Chapter 709: Xerneas Awakens
Yang Ming felt his backpack lighten. He looked up and was so shocked that he was speechless.
The charred branch he'd retrieved from the Cave of the End now floated in mid-air, emitting a soft glow. Gradually, its charred bark peeled away, revealing the emerald green branches beneath. Tender green buds quickly sprouted from the branches, growing into lush foliage in the blink of an eye. Then, snow-white flowers blossomed from the branches, emitting bursts of delicate fragrance.
At this point, the changes in the branches still did not stop. In the light, it gradually grew a trunk, limbs, a head, and finally a pair of golden horns. Soon, a giant dark blue deer appeared in front of everyone.
The God of Life in the Kalos region—Xerneas!
"What is this? A Pokémon I've never seen before."
"Is it going to duel with the 'Glorious God'?"
"Hard to say."
Everyone was talking about it. Whether it was the natives of the Ultra Metropolis or the bandits of Ula'ula Island, they were all curious about this mysterious Pokémon. However, the most shocked person was Yang Ming himself.
Back in the Cave of the End, Yang Ming had put himself in great danger to obtain this branch, nearly losing his life several times. But even so, Yang Ming only "suspected" that this branch was related to Xerneas.
At the entrance to the spirit world at the bottom of the abandoned supermarket, this charred branch came into play for the first time, absorbing all of Giratina's remaining power, allowing Yang Ming to finally defeat the giant Gengar.
But at that time, the branch still had not transformed into a Pokémon, and Yang Ming's previous guess was still not confirmed.
Until now, all the speculations have been confirmed. The charred branch is indeed the body of Xerneas.
Yang Ming was both surprised and happy. He was happy because he now had one more trump card to use; but he was also shocked because Xerneas appeared in public. Would other strong men suspect that this matter was related to him?
Yang Ming looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that everyone else's attention was on Xerneas.
"Huh, luckily no one else discovered the relationship between me and Xerneas." Yang Ming thought to himself.
In fact, there was one person who discovered this secret, and that was Kahili, who had always been with Yang Ming. However, Kahili did not want to ask about Yang Ming's secret, but chose to turn her head away and pretend that she had discovered nothing.
In Kahili's opinion, this matter was originally a secret belonging to Yang Ming alone. The relationship between her and Yang Ming was just a simple cooperation, not even lovers. Rashly asking about Yang Ming's secret would only destroy the relationship between the two. In this case, just pretend that she saw nothing. Anyway, the more cards Yang Ming had, the better it would be for them.
"Ouch~~!"
Necrozma Duskmane's eyes flashed with a chill as he looked at the suddenly appearing Xerneas. Clearly, he mistook this uninvited guest for an intruder.
In a flash, Necrozma Duskmane swiftly pounced upon Xerneas, a brilliant beam of light emanating from its mouth, barreling directly towards him. Xerneas stomped his feet onto the ground, unleashing Earth Control, significantly increasing his abilities.
boom! ! !
The two legendary Pokémon fought fiercely. For a moment, the sky collapsed, the earth broke, and the space collapsed. The Ultra Metropolis, which was already in a mess, was destroyed again. The people fled in all directions, and even some powerful trainers began to flee.
Yang Ming looked at the situation in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Although Xerneas and Necrozma were both legendary Pokémon, there was a restraint relationship between legendary Pokémon. Necrozma - Dusk Mane's attributes were Steel + Psychic, which completely restrained the fairy-type Xerneas.
The reason they were now evenly matched was entirely because Necrozma Duskmane had been slightly injured in the previous battle.
But now all his main Pokémon have lost their combat capabilities, and their Z-Moves, Gigantamaxes, and Mega Evolutions are no longer usable. The only ones still in play are Condor and Magneto. The remaining Pokémon are either countered by Necrozma: Dusk Mane or their own moves are incapable of damaging them.
Yang Ming gritted his teeth, released Vulturena and Magneto, and prepared to make a final fight.
"Don't go," Kahiri grabbed Yang Ming just as he was about to support Xerneas. "This level of battle is simply beyond our reach. You've lost all your powerful trump cards. There's no need to continue fighting."
Looking at Kahili's almost pleading eyes, Yang Ming fell silent.
"Ever since Necrozma went berserk, we've had no way to escape. Since we're going to die anyway, I'm willing to be a fish on the chopping board and make a good fuss." Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
"Not to mention that I've always been very tough. I don't believe that if Bixias and Darko didn't kill me back then, I will die at the hands of Necrozma now."
After saying that, Yang Ming jumped onto Vulturena's back without looking back, ready to risk his life to provide even the slightest bit of assistance to Xerneas.
"Wait a minute," Kahili called out to him again. "You're right. Even the fish on the chopping block will jump a few times before dying. I've decided. I want to have a big fight with you!"
Yang Ming was silent. He wanted to politely decline the other party's request, but his own bold words stopped him. Just as he was still hesitating, three Pokémon flew over from a distance, brightening his eyes.
Two of these three Pokémon are Fluttershy and Flitbat. Yang Ming is very familiar with these two Pokémon, as they are the Pokémon of his students Hau and Gladion respectively. What really surprised him was the giant Pokémon in the middle.
This is a giant bat with an oval head and a crescent-shaped mark on the top of its head. The tail of its huge purple wings are decorated with many star-shaped barbs, and on the edges of the wings are a pair of crescent-shaped blades, flashing cold light in the darkness!
The "Moon Goddess" of the Alola region - Lunala!
How come even this thing has appeared?! Yang Ming's expression suddenly became uncertain. If even Lunala was an enemy, they would really be doomed this time.
"Teacher, we're here to help you," Haou explained, jumping off the Desert Dragonfly's back. "We heard a loud noise in the shelter just now, so we guessed you had an accident and were about to come over to lend a hand, but then Little Nebula's appearance suddenly changed..."
"Then Nebula brought us here." A blonde girl got down from Lunala's back. It was Lillie, who had always been afraid of Pokémon and dared not watch Pokémon fight.
