Kyurem was forcibly fused by Reshiram using Johan's DNA Splicers, transforming into the legendary White Kyurem!
However, while the two sides fought for control of the body, they were forced to leave the battlefield.
Similarly, this world's Zygarde core "Little Soft" and the white "Z-God" Zygarde summoned by Hoopa Unbound also left the core combat zone and entered the desert after cell fusion to compete for bodily control.
At this point.
Johan's side briefly gained a numerical advantage.
But.
At this moment, Flint had finally reached his limit. Fighting Palkia alone as a mere mortal, although there was some holding back involved, it could still be called legendary—his stubborn will to delay for so long had earned Palkia's recognition.
[You explosive-haired guy...]
Palkia used spatial power to place the unconscious Flint and his Pokémon in a relatively safe location.
But it hadn't escaped Hoopa Unbound's influence, only regaining some rationality during the battle with Flint. Its return once again balanced the numerical scale.
It was precisely at this moment.
Inside Desert Tower, Barza and Meray, with the help of source powers and Johan's Pokémon, finally completed the new "Prison Bottle"!
This became the signal that pushed this battle to its climactic peak!
Sensing this, Hoopa Unbound went completely berserk, freely adding various negative emotions and desires to the legendary Pokémon it had summoned, causing some previously wavering legendary Pokémon to completely unleash themselves under negative influence.
"Hoopa won't disappear!" Hoopa Unbound again activated golden rings, swinging and throwing punches, its target clearly aimed directly at the black Rayquaza!
Signature move, Hyperspace Fury!
But the black Rayquaza had already become familiar with its attack patterns and methods, dodging this attack with an agile turn.
However, the following "Death Wing" caught the black Rayquaza somewhat off-guard, forcing it to use Extreme Speed to try evading.
Under Hoopa Unbound's influence, Yveltal's initial attack target wasn't the black Rayquaza, but Johan on its head.
Seeing Death Wing about to sweep over him, Johan, who had already witnessed this move's terrible power, decisively let go and fell from the black Rayquaza.
Wind roared in his ears.
Falling amid the clash of numerous legendary Pokémon—one careless moment meant being shattered to pieces.
Fortunately.
Johan still had Gengar, little Hoopa and the others by his side.
"Lo! Lolo!"
Little Hoopa reacted much faster, immediately using golden rings to appear below Johan. After passing through, he landed directly on the ground.
"Were you scared, Little Johan?" Little Hoopa floated up from his shoulder, grinning as it withdrew the golden ring while playfully asking.
Johan shook his head, taking a deep breath before exhaling long.
In the air, Mega black Rayquaza released its Mega Evolution state, and Johan's pressure decreased considerably.
After he steadied himself, the black Rayquaza broke through layers of obstacles and came before him again, showing some inquiry in its eyes.
Johan waved his hand, somewhat wearily saying: "I'm fine, but now even without me, dealing with them shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing this, the black Rayquaza nodded, showing some regret in its expression.
What a pity—the Mega state was really great, but it seemed Johan wasn't planning to support another Mega Evolution.
All because of that damn Yveltal!
"Rayquaza, I'll leave it to you." Johan gasped twice before continuing.
The black Rayquaza understood his meaning, nodding and immediately transforming into a straight arrow, soaring into the sky again with layers of sonic boom sounds around it.
"Roar!!!"
Yveltal, come and die!!
Even without Mega Evolution, the black Rayquaza's strength was above Yveltal's. Carrying fury, it headbutted Yveltal toward the sky, continuously ascending!
"Screech!!"
Yveltal's cries of pain grew more distant.
"Bwooo..."
Primal Kyogre's gaze followed Yveltal and the black Rayquaza upward, showing a look of watching a good show.
Back in the day, only it and Groudon had received such treatment.
Suddenly, the river beneath Primal Kyogre trembled, and Precipice Blades rose from the ground again.
"Roar!!"
Who the hell are you looking at? Your opponent is me!
Possibly influenced by Giovanni, Primal Groudon now had a more domineering air.
