"Roar!"
Feeling this familiar aura, Eternatus let out an angry, low roar, but if one listened carefully, they would notice the apprehension in Eternatus's roar.
That's right, apprehension!
Because this was one of the two perpetrators who nearly killed it three thousand years ago!
"It's here!"
Ryuga's eyes narrowed.
It was finally here!
And this dazzling blue light, without a doubt, belonged to the Sword King Zacian, the Sword Hero from Galar's legend!
As if to confirm Ryuga's thoughts, the blue light slowly dimmed, and a proud, wolf-like Pokémon slowly landed, raising its head to gaze at Eternatus in the sky with icy eyes.
Zacian!
"This is…"
Oleana was stunned looking at this unfamiliar Pokémon, as she was secretly preparing the plan concerning Eternatus.
Of course, Oleana understood the Darkest Day from three thousand years ago extremely well.
And she instantly recognized this Pokémon with its cold appearance and indifferent aura!
But deep down, Oleana also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zacian's appearance was like a tranquilizer for Oleana.
Because Zacian was clearly here for Eternatus!
"Zacian, one of the two heroes who once saved Galar, but…"
Ryuga showed a hint of a smile, his amber eyes constantly flickering as he carefully observed this legendary hero.
Strictly speaking, Zacian and Zamazenta were, in some respects, very similar to the Black and White Dragons of Unova.
Both were heroes passed down through generations in the people's mouths, but the Black and White Dragons, as the Dragon Gods of Truth and ideal, were in opposing positions.
However, Zacian and Zamazenta were extremely close siblings.
But one common point was that the Black Dragon and White Dragon, in order to fulfill their destiny of Truth and ideal, would actively choose human partners for a showdown.
And Zacian and Zamazenta would also choose suitable brave individuals to bestow the Rusted Sword and Shield, allowing them to save Galar.
"Only Zacian came, that's quite confident."
Glancing around and not finding Zamazenta, Ryuga chuckled, it seemed only Zacian had arrived.
"You knew Zacian and Zamazenta would appear from the start?"
Oleana's brows furrowed upon hearing this, listening to Ryuga's tone, he seemed completely unsurprised by Zacian's emergence.
"Is that strange?" Ryuga's lips curled into a sneer.
"When evil descends, righteous heroes will also make their appearance. Is that very surprising?"
"Ever since the Darkest Day three thousand years ago, Eternatus has been a thorn in the side of Zacian and Zamazenta."
"Eternatus's emergence into the world will inevitably attract the attention of Zacian and Zamazenta."
"Stopping and eliminating Eternatus is their job."
Ryuga slowly said, the current Eternatus cannot yet recover its original form, and one Zacian seems truly enough to handle Eternatus…
"Oleana!"
Raihan's voice came, and Ryuga glanced over, seeing Raihan jogging towards them.
Now that Eternatus and Zacian were in a standoff, they naturally wouldn't bother with him, this 'ant'.
Ryuga lost interest after a glance at Raihan, turning his gaze towards the two legends whose atmosphere was growing increasingly tense.
Everything was going according to plan!
Ryuga's amber eyes constantly flickered.
Obtaining Eternatus was not a simple matter, but it didn't matter.
The situation was still proceeding as he had envisioned.
At this moment, Zacian, staring at Eternatus, its icy aura growing more piercing.
"Scourge!"
Zacian pulled the Rusted Sword from beneath its fur, and with a flash of light, instantly entered its Sword King form.
With a magnificent, shining sword in its mouth, its body patterns became richer, and wing-like decorations extended from its shoulders behind its head.
King of Swords, Zacian!
"Roar!"
Eternatus's white, spotted dragon eyes seemed to flicker with rage, letting out another earth-shattering dragon roar at King of Swords Zacian.
The terrifying crimson glow around its body also grew stronger.
The fated battle between the hero and Eternatus was on the verge of breaking out!
...
At this time, the entire Hammerlocke was still rapidly undergoing evacuation, because everyone understood that Hammerlocke was not safe now.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky was eerily dark, with a black vortex and a faint crimson glow emanating from it.
These bizarre occurrences inevitably caused panic among the populace.
No one had expected the crisis to arrive so suddenly!
And at this moment, Motostoke Stadium.
The pressure in the air grew heavier and heavier.
Zacian slightly crouched, its explosive body ready to launch a sharp offensive at any moment.
Compared to Eternatus's body size of over twenty meters, the three-meter-tall Sword King clearly appeared extremely small.
But its unyielding aura was in no way inferior to Eternatus!
"Roar~"
Accompanied by an ear-splitting dragon roar, Eternatus was the first to lose patience, a purple-black energy sphere condensing before its mouth.
Shadow Ball!
