Just a moment ago, Zekrom and Reshiram were still thinking beautifully, believing these people were their followers.
They never would have imagined that it was actually a bunch of traitors.
["Do you even know what you're saying?"], Reshiram's eyes flickered with heart-shaking azure flames, his tone filled with anger.
The adopted daughter did not back down at all, "Of course I do. I'm saying we're capturing you."
"Two ruined watchdogs who fled Unova in disgrace, leaving behind only broken shells, and you still dare to bark here?"
As someone under Pryce, she was naturally not very afraid of gods.
Even gods as powerful as Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Kyurem had to bow their heads before her foster father. Why would she fear two dragon gods who had yet to fully revive?
"Someone, seize these two!"
"Huh?", The instant the adopted daughter gave this order, the people behind her were all dumbfounded.
Capture Zekrom and Reshiram?
Us?
The members of Team Plasma all began trembling, not daring to step forward.
As people of Unova, they had almost all grown up listening to the legends of Zekrom and Reshiram.
When asked as children what they wanted to be when they grew up, most said they wanted to become subordinates of Zekrom or Reshiram.
Even when traveling or throwing Poké Balls to catch Pokémon, they would secretly mutter in their hearts, "Zekrom bless me," or "Reshiram bless me."
In this situation, who would dare lay a hand on the two of them?
"A bunch of trash..."
Seeing no one move, the adopted daughter cursed under her breath and quickly retreated, giving the battlefield over to her Delibird.
"Blizzard!"
Delibird swung its red arms and flew into the air. Extreme cold suddenly erupted, and massive temperature differences instantly formed raging winds.
Clouds gathered thickly in the sky, and goose-feather snow poured down from above. The ground where Delibird had been moments earlier froze solid, trees were coated in ice crystals, and almost instantly the area turned into a frozen kingdom.
Biting cold gathered within the blizzard. The moment it drifted toward Zekrom and Reshiram, fine ice crystals already formed on the bodies of the two dragon gods.
One strike, affecting a god.
"Did you see that? This is the power my foster father granted me!", The adopted daughter's face twisted, her eyes filled with fanaticism.
"Even if Lorelei were here, she might not be stronger than I am right now."
"Once I capture you, my status will be higher than that of the Elite Four."
"I will follow by my foster father's side, become the ruler of Unova, become the master of countless Ultra Beasts!"
Faced with the nearly deranged adopted daughter, Reshiram merely curled his lips. If this girl had come two days earlier, they might actually have had to avoid her a bit.
But now?
["Black Dragon, what nonsense is she talking about?"]
["No idea, White Dragon. Something about foster father and foster daughter. Maybe she wants you to be her foster father?
A chill ran down Reshiram's spine, ["I'm not being her foster father. Someone that messed up in the head, I wouldn't even want her brushing my feathers."]
The adopted daughter was so furious her face turned livid, waiting only to humiliate Reshiram and Zekrom once they were taken down.
Suddenly, she saw a layer of azure spread over Reshiram's body. The ice and snow in the forest instantly melted, and even the clouds in the sky were evaporated and driven away by the terrifying heat released from those azure flames.
Reshiram's exclusive move, the azure flames whose power even surpassed white flames.
Under this terrifying heat, the adopted daughter felt as if she had fallen into the center of a volcano. Even breathing became a luxury.
The Delibird in front of her was able to hold on, but terror also flashed in its eyes, unable to believe that the opponent it faced was actually this powerful.
Behind them, the members of Team Plasma were almost scared out of their minds, one by one.
No one knew how long passed before a devout believer was the first to snap back to his senses. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, shouting the name of the god.
The azure flames seemed to gain consciousness, wrapping around his body.
With the first person, the rest followed suit.
"Great God, I'm also your follower! My mother goes to Dragonspiral Tower every year to pay respects to your existence!"
["Very good,"] Reshiram nodded slightly and controlled the flames to spare him.
"Lord Zekrom, my childhood dream was to become your attendant. Look, all my Pokémon are Electric-type!"
Reshiram shot Zekrom a disgusted look, but still spared that person.
A few minutes later, everyone was shouting the names of Zekrom and Reshiram, kneeling on the ground together, afraid the twin dragons would not accept their submission.
Under the continuous shouting, Pryce's adopted daughter was completely stunned.
She could not understand why Reshiram and Zekrom had awakened ahead of time.
Nor could she understand why the large number of Team Plasma members she brought had no will to resist at all.
Taking advantage of the moment when Zekrom and Reshiram were in the process of absorbing one third of Team Plasma's members, Pryce's adopted daughter hurriedly took out her communicator, opened her pinned contact, and sent a voice message.
"Foster Father, save me!"
———
"I'm telling you, weren't we tricked?"
In some mining area, Axel sat atop Glastrier, dark circles under both eyes.
After getting news of Gladion last night, he immediately rushed to that mining area, but didn't see a single person there.
Later, acting out of responsibility, Axel decided to check a few more mining sites.
But once he started, he went from night all the way to morning, traversing two and a half of Alola's four islands.
If he kept going like this, he wouldn't just walk all over Alola.
Gardevoir was also somewhat helpless. From Sun's call, she could tell Sun wasn't lying, but she had no way to determine whether Sun's friend had told the truth.
Just as Gardevoir was about to persuade Axel to head back and get some sleep first, a communicator notification chime suddenly rang out from a distant hillside.
Gardevoir immediately blinked and listened carefully to the sound coming from the communicator.
'Hm?'
Who was it that was calling for help from her foster father?