But as old rivals, this was the second time Primal Kyogre failed to react to Primal Groudon's sudden attack. Did it still want to sneak attack?
"Bwooo!!" (Lying dog!)
Primal Kyogre violently slapped the water and flew up, dodging Precipice Blades while spitting out a water cannon, met by Primal Groudon's Fire Blast!
As two old rivals, it was quite difficult for them to quickly determine a winner in a short time.
Also as old rivals, Dialga was more miserable, facing Giratina alone with almost only defensive power and no chance to fight back, being ground into the earth by Giratina.
However, the attacks of these two great legendary Pokémon were truly rule-based moves of extreme power—wherever they passed, whether tall buildings or low houses, all vanished into nothingness.
Highlighting one point: Giratina, you might as well not fight Dialga.
Compared to these rather noisy ones, the duel between Mewtwo and Shadow Lugia was obviously much quieter.
This Shadow Lugia summoned by Hoopa Unbound wasn't the traditional Ocean Current God, but its mastery of wind power was much stronger than the Lugia Johan knew.
In the complex city full of buildings, it engaged in tense and exciting "speed and passion" with Mewtwo, while Mewtwo maintained a certain initiative throughout.
Similarly "quiet" were Lunala and Zekrom.
Saying they weren't "loud" didn't mean the collisions they caused were small, but rather both legendary Pokémon had flown into mid-air.
Lunala, with the moon's power and its own mastery of shadow power, had the advantage in the moonlit sky as its home field.
What a coincidence.
Zekrom was black enough.
So in their collision, one could only see scattered aftershocks and hear huge sounds, but it was hard to see these two figures.
Of course.
Speaking of truly quiet, that had to be Palkia and Darkrai.
On the pitch-black city streets, Darkrai stood on an electric pole, its single pale blue eye staring intently at the huge guy before it.
During the Alamos Town incident, it had already fought Palkia, and had cooperated when facing Arceus. If not knowing everything about each other, they at least knew quite a lot, so it was still very wary of Palkia's abilities.
"If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move." Darkrai just stared at Palkia, letting cloud-like black mist drift in the wind.
The Palkia facing it also understood this seemingly clever but inwardly reckless Darkrai.
This guy, when reckless, truly feared nothing—it even dared to fight Arceus.
The key point was.
Clearly just a mythical Pokémon, just a Nightmare God, but no matter who it fought, it could surprisingly go fifty-fifty!
Palkia seriously suspected this Darkrai had a hidden authority called "Legendary Pokémon Quality Inspector"—only Pokémon that could go fifty-fifty with it could be called legendary Pokémon.
So...
"If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move." Palkia was inwardly vigilant.
The fight had completely broken out.
At this moment, Johan was physically and mentally exhausted, just waiting for Barza and the others to bring the new "Prison Bottle" to seal Hoopa Unbound's "Shadow" again, then the remaining legendary Pokémon would be easier to handle...
With this thought, Johan suddenly felt a chill behind him, spontaneously developing an idea.
Where was Hoopa Unbound?
Buzz—
A huge golden ring appeared above his head out of nowhere, with night's gloom enveloping him even more.
Looking up sharply.
He saw a massive fist crashing down.
"Ka-kaah!!"
Gengar quickly floated out, rushing toward that falling fist.
Bang!!!
Shockwaves scattered!
Gengar honestly caught that fist bigger than itself!
"Hoopa is the strongest!"
At the corner of towering buildings, Hoopa Unbound quietly appeared, grinning maliciously as it stared at Johan, its sinister aura making him shudder.
"Hoopa is the best at catching!"
This human before it was the real source causing the situation to become like this. As fellow "catchers," now was their moment of confrontation!
Huff, inhale, huff—
Johan's chest was like a bellows, but after just one glance at Hoopa Unbound, he turned to look behind him.
In his aura.
Barza and Meray, along with his own Urshifu, Ceruledge, and Tyranitar, had arrived nearby.
In Barza's hand, he gripped a brand new "Prison Bottle" tightly!
"Hoopa!" Barza held the "Prison Bottle," shouting at Hoopa Unbound.