As a Poison-type Dragon, Eternatus's strength was undoubtedly in its Dragon-type and Poison-type attacks, but…
The Steel-type Fairy-type King of Swords Zacian was completely immune to both of these attribute attacks!
It had already learned this lesson three thousand years ago.
Eternatus, of course, knew what moves to use against Zacian.
The lightning-fast Shadow Ball shot straight towards Zacian, which instantly vanished from its spot.
Boom!
The Shadow Ball slammed into the ground, causing a violent explosion.
A blue light continuously moved through the air, rapidly approaching Eternatus.
At terrifying speed, it was like a blue streak of light.
"So fast!"
Oleana stared intently at the blue light, but still couldn't accurately pinpoint King of Swords Zacian's location.
Too fast!
Eternatus's dragon eyes constantly scanned, and red flames gathered in its mouth.
The next moment.
A massive pillar of fire continuously swept through the surroundings!
Flamethrower!
But even the scorching flames couldn't catch up to Zacian.
Its 'petite' size, at this moment, gave the Sword King an advantage.
King of Swords Zacian's icy eyes narrowed, and the blade it held in its mouth glinted with a metallic sheen.
Metal Claw!
It rapidly approached Eternatus, and the metallic-glowing sharp sword swiftly slashed across Eternatus's body.
In the blink of an eye, the blade had cut three times!
"Roar!"
Feeling the pain, Eternatus roared in anger, its massive, sharp claws glowed black, swinging towards King of Swords Zacian.
Dark-type Foul Play!
Zacian moved extremely fast, raising its blade.
The sharp claw heavily smashed onto the blade.
Under the terrifying immense force, Zacian's figure was directly pushed back.
Having briefly forced Zacian back, Eternatus raised its head high, and its earth-shattering dragon roar sounded again.
Mysterious energy particles continuously condensed in Eternatus's mouth.
"Pest!"
Zacian stabilized its form, its eyes sharpening.
A faint blue glow lit up its entire body, and the shining sword transformed into a giant sword, a powerful and sharp pressure continuously emanating.
The next moment, Zacian moved its four limbs, stepping into the air and rapidly assailing Eternatus.
"Behemoth Blade!"
Seeing this, Ryuga's eyes narrowed.
This was Zacian's exclusive move!
"Roar!"
Eternatus gathered its energy, mercilessly unleashing the accumulated energy from its mouth towards the rapidly approaching King of Swords Zacian.
Meteor Beam!
One of the top Rock-type ultimate moves!
The dazzling and massive earth-colored light pillar hit the charging Zacian without the slightest deviation.
Boom!
Meteor Beam vs. Behemoth Blade!
Terrifying energy fluctuations vibrated outwards, and powerful air currents almost turned into a hurricane, spreading in all directions!
Eternatus's Meteor Beam was extremely massive, almost engulfing Zacian's entire body.
But that incredibly sharp blue light did not retreat in the slightest!
Time passed by, minute by minute, and ripples of energy continuously spread out.
As Zacian exerted force again, under the shocked gazes of Oleana and Raihan, the Meteor Beam was forcefully torn open by Zacian, creating a massive gap!
Its four limbs moving frantically, Zacian transformed into a blue blur, breaking through the Meteor Beam and arriving directly in front of Eternatus in the blink of an eye.
"Roar!"
Eternatus roared in furious madness, its Dragon Claw swinging forcefully at Zacian!
But even faster, King of Swords Zacian heavily swung its giant sword.
Behemoth Blade!
A stunning blue sword light cut across Eternatus's body.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and surging golden energy erupted like a tide, frantically impacting Eternatus's bone-dragon body!
Under the immense golden energy baptism, Eternatus roared in pain, its massive body finally unable to maintain balance, falling downwards.
Eternatus heavily crashed onto the ground.
Under its enormous weight, the entire ground shook violently, and the buildings beneath Eternatus were shattered to pieces.
"Indeed, Eternatus in its normal form is not a match for the Sword King."
Seeing Eternatus suppressed by the Sword King, Ryuga frowned slightly, but he wasn't too surprised.
Zacian and Zamazenta's strength is very strong.
Even among all high-tier legends, they rank among the top.
Not to mention they also have the Sword King and Shield King forms for amplification.
Coupled with the fact that Eternatus is far from its peak state and its attributes are completely countered, it's too normal for it not to be a match for Zacian.
If it were Gigantamax Eternatus, even if its attributes were completely countered by the Sword King, in terms of raw power, the Sword King would not be a match for Eternatus.
But there are no ifs.
Moreover, if Eternatus truly Gigantamaxed, then Zamazenta would definitely come out of Slumbering Weald.
At that time, the situation would become even more severe.
