With power surging, Dusk's clothes flapped loudly against her body.
Unlike when she had faced Axel just now, now she was brimming with killing intent.
If those innocent people, those who wanted to save Necrozma by other means, were here, perhaps she might still hesitate.
But now, clearly it was the ancestors of these very people who had used technological means to rob Necrozma of its radiance, and now they wanted the Sun and Moon to bear everything in their place.
More importantly, they had even made her son worry, made her son want to come to this world that never saw daylight.
To Dusk, these people deserved death.
The power of Gigantamax Phantasm smashed down violently. On the ground, the people of Ultra Megalopolis commanded the Ultra Beasts they had subdued, ordering them to attack the massive sphere of light in the sky.
Lightning, pillars of fire, hydro cannons.
All kinds of skills converged in a torrent, smashing into Lunala's Gigantamax Phantasm.
But before the combined strength of the Moon God and Eternatus, these Ultra Beasts, once so arrogant, had no power to resist.
At the instant the skills touched, the Ultra Beasts' attacks popped like bubbles.
Axel's gaze held a trace of surprise as he stared at the point of impact, his heart rolling with towering waves.
This attack's power wasn't any less than the battle scene between Rayquaza and Kyurem back then.
'So this is the power stacked from two first-class gods?'
And it wasn't over yet.
Lunala's figure vanished once more from the sky, and when it reappeared, it was already at the position below the clash of skills.
At such close distance, fear instantly surfaced on the faces of those people from Ultra Megalopolis.
They had just realized that once the other side let go of its pity for them, they were nothing at all.
The so-called balance of power they had once imagined was only because the other side did not wish to annihilate humanity.
Dusk reached toward the silver-robed man at the lead.
His throat bobbed, and he suddenly felt as if he would involuntarily kneel and prostrate himself.
The hand clutching the Poké Ball loosened slightly, an unconscious urge rising in him to present Necrozma's Poké Ball to the woman upon the Moon God, who radiated killing intent as vast as the sea.
"Leader, don't!"
"Hold on, don't give them Necrozma's Poké Ball!"
"We still have Necrozma, we haven't lost!"
Hearing the shouts from those behind him, the silver-robed man wanted to curse.
'Damn it, you're so noble, then why are you hiding behind me?'
'Why don't you take this pressure instead?'
At this moment, Dusk spoke again, the final straw crushing the silver-robed man's will, "Hand it over, and maybe you can walk away alive today."
The man took a deep breath and without hesitation loosened his right hand.
The next instant, Lunala's psychic power locked onto the Poké Ball, lifting it into midair.
A ghostly force smashed down, and the special Poké Ball shattered into powder.
"Mom!", Axel instinctively cried out, wanting Lunala to make another move.
But before he finished speaking, he saw his mother wave her hand.
From Lunala's wings flickered ghostly black light once more, the power of Gigantamax Phantasm condensed again, smashing down mercilessly upon the people of Ultra Megalopolis.
The ground instantly caved into a deep crater, and those people seemed as if they had never existed.
Axel blinked, his throat bobbing.
Just now, he had worried that his mother, being a researcher, might not understand the malice of villains, and had thought to urge her to kill their leader.
But he hadn't expected...
"No wonder Mom was so happy when she saw Gardevoir last time. They really are kindred spirits."
After the people of Ultra Megalopolis died, the Ultra Beasts they had controlled scattered, flying toward the tribe behind the Sun and Moon gods.
Necrozma, too, cast a deep look at the two, then flew back toward its old home, Ultra Megalopolis.
"See how amazing your mom and dad are?", As the dust settled, Dusk looked gently at Axel beside her.
"This time many from Ultra Megalopolis are dead. They won't be able to control Necrozma again anytime soon."
"And now that we have Gigantamax power, we can also speed up awakening Necrozma's consciousness."
"Don't worry about us. Take some time to go to Alola, destroy that passage, and then just wait for us to come home."
"Got it!", Axel nodded heavily.
"And where are your Gardevoir and little Pheromosa?", His mother glanced at his side, not seeing Gardevoir or Pheromosa, and asked.
"Uh~", Axel blinked, his gaze drifting to the sleeping Gardevoir nearby.
'That belly…'
Axel decisively told a small lie, "Gardevoir's in her Poké Ball sleeping."
"Yo?", Just then, Pheromosa's voice sounded.
The next moment, a strange power surged from her, and the black hole instantly drew upon her link with the Ultra Hole, pulling dream into reality.
Pheromosa looked joyfully at her god's family, scooping up the Gardevoir beside her.
"Yo~"
'God's family, Gardevoir-nee is right here!'
Axel: "???"
'Damn it, Pheromosa, after all our bond, you still listen to my mom?'
Dusk's gaze fell on Pheromosa and Gardevoir. She was first surprised, then the corners of her lips curved in a faint smile.
"Seems like your bond with your Pokémon is quite close?"
"What do you mean close, wife?", Along with a beam of sunlight, Axel heard his dad's bold voice from the other side of the black hole.
But before his dad could get closer, a ghostly light flashed over Lunala's body.
The next instant, Solgaleo's body shot backward like a cannonball.
"Trash, fighting so conservatively just now, making your son worry for nothing."
"And this, what's there for you to see?"
After a typical couple's spat, seeing Axel stunned, Dusk reached her hand through the black hole and gently patted her son's head.
"After being away so long, I thought you'd have grown up childhood sweethearts with Elsie family's little girl. Didn't expect it to turn out like this."
"Not bad. I was just wondering what gift to prepare for my daughter-in-law when we returned."
"Now it seems it'll be simple."
"Cough! Cough!", Axel cleared his throat, "Actually, Eva and I also have a good relationship in private…"
Dusk: "???"
"Does that girl know?"
Axel nodded, "Of course she knows."
Dusk blinked, then gave Axel a thumbs-up.
She then searched along Lunala, and four bracelets appeared.
Two were set with strange stones, the other two each embedded with a pink and an orange diamond-shaped crystal.
"This is the special power of the Ultra Hole, Z-Moves. Take these."
"Go to the Sun and Moon Research Institute in Alola. They'll teach you how to use Z-Moves."
"And one more bracelet, give it to little Eva."
"This bracelet is rarer, but type Z-stones are relatively easier to get."
"Okay," Axel nodded, then rubbed his hands a little sheepishly.
"So, um… could I get, like, ten or eight more Z-Bracelets?"
"These things are useless in numbers. Each trainer only needs one. Even if you had many, you could only…"
Mid-sentence, Dusk suddenly noticed a sly gleam flash in Gardevoir's eyes.
Her hands reached through the Ultra Hole, grabbing Dusk's arm, shaking, feeling Gardevoir's plea, Dusk's mouth fell open, staring at Axel in disbelief.
"Could it be…?"
Axel rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah… it is…"
What else could he do?
Even if most of it had been passive, other than Elesa who still kept their relationship mostly about money, the other girls all had a bit of feelings mixed in.
He couldn't favor one over the others, right?
Dusk blinked and pulled out a pile of rings, "Unless you give me seventy or eighty grandkids, I'll charge you with fraud!"
Axel froze, feeling immense pressure.
"What, do you have a throne to inherit or something?"
His mother nodded, eyes falling toward the direction of Ultra Megalopolis.
"I'll work hard!"
Axel: "???"
