But it’s too large—and why is it emitting strange Dark-type fluctuations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ju, clad in a cold-weather suit, stared solemnly at the massive rock before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a muscular, bald-headed martial artist scanned the surroundings warily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a natural cave here… no, it’s less a cave and more like a vast chamber!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can feel something behind the mountain ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ju: “Mm, Lian Wu—you feel it too? I felt it just now as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come to think of it, ever since I met someone, I’ve awakened Psychic abilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald-headed martial artist was none other than Lian Wu, one of Unova’s Elite Four—the Fighting Champion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He often trained in Ross Mountain, so he was familiar with Elder Ju.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That outsider?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Cai Ren said my ancestors and his had a mysterious connection. Since leaving Ancient City, I’ve felt the world has changed slightly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ju stared intently at the dark wall of the vast chamber, fixed on a specific spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my ancestors truly once bore a certain mission…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it is here, now—and I can feel the presence of that thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ju and Lian Wu gazed at the dark rock wall; the massive Frozen Stone radiated endless dark radiance, confirming its true nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a colossal Dark Stone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient cold chamber grew darker; strange fluctuations spread outward. Elder Ju and Lian Wu saw stars filling the sky—the icy stars appearing in the black-and-white world, and—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark rock wall twisted; a black portal grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness stepped a figure like a colossal god; a strange beeping echoed, like the startup of some ancient machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Giants awoke, stepping forth from the dark gate, emerging from that unique ancient ruin chamber, shattering the barriers beneath the earth—without the call of the Three Pillars, it awoke of its own will!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regigigas sensed the presence of a certain dragon! Though different from its memory, it was still something that came from the cosmos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The star power within me is trembling—there must be a dragon nearby!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant activates! Engage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the King of Giants paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I even moved to strike, had someone already been fighting that dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this familiar feeling... is it the King of the Sun Kingdom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, let me transmit my will and power to that person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Giant?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ju Lao and Lian Wu were stunned—the white Giant exuded overwhelming pressure and immense power. Watching the signal lights on its face flash incessantly, they nervously sent out their Pokémon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! The anomaly beneath Ross Mountain is this Pokémon?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible! This immense power—only our Plasma Group’s King deserves to wield it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cry of surprise came from behind Ju Lao:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cacnea, use Spore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexpected visitor was Sumra, who had entered Ross Mountain to investigate. As one of the Seven Sages responsible for ideological work, he was actually unskilled in ancient ruin exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the immense cold air emanating from within Ross Mountain had greatly reduced the number of people training and working here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the many tunnels constructed into the mountain, Sumra was able to lead his team straight in, encountering almost no resistance until reaching this final chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the King of Giants, Sumra was shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Pokémon is this? Such a colossal body, stepping forth from the darkness of spacetime—could this power fall into the hands of the Plasma Group’s King, who in Unova could possibly stand against it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power—this is precisely why a King must exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to study this Pokémon, the first step is to put the Gym Leader and Elite Four to sleep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ju Lao had not yet reacted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Wu, as one of the Elite Four, reacted with lightning speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cacnea prepared to use Spore, Lian Wu kicked out a massive boulder with a sudden flying kick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock Lock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Cacnea could release its Spore, the giant rock smashed straight into its face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh! Fighters are such a nuisance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lian Wu was the Fighting Elite Four, a formidable fighter. It was well known that the most terrifying people in the Pokémon world were psychics and fighters—these two professions could truly use “Pokémon moves” themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some could even brawl with Pokémon, becoming stronger than their own Pokémon—and Lian Wu was no exception, one of the “Super Unovan” elite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sumra was startled. The old Sage ordered his Plasma Group members to advance, but Lian Wu immediately threw out two Poké Balls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rockruff and Ledian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ledian, use Sonic Boom on the Trainer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rockruff, use Arm Hammer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In field battles, isn't it common sense for a fighter to strike the opponent's Trainer first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lian Wu, these people’s uniforms were all too familiar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plasma Group!” Lian Wu gritted his teeth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, the Plasma Group had loudly stirred public opinion, condemning the actions of his teacher, Champion Adik. That weak, injured Magmortar became their target, and they demanded Adik apologize and beg forgiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his teacher received a special remedy from someone, reviving Magmortar and averting its death—only then did the public outcry subside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the Plasma Group’s actions had already ignited Lian Wu’s fury!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ledian lunged forward, landing a Sonic Boom directly on the face of a Plasma Group grunt before he could react—creating the effect of “Pikachu hitting Ash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Trainer collapsed; without command, the released Pokémon panicked. Ledian delivered another Sonic Boom, instantly knocking out the released Purrloin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Rockruff swung its cement pillar, delivering Arm Hammer with ferocious force, sending a group of Pokémon flying—and even the Trainers were struck by the pillar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you’re directly attacking Trainers! Though these guys do seem suspicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Ju Lao react, sending out his Excadrill into battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. If the Elite Four are this tough, then I’ll use this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sumra pulled a special device from inside his robe. Instantly, a strange wave of energy spread outward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Unova Link (Heaven’s Tower) has occurred!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Unova Link (Ross Mountain) has occurred!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: The Lord of the Spirit Realm cannot enter the physical world—much less an outsider from another universe.

When he looked up, the stars of the cosmos shone brighter than ever; otherwise, it seemed no different from the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah... they can’t cross over, but we can send someone... over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially if we pull a soul over—here, Cresselia can’t do much. After all, the Reverse World isn’t the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gaaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai heard Cresselia’s roar—not the cry of the Silver Dragon, but the true voice of Cresselia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruler of the Reverse World was scolding the Lord of the Spirit Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their sources of power differed, their natures remained identical. More importantly, how dare the dragon of the Spirit Realm strike its contractee in the real world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cresselia sought to enter the Moon Realm through the power of the Reverse World, but the Silver Dragon’s domain proved impenetrable. A colossal vortex of the Spirit Realm appeared near Heaven’s Tower, making it impossible for those present to distinguish illusion from reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My soul... has been chosen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>N stared blankly at the silver dragon behind him, then understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dragon merely wished to use his hands to fight the one before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, to be chosen as a temporary Trainer—this was supreme honor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unrelated to the founding legend,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet... this feeling—never before experienced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【In essence, battle is a clash of will, heart, and soul.
