A silver-white trail arced across the darkness of space, as if fired from a bow—the white light wrapped around his body, carrying him like an arrow loosed toward safety.
Sora watched those hands vanish into the blaze. In the end, all that remained before his eyes was the ever-expanding golden-orange inferno.
The force that had carried him dissipated just as he neared the ship, and Boothill—already standing by—reached out to pull him aboard.

Life is born from the stars—that is the gentleness of a star.
But the Day of Destruction is the side of the stars that embodies annihilation.
And the most destructive force a star can wield lies in its energy and heat.
On a star’s surface, temperatures can reach tens of millions of degrees—enough to obliterate all forms of life.
Even the War Foundries that forged the Antimatter Legion barely reach the temperatures of a star’s outer shell at their core....

The Aeon of Destruction—Nanook—was infamous across the entire galaxy.
Reckless, furious, and ruinous, Nanook embodied Destruction in its rawest form.
Regarded by the Antimatter Legion and the Annihilationists as the god of obliteration, Nanook was the last of the known Aeons to emerge—yet its name had risen to the very top of the “most hated beings in the galaxy” list in record time.
Compared to the Aeon of Abundance, Yaoshi—whose “healing” ...

"The kids have all been moved into a higher-grade isolation chamber now..."
Sitting calmly in the palm of a Doomsday Beast, Sora spoke through the commlink to Anna. Their conversation centered on one thing—the children.
Anna’s face had brightened considerably. There was even a flicker of hope shimmering in her eyes.
“They say the chamber's built to military-grade specs. Supposedly it can block out the power of the Aeons to some degree. If that's true... the ch...

BOOM!!
A deafening explosion rang out, flames surging across the scorched earth.
Before the fire could even settle, a figure shot skyward from the blaze—piercing into the open air.
It was Sora. Another Doomsday Beast had just fallen to his hand.
But as he rose above the battlefield, he realized the fight wasn’t over—not even close. Across the planet, thunderous detonations echoed on all sides.
Some Rangers rained firepower from ships overhead. Othe...

“What, I’m not even allowed to be seen off properly now?”
Roxy pouted, cheeks puffed out in frustration as she glared at Allen, who was lounging in the carriage with his sword in his arms like he hadn’t a care in the world.
“I—I thought you were coming with me to be an adventurer! But instead you…”
When Allen had first jumped aboard, he’d explained he was only escorting her for a bit. Roxy, who had been all smiles, was immediately left completely flustered...

“There’s a type of pack monster near the Red Dragon Mountains called the Assault Dogs,” Roxy said, her voice soft beneath the flickering candlelight. “Territorial and aggressive. Individually, they’re only ranked E-class—low attack power, easy to kill. But once they move as a group, adventurers generally treat them as an A-rank threat. A few hundred attacking all at once can be a nightmare to deal with.”
They’d already watched the fireworks. By all logic, it should’ve ...

Rudeus let out a quiet sigh in his heart.
But Allen’s words and actions just moments ago made it impossible for him to continue sulking like a child.
From the look on Allen’s face, Rudeus could tell—he truly believed he would see Roxy again. That much was clear.
So this guy really does plan to go out and find Roxy in the future... maybe even travel the world with her as an adventurer.
To be honest, I’ve said similar things before, but deep down, I...

In the end, Roxy resigned herself to the reality that she’d unintentionally picked up another stray disciple.
Rudeus might have had greater innate talent, but when it came to being a teacher, Roxy was clearly more qualified. The entire afternoon was spent with her patiently, methodically guiding Sylphy through fundamental magical concepts.
That night, after a quick group discussion, a schedule was hastily formed—Roxy would be leaving soon, so she proposed an intense crash cour...

Roxy turned her head toward Allen.
He held his blade in both hands, moving it through the air in an almost painfully slow arc until the tip finally rested against the grass.
Maybe it was a trick of the light.
But in that moment, Roxy thought she saw the edge of his blade shimmer, as if it had left behind a shadow.
And then, the few leaves floating in the air before him—
—fell.
And split cleanly in two.
“One twenty-six!” Sylphy’s soft voice c...

