For a First-class Legendary Pokémon that possessed a "divine role," the core essence within its body—its origin power—was the key to its eternal undying existence.
Although that small clump of Death Essence had been expelled, Yveltal could still control it, preventing tagross from snatching it away.
But while tagross couldn't take it, there was still ga wtwo X.
After all, it was this guy that had forced this fragnt of essence out in the first place.
Just as Yveltal was about to reintegrate the essence fragnt, a hand suddenly appeared before its exposed heart.
Seeing that hand, Yveltal's heart gave a violent throb.
The next instant, an unbearable wave of pain surged through it.
Crunch!
Its heart was crushed alive by ga wtwo X, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
"Taaaaal—!!!"
Yveltal let out a heart-wrenching scream. Unfortunately, its body had been held in place by Psychic from the very beginning. No matter how maddening the pain, it couldn't even move a muscle.
Even with its heart crushed, it still wasn’t dead.
Such was a First-class Legendary. Even if its physical body was destroyed, as long as its core essence remained, it would not perish.
As Yveltal's heart was crushed, that small clump of Death Essence was naturally extracted by ga wtwo X. This pain was a hundred tis more excruciating than having its heart crushed.
It was no longer just physical agony but tornt of the mind and soul.
"TAAAH—!!!"
"Kill you— I will kill you all sooner or later, AAAAAH—!!!"
Yveltal shrieked, its face twisted with rage, but there was nothing it could do. It could only watch helplessly as ga wtwo X extracted the essence fragnt.
When the fragnt was completely pulled from its body, Yveltal let out a piercing screech.
Imdiately after, its broken body dissolved into countless tendrils of black mist.
In the blink of an eye, those black wisps condensed into a cocoon.
The Cocoon of Destruction.
Yveltal had reverted to the Cocoon of Destruction once more.
Julian paid no mind to Yveltal's earlier threats. Having lost a fragnt of its core essence, Yveltal would likely need tens of thousands of years of slumber just to wake up.
In ten thousand years, he'd probably be long dead, and even if he sohow wasn’t, by the ti Yveltal revived again, it would stand no chance against him.
The Cocoon of Destruction tore through space and vanished from the spot.
ga wtwo X was a bit stunned. It realized that its Psychic could no longer control the Cocoon of Destruction, which was why it had managed to escape.
Julian didn't mind though.
Yveltal simply couldn't be killed, so whether the Cocoon of Destruction was in his hands or soone else's made little difference.
If he could defeat it once, he could certainly defeat it twice, or even three tis.
With Yveltal transforming into the Cocoon of Destruction and vanishing, this incident was finally and truly over.
Julian imdiately cut off the ga Evolution connection with ga wtwo X. The mont the link was severed, an overwhelming wave of exhaustion washed over him. He felt completely drained, his legs going weak.
Fortunately, wtwo was there to support him.
The sea was calm, a gentle breeze blowing.
Thump!
Just as Julian was about to deliver so cool closing lines to wrap things up, wtwo gave him a light tap on the head.
"What was that for?"
Rubbing his forehead, Julian looked at wtwo with displeasure. Didn't it know how many satellites were pointed at them right now? Doing that in public—where was his dignity?
"The things you said to w... don't think I didn't hear them."
wtwo's words instantly turned Julian's annoyed expression into one of awkwardness. So it had heard after all. His face took on a sheepish look, though he tried to sound justified. "Well, your connection is indeed pretty deep after all."
"Child!"
w, seeing that the battle was over, wanted to have a word with its offspring.
"Scram."
Before it could even start, wtwo cut it off sharply, shooting w an unfriendly glare.
"Oh."
w nodded and obediently floated away.
Julian: ⊙▃⊙
'No, why are you leaving so quickly?'
'Is your courage that small?'
w felt that its child had just been way too powerful—already at the Forbidden-Class—and it also seed like an unfilial kid. What if it decided to beat its own parent too?
Had it not seen Yveltal’s miserable state just now?
"Ti's up," wtwo said.
"What ti's up?"
Before Julian could process it, he noticed wtwo had vanished.
So the summoning ti had expired.
Looking at the 70 remaining wtwo fragnts in his inventory, Julian muttered, "Don't worry. Sooner or later, you'll truly beco a permanent mber of this world."
"Gen~"
Gengar erged from Julian's shadow, holding the Champion's violet-gold cape.
It placed the cape over Julian's shoulders.
Curious, Julian asked: "Why didn’t you put it on at the beginning?"
"Gen~"
Gengar: "I was scared."
The reason was delivered with such shaless confidence that Julian gave Gengar's cheek a firm pinch.
But it wasn’t actually fear—Gengar admitted that it had simply forgotten.
"w~"
w: "Where's my child?"
"Why are you back again?"
Seeing w reappear, Julian grabbed it and pulled it into his arms, giving it a thorough rubdown.
w looked around but didn't see wtwo.
"It left," Julian said.
Then he looked at it disdainfully. "You only ca back because you knew it was gone, right?"
He didn't believe for a second that w, having been scared off by wtwo just monts ago, had returned to look for it.
w: "The stuff you gave last ti is all gone. Can I have so more?"
It was talking about its exclusive Pokéblocks.
"Here."
Julian took out ten boxes of w's exclusive Pokéblocks.
He was quite generous with w. If it hadn't brought wtwo's ga Stone today, combined with his own Unown's Protection buff, allowing wtwo to reach the Forbidden-Class, defeating Yveltal in just a few minutes would have been impossible.
Plus, this little guy felt amazing to hold. That soft, squishy feeling was simply indescribable.

> "We won! We finally won! Long live Champion Walker!"
> "Yveltal disappeared. Will it co back again?"
> "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't Champion Walker here?"
> "What was that clump of black energy? I feel like it was sothing incredible."
> "Definitely sothing good, but it's definitely not ant for you."
> "Julian must take responsibility for Babath. How many people died there?"
> "Where did this dog co from?"
> "w is so adorable!"

It was over. The defense battle of Babath concluded with Yveltal losing a fragnt of its core essence, transforming into the Cocoon of Destruction and leaving. Babath itself was devastated—one-third of its territory ruined, one-third of its population dead, though the remaining areas were relatively intact.
In total, four First-class Legendary Pokémon had participated in the battle, and that the nation wasn't completely wiped out was already quite an achievent.
Babath's Higher-Ups: 'At least not everyone died. And with many high-ranking officials gone... maybe there's an opportunity for ?'
So might wonder why other First-class Legendaries didn't intervene when so many people died. Well, compared to the global population, this loss was a drop in the bucket.
Plus, First-class Legendaries were beings above all. If you were a god, would you care about mortal deaths?
Moreover, the relationship between First-class Legendaries and humans had always been tense. Humans coveted their power, trying to control them. So why would a First-class Legendary help them without any benefits in sight?
