Akira was only joking and didn't actually expect the Dokumeian to make a [moon].
If simply creating a [moon] could give birth to a Lunala, he would have made everything possible by now.
Want Ho-Oh?
Build a Bell Tower or carve statues of the Legendary Beasts.
Want Lugia?
Then dig a deep-sea trench and conjure a month-long storm.
...
With his current abilities, he could achieve all of these. Unfortunately, things weren't that simple.
He had tried shaping the terrain himself, but it yielded no results.
Perhaps only naturally occurring landscapes could spawn the conditions for such beings, while artificially created or related ones couldn't.
This realization dashed his hopes, leaving him no choice but to explore new territories.
But it wasn't much different. With his current strength, traversing the Dark Continent posed no difficulty.
Exploring one place after another might even be more efficient than trying to create the terrain himself.
Shaking off his thoughts, Akira asked the Dokumeian,
"I'm taking it out for a fight. That won't be a problem, right?"
"No, it's—"
"Ah?!"
The Dokumeian was momentarily dazed, but before it could say anything, Akira vanished from its side.
Along with him disappeared the enormous [sun].
...
In the distant wilderness, a radiant orb suddenly appeared in the sky, as if competing with the sun itself, radiating terrifying heat.
The scorching temperatures withered the grass in an instant, and what little moisture there was evaporated rapidly under the intense conditions.
The ground began to crack.
Then, without warning, dark clouds gathered in the once-clear sky, unleashing a torrential downpour.
A vast, ocean-like presence spread outward, filling the surroundings!
The raindrops shimmered with an azure glow, as if the sky had merged with the sea.
Endless streams of blue Aura surged upward, dyeing the heavens in their hue.
The [sun] trembled, its brilliance intensifying as if resisting the encroaching force.
Countless raindrops evaporated long before they could reach it, vaporized by the sheer heat.
But Primal Kyogre didn't rely on such trivial methods.
For a being of its caliber, even a casual strike could bring cataclysmic destruction.
A massive rift tore open in the void, revealing a pair of majestic, glowing eyes.
Then, its entire form emerged fully.
Primal Kyogre's body was semi-transparent, with a yellow light emanating from within.
In an instant, those majestic eyes gleamed with an even deeper azure hue.
It fixed its gaze on the blazing orb in the sky.
The [sun]'s presence was deeply offensive to the deity of the seas.
Perhaps it was the natural enmity between fire and water—Primal Kyogre instinctively found that radiant sphere an eyesore.
Immediately, the surrounding rain converged violently.
Whirling around its body, the oceanic blue light grew even more intense.
In this process, Primal Kyogre fully unleashed its divine might as a Tier One deity, its aura rapidly escalating!
Primal Kyogre slightly raised its head, and a massive blue sphere of light materialized before it, containing terrifyingly immense energy!
At this moment, sensing the violent energy fluctuations, the [Sun] belatedly began to resist.
A terrifying aura radiated outward from it.
In an instant, streams of crimson flames erupted from the [Sun], painting its surroundings into a sea of fire.
These flames were of an exceptionally deep hue, brimming with horrifying energy.
It seemed as though even space itself could be scorched into fragments.
Along the way, spatial distortions rippled endlessly, with void fluctuations and spatial tremors occurring continuously.
This colossal sea of flames surged straight toward Primal Kyogre, as if intending to boil it alive.
For a moment, two vastly different energy waves collided.
The azure ocean waves and the blazing solar energy intertwined in the air.
They forcibly created a spectacular scene in the sky, rivaling the grandest Hollywood blockbusters.
Immediately afterward, fierce gales arose—these were the residual waves generated by the collision of such immense energies.
The next moment, countless beams of cyan-white, dazzling light shot out from the energy sphere.
Each intense beam carried vast amounts of Aura, leaving no doubt about their destructive power.
Water-type move—Origin Pulse!
Even before Primal Kyogre truly unleashed its attack, it managed to block the [Sun]'s full-force strike.
Once [Origin Pulse] was released, the outcome of the battle became even more obvious.
BOOM!!