"But it doesn't matter. Eternatus isn't that easy to defeat. On the contrary…"
But very quickly, Eternatus crawled out of the ruins, flew up again, and actively charged towards Zacian, who was hovering in the air.
Eternatus is tough!
Ryuga glanced at the two legends who had started fighting again and turned his attention to Oleana and Raihan.
And next to Raihan was a Flygon!
"Interesting, are you two trying to fight me?"
Twisting his neck, Ryuga lightly swung the Poké Ball in his hand, a malicious arc forming at the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth.
...
In the sky, Eternatus and Zacian engaged in a fierce battle.
Under the intense clashes, the ground was constantly affected.
With Motostoke Stadium as the center, Hammerlocke was undergoing unprecedented heavy blows!
And all of this…
"Did you bring Eternatus here?!"
Raihan's face was filled with undisguised rage as he glared at Ryuga.
Although Raihan was hailed as the top Trainer in Galar, second only to Leon, Raihan was actually a very gentle young man.
He often smiled and liked to record his daily life and battles with a camera.
The Pokémon world was not simply beautiful.
For a Trainer pursuing the peak, if they were not the strongest, then it had no meaning!
It was also the biggest regret!
And Raihan was the same.
Although he was a top Trainer admired by others, he had challenged Leon ten times so far!
And his record against him was a ten-game losing streak!
Under his personal forum, there were also many sarcastic comments.
But even so, Raihan was still that gentle and positive Trainer, which showed his excellent mindset.
But at this moment, Raihan felt an unprecedented rage!
"Why would you do this! This is a prosperous human city! But look at it now!"
Raihan clenched his fists tightly, angrily waving his hand as he questioned Ryuga, who still had a mocking smile on his face.
And the direction Raihan waved was precisely the direction where Sword King and Eternatus were fighting.
Smoke-filled, destroyed buildings, and a dark sky—all of this was so suffocating.
Clearly… half an hour ago, this was still a harmonious and peaceful city.
"Don't stare at me like that. I saw it, so what?"
Ryuga's smile deepened as he replied unhurriedly.
"You fellow!"
Perceiving Ryuga's indifferent attitude, Raihan's anger intensified.
Compared to other regions, Galar was actually quite peaceful, and there had never been a rampant evil organization.
This was a region enveloped by a pure competitive atmosphere.
But now, Ryuga made Raihan understand what true evil was!
"An evil person like you!"
Raihan's chest heaved constantly.
He could feel that this person in front of him had no guilt or sympathy, and even his emotions showed no fluctuation.
How could there be such a cold and heartless person in the world? Why?
"Flygon!"
Raihan shouted in a low voice.
He wanted to capture this young man in front of him!
Such a person must never be forgiven!
"A guy like me? It seems Ms. Oleana didn't tell you everything."
"Do you really think your enemy is me?"
Ryuga took a few steps back, looking at Raihan mockingly, and glanced at Oleana behind Raihan.
Raihan was startled by the words and subconsciously turned to look at Oleana.
Yes, it was Oleana who had just told him that Eternatus was brought by Ryuga!
"I haven't caught Eternatus. How do you think I brought such a huge Eternatus in?"
Ryuga scoffed.
At this time, Oleana would naturally push the blame onto him.
After all, his identity was a Team Rocket Executive.
A member of an evil organization, wasn't he the best scapegoat?
"…"
Raihan's face flickered between light and dark.
He was not a fool.
Yes, Eternatus's body was really too big.
If he hadn't caught it, how could this person have suddenly brought Eternatus into the city?
"Raihan, quickly defeat him. The specific details will be explained to you later."
Seeing Raihan hesitate, Oleana said to Raihan in a deep voice.
At this point, the matter of the Energy Plant could absolutely not be concealed, but now the most important thing was to take down this Ryuga!
Eternatus was no match for Zacian.
All three of them could see that.
The only unexpected factor was this Ryuga!
"I understand." Raihan replied after a moment of silence.
Although he had many doubts, perhaps Oleana was not as simple as he had previously thought, but the most important thing now was to defeat this Team Rocket Executive!
"Do you really understand? Or do you think this woman will tell you all the truth?"
Seeing Raihan's eyes sharpen, Ryuga lightly spun the Poké Ball in his hand, teasing him in a sarcastic tone.
"That's none of your business. This is our own…"
Raihan clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep voice, but before he could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by Ryuga.
"Let me tell you, this Eternatus has actually been here underground all along. Yes, the crisis of the Darkest Day has never left you."
"I did bring Eternatus, and that understanding is certainly correct, because I awakened Eternatus."
"But even without me, Eternatus's awakening? It was only a matter of time. I just slightly sped up the process."
Ryuga grinned ferociously, his amber eyes staring into Raihan's eyes.
