BOOM!
Under the psychic power covering Deoxys Attack Forme, Dialga, Palkia, and Necrozma were blasted away.
The space-time that had only just stabilized in the Pokémon world became chaotic again. Then, with the explosion of Deoxys' mental power, the suppression built up over many days rebounded to the extreme.
Through the sleeping Arceus clone brought by Matori, it instantly swept across the entire world.
The Pokémon world and the Rainbow Rocket world began merging and spiraling out of control because of the distorted space-time.
Disasters beyond description erupted everywhere.
The earth collapsed, the oceans flipped into the sky, storms and thunder appeared across every region.
At this rate, both worlds would be destroyed together in less than five minutes.
"System! System!", Axel shouted frantically, but no matter how urgently he called, the system gave no response.
"Damn it! Breaking down at a time like this," Axel ignored Giovanni and Beedrill and instantly appeared above Rayquaza's head.
"System, crash through it!"
The two worlds had almost fused together already. Even without Gyarados and Palkia's power, Rayquaza in its current state was enough to break open the barrier between worlds.
At the same time, Axel pulled out every recovery item from his backpack and locked his eyes onto the Dialga from the Pokémon world.
As long as it recovered, there was still a chance.
"Hahaha! Too late, Axel!", At some point, Giovanni had appeared in the space-time turbulence while standing on Beedrill, blocking Axel's path.
"Fack you, you're nowhere near as good as the Giovanni from our world!", Axel cursed. His psychic power fully covered Rayquaza while the Red Chain appeared in his hand.
"Rayquaza, let's kill them together, then save the Pokémon world!"
Giovanni sneered, "Too late. Beedrill isn't as weak as you think."
Axel was about to reply when a distant voice carrying a trace of reluctance suddenly appeared in his mind.
["Master... Giovanni is right. It's too late."]
["But... after reincarnating so many times, we finally managed to kill him this time."]
"What reincarnation?", Axel froze. But in the next moment, when he met Gardevoir's eyes, his mind suddenly spun as countless memories that had never existed before flooded in.
Arceus appeared before him wrapped in light and touched his forehead with its glow, ["Child, because I used too much power to create the world, I fell into slumber. Now a multiverse has encountered a problem..."]
Later, Axel met Gardevoir. With Arceus' blessing, the two of them quickly became the strongest in the world.
But they underestimated the power of Rainbow Rocket. Before Necrozma holding all eighteen Plates, they had no way to fight back.
The scene changed. In a primitive universe filled with starlight and dust, Axel stood proudly in the void. Beside him, a shiny Gardevoir glowing with pale moonlight looked at him gently.
Another shift. Countless eras passed, civilizations rose and fell. Gardevoir stood alone beside a gravestone formed from stars, rejecting the erosion of time, only to gather enough strength for rebirth.
Countless eras flashed through Axel's mind. Almost every time, either he or Gardevoir died in battle.
The two of them kept reincarnating and waiting for each other through endless ages.
("Master, this fried skewer tastes awful. Gardevoir doesn't like human food. You eat it yourself.")
("Master, you came to pick me up? Let's go try fried skewers, okay?")
("Master, Gardevoir likes fried skewers the most. The ones you make yourself!")
("Master... Master...")
Suddenly, Rayquaza's furious roar snapped Axel out of the memories. Axel jumped off Rayquaza and used the highest level of force technique to smash through the space-time turbulence in one move, appearing in the Pokémon world.
Looking at Axel rushing toward her anxiously, Gardevoir grinned.
["Master... can we stop reincarnating in this life?"]
["Your lovers from your past lives, Iono, Cynthia, Elesa... they finally all gathered together this time. Don't let it be ruined because of me alone..."]
"NO!", Axel cut her off forcefully and charged toward the place where Necrozma had been knocked away by Deoxys.
He knew what Gardevoir wanted to do and wanted to stop her first.
But... he was already too late.
Axel was separated by an entire world, while Gardevoir only needed one step.
She stepped forward lightly and stood at the center of the distorted space-time. Her psychic power erupted, forcefully restraining the space-time of both worlds.
Under Gardevoir's guidance, countless people fleeing in panic unconsciously released psychic power. The Synchronize power on Gardevoir's body spread through every person and influenced the environments of both worlds.
As for Gardevoir herself, she gradually became transparent, like a fairy butterfly slowly covering the sky.