"No!"
Also seeing the "Prison Bottle," Hoopa Unbound cried out in terror, trying to retreat.
Buzz—
The "Millennium Wrist" on Barza's chest suddenly blazed with golden light as he opened the bottle stopper, his face full of justice.
"Time, sky..."
The "Prison Bottle" suddenly burst with extremely strong suction, and Hoopa Unbound's turning motion was directly frozen!
The next second.
Hoopa Unbound's massive body immediately transformed into black-red mist with a "bang" and was absorbed back into the "Prison Bottle."
"Success!" Meray said joyfully.
Seeing this, Johan swayed slightly and was about to sit down on the ground.
"Garruu!"
"Goka!"
Urshifu and Ceruledge flashed to his sides, supporting him left and right.
"It's over..."
Thud thud thud thud—
Suddenly.
The sound of violent bottle shaking entered his ears.
"I, I..." Barza's forehead veins bulged as he gripped the "Prison Bottle," his face fierce, the "Prison Bottle" in his hands shaking violently.
The bottle shot out!
Johan's heart pounded wildly as he immediately reached for the flying "Prison Bottle."
Boom!!
The moment he touched the "Prison Bottle," a chaotic, violent energy filled with various negative emotions crazily poured into his mind.
In an instant, half-kneeling on the ground, his eyes turned blood-red.
"Hoopa won't disappear!!" Johan spoke in Hoopa Unbound's voice.
"Ka-kaah?"
"Bangi?"
His Pokémon immediately surrounded him.
"Little Johan?" Little Hoopa also quickly came over.
But before the little ones could touch him, Johan gripped the "Prison Bottle" with one hand while raising the other to block his Pokémon and little Hoopa from approaching.
"Ka-kaah!!" Gengar seemed to understand Johan's condition and immediately called out to the "Prison Bottle."
Come at me! I'll fight you for three hundred rounds!
"Hmph..."
Johan grunted, and the "Millennium Wrist" in his inner pocket released gentle energy, reducing the negative energy from Hoopa Unbound's "Shadow" that Johan was bearing.
He suddenly grinned with a fierce expression, saying hoarsely:
"You want to come out?"
"Hoopa! Lo..."
"Shut up!"
At this moment, Johan was like he had split personality disorder, playing two roles by himself, arguing with himself.
"Little Johan..." Little Hoopa was somewhat afraid now.
But Johan squeezed out a gentle smile, indicating it was fine.
Then he said to the Hoopa Unbound inside himself: "Fine, since you want to come out..."
"Then come out!"
Pop!
The new "Prison Bottle's" stopper was pulled out by Johan.
"Teacher Johan?" Seeing this scene, Meray cried out.
"Hahaha!! Hoopa is back!!"
As the "Prison Bottle's" stopper was removed, black-red mist surged out once again, and Hoopa Unbound returned to freedom again, quickly condensing its previous form.
Seeing this scene, Meray was about to ask when Barza stretched out his hand to stop her, shaking his head and saying:
"Trust Teacher Johan."
Although he didn't know whether Teacher Johan doing this was his own will or because he was influenced by the "Shadow."
But look at the outside situation.
Teacher Johan had even handled such huge trouble with legendary Pokémon flying everywhere—besides trusting, what else could they do?
"Little Johan!"
As soon as the Hoopa Unbound "Shadow" disappeared from Johan, little Hoopa immediately rushed over.
"I'm fine." Johan shook his head, indicating his Pokémon didn't need to worry either.
They all looked at the once-again condensed Hoopa Unbound.
"Hoopa." Johan placed his hand on little Hoopa's head, saying softly.
"Mm?"
"Want to recover your true power?"
"True power..." Little Hoopa was stunned.
Images floated in its mind of itself once commanding wind and rain, omnipotent and so powerful.
But quickly, its mind also showed the years in the Valley of Creation, in Dahara City living with Barza and Meray, the process of meeting Johan and Gengar and the others.
Its eyes quickly became determined.
"If recovering power means losing Little Johan and everyone, then Hoopa doesn't want power!"