A deafening explosion resounded through the heavens.
This was because Primal Kyogre's signature move, [Origin Pulse], landed squarely on the [Sun].
The spectacular sea of fire only managed to hold against [Origin Pulse] for a few moments.
The blue symbolizing the ocean and the fiery red representing the sun briefly clashed.
They intertwined across the sky before the blue water broke through the sea of flames with overwhelming force.
With barely any reduction in power, it struck the [Sun] directly behind.
Sizzling sounds rang out incessantly.
Like water droplets falling onto a scorching-hot stone slab, the sounds were nearly identical—only much louder.
At the same time, a massive plume of steam, resembling white fog, shot into the sky, forming a towering white pillar visible even from afar.
After all, the [Sun] was no small entity, and the thick white smoke billowing from it soared straight into the heavens without the slightest tilt.
[False Sun]: A massive, floating solar entity developed by the Dokumeians.
Due to improper handling, this artificial sun, originally intended as an energy source, gained sentience and developed its own will.
It feeds on all things, capable of absorbing anything that contains energy.
It can release extreme heat and employ flame and light-based attacks.
These attacks are doubly effective against creatures with dark or shadowy attributes, making it the ultimate bane of darkness.
However, if its desires are unmet, it becomes the greatest "darkness" in the absence of true dark entities.
It can emit a unique energy capable of mutating matter—precisely the energy the Dokumeians sought.Its energy source is nearly inexhaustible, capable of drawing power from sunlight.
In battles under daylight, it is virtually invincible and nearly impossible to defeat.
However, if deprived of sunlight, its energy will continuously deplete, revealing its weakness.
...
[Fake Sun, huh...]
[Truly living up to the word "fake"]
[Though called a "sun," it still relies on absorbing sunlight to replenish itself—naturally, it's a fake sun.]
Akira narrowed his eyes slightly, staring into the blinding glare of the [Fake Sun], silently musing to himself.
Yet even so, it didn't change the fact that the [Fake Sun] possessed astonishing power.
Not that its strength was exceptionally high.
Rather, its power level was labeled as [Undefined].
This was an explanation Akira knew all too well.
Several of the Pokémon under his command shared this trait.
Without exception, they all wielded terrifying abilities!
The [Fake Sun] was no different.
Its capabilities were far more exaggerated than what was visibly displayed.
As long as it remained under daylight!
It was inherently unbeatable!
Though the [Fake Sun] possessed intelligence, it was no ordinary creature—its very life was energy.
Once its energy was exhausted, it would perish.
But as long as it stayed under the sun, its energy would never run out—an effect bound by the rules of nature.
Coupled with its formidable offensive power, the [Fake Sun] was a true weapon of mass destruction.
Especially during the day, it could expend energy however it pleased, effortlessly capable of annihilating entire regions.
Don't be fooled by how easily that sea of flames was pierced earlier.
It all depended on who was doing the piercing.
Against Primal Kyogre, the [Fake Sun] was still far outmatched.
Add water's natural advantage over fire, and the gap between them widened even further.
Thus, this [Fake Sun] was actually a very promising find.
After reviewing its information, only two words echoed in Akira's mind.
Must capture.
Today, no matter what, he would seize this counterfeit sun and claim it as his own.
Only...
The [Fake Sun] wasn't a normal creature, and he couldn't guarantee Nihilego's abilities would work on it.
Deep down, he doubted it would.
In that case, he'd have to find another way to make this [Fake Sun] obediently follow him.
To become a useful—sun—in his hands.
But before that, he had to subdue it first.
The [Fake Sun] burned at an extreme temperature, and under sunlight, its energy was limitless.
But he already had a plan.
As the white smoke cleared.
The [Fake Sun] below remained largely unaffected.
Still as radiant as before.
In just that short time, it had absorbed vast amounts of energy to replenish its losses.
So brute force wouldn't work.
To capture the [Fake Sun], he had to disable its ability to absorb and utilize energy.
Amidst his racing thoughts, a dark green figure silently materialized beside Akira, exuding the aura of a Legendary Pokémon!
