The gravity of the earth had changed.
Necrozma, like a blazing sun, was seized by the suddenly altered pull of the land and dragged down from the nine heavens.
Its body crashed onto the ground. Its own weight had increased by more than a hundredfold. The mont it landed, it felt as though it were carrying an entire planet on its back.
Every step beca incomparably difficult.
The patterns on Zygarde's chest shone with strange light, changing colors continuously like flowing bands of radiance.
Beautiful beyond compare.
And, more often than not, the more beautiful sothing was, the more terrifying it truly was.
Still, many viewers from other dinsions were deeply puzzled.
"Is this really Zygarde's strongest signature move?"
The gathered energy looked imposing enough.
But…
In terms of direct destructive impact, it felt a little weak. It didn't even seem as impressive as the signature moves Solgaleo and Lunala had used earlier.
Zygarde should have been only slightly weaker than Eternatus.
If its Core Enforcer was supposed to correspond to Eternatus's Eternabeam, then the difference was enormous.
Eternabeam had left the deepest impression on all the viewers—
The power to destroy worlds.
A single blast that could pierce a planet and make it co apart.
At last—
The patterns on Zygarde's chest beca dazzling beyond compare.
A point of green light flashed first, then the energy beam burst forth, swift as a green bolt of lightning.
That green pillar of energy raced across the ground, drawing out a gigantic Z-shaped pattern.
Then the Z-shaped mark exploded.
Flas shot into the sky.
Everyone was stunned.
That was it?
This Z-shaped explosion wasn't even as visually impressive as Charizard's Blast Burn.
The sense of impact was a huge letdown.
All the viewers had held enormous expectations for Zygarde's strongest signature move.
But who would have thought…
That this would be all it showed?
Many began wondering if this really was Zygarde's full power.
But so people seed to notice sothing.
Because after the Z-shaped mark exploded, an endless green radiance spread out.
A layer of erald aning flooded the land.
Tiny green spores floated through the air, finer than dust.
A field enveloped the Ultra World.
Within that field—
For so reason, the brilliance radiating from Necrozma began to visibly dim.
In subspace—
Palkia and Dialga, the two divine beasts, both felt sothing in their hearts.
For an instant, they had the strange illusion that their control over space and ti had beco unfamiliar to them.
For a single mont, it even felt as if the authorities of space and ti no longer belonged to them.
Palkia and Dialga were both startled.
Had sothing happened??
They hurriedly exited imrsive viewing mode, thinking perhaps so problem had arisen in the main world.
Only after checking did they let out a breath of relief.
Their authorities over space and ti were still there!
The two divine beasts were confused. What exactly was going on?
They entered imrsive mode once more and resud watching.
And sure enough—the sa feeling returned.
Their control over space and ti felt deeply alien.
"T-This field is a problem!!"
The video continued.
On screen—
The radiance on Necrozma's body was indeed dimming.
This wasn't an illusion!!!
It was visibly fading to the naked eye.
In less than a few seconds, the brilliant glow covering its body had beco extrely dim, like an old electric bulb giving off a faint orange light.
Or like red-hot lava gradually cooling and darkening.
[Core Enforcer]
[This move can temporarily nullify the law-authority governed by its target, causing its ability to cease functioning for a short ti.]
Countless people's hearts shook violently, and their pupils widened.
Holy crap!?
This move could temporarily seal the law-authority controlled by the opponent?
Wasn't that the sa as stripping away their divine office?
The reason divine beasts were so powerful was precisely because they governed corresponding laws and structures of reality!!
Their greatest foundation was the very laws they controlled!
Zygarde's Core Enforcer was almost the natural bane of all divine beasts—
It could seal the authority they wielded and deprive them of their laws.
This was dinsional suppression!!
"So this… is Zygarde's strongest signature move!!"
Those who had just thought it looked weak now felt their faces burning.
Under this move—
The brilliance on Necrozma's body dimd more and more.
Its whole body seed to be reverting toward that pitch-black, lightless form.
But right then—
Buzz!!
Necrozma's whole body shook, and an even stronger radiance burst forth from within it.
Holy light swept through the entire Ultra World.
The green field spread across the ground shattered like foam.
The floating green spores in the air dissolved instantly beneath that white brilliance.
The radiance shining from Necrozma grew even stronger than before.
The viewers across the dinsions were all frozen.
Was this really the being ranked TOP 2??
