Chapter 596: We, the Unova Trainers, Do Things This Way
"Nyah!"
Victini possessed the ability to transfer energy to other Pokemon, somewhat similar to Wave Guide but with its unique characteristics.
Additionally, Victini's "Infinite Energy" made it one of the top-tier support Pokemon in the entire Pokemon world.
Moreover, Reshiram, being a Fire-type Legendary, benefited even more from Victini's assistance.
As Victini channeled its energy into Reshiram's tail-mounted thrusters, the latter seemed to enter a state of "overclocking," gaining a significant boost.
In this state, Reshiram could even hold its own against Darkrai without hesitation.
"Nyah!"
Victini's forehead, marked with a V, glowed with a scorching red aura as it continuously infused energy into Reshiram's thrusters.
"Roar!"
Reshiram vibrated its snowy wings, unleashing waves of heat that enveloped the area where the Sinnoh Trio resided.
The green flames almost obscured the sky.
"Is this the power of the Truth Dragon, Reshiram?" Keikis's eyes were filled with greed.
This was the kind of Pokemon he had always dreamed of.
What made him uncomfortable was that Zekrom, Reshiram's counterpart, had followed his foster son.
"Land Cloud, block it!" Keikis held his staff.
"Tornado Cloud, Thunder Cloud, attack that human!"
Their target was Jinghe, who was on Reshiram's back.
"Land!"
The Land Cloud, relying on its natural power, couldn't compete with Reshiram, especially one boosted by Victini's energy.
However, the Land Cloud could draw upon the power of the Dragon Veins.
A millennium ago, when the Dragon Veins in the Land of Origin went berserk, even Reshiram and Zekrom together couldn't suppress it, and they had to rely on the Earth Sword.
Although the Dragon Veins hadn't fully awakened yet, the Land Cloud could, with their power, barely hold its ground and withstand Reshiram's attacks for a moment.
This moment might be a minute or just a few dozen seconds.
But for Keikis, it was enough.
If he could eliminate Teacher Jinghe, returning Reshiram to its "ownerless" state, he might be able to forcefully control it using Acroma's device, and it would be worth it even if he lost the entire Sinnoh Trio.
"Thunder!"
"Tornado!"
The Thunder Cloud and Tornado Cloud struggled, but they still rushed towards Jinghe.
Seeing this, Jinghe's eyebrows twitched.
Good, so you want to try?
"Jinghe!"
Behind him, Xihuona, riding Braviary, witnessed this and exclaimed in surprise.
Without hesitation, she took out the Mega Stone.
"Braviary, Mega Evolve!"
In an instant, Braviary completed its Mega Evolution, donning a majestic dragon cloak.
Braviary could sense Xihuona's urgency and concern, so it accelerated.
"You won't make it in time!" A sinister smile appeared on Keikis's face.
Even if you're Xihuona, you can't possibly reach Teacher Jinghe in an instant.
But at that moment.
Jinghe's face broke into a smile as he restrained Victini and Meloetta.
Hum—
A shadow emerged from behind Jinghe, and within the swaying darkness, a figure with cold eyes stared at the approaching Thunder Cloud and Tornado Cloud.
"You're a bit late, Darkrai."
The Pokemon that appeared behind Jinghe was none other than Darkrai, the Nightmare God!
"Hmph! You don't understand; protagonists often make their entrances last!"
Darkrai extended its claws, and a massive black sphere formed in its hands. With the howling wind, the black mist around it flowed like clouds, but its eyes grew increasingly serious.
"Leave them to me."
Jinghe flipped and jumped off Reshiram's back.
Darkrai nodded slightly, turning to face the Thunder Cloud and Tornado Cloud.
Jinghe's voice echoed as he descended.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"Oh oh oh oh! Look at me, my offspring!" Darkrai charged towards the Thunder Cloud and Tornado Cloud.
"Roar—"
A red light flashed, and the voice of the Haxorus rang out as Jinghe rode it, swooping towards the mountain below.
He pulled his hat low, squinting his eyes.
So, you're going to attack the Trainer directly?
"Jinghe, are you okay?" Super Braviary and Xihuona finally reached his side.
Jinghe shook his head. "I'm fine."
"But they're not!"
Below, Keikis and Acroma stiffened.
Feeling Jinghe's gaze and Xihuona's icy stare, Acroma broke into a cold sweat.
