Seeing Giratina run away, everyone on the ground couldn't help but cheer aloud.
That blogger who had just mocked Giratina for not even being able to beat a Gardevoir skillfully pulled out his phone and called Lance.
"Brother Lance! I just happened to run into Lord Axel in the Sinnoh Battle Zone, so I helped him roast Giratina hard!"
Lance: ["Really?"]
The Aurient troll blogger, "Really, man! I even posted the video."
———
Far away in the Aurient region, Lance, who was cooking for the little girl's parents, looked dumbfounded. But after seeing the video, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Big brother, sister-in-law! Lord Axel's done it again, he's saved the world," Saying that, he hurriedly wiped his hands and ran out.
"I'm going to tell Apollo and Ariana the good news, and then we're having extra dishes tonight, yeah!"
———
That reporter uncle who had just lamented that Ryujiro wasn't strong enough also reacted quickly. He logged into his account and began writing an article.
A two-tailed Ambipom appeared beside him, typing away at lightning speed.
Ten-odd minutes later, a ten-thousand-word report had already appeared on his social feed.
The other media workers present were not to be outdone, everyone wanted to seize this opportunity.
Without exception, their posts quickly shot to the top of the trending list.
[Hero Axel, After Defeating the Twin Dragons of Time and Space, Saves the World Again!]
[The Legendary Dragon of Reversal Appears, but You'll Never Guess the Secret Behind This Red Gyarados]
[After Moving in With My Sister in the Frontier Zone, I Experienced a Space Freeze!]
———
[Berlitz Family]
Platinum, who had just completed her coming-of-age ceremony and received her family's authorization, curved her lips slightly.
"Butler uncle, aside from that social platform bought by the Gardevoir family, please buy up all the other platforms and make sure they all spread the great event happening in our Sinnoh region."
Using the power of the internet, combined with the deliberate promotion by the two great families, the news spread throughout Sinnoh in less than half an hour.

[Lily of the Valley Island]
The sacred flame was lit. Aaron and Lucian both let out long breaths of relief.
Things had progressed this far, their mission was already halfway done.
Lucian pushed up his glasses and took out a book about psychic power to read.
Aaron, meanwhile, habitually took out his phone and began watching videos from a cute bug Pokémon blogger.
Wurmple… Spinarak… Shuckle… Wurmple…
Just as Aaron was drooling over the videos, a full-screen ad suddenly popped up.
"Hmm?", Aaron frowned, starting to consider whether he should secretly slip his Dustox into the bed of the short-video platform's CEO.
Then he suddenly saw Cynthia and Axel on the ad, and his eyes lit up instantly. He clicked it open.
"Lucian, come look quick, Axel's too amazing!"
Seeing the video, Lucian closed his book and covered his forehead in exasperation.
As the most learned among the Sinnoh Elite Four, he saw much farther than Aaron.
"Looks like Giratina took quite a beating… Release all the Pokémon. I have a feeling a big battle's coming."
"Inform the chairman, activate maximum-level defense."
"Let's hope we can hold out until Axel and the others arrive…"
———
[Top of Mt. Coronet]
All eight Gym Leaders and Flint gathered together. Suddenly, Flint's phone rang.
"Brothers, Lily of the Valley Island might be in trouble!"
At once, nearly all of Sinnoh's top combat power turned their attention toward the Lily of the Valley Conference.
———
[Inside a certain Alliance residential house]
A strange laugh echoed.
Anyone who had lived through that past calamity would recognize the scene: Cyrus, long missing, was beaten half to death, thrown to the ground like a dead dog.
Beside him, Pryce had completely torn off his disguise, his face expressionless as he looked down at his phone.
"Giratina appeared… and was repelled again?"
"In just a few months, that brat Axel has grown to this level already."
"Still, it's fine. My identity may have been exposed because of that useless Cyrus, but I've successfully learned the secret of Dialga."
"Whether I can go back to the past and save it or not, this is an opportunity I can't ignore!"
"You… you're delusional," Cyrus forced his eyes open, glaring at Pryce through gritted teeth.
This guy clearly knew there had been a misunderstanding between them, but he didn't treat him like a human at all.
Ever since meeting him in the space rift that day, Cyrus had been constantly beaten by Pryce, always kept in this injured state.
Every time he recovered slightly, that deranged little Piloswine would attack again, leaving him no chance to escape.
In such conditions, how could Cyrus willingly reveal Dialga's secret?
Pryce tapped the armrest of his wheelchair lightly, lifting his drooping eyelids.
"Now Axel and most of the League's high command have gone to Lily of the Valley Island. Neither Palkia nor Dialga is guarded."
"If you can remember the method to control the Twin Dragons, you state the plan, I'll act."
"Once I go back to the past, both dragons will belong to you."
'Mine?'
Hearing that, Cyrus's eyes suddenly lit up.
'That's right!'
'Even if my own strength isn't enough, isn't Pryce right beside me?'
Besides, except for Dialga itself, almost no one knew that when Dialga travels through time, it doesn't affect the current timeline.
Once the Twin Dragons were under his control, when Pryce returned, he could take revenge for these days of abuse.
Thinking of this, Cyrus couldn't help but grin.
"I'll tell you how to control the Red Chain right now!"
———
A few minutes later, fully prepared, Pryce appeared with Cyrus in the League's high-level villa district.
"So this is Cynthia's residence?", Pryce said, pushing the now-recovered Cyrus forward. His eyes gleamed sharply.
For the first time, he was this close to the God of Time.
Just getting close would let him fulfill his long-cherished wish, to save the Pokémon he lost in his childhood.
"Piloswine, Delibird, let's move!"
