Chapter 515: The Best Opportunity

Boom—!

A thunderous, earth‑shaking roar exploded, and the entire Galaxy Team Headquarters building shuddered violently.

Huo La and the other two in the confinement room all turned to look out the window.

A room on the lower floor of the headquarters collapsed with a bang, debris and dust billowing everywhere, and a dark, imposing figure burst through the ruins, soaring straight upward with terrifying momentum.

"It's Chi Hong Ge! And a Charizard!" Bilan recognized it at a glance and spoke immediately.

Huo La felt his teeth itch and, helplessly, quipped, "All this commotion, how is it any different from a direct frontal assault on the Galaxy Team? Afraid Chi Ri can't notice, right?"

He said that, but his actions were no slower; he sent Deoxys into action.

Almost simultaneously, an authoritative dragon roar echoed from deep within the Galaxy Team Headquarters to the sky.

A massive dragon‑shaped illusion burst through the roof—it was Groudon's silhouette, its gaze icy as it charged straight toward Chi Hong Ge and the Charizard in the sky.

Two blue Time Roars erupted in succession, tearing the air and lunging at the target.

Huo La frowned and stared intently at the battle.

Although the Rotom Phone detected this Groudon as maxed‑out in stats, its move power was noticeably weaker, far less formidable than the Groudon in his own hand.

Sure enough, as Chi Ri had said, this is only a World Projection Clone; its energy consumption is massive, and its strength has long since dropped sharply.

Mega X Charizard flipped in midair, hard‑blocking the attack; flames and Spacetime Energy collided wildly, and for a moment it actually exchanged blows with the crippled Groudon.

The situation descended into complete chaos.

Paipa hurriedly looked at Huo La and asked anxiously, "Huo La, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Huo La replied decisively, "First, retrieve my Pokemon!"

"While Chi Hong Ge keeps Chi Ri and Groudon occupied, we'll sneak into Chi Ri's room. He can't possibly have the Space‑Time Trio Pokeballs on him at all times."

"Carrying them isn't likely, but getting in is still very difficult."

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Deoxys instantly became alert, its form flashing to appear beside the newcomer, two sharp Battle Tentacles instantly braced behind the opponent, exuding murderous aura.

The newcomer's whole body froze, trembling uncontrollably, lips quivering slightly, and they panicked, "Don't, don't attack! I mean no harm!"

Huo La saw the newcomer clearly and whispered, "Lord of Darkness?"

Lord of Darkness nodded quickly, their face turning pale, "It's me! Could you have it retract its tentacles first… I have a tentacle phobia."

Huo La gave Deoxys a slight nod and said, "It's fine."

Hearing that, Deoxys silently withdrew its tentacles, still hovering nearby, its gaze locked onto Lord of Darkness without any relaxation of vigilance.

Seeing this, Lord of Darkness hurried into the room, deliberately distancing themselves from Deoxys, plopped onto a corner, gulped several breaths of rough air, clearly still quite frightened.

After a while, they finally looked up at Huo La, a hint of surprise in their voice, "I didn't expect… you still have a Pokemon of Deoxys's caliber hidden in your hand."

Huo La ignored Deoxys's topic entirely, got straight to the point, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Lord of Darkness adjusted their glasses, expression calm, "I'm here to tell you how to completely defeat Chi Ri."

Huo La's brows knit tightly, his face instantly turning serious, fully on guard.

"Don't look so skeptical," Lord of Darkness said lightly, "The Chi Hong Ge outside only found the device's weakness and broke the Poké Ball Imprisonment across the whole area because of my guidance; otherwise you'd still be trapped here."

Huo La lifted his gaze to the window; high above, Chi Hong Ge's Mega Charizard and Chi Ri's controlled Groudon were still locked in a fierce, indecisive clash.

Before Huo La could speak, Lord of Darkness skipped the preamble, pulled three rustic Pokeballs from their pocket, and placed them gently on the table before everyone.

They were the Space‑Time Trio Pokeballs that Chi Ri had confiscated.

Huo La's pupils trembled slightly, disbelief flooding his eyes; his body tensed instinctively, yet he hesitated to reach for them.

Paipa and Bilan beside him also froze instantly, instinctively looking at Huo La, full of hesitation.

Huo La raised his hand to stop them from speaking, his gaze locked on Lord of Darkness, each word clear: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Lord of Darkness sighed lightly, tone resigned yet realistic, "What can I do? From start to finish, I only ever wanted to preserve the Galaxy Team."

"Chi Ri's current path is a dead end from start to finish."

They paused briefly, then continued patiently, "I don't oppose the ideal of reshaping the world, and I even acknowledge Chi Ri's ambitions. But now is absolutely not the time to act; it could even be called the most dangerous and foolish moment."

"I just told Chi Hong Ge the same thing earlier."

"If Chi Ri obtains the full Space‑Time Trio power and forcibly launches the plan, expanding his influence, every faction in the Pokemon World will regard the Galaxy Team as the top threat."

"The Galaxy Team's ultimate goal fundamentally conflicts with the League and the powers of each major region. Should he fully rise, the world will unite in a joint siege, and the Galaxy Team will be utterly annihilated, with no one spared."

"Rather than let the Galaxy Team meet its ruin, it's better to eliminate the obstinate Chi Ri now. That way, the Galaxy Team can continue to exist peacefully."

Huo La fell silent upon hearing that, lifted his eyes toward the high‑altitude combatants, pondered briefly, then still slowly shook his head.

"I don't trust you."

Lord of Darkness had anticipated this, nodded calmly, "I understand; if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't easily trust a surrender from an enemy Executive."

"But whether you believe it or not, for you this is the best and safest chance to defeat Chi Ri."

As the words faded, Lord of Darkness lifted a hand and lightly tapped the table.

The three Space‑Time Trio Pokeballs on the table swayed gently, emitting a faint aura, as if responding to Huo La's presence.

Huo La stared at the recovered Pokeballs, then lifted his gaze toward the sky.

In the air, Chi Hong Ge's Mega X Charizard had begun to lose ground, on the brink of defeat at any moment.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, instantly clarifying the pros and cons.

Without any extra hesitation, Huo La reached out and grabbed the three Pokeballs on the table, "Deoxys, Paipa, Bilan, keep your eyes on them the whole time."

Huo La's expression was stern: "Whatever its true purpose, one thing it said correctly—now truly is our best moment to counter Chi Ri."
