Giovanni's offensive slowed slightly as he looked toward Logan's side with surprise.
Because of that montary pause, Lance finally gained a brief mont to breathe. He imdiately recalled his scattered dragons, gathering them tightly together. Seeing every one of them covered in wounds, his heart ached, yet he muttered quietly under his breath,
"…Almost there… just a little more… just a little more and it will be complete."
But when his gaze fell upon Logan and wtwo, Lance's pupils suddenly shrank.
A painful murmur escaped his lips like a delirious groan.
"…Not again…"
Monts ago, Garchomp had evolved under that sa radiant light, becoming ga Garchomp. That single sky-falling Dragon Rush had nearly left Lance powerless to resist.
Now—
That sa light was shining around wtwo.
He involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath. From the depths of his heart rose a chilling dread that made his scalp tingle.
And beneath that light—
wtwo's body began to change.
Its original height of nearly two ters gradually shrank until it stood only about one and a half ters tall. The appendage extending from the back of its head lengthened endlessly, replacing its tail.
Its body seed to regress, shifting from the form of an adult to that of a child.
Yet in stark contrast—
An unimaginable psychic power erupted from within it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA—!!!"
If the forr wtwo's psychic power had been like a boundless ocean, then now it resembled the infinite cosmos itself.
It let out a piercing cry toward the sky, releasing the terrifying power suddenly flooding its body.
Hurricanes and shockwaves exploded outward from ga wtwo Y. Psychic waves devoured everything across the island.
Towering mountains collapsed once more. Amid the thunderous roars of landslides, Soffan Island was nearly flattened.
When Logan had first arrived on the island, its tallest peak had exceeded two thousand ters.
After the succession of battles—
That two-kiloter peak had been reduced to less than five hundred ters.
The island itself was sinking.
The sea level was slowly rising.
As the dust cleared, wtwo's new form erged.
The surrounding space twisted under the pressure of its solidified psychic power.
Even more terrifying—
Psychic energy, normally invisible to the naked eye, had taken on a deep violet hue around wtwo Y, as if its entire body were engulfed in purple flas.
"…Incredible power. wtwo can evolve again?"
Giovanni stared wide-eyed at the miraculous sight.
As the true architect of the wtwo Project, no one understood wtwo's body better than Giovanni.
From birth, wtwo had been the most perfect Pokémon imaginable.
Overwhelming power.
No need for evolution.
Born strongest.
That was the aning of wtwo's existence.
And yet—
Even such perfection had broken its limits.
Earlier, Giovanni had already been puzzled when he saw Logan's ga Garchomp. He had buried that suspicion deep in his heart.
Now, seeing wtwo evolve again—
He understood.
Logan had grasped a power even Giovanni himself did not yet comprehend.
At this mont, both Giovanni and Lance felt an overwhelming threat upon seeing wtwo's new form.
rely looking at it caused their minds to stall.
Their hearts raced violently.
Their bodies felt frozen.
It even felt as if simply gazing upon ga wtwo Y might allow its psychic force to kill them.
With the ga Evolution of the Pokémon once known as the strongest—
wtwo's power had now reached an unimaginable level.
"…Such power deserves study. So this is ga Evolution."
Giovanni's eyes glimred.
As a trainer, witnessing a brand-new form of power naturally ignited his desire.
But before researching that power—
He had sothing far more important to do.
Eliminate the commander of the Kanto Elite Four standing before him.
As if sharing the sa thought, Logan and Giovanni glanced at each other.
They nodded silently.
"wtwo, show them the power of your new form."
"Go all out."
"Target Lance and his Dragon Legion."
"Psychic!"
At Logan's commanding voice, ga wtwo Y rose into the air.
"Zekrom, don't let it get close! Cross Thunder!"
"ROOOAAARRRR!"
Lance's hoarse shout echoed across the battlefield. Terror filled his voice as he watched ga wtwo Y fly toward him.
Zekrom roared thunderously into the sky, but even its cry carried unease.
If ga Garchomp had rely given Garchomp the strength to rival Zekrom—
Then ga wtwo's evolution had reached a level that made even Zekrom fearful.
A power surpassing even its destined rival—
Reshiram.
"Fate is the excuse of the weak. Luck is the humility of the strong. That is the aning of destiny."
Logan raised his head and looked calmly at wtwo's back.
His expression was relaxed.
He had once heard an old man sigh beneath withered vines, lanting, "This is fate."
He had seen successful people smile humbly and say, "I was just lucky."
But those who truly believed such words—
Were fools.
Everything Logan had achieved had a traceable cause.
He had no system granting him sudden power.
No cheat ability making him invincible from the beginning.
Everything he possessed ca from relentless persistence.
From intelligence.
And from a small amount of luck.
When others rested and played—
He trained with his Pokémon.
Built bonds with them.
Accumulated strength little by little.
Like grains of sand forming a tower.
Until finally—
He stood at the very summit of this world.
He was a true strongman.
A genuine one.
Not those who obtained power inexplicably.
Deep violet psychic light engulfed all of Cerise Island, burning away every other color.
Lance's hastily constructed "fortress" dissolved like snow under sunlight before ga wtwo Y's overwhelming psychic might.
Even Zekrom's Cross Thunder vanished within that endless sea of psychic light.
The Dragon of Ideals, already exhausted, launched its attack in haste—
But it was no match for ga wtwo Y.
And Logan pressed the attack without rcy.
"Dragonair, Latias, Sylveon—"
"Hyper Beam!"
Three blazing beams spiraled upward, striking Lance and his dragons.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The deafening explosions drowned out the cries of Pokémon.
Through smoke and blinding light, only distorted shadows of Lance's dragons could be seen writhing.
"We can't fall behind either…"
"Nidoking, Nidoqueen—Rock Tomb!"
"Rhyhorn, Rhydon—Rock Slide!"
Giovanni shielded his eyes from the purple glow and grinned viciously as he gave the order.
"…Now end it, Beedrill."
"Fell Stinger!"
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH—!!!"
Amid the collapsing rocks, the psychic tidal wave, and the roaring Hyper Beams—
Only Lance's scream echoed across the battlefield.
