After all, Eternatus, this foreign species, is Poison-type and Dragon-type, while Zacian is Fairy-type and Steel-type!
Poison-type is ineffective against Steel-type, and Dragon-type is ineffective against Fairy-type! What more needs to be said?
Zacian is Eternatus's natural bane!
And it's a bane that grinds Eternatus into the ground repeatedly in terms of type advantage!
If it weren't for the raw power of Gigantamax Eternatus, why would Zamazenta have needed to act alongside it three thousand years ago…
…
Motostoke Stadium.
"Roar~"
Eternatus's dragon roar echoed through the sky, dangerous red light overflowed from its body, and in the already faintly dark red sky, layers of dark clouds began to churn violently.
The twisted dark clouds continuously spun, slowly forming a vortex that enveloped the sky!
The Darkest Day!
The scene of three thousand years ago, like an apocalypse, was about to reappear.
The black vortex continuously swelled and expanded, covering the entire Hammerlocke, causing many of Hammerlocke's bewildered residents to become even more panicked and terrified.
Yes, Eternatus, having broken free from its cage, instinctively began to absorb the surrounding energy!
Because at this moment, it was not in its peak state at all.
Its energy was not abundant, and it wanted to replenish its energy.
Especially the Energy Plant below, Eternatus could sense that there was extremely rich energy there!
Three thousand years ago, its body was shattered by Zacian and Zamazenta, turning into wishing stars and wishing star fragments scattered throughout Galar.
Now, it was going to absorb this energy again to restore its peak state!
"Stop, do you want to be shattered by them again?"
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in Eternatus's mind.
Eternatus instinctively paused, and the churning dark clouds in the sky also stopped.
Shattered by them again?
Eternatus lowered its head, looking down.
It was not unfamiliar with this voice.
It was the human who released it.
For some unknown reason, it could feel a familiar aura from that human, and coupled with the fact that he was its 'savior,' Eternatus had a good impression of this human.
But without absorbing energy, how could it recover?
Eternatus tilted its head in confusion, staring at Ryuga.
And it was at this moment.
A blue dragon light pierced through the air, hitting Eternatus.
This was Dragon Pulse, a Dragon-type move!
The Dragon Pulse exploded, and Eternatus felt a slight pain.
Its spotted dragon eyes instantly flickered with dangerous light.
"Raihan!"
Seeing this scene, Ms. Oleana's voice sounded with a hint of surprise.
That's right, the Dragon Pulse just now was used by Raihan's main Pokémon, Duraludon.
Raihan has arrived!
"The delivery boy is here."
Ryuga's lips curved into a smile.
He's really not afraid of death, daring to attack Eternatus so recklessly?
(A/N: Some say that Gigantamax Eternatus is a form after energy overload, but the description of Eternatus using Eternabeam in its normal form says it temporarily returns to its original appearance, meaning Gigantamax is Eternatus's original form. This is how it's set.)
Raihan, the Gym Leader of Hammerlocke, and also the top Trainer in the Galar region, second only to Champion Leon!
And Raihan is also the only Trainer in Galar to date who has defeated Leon's most Pokémon.
Yes, regardless of whether the rumors that Raihan could become a regional Champion in other regions are exaggerated or true.
But Raihan is definitely a Champion-level Trainer without a doubt!
"This big guy…"
Entering Motostoke Stadium, Raihan's handsome face was now tightly furrowed as he looked up at Eternatus in the sky.
In front of him was a bipedal Pokémon, mostly platinum in color, which was Raihan's ace, Duraludon.
(Pic Here)
"The legendary Eternatus? Why is it here?"
Recalling the information about Eternatus in the legends, Raihan's eyelids twitched wildly.
Duraludon's Dragon Pulse had perfectly hit just now, but the opponent seemed completely unaffected.
Raihan already had a bad premonition in his heart.
Now he was certain that this dangerous and terrifying big guy was the legendary 'Darkest Day' Eternatus!
What kind of legend is this? Why would such a dangerous big guy appear in Hammerlocke, and within the city at that?
Raihan was practically speechless, but the grim situation forced him to pull himself together and confront Eternatus.
"Roar!"
Time didn't allow Raihan to think carefully.
Eternatus in the air had already noticed him and Duraludon.
Dazzling and terrifying scarlet light condensed in Eternatus's chest, and that blinding red made Raihan's pupils constrict suddenly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is no joke, going all out right from the start?"
Raihan quickly retreated.
A chilling sense of crisis told him that Eternatus was truly enraged.
A dazzling red beam of light illuminated the dim sky, shooting straight towards Duraludon at an extremely fast speed!
It was one of Eternatus's two exclusive moves—Dynamax Cannon!
"Duraludon, Steel Beam!"
Duraludon let out a low roar, and brilliant light condensed in its mouth.
A huge metallic beam of light heavily met the Dynamax Cannon!
Steel Beam!
Steel Beam is one of the most powerful Steel-type moves, with an in-game power of a staggering one hundred and forty points!
