"Garde" Gardevoir appeared behind John.
Taking advantage of Giratina carrying Volo away, it teleported the dark cage containing Azelf before John.
"GAAR!" Mega Garchomp turned and delivered a Dragon Claw.
The sharp dark green cold light easily sliced through the black cage, like using scissors to cut paper, extremely effortless.
Gardevoir immediately followed up with Life Dew, rapidly restoring Azelf's stamina and removing the dark energy from its body.
'Thank you!'The freed but weakened Azelf said gratefully. Being infected by Giratina's dark energy wasn't something that could be easily removed and recovered from.
"No need for thanks. Just remember to give me your power. I've already received the power from Uxie and Mesprit." John said, taking out Uxie's Claw and Mesprit's Wing as proof.
So Azelf also hurriedly gifted its power to John.
[Azelf's Fang: Legendary item, contains special power within, giving living beings willpower. The holder possesses courage that's difficult to destroy and an unyielding will that won't fall.]
John received the item. Without waiting, Uxie's Claw and Mesprit's Wing seemed to sense guidance and immediately flew toward Azelf's Fang. The three items touched together and immediately erupted with dazzling radiance.
Terrifying energy fluctuations transmitted. It seemed something even more powerful was about to emerge.
In the sky, Volo had recovered from his stunned state. Observing John from above, seeing him completely disregard him, snatching Azelf away, and even boldly crafting items right before his eyes, he couldn't help but grind his teeth.
"Steal that item back!" Volo threw out two Pokeballs.
Silver temporal light flickered. Lucario and Garchomp landed on the Temple of Sinnoh's altar, immediately running toward John.
Garchomp's sharp claws rose with dark green light, preparing to use Dragon Claw.
'The fusion will take time. I must ask you to protect me.' Azelf didn't flee like Mesprit had after giving its power. As the relics began to fuse, it stayed with them, guiding the process.
John nodded slightly. He already knew what these three legendary items would ultimately fuse into, so he commanded.
Before Lucario and Garchomp could approach within 10m of John, John's Mega Garchomp proactively attacked, head-on meeting Volo's Garchomp, also with a Dragon Claw that mercilessly dragged it down the mountain peak.
Lucario was met by Greninja flying out from the Pokeball at John's side, greeting it with Spiral Aura Sphere.
BOOM!
Black smoke billowed.
The violent explosion with powerful force sent Lucario flying from the Temple of Sinnoh's peak down the cliff.
Volo's two Pokemon weren't low level. If in reality, these would be Pokemon that only regional champion-level trainers could train. But now John had elevated both his Pokemon's levels and actual strength to Pokemon Master level. Add to that modern skill development and scientific training from the modern era.
Even at similar levels, John's Pokemon's strength exceeded Volo's by a wide margin!
"Why don't you have Giratina fight?"
"Sending out your regular Pokemon is just sending them to their deaths."
"To me, you're no different from Kamado." John kindly reminded him. Only his kind reminder fell on Volo's ears filled with contempt!
"You... arrogant..." Volo was angry from embarrassment, but he couldn't help but admit that what John said wasn't wrong at all.
The process of Mega Garchomp and Greninja crushing Lucario and Garchomp had essentially no difference.
"Since you seek death yourself, then I'll grant your wish!"
"Giratina, tear him apart for me!" Volo's inner emotions shouted loudly, his eyes completely occupied by red light.
The flashing light was no different from Giratina's behind him.
Now it was unknown whether he was commanding Giratina, or whether he was being controlled by Giratina.
ROOOOOAAAARRR!!
Giratina raised its face to the sky and roared. The roar shook heaven and earth. As a dragon that had existed since the beginning of creation, its power represented the world's peak.
Following the roar came scorching dragon breath, spraying from Giratina's mouth toward the sky, dyeing the entire sky dark green.
Mt. Coronet, which had been covered in snow and wind, immediately underwent a world-changing transformation.
Finally, facing Giratina officially.
Had he, who made full preparations, the qualifications to clash with Giratina?!
How should this battle be fought?
Should he use, one of his most powerful combo move?
The Tyranitar and Aggron MEGA Evolution + Gigantamax + Z-Move, using the Supreme Continental Fall?
The one who one shoted Yveltal?
No no no, John had a completely new idea this time.
His choice was to have Gardevoir fight!
Taking out his Z-Power Ring, activating MEGA Evolution!
Bathed in rainbow radiance, Gardevoir immediately changed into a beautiful and magnificent wedding dress.
