Chapter 557: Giratina's Sneak Attack
The Shadow of Hoopa ran away.
It absolutely didn't dare to fight Will, even forcefully calling the Creation Trio (Dialga & Palkia) over to stall him.
And Giratina used a signature move, Shadow Force, diving into the alternate dimension and never appearing again, its whereabouts unknown.
Having lost its target, Rayquaza originally planned to come help Will.
But the latter threw a look at it from afar.
The meaning was for Rayquaza to keep an eye on the Shadow of Hoopa; the Creation Trio weren't the main focus.
Will believed he could stall two puppets without thought or consciousness, even if these two puppets each controlled one of the most powerful authorities in this world.
And what surprised him was.
Rayquaza understood Will's meaning from far away.
It directly turned around and pursued the Shadow of Hoopa.
Although Rayquaza doesn't understand martial arts, relying on its speed and physical attack strength, it can always find an opportunity to whip the Shadow of Hoopa with its tail.
If it could land a Dragon Ascent, the Shadow of Hoopa might even lose nearly half its life.
"This is still the first time I've met you two..."
Will turned his head.
Looking at the Creation Trio surrounding him on his left and right, his expression gradually became gloomy.
More accurately.
It wasn't the first time they met.
In his previous life, through the Time Flower, Will saw with his own eyes how the Lucario was killed by these two idiots.
So Will's impression of these two goods was extremely poor.
Dialga and Palkia fight completely regardless of the life or death of all things in the world. They belong to the absolute chaotic neutral faction, not much better than infamous fierce gods like Yveltal and Giratina.
Everyone says Groudon and Kyogre are the two idiots.
How much better are these gods of space and time than them?
The more Will thought about it, the more irritable he became. He closed his eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared from his spot.
He kicked out at the closer Palkia with the fastest speed.
Only to see Palkia raise its hand and wave.
A huge pink-white blade of light swept towards the direction where Will was.
Palkia's signature move, the Dragon-type Spacial Rend!
To say how fast Spacial Rend is.
It's really not that fast.
Will's eyes were tightly closed, relying entirely on Aura to see.
When Spacial Rend scraped in front of him, Will dodged sideways, preparing to evade it.
However, Spacial Rend is no ordinary flying slash attack.
It's a special slash that tears the space around the slash along with it, incorporating the power of space.
Will evaded the main body of Spacial Rend, but because he was too close, he was affected by the spatial distortion power surrounding the slash.
Just by brushing past Spacial Rend.
Will felt his left arm being torn and dislocated by an inexplicable force.
"Tsk."
He raised his right hand and twisted it on his left arm, and his left arm was instantly repaired.
Unfortunately, the rhythm of his attack was interrupted, making Will unavoidably pause in mid-air at this moment.
What he found troublesome right now.
Was not the spatial distortion effect attached to Spacial Rend.
But that guy Palkia being able to keep up with his speed.
If it were an ordinary Pokémon or a regular god.
They probably wouldn't be able to react to Will's over-speed combination technique of 'Extreme Speed plus Agility'.
Either.
Palkia's base stats are much higher than Will's.
Or.
Palkia's exclusive ability allows it to capture fluctuations in space, finding Will's real-time location.
Regardless.
Will's speed advantage was considered ineffective in front of Palkia.
Boom!
A huge roar came from behind him.
Without a word, Will immediately flew to the side.
Having learned from previous mistakes, this time he didn't act carelessly. The magnitude of his dodge was quite exaggerated, wishing he could translate dozens of meters to the side.
Within Dialga's incandescent light, the Roar of Time reflecting the colors of the universe flashed past.
Will didn't hesitate, immediately changing his target at the first moment.
He leaped in front of Dialga with the fastest speed, a spinning kick Close Combat, heavily kicking Dialga on the head with tremendous force.
Satisfying!!
Will pursed his lips.
Having a certain degree of understanding of moves is still quite important.
He exactly knew that after using Roar of Time, the body would fall into a momentary stiffness, which is why he immediately changed targets and struck boldly.
And Fighting-type moves.
Are one of the only two types that can deal significant damage to the Steel Dragon Dialga.
Steel and Dragon.
This combination sounds terrifying just hearing it.
Even more overpowered than Lucario's Fighting and Steel.
It's just that right now Dialga has no consciousness.
Otherwise, this hit would definitely make its head buzz.
A successful strike.
Will didn't get greedy, immediately flipping up and riding onto Dialga's nose.
At this kind of time, the big problem of having a brainless teammate with friendly fire still on arose.
Palkia beside them completely didn't care about Dialga, opening its mouth and spewing out a Draco Meteor.
Will took the opportunity to jump backward.
Boom!
Draco Meteor successfully hit Dialga, dealing damage to the latter again.
The moves struck by gods of the same level are just different.
Will's Close Combat kick merely made Dialga translate a few meters in mid-air.
While Palkia's Draco Meteor straightforwardly blasted Dialga flying dozens of meters away.
"Heh."
Will grinned.
He estimated that even if Palkia were awake at this moment, it would also unhesitatingly launch the attack.
After all, given the grudges accumulated over hundreds of millions of years between the gods of space and time, it would be more than happy to violently strike Dialga under the pretext of attacking the enemy.
