volcanion crashed headfirst into the wall of the flying fortress, crashing out a huge hole.
And Will incarnated as Minato, holding Cynthia in a princess carry making a leap in advance, then landed steadily on the deck.
"Handsome or not."
Will grinned, raising his chin pretending to be proud.
"Most handsome."
Cynthia curved her eyebrows, showing a soft smile.
Although it sounded like a casual agreement, Cynthia's words didn't have half a point of deception.
Will could feel.
Cynthia really thought so.
This made him couldn't help blushing with an old face.
Saying himself is handsome didn't feel like anything, others saying he is handsome to his face, really makes people a bit embarrassed.
"Hey, now is not the time to flirt, someone is coming!"
Volcanion flew out from the hole, pointing his arm forward.
Will and Cynthia turned to look.
It was exactly the Azoth Kingdom's minister Alva.
Alva at this time was only 27 or 28 years old; he didn't have that walking stick developed using "innovative mysterious science" in his hand either.
But even so.
Will didn't dare to underestimate this person.
"Charizard, Flamethrower!"
Alva raised his hand and threw.
A Poké Ball opened in the air; a Charizard immediately flew out.
After Charizard appeared, immediately opened his big mouth towards them, spewing out raging fire.
"Garchomp, Dragon Breath!"
Cynthia chose to let big mother shark fight Charizard.
This is actually a pretty good choice.
Although Charizard's Flying typing is immune to Garchomp's Ground-type.
But Garchomp also mastered many Rock-type moves, having a 4 times countering effect on Charizard.
And according to Will's observation, this Charizard's level should be four or five levels lower than Garchomp.
However.
Something unexpected to Will happened.
"Roar..."
A touch of fear actually flashed in Garchomp's eyes looking at Charizard.
As if this Charizard's Ability was Pressure.
This is a very rare thing.
Will had never felt the emotion of fear on Garchomp; this was the first time.
But fortunately.
Garchomp's fear came fast and went fast; stabilized her emotion in a few seconds.
"You guys go save Magearna, leave this to me."
Cynthia stood in front of Will and Volcanion.
Blonde-kun's long hair fluttered with the wind; her back looked full of heroic spirit and free and easy.
If her hair was a bit longer, and wearing a cape on her back, that would really be quite handsome.
"Always be careful of the things that guy takes out; if really can't win, let Garchomp take you to run first."
Will specifically entrusted a sentence.
This guy Alva cannot be underestimated.
Not saying Alva is such a powerful trainer, but because he is also a mysterious scientist who can be called a genius, even created the path of "innovative mysterious science".
In the original work.
Which is more than ten years later, Alva had two powerful innovative mysterious science creations in his hand.
One is the [Capture Band].
Connected through invisible electromagnetic pulse chains, tightly tying the two ends bound by the band together.
In the anime, this thing could even tie Super Pallet Towner Ash and Volcanion together; and it couldn't be cut with ordinary cutting machines, had to rely on the power of Pokémon.
The other is the [Mega Wave].
As the name implies, it is a power that can ignore the bond between Pokémon and trainer, forcibly making several Pokémon Mega Evolve.
The effect is very powerful.
But correspondingly, the side effects are also relatively ruthless.
First, Pokémon Mega Evolving through this power will be very painful.
Second, although this kind of Mega Evolution doesn't need the bond between trainer and Pokémon as a medium, it consumes the potential and lifespan of the Pokémon to activate.
Similar powers are not only possessed by Alva; Team Flare and Team Rocket are suspected to also master technologies with similar effects in their hands; don't know if it's related to Alva.
But undeniably.
Alva's attainments in the field of mysterious science are indeed extraordinary.
Just a pity he didn't walk the right path.
Will led Volcanion passing by the side.
Alva only glanced at them, didn't stop them, and there was no worry in his eyes either.
Will roughly guessed the reason through perception.
He could perceive Magearna's Aura.
But could also perceive.
In the place where Magearna was, there was also the Aura of another creature.
Presumably that was the reason Alva was not flustered.
Similarly.
This is the reason Will didn't choose to stay by Cynthia's side.
On one hand.
Cynthia is no longer a child.
But a powerful trainer with Gym Leader level strength.
As long as that Alva didn't take out that walking stick that should appear more than ten years later capable of releasing Mega Waves, then he couldn't be Cynthia's opponent.
On the other hand.
He wasn't sure what level the guy guarding beside Magearna was.
But seeing Alva's secure appearance.
Presumably wouldn't be simple goods.
Just in case, Volcanion gets dragged by the opponent taking the opportunity to fire cannons.
Will decided to go together.
When they went all the way forward, advancing towards the suspected location of the cockpit.
Will's pupils shrank slightly, reminding a sentence:
"Careful, something is coming."
His voice just fell.
Only saw a Metagross fully four meters tall attacking rapidly.
Will perceived his approach in advance, but his body's speed was a beat slower.
Bang!
A heavy Meteor Mash knocked Will flying out in one strike, uncontrollably doing three somersaults on the ground before stopping his figure.
Volcanion beside reached out both hands, intending to blast him flying with Flamethrower.
Result before he could spew fire.
Was knocked back four or five meters by Metagross's Bullet Punch.
"This guy..."
Will raised his head, eyes full of shock.
This Metagross's stats not only completely crushed him, but even overwhelmed Volcanion!
This is probably already an upper-level Champion Pokémon!
Creak.
The iron door of the cockpit was opened.
A figure walked out from inside.
When he appeared, Will and Volcanion's faces changed at the same time.
"How is it possible?!"
Will closed his eyes and perceived.
Confirmed Alva was still fighting Cynthia.
Then.
What's with this person in front of them who can be called the old version of Alva?!
That's right.
The person appearing in front of them.
Was like another Alva.
Only looking like an Alva in his fifties or sixties.
Alva's grandfather? Or... future Alva?!
Will's heart moved, thinking of a bad possibility.
He could travel back to a thousand years ago through the power of dragon veins.
Then does this Kalos also have some power he doesn't know, that can let a person travel from the future back to decades ago?
