In the pitch-black Haze, any life form that entered would lose its way, and Gui Ling, though he reacted, was already too late.
Just in case, Gui Ling summoned Yveltal, Darkrai, and Ceruledge. The five of them walked back-to-back in one direction to avoid being ambushed.
“Partner!”
“Who?”
Ceruledge suddenly heard a long-lost childish voice in the smoke, but his instinctive reaction made him swing his blade, yet there was nothing in the direction he struck.
“Such a familiar voice…”
“Partner!”
“?”
Ceruledge heard it clearly this time; it was his childhood partner calling out to him. Ceruledge followed the voice and saw the figure of a Charcadet in the smoke waving at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Darkrai noticed Ceruledge’s abnormality and nudged him.
“Nothing…”
Although he had a myriad of emotions in his heart, Ceruledge knew that what was in the Haze could not be his former partner; it was a trick used by the opponent to confuse him.
“This guy seems to be good at using people or things we’re familiar with to confuse us. Be careful, don’t be fooled!”
Gui Ling and the others nodded. The appearance of that Charcadet figure indicated that the culprit was around them.
“Watch out!”
Zygarde sensed a trace of Dragon-type aura and immediately pushed Darkrai away, then released Dragon Pulse in the direction he felt.
Two dragons formed by purple energy collided, causing a violent explosion. Zygarde did not dare to stop and immediately used Core Enforcer. A green laser that could destroy everything shot towards the Haze, but another Core Enforcer directly blocked the attack.
“He seems to be copying? But it also seems not.”
Yveltal immediately lunged into the Haze, using Death Wing, but the Dragon Ascent coming head-on once again disintegrated the attack.
“Where did this Dragon Ascent come from? Rayquaza him?!”
“Something must have happened, but the priority now is for us to escape!”
With that, Gui Ling fired a shot into the Haze, but the next second, a bullet also flew out from the smoke, which Gui Ling blocked by drawing his tang katana.
“I think I know.”
Gui Ling put away his pistol, drew his tang katana, and slowly walked forward.
“Rather than copying, it’s more like Mimic. And since it can even Mimic firearms, which aren’t skills, this guy should have an ability that can change into anything.”
“Does that mean it’s invincible?”
“Everything has its weakness. We just need to find it while we can hold on.”
“Then do you think… we can still hold on?”
No sooner had Darkrai finished speaking than green, black, and red lights flashed in the Haze. The next second, Death Wing, Dragon Ascent, and Core Enforcer were all released simultaneously, striking Gui Ling and the others.
“Yveltal! Come on! Give it your all!”
The two’s consciousness began to synchronize, and the Key Stone on Gui Ling’s wrist also lit up with colorful light. Yveltal, using the invincibility frame of Mega Evolution, blocked this terrifying blow.
When Yveltal completed its bond evolution, the surrounding Haze was actually affected by the black and red smoke from the humanoid Yveltal, and it began to dissipate.
The next second, Yveltal flashed to the location he sensed, and finally saw the monster’s appearance clearly.
“You truly are a monster!”
Boom!!!
Yveltal fired three Death Wings from the ends of his wings. The combined energy caused a violent explosion, directly hitting the monster.
But when the attack ended, countless steel needles formed from black smoke flew towards Yveltal in the air. Yveltal slowly wrapped purple energy around his hands and used Shadow Claw, tearing the incoming steel needles to shreds.
“Bond Yveltal can learn Ghost-type moves.”
But the attack did not stop. Countless ghost faces formed from black energy flew over like cannonballs again, and Yveltal met them with Hyper Beam.
The two fought fiercely, but Gui Ling knew he could not drag this out any longer. The opponent seemed to have no consumption at all, with attacks coming like a tide, while he and Yveltal were already nearing their limits.
At the same time, the monster in the Haze also felt he had played enough, because he did not feel what he wanted at all during the battle.
“****”
A language never heard before, faintly echoed in the Haze. The next second, the entire forest covered by the Haze began to shake violently, and countless hands formed from black energy reached out towards Yveltal in the sky.
But for some reason, Gui Ling could understand what the language was saying.
“Night Abyss? Yveltal! End Time!”
Gui Ling immediately inserted the Z-Crystal into his Z-Ring, intending to use his last trump card just before the bond evolution disappeared.
The monster in the Haze also sensed something was wrong and likewise used his most powerful move.
When the natural energy of the Z-Crystal was injected into Yveltal’s body, countless red eyes split open in the Haze, along with ghost hands, trying to stop Yveltal.
Boom!!!
…………
With a violent explosion, the surrounding black energy actually began to petrify, turning into stone statues along with the eerie eyes and ghost hands.
Yveltal returned to his original form and voluntarily went into his Poké Ball. Gui Ling also reached his limit and fainted.
“Good opportunity! Ceruledge, go check on Gui Ling!”
Darkrai saw the surrounding black energy slowly petrifying and immediately flew up into the sky. Only now did he see the setting sun, and he finally managed to orient himself.
“Huh? Is that… Rayquaza?!”
Darkrai was about to fly over, but then he noticed that the Haze, which had turned into stone statues, slowly crumbled into dust, and the surroundings became darker and darker again.
“It’s not over yet? I need to get back quickly!”
…………
“How is he?”
“He just fainted. He should be fine after some rest.”
“Where’s Rayquaza’s Poké Ball? He seems to be severely injured and fainted too. I’ll go find him.”
“Can you go alone?”
“That guy won’t die, but he’ll be crippled. He should at least rest for a while.”
After speaking, Darkrai took Rayquaza’s Poké Ball from Gui Ling’s belt and flew in the direction he had just seen.
At the same time, a single red vertical eye slowly opened in the Haze.
Yes, no body, just an eye.
The previous attack did not cause any damage to this monster, but it also made the monster completely give up on Gui Ling and the others.
“They… have no fear. They… are not suitable as prey.”
Then the eye looked towards an abandoned wooden cabin. In the eye’s vision, it seemed to be able to see through everything, and the young people in the cabin simultaneously shivered.
“It’s fine, thankfully, there are other prey.”
