Unfortunately, the thoughts of the ancient Alakazam had long been anticipated by the ancient Dragonite. Before the ancient Alakazam could even react, a beam of Ice shot out from the ancient Dragonite's mouth, striking its hands with precision and freezing the palms that were about to wield its psychic spoons.
Sensing the approach of the ancient Gengar, the ancient Dragonite erupted with a terrifying killing intent. In an instant, it intimidated the ancient Gengar. The ancient draconic pressure it emitted caused the ancient Gengar to reveal a fearful expression, falling into a state of hesitation and becoming unable to immediately unleash its attack.
A violet-gold draconic killing aura enveloped the ancient Dragonite's entire body, transforming it into a colossal energy dragon. Immediately afterward, the energy dragon opened its gaping maw and devoured the ancient Gengar whole.
"Boom—"
With a thunderous explosion echoing all around, as the smoke cleared, the ancient Gengar lay on the ground, covered in wounds.
At first, the ancient Gengar struggled to stand, but the ancient Dragonite struck its abdomen with a sweeping tail. The impact forced it to stagger backward several steps, crashing into and destroying the hillside behind it.
The ancient Gengar collapsed weakly onto the ground, choosing to admit defeat to the ancient Dragonite.
As for the people who had been swallowed into the ancient Gengar's body, they had long since fainted from the intense shaking during the earlier battle, each of them dizzy and disoriented.
But in a way, that was for the best. At least when they woke up, they would be able to escape from inside the ancient Gengar's body—some small consolation.
Afterward, the opinions of Ash's group of three, who had been watching the battle:
"This is just a one-sided stomp!" Brock complained.
"What were we even afraid of in the first place?" Misty added.
"Good thing brother knows the ancient Dragonite, otherwise our world would've been finished." Ash said leisurely, letting out a sigh of relief together with Pikachu.
"Strange… according to the prophecy, we humans were supposed to be completely helpless, only able to wait for the power that would calm everything and turn it all into a sphere before returning underground…"
At this moment, Eve fell into confusion. Although relieved that the world would not be destroyed, she began to doubt whether the prophecies of the ancient civilization she had studied were all wrong.
"Boom—"
Just then, the sound of battle once again caught Eve's attention. Observing the outline of the ancient Dragonite, she suddenly recalled the image of a giant dragon carved into the corner of the stone tablet. Beneath it, there also seemed to be inscriptions from the era of the Pokémonea civilization.
Filled with excitement and anticipation, Eve did not immediately share her thoughts with Ash's group. Instead, she turned and ran to the RV behind them, retrieving the stone tablet she had stored earlier.
Ash's group looked at the returning Eve in confusion, their eyes drawn to the tablet she was tightly holding in her arms.
"There really is another hidden prophecy in the corner of this tablet!" Eve said excitedly, delighted that her research had not been wrong and eager to discover what the next part of the prophecy would reveal.
"A gray dragon? A crimson hero? Trust the true sword-bearing hero?"
Eve grasped three key phrases and translated them, instantly drawing the attention of Ash's group.
"A gray dragon? Could it be referring to the ancient Dragonite?"
