—------------------—
Platinum and Serena were both quite smitten with this Galarian Zapdos.
First and foremost, this was a Legendary Pokémon, and the value of a Legendary Pokémon goes without saying.
In this real world, the existence of Legendary Pokémon is noble; their inherent racial talents are simply too exceptional.
Even the weakest Legendary Pokémon wouldn't be weaker than a pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, and their potential is even higher.
Oh, there's one exception; that one was truly a letdown, but that's also the only exception.
Moreover, in Platinum and Serena's current teams, Platinum lacked a Flying-type, and Serena lacked a Fighting-type.
And the Fighting/Flying-type Galarian Zapdos could perfectly fill the gaps in their teams.
"How about we play rock-paper-scissors?" Platinum suggested.
Since both of them wanted this Galarian Zapdos, there was no need to dwell on it.
"Okay! One round decides it." Serena's pretty face turned serious.
This was the fairest method.
The two girls stared at each other, their right hands behind their backs, the atmosphere solemn.
"One, two, three!"
As they counted to three, both girls made their move simultaneously. Serena threw scissors, while Platinum, coincidentally, threw paper.
"Ah? What a shame."
Seeing this, Platinum pouted helplessly.
Her luck was a bit bad, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Then this Zapdos will be yours to catch, but be careful, its strength is not to be underestimated."
Platinum wasn't too dejected; after all, compared to Galarian Zapdos, she valued her friendship with Serena more.
Besides, Mammon also said there would be special 'giants' later, so there was no need to take it too much to heart.
"Mm-hmm~ I know."
Serena nodded, took out a Poké Ball, looked at the wild and powerful Galarian Zapdos, and slowly walked towards it.
At this moment, the Galarian Zapdos also noticed Serena approaching, its bird eyes growing sharper, its fierce gaze flickering.
"Chirp!!"
Galarian Zapdos let out a ferocious shriek at Serena, warning the human.
Because of its annual migration, the Legendary birds would return to the Crown Tundra every year, and during their migration, Galarian Zapdos had encountered humans quite a few times.
However, all the humans who wanted to challenge and catch it were mercilessly defeated by it, pitifully weak.
As time passed, Galarian Zapdos gradually lost patience with these humans, its attitude becoming increasingly irritable.
"Zapdos, I really like you. Let's battle. If you lose to me, become my companion!"
The Poké Ball in Serena's hand gradually enlarged, her eyes looking at this Galarian Zapdos with growing fervor.
Up until now, her main team didn't have a Legendary Pokémon yet.
Although she didn't say it aloud, how could Serena not want one?
But her esteemed Team Rockets colleagues of the same age and gender, Platinum, Rosa, and Hilda, already had Legendary Pokémon.
However, Serena's points weren't enough to exchange for a Legendary Pokémon, and Serena was still very concerned about it.
Because she knew very well that if this continued, her strength would only be further outpaced by Platinum and the others.
But the strong-willed Serena didn't want this!
"Chirp!" Galarian Zapdos let out another wild shriek, its powerful talons constantly tearing at the ground, leaving deep claw marks.
This Galarian form of Zapdos, its aura grew stronger and stronger, making Serena feel a profound pressure.
This Galarian Zapdos was Champion-level!
"Blacephalon!"
Serena's delicate and beautiful face turned solemn as she threw out her Poké Ball.
The Ultra Beast Blacephalon landed in front of Serena, its body twisting and writhing strangely, comical yet unsettling.
The Fire/Ghost-type Blacephalon was the Ultra Beast Serena received from Mammon when she joined Team Rockets.
It must be said, the Ultra Beasts are incredibly strong.
Because Mammon had specifically given her a Elite Four Class-level Blacephalon at the time, Serena saved a great deal of training time.
Coupled with subsequent careful nurturing, this Blacephalon was now a core member of her team, and due to its inherent strength, its combat power even rivaled her ace Greninja.
Serena truly felt the allure of what strength and what stats meant!
"As long as I can catch you, my strength will advance further! I won't be inferior to others!"
Serena's gaze towards Galarian Zapdos grew hotter. After joining Team Rockets, Serena's horizons had indeed broadened.
But pressure was always present.
