Two enormous spheres shot straight toward ga Houndoom and ga Alakazam.
When Dialga and Palkia were concentrating their attack, Marcus and Tony had already finished their "fierce" exchange of glances and imdiately noticed the incoming strike.
The Fighting-type move Aura Sphere was absolutely lethal to the Dark-type ga Houndoom. And for the Psychic-type ga Alakazam, even though it did not suffer from elental disadvantage, with its fragile body it was impossible for it to withstand an attack much larger than its own head.
Although those two spheres were huge, their speed was not slow at all; there was no ti for Marcus and Tony to think.
Just before the Aura Sphere hit ga Houndoom, Marcus's Malamar crossed its arms and appeared in front of it, with a trace of despair in its eyes. At the last mont, Marcus had chosen to protect his signature Pokémon, Houndoom.
Tony's choice was almost identical. Gallade rushed at full speed in front of ga Alakazam, and its arms, sharp as blades, swung out, releasing their final radiance.
Boom!
Boom!
The impacts resounded at the sa ti. The two spheres struck both Pokémon squarely, sending them flying amid the smoke and crashing them to the ground, with no one knowing whether they were still alive.
Marcus's and Tony's faces turned gloomy. Although those were not their main Pokémon, they had invested countless efforts and resources in them. Losing them like this was, for both of them, a devastating blow.
The two of them imdiately moved to their respective Pokémon. This was not the ti for lantation; they had to take advantage of the interval between attacks to flee as soon as possible. As for the other mbers of the church present—did they even have ti to worry about others?
Seeing that their attack had not hit the original targets, a flash of anger appeared in the eyes of Palkia and Dialga; they felt that the dignity of a Legendary Pokémon had been challenged.
What angered them most was that those humans and their Pokémon dared to use the move Teleport in front of the two of them.
If it had been another top-tier Pokémon, like Groudon—for whom the sky is almost a joke—it might not have had many options against a Teleport of that level; after all, these were existences that had surpassed the second barrier of the Champion level.
But for Marcus and Tony, even with a desperate inspiration, to use spatial abilities in front of Palkia... was no different from brandishing a katana in front of Roronoa Zoro.
A purple flash crossed Palkia's eyes, and the two humans along with their Pokémon, who had just disappeared, were forced to reappear, compressed by space.
Just as Marcus and Tony were completely stunned, Dialga and Palkia—who had just "lost face"—were already prepared to attack again. This ti, with no intention of holding back.
Palkia's eyes shone with orange light; the pearl on its shoulder glowed brightly, and a pink energy ford on its forearms. With a slashing motion, it sent a pink energy blade toward Marcus's ga Houndoom.
Palkia's exclusive move!
The Dragon-type move: Spacial Rend!
Dialga, of course, did not lag behind and also used its exclusive move, the Dragon-type move: Roar of Ti.
Dialga's eyes emitted an orange glow; the diamond on its chest radiated a dazzling blue halo. At the sa ti, the tallic fins on its back, the symbol of the power of ti, expanded. It opened its mouth and ford an indigo sphere in front of it, firing a beam of the sa color straight toward ga Alakazam.
When Marcus and Tony were forced out by the power of Teleport, they realized how foolish their action had been. Even spatial energy mobilized by such formidable psychic power was not enough to accomplish anything against an existence like Palkia, the god of space.
At the sa ti, they understood that ga Houndoom and ga Alakazam were the true targets of Dialga and Palkia. As long as those two Pokémon that had surpassed the second barrier of the Champion level were not eliminated, the two Legendary Pokémon would not stop.
Although their hearts were bleeding, Marcus and Tony knew that as long as the green mountains remained, there would be no need to worry about firewood. If they stayed there alongside those Pokémon, they themselves would probably also be destroyed without rcy.
Boom!
Boom!
This ti, the roar caused by the attack was smaller than that of the previous Aura Sphere move.
When Palkia's Spacial Rend struck ga Houndoom, countless fine cracks appeared around its body, as if an invisible glass panel had suddenly ford in front of it.
As soon as Dialga finished using Roar of Ti, the fins on its back returned to their original state.
The struck ga Alakazam did not differ much from Houndoom's fate, except that the latter was shattered into pieces, while ga Alakazam vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed. If not for the faint waves of psychic power still dispersing, it would have been impossible to believe that the Pokémon had been there.
Seeing the result of their work, Dialga and Palkia nodded in satisfaction. Only such power was worthy of their na.
However, when ga Houndoom and ga Alakazam disappeared and they lost their common target, Dialga and Palkia realized sothing: had they just cooperated?
The two Legendary Pokémon, who had never gotten along, began roaring at each other on the mountaintop.
Without those two Pokémon that had reached the power of the second barrier of the Champion level, the remaining Pokémon and trainers no longer managed to attract much of their interest.
Bang!
Like children fighting in the street, one pushed the other, the other responded, and then both disappeared together. Well... not from the street, but from the continent.
Only, when Palkia left, there was a trace of confusion in its eyes.
Before Dialga arrived, it seed that it was going to do sothing... but its mind had turned too quickly and it failed to rember it.
Thus, under the cautious gaze of everyone, the two Legendary Pokémon vanished.
However, after their departure, the mountaintop was still imrsed in absolute silence, and the atmosphere beca subtly strange.
Not only Cain and his group, who acted as subordinates, but also Will and those who used Eeveelutions, as well as Marcus and Tony.
After all, the two of them had suddenly lost their two most powerful Pokémon.
In this way, although their current strength still surpassed that of most of those present, they no longer possessed the power capable of dominating the entire scene.
All that remained to them was the prestige accumulated over ti, enough that no one dared to make rash moves.
Due to the intervention of Dialga and Palkia, Cain and the others had split into two sides. Even those who belonged to the sa side maintained, with tacit understanding, a certain distance from each other.
Although they could not see the expressions beneath the layers of psychic power, Cain was sure that, to a greater or lesser extent, everyone was showing a look of greed at that mont.
Marcus and Tony had lost their strongest Pokémon.
That ant they were no longer invincible! Anyone now had the opportunity to gain sothing from them.
As for how to explain the situation afterward to the bishop of the Sacred Church...
