Chapter 21 Terrible Battle
"Successed"
"You should be switching to a job like a ranger soon, right?"
"If I stopped working as an assistant and fitness instructor, it might be possible."
"Then don't do it."
"Hah"
“???”
Hikari tilted her head because she didn't quite understand the communication between the two, but Kem just shrugged his shoulders.
"Let's go, Giratina will be impatient."
"Yes"
"No need to go any further"
The sudden sound made everyone turn their heads.
Akagi stood there, as if to block the way ahead.
"You came first, didn't you?"
"I came here because I was engulfed in that shadow."
"Yes. So? Are you going to stop us here? ”
"That's right, if the world continues to twist, the world collapses and a new world is born. So I can't let you go anywhere else. ”
"Why do you want to destroy the world? If you hate the world, you can't go to a place where there are no people. ”
"Why should I live like I'm running away from this world?"
Shirona and Akagi clash with each other.
However, they are not attracted to each other. This is because there are some things that none of us can afford to give up.
"I will erase imperfect, obscured things such as the mind and create a perfect world. This is my justice! I won't let anyone get in my way! ”
"Looks like you're very strong-willed. Xiaoguang, I'll hold down Akagi. Let's go to Giratina. “
"Yes!"
“? If you face that Pokémon, it's useless. You can't have any communication with that Pokémon. At least, it's not someone you can communicate with something as vague as your heart. ”
"It's not up to you to decide."
"Legal?"
"Xiaoguang, I believe in you."
"Yes!"
As soon as Hikari answered Sirona's words, he began to run and ran past Akagi.
"You can't stop"
No matter how good a trainer she is, Hikari is still a child. I can't compare to the strength of an adult Akagi. If I wanted to, I could force the light down now.
"What, forcibly suppressing me by force is not in line with my style. Moreover, if I forcibly suppress it, the men around me will definitely suppress me. ”
"Do you have a chance of winning even if it's a battle?"
"I think it's possible, it's up to you to do it. There is no reason why the weak cannot prevail over the strong. It's the same with science, you won't know without trying. ”
"Yes, that's right."
Sirona threw the orb hanging from her waist and sent Lucario out.
"There are some things we can't give up on each other. Then we have no choice but to fight. ”
"I'm not going to lose! Even that shadow Pokémon won't lose! Even this stupid world can't lose! “
Akagi handed over Helga.
Since it is a Pokémon of evil attribute and fire attribute, it is very strong for Lucario of steel attribute. However, since his attribute is an evil attribute, it is indeed weak for Lucario of the combat attribute.
"Kaimu, don't mess with me, this is my fight."
“… Ahh
"Helge! Flamethrower! ”
"Wave Bullet"
Helga's flames collide with Lucario's waves and explode.
"Sword Dance"
Before the smoke cleared, Lucario increased his concentration and attack power with a sword dance.
"Waves of Evil!"
"Take three steps to the left and immediately throw a fist."
After narrowly dodging the wave of evil, Lucario quickly closed the distance between himself and Helga, and punched Helgar's body with a brilliant punch.
However, Helga flew behind him, reduced its power, and quickly counterattacked with a flamethrower.
Lucario left the place as soon as he finished reading it.
"All the best"
It moved so fast that it seemed to disappear from Helgo's sight as soon as it hit the ground.
The essence of Godspeed is not only to reach maximum speed from 0 instantaneously with great agility, but also to enter the enemy's blind spot of consciousness by moving the body in a way that cannot be followed by the line of sight. Sirona's Lucario has done this to the extreme, so skilled that almost no one can react to Lucario's speed.
Attack Helga with divine speed and grab him from behind.
"In Battle"
Lucario's fists hit Helga's body several times.
The evil Helga can't stand the blow of a powerful fighting move.
"It's not easy."
"If you want to destroy this world, I will protect it.
In order to protect the world, Sirona chose to fight with all her might.
The back of that figure is the champion itself.
ーー
"Sure enough, it's a champion, and the skills are good"
Akagi only has manuals. Manula also breathed on his shoulder, and his physical strength was reduced by half.
On the other hand, with the exception of Lucario and Tojekis, Sirona remained in perfect form. No matter how you look at it, there is no doubt about Sirona's statement.
"Are you going to surrender?"
"Jokes"
"yes. Then there is no way. “
With that, Shirona took out Garyas, Shirona's absolute trump card.
Gabrias, Dragon's Claw
"Manura! Frozen Beam! ”
Gabrias uses the dragon's claws to destroy the released frozen beam. However, the ice-type moves work well against the dragon-type Gabrias. Gabrias was hurt a lot, but it didn't stop.