However, Steel Beam's side effect is extremely severe, consuming the user's stamina much more drastically than moves like Double-Edge.
The red and platinum attacks collided violently in mid-air, and powerful energy fluctuations swept out, with rings of shockwaves spreading in all directions.
"The strength is indeed quite decent."
Squinting slightly, Ryuga looked at Duraludon, which wasn't immediately overwhelmed, and didn't hold back his words, praising it.
It was indeed good.
Although it was clear that Eternatus wasn't going all out, even so, the power of a high-level legendary was enough to cause despair.
But Raihan's Duraludon, facing Eternatus head-on, wasn't defeated immediately, which shows that Raihan's reputation is indeed not entirely undeserved.
But… that's all there is to it.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Ryuga's words, Ms. Oleana's brows furrowed. Raihan's strength was only 'quite decent' in Ryuga's mouth?
How arrogant and conceited.
Oleana snorted, but indeed, Raihan alone could not possibly stop Eternatus.
Oleana's eyes were filled with worry, but in the entire Hammerlocke, Raihan was the only top Trainer.
She had already contacted Leon via private message.
However, Leon had just entered the depths of the Crown Tundra not long ago, which is the most dangerous wild area in Galar.
There's no signal deep inside, and she didn't know if Leon would receive her message.
And in this short amount of time.
As Eternatus exerted more power, Duraludon's Steel Beam was immediately shattered by the Dynamax Cannon.
The scarlet beam gave Duraludon no chance at all, hitting it squarely!
Boom!
Terrifying energy exploded, and powerful shockwaves reverberated.
The entire stadium was instantly in a disarray, as if a hurricane had passed through.
Duraludon was also violently sent flying and crashed to the ground, severely injured.
"Duraludon!"
Raihan, who had retreated in advance, hurriedly recalled Duraludon with a Poké Ball.
From the head-on collision just now, Duraludon in this state was no match for Eternatus at all.
Raihan held Duraludon's Poké Ball, and his Dynamax Band flashed with red arcs.
Yes, he was preparing to Gigantamax Duraludon!
Although he knew he was no match for Eternatus, as the Trainer of Hammerlocke Gym, he had to stop Eternatus.
"Ridiculous."
Noticing this scene from afar, Ryuga's lips curved into a mocking smile.
Using Gigantamax in front of Eternatus, the source of Dynamax?
The Poké Ball in Raihan's hand, under the surging red arc energy, strangely swelled a bit, but very quickly, the energy seemed to lose its effect, and the Poké Ball shrunk back to its original state.
Gigantamax failed!
"How could this be?"
With the Gigantamax failure, Raihan was clearly extremely shocked, staring in astonishment at his Dynamax Band, which showed no reaction at all.
"Eternatus is the source of Dynamax energy, and Dynamax itself is formed from Eternatus's energy. Without Eternatus's permission, attempting to use Dynamax is simply a joke."
"Don't you agree, Ms. Oleana?"
Ryuga sneered, casting his playful gaze towards Ms. Oleana, who was pale and biting her lower lip tightly.
Oleana was the creator of the Dynamax Band!
And it was precisely with the adjustment of the Dynamax Band that Trainers could use Dynamax in locations with Dynamax energy!
Oleana's face grew even uglier upon hearing this, because Ryuga was absolutely right!
"Roar~"
But Eternatus didn't care about this at all.
Its dragon eyes locked onto Raihan's position, and the dangerous red light flashed again.
Dynamax Cannon!
An incomparably powerful Dynamax Cannon pierced through the air, shooting at Raihan at high speed!
"Run, Raihan!"
...
The blinding and terrifying scarlet beam of light streaked across the dim sky, shooting straight towards the ground.
This powerful attack was all too familiar!
"Run! Raihan!"
Oleana's pupils constricted suddenly, no longer caring about anything else, she frantically shouted at Raihan.
If this attack truly hit, how could Raihan, with his human flesh and blood, possibly survive?
But it couldn't happen!
Raihan was one of the top Trainers in the Galar region.
If they lost him, the casualties for the Galar region would be too heavy.
"Flygon…"
Raihan, as a top Trainer, naturally had strong instincts.
An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly spread throughout his body.
A Poké Ball appeared in his hand, and he tried to throw it, but it was too late!
Due to his surprise at the Dynamax Band losing its effect, he missed the time to send out his Pokémon, and Eternatus's attack came too quickly.
"I didn't expect I would die here…"
Raihan evidently realized this too.
The terrifying, ominous red light almost filled his entire vision, and a bitter smile appeared on Raihan's lips.
And just then, a blue light flew like lightning, arriving above Raihan.
The sharp blue light was like an incomparably sharp blade.
The incoming Dynamax Cannon was directly and powerfully cut open from the center by the blue light!
Oleana and Raihan both stared in shock at this blue light, because the light was too dense to clearly see what was inside.
But…
That was Eternatus's Dynamax Cannon!
The Dynamax Cannon that had effortlessly shattered even Raihan's Duraludon's Steel Beam!
