Chapter 309 The Fall of Quixote
Upon landing in an unfamiliar place, in a moment of bewilderment, and suddenly attacked, the instinctive reaction is to retaliate. This retaliatory reaction is especially fierce when one is full of energy and has just entered their "strongest state."
Therefore, both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre unleashed their strongest moves: Precipice Blade and Root Pulse.
Under the roar of the original Groudon.
The ground was shoved open layer by layer, revealing majestic, sharp blades of rock that gleamed with a tough light, rising from the earth and slashing straight toward Ghetsis and Kyurem atop the giant's cave!
at the same time.
The original Kyogre's body slowly lit up like a deep-sea lamp, and a vast light gathered from its body, quickly condensing into countless bluish-white and dazzling orbs of light, which suddenly blasted forward.
This primal surge collided with the icy, swirling wind spewed by Kyurem even faster than the prehistoric Groudon's Cliff Sword.
Ze Shu had no idea which of their two moves was stronger.
All that could be seen was the bluish-white light emanating from the source of the wave nearly shattering Kyurem's absolute zero.
When the frost spewed by Kyurem reached Zeshu, it merely brushed against the hem of his clothes without causing any significant disturbance.
Well, that's about it for him.
Meanwhile, Xijiana beside him was so cold that her jaw was chattering, and she looked exactly like an icicle curled up in a cocoon.
When Kyurem's absolute zero collided with the Root Wave, it didn't cause much damage to Ze Shu. The Root Wave, after dispersing the absolute zero, only hit the Giant's Cave and created a shockwave.
It also did not cause much damage to Quixote.
Upon seeing this result, Quixote's tense expression instantly changed.
The root cause of the fluctuation did not cause much damage.
But Groudon's cleavage sword, unhindered and unleashed in fury, pierced through layers of earth and struck with Root Wave!
"N, quickly get Zekrom to fight it..." Quixote roared towards the back of the giant's cave, trying to get N to use some move to counter the cliff-like sword.
But whether it was because the Sword of the Cliff arrived too quickly, or for some other reason, N did not make any movement or reaction. The Sword of the Cliff swiftly arrived, and at the top of the Giant's Cave, it suddenly pierced out a towering rock peak!
This rocky blade has an extremely large range, enough to cover the entire Giant's Cave.
Ghetsis and Kyurem were right in the range of the precipice sword's attack, and in the very center, where they were most vulnerable.
Ugh—!
Amidst the aftershocks of the air, came the ethereal, agonizing howl of Kyurem. This single, agonizing roar, erupting in everyone's hearts, was enough to knock them to the ground.
The original Groudon's Cliff Blade is incredibly powerful; even Kyurem would find it difficult to withstand its power.
Under such an attack, Naquis...
Ze Shu had no idea what had happened to him; in any case, he was quite peaceful when the sword descended from the cliff.
There was hardly any movement. Unlike Kyurem, who seemed to be shouting "I'm in so much pain, I'm in so much pain" and roaring everywhere.
"Is that all...?"
No, not at all.
After a long while, at the top of the Giant's Cave, the towering rock walls turned into deep ice, which then cracked, and Kyurem's somewhat swaying dragon body emerged from it and fell down.
Also falling was Ghetsis, who was hiding deep between Kyurem's pair of solid icy wings, his face completely bloodless and deathly pale.
"Cough, cough..."
Quixote coughed up blood.
His face was grim, and his body swayed as he tried to hold on, but the scepter he always held in his hand, which symbolized the authority of the Plasma Team, had broken.
Even though he was hiding inside Kyurem and not directly harmed by the Precipice Sword, he still felt like he was about to ascend to heaven—after all, whether it was Kyurem's Void Roar, its icy aura in response to stress, or the "Dragon's Bane" damage from the Precipice Sword, the human body would find it difficult to withstand.
"N, we must fight to the death..." Quixote said resolutely, gripping the short section of his scepter tightly, to the expressionless N who came up to him.
He no longer had the energy to notice the strangeness on N's face.
His entire attention was focused on the other side.
Using all the wisdom he possessed as one of the Seven Sages, he analyzed the situation.
"N, watch out! The two Pokémon they summoned... I've heard rumors about Hoenn lately—Groudon and Kyogre! These are targets released by Team Aqua and Team Magma! They shouldn't be here! They were released using Hoopa, which they're researching with Acromima!"