"Oh no, oh no..." Acroma's forehead glistened with sweat.
"Braviary, Dragon Rush!"
"Haxorus, Dragon Rush!"
"Roar!!!" Super Braviary roared.
"Roar!!!"
The Kyurem's might was no less formidable than its opponent.
The two dragons descended from above, charging straight towards the mountain peak.
Boom!!!
The ground shook violently, accompanied by the shocked cries of the Plasma Grunts.
"Cough, cough, cough," came the sound of someone struggling to stand amidst the ruins.
It was Colress, aided by his three Hydreigon, who managed to rise unsteadily.
Behind him, Ghetsis looked disheveled, covered in dust.
The Gear Station's "wall" of Klinklang had been severely damaged by the impact, with most of them losing their ability to fight.
"Is this the strength of the top two in the Young Master World Championship?" Ghetsis muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Colress and Ghetsis froze, their bodies tense.
With difficulty, they turned their heads in the same direction, only to see Jinghe and Xihuona approaching, accompanied by their respective Pokemon, Gengar and Braviary.
The aura around them was palpable.
Colress clenched his teeth, exuding the true leader's aura of Team Plasma, and in his hands appeared several Poke Balls.
"Since it's come to this, let's battle! As Trainers, I believe you should..."
Bang!!!
Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow emerged from behind Colress, and a pitch-black fist struck him precisely in the stomach.
"Ugh!!!"
Colress's entire body contorted like a shrimp, his eyes widening in shock, and his mouth gaping as if something was about to burst out.
It was Jinghe's Gengar.
A single punch had rendered Colress incapable of fighting.
Jinghe chuckled lightly, looking down at Colress, who was now kneeling on the ground.
"Come on, let's battle," Jinghe beckoned.
Colress's Hydreigon attempted to move, but it was immediately restrained by Braviary and Kyurem, one on each side, gripping its neck.
"Roar?"
"Meowth?"
Hydreigon, with a miserable expression, could only watch as Colress struggled to catch his breath, his eyes bulging and his mouth agape.
Jinghe smirked, "I'm giving you a chance, but you're useless."
Colress: "..."
After a while, Colress managed to catch his breath, and with difficulty, he raised his head to look at Jinghe and Xihuona.
"You... you're from the League, and you're doing this?" Colress asked, his voice trembling.
"What?" Jinghe crouched down, meeting Colress's gaze, and tilted his head slightly. "Don't you know that in the League, there's a rule called 'Unrestricted Battle'?"
Colress opened his mouth but couldn't find the words.
Jinghe stood up, shrugged, and said, "Gengar, beat him up! Knock him out, wake him up, and beat him again. Don't let him pass out or fall asleep."
"Hngggh!"
Gengar flexed its wrists, a sinister smile on its face.
The Hydreigon's body twitched uncontrollably, its eyes rolling back into its head.
Hum...
Xihuona's Poke Ball at her waist opened on its own, and Gogoat eagerly jumped out.
"Snarl!"
Jinghe's eyebrows rose at the sight, "You want in too, Gogoat? Go ahead."
"Snarl! Snarl!"
Gogoat's smile mirrored that of Gengar.
"You! Are you really a League Trainer?" Colress asked, staggering backward in fear as he looked at Jinghe.
"Sorry, but this is how we League Trainers do things," Jinghe replied.
"Hngggh!"
Gengar nodded in agreement.
Jinghe then turned to Xihuona and asked, "Right?"
Xihuona's face remained cold, remembering how Colress had ordered Thundurus and Tornadus to attack Jinghe.
She nodded and said to Gogoat, "No restrictions this time."
"Snarl!"
With the approval of their Trainers, Gogoat's smile grew even more mischievous.
"No! Stop! Don't come near me! Ahh!"
Colress's desperate cries filled the air, while Ghetsis's forehead was drenched in sweat.
When he noticed Jinghe's gaze upon him, Ghetsis instinctively took a few steps back, swallowed hard, and forced a smile.
"Teacher Jinghe, you know, I'm just a scientist following orders," Ghetsis said.
"Of course," Jinghe nodded calmly.
But the calmer Jinghe appeared, the more anxious Ghetsis became.
If not for Colress's unfortunate experience, Ghetsis, as a mad scientist, might not have reacted so nervously. Yet, Colress's screams still echoed in his ears, and he truly...
