My Name is Lucario

Not only did the strange Articuno disappear, but even the chief poacher who was the culprit had slipped away.

He didn't even care about his subordinates who were injured by mistake and lying on the ground.

Without Articuno, the dark clouds that kept dropping hail also dissipated, revealing a clear sky again.

However, Yinye City at this time did not look particularly good.

There were collapsed buildings, cracked ground, and broken branches and leaves everywhere.

Because of the disappearance of the Gigantamax energy, Leo slowly returned to his original size.

"It seems that it is right to give that stone to you."

Daigo also came over and said with a smile.

"Mr. Daigo, you knew from the beginning that this stone could help Leo extremely, extremely... extremely what?"

The girl asked Leo in a low voice.

"Gigantamax."

"Oh, yes, this phenomenon of becoming super huge is called Gigantamax, right?"

Faced with Asuka's question, Daigo nodded and shook his head.

"No, I don't know what this Dynamax phenomenon is."

Daigo finally stopped his gaze on Leo.

"I just saw such a mural in a certain ruin."

Taking out his phone, Daigo clicked a few times and showed a photo to Asuka and Leo:

The photo showed a mural with a pattern carved on it. The mural depicted a humanoid creature standing on two feet with its hands raised high. Behind the creature's head, it seemed to be dragging several long objects. Around the creature, some patterns could be vaguely identified as houses and other buildings, but the size was particularly small compared to the creature. On the creature's hand, a large circle was drawn, and inside the circle was an irregular object with protrusions on all four sides.

"The stone I gave you was picked up in this cave. Although I have consulted many books and studied it privately for a long time, I still haven't found out what this stone is. But on that day, your Pokémon somehow resonated with this stone, so I planned to give this stone to you to see if there would be any special phenomenon. As a result, you all saw it."

Daigo added why he gave this stone to Asuka Teru that day.

Asuka Teru picked up this strange stone and found that the traces of red light flowing on the stone had dimmed at this time.

"Come on, Leo, put this stone away first."

Asuka Teru handed the strange stone to Leo.

Leo recalled the vague memories in his mind and vaguely remembered the information related to Gigantamaxing - this stone is the "Wishing Star", which is an important energy source for the Gigantamaxing of Pokémon - but in the previous life, the "Wishing Star" needed to be made into a Gigantamax wristband by the doctor in the game and let the trainer wear it, so that the Pokémon could Gigantamax in battle. But for some reason, this time, he could Dynamax with just the "Wishing Star".

"Could it be that the Dynamax wristband is just a tool to bind the 'Wishing Star'? The Dynamax is actually achieved because of the effect of the 'Wishing Star'?"

But no matter what, Leo, who successfully defeated Regischiru, was relieved.

Although he did not defeat him head-on, he was able to face a legendary Pokémon with his own strength. After all, after Dynamaxing, he still used his own strength, instead of relying on the wave power that came from nowhere to fight Mewtwo as before.

"Although Steel God Pillar Regischiru is not particularly powerful among legendary beasts, he defeated a 'god' after all!"

Leo thought of his dream of being on par with the world's top legendary beasts, and felt that he had taken a solid step.

However, looking at the Yinye City, which was once a natural city with lush greenery and now mostly turned into a ruin with smoke everywhere, Leo could not smile.

…

On a small path outside Yinye City.

A disheveled figure staggered and ran.

“Damn champion, damn elf, damn…”

It was the poaching group leader who took the opportunity to escape when he saw the situation was not good. He fled in a mess, with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes.

He was a complete loser in this battle. Not only did he fail to grasp the power of the legendary elf he had just obtained, but even his subordinates who had been trained with great difficulty were affected by the battle between the two giant elves. Don’t get me wrong, he was not regretting the death of his subordinates, but was distressed by the effort he had spent to win over and train these subordinates.

However, when the leader looked at the two dark elf balls that he still held firmly in his hands, he finally felt better.

HeStaring at the frost-covered Poké Ball.

"Even if I don't have the power of the Steel Pillar, I still have this, the power of Articuno, one of the three legendary sacred birds."

Although this black Poké Ball was given to him by a member of the mysterious organization, the poaching group had no reason to return the things they had.

As for whether he was afraid that the organization would settle accounts with him later?

The world is so big, how easy is it to search for a person? Moreover, as a member of the dark world, the captain knew many ways to search for people in the dark world. With his experience, plus the fact that the mysterious organization must not carry out the search operation in a high-profile manner, the possibility of catching him was really slim.

Moreover.

The captain couldn't help but smile smugly.

"I still have this. With the cooperation of Articuno and the magical elf-catching effect of this Poké Ball, I can just force those powerful elves, even those high-ranking beasts, and when I have the power of two beasts, what can that organization do to me?"

Yes, in addition to the dark Poké Ball that captured Dark Articuno, the dark Poké Ball that originally captured the Steel Pillar Regisquirrel is also in the hands of the captain.

