Chapter 553 Y Bird: Oh no, it's coming for me!
"Bu-bu-ee?!?"
When the nine-colored tree suddenly rose from the ground, Sylveon was truly startled.
The trainer never said this thing was alive!
And this is just too ridiculous! How did a tree suddenly turn into a Pokémon?
Sylveon was dumbfounded, staring blankly as the giant deer in front of it pushed itself up from the ground, revealing its strong limbs covered in mud.
The ancient tree that had previously been full of life energy and made it feel warm was actually the antlers on the head of the Nine-Colored Deer.
"This is... Xerneas, the god of life?"
Daigo was equally stunned, silently comparing the size difference between the other's and his own Metagross while marveling at it.
"The chances of encountering legendary Pokémon are frighteningly high when I'm with Qingyu!"
"I've barely stepped out the door and I've already bumped into Princess Diancie, a once-in-a-millennium beauty, and the legendary God of Life, Carlos—"
Why have humans come here?
Xerneas didn't speak, but after casually glancing at the people below, an ancient voice filled with vicissitudes immediately resounded in the hearts of everyone present and the Pokémon.
"Lord Xerneas! It is I who have been looking for you!"
Princess Diancie skipped forward, looking at the giant stag with expectant eyes.
"Please defeat the awakened Yveltal and restore peace to the ley lines of Carlos!"
Xerneas didn't reply after hearing this, but instead carefully observed the cute rock sprite in front of him for a while.
A hint of reminiscence flashed in its eyes.
[Unbeknownst to us, a thousand years have already passed ————]
It's time to fulfill my mission once again.
After receiving Xerneas's telepathic message, Princess Diancie, who had been somewhat tense, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It looks like I'll be able to complete my mission on this trip quite easily!
Xerneas closed his eyes, and the interlocking horns on his head suddenly shone brightly, standing out prominently in the lush forest.
"It is unleashing its fairy aura to counter Yveltal's dark aura."
Out of professional habit, Qingyu whispered a comment from the side, while glancing at Princess Diancie, who was still standing there dumbfounded.
"Its aura is full of vigorous life energy, and fairy Pokémon will benefit greatly from absorbing it."
Compared to the naive Princess Diancie, her knowledgeable Sylveon was much more astute. The moment Xerneas released his aura, she narrowed her eyes and tried her best to feel the surging life energy.
Let alone Pokémon, even humans could extend their lifespan by absorbing a little bit of it.
I guess so?
Seeing that Tianxi understood, Qingyu also took a few deep breaths.
I don't know if it's just psychological, but I do feel much more comfortable all over, and even my arms feel stronger.
According to this logic, Sylveon and Diancie's strength must have increased considerably, right?
Xerneas is such a kind god, he really has a good temper.
Qingyu glanced at the group of people next to her who were all immersed in experiencing the fairy aura shared by X Lu, and was immediately filled with emotion.
If other legendary Pokémon were as friendly as it, it feels like most crises in this world wouldn't exist.
However, even in the Pokémon world, the concept of "yin and yang balance" holds true.
If there is such a legendary Pokémon that is willing to selflessly share its energy, then there must also be another Pokémon in the same region that has twice the ability to cause trouble.
I'm talking to you, Yveltal!
Y Bird's passive ability is the exact opposite of X Deer's; it directly uses its dark aura to indiscriminately absorb the energy of all life forms around it.
Now that Xerneas has woken up, it's not exactly staying still.
While Qingyu was pondering, Xernias, who was using the fairy aura to sense the surrounding environment, suddenly frowned.
Yveltal has disappeared.
Has it already awakened ahead of schedule and gone to other places to gather energy?
Humans, can you answer my question?
Qingyu raised her head, looked at the confused Xerneas, and shook her head.
No wonder X Lu felt strange.
Normally, it would be the one that wakes up first and releases its fairy aura, otherwise the whole forest would be drained dry by it!
Rather than saying they were enemies, it's more accurate to say that this is the underlying logic left behind by Arceus.
X Deer releases its aura, Y Bird absorbs it, and the two are quite balanced in some ways.
Once it's well-fed, it can simply lie down and sleep for another thousand years, allowing the X-Deer to accumulate power for the next cycle, thus completing the closed loop.