Behind it, Barza and Meray were moved.
You know, during these years living together, what little Hoopa talked about most was how amazing it used to be, how powerful its strength was, and that it must recover its power and such.
But at this moment, little Hoopa said it didn't want power?
Johan was also stunned for a moment, then smiled even more brilliantly as he vigorously rubbed the little one's head.
"If it's power given by others, of course you can't control it, but if it's power you earn yourself—that's yours!"
"Power... earned myself?" Little Hoopa tilted its head.
"Just like..." Johan paused briefly, then said: "Just like when we made donuts together, the donuts you make yourself taste the best."
Little Hoopa's eyes lit up.
"Hoopa wants it!"
Johan said: "Good, and I also need Hoopa's power to help."
"Help!" Little Hoopa nodded repeatedly. "Hoopa wants to help! Hoopa can help Little Johan!"
"Good child."
Johan stood up again, looking at the restored Hoopa Unbound. Beside him, Gengar, Urshifu, Ceruledge, and Tyranitar all looked over with serious expressions.
He gripped the "Prison Bottle" and exhaled deeply.
Through the earlier contact, he understood.
This thing was just like a Poké Ball. With Hoopa Unbound currently at full strength, plus absorbing massive negative energy during its time out, it could no longer be sealed using just the "Prison Bottle."
How do you normally catch Pokémon?
Of course, defeat them, then throw the ball when the opponent loses fighting ability or becomes weak.
So...
The current situation was the same.
"Let's work together and beat it down!"
"Beat it down!" Little Hoopa clenched its fists, fighting spirit high!
Hoopa Unbound laughed loudly, "Hahaha—without those legendary Pokémon helping, just you all?"
"Hoopa is the strongest!"
Dark Pulse surged forth.
Johan forced himself to concentrate, supporting his weary body to directly face Hoopa Unbound's attacking Dark Pulse.
Boom!!
Shockwaves scattered, a black suit fluttering in the wind, falling into the confused Meray's hands.
In the white smoke, Johan stood calmly and composed, his expression unchanged as he slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Before him, a snow-white Ninetales and a gleaming metal hammer together blocked this Dark Pulse impact!
"Hmph!"
Hoopa Unbound's eyes were fierce as golden rings floated.
It could naturally sense that Johan's current condition wasn't good—in fact, it was very bad, so... strike while he's down!
Six golden rings appeared around Johan, all fists striking out!
Hyperspace Fury!
Buzz buzz buzz—
"Bangi!!"
Tyranitar roared.
Don't ignore us!!
Tyranitar, which hadn't fought Hoopa Unbound before, showed no fear, firmly gripping the ground with both feet and charging toward one of the fists.
At the same time.
Ninetales, Dragonite, Tinkaton, Urshifu, and Ceruledge also used their respective methods to counter each fist.
Freezing World!
Crack crack crack—
The fist was covered in frost.
Outrage, activate!
Bang!!
Red-eyed Dragonite firmly caught the fist with both hands, its feet unmoved, small wings vibrating rapidly.
Gigaton Hammer!
Boom!!
The incredibly heavy hammer pressed against the fist's surface—for a moment it was impossible to tell whether Tinkaton's strength was too great or the hammer too heavy.
But the Fairy energy full of life force wrapping around it made the fist emit "sizzling" burning sounds.
In fist fights, Coach Urshifu had never lost!
Wicked Blow!
The massive fist and tiny fist were evenly matched at this moment?
Fists were like this, let alone blades?
Crossed sword blades accompanied by ghostly blue flames, causing damage while continuously absorbing power—under this ebb and flow, it actually blocked it!
Six fists, six Pokémon!
"Hoopa! Let's see how you block this!"
But above Johan's head, another golden ring appeared as Hoopa Unbound's head emerged, forcefully using Psybeam on Johan!
"Lo! Lo!"
At this time, little Hoopa also moved. Facing the fierce Hoopa Unbound, facing this existence it feared most in its heart, it acted without a moment's hesitation!
Little Hoopa's golden ring appeared above Johan's head, teleporting Hoopa Unbound's Psybeam elsewhere.
