Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [529]

Mewtwo eyed N, who had asked a strange question and then fallen into awkward silence. This human really is bizarre.

But Mewtwo didn’t need to understand N.

He just needed to defeat him quickly and get back to helping his Father!

Mewtwo's eyes flashed blue once more, and a torrent of psychic power surged forth, sending pebbles trembling and jumping across the ground.

Reshiram’s eyes narrowed in vigilance, its tail engine flaring intensely as it took a deep breath, briefly creating a near-vacuum around it.

Then—

"Roar!"

A brilliant azure flame erupted from Reshiram’s mouth, the surrounding air warping visibly from the extreme heat.

At the same instant, Mewtwo's immense psychic power compressed into a dense, tangible wave of mental energy and surged forth to meet the attack head-on.

[Blue Flare] versus [Psystrike]!

Unexpectedly, when the attacks collided, there was no explosion.

Instead, both forces clashed fiercely, sparks of bright blue flame scattering through the air as [Psystrike] repeatedly shattered [Blue Flare] into glittering embers.

In their hiding place, a single blue spark drifted down in front of Team Rocket’s trio. Jessie and James watched anxiously as Meowth poked the spark with a random stick he'd found.

Whoosh!

Seeing the stick instantly reduced to ashes, and the blue flame continue unobstructed to melt a small pit in the ground, the trio shrieked in terror and sprinted back down the stairs.

This time, they didn’t even dare peek their heads back out, fearing they'd end up like the stick—reduced to ashes.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket’s trio at the edge of the battlefield was actually the least affected.

The four Sages, including Vio, were faring far worse.

Standing near Reshiram, they bore the brunt of the fiery embers raining from above. Feeling death knocking at their door, they huddled tightly together, frantically relying on Vio’s Cryogonal to fire continuous [Ice Beams] to neutralize the descending blue embers.

In their panic, they completely failed to notice that Darkrai had vanished from their sight.

Across the field, Ghetsis—shielded safely by Kyurem—remained utterly unfazed as the blue embers fizzled out harmlessly around Kyurem’s icy aura.

Before Giovanni could even send out Nidoking to protect himself, he noticed Black quickly directing Zekrom to shield both of them.

Giovanni glanced at Black oddly.

Does this kid even know who I am? Why bother helping me?

Black turned and gave Giovanni a bright, toothy smile. "I really owe you one from earlier, Giovanni-san! You saved me, so I obviously won’t leave you hanging."

Black was evidently quite sincere in returning favors.

Hearing that, Giovanni’s expression turned even stranger.

So there’s still someone like Black among August’s subordinates who hasn’t been corrupted by him? That’s rare—I thought August had thoroughly infected the entire Kanto branch by now.

Quite refreshing, indeed…

Seeing this exchange, Ghetsis mistakenly thought he’d finally figured it out.

"So you've truly joined forces with the International Police, Giovanni. How disgraceful!"

A perfectly fine leader of Team Rocket willingly helping August—it was an embarrassment to villainy everywhere!

Facing such accusations, Giovanni had no patience to explain himself to an idiot like Ghetsis.

Seeing Giovanni’s silence, Ghetsis smugly assumed he'd hit a nerve and immediately ordered Kyurem to attack Giovanni and Zekrom.

Kyurem’s eyes flashed ominously as it began releasing its restrained power, gathering an icy sphere of energy in its jaws.

[Ice Beam]!

Giovanni instantly recognized the attack.

He glanced quickly at Zekrom, assessing that in its current battered state, it had no chance of surviving a direct hit.

That meant he had to stop Kyurem’s move at any cost.

"Move!" Giovanni shouted at Black, tossing out a Poké Ball.

The moment it appeared, Giovanni’s Kangaskhan, her baby safely tucked into her pouch, charged fiercely toward Kyurem.

Sighing internally at how many of his Pokémon August had already commandeered, Giovanni decisively ordered, "Kangaskhan, [Fake Out]!"

Kyurem had just finished charging. Ghetsis, already imagining how he'd humiliate Giovanni in a moment, was caught completely off guard.

Smack!

Kyurem’s massive head was suddenly slapped sideways.

[Fake Out]—a quick, disruptive strike!

Though [Fake Out] didn’t do much damage, the humiliation factor was huge, and more importantly, it broke Kyurem’s focus.

Caught off-guard, Kyurem accidentally unleashed [Ice Beam] prematurely, striking the distant Plasma battleship and freezing its bow solid.

Plasma grunts aboard scrambled to stabilize the vessel.

"[Brick Break]!" Giovanni pressed his advantage, directing Kangaskhan to smash its claws into Kyurem’s icy faceplate.

But Kyurem quickly recovered, intercepting Kangaskhan’s claws with its ice-bound wings.

"Kyurem, [Freeze-Dry]!" Ghetsis snarled furiously, finally snapping back to attention.

Giovanni’s [Fake Out] hadn’t just slapped Kyurem—it had slapped him directly in the face!

Kangaskhan needed to be finished immediately!

But Giovanni was far too cunning to allow that. Seeing no chance of victory, he recalled Kangaskhan swiftly, causing [Freeze-Dry] to hit nothing but empty air.

Freeze-Dry struck uselessly.