Paul stared at Allen for a long while before he finally understood what Allen had been aiming for.
“So your original technique has to maintain a constant Flow Technique to deflect my attacks. But since [Flow] is all about redirecting force rather than blocking or countering it, that means you can’t launch a counterattack at the same time.”
“And if you try to interrupt Flow mid-combat to counter using a different sword style, you risk leaving yourself wide ...

Roxy blinked.
“...Wait. D-does he know... magic?”
Rudeus’ serious expression instantly loosened, as though he’d just found a lifeline. He let out a chuckle.
“Luckily, Allen’s completely hopeless when it comes to magic. If he were talented at that too, you’d be stuck as his teacher, Roxy—and that’d be way too dangerous for me!”
“Ah... I see.”
Roxy exhaled with relief, not realizing what kind of “danger” Rudeus was referring to....

Allen said nothing after hearing Paul’s answer, just continued running his fingers over the hilt of his blade.
Paul, on the other hand, looked at him with the concerned expression of a man speaking to a troubled youth. He squinted slightly, his voice gentle.
“And I think… if you asked Philip the same question, he’d make the same choice I would.”
That sentence pulled Allen right out of his momentary stir of emotion. He glanced at Paul, only now realizing why the man...

After Paul rubbed his temples and solemnly assured Mrs. Eto that Allen hadn’t bullied her son, she finally left—face flushed with satisfaction under Zenith’s unblinking gaze.
Ah yes.
As expected of Buena Village’s one and only champion of pure-hearted love, in every possible sense.
Not long after, thanks to Allen fanning the flames—and Roxy’s general inability to refuse others—the group ended up seated in a circle in the courtyard. They began testing Sylphy’s...

Shortly after breakfast, Allen suddenly remembered what he'd forgotten.
He’d forgotten about Sylphy.
It came to him just as the three of them were reviewing yesterday’s battle—Roxy sitting nearby, occasionally nodding and offering admiring comments.
That was when she arrived.
As always, Sylphy stood just outside the courtyard, pretending to be a passerby who’d happened to wander by, her gaze fixed on the weeds at her feet.
But the moment she caught sight ...

Malva? In trouble?
Diantha’s immediate reaction was confusion.
But she quickly remembered August’s earlier words. Could this be the "performance" he'd mentioned?
She glanced at August, who simply smiled back, then spoke into the phone:
“Don’t panic. Tell me exactly what's going on.”
Malva’s voice was tense. “It’s too complicated to explain over the phone. I'll come find you right now—where are you, August?”

When ‘Giovanni’ finished speaking, Lysandre fell deep into thought.
What Giovanni had said was correct.
He knew August’s true purpose in coming to Kalos couldn’t simply be an interview. To believe otherwise was deluding oneself. It was likely the International Police had picked up some clues pointing towards Team Flare and sent August to investigate.
Now Lysandre faced two choices.
He could bet on Team Flare’s ability to remain hidden—betting that August wo...

“Trouble?”
Gardevoir was confused upon hearing Zoroark’s words.
Ever since their arrival, Zoroark had behaved oddly. At first, she'd seemed surprised and happy, only for her mood to rapidly turn dark and solemn, a tense aura settling around her.
Now, Gardevoir couldn’t tell what Zoroark was truly feeling.
More importantly…
She couldn't see any of this supposed “trouble” anywhere.
Other than Elias, the room was completely empty—there...

Guided by Gardevoir, the two Pokémon quickly headed toward their destination.
Along the way, Zoroark learned many things about the current state of the main world from Gardevoir.
Apparently, the place once called Hisui no longer existed.
Instead, it had become known as the Sinnoh region.
Even the ruling forces had changed from the Pearl Clan, Diamond Clan, and Galaxy Team to a unified Pokémon League.

This Pokémon in front of her... was actually letting her go?
But why?

Why would such a fearsome Pokémon suddenly choose to let her leave?
Instinctively...

Giratina pondered carefully but still couldn’t recall where it had met that human before.
After all, for the past few centuries, it had remained trapped in the Distortion World, constantly clashing with that irritating fox.
Every waking moment was spent devising ways to expel that fox from its domain. It simply didn’t have the energy to consider trivial things.
Still, Giratina wasn’t worried.