Zygarde's Core Enforcer—
Had actually done almost nothing to it!?
The divine beasts of the Pokémon world also found it difficult to believe.
If any one of them had been struck by Zygarde's Core Enforcer, they would have fallen from the clouds and lost their divine brilliance.
And yet Necrozma had simply ignored it.
Then they understood why.
Difference in level.
Ultra Necrozma was absolutely a true Main God-level existence.
Zygarde, though it possessed quasi-Main God-level power, still had a gap between itself and a real Main God.
In the video—
The battle resud.
Charizard, Greninja, Pikachu, and Zygarde all attacked together.
Thunderbolt.
Water Shuriken.
Dragon Rage…
Pikachu, Greninja, and Charizard all unleashed their moves once more toward Necrozma.
As for Zygarde, it sent energy flowing through its chest and down its legs into the ground.
Then an astonishing scene appeared.
The earth itself turned fluid, like a non-Newtonian liquid, rippling violently in waves.
The ground rose into towering surges from all directions, crashing toward Necrozma.
[This is one of Zygarde's signature moves.]
The Trainers of the Pokémon world stared at the liquid-like earth.
Another move they had never seen before.
[Thousand Waves]
This should be Zygarde's final signature move.
Core Enforcer. Land's Wrath. Thousand Arrows. Thousand Waves.
These should be the four signature moves of Zygarde.
Faced with all these attacks—
Necrozma's expression remained calm. Psychic force surged out, forming a protective barrier.
All of the attacks hit the barrier without causing even the slightest ripple.
Just like that, Necrozma allowed all of them to attack freely.
Not a single bit of damage was dealt.
It didn't even have to move a single step.
The viewers across the dinsions were numb with shock.
This was too absurd.
The Divine Beast of Order seed like a child in front of it.
What level was Necrozma exactly!?
The battle continued for several minutes.
And at last, Necrozma, which until now had done almost nothing, finally moved.
Countless points of light spread out from its body like particles.
Those particles combined together in the air—
Then ford a single blade.
A light-blade made entirely out of photon particles.
[Photon Geyser]
[Ultra Necrozma's signature move.]
The blade moved.
Its speed surpassed that of ordinary vision.
No one could follow it with their eyes.
By the ti they realized what had happened—
The blade had already swept across Zygarde, Pikachu, Greninja, and Charizard.
Everyone's pupils widened, their faces going pale.
Were they…
Going to die?
That blade had cut straight across all of them!
It then pierced out behind them and dissolved back into countless light particles, scattering into the air.
Were Zygarde and the others dead??
That blade had gone right through their waists—this should have been impossible!!
But then—
Everyone noticed sothing.
They were still alive.
The audience was dumbfounded.
Hadn't they just been sliced across?
Then, in the next instant—
Zygarde, Charizard, and Greninja all flashed with white light.
Charizard's body began shrinking. The black skin faded away, and the ghostly blue flas returned to orange.
Its form reverted from ga Charizard back to its original state.
Greninja was the sa. It reverted from Ash-Greninja Bond Form back to its ordinary form.
Green light blood from Zygarde's body as countless points of light flowed out of it.
Those were countless Zygarde Cells leaving its body and returning to the Pokémon world, back to their original places.
As more and more Cells departed—
Its body split apart, becoming two giant serpent-like beings again.
This was each of their respective 50% Forms.
Then Zygarde's size changed further.
From serpent forms, they shrank into canine bodies with green collars.
This was the 10% Form.
Green cell-like particles were still streaming out of them.
And when the very last Cell left—
Only two cell-like little creatures remained on the ground.
Those were Zygarde's true cores.
Aside from Pikachu, whose form had not changed—
Zygarde, Greninja, and Charizard had all been returned to their original states.
Returned to origin.
The hearts of the Trainers in the Pokémon world turned cold.
It was over.
They couldn't win.
Even the Divine Beast of Order was no match for Ultra Necrozma.
Now that it had been forced back into its ordinary state, victory was even more impossible.
Their mouths turned bitter.
Necrozma was not an enemy.
It swallowing Solgaleo and Lunala was understandable—that power had originally belonged to it.
But in the future, the world would no longer have daylight and night.
In the chat area—
[Bug Catcher]: It's over. We can't win. Ultra Necrozma is way too strong!!
[Samson Oak]: Better enjoy the sky and the sunlight while you can. In the future, they won't exist anymore.
