"Shadow Sneak!"
Darkrai once again used Shadow Sneak, aiming directly at Indeedee!
Although the base power of Shadow Sneak was not particularly high, a Champion-level Darkrai dealing with a mere Lord-level Indeedee was more than sufficient. The elongated shadow attacked Indeedee like a vengeful ghost.
"Gardevoir, use Teleport!"
Just at that critical moment, Raya's commanding voice rang out. Mega Gardevoir's elegant figure flickered instantly, and in the blink of an eye, it had Teleported next to Indeedee, blocking the Shadow Sneak intended for Indeedee.
Raya knew that although Indeedee was the weakest in terms of raw strength at this moment, it played the most crucial role in this entire battle.
Indeedee absolutely could not fall!
Seeing its certain-kill attack miss its intended target, Darkrai's expression became unusually furious.
And just at that moment, a pitch-black figure flashed across the sky, flying straight towards the broken Prison Bottle!
Darkrai!
Another Darkrai!
"Florges, use Moonblast!"
In a moment of urgency, Raya's voice rang out sharply. Florges unleashed a full-power Moonblast, flying towards the newly arrived Darkrai.
"Boom!"
The full-power Moonblast from the Quasi-Champion strength Florges directly sent the second Darkrai flying violently, severely injuring it and causing it to fall to the ground, revealing its true form at the same time.
Zoroark!
Severely injured, Zoroark rolled several times after landing hard, but its speed did not stop in the slightest, continuing to pounce desperately towards the broken Prison Bottle.
"You're asking for death!"
Jacob, watching this scene unfold, had his eyes turn red with fury. This broken Prison Bottle was his treasure. Which damn Pokémon dared to snatch his belongings with such audacity?
Jacob did not hesitate, directly releasing his Alakazam.
Although the Heavenly King strength Alakazam could not effectively intervene in the battle with Darkrai, dealing with Zoroark was quite easy.
"Alakazam, Des... Close Combat!"
Just as Alakazam's attack was about to land on Zoroark, a burst of Dark-type energy erupted from a distance, blocking the fatal attack for Zoroark.
Dante and his Tyranitar!
"Come back, Zoroark."
Dante's gaze coldly fixed on Jacob and Alakazam, then he said coldly, "Earthquake, Tyranitar!"
Since the plan to secretly seize the Prison Bottle had failed, Dante did not waste words with everyone and directly commanded Tyranitar to use the area-of-effect skill Earthquake.
Ground-type energy surged from Tyranitar's massive body, and the ground beneath its feet began to shake violently, forming bottomless cracks that spread in all directions.
Ground-type energy also erupted powerfully from the spreading cracks!
"Alakazam, use Wide Guard!" Jacob's voice rang out urgently.
He unhesitatingly chose to have Alakazam use the Wide Guard skill. However, for a Heavenly King-level Alakazam to completely block Tyranitar's Earthquake skill and protect all Pokémon with Wide Guard was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
"Boom!"
The protective light shield shattered. Although Wide Guard blocked most of Earthquake's devastating power, the remaining power still caused damage to the Pokémon present, and the aftershock of the Earthquake skill directly knocked down Indeedee!
Indeedee was still unable to participate in this level of intense battle. It was four major levels below the Champion-level Tyranitar. Even being hit by the aftershock of the skill would instantly cause it to lose its combat ability.
"Dante?!"
Raya's beautiful face was ashen with shock. She hadn't expected Dante to appear here, and even more unexpectedly, Dante's Tyranitar had already broken through to Champion-level!
A Champion-level Tyranitar disrupting the situation made the originally clear situation become confusing.
"Jacob, help me hold off Dante." Raya turned to Jacob and said, with a hint of pleading in her tone.
"Alright." As the saying goes, enemies meet with burning eyes. Jacob looked at Dante, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and agreed without hesitation.
Dante seemed to sense Jacob's intense gaze, turned to look at Jacob, and said in a hoarse voice, "Long time no see, National Champion."
"I advise you to stay aside and watch the show. With this Alakazam's amateur skills, it's not qualified to stop me. If you really want it to die in vain, then come and try."
"Tyranitar, clear the field—use Earthquake!"
Dante's voice rang out, and Ground-type energy surged from Tyranitar's body again!
The first time injured Alakazam, the second time should clear the entire field!
"Come back, Indeedee!" Jacob recalled Indeedee while also ordering Alakazam, "Alakazam, use Destiny Bond on Tyranitar!"
Jacob took out a Poké Ball and recalled the incapacitated Indeedee. At the same time, Ghost-type energy surged from Alakazam's body, flying towards Tyranitar at an extremely fast speed, and in a blink of an eye, it linked itself with Tyranitar!
"Boom!"
The Earthquake skill, as expected, knocked down Alakazam. At the same time, the Destiny Bond skill activated, and endless Ghost-type energy coiled around Tyranitar's body, constantly draining Tyranitar's stamina and causing high damage to Tyranitar!
Destiny Bond, eternally divine!
"Gardevoir, use Hyper Voice!"
"Florges, use Moonblast!"
Raya also ordered Mega Gardevoir to continue using Hyper Voice to counterattack Tyranitar and Darkrai.
At the same time, Darkrai, no longer restricted by Indeedee, was completely unrestrained like a fish leaping into the sky. It unhesitatingly chose to endure Gardevoir's Hyper Voice attack and flew towards Jacob's direction.
Among all the Pokémon and humans present, it most disliked Indeedee and Jacob, who carried the aura of Cresselia.
Now Indeedee had lost its combat ability, leaving only Jacob, who had no Pokémon to protect him.
Looking at the defenseless Jacob, Darkrai naturally wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if it meant getting injured, it had to deal with Jacob first.
"Shadow Sneak!"
Darkrai's shadow began to lengthen unnaturally, flying towards Jacob like a giant serpent in the night!
At the critical moment, Jacob no longer hesitated and shouted loudly, "Iron Valiant, help me—use Quick Guard!"
"Boom!"
The Poké Ball on Jacob's waist popped open, and Fighting-type energy surged out, blocking Darkrai's sure-kill Shadow Sneak.
Iron Valiant held its twin-bladed sword horizontally in front of it with one hand, blocking Darkrai's attack, its eyes filled with coldness as it looked at Darkrai.
The moment Iron Valiant appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Raya was already mentally prepared. She had learned from Priest-12 that Jacob had an extremely powerful Champion-level Pokémon that had defeated Priest-12's Articuno by fighting multiple opponents.
The appearance of Iron Valiant was exactly as Priest-12 described, resembling a combination of Gardevoir and Gallade, with a twin-bladed sword in its hand and a mechanized body.
Undoubtedly, this Pokémon named Iron Valiant was Jacob's ace Pokémon!
