: The Sky-Piercing Mount, the Finishing Touch!

Sakaki...

The Rainbow Rockets, still clinging to their old ways.

Bai Zhou had a bit of a headache.

Why is Team Rainbow Rocket so persistent?

Having failed in the last world, are they now preparing to wreak havoc on this one?

"Bai Zhou, it's been a long time."

Sakaki's voice was deep and steady, carrying a composure born of long-standing high position.

"Liekong sits, draws..."

Bai Zhou was too lazy to waste words with him and raised his hand to elbow him.

Maintaining Rayquaza's normal state consumes a lot of resources, and he doesn't want to waste his precious BP points!

Sensing the sudden surge of killing intent from Bai Zhou and Lie Kongzuo, Sakaki's usually calm speech noticeably quickened.

"Stop. I didn't come here to fight you, otherwise..."

He tilted his head slightly in acknowledgment.

"What Mewtwo used just now wasn't the kind of greeting you give with psychic powers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Armored Mewtwo casually raised his hand, and the pile of precision instruments next to him was instantly grabbed from the air and squeezed and kneaded into a sphere.

One of the chips, shimmering with a special luster, broke out of its shell and flew precisely into Sakaki's outstretched palm.

Bai Zhou's eyes narrowed, and Lie Kong let out a suppressed growl from his throat.

Are they here to chat, not to fight?

"These bedbugs."

Liekongzuo's thoughts were filled with extreme disgust.

"Intense energy conflicts will accelerate the collapse of this already unstable alternate dimension."

Sakaki put the chip into his pocket and stated the facts in a calm tone.

"Remember to leave before it completely collapses. I don't want to lose a respectable opponent because of such pointless losses."

He turned around and, with Armored Mewtwo as his bodyguard, slowly walked towards the Ultimate Cavern, leaving behind a final, meaningful sentence.

"By the way, a friendly reminder... the riots have already begun..."

"The Sky-Piercing Seal, the finishing touch!"

Bai Zhou doesn't care about this or that.

Go tell my finishing touch!

As soon as he gave the command, he instantly became one with Lie Kong, achieving a spiritual resonance.

"roar--"

A dragon's roar that shook the entire alternate dimension soared into the sky!

Rayquaza's dark jade-colored scales suddenly reflected the golden iris of Mega Evolution, and the divine patterns symbolizing Mega Evolution flowed across its body.

Two long and majestic golden dragon whiskers, like divine ribbons, stretched and danced in the raging torrent of energy!

In an instant, a golden meteor streaked across the sky!

Mega Rayquaza transformed into a beam of destructive light that pierced through the void, carrying the will to purify everything, and with a speed beyond comprehension, it blasted towards Giovanni's back as he was about to step into the Ultimate Hole!

Almost at the same instant the golden light appeared, Armored Mewtwo vanished from the spot!

When it reappeared, it was already precisely positioned behind Sakaki!

Its arms were crossed in front of its chest, and a bright blue light shone on its silver-gray armor. A giant diamond-shaped shield engraved with complex energy circuits instantly unfolded!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Energy contracts and then releases instantly.

There was no deafening explosion, because the aftershocks of the energy collision had already transcended the realm of sound!

The entire Epang Palace groaned under the strain, and violent tremors reverberated through every corner!

And this was just the beginning. The entire alternate dimension of the Imperial Mausoleum was on the verge of collapse under the impact of this indescribable power!

……

Outside the palace.

With Mega Garchomp's sharp fins pressed against his throat, Team Rocket's leader swallowed hard, managing a grimace that looked more like a grimace.

"Hey, is it possible to reconcile?"

Just as Zhu Lan was about to speak, a sudden, violent shaking beneath her feet sent a shockwave through her!

She suddenly looked up into the depths of the palace, her eyes no longer able to conceal her worry.

Bai Zhou!

No, we have to go in!

The thought had barely formed when an invisible shockwave of destruction swept over them!

