The moment Magnezone crashed to the ground, having been knocked out of the air, Nidoking, already lying in wait, launched into action.
BOOM!
Without hesitation, Nidoking unleashed [Earthquake].
Magnezone, stripped of its ability to hover, desperately wanted to dodge—but it clearly wasn’t blessed with the long, powerful legs of its ancient cousin, Iron Treads.
The shockwave hit squarely, the impact so intense it looked like Magnezone might ...

“Ninetales is unable to battle. Machamp wins!”
Gary’s face fell as he stared at his fallen Ninetales, who had just been knocked out by a single [Cross Chop] from Machamp.
Is [Guts]-boosted Machamp really this terrifying...?
He wanted nothing more than to slap himself. Why did I have to get greedy with [Flare Blitz] back then? Wouldn’t

With two straight victories under his belt, Gary was riding high—but he wasn’t letting it go to his head.
Not because he’d suddenly become humble, but mainly because… August was watching from the sidelines!
Arcanine paced across the battlefield. Though clearly exhausted, its presence was still imposing enough that Akira, having seen what it had just done to his Onix with [Reversal], wasn’t about to let his guard down.
Four Pokémon remained on his ...

Whoosh!
Flames surged from Arcanine’s jaws, forming a towering wall of fire that engulfed Onix.
Under the searing heat, the rocky plates that made up Onix’s body began to radiate intense heat.
But Onix, obeying its trainer’s command, ignored the damage from the [Fire Spin] and launched [Earthquake] without hesitation.
The arena trembled violently. Centered around Onix, the ground cracked apart in jagged lines that snaked...

Of the five Pokémon in front of it, Eternatus recognized three.
And among those three, only Rayquaza held any real enmity toward it.
As an extraterrestrial being, when Eternatus first arrived on this planet, it naturally had to pass through the ozone layer—and it was met with an enthusiastic welcome from Rayquaza.
That encounter had left quite a grudge between the two.
So seeing Rayquaza here, Eternatus could accept.
But what about the other four?

Light.
Luo Yuan had no idea Hop had mistaken him for a fearless hero throwing himself into danger.
By now, he had reached the top of the tower.
Eternatus’s massive body hovered above, eclipsing nearly the entire sky.
A torrent of Galar particles spiraled toward it like a vortex, drawn in as if Eternatus was using [Giga Drain], and absorbed into its glowing core.
Even just standing there, Luo Yuan could feel Eternatus’s aura intensifying—rapidl...

But clearly, when the energy plant was built, Rose had never intended for Eternatus to leave—naturally, there was no exit designed for it.
So, unable to find a way out, Eternatus chose the most direct solution: brute force.

A blazing crimson light surged from the energy core at the center of Eternatus’s skeletal frame.
Terrifying energy pulsed upward along its spine, gathering in its throat—

Facing the strange looks from his subordinates, Rose let out a cold snort.
He turned to Luo Yuan. “Is this the only kind of trick Team Rocket knows?”
With his personality, he would never stoop to explaining himself to underlings.
In his mind, once he fully subdued Eternatus and used it to solve Galar’s long-term energy crisis, people would understand. They had to.
But what Rose didn’t realize… was that this exact attitude was what Luo Yuan had been w...

Although Rose could sense things were beginning to spiral beyond his control, he had no intention of backing down.
On one hand, the intruders outside were pressing in fast.
On the other, in Rose’s eyes, this “minor mishap” wasn’t anything unmanageable. As long as he could subdue Eternatus, then everything else would fall into place.
“Wake it up,” he ordered his subordinates.
The staff member cast a glance at Eternatus, whose oppressive aura was intensifying...

Ugh… this feels like I drank something way too strong.
After yesterday’s long, intoxicating overwatered state at the aquarium, it felt like every last bit of inspiration had been wrung out of Kyo’s brain all at once. The result? A heavy, sluggish mind, tinged with a dull ache.
So this is what a hangover feels like.

Even with the band-aid on, the lingering sense of suffocation had only faded slightly. If things continued like this, Kyo would inevitably keep getting drawn toward the water, unable to stop her attention from drifting.
But that wasn’t a problem.

Kikukawa Kyo and Takamatsu Tomori walked side by side along the massive aquarium wall that stretched across the entire exhibition hall, following its path as if tracing the course of a river.
Kyo walked closest to the glass, tilting her head as she moved, observing every shift in the water’s current, listening to the ebb and flow of the waves. Under the deep, sapphire glow, her figure seemed to blur, her edges dissolving into the water’s reflection—like she could fade away at any ...

Kikukawa Kyo felt terrifyingly powerful at this moment.
Her thoughts were flowing effortlessly—sharp, quick, and seamlessly translating into action without a single hitch. If she had to describe it, it was like entering a state of flow.

Something’s… off about Kyo today.
At this moment, Kikukawa Kyo and Takamatsu Tomori were in an oddly intimate position—almost as if they were embracing. But if it were a real hug, Tomori might have felt a little more at ease. Instead, Kyo kept just enough distance between them so that they remained within each other’s line of sight.
As a result, Tomori found herself desperately avoiding Kyo’s gaze. Not only did she turn her head away, but she even shut her eyes tightly, ...

Kumoko gnawed absentmindedly on a freshly roasted earth dragon steak. Not far from her, Zhongli sat quietly atop a stone throne.

“Greetings.”
Zhongli gave the old man before him a slight nod.
There was no arrogance in the gesture, nor did he appear devoid of human emotion.
He looked at Dustin the Sixty-First, who was half-kneeling on the ground, just as an ordinary human might. Taking two steps forward, he extended his hand.
The gesture caught Dustin clearly off guard.

He had just finished a light lunch and was tasting a small dessert.

Hearing Elias’s promise, Mewtwo finally let out a breath of relief.
She suddenly realized—this human in front of her… didn’t look so bad after all.
But once she’d calmed down, one thing continued to nag at her.
If she’d been created using this human’s psychic power… then what exactly was their relationship?

“Are you hurting?”
He stepped forward and gently supported her, asking the question even though he already knew the answer.
With an incomplete genetic profile and scrambled sequencing, it would’ve been a miracle if she wasn’t in agony.
That she was even still alive was testament to her immense natural power—any other Pokémon would’ve been dead from this level of torment long ago.

The island where Mewtwo had been created wasn’t all that large—smaller, even, than the one where Latios usually lived in the Hoenn region.
But what it lacked in size, it made up for in secrecy. Not only was it far removed from the mainland, but a thick sea fog shrouded the area year-round. No wonder the League hadn’t caught wind of anything all these years.

Among them, aside from Gary’s victory over Ash, Gold had also been eliminated in the Top 16. Only Silver, whose strength surpassed Gold’s, successfully advanced.