Seeing this scene, Hoopa Unbound roared angrily.
"You disappear quickly!"
"Hoopa won't disappear! Hoopa won't disappear! The one who should disappear is you!!" Little Hoopa fearlessly responded.
It was also at this moment that Johan finished rolling up his sleeves while completely withdrawing what little aura power remained.
"About time..." he said flatly.
About time?
About time for what?
"Garchomp, Mega Evolution!" A delicate shout came.
"Garrr!!"
An extremely fierce Garchomp completed Mega Evolution in mid-air, wearing a dragon's armor, charging toward Hoopa Unbound's body location.
Cynthia!
"Hoopa! Lolo!"
If it was energy attacks, Hoopa Unbound could transfer them through dimensional portals, but this kind of pure physical impact...
Hoopa Unbound quickly gathered its psychic power to resist Mega Garchomp's terrifying charge.
Boom!!
"That's it? That's your trump card? One Garchomp?"
Hoopa Unbound's head above Johan scoffed disdainfully.
But Johan slowly looked up, the Key Stone in his hand brilliantly shining.
"This? This is just the prelude."
Johan's expression suddenly became solemn, his stern voice emerging from the dazzling rainbow light of the Key Stone.
"Gengar, Mega Evolution!"
"Ka-kaah!!"
Surging white light interwoven with black mist enveloped Gengar.
As the evolution light faded, Mega Gengar with spikes covering its back and hands made its second appearance today!
Gengar?
Hoopa Unbound's heart jumped.
It had almost forgotten about this guy earlier—when it attacked, it didn't appear to help this human defend, so it wanted to...
But Hoopa Unbound quickly scoffed disdainfully again, "Even adding this Gengar won't change anything."
It had fought Gengar before—even Mega evolved, wasn't it easy to handle?
However, out of wariness, Hoopa Unbound prepared to withdraw.
But the next second.
Its expression changed.
It saw.
Its six arms were actually being held in reverse by Johan's Pokémon!
Even.
Little Hoopa had flown before its head, gritting its teeth as it grabbed its head.
"You..."
"Trying to catch you was really difficult." Johan's pale face showed a smile, wanting you to take one attack was even more difficult.
With its ability to open dimensional portals, plus its increasingly powerful strength...
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
"What am I doing?"
Johan's smile widened, "Either you kill me now, or I kill you!"
The next second, Johan's expression suddenly became fierce as he shouted:
"Gengar! Terastalization!"
A black ball filled with strange power was thrown by Johan into little Hoopa's golden ring, precisely landing on Mega Gengar's head.
Crack—crack crack crack—
Brilliant crystalline crystal completely enveloped Mega Gengar, shattering completely in an instant, and Mega Gengar's appearance seemed to become a crystal sculpture.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Johan flipped his wrist.
In his hand was a Z-Crystal filled with Ghost-type energy!
Seeing that Z-Crystal, Hoopa Unbound's eyes shook like an earthquake as it shouted:
"You're crazy? Can your body handle this?"
"Hey!" Johan remained unmoved, just taking a deep breath, letting air rush into his lungs to stimulate his spirit, "I said, either you kill me now, or..."
Buzz—
The Z-Crystal released incredibly ghostly energy, madly pouring into Gengar's body.
"Ka-kaah!!"
At this moment, Gengar's power seemed to break through some kind of shackle—even its body color seemed to become slightly whiter.
You know.
The "Gengar Legion" that little Hoopa had summoned hadn't left yet!
Hoopa Unbound struggled frantically, its dimensional portals shaking wildly, but it couldn't break free from the Pokémon's restraints in a short time.
"Lolo!!"
Little Hoopa gritted its teeth, hugging Hoopa Unbound's massive head.
Johan felt his body seemed instantly drained.
Honestly, today was truly exhausting.
First Gengar's Mega Evolution, then the black Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, then commanding numerous legendary Pokémon in battle, resisting Hoopa Unbound's negative emotion erosion, and now... Gengar's Mega Evolution, Terastalization, and Z-move all at once!