"Hold on!"

Zhu Lan shouted sharply!

The six champion Pokémon instantly formed a defensive formation, with layers of energy shields stacked up, managing to withstand the aftershocks that were powerful enough to tear mountains apart!

Once the energy turbulence subsided, Cynthia looked closely and saw that the remnants of Team Rainbow Rocket had vanished without a trace!

"Tsk!"

Zhu Lan frowned, but she had no time to think about anything else.

She quickly recalled her other Pokémon, leaving only Mega Garchomp by her side, and rushed towards the violently shaking palace gates at top speed.

Then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.

Bai Zhou was holding Mega Rayquaza's two majestic golden ponytails with both hands, scolding it with exasperation.

"You! Did you become completely complacent and lazy after I left?! That was the finishing touch! You couldn't even break through Armored Mewtwo's defense! And it got rid of you right in front of us! Have you no shame, dragons?!"

Zhu Lan's mind went completely blank for a moment.

This is... Rayquaza!?

White Boat... is Rayquaza's trainer!?

Rayquaza!

The supreme deity of the sky!

Unlike Pokémon in ordinary legends, they are beings that truly wield divine power and look down upon all living beings!

No wonder he remained calm and composed, no wonder he was able to control the overall situation, no wonder he treated me like someone who needed protection...

Cynthia knew that Shiraishu was a powerful trainer, as this was easily discernible from his battle habits and command style.

But she didn't know that Bai Zhou was actually this strong.

He is a Rayquaza-approved trainer!

He can even use Bond to Mega Evolve Rayquaza!

Bai Zhou...

How many secrets are you still hiding?

Unlike Cynthia's stunned silence, the Mega Garchomp beside her revealed a human-like sense of relief and appreciation in its crimson dragon eyes, and even nodded its massive head in agreement.

He truly is the man I've set my sights on!

That's so cool, I love it!

"Miss Zhulan, you're here! How are you? Are you alright?"

When Bai Zhou saw Zhu Lan arrive, he stopped tugging at Mega Rayquaza and went to greet her.

Mega Rayquaza took the opportunity to return to normal, shrinking back to its miniature state. Taking advantage of Bai Zhou's inattention, it whipped its tail at his arm.

The white boat naturally wouldn't let it succeed, and with a flash of its ultimate power, it moved freely.

Grab it in one go, and refine it in an instant.

After suppressing it, put it back on the collar.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Lan blushed slightly and felt an urge to cover her face.

It wasn't jewelry after all...

The black Rayquaza... that scale!

He didn't lie to me! I thought...

"Just some miscellaneous fish, nothing serious enough to cause injury."

Zhu Lan tried to calm her turbulent emotions, her voice unusually carrying a subtle fluctuation.

Bai Zhou nodded, then suddenly remembered what Sakaki had said before leaving. His emotions tightened, and he instinctively took a step forward, placing his hands heavily on Zhu Lan's shoulders. He said urgently:

"Cynthia! It's an emergency! All the Ghost-type Pokémon that were sleeping here have gone berserk and have already left the alternate dimension!"

"I need you to return immediately to provide support and try to trap them within the imperial tomb. I have a way to quell and stop them, but it will take time. Please!"

Infected by the strength from Bai Zhou's hands and the urgency in his words, Zhu Lan instantly forgot all her shock and shyness, and the calmness and responsibility of a champion regained the upper hand.

She took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Leave it to me!"

Please!

Bai Zhou nodded solemnly, released his grip, and immediately called out:

"Gastly!"

Gastly, which had been lurking in the shadows waiting for its chance, leaped out, first affectionately licking Shirazu's cheek, and then turning into a thick purple mist.

The mist quickly enveloped Cynthia and Garchomp, sending them away from this collapsing alternate dimension.

Once Gastly returned to its original position, Bai Zhou turned to look at the jade coffin in front of him, which was emitting a faint glow.

I hope my guess is right...

Ghost Slate!