[lele Island Kahuna]: This really hurts. But it's hard to bla Necrozma for anything. It's already done enough for us. Without it, this world might not even exist.
[Akala Island Kahuna]: Exactly.
[Giovanni]: Aren't you all thinking too simply? A bunch of idiots. Are you sure the current ecosystem can even survive without day and night?
[Giovanni]: Zygarde's mission is what? When the ecological environnt can no longer be maintained, it erases the current ecosystem and resets the world so life can begin again.
[Lance]: ???
[Leon]: ??? What??
As soon as Giovanni's words appeared, everyone was stunned.
Anyone with half a brain could understand this—
If the world no longer had day and night, the ecosystem would undergo total upheaval!!
As the Divine Beast of Order, if Zygarde could not defeat Necrozma and restore day and night—
Then it would destroy all life born under the old ecology.
It would reset the world's ecology to zero, allowing it to evolve anew into sothing capable of surviving without sun and moon.
[Professor Kukui]: Not necessarily. Even if the world sinks into eternal darkness and the current ecosystem can't adapt, ecosystems themselves evolve. They might naturally evolve into sothing that can survive without sun or moon.
[Giovanni]: And how would you know? Can you read a divine beast's mind? Heh. Though Ash will definitely be fine. He's familiar with Zygarde, so even if Zygarde wipes out the current ecosystem, Ash will survive.
[Giovanni]: And besides, maybe Ash can persuade Necrozma? Make it spare the current ecosystem? Stop chasing , idiots. I only want to create divine beasts now. I'm no longer interested in ruling the world.
[Brock]: Rule what world? With so many terrifying divine beasts around, they're the real rulers.
Professor Oak stared at Giovanni's ssages, speechless.
Then he looked at the Ash beside him.
It really did seem to co down to Ash in the future.
Whether the future ecosystem survived or not—
Might all depend on him.
"Why are you all staring at ? I don't even know them yet," Ash said, feeling a little creeped out.
"And besides, I feel like… there's still a turning point," Ash added.
"A turning point?"
Ash scratched his head. "I don't know why. I just feel like there's still hope."
In the video—
Necrozma moved with a thought, and an Ultra Wormhole appeared behind Ash and the others.
It was about to send Ash and the others back to the real world.
And just then—
"Necrozma, I know you swallowed Solgaleo and Lunala because you wanted to restore your own radiance."
"We're also grateful for everything you once did for the world. If it weren't for you, the world…"
"Just now, you could have killed Pikachu and the others directly. But you didn't. I couldn't feel any killing intent from you. You only made their forms fail."
Ash stared steadily at Necrozma and said firmly, "So I know that, toward the whole world, you don't have any malice."
"And toward us, you don't have any malice either."
That was true.
The Photon Geyser from earlier hadn't contained killing force. It had rely undone their transformations.
Necrozma looked at Ash without saying a word, only shifting slightly.
Ash felt the pull of the Ultra Wormhole behind him.
"But after you swallowed day and night, the world will no longer have daylight and darkness."
"All the ecological balance, all the plants—everything will die. The world you once fought so desperately to protect will slowly collapse, and countless Pokémon will perish."
"I know this request is unfair. As the Great God of Radiance, it must have been unbearable for you to exist in endless darkness without your light."
"But I still want to ask you… please give day and night back to the world."
Necrozma looked at Ash.
Ash looked back without the slightest fear, his gaze unwavering.
After a long ti—
Necrozma finally spoke.
"I have been without my radiance for too long. If this continues any further, I will disappear, and the authority I govern will transform into darkness. At that point, the world will truly fall into eternal night."
"My authority of light… would beco darkness…"
Its voice drifted through the Ultra World.
Ash's mouth slowly opened in shock.
He had never imagined that Necrozma swallowing Solgaleo and Lunala had such a reason behind it.
Could the authority of light, if it remained without light too long, actually turn into the authority of darkness?
Would Lunala and Solgaleo die as well?
All the viewers in the Pokémon world were filled with despair.
There really seed to be no solution left.
No other way to resolve this.
In the video—
The light in Ash's eyes dimd as well.
"No. There is still a way. Besides swallowing Solgaleo and Lunala, there is another way for you to recover your radiance."
A voice suddenly rang out.
A middle-aged man ca running over, carrying a purple creature beside him.
It appeared to be an Ultra Beast.