Johan even doubted whether he could survive afterward.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, when he grabbed the "Prison Bottle" earlier, he had been more or less influenced by Hoopa Unbound's negative emotions.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't "dare" to confront it this way.
But.
Whether he could survive or not, he had to kill this Hoopa Unbound now!
"Gengar!!"
Johan's voice was hoarse, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Million Gengar, Explosion!!"
"Ka-kaah!! (◣_◢)"
Gengar leaped up, the black shadow behind it like a curtain, infinitely expanding and stretching, with numerous differently shaped Gengar appearing within.
At this moment, they seemed to reach some kind of agreement—one Gengar shadow after another merged into Johan's Gengar, finally becoming an incredibly massive black hole!
Everything around seemed to be sucked in and swept up by the black hole's gravity.
Especially the emotional power that Hoopa Unbound possessed, with the portion Gengar had absorbed earlier as a guide, was drawn into the void.
"Ka-kaah!!"
With Gengar's roar.
The incredibly massive black hole struck squarely on the inescapable Hoopa Unbound.
"No—"
Boom!!!
Crack crack crack—
Everything around vanished and was annihilated in countless shattering sounds.
Just like Giratina's antimatter power, the most direct erasure!
"No!!!" Hoopa Unbound, bearing the center of this power, naturally... felt its threat most acutely.
Was this... really power that an ordinary Pokémon could possess?
This was its final thought?
No!
Hoopa Unbound stared deadly at Johan—it was this human, this human!
Always humans, why always humans, why forever humans!!!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
"Don't think you'll have it easy either!"
Bang bang bang!!
Hoopa Unbound's body shattered, and those six gripped arms naturally all broke apart, but before its body completely collapsed, its head broke free from little Hoopa's laughable restraint with one final golden ring, enveloping Johan.
Boom—
"Time, sky..." Barza reacted faster, grabbing the "Prison Bottle" with one hand while chanting the incantation, once again absorbing Hoopa Unbound.
He had to admit, this time the resistance was... countless times weaker.
Just like catching Pokémon—first exhaust their stamina or apply a debuff.
But he still looked worriedly toward the ruins.
Under the golden ring, the collapsed Johan showed a weak smile to the approaching Gengar.
"It's really good having you all with me..."
"Johan!!" The arriving Cynthia widened her disbelieving eyes.
Clatter.
A monocle fell among the ruins.
In an instant.
All the Pokémon froze.
"Oowoo, Oowoo?"
"Ban, Bangi?"
"Cha..."
"Vii..."
The Pokémon looked at that empty place, the remaining monocle, all showing bewildered expressions, unable to even feel panic.
Johan had disappeared?
"Ka-kaah!"
Gengar, having shed all its power, crashed into the center, grabbing the monocle from the ground.
Its eyes were vacant.
It couldn't sense Johan's presence anymore...
The legendary Pokémon in battle nearby, those closest to Johan—Mewtwo, Zekrom, Darkrai and others—all immediately abandoned their opponents and came.
"Little Johan..." Little Hoopa was also vacant, murmuring.
Its mind showed the scene from a few days ago when they made donuts together, when Johan encouraged and recognized it.
"Little Johan!"
Little Hoopa suddenly gritted its teeth, lunging at Barza and snatching the "Prison Bottle" from his hands!
"Power! Power! Power! Give Hoopa back its power! Give me back my power!!"
With a somewhat crying voice, it frantically absorbed power from the "Prison Bottle."
But this time, it wasn't for showing off, not for boasting, not to prove its strength, but to find a way to save Johan!
The meaning of "punishment" was nothing more than this.
Patter—
A crystal drop quietly fell.
Touching the glasses, it shattered into petals.
Gengar held the glasses, biting its lip as it suddenly looked up.
Eyes blood-red!
"Ka-kaah!"
Everyone lift your heads!
Not far away.
"Little Soft," who was fusing with the white "Z-God" Zygarde, noticed this scene as dangerous signals wildly jumped in its heart.
[We're screwed!]
The one person who absolutely shouldn't disappear, how could...