She was once considered a genius in the eyes of everyone in Kalos; various Gym Leaders and even Champion Kalu Nai of the Kalos League praised her as such.
However, with her horizons expanded to this world, a genius like her truly wasn't much.
Especially after seeing Akari, Serena became even more certain of this point. Compared to a monster like Akari, her talent was merely the threshold for pursuing the peak.
She wanted to prove herself, and to do so, she needed to become stronger!
A few days ago, Serena had just contacted Diantha. Champion Kalu Nai was indeed very kind to her, saying she had received news of a Steel-type Mythical Pokémon.
Diantha would personally go to investigate and confirm it, and once confirmed, Diantha would contact her again.
Serena was truly grateful to Diantha. From their first meeting, Diantha had always looked out for her.
Even knowing that Serena had joined Team Rockets, Ms. Diantha still cared for her with such sincerity and gentleness, even willing to tell her about the Mythical Pokémon.
And what Diantha sought was nothing more than for Serena to challenge her at the Kalos League in the future and become the new Champion!
What an excellent senior she was!
"Come on!"
Serena's eyes became firm. She would definitely not let down Mammon and Ms. Diantha's expectations; she would not be inferior to others!
She was confident she could defeat this Galarian Zapdos. Blacephalon was a Ghost-type Ultra Beast, which could immunize it to Galarian Zapdos's Fighting-type moves.
With such a huge type advantage, she could win!
Galarian Zapdos shrieked wildly, moving its legs and charging at Blacephalon at high speed.
On the other side.
"You are very elegant, and I am very satisfied."
Caitlin's fitted pink long dress skirt trailed gracefully in the breeze, and her waterfall-like golden hair flowed naturally.
The elegant Psychic lady slightly raised her head, looking at the elegant and aloof Galarian Articuno in the air, a gentle smile gracing her lips as she spoke slowly.
The more she looked at Galarian Articuno, the more satisfied she became, because this Legendary bird was very elegant, and an elegant Pokémon perfectly suited an elegant person like her, didn't it?
Galarian Articuno tilted its head slightly, its arrogant eyes looking down at Caitlin.
"So, could I ask you not to resist too much? Otherwise, it will hurt."
A Poké Ball flew out under the control of her Psychic power, and Metagross appeared in front of Caitlin.
Caitlin slowly extended her hand, her slender, pale palm open, catching the rebounding Poké Ball perfectly. Her tone remained unhurried, filled with a sense of relaxed ease.
Galarian Articuno's bird eyes gleamed with a cold light. This human was a bit arrogant.
And on Mammon's side.
"Chirp~"
Galarian Moltres spread its wings and shrieked, its blue evil eyes looking down at Mammon, who was slowly walking towards it.
Beside Mammon, Diancie bounced along, following him.
"The Galarian form of Moltres, truly cool."
Mammon stopped, observing this evil-auraed Galarian Moltres, and nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to the other 'Legendary birds', Galarian Moltres's black and red body color, and the 'blazing fire' that seemed to burn like flames, were truly stunning.
And it was also a Dark-type, which was very nice. Mammon had never forgotten his goal of building a Dark-type team.
"How about you join me? It'll definitely be better than your current aimless migration."
Mammon extended an invitation to Galarian Moltres.
"Chirp~"
But clearly, Galarian Moltres was not interested. Its arrogant and conceited nature caused a black and red aura to spread around its body at this moment.
Of course, this was not Yveltal's Dark Aura, but Galarian Moltres's own ability.
Because the overwhelming energy within Galarian Moltres's body could transform into a blazing pillar-like aura and emanate outwards, it was called 'Moltres'.
This aura had no substantial effect on powerful Pokémon; it could be considered a 'special effect'.
But this 'special effect' indeed had a strong visual impact; one could tell at a glance that this Pokémon was incredibly powerful.
Mammon was even more pleased.
This was the kind of entrance effect a powerful Pokémon should have!
"Since you're not very willing, I'm not a devil. Let me give you a taste of my power first."
Mammon smiled faintly, not saying anything further.
For most wild Pokémon, it was quite difficult to persuade them directly with words, but it wasn't a big problem.
Just beat them up first.
"Diancie, you come and welcome our new companion."
