Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [449]

Yveltal, the legendary Aura Pokémon, could radiate a Dark Aura that amplified Dark-type moves and had the terrifying ability to drain life itself.

At this moment, Lysandre and Team Flare also noticed the surrounding changes.

Sensing Yveltal's oppressive presence, wild Pokémon around Vaniville Town panicked, fleeing desperately in every direction.

Bunnelby hopped frantically, flocks of Fletchling took to the skies in panic, and even a solitary Metapod desperately wriggled, determined to escape.

Luckily, a helpful Butterfree grabbed the struggling Metapod—otherwise, August feared it might wiggle for an entire year without leaving the forest.

"Yveltal is here! Everyone, stay alert!" Xerosic shouted, eyes locked on the Pokémon overhead as he quickly organized Team Flare's defenses.

Interestingly, even in such chaos, Lysandre ordered his subordinates to clear paths for the fleeing wild Pokémon. From this perspective, beneath his fanaticism lay a certain gentleness—albeit heavily overshadowed by his twisted mindset.

Yveltal, however, completely ignored Team Flare, instead letting out a piercing cry, its gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

Following Yveltal’s line of sight, everyone saw Xerneas appear—a majestic creature cloaked in blues and blacks, its branching horns radiating soft, pastel hues.

As Xerneas approached, its [Fairy Aura] spread, quickly neutralizing Yveltal’s oppressive [Dark Aura]. Plants and Pokémon that had previously wilted under Yveltal’s aura suddenly sprang back to life.

"Whooo~!"

Xerneas raised its head gracefully, locking eyes with Yveltal.

The two legendary Pokémon glared at each other fiercely, capturing everyone's attention.

But at that moment, August felt something tugging persistently at his pants leg.

Looking down, he saw "Persian" clinging tightly, staring up at him with wide, pleading eyes.

[GardevoirSupremacy]: It’s a tense moment. Can you take it seriously?

[Persian]: Mew~!

[GardevoirSupremacy]: You even changed your username for this?

August shook his head helplessly. But Mew, disguised as Persian, stubbornly kept tugging, forcing August to finally relent and pull out a handful of Special Pokéblocks.

However, the instant August brought out the Pokéblocks, both Yveltal and Xerneas simultaneously shifted their gazes, staring directly at August and Mew.

Team Flare noticed the sudden change in attention, mistakenly believing they’d been discovered. Tension filled their ranks as they worried the two legends might wipe them out first.

Only Sabrina, intimately familiar with August’s antics, immediately turned her head suspiciously toward him.

Sure enough, she saw August quietly feeding "Persian."

Sabrina: "..."

Of course it had something to do with August.

[GardevoirSupremacy]: Ahem!

August hastily shoved the Pokéblocks into Mew’s paws, quickly composing himself as the perfect Rocket executive.

The moment the Pokéblocks were fully in Mew’s grasp, Yveltal and Xerneas’ gaze focused sharply on it.

[GardevoirSupremacy]: Hurry and hide those! Lysandre will notice!

Mew quickly looked toward August’s shadow, hoping Gengar would help conceal her stash—but Gengar clearly had no intention of showing itself.

Seeing the two legends fixated on her Pokéblocks, Mew panicked—those were her snacks!

In desperation, she suddenly opened her mouth wide and stuffed all the Pokéblocks inside in one massive gulp.

With the tempting aura gone, Yveltal and Xerneas finally turned their attention back to each other.

Seeing this, Team Flare collectively exhaled in relief, grateful they'd survived the supposed threat.

But while Team Flare relaxed, Mew’s face was swollen comically, cheeks bulging like an Alolan Persian that had just eaten far too much.

Mew stared helplessly at August for assistance.

Then… she watched, shocked, as August quietly pulled out his phone, took a photo, and broke into an utterly shameless grin.

"Mew…!!"

Infuriated, Mew swiped at him angrily.

[GardevoirSupremacy]: Calm down, Mew!

Though he said it aloud, August’s hands didn't stop, cheerfully saving the photo to his "Silly Mew" meme folder.

Sabrina, watching from the side, was completely speechless.

Are you two seriously flirting at a time like this? Aren't you worried about Lysandre noticing something strange?

She glanced quickly at Lysandre—fortunately, he was fully absorbed watching the legendary Pokémon, oblivious to August and Mew’s antics.

However, Xerosic, one of Lysandre’s men, watched "Archer," the Rocket Executive, and "Giovanni’s Persian" interacting, deeply puzzled.

A subordinate openly flirting with his boss’s Pokémon?

Is Team Rocket always this bizarre?

Weird... but oddly entertaining.

Xerosic stole another glance.

...

Just as August finally calmed down Mew, Yveltal and Xerneas, free from distraction, began their confrontation in earnest.