After Leo and Mega Metagross defeated Regisquirrel, the Poké Ball that captured him released Regisquirrel's capture state after a burst of black mist, and turned into an empty Poké Ball again, which means that the captain can use this dark Poké Ball again to capture new Pokémon.

"Moreover, this Poké Ball seems to be able to make Pokémons become giant? Although I don't know the principle, it is definitely a powerful force."

"I don't believe there will be Pokémon like that one that can grow bigger..."

The captain gnashed his teeth at the thought of being defeated by that unknown Pokémon.

With a lot of thoughts and satisfaction, he had already left Yinye City quite far away.

Only then did the captain breathe a sigh of relief.

However.

"If you take something from someone else, shouldn't you return it?"

A faint voice sounded from behind him.

The captain's body stiffened, and he immediately rushed forward, then quickly turned around and looked at the source of the voice.

Under the shadow of the trees on the side of the road, a tall and straight man walked out.

There was an inexplicable majesty on his face, and his left hand was twirling two spherical objects like walnuts.

"Who are you?"

The captain asked in a gloomy tone.

The man did not speak, but pointed to the two dark elf balls in the captain's hand with his right index finger.

The captain knew at the first moment that the man in front of him must be a member of that mysterious organization.

"Are you from that organization?"

Facing the captain's question, the man still did not speak.

The captain sighed and shrugged.

"Well, your things should indeed be returned to you." He walked forward slowly with two dark elf balls, and then stretched out his hand to hand them over. "...How is it possible!"

"Come out, Articuno! Big Wolfhound! Cunning Tengu! Sonic Monster!"

The hand that was originally stretched out quickly retracted, and then four elf balls including the dark elf ball were thrown out in an instant.

"Bang", "bang", "bang", "bang".

The black-haired big wolfhound, the cunning Tengu like a white straw raincoat, and the Sonic Monster with pores all over the body, the three elves were guarding in front of the captain with their fangs and claws, and behind him, the ice-blue holy bird with black spots all over its body, hovering in the air with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"Once it is in my hands, it is mine."

A ferocious smile bloomed on the captain's face.

Facing three vicious elves and the weird but still majestic Articuno, the man seemed to have no eyes for them, but his eyes were scanning the captain, until he saw the empty dark elf ball, his eyes fluctuated a little.

"Idiot."

The man suddenly uttered such words.

"..."

The captain also shut up, and he decided to make this rude man pay the price.

"But at least you did something useful." The man stopped holding the two spherical objects with his left hand. "So, I will mercifully let you know why you are an idiot."

The two spherical objects instantly grew larger, and they were also two black elf balls.

"Molten, Zapdos."

He simply read out the names of the two elves.

"Hu——", two figures rushed out of the elf ball at a very fast speed, and suddenly, the scorching flames and the thunder and lightning filled this deserted path.

"How could you still haveThese two sacred beasts..."

Looking at the two sacred birds covered with black spots like Articuno, the captain's eyes were full of disbelief.

The man shook his finger gently.

"You are wrong..." Black mist emerged from the man, and his eyes instantly emitted black light. "Not two, but three!"

"Yeah!"

The Articuno, which was originally hovering quietly behind the captain, suddenly flew directly in front of the man, and stared at the captain with the other two sacred birds.

"Come back, Articuno! "

The captain was horrified and raised the Dark Elf Ball as if to take back Articuno.

Unfortunately, the situation did not go as planned. Articuno was just like his name. His red eyes contained a bone-chilling chill. He stared at the captain without moving for a moment. The Dark Elf Ball that had originally subdued him did not emit light to take back Articuno like ordinary Elf Balls when the captain called out.

The man said nothing more. He turned around and waved his hand gently.

"Ang——", the three holy birds rushed forward.

…

On this deserted path in Yinye City, except for the proud swallow hiding in the tree next to it and not daring to show its head, no other humans or elves saw this cruel scene.

Tread, step, step, the man calmly stepped over the corpses of the elves lying on the ground and came to the man who was sitting on the ground and retreating continuously.

"Look, if you had returned my things to me earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer like this. ”

The man bent down and picked up the two dark elf balls abandoned by the captain.

“Fortunately, although I didn’t subdue him, the remaining energy fluctuations are still enough, and it’s worth the time I spent.”

“The three elements of fire, lightning, and ice, the Lord of the sky, the Lord of the earth, the Lord of the ocean currents, the ocean, the land, time, space, life, death… This is the world.”

“It’s almost time, it’s almost time…”

The man muttered in a low voice, as if he thought of something, and couldn’t help but smile.

“Who…are you…?”

Unlike the previous question, the captain was sincerely afraid of the man in front of him and the mysterious organization behind him.

“Rebel against the light and serve the darkness. "

The man looked at the captain with an inexplicable expression.

"Since you sacrificed yourself as bait, I will let you feel it..."

In the captain's extremely horrified eyes, the black mist on the man's hand instantly grew larger, and he could only watch as an index finger gently touched his forehead.

"...What is the real dark power. "