"Okay~"
Diancie blinked, bounced forward twice, and her body lit up with the colorful light of Mega Evolution.
Ever since receiving the life energy gift from Xerneas, Diancie, filled with life energy, was now able to Mega Evolve freely.
Otherwise, it would still need Mammon, its Trainer, to use a Key Stone in conjunction.
The light of Mega Evolution flashed by, and in the next moment, the even more slender and graceful Super Diancie appeared.
Its entire body shimmered with a faint glow, the diamond on its head transformed into a heart shape, two white ribbons hung down from the crown, and the lower half of its body was replaced by large diamonds.
Noble, beautiful, and dazzling, almost impossible to look at directly!
It was Super Diancie, whose resplendent and beautiful figure was known as the 'Royal Pink Princess'!
This was truly the most beautiful Pokémon in the world according to the Pokedex.
After Mega Evolving, the tenderness and gentleness on Super Diancie's face completely vanished, replaced by nobility and aloofness.
Its aura was completely different!
"Chirp~!"
As if sensing the threat from Super Diancie, Galarian Moltres shrieked loudly, and dark energy condensed in front of it.
Dark Pulse!
A huge black wave broke through the air, incredibly swift.
However, Super Diancie neither dodged nor flinched. She extended her right hand, making a grasping motion, and pink light continuously condensed, forming a slender butterfly longsword.
As Super Diancie elegantly swung the butterfly longsword in a diagonal slash, a pink light blade flashed, and the incoming Dark Pulse was directly cut apart and dissipated by Super Diancie.
It was effortlessly easy, beyond imagination.
"???"
Galarian Moltres's bird eyes widened, and a human-like expression of disbelief appeared on its bird face. How was this possible?
"Diamond Storm."
Super Diancie's light blade pointed directly at Galarian Moltres, and pink light particles filled the sky.
Pink light diamonds, like a cherry blossom rain, surged and swept towards Galarian Moltres in mid-air.
Diamond Storm, Super Diancie's signature move!
Beautiful and captivating, yet deadly!
Galarian Moltres immediately flapped its wings to retreat, trying to dodge, but this Diamond Storm had a very large range and came incredibly fast.
Galarian Moltres had no time to dodge. When it tried to counterattack, it was already too late.
Boom!
The pink 'cherry blossom rain' instantly completely engulfed Galarian Moltres, and the sharp diamonds and fierce wind madly sliced and impacted Galarian Moltres's body.
Making Galarian Moltres let out a painful howl. The Rock-type Diamond Storm dealt high damage to Galarian Moltres.
"So beautiful~"
Platinum, whose gaze happened to turn over, looked at the Diamond Storm and the sparkling, magnificent Super Diancie with hazy eyes. So beautiful!
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the pink 'sky curtain' finally gradually dissipated.
Thud~
Galarian Moltres fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string, crashing onto the ground.
At the same time, a layer of white light glowed around Super Diancie.
This was the effect of Diamond Storm, which had a significant chance to greatly boost the user's Defense.
However, it was completely unnecessary at this moment.
"Diancie, you hit a bit too hard."
Mammon looked at Galarian Moltres, which couldn't even get up. It seemed it hadn't withstood the Diamond Storm just now.
It was probably just barely clinging to life.
"I'm sorry, Mammon, I didn't expect it to be so weak."
Super Diancie tilted her head, looking a little troubled. Or was it that she herself was too strong now?
Ever since receiving the life energy gift from Xerneas, Diancie did feel that her power had significantly improved.
"Emmm…" Mammon couldn't help but fall silent.
"Chirp chirp chirp!!!"
And feeling mocked by this pink lady, the originally dying Galarian Moltres immediately raised its head, chirping curses at Super Diancie.
It was unclear what it was chirping, but it was probably quite vulgar.
Super Diancie's brows visibly furrowed. She swung the butterfly longsword in her hand, the blade pointing directly at this black bird.
!!!
Galarian Moltres's chirping stopped abruptly. It swallowed, looking at the sword tip that was just a tiny bit away from its eye, and wisely shut up.
Damn it! This ugly pink diamond lady, you just wait for this bird-bro!
I've noted this grudge down!
