Chapter 1131: Eternamax

The quiet four-dimensional pocket.

The three of them wore makeshift respirators, communicating in muffled voices.

"It's hard to believe Chairman Rose would do something like this. He was such a great figure..."

Raihan stood before the fainted Rose, his face full of confusion.

Leon's expression was solemn; he could actually understand Rose's reasoning, but he couldn't understand the latter's methods.

Why the rush?

The Galar region's overall economy was still growing, and Dynamaxing continued to attract tourists from all over the world. Its unique competitiveness could ensure Galar's prosperity for at least another century!

What possible reason could make Rose disregard the safety of the Galarian people and desperately want to revive Eternatus?

Leon really didn't want to admit that his benefactor had been possessed.

All Baimu patted his shoulder. "Worldly affairs are unpredictable; all we can do is accept it. The battle outside should be over by now. Let's head out first."

With the mascot legendary and the King of Bountiful Harvest leading the charge, plus a bunch of Champion-level ace Pokémon, how could Eternatus resist when it hadn't even had time to absorb enough Galar particles to fully recover?

Raihan and Leon nodded, searching for an exit.

"It seems like here—"

"Why is there debris everywhere—"

Before they could finish, the two suddenly fell into a pitch-black circular hole that appeared beneath their feet.

Amidst the spinning world.

They successfully returned to the Wyndon Stadium, but the act of taking off their oxygen masks was forced back by dust as thick as fog.

"Charizard!"

"Duraludon!"

The two called out to their respective Pokémon.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind arrived.

The thick fog was pushed aside by an invisible hand, and Charizard arrived at Leon's side in an instant.

Miraidon and some other Pokémon followed suit.

But Raihan's Duraludon was nowhere to be seen, and a portion of All Baimu's other Pokémon were also missing.

"Duraludon!"

He shouted loudly and rushed into the fog, soon discovering the reason.

The floor had been blasted through!

Before the three of them lay a bottomless pit, its interior flashing with purple-red, bright yellow, and dark red multicolored light, with terrifying screeching sounds faintly emanating from within.

It was like a bottomless tunnel leading to the abyss.

Raihan was stunned for a long time; after all, this floor was constructed from high-strength composite materials resistant to shock and impact, and it wouldn't even react to continuous Dynamax move barrages!

All Baimu's heart also skipped a beat.

Overdone it!

Did the five Regis fail to defend against it? No, it was also possible it had been pierced through by overloaded elemental energy!

When all was said and done, the average level of the five Regis was barely in the mid-seventies.

And among the Pokémon responsible for the output, there were terrifying individuals at levels eighty, eighty-five, and even ninety!

A miscalculation!

He felt a bit annoyed, then said to the two, "There's a situation. Both of you, be prepared."

"What's wrong?"

Leon keenly sensed the vigilance hidden in those words.

All Baimu said, "The energy plant should be packed with the Galar particles Rose stored. If they are absorbed by Eternatus..."

Raihan chimed in, "You mean it can still continue to fight?"

It meant the boss was highly likely to enter a second phase!

But he didn't say this out loud; the situation at the bottom wasn't clear yet. What if Eternatus had been beaten to death directly?

The kind that turns from a bone dragon into actual bones.

Unfortunately, All Baimu hadn't received that good news.

"Slowly recovering, huh..."

Porygon2 and Super Aggron sent signals simultaneously, making him immediately look at Leon. "Go! Hurry and capture Eternatus!"

"Right!"

Leon didn't hesitate.

Sealing Eternatus to prevent the disaster from expanding further was his mission.

At this moment.

Inside the energy plant, the walls flashed with dark red warning lights, accompanied by continuous buzzing alarms.

Purple-red particles floated in the air; these were the markers of Galar particles.

Oval crystal pillars resembling light-emitting diodes continued to emit pale yellow radiance; these were the warehouses storing Galar particles.

But many had already been smashed by giant rocks after the ceiling collapsed, causing a large amount of Galar particles to permeate the air.

Various colors intertwined, reflecting the complex emotions in Leon's heart.

The three Regis surrounded the corpse-like Eternatus, preventing it from absorbing Galar particles to revive.

The remaining Pokémon continued to maintain a vigilant posture.

It seemed that without All Baimu needing to give an order, they naturally sensed the importance of Galar particles to Eternatus.

Raihan successfully found his Duraludon.

"Well done!"

All Baimu praised them happily, then looked at Leon. "In a moment, I'll have them open the protective shield. You hurry in and capture it. Remember to be careful."

"Right!"

Leon nodded vigorously.

Actually, to be safe, they should move Eternatus outside the Galar region; that way, even without a protective shield, it wouldn't be able to revive.

Unlike Terastallization, which could appear elsewhere, Galar particles currently only existed in the Galar region.

