Silence filled the arena.
Two Pokémon down.
Only one remained.
Standing on the flooded battlefield—
Elior gripped his final Pokéball.
Across from him—
Leviadon stood like an unstoppable force.
Beside it, calm and unwavering—
Nerion.
"Show me… your answer."
Elior took a breath.
"…Lunashade."
He threw the Pokéball.
A shadow spread across the water—
Lunashade emerged.
Silent.
Still.
But different.
Its eyes glowed… darker than before.
Pressure of the Ocean
"Leviadon—Crushing Wave."
The attack came instantly.
A massive surge of water—
Overwhelming.
Elior reacted:
"Move!"
Lunashade dodged—
But barely.
The pressure was too much.
Something Feels Wrong
Elior frowned.
"…Lunashade?"
It wasn't responding normally.
Its body trembled slightly.
Its shadow stretched unnaturally.
The air grew heavy.
Cold.
Leviadon attacked again.
This time—
Lunashade didn't dodge.
The wave hit.
Direct.
Smoke and water exploded.
"LUNASHADE!" Elior shouted.
****
Silence.
Then—
Dark energy began to leak from the smoke.
Not controlled.
Not stable.
Wild.
Violent.
The water around the battlefield started to darken.
Even Nerion's expression shifted slightly.
"…This energy…"
From the shadows—
Lunashade rose.
But not the same.
Its form had changed.
Design Shift
Body larger and more distorted
Shadow flames leaking constantly
Eyes glowing deep crimson
Aura unstable… almost tearing space
Elior's eyes widened.
"…What… is this…?"
Lunashade didn't look at him.
It stared only at Leviadon.
Pure rage.
Pure instinct.
Uncontrolled Power
Without command—
It attacked.
Instantly.
Faster than before.
Stronger than before.
It struck Leviadon—
Forcing it back.
For the first time—
Leviadon moved.
Nerion's eyes narrowed.
"…It pushed Leviadon back…?"
But something was wrong.
This wasn't control.
This was destruction.
Elior's Struggle
"Lunashade—stop!"
No response.
"Listen to me!"
Still nothing.
The shadow grew stronger.
More unstable.
Elior clenched his fist.
"…This isn't right…"
The battlefield began to crack.
Water twisted unnaturally.
Even the gym system struggled to stabilize.
Nerion spoke seriously:
"If this continues… it will destroy everything."
Elior stepped forward.
"…Lunashade!"
For a moment—
The shadow flickered.
Its eyes shifted slightly.
It heard him.
But the rage returned instantly.
Stronger.
Lunashade gathered massive dark energy—
A final, uncontrolled attack forming.
Leviadon roared in response.
The entire arena trembled.
Elior's eyes widened.
"…If that hits…"
Everything could collapse.
Elior stepped forward into the raging battlefield.
Water and shadow swirling around him.
His voice steady—
but desperate:
"Lunashade… come back to me!"
Lunashade froze for a split second—
Its glowing eyes turned toward Elior.
Conflict.
Rage.
Pain.
And the journey continues....
