"This kind of power... Elite Level! It's definitely above Elite Level power! Plus, with such a size, it's not an opponent we can defeat with sheer numbers!"
"The League didn't make it clear, is an Elite Level something we can handle?!"
"Damn it, an ordinary Elite Level is one thing, but an Elite Level of this size can't be dealt with by numbers. How do we fight? A single skill, and our Pokemon are severely injured—what's the point of fighting?!
"Run, run! If we don't flee, we're just waiting for death here!"
"No, there's a small town nearby, if even we retreat, what will happen to the people in that town? As Professional Trainers of the League, we absolutely cannot retreat here!"
The more you understand, the more you realize how strong high-level Pokemon really are!
Among the trainers present were those with experience battling Elite Level Pokemon, and precisely because of that, they knew how vast the gap between them and Elite Level Pokemon was!
Some even thought about fleeing, but under the encouragement of a leading trainer, everyone stayed put. If that giant Gengar and Alakazam got to the town, without Professional Level and Gym Level trainers to fend them off, the entire town could be slaughtered!
Even at the cost of their own lives, they absolutely couldn't let these two Pokemon reach the town below!
Seeing everyone still gathered around, the giant Gengar flashed a sinister smile, then placed its hands in front of itself, emitting a pitch-black energy beam as fast as lightning. The beam was as thick as a building, striking into the crowd in an instant!
The Pokemon in the crowd almost simultaneously unleashed their moves to resist, countless moves battled against the energy beam, but the stalemate lasted less than three seconds before Gengar's Dark Pulse suppressed all their moves!
"Quick, disperse!" someone shouted, then quickly ran to the side. The Pokemon on the ground scattered and fled in all directions, narrowly avoiding the beam.
The Dark Pulse hit the ground in the forest, turning the surrounding trees to dust, leaving a strange, peculiar shape on top of the dust.
The blast wave sent nearby Pokemon and trainers flying, rolling over a dozen times on the ground before finally stopping.
The power gap between both sides was not even on the same level; it was too vast.
After wiping out the trainers on the ground, Gengar set its sights on the sky, where many trainers riding Flying Type Pokemon surrounded it.
It wanted to teach these clueless trainers a lesson.
Gengar displayed a bizarre grin, unleashing a powerful black beam at the group!
Watching from the side, Alakazam picked up its spoon, unleashing a blue light towards the surroundings!
Psybeam, Dark Pulse!
The black and blue beams filled the sky, almost covering all escape routes. Those below were already severely injured just by the shockwave, and if those in the sky were directly hit and crashed, even if they didn't die from the beams, they might die from falling to the ground.
At the moment when the trainers riding Flying Type Pokemon had faces filled with dread and felt all hope was lost, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The moment the figure appeared, all beams in the sky seemed to hit a pause button, freezing in the air without moving.
The trainers, who had their arms shielding in front of them, didn't feel the pain of being hit by the moves, so they slowly lowered their arms and saw a strange scene.
The powerful Psybeam and Dark Pulse in the sky, incredibly, froze in mid-air, as if controlled by something.
"Wh-What's happening? Why did the moves stop?"
"Could it be reinforcements from the League? But there should still be some time before the League's said arrival."
"What kind of Pokemon is that? I've never seen it before."
"..."
Everyone was talking about the shadow in the sky. The figure, compared to the massive Gengar and Alakazam, seemed as insignificant as an ant, yet that small silhouette upheld the entire heavens like a pillar.
The overwhelming beams of destruction appeared to freeze in the Pokemon's hand.
In the next moment, the Pokemon in the sky gently tightened its fingers, and the beams shattered instantly!
The sky filled with stardust fell like raindrops, turning this dark, despairing space into a scene of stunning beauty.
Their moves were effortlessly shattered, and both Gengar and Alakazam watched the tiny hovering figure with serious expressions, feeling an unprecedented pressure from its presence.
Even in ancient times, they had never encountered such a terrifying being.
"So, Mewtwo, can you handle it?" Ash, arriving late on Charizard, floated next to Mewtwo with a relaxed expression.
He had already used the Eye of Insight to look at the data on these two Pokemon, but the data on these two was different from that of normal Pokemon and the ancient Dragonite.
While they both had moves, levels, and six attribute qualifications, next to their name was the word 'Specter.'
Ash didn't know what these Specters were, but it didn't change the fact that these two Pokemon were Elite Peak Level, and with their enormous size and three A-Level attributes among the six, if it wasn't a Champion Level Pokemon coming, they wouldn't be easy to deal with.
To Ash's question, Mewtwo merely cast a sidelong glance at Ash, and a calm voice echoed in Ash's mind: 'You should be asking those two on the opposite side whether they can handle me; you might get an uncertain answer.'
That implied that Ash's question was utterly redundant.
"So confident, huh?" Ash chuckled, not paying much attention to the massive Gengar and Alakazam.
No matter how big these two were, they were, in reality, only at Elite Peak Level strength, giving them a Champion Rating due to their size was already generous.
But how would a Champion fare against the Divine Domain?
As Ash and Mewtwo casually discussed, below, looking at Ash on Charizard, people started to find him familiar.
"Doesn't that person riding Charizard look familiar to you all?"
"He does, who is he... Oh, it's Ash! Ash from Pallet Town!"
"Ash? That Super Rookie, dubbed the Kanto Superstar kid?"
"Yes, he defeated Koga, the provisional Elite, in less than half a year since debuting, and later battled Lorelei Elite eveningly. Although that Pokemon wasn't Lorelei's main force, it was already at Elite Peak. Ash's strength is undeniable."
"Why would Ash be here... Oh right, what's the name of the nearby town again?"
"Pallet Town..."
"Hey, isn't it a coincidence, that town is Ash's hometown!"
"No wonder Ash arrived so fast. With Ash here, he should be able to handle it, right? He's someone who battles evenly with Elites!"
"That's not certain. Against these two Pokemon, Champion Level ones might be needed. Ash is strong, but not unbeatable against a Champion, right? But with Ash's arrival and us, we can definitely hold on until the Elites arrive!"
