The massive circular stadium stood deathly silent. You could hear a pin drop.
John walked forward into the arena.
Empty.
The spectators, the referees, all had been cleared away.
John rembered his previous battle with Shadow wtwo, everything around them had been frozen like soone pressed pause, all people stopping motionless as though ti itself had halted. Now, they simply weren't present at all.
At the arena's center, on the elevated battle platform, a figure stood wreathed in deep, pitch-black energy. Arms crossed, expression cold and indifferent.
Shadow wtwo silently observed John, as though it had been waiting an eternity.
"You've finally arrived!"
"You're much stronger now. So tell , can you defeat this ti?" Shadow wtwo extended one hand toward John.
BOOM!!!
Psychic pressure erupted like a tidal wave, crushing down with enough force to pulverize stone.
This ti, John didn't close his eyes. He didn't dodge. He simply stared back at Shadow wtwo with the sa silent intensity.
Gardevoir materialized before John from empty air, completing ga Evolution in an instant. The crown atop her head blazed with power as she extended both hands forward.
"Protect!"
An invisible barrier enveloped both John and ga Gardevoir within its protection.
Though one could hear sounds like shattering glass as the barrier strained, the shield held firm. Any cracks that appeared instantly repaired themselves, restoring to pristine condition. Shadow wtwo's assault couldn't completely shatter the defense.
"Blocked it. Very easily, in fact." Shadow wtwo's attack reminded John of the first ti he'd encountered this being.
Back then, he'd just conquered the Unova League. Shadow wtwo descended, saying sothing about wanting John to defeat it, then casually extended one hand, and John had been slamd face-first into the ground.
Wide Guard, Safeguard, Light Screen, Protect, deploying them all simultaneously hadn't prevented the humiliation.
Now a single Protect could easily shield both John and Gardevoir. The progress Gardevoir had made in the intervening ti was staggering.
Shadow wtwo's expression didn't change, but its eyes lifted slightly, looking down, yet unmistakably showing awakened battle interest.
A mont later, Shadow wtwo suddenly vanished from sight, teleporting to the higher sky. Its right hand pointed downward.
"Shadow Storm!"
Pillar-like black tornadoes erupted from the ground without warning. Within a single breath, they split, one beca three, three beca nine. All nine tornadoes simultaneously hamred the barrier.
Behind John, his battle strategy began unfolding.
Three Pokeballs flew through the air simultaneously.
Gengar, Aggron, Tyranitar entered the field.
"GA EVOLUTION!"
All three Pokemon ga Evolved simultaneously upon entry.
When Shadow wtwo tried escaping this ancient pressure, it discovered the space surrounding it had been locked down. Instant escape was impossible. As it moved to launch a Shadow Break forward, it found itself already falling into the Distortion World.
"Supre Continental Fall!!!" John continued issuing attack commands.
ga Tyranitar and ga Aggron began their assault.
One hundred ters in the air, two massive transport gateways slowly opened, one above, one below. Two gigantic teors descended from within.
Shadow wtwo clearly saw the teors falling from the sky, but paid them no attention. Its gaze remained fixed on ga Gardevoir maintaining the protective screen. Instinct told it this represented the greatest threat.
For a being that had lived long in the wild, instinct was its most reliable asset.
"Shadow Rush!"
Shadow wtwo imdiately transford into a black shockwave descending from above, using its own terrifying power to crash against the barrier.
Under normal circumstances, ga Gardevoir's Future Sight would prove very difficult to effectively land against Shadow wtwo.
But now, ga Gardevoir's psychic power level exceeded even what Arceus itself could match.(Supposedly)
While activating Future Sight, ga Gardevoir added Trick Room, thoroughly reinforcing the dinsional space that ga Tyranitar and ga Aggron had constructed.
Within Trick Room, the fast beca slow, and the slow beca fast.
As a Psychic-type technique also connected to spatial forces, ga Gardevoir was the absolute master controller. No matter how powerful Shadow wtwo might be, regardless of how its Dark-type attributes reduced other type-effectiveness by half on its body, before the miraculous phenonon of Trick Room, its speed now matched ga Aggron's sluggish pace!
The natural order had been inverted.
Now Shadow wtwo found every movent laborious!
Forget escaping, even raising an arm proved difficult!
John stood silently in the distance, watching a giant teor crash down, pinning Shadow wtwo beneath their crushing weight.
BOOM!!!!
The Distortion World's ground shook violently, causing even space itself to tremble. Such an attack would have annihilated most ordinary Legendary Pokemon outright.
But the current opponent was Shadow wtwo. What would the actual effect be?
