From the mont Julian appeared, tagross quickly set up a Light Screen to block the rioting Pokémon, while Alakazam used Hypnosis to put them all to sleep.
Then, Julian dove into the gate of the secret realm and commanded Steelix to guard it with Protect.
This all took just one minute and thirty seconds.
In that brief ti, Julian had managed what over 300 trainers could not—he stopped nearly 20,000 Pokémon from rampaging further.
tagross, temporarily at the Elite level, and Alakazam, at its peak, perford flawlessly, each using their abilities to the fullest.
As Julian entered the gate, Steelix took position outside like a steadfast guardian.
It was only then that the other Trainers seed to snap out of their shock. They stared at the hypnotized Pokémon in disbelief.
One trainer murmured, "Am I dreaming… or am I dead?"
Others were just as stunned, struggling to process the scene before them.
They had been ready to die just monts ago, only for a mysterious stranger to resolve the crisis in an instant.
anwhile, the live broadcast equipnt on Pidgeot's neck had captured it all, flooding the screen with viewer comnts:
"That was a silver tagross! It's got to be Elite Walker!"
"Alakazam is incredible—Hypnosis worked on nearly 20,000 Pokémon!"
"I was scared to death watching this."
"You're lucky. I had to change my pants!"
"Everyone saw it was a silver tagross, right? And I swear I saw a Dragonite too!"
At the entrance of the secret realm, a young pseudo-Elite turned to his teacher.
"Teacher, who was that? Was it Gym leader Jake?"
The reason why he didn't think it was John, was because the man looked too young, and even though he said Jake, he didn't think it was him either.
"No, not Gym leader Jake, I think it should be Walker Elite's grandson."
He rembered the face of the Gym leader—it couldn't have been Jake. But Walker Elite's grandson also had a silver tagross, a rarity in all of Drakoria.
"That Julian—he's an Elite?!" the young pseudo-Elite exclaid.
He'd heard of Julian; he'd been trending on social dia recently, especially after footage showed his tagross defeating Articuno and breaking into the pseudo-Elite ranks.
But it broke through pseudo-Elite just recently and it's Elite level already? It was hard to believe.
"Likely a temporary boost in strength," Principal Brown clarified, noting his student's disbelief.
Even so, the young pseudo-Elite found it hard to imagine. "What kind of resources could elevate a pseudo-Elite to Elite strength?" he wondered. Such a leap was not only an increase in power but an advancent in life force.
"Don't dwell on it," Principal Brown advised. "With the Walkers' resources, it's hardly surprising. Now, get your Pokémon back."
Alakazam had used Hypnosis on all the Pokémon present, including the Trainers' own.
Given its strength, these Pokémon would be out cold for at least half a day—plenty of ti for Julian to address the issues within the realm.
The Trainers went about retrieving their unconscious Pokémon.
Though the imdiate danger was over, none looked relieved; many of their comrades had been lost in the fight.
So Trainers even carried their comatose Pokémon.
One trainer, unable to bear it, broke down, kicking the ground and sobbing, "This is all your fault!"
Others watched in silent empathy, so discreetly wiping away tears.
Inside Rift No. 36, Julian had tagross clear away the hostile Pokémon near the entrance. The frenzied creatures seed determined to escape the rift.
"Alakazam, seal the door with Light Screen," he commanded.
Alakazam nodded and raised a transparent Light Screen across the entrance, cutting off any chance for the Pokémon to break through.
Breaking through a Light Screen created by a peak Elite-level Alakazam would take even the strongest Pokémon among them half a month.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, an uneasy growl ca from beneath Dragonite, causing it to tremble, and Julian felt the shift imdiately.
"Dragonite, what's wrong?"
Julian sensed the Aura within Dragonite turning chaotic as a surge of aggression stirred in its heart.
He knew at once—it was that machine's influence.
Although Dragonite's power was approaching pseudo-Elite, it was still affected by the device's powerful signals.
'No wonder the Pokémon here lost control so completely, fighting without even feeling pain.'
"Return, Dragonite!"
Julian recalled Dragonite, hoping that inside its Poké Ball, it would be shielded from the machine's effects.
"tagross, Alakazam, scan the area!"
A cold determination shone in Julian's eyes.
tagross, at early Elite level, and Alakazam, at peak Elite level, each released waves of Psychic energy like radar, rapidly probing the surroundings.
After a few monts, Alakazam turned to Julian and nodded, then pointed in a specific direction.
"Let's go, tagross—fastest speed!"
Julian jumped onto tagross's back, gripping its cross-arm tightly.
tagross launched forward at an intense 400 km/h, the speed so fierce it distorted Julian's face in the wind.
"I really need a helt for this," he muttered.
anwhile, 20 kiloters from the secret realm's entrance, a machine the size of a small truck humd, with ten figures in purple and blue uniforms standing around it.
Asians, whites, blacks all types of people were present.
"Persian, there aren't any more Pokémon around here. Should we move the machine?" asked one of the group mbers.
mbers of the Z organization, each used code nas based on Pokémon.
"Move it. I want Yuan County destroyed completely," Persian replied with a dark grin. "This is the Z organization's first strike of the year—we'll show the people of Drakoria our power."
"Drakoria's supposed to be a 'no-go' for us. They're joking—it's all talk!"
"Just imagine them crying in Yuan County. Their deaths will nourish Zygarde's awakening," another added.
"Persian," soone voiced hesitantly, "an Elite Trainer from Drakoria is likely en route. I'm concerned—"
"What's there to worry about? Lord Seviper will handle that Trainer."
Persian's smile widened. Since they dared to do this, they naturally made sufficient preparations.
The team began preparing to relocate the machine.
Its interference reached 20 kiloters, causing any Pokémon within range to enter an agitated state.
If the scope of this machine was bigger, then there would have been more Pokémon rioting, and Yuan County would have been done for long before Julian even arrived.
