Unfortunately, the ultra-ancient Alakazam's intentions had already been anticipated by the ultra-ancient Dragonite. Before the ultra-ancient Alakazam could react, an Ice Beam was released from the ultra-ancient Dragonite's mouth, swiftly hitting the ultra-ancient Alakazam's hands and freezing the palms that wanted to use its psychic spoons.
After sensing the ultra-ancient Gengar's approach, the ultra-ancient Dragonite erupted with terrifying killing intent, instantly intimidating the ultra-ancient Gengar. The ancient dragon pressure emanating from its body immediately made the ultra-ancient Gengar show a timid look, falling into a cowering state and unable to immediately release attack moves.
Purple-gold dragon killing intent covered the ultra-ancient Dragonite's entire body, transforming it into an energy dragon. Then the ultra-ancient Dragonite, transformed into an energy dragon, opened its massive maw to devour the ultra-ancient Gengar's entire body.
"BANG!"
With a violent sound echoing all around, as the smoke cleared, the ultra-ancient Gengar lay on the ground covered in wounds.
Initially, the ultra-ancient Gengar struggled to get up, but was hit in the abdomen by the ultra-ancient Dragonite's sideways Dragon Tail, the impact force making the ultra-ancient Gengar involuntarily retreat several steps and crash into the hillside behind, destroying it.
The ultra-ancient Gengar collapsed weakly on the ground, choosing to surrender to the ultra-ancient Dragonite.
As for the people who had been absorbed into the ultra-ancient Gengar's body, they had long since fainted from dizziness due to the violent shaking during the previous battle.
But this was actually for the better. At least when they woke up, they could escape from inside the ultra-ancient Gengar's body, which was some small comfort.
Afterward, the observations of the watching trio of Ash and his friends:
"This is completely one-sided domination!" Brock complained.
"What exactly were we afraid of before?" Misty agreed.
"Good thing big brother knows the ultra-ancient Dragonite, otherwise our world would have been finished," Ash said leisurely, breathing a sigh of relief together with Pikachu.
"Strange, according to the prophecy's indication, we humans were supposed to be completely helpless, only able to wait for the power that calms everything to transform it all into an orb and return underground..."
At this moment, Hokuto was lost in confusion. Although she was grateful that this world didn't need to be destroyed, she also began to doubt whether all the ultra-ancient civilization prophecies she had researched were wrong.
"BANG!"
Just then, the sound of battle once again caught Hokuto's attention. Hokuto observed the outline of the ultra-ancient Dragonite's body and suddenly recalled the giant dragon figure carved in the corner of the stone tablet, which also seemed to have Pokémonia civilization script carved beneath it.
Excited and expectant, Hokuto didn't immediately tell Ash's trio about her thoughts but turned and ran to the RV behind, bringing back the stored stone tablet.
Ash's trio looked puzzledly at Hokuto, who had run back, focusing their gaze on the stone tablet Hokuto was tightly clutching in her arms.
"The corner of this stone tablet indeed still hides another prophecy!" Hokuto said excitedly, secretly pleased that her research project hadn't been wrong, and also anticipating what this next prophetic text would actually describe.
"The gray dragon? The crimson hero? Trust in the true sword hero?"
Hokuto grasped three key phrases for translation, and these three phrases simultaneously caught the attention of Ash's trio.
"The gray dragon? Could it be referring to the ultra-ancient Dragonite?"
Brock speculated, turning his head to look at the gray stripes on the ultra-ancient Dragonite's body, then nodded to confirm his guess.
"The crimson hero? Could it be referring to Red?!" Misty exclaimed in surprise, looking at Red ahead with shocked eyes.
'That's right, if Red didn't know the ultra-ancient Dragonite, there would be no reason for it to specially come here to help.'
"Trust in the true sword hero?" Ash murmured, as if reminiscing about something...
'I remember Big Brother also told me about the story of believing in the ideal shield hero. They also seemed to be twin brothers...'
Compared to the ultra-ancient Gengar, which had already surrendered and was lying on the ground not daring to move, the nearby ultra-ancient Alakazam still wanted to struggle a bit. After using Recover to restore sufficient stamina, it once again used Psychic to try to seal part of the ultra-ancient Dragonite's body, thus limiting its movement.
Seeing this scene, the ultra-ancient Dragonite simply turned around and ignored the ultra-ancient Gengar behind it. Its massive claws were covered with emerald energy as it used Dragon Claw to destroy the incoming Psychic attack, then opened its mouth to release scorching flames, using Flamethrower to attack in the ultra-ancient Alakazam's direction.
The ultra-ancient Alakazam's eyes released azure light as it used Psychic to control the incoming flames, keeping them suspended in midair while continuously breaking them down.
"Hmm?"
The ultra-ancient Dragonite saw the smugness in the ultra-ancient Alakazam's eyes and sensed something was wrong. The ultra-ancient Dragonite quickly dodged, but was still hit by the Confuse Ray used by the ultra-ancient Gengar behind it, causing a brief confused state.
"I have to admit, as a Ghost-type Pokémon, this old thing's playing-dead acting skills are still worth my recognition and emulation," the thousand-year-old Gengar joked, while also feeling slightly disappointed by the ultra-ancient Dragonite's distraction.
After all, in the thousand-year-old Gengar's view, when dealing with old foxes like the ultra-ancient Gengar, you must use all your power to completely beat them down. Only this way can you avoid being stabbed in the back when distracted.
'Viridian Power, Psychic Power, Aura Power.'
Three types of special power appeared on Red's body in succession, instantly attaching to the ultra-ancient Dragonite and healing it from its brief confused state.
The ultra-ancient Dragonite angrily glared at the embarrassed and uneasy ultra-ancient Gengar behind it. Without waiting for any attempt at explanation, a close-range Dragon Rush successfully made it collapse to the ground with no strength to resist.
"Gulp!"
The ultra-ancient Alakazam fearfully swallowed, its hands holding the spoons inexplicably beginning to tremble. Before the ultra-ancient Alakazam could show a timid look of wanting to apologize, a close-range Thunder Punch landed directly on the ultra-ancient Alakazam's face, with bone-deep painful electrical current spreading throughout its entire body.
"Bzzt bzzt bzzt!"
The completely electrocuted ultra-ancient Alakazam heavily fell to the ground, producing a violent noise and even crushing nearby trees, making Red shake his head sympathetically.
Since the ultra-ancient Gengar had lost its battle ability, the people who had been absorbed into its body were also released. Although they suffered considerable injuries, fortunately humans in this world mostly had some resistance to Pokémon moves, so no fatal harm was caused.
Seeing this scene, Red silently used Viridian Power for everyone, also healing the Team Rocket trio, who were 'innocent civilians.'
Although grateful for Red's kindness toward them, the stubborn Team Rocket trio didn't choose to thank him immediately but turned and hurriedly chose to flee, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight. Only after completely disappearing from view did their voices faintly carry over:
"Thank you!"
Seeing this, Red couldn't help but smile helplessly.