Gabrias' strong claws sliced through Manula. Coupled with the rank gap, Manula has been pushed to the point of death.
"Ice Stone!"
Dragon Wave
Technology collides.
Manula jumped out of the smoke and attacked Gabrias.
"Dying throes!"
Manula's claws slashed at Gabrias I thought, but Gabrias grabbed Manula's arm with his keen dynamic vision and claws, stopping where the claws hit.
"No!"
"It was a good surprise attack.
"Uh, and then the zero-distance frozen beam"
"It's too late, Dragon Dive."
Still holding Manula, Gabrias knocked Manula to the ground with a dragon pounce.
Manullah, who was on the verge of death, was exhausted.
"It's over."
“”
"There's no way you can fight anymore, stop."
"I am a new world, a new galaxy.
"I don't know why you deny your heart. But I want to live in this world. So, stop your ambitions. ”
"That's just your 'convenience'! As long as there is something as fragile, contradictory, ambiguous, and incomplete as the heart! The world is never perfect! What's the inconvenience of erasing something like this? I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to lose. "I will definitely achieve the world I want!"
Akagi shouted, and Manula, who had fallen to the ground, stood up and shot an ice stone at Gabrias. Whether it is the power left behind, or the stupid power of the fire, the power is much higher and sharper than before.
Gabrias, who thought he would never get back again, was slow to react, but managed to dodge a direct hit. However, because it was an immediate dodge, he forgot that Bai Nai was in the line of fire of the ice stone.
Hakuna was also unable to react due to the suddenness, and was ready for the impending shock and pain, ready to receive a direct blow.
But the pain never came. When I opened my eyes, Kem stood in front of me, protecting Shirona from ice shards.
"Abner"
"Kay, Kaim! Protect me"
'If I get injured before the league it will be a problem.
Kem said in his usual tone as he patted the ice off his clothes. But his body was covered in abrasions and bruises, and even a stab wound from a sharp ice blade.
"Sure enough, it hurts."
"What are you doing!"
'I thought I said I'd be in trouble if I got injured before the league.
"But so"
"Stupid, take a step back."
Kem grabbed Manullah's claws and stopped them. Sharp claws sliced through Kem's hand, and blood flowed out.
Manula was surprised to find that he was able to stop his paw with his bare hands, and he temporarily stopped moving. Gabrias took the opportunity to attack from behind, but Manula immediately retreated and landed beside Akagi.
Judging by her injuries, Manula was on the verge of death. However, the reason why he was able to make such a big move may be because he wanted to fulfill Akagi's wish.
"Stop.
"Manuela, that's enough."
Akagi sent Manura back to the ball, then turned to face Shirona and the others.
"I think Shadow Pokémon is the world itself. If you buy that Pokémon's Fury, the world will distort, and this distortion will spread to the real world. That little girl couldn't do that alone. “
"Do you really think so?"
"What?"
"Didn't you find out? The distorted black clouds that pervade this world are no longer there. ”
Akagi looked around. Before the battle began, black clouds containing toxins continued to spit out from everywhere. But it hasn't exploded yet. The cloud itself still exists, but nothing new has been added.
"Idiot! Did you just calm that Pokémon?! ”
"That kid's power is so great, you are too despised."
"Having subdued that Pokémon, we left the world behind. So, even if we make a new red chain, wouldn't that create a new world? ”
Even if Akagi did the same thing again and incurred the wrath of Giratina, if the light could calm her down, Akagi's purpose would not be achieved. It might be possible if I could do something about the light, but if Sirona was there, it might not have happened.
"Give it up. Your ambitions end here. ”
"Why! Why did you leave this world? Is it so important to have something as imperfect and ambiguous as the heart?! ”
Sirona held Kym's bleeding hand.
"Where I was born, the time I've spent since I was born, the language I speak is different for everyone, but I have a Pokémon next to me, someone who is important to me. I'm glad to have someone important to me who can be used to fight and to be exchanged. ”
"Shut !! up"
Akagi was furious.
Of all the Akagi I've seen so far, he's the most emotional. Akagi, who avoids emotions, first shows anger.
"Enough! That's why you say your heart matters?! These are the nonsense of those who think they have lived happily ever after! My hatred and resentment are all in my heart right now. "I just don't think it's perfect! Are you blocking the world I want for convenience! ”
I don't know what happened to Akagi, who denied his heart so much, in the past. But for him, the heart is something that should not exist. I fell into this stereotype.
"Akagi"
Keim, who had been silent, took a step forward. The bleeding had almost stopped, but the wound on the hand was still painful.
