"Be careful, you absolutely cannot be hit by its lasers!"
Actually, Aiden didn't need to remind them; after witnessing Ultra Necrozma casually firing laser beams, the other Champions' hearts were already tossed by stormy waves.
Necrozma's light always gave people a feeling of divinity.
This was indeed the case. As the "Blinding One," it was probably the most powerful deity in this world after Arceus left.
However, under normal circumstances, its power would not be concentrated. As early as the dawn of chaos, it had transformed into countless stars, continuously bringing light to the universe.
Humans had absolutely no knowledge of Ultra Necrozma's existence, only knowing that after losing its light, it seemed to instinctively search for Ultra Aura.
And now, this incomparably powerful deity had appeared and stood on the opposite side of humanity.
No matter what, they had to stop it!
"Dragon Army, concentrate your power and use Draco Meteor!"
Lance was the first to react, commanding the Dragonite and Dragonair formed in an array beside him to launch an offensive.
After a brief gathering of energy, continuous and dense falling stars descended from the sky, smashing towards Necrozma's head.
However, "Boom—!"
With just a glance, Necrozma casually released a Dragon Pulse that instantly cleared the field, detonating all the energy meteorites in the sky prematurely, turning them into dim starlight that fell to the ground.
Witnessing its power, Aiden fell into deep thought.
Ultra Necrozma's ability was Neuroforce, which could amplify the power of super-effective moves.
In reality, "Neuroforce" would only be even more powerful.
When using moves, it didn't need to gather energy in advance; it only needed to shape the light into various different attributes according to its will, and it could easily release them.
In other words, almost all moves could be cast with zero startup—
It was already hard enough to defend against, and before it even started, they didn't know what move the opponent would use.
This was too difficult to deal with!
"Try using ultimate moves of different attributes at the same time. It shouldn't be able to use different moves consecutively, right?"
After calmly observing, Chairwoman Geeta quickly started a new attempt.
"Metagross, Flash Cannon!"
"Charizard, Fire Blast!"
"Garchomp, Stone Edge!"
Continuous attacks were fired. This time, Ultra Necrozma seemed to fall into thought and did not react immediately.
Of course, it might also have already judged that their power was simply not enough to hurt it—
Several explosions erupted in the sky one after another, but the Champions' offensive landed on Ultra Necrozma without causing any impact.
It was too tough!
Aiden subconsciously frowned.
Fighting like this wouldn't work. They couldn't touch its main body at all; it was equivalent to fighting formless and shapeless light.
He simply couldn't imagine how to defeat a mass of light—
But Ultra Necrozma was definitely not invincible. At least, according to the normal timeline, Moon would defeat it once.
Boom
How did she do it back then?
Aiden fell into thought. Cynthia beside him also immediately noticed his expression, so she took the initiative to make a command for him: "First, draw Ultra Necrozma's attention and move the battlefield to the ocean as much as possible!"
"Otherwise, Poni Island will sink sooner or later!"
Looking at the shocking, bottomless crevice on the ground, the Champions present all nodded in deep agreement.
The battlefield thus began to shift, and their combat style also changed from a positional war to a continuous moving war with a clear objective.
Aiden stayed where he was, looking at Ultra Necrozma, whose attention had been drawn away and was currently facing away from him, and suddenly noticed a detail he had overlooked earlier.
Oh, right!
Necrozma's inner core was a prism, which was just submerged by light in its perfect form, making it almost impossible to see clearly.
It was indeed the first light born, but it could not produce light itself.
So when it completed its mission and distributed the light created by Arceus to the entire universe, it, having lost its Ultra Aura, would revert to a pitch-black prism, wandering the edges of the universe.
The key wasn't to defeat it, but to consume its light as much as possible?
Aiden had a conjecture in his heart, but got stuck again—knowing was one thing, but how to do it was another.
How were they supposed to absorb light from Ultra Necrozma?
Go up and gnaw on it?
The only known method that would consume light, or rather Ultra Aura, seemed to be Z-Moves—
Thinking for a moment, Aiden then looked at the extremely nervous Sylveon beside him.