Ghetsis opened his mouth but couldn't find the words. His mind raced.
Suddenly, as if grasping at a lifeline, Ghetsis exclaimed, "I know something! Something very important!"
"Oh?"
"Teacher Jinghe, I've always wanted to be a good person. Please give me a chance to redeem myself!" Ghetsis pleaded.
In Jinghe's recollection, in the original story, after Akroma's arrest, the Alola Region remains active.
The "Nekrozma Fusion Device" and "Nekrozma-Solgaleo/Lunala Fusion Device" he created allowed Nekrozma to fuse with either Solgaleo or Lunala.
One could say that he pushed the art of fusion to its limits.
However, Akroma's actions, treating Pokemon as mere materials and tools for his control, were unbearable for the League and Jinghe.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a police officer," Jinghe said, turning to his Haunter. "Haunter, test out your Nightmare."
"Wait! Wait!" Akroma broke into a cold sweat. "I really, truly know something very important! Jinghe, please, I beg you, hand me over to the League!"
Damn, if only he had known Jinghe's methods were this extreme, even more so than the Plasma Grunts' illegal activities. He wouldn't have messed with Jinghe! This was worse than an evil organization.
"I'll give you one chance. Speak!" Jinghe narrowed his eyes.
If Akroma said anything else, this would be his last sleep.
Akroma seemed to understand Jinghe's intentions and quickly added, "Kiechi, he led N and Zekrom into the Giant Cave!"
Kiechi, standing nearby, widened his eyes and opened his mouth to curse, but Gogoat seized the opportunity and stuffed something into Kiechi's mouth.
"Waaaah—"
"Snap~"
The more you resist, the more excited I become.
Hmm? Upon hearing Akroma's words, Jinghe's expression turned serious.
No wonder.
No wonder he had tried to contact N earlier as a precaution but couldn't reach him. He had thought N was busy with something else.
Kiechi used N's desire to capture the Plasma Grunts to lure them into the Giant Cave, where Zekrom and Reshiram might merge.
Jinghe stared at Akroma and asked sternly, "You left something behind?"
Akroma managed a wry smile. "Not bad, Jinghe."
To be honest, if not for their opposing positions, Akroma felt he and Jinghe could have been friends.
This time, Akroma didn't hide anything. He directly said, "It's the 'Akroma Machine 1101,' which can potentially merge Zekrom and Reshiram."
"Absorption?" Jinghe finished his sentence.
"As expected, you know, Jinghe!" Akroma's excitement turned almost maniacal.
"Absorption?" Xihuona, standing nearby, was confused.
Jinghe didn't respond to Xihuona but furrowed his brows. "But how could you know the secret of fusion without the Gene Wedge?"
How did Akroma master the secret of fusion without obtaining the Gene Wedge?
"It's the Aether Foundation; they gave me a special black crystal with some knowledge of fusion," Akroma explained.
The Aether Foundation? A special black crystal? Jinghe's eyes widened.
Nekrozma's crystal?!
Jinghe couldn't help but admire Akroma's abilities. He had indeed created the "Nekrozma Fusion Device" and the "Nekrozma-Solgaleo/Lunala Fusion Device."
But he never expected Akroma to use Nekrozma's characteristics to reverse-engineer a machine that could merge Zekrom and Reshiram!
"Something's not right," Jinghe shook his head. "If that were the case, you and Kiechi shouldn't be here. Zekrom and Reshiram would be your targets."
Akroma wasn't telling the whole truth!
"Because there's a high chance it won't be controllable," Akroma admitted.
Akroma was now lying flat, and he spoke frankly, "Compared to an uncontrollable target, controlling Reshiram and Kyurem is much simpler."
"What are your chances of success?"
Akroma licked his lips, and madness returned to his face.
"Twenty percent!"
Twenty percent chance, and he dares to take such a risk!
Boom! Boom!
At that moment, thunderclouds and tornadoes descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the mountainside.
The Landorus, empowered by the dragon veins, couldn't withstand Reshiram's might and was left unconscious beside the thunderclouds and tornadoes.
"What's wrong?" Darkrai noticed Jinghe's expression and felt an ominous premonition.
What had he done now?
Jinghe pursed his lips.
"We might need to call upon Yajirobe."