"Then it's clear that Groudon and Kyogre aren't under each other's command!"
"They are not our real adversaries."
"And the real opponent..."
Quixote looked at Ze Shu on the destroyer and the white dragon Laceram standing beside him.
"A mere True Dragon shouldn't be able to withstand the combined might of me, you, Kyurem, and Zekrom!"
"N! We must seize this opportunity! After defeating and capturing Reshiram, we must combine the three powers of Shenron and restore it to the world. Then, Groudon and Kyogre will also be defeated by our Team Plasma."
"Yes! That's it. Let Zekrom gather his power and attack Lacey..."

Quetzs suddenly stopped speaking at this point.
Because he saw that the turbine-like black electricity condensed by the jet-black Zekrom, which was like a black hole, was not aimed at the enemies he had just mentioned—Lexiram and Zeki.
Instead, Kyurem targeted him.
Why?
N, who had remained silent until now, moved his lips slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Father...Quechice. I don't think that this attitude of being at odds with the world is conducive to rebuilding the kingdom..."
Restoring the old order and attempting to dominate the world... is something our Plasma Team should strive for.
"You..." Quixote's pupils dilated suddenly as he stared incredulously at N, who had uttered those words. "What...have you forgotten everything I've taught you since you were a child?!"
"I haven't forgotten," N replied. "I've never forgotten the Pokémon you introduced me to since I was little—the Pokémon that suffered abuse from humans, the Pokémon that were modified by humans, the Pokémon that were weakened by the effects of human environmental destruction."
"Since you haven't forgotten, then you shouldn't have let Zekrom aim at me!"
Quixote's eyes held an intense rage, an uncontrollable fury at N for not obeying his control.
"Listen! Humans have inherent flaws! If we want to liberate Pokémon, we must use overwhelming power to reunify the world and restore the imperial system. Only then will Team Plasma have enough power to prevent Pokémon from being abused again!"
"Humans may have the inherent flaws that you mentioned, Quixote."
Faced with Quixote's angry and reasoned argument, N revealed a bitter, mocking smile.
"But....
'
"Only now do I realize this."
"The Pokémon you introduced me to from childhood, the Pokémon that was abused by humans, was deliberately abused by Team Plasma."
"Those several pages of torture plans targeting different Pokémon are kept in the safe in your room. Perhaps you thought I would never be so offensive as to break into your room, so you have never been on guard."
"The Pokémon you introduced me to, which was modified by humans, Mr. Sawaki has already presented me with the manuscript of the Acromura experiment;"
"The Pokémon you introduced me to that got sick from environmental pollution was the result of pollution deliberately released by Team Plasma."
"The fact that pickpocket cats are often sickly and weak is very likely because they were soaked in garbage and liquid in a dusty mountain when they were born and couldn't breathe..."
"And I found out that the Caterpillar's egg was born in the Pokémon Breeding Center in Castelia City, a place with excellent conditions. But its adopter was Rod, the one I have always respected, the Seven Sages of Team Plasma."
"Rhodes has a powerful Dust Mountain."
"Of course, humans have their flaws, but those were Pokémon hunters who were wanted and wiped out by the League that was our enemy, Team Plasma, the Team Plasma that was trying to liberate Pokémon."
N said a lot at once.
As he spoke, Quixote's pupils first contracted sharply, then dilated, and finally settled into a calm state. Finally, he sighed and coldly retorted, "So you knew everything!"
"Yes. I know everything."
N smiled bitterly.
"As Ze Shu said, I am a pitiful guy who has been deceived by you."
"6
"One is Zekrom, the adopted son of the dragon you instilled with ideals, who only seeks to resonate with those ideals, and who helps you achieve your goal of domination."
"But now, I don't want to be an adopted son. I want to strive for the true liberation of Pokémon. Perhaps, that's why Zekrom still chose me after I realized the truth."
N had barely finished speaking.
The turbine-like black lightning condensed by Zekrom suddenly struck down towards Kyurem!
Kyurem, who had just been struck squarely by the precipice's sword and was in a weakened state, was now struck by Zekrom's long-accumulated lightning. Naturally, he could not withstand it for long. After unleashing another empty roar that resounded in everyone's hearts, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
The moment Kyurem completely lost his ability to fight.