"You're a scientist too, aren't you?"
"What happened?"
"I see, it turns out that what you want is a perfect world without a heart."
"That's it"
"You want perfection, don't you?"
"What is it!"
"If you want perfection, perfection, you're not a scientist."
Akagi's eyes widened at hearing Kaim's words.
"What do you say?"
"I'm not a scientist, I'm just an archaeologist. I'm just a chick. But I have an acquaintance who is a good scientist who could die. He said, 'For scientists, perfection equals despair. 'Why?' Do you think so? ”
"Scientists are simply insane. Scientists are perfectionists. ”
"No, he said that scientists are people who pursue development."
"What's the contradiction between that and achieving perfection?"
"Complete, that is, none. In other words, 'it is impossible to develop anymore'. ”
“!”
"Without further development, scientists lose their value in existence. In other words, it's despair. If you want perfection, you're not a scientist. ”
"Shut up! You know what! ”
"Akagi, do you really think you should lose your mind??"
"Yes! The world is ugly and imperfect because there is such a thing as a mind! ”
Hearing this, Bai Nai lowered her eyes sadly.
"Can you say the same to Pokémon that thought of you?"
Sirona noticed.
Akagi denies having a heart, but he's by no means a bad trainer. After the battle, I found out that the Pokémon of Akagi trusted Akagi. And he also wants to fulfill Akagi's wish.
Akagi holds Krobat in his hand. Without the utmost trust in its trainers, Crobat would not have been able to evolve. In other words, Krobat trusted Akagi from the bottom of his heart. This kind of trust is because there is a heart, and without a heart, trust cannot be generated. Moreover, Manula even whipped her dying body to attack Hakuna, all because of Akagi.
Shirona asks Akagi if she is denying Pokémon's trust and affection for her.
“”
"Akagi, as you say, the mind is imperfect and vague. But erase it, and humans and Pokémon lose their 'possibility'. I can aim for that. Even if it's not perfect, I try to make it better. May I? You say these accumulations have no value? You're a scientist.
"That's enough, shut up."
Akagi walked past the two of them.
"I'm tired of adjusting for your convenience. I believe in my righteousness. The world must be perfect. ”
"Nothing in this world has to be the way it is, it's just that our perspective has changed its values. Whether I protect the world, or you try to destroy it, it's just a matter of convenience within us, you know? ”?”
"After all, I can't understand you, and I won't lose. One day, I will definitely unlock the secrets of this world and achieve the perfect world I seek, and this is my justice. ”
With that, Akagi walked somewhere.
In this torn world, physical time does not flow. So, in this world, there is no change in the body except for being disturbed by others. When you're in this world, you don't grow old and don't need food or other life-support activities. No matter how much time passes, he will not die.
Perhaps, this is the world that Akagi is pursuing.
"Because you can feel anger and sadness, you can feel more joy and fun."
"The human mind can easily change for good or for the worse. Akagi could not tolerate such thoughts. ”
"That's right"
"I don't feel sorry for him. He has his own justifications. I chose to stick with it. ”
"I know. By the way, Kem, are your injuries okay? ”
"Ahh
When I opened my right hand, my palm was covered in blood. The wound was deeper than I thought. Although it has stopped, the pain has not lessened.
"It's worse than I thought."
"I'm going to grab the Pokémon's claws with my bare hands. I'm just giving you first aid. Come here. ”
Shirona began to heal Kem's hand with healing tools. Of course, there's a limit to what you can do with the tools you have at hand, so this is an urgent measure to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"The league is approaching.
“… Thank you, I appreciate it.
Sirona said as she took Cam's bandaged hand.
Honestly, I'm glad he protected me and I'm grateful that I was able to avoid injury before the league started. But even so, I don't want to see important people harmed.
"Let's do our best"
"Even if you say that, I'm sure you'll do it."
"If it is an unreasonable and controllable level"
"yes, then I'll try not to let you be vexatious."
"That's not what a normal crazy person would say."
Kem stood up with a wry smile.
"Let's go, Giratina's anger has subsided, and the world should be fine."
"Yes, Hikari did a great job."
"I trust you very much"
"Really? But yes. Maybe so. ”
"For any reason?"
"I'm a girl, but I'm sure the world has been waiting for her. The world has been waiting for her birth. I feel that way. ”
"Yes, maybe so"
You can see the light waving her hand in the distance.
The two of them began to walk towards there.
"Miss Sirona! Miss Sea Dream! “
"Shikari-chan, are you alright?"
"Yes! As long as you work hard, Giratina will understand! ”
"Yes, I'm happy. Thank you. ”