Once the current Eternatus went anywhere else, it would be no different from a dead dragon.

But it didn't matter.

Calyrex had just given a signal that it was about to arrive. Even if Eternatus took this opportunity to Eternamax, what could it do?

Raihan said seriously, "Be careful, Leon!"

He didn't want his rival to have any accidents before he could defeat him himself.

Leon smiled. "I understand."

In an instant, the three Regis opened the protective shield, and he slipped inside along with a small amount of Galar particles.

Charizard was left outside, looking at the three Regis with frustration.

"Roar?"

"Beep-beep-beep—Lei! Ji! Ai!"

Regice seemed to explain something.

Charizard didn't understand a word, watching his Trainer put himself in danger with frustration.

After absorbing a small amount of Galar particles, Eternatus paused as if reacting.

"Your existence is too dangerous. I'm sorry, Eternatus, I must seal you!"

As he spoke, he threw the Poké Ball out.

Snap!

Red light sucked the giant Eternatus inside. After the Poké Ball closed, it fell to the ground and swayed gently.

The next moment.

Bang!

The Poké Ball exploded, and Eternatus appeared with a roar, its giant tail whipping toward Leon!

"Wuu-ang!!"

"Hurry and dodge, Leon!"

"Hah!"

Leon hurriedly side-rolled to dodge, but the opponent was too fast, and he was struck by the tail!

Charizard's eyes were about to split. "Roar!"

Clang!

Blue light shone, blocking this strike for Leon.

The Porygon-Phone flew out from his chest, revealing a smiling face to the stunned young man. "I will protect you. I'm more reliable than Rotom-Phone."

"..."

All Baimu covered his forehead.

Even at a time like this, you have to step on Rotom-Phone, Porygon, you guy.

Raihan and Charizard both breathed a sigh of relief.

Leon was also amused by the Porygon-Phone and said softly, "Thank you. With you here, I feel much more at ease."

He took a few deep breaths and looked at Eternatus, which had broken free from its feigned-death state.

The moment it was sucked into the Poké Ball, it realized that if it continued to play dead, a longer slumber awaited it.

How could Eternatus, having finally recovered, be willing to accept that?

"Wuu-ang!!"

It roared at everyone and every Pokémon.

Mew quietly appeared beside All Baimu. "Mew~ Mew!"

"What did you say?"

"It says that compared to the person inside, it feels more at ease with you taming this evil Pokémon."

"At ease? You actually care about this?"

Facing All Baimu's teasing, Mew flicked its tail and hit him twice with an unhappy expression.

Are being playful and being destructive the same thing?

What it wanted was a stable and interesting world, not the ruins left behind after Eternatus's destruction!

There were few existences in the world as full of destructive desire as Eternatus.

Moreover, it wasn't a native species of the planet and didn't participate in nature's balance mechanism; it was equivalent to a virus from the outside, harmful to the world and of no benefit!

Mew represented a part of nature that symbolized life, so it certainly couldn't stand Eternatus.

As All Baimu chuckled, Raihan beside him had a strange expression.

"All Baimu, you... who are you talking to?"

Seeing the person beside him talking to the air, he felt the situation was exceptionally eerie. Was there a fourth person here?

All Baimu didn't change his expression, pulling Dragapult out of the air. "Talking to my Dra-guy; it prefers to stay invisible."

"I see."

Raihan believed him.

"Dra..."

The socially anxious dragon had a wronged expression; what did that have to do with it?

Inside the protective shield.

Leon's Ultra Balls had exploded five times in a row, failing to capture Eternatus for a long time, making his expression increasingly solemn.

Seeing this, Raihan said, "Is your luck too bad? How about I try?"

"This has nothing to do with luck... but fine."

Leon thought it wouldn't hurt to have someone else try.

The two swapped, and Eternatus absorbed a bit more Galar particles, but it was still not enough to release the Dynamax Cannon that could destroy everything.

The injuries caused by the group beating just now were too terrifying; these Galar particles weren't even enough for self-healing, let alone releasing moves!

Raihan threw a Dusk Ball at Eternatus.

"Hey! Always using ordinary Ultra Balls, it's normal not to be able to catch it!"

He was very confident.

The next second.

The Dusk Ball exploded without even wobbling, and Eternatus whipped its giant tail, scaring Raihan into lying flat on the ground.

Even though he knew he had the Porygon-Phone's protection, the deterrent force of Eternatus's tail whip still caused his body to have a stress reaction.

"Damn it, where does this leave the face of the Dragon Storm? You're a Dragon type, right? You look just like one! So obediently let me capture you!"

Raihan certainly didn't have the bloodline of a Dragon Tamer, but his strength was enough to call himself one and start a new page in the family tree.

