Chapter 24: The Pokémon League Meeting
Chen Nian’s mind raced at lightning speed.
Under normal circumstances, with Necrozma now evolved into its Ultra form, defeating Rayquaza and the others shouldn’t have been difficult. Even against three powerful Legendaries, given enough time, he could have found a way to take them down.
But time was the one thing he didn’t have.
His mental energy was nearly depleted—maintaining the psychic link was draining his powers too fast.
He needed to end this battle quickly.
……
As Chen Nian desperately searched for a solution, the tremors from the three Legendaries’ clash rippled across the world.
Countless satellites turned their lenses toward the battlefield, broadcasting the apocalyptic battle to every corner of the globe.
……
The world trembled in response.
Hidden forces lurking in the shadows watched the devastating power of these Legendaries, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Even the high-ranking officials of the Pokémon League found themselves unable to stay seated.
……
At the very top of a towering spiral-shaped building, inside an opulent conference room, five imposing trainers in black suits sat around a circular table.
Before them, a massive electronic screen displayed the ongoing battle in the Kunlun Mountains.
……
A white-bearded elder spoke in a grave voice.
“Have we confirmed the situation?”
“What exactly is happening?”
“Why did such a catastrophic Pokémon outbreak suddenly occur in the Kunlun Mountains?”
“Has the League’s elite investigation team been dispatched?”
A scarred man on his forehead responded immediately.
“All available elite investigators near the Kunlun region have been deployed, but so far, none have reported back with useful intel.”
“Many of our trainers have rushed to the scene, but the battle is too destructive. According to reports, countless casualties have resulted from stray attacks. I’ve already ordered the evacuation of civilians in the surrounding areas… Hopefully, these three—no, four—creatures will stop fighting before the disaster escalates further…”
The white-bearded elder slammed the table in fury.
“Are people still not grasping the severity of this situation?!”
“Who in their right mind would enter the Kunlun Mountains now?!”
“Are there any League personnel inside? Pull them all out immediately—no one except the investigation team is permitted near that zone!”
……
After the elder’s outburst, a sharp-eyed woman in a sleek business suit and gold-rimmed glasses spoke up.
“The priority is evacuating the surrounding regions. Before this meeting, I coordinated with local branches, Gyms, and authorities to expedite civilian relocation. Progress should already be underway.”
“Now, we must identify these four Pokémon. Only by understanding their origins can we determine the cause of this battle—and possibly find a way to calm them.”
……
A chubby, bespectacled man adjusted his glasses and added,
“Actually, the League has records on two of these Pokémon.”
“Kyurem has always resided in the Kunlun restricted zone. Its presence there is precisely why we classified the area as forbidden.”
“As for the dragon that descended from the sky—that’s Rayquaza, which typically dwells in the ozone layer. While our tech can occasionally track it, it has never before descended to the surface.”
“Hours ago, the cosmic observation division warned of a meteor strike likely to hit the Kunlun region.”
“And as we’ve all seen, the moment that meteor landed, this catastrophe began.”
“My theory? That ‘meteor’ is connected to the extraterrestrial-looking creature—Deoxys. Rayquaza likely pursued it to the surface.”
“Their battle unfolded in Kyurem’s territory, and as the sovereign of that land, Kyurem’s actions can be interpreted as territorial defense.”
“But the fourth Pokémon… we have no data on it whatsoever. Its origins remain a complete mystery.”