Yveltal’s body glowed with dark crimson energy, intensifying its [Dark Aura] as it hovered ominously in the sky.

Xerneas also shifted from its relaxed mode to its Active Mode, golden markings illuminating its body, horns radiating a magnificent rainbow glow, and [Fairy Aura] fully unleashed, countering Yveltal’s darkness.

"It’s beginning," August murmured.

Immediately, Yveltal made the first move, spreading its wings and tail wide, forming a clear Y shape in the sky. Black energy surged around it, transforming into a torrential [Dark Pulse] cascading downward toward Xerneas.

Everything the wave touched instantly withered—trees and grass alike.

Xerneas responded decisively, eyes narrowing sharply. Raising one slender hoof, it slammed it firmly onto the ground. Its horns burst forth with dazzling, blinding light:

[Dazzling Gleam]

Light and darkness collided violently in midair, unleashing an enormous shockwave. Trees shattered instantly, uprooted by the explosive aftermath.

Seeing this, Lysandre urgently ordered his subordinates, "Prepare for impact!"

But before anyone could react, a calm voice interjected behind him.

"Leave this to me."

"Giovanni" stepped forward resolutely. "Deoxys!"

Deoxys appeared instantly, shifting swiftly into Defense Forme and projecting a massive barrier—[Light Screen]—shielding Team Flare and Vaniville Town.

BOOM!

The shockwave crashed heavily against the barrier, rattling it fiercely, but ultimately dissipated harmlessly.

"We blocked it!"

Team Flare, hearts pounding in anxiety, breathed a huge sigh of relief, sending grateful glances toward "Giovanni."

Though the clash had merely been a shockwave, it was undeniably lethal to ordinary trainers. Without Giovanni’s timely intervention, Team Flare likely would've lost several members.

Lysandre personally thanked Giovanni, filled with newfound admiration. If only they'd met earlier, their two organizations might have achieved far more.

Meanwhile, Yveltal and Xerneas paid no attention to Deoxys’ intervention. Completely consumed by their duel, neither spared any effort to notice anything beyond their opponent.

Yveltal fiercely swung its wings and tail, unleashing a barrage of enormous [Air Slashes] toward Xerneas.

Xerneas swiftly leaped aside, gracefully dodging the attacks that sliced through the trees behind it like butter.

As long-time rivals, Xerneas knew Yveltal’s weaknesses intimately. Between its branching horns, a glowing blue orb of icy energy formed rapidly, draining all nearby warmth. The surrounding trees and ground quickly frosted over.

[Ice Beam]

The freezing beam shot forward instantly. Yveltal, already cautious, narrowly evaded, the attack grazing past and leaving a thin layer of frost on its wing.

Seeing this terrifying display, the Team Flare trainers anxiously questioned their mission.

Could they really capture such formidable Pokémon?

August, quietly observing their anxiety, shook his head.

The quality of Team Flare’s trainers this generation really leaves much to be desired…

"Mr. Archer, something troubling you?" Xerosic asked suddenly.

August took a full second to realize he was being addressed—still unused to his "Archer" alias.

Maintaining a casual façade, he replied smoothly, "Not troubling exactly. Just disappointed in Team Flare’s overall strength."

Xerosic, surprisingly, nodded fervently in agreement.

"I’m glad someone else recognizes it too," Xerosic said earnestly.

August: "?"

I’m criticizing your entire organization. Why do you look so pleased?

Xerosic eagerly elaborated, "I realized long ago our trainers lack the necessary fighting spirit. Despite ample funding, motivation has always been a struggle."

"So I've been researching a solution…"

August raised an eyebrow, feigning interest.

"The E-Battle Suit Project!" Xerosic explained passionately. "Advanced battle suits enhance trainers’ capabilities and use artificial personalities to bolster fighting resolve."

August hesitated. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I thought Team Flare and Team Rocket could collaborate! I provide technology; you provide real combat data. Together, we'll revolutionize the Pokémon world!"

"With our suits, neither Pokémon League Inspectors nor International Police could oppose us!"

Xerosic’s expression turned fanatical.

August smiled diplomatically. "An interesting idea…"

But… I am the International Police.

Inwardly finishing the sentence, August acknowledged the suit posed real danger to the League—mass-produced versions would undoubtedly strengthen their foes.

But perhaps he could use this technology to benefit the League instead…

Telling Xerosic they’d discuss it further, August turned his attention back to the raging battle.

Xerneas and Yveltal were now fighting all-out, devastating the landscape utterly. Without August’s protection, Vaniville Town would have been obliterated already.

While perhaps not matching Groudon and Kyogre’s catastrophic scale, destroying a small town was effortless for these two legends.

Their conflicting auras split the sky neatly into two halves—

One dark, brimming with malicious energy; the other glowing gently, like a pink dream.

Mew tilted her head innocently: "Mew?"
