Chapter 299 Hoopa has been captured
The girl who sprang from the back of the heterochromatic Genesect, as if being "carried" by Genesect, heard Hoopa's anxious shout, her eyes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Hu, Huba...."
'
She was dressed in the simple attire of the Creators, a linen-colored dress, with a white cloth wrapped around her forehead. What was unusual was the bamboo pouch tied around her waist, where she kept all her savings, which she had brought out to pay off Hoopa's debts.
Even when she was ejected from Genesect's back, she remained unconscious, clutching the bag the entire time.
"Mayali!" Hoopa sniffed and called out anxiously, "Hoopa is here to save you! Hoopa and Zeshu are here to save you!"
Hoopa and Zeshu searched so hard for you, but you're alright now!
Mei Yali opened her bewildered eyes, but hadn't said anything yet.
Akromar laughed and said, "It seems my preparations were quite good. And it seems this Mayali is very important to you. In that case, as long as some conditions are met, I can easily release Mayali."
"Of course, legendary investigator, you can certainly capture me."
"But before you get the idea that you're going to seize on me, think about this: this girl named Mayari is currently bound inside Genesect's body. Oh, no, inside the cannon barrel—the very cannon barrel that just unleashed that terrifyingly powerful beam of light at you..."
'
"Well then, you're going to get this girl killed!"
Ze Shu frowned and asked, "What conditions do you want?"
"My requirements aren't high." Upon hearing this, Acromorium's eyes lit up, and she said enthusiastically, "I'm only interested in my research. I hope to unleash the full potential of Pokémon. And to achieve this goal, the most basic requirement is naturally to have Pokémon that meet my standards and that I can modify."
He pointed to Deoxys next to Zeki, and then to Hoopa.
"This amazing Pokémon, and this... Hoopa, you hand them over to me, and then let me go, and I'll give you Mayari. What do you think of this offer?"
These requirements aren't that high.
Ze Shu immediately sneered: "Do you think you can make such an outrageous request to me by relying on this Mei Yali, whom I've never even met? To me, whether Mei Yali lives or dies is not as important as beating you down."
"It's good that Mayali was rescued. But if she wasn't, that's not my problem. The problem is with you, the wanted criminal. You killed her, not me."
"All I want to do is arrest you and put you on trial after you have killed Mayali."
"No! No!" Hoopa cried out in panic, tears streaming down its face. "Mayali is important! She's important to Hoopa! Zeshu, you promised me you'd save Mayali! Mayali can't die!"
Ze Shu: "————"
No, you hupa!
Ze Shu was speechless at Hu Pa's attempt to help but only made things worse.
How can you expose your weakest needs during negotiations? That would be the most humiliating thing to do.
Bound by Genesect, Mayari blinked in confusion, but also began to understand many things. She felt a mixture of helplessness towards Hoopa and gratitude, and cried out, "Hoopa! This gentleman is right... You shouldn't..."
At this moment, Akromah chuckled, interrupting Mayali's words.
"It seems that the investigator you're asking for help from, Little Hoopa, is quite unapproachable. Since that's the case, and this investigator is unreliable, then I'll change my request, this time to you, Little Hoopa."
"As long as you do well, little Hoopa, I will also release this girl named Mayali."
Hupa asked nervously, "W-what conditions?!"
Next, it saw Akromah take out a container from somewhere. Through the glass shell of the container, it could be seen that inside was a pot—a pot with a body surrounded by an Arceus-style ring and a mouth that looked like a bright red demon god.
But a black, malevolent mist was swirling and billowing from the spout.
"This, this is...."
'
The moment Hupa saw the pot, a strange sense of fear welled up inside him.
"This is... the Jar of Punishment." Akromma smiled. "Legend has it that the Jar of Punishment is the super demon god Hoopa, who is said to be sealed with a halo. I spent a lot of effort to get my hands on this."
"The Super Demon God with a Halo... Hoo-Hoopa..." Hoopa managed to utter, "This so-called Super Demon God shares the same name as... Hoopa..."
Akromar smiled and shook his head: "So this is you. Once you enter this jar of retribution, I can release this Mayari. After all, I'm only interested in Pokémon, not humans at all."
"Hoopa! No! You can't do this!" Mayari cried out anxiously, "You can't go into the Jar of Punishment!"
But no matter how much Mayali pleaded, Hoopa was naturally willing to let himself replace Mayali.