"Sylveon, perhaps we have to go all out to have a chance of solving this trouble."
"Vee—"
Sylveon sighed helplessly.
If possible, it actually preferred to slack off and leave the responsibility of saving the world to other, more powerful Pokémon.
But since the trainer had said so, it seemed it had to bite the bullet and deal with that big guy.
The world will be protected by me and my trainer together!
Aiden nodded in relief.
From the little Eevee who was even afraid to battle rookies at the beginning, to the Sylveon who now had a prominent record and a 100% win rate against Legendary Pokémon, we have both grown a lot.
For some reason, the classic line from Spider-Man suddenly came to his mind.
With great power comes great responsibility.
Since he possessed the power to protect the world, he was willing to give it another go for this beautiful Pokémon world!
Aiden raised his hand, just about to summon Salamence back to the battlefield, when a familiar voice suddenly came to his mind.
[Aiden, it seems you've encountered trouble?]
The voice came from the Renegade Pokémon, Giratina. When Aiden looked back in the direction of the voice, he just met the gaze of those crimson eyes in the black hole.
Besides the black Rayquaza, who had almost become his super sugar daddy, Giratina, who could observe the real world through the world bubble, was also a mediator of the world's order.
Obviously, this crisis had become so severe that even it had noticed.
"Yeah— you guys should know that one, right?"
Aiden nodded, pointing at the dragon of light on the distant sea.
[Necrozma, the earliest creation born of the Creator.]
Giratina had naturally noticed it long ago, but its voice seemed a bit emotional.
Moreover, it wasn't too surprised by its appearance.
[It was the first deity to help the Creator establish the world order, but precisely because of this, it is an imperfect existence.]
[Lacking light, it will gradually lose its sanity, frantically searching for light for survival, and completely destroying the world it single-handedly built.]
[Therefore, when it gradually became manic, the Creator exiled it—the one that retained its last shred of reason—to the edge of the universe.]
As a deity born almost alongside the world, Giratina indeed knew a lot of "super-ancient knowledge" that humans could not understand.
And this part of the content was unknown even to Aiden, who was a transmigrator.
"The edge of the universe?"
Aiden was a bit confused.
After all, according to his original conjecture, this Necrozma should have come from another world, and only went completely mad after witnessing the dark side of humanity in Ultra Megalopolis, which led it to cross space and time to seize power in the Alola region.
Regarding this, Giratina's explanation was quite straightforward.
[The universe is far larger than humans imagine. Although the center is the Earth, there are also many other planets.]
[The boundaries between universes are also not as distinct as you think.]
[So, Necrozma was initially sent to a place that existed on the edge of two worlds.]
[As for what happened after that, it is beyond my knowledge.]
Aiden pondered for a moment and seemed to somewhat understand its explanation.
I see—
No wonder Necrozma and its kin were both considered Ultra Beasts and "Legendary Cosmic Pokémon."
And the other places with Legendary Pokémon that could be reached through Ultra Wormholes also seemed to make sense now.
Because Pokémon didn't just exist on Earth in the universe; human exploration of this world was still just the tip of the iceberg.
As for Necrozma's appearance, it was also because the Ultra Megalopolis world and the main world were originally connected, so it could sense the Ultra Aura it had once distributed.
That Alpaca definitely knew about this all along.
Necrozma would descend upon this world sooner or later, but since It couldn't directly intervene, It simply left the problem for humans to solve themselves?
What a scumbag—
Aiden twitched his mouth, always feeling that ever since he was recruited by Arceus as a "connected insider," he had been helping It fix the bugs left over from the creation of the world.
[So, do you need help, Aiden?]
[Necrozma's power is second only to the Creator. Relying solely on human power, I'm afraid—]
Giratina's voice sounded again, and at the same time, the auras of the Space-Time Dragons came from the other side of the black hole.
Aiden nodded decisively.
"I'm counting on you."
With Legendary Pokémon coming to assist, they could at least further hold back Necrozma's pace and effectively consume its power.