Of course, if the two fight too fiercely and the ecosystem can't handle it, there's always Zygarde, who can combine into a Gundam at any time, to help Carlos.
But now, Yveltal, which should have been sleeping in the Forest of Orianth, has suddenly disappeared, which is even more terrifying than its premature awakening.
Because the original order was disrupted.
This event may have only happened once before, three thousand years ago, when AZ nearly destroyed the entire Carlos by manufacturing its ultimate weapon.
"No, it shouldn't be awake yet."
"But I've already confirmed its exact location, if you're ready—"
Qingyu paused for a moment before looking at Xiaohupa beside An Xin'er and continuing.
"It will use its magical power to transcend time and space to send the soon-to-awaken Yveltal back to the Forest of Orianth."
"We will help you defeat Yveltal then."
"Hoopa is amazing, let's leave it to Hoopa~"
Little Huba patted his chest and took a dimensional ring from the corner.
After thinking for a moment, Xerneas shook his head.
No, you are unaware of its power.
It's dangerous, so please leave it to me. Only I can withstand its dark aura.
Qingyu hadn't expected that at this moment, Xerneas's first thought would be the safety of them, these "ordinary people."
As expected of a god who brings life, you are so gentle!
Qingyu smiled at it, then stepped forward, passed through Sylveon, and placed her hand on Xerneas's forelimb.
"Please believe me, we are absolutely qualified to be your help."
"After all, this was Arceus's arrangement~"
He spoke his second sentence very softly, and after finishing, he looked up and winked repeatedly at Xerneas.
,
Having received the hint, Xerneas closed his eyes again.
When it sensed the familiar aura within Qingyu's body, it finally stopped hesitating.
So that's how it is; he was actually a messenger chosen by the Creator.
No wonder he knew so much information.
"Well then, I'll leave it to you."
Xerneas nodded, his expression immediately becoming quite serious.
However, please remain within the range of my fairy aura; this power can protect you from Yveltal's influence.
"We will," Daigo said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, now it's Hoopa's turn to perform!"
Little Huba grinned mischievously and eagerly reached his hand into the ring.
As long as you know the general location of the target, its interdimensional ring can not only traverse space, but also easily reach time and even other dimensions!
However, when it reached into the interdimensional ring connecting space and time, it suddenly realized a problem: the current Yveltal was still just a cocoon, so Hoopa could only touch a bird egg that was as hard and heavy as a stone.
With its strength, it seems a bit too heavy to move.
"Hoopa—!"
Hupa thought for a moment, then suddenly withdrew his hand and shouted.
With this roar, Little Hoopa's body suddenly swelled up considerably, quickly transforming into a giant phantom nearly the same height as X-Deer.
"This is... Super Demon God Hoopa???"
Daigo's attempt to control his expression immediately failed, and he looked at Aoba in astonishment.
However, seeing that the other party didn't react much and was instead waiting with interest for Hoopa to perform, Daigo felt a little relieved.
Since Qingyu isn't panicking, then there shouldn't be any problems.
"Hehe, now Hoopa has endless strength!"
Even when it temporarily transforms into Hoopa the Liberator, its tone of voice still carries a hint of childishness, making it quite different from "Super Demon Hoopa".
With his six arms outstretched, Hupa gripped the dimensional ring tightly, forcibly stretching it to about the same size as himself before plunging his entire body into the dimensional hole.
This time, it succeeded.
When the strange stone egg held in Hoopa's arms appeared, the previously calm fairy aura was immediately disrupted.
Another visible crimson aura expanded outward from the stone egg, quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with Xerneas's aura.
Affected by the dark aura, the green grass and trees beneath Hupa's feet and behind him withered instantly, as if a gloomy atmosphere shrouded the surroundings.
"Hupa, put it down quickly!"
An Xin'er frowned subconsciously, a little worried that Huba would be affected by this force.
"Okay~"
Hupa chuckled sheepishly, casually tossed the pebble aside, and quickly transformed back into Little Hupa, hiding behind An Xin'er.
As a cosmic street urchin with an infinite lifespan, its life energy is so abundant that it seems inexhaustible.
Even a mere wisp of evil thought that is separated from the body has maximum resilience, let alone the original body that has recovered all its power.
However, since An Xin'er is worried about me, I'll just listen to her.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Daigo's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the stone egg that was constantly emitting an ominous aura.