"Ka-kaah!"
Gengar looked fiercely at Mewtwo.
Rayquaza, hold that so-called "death god"!
Then looking at the silent Zekrom and equally fierce Darkrai.
"Ka-kaah!"
Ultimate weapon, it's in Geosenge Town—I want to see it now!
Finally looking at Old Johan's family of partners, they had also put away all sadness, their eyes as determined as Gengar's.
"Ka-kaah!"
Go dig out that damn deer still sleeping in the forest!
Then!
Ho-Oh! That guy who can revive life—I want to see it too!
At this moment, Gengar seemed to inherit Johan's "wisdom," acting as the "big brother" and frantically issuing "orders."
And those blood-red fierce eyes showed not one objection from anyone.
"Ka-kaah!!!!"
Time God, Space God, plus Celebi, Mew—I want them all! All of them appear here immediately! Right now! This instant!!!!
"I'll take down Dialga!"
Cynthia wiped her face, biting her hair tie to put up her hair.
Those eyes made no one dare to look directly.
All the Pokémon, even the legendary Pokémon hearing this, turned to take action.
Just then.
A weak voice sounded.
"Cough cough..."
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone, every Pokémon, after being rigid for two or three seconds, all looked toward the source of the voice.
There.
Little Hoopa, rubbing its nose with tears in its eyes.
Before a golden ring, Johan lay weakly on the ground in tattered shirt.
Gengar's eyes immediately cleared, flying to Johan's side.
Although little Hoopa had brought him back from the "banished dimension," Johan felt his body gradually losing sensation.
And Gengar and the others could see more clearly—Johan's body, starting from his palms, seemed to be gradually becoming transparent.
"Ka-kaah!"
No!
Gengar quickly covered Johan's palms with both hands, seemingly trying to press those scattering particles back.
Cynthia and the other Pokémon, after initial joy, became panicked again.
At this moment, Johan appeared unusually calm.
Now thinking back to the earlier situation, even he had to admit he had indeed been influenced by some of Hoopa Unbound's negative emotions, even through the "Prison Bottle."
After all, these were negative emotions capable of influencing and controlling so many legendary Pokémon.
The crazed Hoopa "Shadow" had brought "madness" to himself as well.
However, through that collision, like a surgical knife, it had precisely separated Hoopa Unbound's power and emotions to a certain degree.
This was also an important reason why little Hoopa could so smoothly reclaim its power.
Speaking of "psychological therapy," it was successful too. Good thing he hadn't gone up unprepared... ow, I miss Cynthia's legs... At this moment, Johan's thoughts were wandering.
Fortunately, he quickly came back to himself.
Showing a weak smile.
His voice hoarse:
"Have Hoopa help find Celebi, call Marshadow back, or... or find Arceus..."
Patter—
Lying on Johan's chest, covering those scattering particles, Gengar looked tragic as another crystal tear fell.
Buzz—
Suddenly.
From the ruins, from Johan's discarded coat, the "Rainbow Wing" floated out.
[Rainbow Wing]: After "eating" free meals for so long...
A shadow suddenly appeared below the "Rainbow Wing," then a small hand reached out to grab the feather. The one emerging was... the "Shadow Guide" Marshadow.
"Marsha?"
Wow, how did it get this bad?
Holding the "Rainbow Wing," Marshadow hurried forward in two steps, pressing the feather against Johan's chest—those scattering light particles visibly slowed.
At the same time.
The "Millennium Wrist" also floated up on its own, emitting sacred light.
Little Hoopa seemed to understand something, or perhaps received guidance, nodding: "Hoopa found it!"
Speaking, it opened a dimensional portal through the golden ring.
"Bii~"
Bang—
"Little Soft" collapsed exhausted, frantically wiping its forehead.
[Close, so close... I almost felt this whole world would have to be 'buried with him'... Was it Hoopa Unbound's final dimensional portal that sent Johan to another world?]
This day, Zygarde recorded an important entry in its "diary"—
Johan, suggest not letting him disappear (crossed out), absolutely cannot let him die (emphasized)!