But just as it was about to agree, a surge of fear of the pot made it difficult to utter the cry.
Why...why is this happening...?
"Hupa...I'm afraid of this pot..."
Hupa looked at the bound Mayali with teary eyes, disappointed in himself for not being able to call out to save Mayali.
"Hoopa! You can't go into the Judgment Jar! That's the jar Grandpa made to seal Hoopa, have you forgotten! You're most afraid of being alone! Don't go in!" Maya urged Hoopa urgently.
"Grandpa also said that the pot seals Hoopa's evil thoughts and violent energy, that manifested black mist. Hoopa, you can't go in, or you'll become a bad Hoopa! I don't want Hoopa to become a bad Hoopa... Ah!!"
Before Maya could finish her series of words of dissuasion, a burst of fire erupted from the Genosect cannon beneath her, causing Maya to be in so much pain that her face contorted and she could no longer speak.
"Mayali!!" Hoopa's eyes widened.
"Mayali won't last long. If you have the courage to face it, little Hoopa, you should agree as soon as possible, otherwise..." Akroma said with a smile, "Mayali will suffer a lot more."
"Hoopa! No! Ah!"
The cannon barrel of Genosect ignited to a new level.
"I...I...No! Stop! Don't burn Mayali!"
"Hu-Hupa agrees!"
From Mayali's words, Hoopa gradually understood why it feared the Judgment Jar. For it, the Judgment Jar brought back painful memories of being deprived of its freedom and power.
But for Hoopa, who was trying to save Mayali, aside from his instinctive fear, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
So Hoopa finally blurted it out.
Akromma finally smiled happily: "Really?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Hoopa cried out, "Of course! Hoopa will go into this pot! Make that big cannon stop! Otherwise, Hoopa won't go in!"
I promise you.
Akromma snapped his fingers, and the flames on Genesect's back went out.
Mayari collapsed completely, her eyes vacant, panting heavily, "No... Hoopa..."
Ignoring Mayali's persistent mutterings, Akromma smiled and held up the container of the Punishment Jar, saying, "In that case, little Hoopa, you should come in too. Don't worry, I won't release Mayali; I promise you."
With a "click," the cannon barrel of Genosect was disassembled in half.
"Once you come in, Hoopa, the cannons will be unloaded, and Mayari will be released," Akroma said. "I keep my word, and I hope you keep yours too, Hoopa."
Hoopa shouted angrily, "Of course Hoopa keeps his word!"
Looking at the urn of punishment presented by Akromma, Hoopa sniffed, then, with tears in her eyes, turned to Zeki and said, "Zeki... Hoopa... is over..."
Ze Shu sighed.
Mayari was placed inside Genesect's cannon barrel by the treacherous Akromma. Zeki couldn't immediately devise a reasonable way to rescue her without risk. And, coincidentally, Hoopa, deeply concerned for Mayari, fell into Akromma's trap.
"If, if, Hoopa becomes the bad Hoopa that Mayari talks about... Not only does Mayari dislike Hoopa becoming a bad Hoopa, but Hoopa herself also dislikes it becoming a bad Hoopa..."

"Hoopa knows Sawaki is very strong. If Hoopa turns into Bad Hoopa, Sawaki, please beat Hoopa awake, okay? This time, it doesn't matter how hard you hit her or how much it hurts! Hoopa won't blame Sawaki!"
When he said the last sentence, Hoopa seemed to have mustered up his courage.
Ze Shu didn't say much, but just rubbed Hu Pa's head before saying, "I'll beat you flat, Hu Pa."
After a long silence, Ze Shu added, "The Judgment Pot isn't a bad thing. The evil thoughts on it were removed from Hoopa before. Hoopa, you don't need to be afraid of it."
"Yeah! Hoopa wasn't afraid at all!"
Hupa gave a strong "hmm" while holding back her tears.
"That...that Hupa is gone..."
""
Hoopa floated over, and Akromma opened the container. The Jar of Punishment seemed to sense Hoopa, and black mist surged, enveloping Hoopa and then sucking it in.
Before Hoopa was sucked in, Akromma, in order to gain Hoopa's trust, also completely removed Genosek's cannon barrel, allowing Mayari to successfully escape, and her powerless body collapsed to the ground.
"Hahaha!" Akromma slammed the urn containing Hoopa back into its container and retreated hastily, for Deoxys was charging towards him with lightning speed. "I was prepared for this!"