Is that Yveltal, the god of death?
No wonder it was considered a disaster that posed a great threat to the entire Carlos region.
Yveltal is about to awaken, you all quickly retreat behind me!
As soon as a crack appeared on the stone egg, everyone heard an urgent telepathic message, and then Xerneas moved.
It moved slowly forward, causing a slight tremor in the ground each time it touched it.
At the same time, it also pushed back the dark aura in front of them a little.
Seemingly sensing the energy from its nemesis, a narrow crack suddenly appeared at the top of the stone cocoon, which was already gradually cracking.
In the darkness, a scarlet eye suddenly opened, and then a pair of blood-red wings stretched out from the crack, appearing before everyone's eyes like the letter "Y".
"Hey——!
A sharp and frantic bird cry rang out, and after several layers of the originally hard stone egg were removed, it gradually began to show color.
It is Yveltal —
Facing the god who symbolizes death at such close range, even Qingyu felt an invisible pressure in his heart.
Centered on the god of death, the dark aura was frantically eroding the fairy aura released by Xerneas.
It has been a thousand years since its last awakening, and this time it seems to be planning to replenish the energy lost over the past thousand years in one go, so its gaze has become extremely aggressive.
Its primary target, of course, is its mortal enemy, Xerneas!
"Hey——!"
Yveltal spread her wings, let out a provocative cry, and then condensed a dark aura, shooting towards Xerneas's location!
Wings of Return to Heaven —
Yveltal's signature move allows her to convert damage into life force, which she can then absorb back into her body, quickly replenishing the stamina she has lost over the years.
Qingyu narrowed his eyes, watching the scarlet beam of light about to strike, but still neither dodged nor flinched.
Because Xerneas had already lowered his head, releasing a powerful, chilling energy from his antlers, which transformed into an aurora beam that collided with it.
Although the two energies canceled each other out, Xerneas was still shaken by the reaction force and staggered back several steps before he could barely regain his balance.
As expected, Xerneas's power could not be fully unleashed!
Qingyu shook his head, silently took out a Poké Ball from his pocket, and said at the same time, "Xerneas, you can use Earth Control for now. We'll stall for time here."
Upon hearing his words, Xerneas paused for a moment, then nodded decisively.
Okay, then I'll leave it to you.
After saying that, X-Deer immediately squatted down, closed his eyes, and began to feel the power from the earth.
"Hey——!"
As a long-time rival, Yveltal knew he had to interrupt Xerneas when he struck that pose.
Its combat power was only slightly stronger than Xerneas's. If it were given the opportunity to accumulate power and strengthen itself, what would it fight for?
It immediately flapped its wings again, and another crimson beam of light, full of oppressive power, hurtled towards it.
However, this time Xerneas did not react at all, not even opening his eyes, and remained in the same position as before.
Because it trusts the vision of the Creator.
Since it is the messenger it chose, it must have the strength to match its courage!
"Go, Milton!"
"Block the attack with lightning!"
After Qingyu threw out the Poké Ball he had prepared, Milton, who had been slacking off for a while, reluctantly made its grand entrance.
"Kah!"
Although still not very motivated, Milton immediately activated the electricity, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, cutting the beam in half.
"Metamorphoses, beam cannon!"
"Hupa, focus your mind!"
"I'll help too!"
The blue and white beams of light blasted by Metagross, the invisible stream of psychic energy spurred by Hoopa, and the diamond storm conjured by Princess Diancie all struck at the same time, forcing Yveltal to flap her wings and fly away to dodge.
It just woke up and hasn't absorbed much energy yet, so it can't be used up any more.
but----
Normally, shouldn't he have fought Xerneas to the death, and then both of them had fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion?
Does the opposing team have a lot of help this time?
Apart from that little creature that turned into a stone, it didn't recognize a single one of them.
Yveltal narrowed his eyes, revealing a fierce look.
Since you're here, don't blame me for being ruthless!
"Hey——!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Xerneas was unable to protect them, Yveltal quickly gathered his strength and prepared to launch another attack.
However, at this moment—
"Xerneas, open your mouth!"
A human below suddenly smiled and took out a handful of red leaves from his pocket.
Yveltal instinctively shivered.
Why do I feel a chill down my spine?
Could this be some kind of underhanded tactic?