Boom!
The Dialga flying backward heavily crashed and shattered a building.
The building collapsed.
Rubble flew everywhere.
On the street on the other side of the building.
"Chespin, keep going! We can definitely do it! We're almost there!"
A little girl stopped in place, panting heavily.
Her name is Chespie (Actually, her name is likely Mairin, as she has a Chespin. Wait, 'Xunxiang' might be a typo or an original character, but the description matches Mairin, who has a Chespin. Let's use 'Mairin').
She is an eight-year-old quasi-rookie trainer.
Although she hasn't turned ten yet, because she achieved excellent grades in the Pokémon School, she obtained the qualification to receive a starter Pokémon in advance.
And the partner she chose.
Is precisely the Kalos region Grass-type starter, the Spiny Nut Pokémon Chespin.
Today they were attending class at the Pokémon School.
The city suddenly started shaking, and many terrifying big guys were fighting back and forth in the sky.
The originally clear sky suddenly became densely covered with thick clouds, and after a few minutes, a rainstorm even started.
The principal and teachers couldn't run away carrying hundreds of children and Pokémon, and could only hide in the basement, praying for this disaster to end quickly.
But Mairin couldn't stay peacefully in the basement.
Because her older brother with a limp was still doing volunteer work in the orphanage two streets away!
There was only the director alone in the orphanage.
The rest were all children and young Pokémon.
They definitely wouldn't have time to escape, let alone have a basement to use for shelter.
Mairin was very worried about her brother.
So she decided, together with Chespin, to bring everyone from the orphanage to the school's basement!
They believed they could do it!
After all, the distance between the orphanage and the Pokémon School was very close.
The mayor of Dahara City, for the convenience of the children in the orphanage going to school, specifically arranged the Pokémon School in such a location.
"Hari~" (Ches~)
Chespin ran happily in front.
As if completely oblivious to the natural disaster surrounding them.
Boom!
Suddenly.
The building nearby violently snapped, and Dialga's huge body fell towards the ground carrying countless giant boulders.
Mairin raised her head and saw this scene, freezing directly in place, her body trembling, having completely forgotten how to run away.
"Hari!"
Chespin jumped up at the first moment, pressing Mairin underneath it.
Chespin's head and back are very hard, can protect Mairin!
With such determination.
Chespin tried hard to make the spikes on its head even harder, closing its eyes and waiting for the giant boulders to smash down.
"Inkay!"
A boy's exclamation rang out.
A small octopus Pokémon rushed to Mairin and Chespin's side at extremely high speed, grabbed them, and rolled into the alley nearby.
The rescued Mairin and Chespin raised their heads, looking at the people who appeared in the alley:
"Thank you older brothers and sister, who are you?"
This question.
Was like triggering some switch.
"Since you asked sincerely!"
"Then I will answer you compassionately!"
After reciting a set of lines.
The identity of the newcomers was also finally revealed.
It was precisely the Team Rocket trio who had been chasing Ash for over five years!
"Bastards! Pay attention when you fight! Can't you see there are children here!"
James roared angrily at the sky.
"That's right, that's right! What kind of heroes are you!"
Jessie also waved her fists and cursed loudly.
However, absolutely no one paid attention to them.
After getting up, Dialga headed straight for Will.
At the same time, Palkia on the other side also launched an attack again.
Will looked left and right.
Stomped his foot and flew backward.
Exactly at this moment.
Giratina, who had disappeared for a long time, drilled out from the world of shadows.
By the time Will sensed the Aura suddenly appearing behind him, it was too late to dodge.
Not to mention Palkia's Water Pulse and Dialga's Flash Cannon in front of him had arrived simultaneously.
Giratina behind him used its signature move Shadow Force, taking a bite at Will's stomach, and like a dog, kept shaking its head, tearing and widening Will's wound.
"Ahhh!!"
Feeling the tearing sensation coming from both sides of his abdomen, a painful cry couldn't help surging out of Will's mouth.
Boom! x2
The Water Pulse and Flash Cannon ruthlessly bombarded Will and Giratina's heads, setting off a violent explosion.
Giratina was instantly blasted flying far away.
Although Will also suffered not a little damage, relying on the Splash Plate and his resistance to Steel-type moves, it was somewhat more bearable.
The crucial thing was.
The attacks of the Creation Trio saved him from Giratina's mouth.
In that instant just now.
Will thought he was going to be bitten in half by Giratina.
"That guy..."
While Will vigilantly watched his surroundings, he hurriedly raised a hand to apply Life Dew and Heal Pulse.
He originally thought Giratina disappearing was according to the Shadow of Hoopa's intention to sneak attack Dahara Tower.
As a result.
That guy had actually been waiting for an opportunity to backstab people all along?!
And even set its target on him, who already had the greatest pressure at this moment!
"That guy... seems to have recovered a bit of consciousness?!"
Will muttered.
The Aura he felt from Giratina just now was slightly different from the other five Legendary Pokémon.
Regardless of what was going on.
The current situation is quite bad.
While Will contends against the Creation Trio, he also has to constantly guard against Giratina, who is waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack.
Right now.
He can only pin his hopes on the operation over at Dahara Tower ending as soon as possible.