Suddenly, the strangely colored Genesect Dynasty Deoxys sang a sharp insect chirp. Although Deoxys was not afraid of this highly effective move, it did indeed hinder Deoxys for a while.
And then, only for this short period of time.
Suddenly, a fierce wind and torrential rain swept through the Tower of Heaven.
Three "strong giants" rode on clouds, blocking Deoxys's path.
These three "strong men" have bodies that are blue, orange, and green respectively, and are the three cloud gods—the Thunder Cloud, the Earth Cloud, and the Tornado Cloud.
Their faces all showed fear towards Ze Shu, as if they didn't want to be his enemy, yet they unnaturally wielded their raging winds and rain, unleashing Ochisis's attacks and turning the top floor of the Tower of Heaven into chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the heterochromatic Genesect, whose cannon barrel had been removed, shifted its form.
It was as if it had transformed from its "normal form" into a "high-speed flight form".
As soon as Akromah jumped onto his back, with a "boom," they burst through the walls of the Tower of Heaven and fled into the blue sky.
"Zezezeshu! Don't just stand there staring at that evil scientist's retreating figure! He's gone so far! He's so hard to catch! We'll take care of that evil scientist later!"
Higana dodged the wind blades that were swung from somewhere, screaming in panic.
"Help me! I can't handle these three guys!"
Her Salamence and Roaring Moon also joined the battle.
Yet, under the "power of the Three Cloud Gods," he was struck by a wind blade on his left cheek and a mud splattered onto his right cheek.
Ze Shu snapped out of his daze and looked back at the three cloud gods that were attacking him. They seemed to recognize him, because their expressions towards him showed fear, and their attacks seemed to avoid him, as if they dared not provoke him.
They recognized Higana, but their attacks were directed at Higana and her two tigresses, ignoring even Deoxys's attacks.
Why do these three cloud gods recognize them?
Ze Shu thought about it for a moment and came up with the answer: Wash the green.
"Xijiana, have you forgotten that you found a mirror in Xicui?"
"What?! A mirror?!" Higana awkwardly leaped over another gust of wind blades unleashed by a tornado. "Oh! Oh! I remember now!"
She hurriedly took out an exquisite antique mirror from her bosom.
The moment the mirror was taken out, the three cloud gods' expressions changed instantly. They suddenly revealed a humiliated look and launched even more fierce attacks at Xijiana, as if they did not want Xijiana to get the mirror.
"Is this...this mirror?!"
"What's the use?!"
Higana hurriedly dodged the attacks, shouting loudly.
Ze Shu: "Just look at these three cloud gods and you'll know."
"Is that so...?"
"9
After hastily dodging an attack, Higana raised the mirror high and looked at the tornado.
Long Juanyun's expression changed instantly.
Even faster than its facial expression was its physical transformation.
In a split second, the tornado transformed from a burly, green-clad man riding the cloud into a large bird, also green, but flapping its wings.
"This mirror can transform it?!"
Seeing this change, Higana exclaimed in surprise.
In her hand is a "revealing mirror".
It can transform the Three Cloud Gods from their human-like "incarnation form" into their beast-like "spirit beast form"—both forms have their advantages, and it's not a matter of one form being better than the other.
But why did Tornado's expression change instantly when Higanbana took out the Revelation Mirror?
Seeing the changes in the tornado, Higana's eyes suddenly lit up as if she had just realized something: "I understand why you made me take out this mirror, Ze Shu!!"
The instant the tornado finished transforming, Higana put down the revealing mirror, then suddenly picked it up again and shone it at the tornado: "Transform again!"
Tornado's eyes suddenly revealed a look of "No!"
However, its body could not resist the light of the mirror, and in an instant, it changed back from "spirit beast form" to "incarnation form".
then...
"If you change again!"
Higana then put down the mirror and then picked it up again.
Just as the tornado had transformed from a "big bird back to a human," it instantly transformed back into a "big bird."
"This is so much fun!"
Higana said with great interest, looking at the humiliated expression on Tornado's face, and then raised the mirror again.
"If you change again!"
Judging from her interested expression, Higana wouldn't lose interest until she'd played with it all day.
She even looked at the land clouds and lightning clouds beyond the tornado clouds.
Land clouds and lightning clouds: "∑(A11)"
Don't look over here!