["Master, I won't die this time,"] Gardevoir deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, ["Look, the power I preserved this time is in such good condition. I can completely become this world's will."]
["That's much better than staying inside a Poké Ball. I can watch you every day."]
"Become the world's will? Keep dreaming!", Matori stood beside Arceus and laughed wildly. She was about to collect this world's origin. After that, what need would there be for any will?
Bang!
Axel answered her with an angry punch.
Ignoring Matori as she exploded into a cloud of blood, Axel's mind raced, trying to think of every possible way to stop Gardevoir from becoming the world's will.
"I'll do it!", At that moment, a distant voice sounded. White Gardevoir stepped out from an Ultra Wormhole and entered Gardevoir's side without any obstruction.
The speed at which Gardevoir was disappearing suddenly slowed.
Axel finally relaxed a little. Then inspiration flashed through his mind and he suddenly remembered the little shark in the other world chewing on Plates.
"Gardevoir, stop rejecting me. Together, we can hold on."
"It won't work, Master...", Gardevoir's voice stayed calm, "I've already gone through this situation once."
"If you come in, what about the three escaped Deoxys?"
"And Rayquaza is tired too. Giovanni's Beedrill is very agile. Defense is much harder than attacking. The legendary Pokémon in the other world can't lose even one of them."
"I have a way!", Axel grabbed the ring off Arceus and had Palkia deliver it to the little shark's mouth.
In the next moment, the little shark's belly swelled and it sprang to its feet with a whoosh.
A terrifying level breakthrough aura burst from its body and nearly lit up the entire Mount Coronet.
["A level 999 Garchomp. Can it handle three Deoxys?"]
Gardevoir froze for a moment, then delight appeared on her face.
She truly hadn't expected that the little shark Axel casually picked up would possess the ability to change the entire battle at a critical moment.
"Come!"
After Axel and the two Gardevoir stood together, the destruction of the world suddenly began to fade away. Giovanni glared furiously and tried to rush over with Beedrill.
But under Rayquaza and the legendary Pokémon's interception, Beedrill was completely suppressed and couldn't break into the Pokémon world at all.
"Deoxys, kill them for me!"
What answered him was the little shark's furious roar.
Terrifying Dragon-type energy surged out. The three Deoxys didn't even dare look back.
As the two worlds merged, Gardevoir's aura became stronger and stronger.
The place where she stood now was the intersection point between the two worlds. The huge amount of world origin that Giovanni had concentrated into Necrozma and Beedrill scattered after they were injured, appearing on Gardevoir through the two worlds.
A trace of divinity gradually appeared on Gardevoir's body, and that divinity became denser and denser.
["Giovanni, do you know why you could never accomplish what you wanted?"]
The deepest doubt in Giovanni's heart was suddenly brought up, and he subconsciously replied, "Why?"
["Because... you don't have a heart!"]
Along with Gardevoir's words, vast psychic power exploded from Giovanni's chest and tore him apart completely.
In the next moment, Gardevoir's body had already turned golden, holy, impossible to look at directly.
With a single thought, both the Pokémon world and the Rainbow Rocket world returned to normal.
With another thought, whether it was the Champions exiled to the Orre region or the people who had just died, all of them reappeared.
The current Gardevoir could turn anything she imagined into reality.
The people of both worlds looked at the light radiating from Gardevoir like they were looking at a creator god.
A vast voice carrying divinity suddenly appeared.
["Axel, you finally succeeded. I can feel my power recovering already. But your strength now seems about the same as mine. How about taking over my job?"]
Axel's mouth twitched and he raised his middle finger toward the sky.
"Get lost. You made me and Gardevoir suffer through all that, and now you still want me to work?"
Arceus smiled lightly, ["It's not like I didn't accompany you through those countless reincarnations. Back in ancient times I even wanted to help you beat up my clone. I just didn't have enough strength in my heart and body..."]
["Uh... I'm going back to sleep for a while!"]
Looking at the Champions who had returned and the world restored to peace, Axel finally relaxed.
"Come on, let's go to Jubilife City. Bring my parents too. I'll treat everyone to fried skewers at Dragon Lake Hotel."
Gardevoir poked Axel's arm, ["You're always so careless. Aren't you bringing my little sisters too?"]
["Careful, or we'll all gang up on you together!"]
(The End)