In Alola—
At Aether Foundation headquarters—
Lusamine shot to her feet so suddenly that the chair behind her crashed over.
She stared fixedly at the screen, limitless excitent filling her eyes.
Tears stread down both sides of her face.
Her long-lost husband.
That middle-aged man—
Was him!!
Her husband, who had disappeared so many years ago.
And beside him was…
[This is Mohn, a doctor who accidentally fell into the Ultra Wormhole many years ago and ended up in the Ultra World.]
[The creature by his side is an Ultra Beast.]
[Its na is—]
[Poipole.]
Mohn stepped forward and looked at Necrozma. "Seven years ago, I accidentally opened an Ultra Wormhole and ca to the Ultra World."
He glanced at the Poipole beside him. "It was Poipole that saved . Poipole were born from the toxic substances created when the residual energy from your slumber mixed with teor impacts."
"They know everything about you. They know you lost your radiance. And they also know that if you remain without it too long, the Great God of Radiance will ultimately turn into the God of Darkness."
Mohn continued, "So all these years, I've been researching here in the Ultra World. In the place where you once slept, I collected the energy you left behind and used it for analysis."
"After nearly a hundred million experints…"
Mohn's eyes burned with excitent. "I finally found a thod to restore your light without needing to swallow Solgaleo and Lunala."
The viewers of the Pokémon world felt their hearts shake violently.
He had found a thod that could restore Necrozma's light without swallowing Solgaleo and Lunala!?
Necrozma itself looked at Mohn with doubt.
Mohn said, "I need you to release Solgaleo and Lunala first. I need to borrow their power."
Necrozma t his gaze.
Ash and Mohn stared back nervously.
Necrozma's eyes shifted between Mohn and Ash.
A long ti passed.
At last—
Radiance flared from Necrozma's body, and endless white light engulfed it.
Within the light—
Two figures flew out.
They were Solgaleo and Lunala.
They landed in front of Ash.
Necrozma reverted once more into that pitch-black crystal-like black form.
Then it slowly descended and landed on the ground.
"Thank you for trusting us."
Mohn turned toward Necrozma.
"Can you, just like back when you blocked the teors, temporarily rge the Ultra World into the sky above the main world?"
Necrozma nodded.
Boom!!
Very quickly, the Ultra World moved, floating above the main world and briefly breaking through the world wall, rging with it.
In the sky of the main world, an incomparably gigantic spiral Ultra Wormhole appeared.
"The strength of Solgaleo and Lunala alone still isn't enough. We'll need to borrow the strength of the whole world."
"Zygarde, can your Cells notify the entire world, and have everyone send over their spiritual energy?"
Zygarde said bluntly, "How are they supposed to send it?"
"By simply raising their hands."
Soon, Zygarde's Cells appeared before the people of the world, and a voice rang out.
All the humans of the world looked up at that giant Ultra Wormhole in the sky.
The skies, mountains, lakes, seas, magma, deserts.
Wild Pokémon, all of nature, all things—
Everything was like this.
Hands were raised.
And not just humans.
Humans' Pokémon too.
An incredible scene unfolded.
From every living being, red-and-blue intertwined energy floated up into the air.
In the sky, it looked like red-and-blue aurora.
Vast and endless, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.
Those intertwined red-and-blue energies all poured into the giant Ultra Wormhole above.
That enormous red-and-blue energy appeared.
Like threads being separated from a cocoon, the red-and-blue intertwined energy began to split apart.
The red flowed into Solgaleo's body.
The blue flowed into Lunala's.
Boom—!!
In an instant—
Solgaleo directly transford into its Radiant Sun Form.
Lunala transford into its Full Moon Form.
As more and more energy flowed in, the brilliance on both of them grew stronger and stronger.
Their light illuminated the whole world.
Not only did the sky of the main world regain day and night, sun and moon—
Even the Ultra World's sky now began to alternate between day and night, with the sun and moon taking turns.
"Ah!!!"
Terrifying energy flowed into them.
Solgaleo and Lunala both let out long cries.
Energy poured into them ceaselessly.
One blazed as hot as the sun.
The other shone as cold and grand as the moon.
As the light kept flowing in—
Both of them were gradually subrged in radiance.
At last…
After several minutes—
All of the light had been completely absorbed into their bodies.
Then—
Solgaleo roared, and a beam of light burst out from its body.
