Chapter 491: Sinnoh's Shift

A massive phantom giant beast slowly revealed its full form, its outline fierce and majestic.

At the junction where its wings and tail meet the body, three structures extend outward; the broad wings and the edge of the tail each bear five sharp claws, three of which curve inward, exuding a chilling aggressiveness.

Its entire skin, a base of Red, is interlaced with black patterns like branching twigs, the intricate designs spreading to the head and neck, eerie and mysterious. A ring of gray feathered plumes encircles its neck, extending backward, adding an extra sense of intimidation to the beast.

Ifrital!

Huo La, stealthily moving through the lower camp, instantly recognized this Kalos Destruction Divine Beast and also saw the figure perched on its back.

His heart tightened suddenly, but he was short of options; his only task now was to rush to rendezvous with the Resistance Organization, so he suppressed his concerns and kept darting through the camp's defenses.

High above, Fu Lada Li rode steadily on Ifrital's back, overlooking the three youths perched on the Space-Time Trio.

His eyes were sharp as hooks, his cold gaze fixed firmly on the three, bearing a lofty indifference and pressure.

"You three brats, which one is Huo La?" Fu Lada Li's voice was icy and piercing, cutting through the howling wind that rang across the sky.

Xiaoyin glanced sideways at Bilan and Paipa beside him, his tone steady and certain: "I am."

"Heh." Fu Lada Li chuckled low, emotion unreadable, "You're young, but your aura isn't lacking. Sneaking a midnight raid on my camp, using the Space-Time Trio to wreak havoc on our defenses—do you aim to defeat me? Or to, on your own, save the so‑called world?"

Faced with his questioning, Paipa, Bilan, and Xiaoyin remained silent, a wordless standoff spreading quietly.

"I'm not as foolish as Zha Ao Bo," Fu Lada Li's eyes flashed with sarcasm and cold sharpness, "Relying only on the three of you plus three Space-Time Divine Beasts to crush me and the entire Flash Flame Team is far too naive."

As the words fell, he barked loudly, "Ifrital, Hurricane!"

The jet‑black massive wings flapped violently, two torrents of ferocious, boundless gusts swept the heavens, bearing a force that could shred everything, charging straight at the three and the Space-Time Trio to crush them.

"Dodge!"

The three shouted in unison, "Dodge!" Di Ya Lu Ka, Pa Lu Qi Ya, and Qi La Di Na simultaneously summoned power, their forms flashing out to precisely evade the devastating Hurricane assault.

Having dodged the first wave, the three exchanged a glance, perfectly in sync, and simultaneously drew Pokeballs from their waists, hurling them with force toward the open ground below.

Watching their synchronized move, Fu Lada Li's brows knit tightly, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart.

One by one, the Pokeballs exploded in the air, dazzling Red Light bursting forth, and five towering, massive silhouettes crashed down, standing within the Flash Flame Team's camp.

Electric, Rock, Ice, Steel, and Dragon energies intertwined in a massive surge, instantly sweeping the entire battlefield, layers of terrifying pressure stacking, causing the surrounding air to solidify.

The Legendary Giant appears!

The moment he saw the five Legendary Giants, Fu Lada Li's complexion darkened, fierce anger and dread flashing in his eyes, and he roared loudly, "A Ke Bi, Ba La, Ke Lei Er, Mo Mi Ji, Ku Se Luo Si Qi, Pa Qi La, Guli, Guli Zi! All hands, intercept with full force; we must not let them advance!"

With Fu Lada Li's command, the entire Flash Flame Team camp erupted in overlapping Pokémon roars, louder than during the earlier assault.

Countless Shiny energy beams and elemental projectiles streaked across the night sky, densely targeting the five giant silhouettes of Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, and Regidrago.

The booming explosions continued unabated, the raging Energy Shock Waves raged in all directions, stones and fireworks scattering everywhere; the already chaotic camp turned into a white‑hot battlefield.

And at the same time the Kalos war raged, the distant Shen'ao Region quietly shifted.

The once‑pristine Snow Peak of Hisui trembled violently, the continuous mountain range shook incessantly, the flat snow layer suddenly cracked, and avalanches erupted from nowhere, surging down.

Below the weather‑worn Snow Peak Temple, long eroded by wind and snow, six massive gems quivered slowly, layers of heavy dust shedding away, revealing the translucent luster that had settled for millennia within.

A deep, resonant, ancient voice that had crossed ages echoed slowly in the cavernous depths of the temple: "A thousand years… my children, at last you have manifested again. It seems… what that fellow said has truly happened once more…"

Huo La, using the blanket of warfire as cover, crouched low and sprinted, heading straight for the Resistance Organization's base.

"Stop!"

A cold, sharp female voice suddenly rang out from behind, instantly locking onto his figure.

"Who are you? I've never seen you in the team."

Huo La halted his steps, didn't turn immediately, and feigned ease, replying with a playful grin, "I'm a new member of the team."

"New?"

There was no hint of doubt in the female voice, only bone‑deep coldness and certainty, each word laced with vigilance: "Since the full‑scale war with the Resistance Organization began, headquarters has long stopped recruiting newcomers. That lie is too clumsy; who are you really?"

Huo La sighed inwardly, helpless.

The flimsy excuse was instantly seen through, exposing him completely.

He slowly turned, seeing the newcomer's appearance clearly.

The woman wore sleek leather jacket and pants, accentuating a sharp, flamboyant figure; her fluffy pink curls stood out, and she wore red‑framed glasses, her brows and eyes exuding mature competence and an intimidating presence.

Flash Flame Team senior executive, one of the Carlos Four Heavenly Kings—Pa Qi La.

"Pa Qi La…" Huo La whispered her name subconsciously.

Pa Qi La flinched slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then she drew a playful smile, studying the boy before her: "Oh? So you know me. Then, do I know you?"

Huo La removed his glasses, his other hand already gripping a Pokeball: "You don't know me, but I know you. Introduce yourself, Huo La."