Looking at the livid Ghetsis, Giovanni patted the admiring Black’s shoulder, face darkly serious.

"Ghetsis is about to lose it. Prepare to run."

If he still had Mewtwo, Deoxys, or Necrozma, Giovanni wouldn’t hesitate to fight Ghetsis head-on. But now…

He shook his head.
August hadn’t even offered him anything—why should he risk his life without pay?

Black didn’t understand Giovanni’s logic; he only saw Giovanni expertly humiliating Ghetsis and nodded repeatedly, quickly climbing aboard Zekrom with Giovanni to dodge Kyurem’s furious pursuit.

Meanwhile, in the battlefield’s center, Colress shielded himself from [Blue Flare]’s residual flames by commanding his four Magneton bodyguards to form a protective triangular barrier identical to Deoxys’.

Noticing August’s glance, Colress smiled proudly, like a child showing off a new toy to his friends.

"I learned this move from a Gym Leader in Kanto who you arrested. How is it? Did I replicate it well?"

"Very accurate," August agreed honestly, then added before Colress could get too pleased, "But you could still imitate him even better…"

"Oh?"

"For example, by letting me personally toss you into a League prison where you won’t even get biscuits to snack on!"

The moment he finished speaking, a shadow rose beneath Colress’s feet. A black claw formed a Shadow Ball, throwing it violently upward.

Darkrai—[Shadow Ball]!

"What!?"

Caught completely off guard by the ambush beneath him, one of Colress’s four Magneton was instantly taken down, shattering the triangular barrier and sending Colress plummeting toward the ground.

Noticing their trainer in danger, the two Genesect immediately switched into their UFO-like high-speed forms to rescue him, but barely moved before being intercepted by a Gardevoir carrying a pink [Pixie Plate].

Gardevoir calmly crossed her hands before her chest. With a flash, her elegant white gown transformed into a flowing black evening dress.

Next…

Gardevoir gently closed her eyes, parted her lips, and began singing with an enchanting, melodious voice.

But to her enemies, this lovely voice was terrifying.

[Hyper Voice]

Empowered by [Pixilate], pale pink soundwaves burst outward in all directions, smashing the two Genesect aside.

Deoxys One and Two swiftly seized this opportunity, immediately pinning down Genesect and preventing them from aiding Colress.

Seeing Darkrai approaching and Gardevoir turning toward him, Colress instantly realized he was doomed unless he acted swiftly. He decisively threw out his Metagross and Magnezone to block Darkrai and Gardevoir, desperately screaming:

"Ghetsis, save me!"

He urgently called for Ghetsis’s aid.

Ghetsis, currently engrossed in relentlessly pursuing Giovanni and Black to vent his rage, darkened at Colress’s plea, initially wanting to ignore him completely.

But Colress shouted once more:

"I still have the [DNA Splicers]! You wouldn’t want—"

Ghetsis’s hand twitched, and with extreme reluctance, he turned around, forced to save Colress despite his fury.

Giovanni, seeing Ghetsis turn away, clearly understood how much trouble he could cause if he intervened again now.

But after glancing at August, between bravely helping and passively harassing Ghetsis, Giovanni chose instead to enjoy the chaos.

Again—August isn’t even paying me. Why would I risk my life?

"Shouldn’t we help Boss?" Black asked innocently.

Giovanni, enjoying himself immensely, just smiled. "Not necessary. Trust August’s strength."

Black nodded uncertainly. Then he noticed the Plasma battleship and his eyes lit up.

He couldn't beat Ghetsis, but regular Plasma grunts were definitely manageable.

Seeing where Black was looking, Giovanni’s expression grew calculating.

A perfect getaway vehicle…

Sharing a silent agreement, Giovanni and Black steered Zekrom toward the Plasma battleship.

August, carefully watching Giovanni, noticed their movements and initially frowned—but soon relaxed.

Whatever—Deoxys has his scent anyway. He won’t get far.

Ignoring Giovanni, August turned his attention to Ghetsis and Kyurem, who had now intercepted Darkrai.

At this point, the battered Seven Sages joined Ghetsis and Colress as backup.

Yet August remained entirely unfazed despite being alone against so many. Instead, he even had the leisure to mock Ghetsis:

"You don’t look so good, Ghetsis. Feeling cold standing atop Kyurem?"

Ghetsis sneered triumphantly, "August, you're finished. Giovanni and your subordinate abandoned you. Do you honestly think you alone can defeat all of Team Plasma?"

August smiled lightly at Ghetsis’s confidence.

He simply snapped his fingers, and with a mischievous giggle, Hoopa appeared behind him.

"Heehee, Hoopa is the strongest!"

Laughing playfully, the small, cute Hoopa removed the [Prison Bottle]’s stopper.

Instantly, Hoopa’s body expanded dramatically, transforming into a towering six-armed giant.

Before Team Plasma could react, Hoopa’s six rings detached and expanded, forming massive portals.

Under Plasma’s astonished gaze, legendary Pokémon emerged one after another:

Dialga, Palkia, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Kyogre…and Groudon, who promptly crashed to the ground like a boulder.

August spread his arms dramatically.

"You asked if I have the strength to face your entire organization alone? Let me answer clearly…"

"Hello—yes, I do!"