He changed to other types of Poké Balls, but like Leon, he couldn't successfully capture Eternatus.

Leon sighed and turned his head. "All Baimu! You go try!"

"Fine."

All Baimu didn't hesitate, quickly swapping with the unconvinced Raihan, and Mew also quietly slipped in.

Only, no one knew of its existence.

Its powerful invisibility ability was enough to ensure that the vast majority of Pokémon couldn't observe it.

Even Eternatus or the third legendary, Miraidon, or the mascot legendary.

All Baimu took out a Repeat Ball. "Too bad there's no Master Ball. If Miraidon's Master Ball could be unbound, that would be great."

He threw it at Eternatus.

Who knew that this alien poison dragon's reaction would be incomparably intense, far more intense than when facing Leon and Raihan.

The gaze it cast at All Baimu was full of resentment and hostility.

Eternatus knew very clearly that the one who caused it to end up in this state was the human before it!

Damn it! Hateful! Abominable!

"Wuu-ang—!!"

It roared with all its might, continuously launching attacks at All Baimu, completely disregarding its own injuries.

Leon and Raihan were both panicked. "Hurry and get out, All Baimu!"

"Right! Get out first!"

No one expected Eternatus to hate All Baimu so much, disregarding its own safety, preferring to fall into a longer slumber just to take him down!

Mew had no choice but to act in secret. "Mew~"

Its psychic power fluctuated violently, forcibly locking down this alien poison dragon, creating an opportunity for All Baimu, who was dodging repeatedly.

Go!

He suddenly threw the Repeat Ball.

Leon and Raihan watched as Eternatus was sucked into the ball, which began to sway slightly after landing.

Once, twice, three...

It stopped moving?

All Baimu frowned, suddenly having an ominous premonition.

Zzz!!

Purple-red lightning erupted around the Repeat Ball, and terrifying current poured onto the light shield.

The three Regis all began to react.

"Beep-beep-beep—"

"Doo-doo-doo—"

"Buzz-buzz-buzz—"

Their buzzing sounds were quite urgent, seemingly urging All Baimu to leave.

The Porygon-Phone hurriedly said, "They want you to leave quickly; Eternatus is going to risk its life!"

"Risk its life? Wasn't it risking its life just now?"

All Baimu retreated backward immediately.

Regirock's dot matrix flashed. "Buzz-buzz-buzz—Lei~ Ji~ Luo!!"

The Porygon-Phone translated, "Defeated is defeated, but Eternatus is now betting on its own complete disappearance just to take you down!"

Good grief!

It was going to blow itself up with him!

All Baimu didn't expect Eternatus's personality to be so unyielding; it had been willing to play dead earlier, but now it was willing to trade its life for his?

During the exchange, the Repeat Ball exploded.

A purple-red shockwave was released from the core in Eternatus's torso, and countless streams of light broke through the three Regis' protective shield, striking various parts of the energy plant.

The Pokémon protected their Trainers immediately.

The durable ones like Super Aggron lunged at Eternatus; they knew very well what this guy was planning to do!

But when a powerful legendary Pokémon acts at the cost of its life, it is very difficult for other Pokémon without that resolve to stop it.

【Eternabeam】!

Boom!

Countless purple-red beams blasted toward the surroundings, creating chaos while also blowing away the Pokémon on Eternatus's body.

It suddenly rushed toward the sky, passing through the shattered dome of the castle, carrying countless Galar particles to create a terrifying Darkest Day that blotted out the sun!

Eternamax Eternatus was finally going to appear after all!

People looked up at the terrifying scene, their anxiety reaching its peak.

Oleana murmured, "Chairman... what exactly have you..."

The Team Rocket trio also hugged each other for a sense of safety. Meowth shivered, "That guy, that guy is going to destroy everything, meow!"

Inside the energy plant.

Leon stood up from the wreckage, looking up at the terrifying dark clouds, biting his lip. "Its final form, huh?"

"Let's defeat it again!" Raihan was full of fighting spirit.

All Baimu sighed. "It finally came to this step... sigh, it's really speechless."

Amidst their confused gazes, he suddenly made a phone call. "I'll leave it to you... yeah, it flipped over."

"Yo~ Yo~"

A light laugh like the cry of a deer came from the other end of the phone.

In an instant.

A star shone brightly outside Wyndon.

A giant ice spear appeared in the sky, piercing through the body of Eternatus, which had just completed its Eternamax!

Boom—!!

The world turned stark white in an instant!

【Glacial Lance】!

Before anyone's vision could recover, countless ghostly purple stars were driven above the firmament, rushing toward the wailing Eternamax Eternatus once again!

【Astral Barrage】!!

Rumble—!!

The entire city of Wyndon began to tremble violently!