And since he was going to call for reinforcements anyway—
Aiden thought for a moment and added two more sentences.
"Giratina, I need more support, the more the better."
"So, could you please contact other Legendary Pokémon through the world bubble and ask them to temporarily lend me their strength?"
There were quite a few Legendary Pokémon he could summon, and having Giratina around made contacting them much more convenient.
This battle had become a desperate struggle, mobilizing the power of the entire Earth to stop Necrozma from continuing its madness and to restore its sanity—
[I understand.]
Giratina nodded, and the black hole slowly closed.
However, before the black hole closed—
"Wait for me, Lord Giratina!"
Marshadow suddenly jumped out of Aiden's shadow, delivering a flying kick mid-air as it followed Giratina into the Distortion World.
It was probably going to summon Ho-Oh, right?
Aiden scratched his head, roughly guessing what it was thinking.
Speaking of which, he had obtained Ho-Oh's tail feather long ago and became a candidate for the Rainbow Hero.
But it seemed he still hadn't met those three dogs—
Whatever, this wasn't important!
There was no time to care about these little things right now.
Aiden shook his head, summoned Salamence, picked up Sylveon, and returned to the battlefield.
"Careful, it's going to use its laser again!"
Above the ocean, Ultra Necrozma's movements gradually became more agitated.
Its size was indeed very large, giving people an intense sense of oppression.
But a smaller size also had its advantages, especially in an aerial battle where 360° evasion was possible.
Boom—!
The laser beam fell from the sky, hitting the ocean and instantly stirring up countless waves.
As battle-hardened Champions, knowing how to flexibly use their own advantages and cover their weaknesses was naturally a basic skill.
——
After a brief skirmish, they had now gradually adapted to Necrozma's attack frequency, and dodging had become more manageable.
But there was still one problem that remained unresolved—
That dragon of light seemed to have endless stamina; using laser beams consecutively had no effect whatsoever on its subsequent attacks.
But obviously, let alone them ordinary humans, even their Pokémon had limited stamina.
Once the battle was dragged into a war of attrition, the ones who couldn't hold out first would definitely be them—
So they had to decide the victor before their stamina ran out.
But—
How were they going to do that?
No one knew how to defeat that giant dragon from beyond the universe, the very origin of light.
Perhaps Aiden could think of a way; for now, they could only buy time for him.
Just as the Champions were thinking this, Aiden finally appeared not far away.
The pink aura that appeared with him immediately attracted Necrozma's attention.
However, before it could react, Aiden took action first.
"Sylveon, Blood Moon!"
"Vwee!!!"
A gentle white light suddenly flew out from the pink aura, catching Necrozma off guard.
Although it still didn't cause much effective damage, this time Sylveon's attack at least left a less-than-conspicuous spot of light on its body.
It was as if the originally pure and flawless light had been tainted.
Even if it was only for a few short seconds, it was a substantial breakthrough for them.
"Roar—!"
Seemingly feeling pain at last, Ultra Necrozma soon let out a roar, firing another "Prismatic Laser" towards Aiden.
"Salamence!"
"Krah!!!"
Salamence made an emergency turn in the air, easily dodging its offensive.
"Teacher Azure, I knew you'd have a way!"
Steven showed an excited expression; his face already covered in sweat, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It seemed that the key to breaking the deadlock was Aiden's special Sylveon.
As long as they protected it, perhaps they could really slowly consume all of Necrozma's light?
However, before he could be happy, several oppressive auras suddenly came from beside him.
Steven subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Then, unsurprisingly, he was dumbfounded.
A black hole appeared in the sky, and the pitch-black Giratina flew out first.
Then came the Space-Time Dragons and Unova's Dragon of Ideals.
Multiple Legendary existences that he could name appeared one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot, until they gradually filled the sky, and they all turned their gazes towards Ultra Necrozma, which was now on guard against them.
It wasn't just Steven; the other Champions also had incredibly complex expressions—
What an all-star lineup!
