As the Fairy-type energy took shape, the psychic power that Gardevoir excelled at most also surged into Reshiram's mind like an overwhelming tide.
In the next instant, Reshiram let out a cry of fear, because what he saw was completely different from what everyone else saw!
What he saw was a living, breathing Kyurem, roaring madly, as if it were about to swallow him whole.
Under the immense psychological pressure, the blue flames on Reshiram's body flickered unstably, his body retreating rapidly, afraid that in the next second Kyurem would open its jaws and fuse him into part of its body.
["Idiot… your mental power is obviously strong, yet you don't know how to develop it at all…"]
A trace of disdain flashed through Gardevoir's eyes. Even though this was clearly a one-on-one fight, this guy's mind was still so easily shaken.
For a god, this dragon's life had been far too smooth. He had basically no depth when it came to the mind.
For teammates like this, you had to whip them properly.
Gardevoir lowered her gaze. The moment her right hand slowly lifted, the Fairy-energy Kyurem immediately began to change.
Its body shimmered like a bright full moon, radiating pure light, beams of moonlight spreading outward from its form.
Axel recognized it at a glance. This was a variant application of the Fairy-type move Moonblast.
Ordinary Moonblast uses energy to communicate with the moon, manifesting it and releasing powerful force at the same time.
But under Gardevoir's extreme control over Fairy energy, she had successfully brought the moon down right beside her opponent.
As a result, the power that erupted was several times stronger than usual.
Very quickly, the moonlight touched Reshiram, and the fur on his body immediately curled and withered, turning yellow and corroded beyond recognition.
Fortunately, he finally overcame the fear in his heart and once again condensed a mass of blue flames, surging toward the Kyurem in his sight like a tidal wave.
Gardevoir's eyes curved with a smile as she suddenly withdrew her psychic power, letting Reshiram break free from the illusion.
"Amazing, Gardevoir!", Axel's eyes lit up and he shouted instinctively.
Even he had not expected that Gardevoir's mastery of psychic power had reached such an astonishing level.
False within true, true within false. If Reshiram had seen that the target of his blue flames was such an enormous mass of energy, he would have been scared out of his wits, right?
Sure enough, the instant Axel's voice fell, Reshiram's awareness returned. Immediately after, he saw terrifying flames colliding with massive Fairy-type energy.
Fire-type naturally resists Fairy-type. Even if it cannot counter it outright, it still gains some advantage in attribute clashes.
At the moment the blue flames collided with the Fairy-energy Kyurem, the originally stable Fairy energy exploded rapidly, releasing a terrifying shockwave.
Reshiram completely panicked, his body retreating violently as he tried to dodge this horrifying move.
Facing Gardevoir, who had also already stepped into the domain of gods, the divine authority he took pride in was utterly useless, unable to weaken her power in the slightest.
Gardevoir seized the opportunity, glanced toward Axel, and lightly curled her finger.
["Master… Z!"]
"Alright!", Axel nodded at once. While linking minds with Gardevoir, he used the guidance method he had just learned to simulate an energy circulation route.
In the next moment, with the snap of his fingers, a pillar of intertwined white and pink light erupted from Gardevoir's body and shot straight into the sky.
The two-colored light twisted and entwined, radiating dazzling, beautiful brilliance.
Within the illusory play of light and shadow, Gardevoir's body could be seen splitting into two. A white Gardevoir slowly stepped out from within her, the two holding hands and exchanging a smile.
Terrifying psychic power instantly exploded outward with them at the center, becoming almost tangible, making everyone's eyes involuntarily stick to them.
The only exception was Reshiram.
Sensing the terrifying power in the sky, Reshiram's expression changed drastically and his body began to move rapidly.
He had to complete a Dragon Dance before the opponent unleashed the Z-Move. Otherwise, he would have no power to resist at all.
A vast aura emerged from Reshiram's body. His fur, which had been corroded to a pale yellow, quickly became moist again, faint flames appearing around him as his strength climbed step by step.
But suddenly, a clear and cold voice came from midair, interrupting Reshiram's movements.
["Your reaction speed isn't bad… unfortunately, your psychic power is too weak. Your preparations are doomed to be futile."]
As she spoke, the pink Gardevoir and the white Gardevoir exchanged a glance, light flashing in both of their hands at the same time.
Red light glowed in the white Gardevoir's hand as psychic power surged forth like a flood.
As the red light washed over him, Reshiram, who had just finished using Dragon Dance, immediately felt his mind turn into chaos, drowsiness overtaking him.
The pink Gardevoir softly chanted, letting out a pleasant sound.
As Reshiram's stamina plummeted wildly, he felt demonic sounds pierce his ears, instantly falling into a state of confusion.
Disarming Voice, a Fairy-type move. While dealing heavy damage, it also causes units whose abilities have recently been boosted to fall into confusion for a short time.
Two control moves back to back, plus the damage Gardevoir had already dealt to Reshiram earlier.
This round, Reshiram completely lost all ability to resist.
While Gardevoir was finishing things up, Professor Kukui excitedly explained, "This is the Z power we've newly researched. Not bad, right?"
"Even without Glastrier's participation, Gardevoir can independently complete this transformation. Her flexibility in actual combat is greatly improved."
"The current flaw is that the Z-Crystal can store limited power. It only allows that illusory white Gardevoir to use three moves. It's still pretty good, but it's somewhat regrettable."
"Your next development direction can try to enhance Gardevoir's endurance."
Axel nodded inwardly, feeling a bit of regret at the same time. If he had known earlier, when he met Arceus, he would have asked him for help and brought Diao Chan and Gardevoir back as well. Who knew how they were doing in ancient times now.
But thinking about it now, it probably wasn't too late. Team Rainbow Rocket had already appeared, so there was definitely some Arceus avatar that had gotten beaten up badly.
When the chance came, he could lend a hand, then take advantage of the favor… cough! cough!, then surely the other side would have to give a little something back, right?
Of course, all of that was for later. Right now, Axel already had a way to increase Gardevoir's endurance.
The Fairy power within the Fairy Plate was practically endless. As long as the white Gardevoir borrowed the Plate's power to use moves, it should make up for the lack of energy in the Z-Crystal. It was just unclear how practical it would be in real combat.
Unfortunately, Reshiram was clearly no longer able to withstand the remaining two moves, so the experiment using Fairy Plate energy definitely couldn't be done today.
It could be tried once they entered the Ultra Wormhole. There should be plenty of battles then, just right for testing various tactics.
While Axel was thinking, a certain noble Ghost Dragon's Poké Ball began trembling violently. For some reason, he suddenly felt his whole body go numb, with a constant sense that he was about to die.
Maybe this time, he wouldn't go into the Ultra Wormhole after all. He could stay home and properly look for the white Gardevoir and Diao Chan instead?
He had a strong feeling that if he didn't find those two girls soon, he was going to be dragged back and tied up with the Red Chains again.