Quixote collapsed to his knees, looking as if he had aged decades in an instant.
His son betrayed him, and Team Plasma was arrested and wiped out by the Alliance. Now, even Kyurem has no strength left. He no longer has any power to pursue "establishing an empire and ruling the world".
"Cough, cough pfft..."
Quixote spat out another mouthful of blood, unwilling to accept defeat.
Then, his kneeling body slumped weakly and collapsed to the ground.
-
Groudon's Precipice Blade had already pushed his body to its limit. He was only able to hold on because of his stubborn refusal to give up. Now, he was collapsing because his body had lost the willpower to support it.
"Is it really over...?"
'
Beneath the giant's cave, Aldak, who had been on high alert, was also startled by this scene of "father and son killing each other." Now, seeing Quigish on the ground, he also raised a question.
But just as he uttered his lament, another figure was staggering up from the other side of the giant's cave.
Soon, they appeared at the top of the Giant Cave, coming into everyone's view.
This man looked like a vagrant, with tangled hair, tattered clothes that barely covered his body, and his whole body covered in mud.
Ze Shu could only recognize him as Akroma from the technological glasses he was wearing over his left eye.
"It's not over yet! My research results haven't even been presented, how can it end here..."
Despite his near-death state, Akromma's expression still carried a hint of religious madness.
"Unleashing the potential of Pokémon—how could this research project be complete without the legendary, most powerful dragon?"
'
"Kyurem, the legendary Ice Pokémon, you possess abilities surpassing those of Reshiram and Zekrom. However, to stabilize your cellular structure, you have frozen your power!"
Akromah carefully picked up a device from her bosom. This device was shaped like a rhombus, with gray, white, and black colors interwoven, seemingly representing the "Three Dragons of the Way".
The moment this device was picked up.
Kyurem's body radiated an unnatural heat that melted the icy landscape it had created. At the same time, Zekrom felt uneasy and wanted to get away.
But it seems impossible to get away from it.
The heat released by the Kyurem is gradually approaching it.
"Kyurem, unite with Zekrom... no, rather, you are one!" Akromah cried out fervently.
"Zekhrom, strike with lightning!"
N chooses to let Czechoslovakia retaliate!
But when Zekrom's accumulated black electricity suddenly struck Kyurem, which was radiating heat, it was as if it wasn't hitting an enemy, but rather hitting itself, which shared the same origin as itself—the black electricity was absorbed into Kyurem's body, and even restored Kyurem's energy.
roar-!!!
That silent roar, unique to Kyurem, echoed once more.
It took two dragon-like steps and charged towards Zekrom.
Zekrom wanted to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him; instead, he had a urge to pounce on Kyurem as well.
After a while, the ice dragon and the black dragon clashed.
Their bodies are merging.
The energy of lightning and ice surged wildly within their fused body, gradually obscuring everyone's vision.
As the lightning and ice gradually subsided, Kyurem's new body appeared in everyone's sight.
It seemed to have connected with the jet-black dragon body of the Czech Roman Empire, transforming into a gray-black color scheme, and the lightning surrounding it also became icy cold.
And Czech Republic, Rom...
There's no trace of Czechoslovakia here anymore.
N was stunned.
Instead, Akromah's maniacal laughter rang out.
"Haha, hahaha... It worked... I succeeded on my first try..."
"The union of Kyurem and Zekrom... Look at your perfect physique, I shall call you, Dark Kyurem!"
"N, I have to thank you. Thank you for preserving Zekrom's perfect stamina. With the two combined, even though Kyurem was on the verge of destruction just now, Dark Kyurem is still in pretty good condition!"
"With this Dark Kyurem possessing two-thirds of the power of a divine dragon..." Acromor looked at Origin Kyogre and Origin Groudon on the opposite side and said fanatically, "Even you, I'm afraid..."
Origin Groudon and Origin Kyogre didn't understand what the human standing on the hilltop was babbling about.
All they knew was that the creature that had inexplicably attacked them earlier seemed to have been resurrected in a different form.
Origin Fathead Fish looked at Origin Groudon with a mocking expression: "Gurgle!"
Origin Groudon: (0O)!!
However, what the fathead fish said makes a little sense, well, just a little!
The dragon on the other side is still alive...
Doesn't that make its cliff-breaking sword seem rather weak?!
