Chapter 1039: Darkrai’s Fate - Oracion’s Secret!

Half of Alamos Town had already disintegrated, becoming purple flecks.

Half of the remaining ceased to exist the moment a blackish whiteness appeared.

In the remaining half, at the center of the Town, the survivors rubbed their eyes, looking at the horrible sight.

This was more than the Characters of Pokemon Bubble could handle.

They could handle emotional, spiritual, and psychological pain and atrocities, but this bloodshed...

Ash and Dawn, running up the Space-Time Towers, paused on the stairs, a paleness making their faces look white.

They had already figured out that to calm the destruction caused by Palkia and Dialga, and the unknown creatures they had brought with them from a different dimension, was to use Oracion, the song created by Alice’s grandmother.

With no other explanation, the Characters had put Red Sun’s Vash transformation, Beelzemon, ShineGreymon, and Zeus into the dimensional creatures’ category, relating them to the Space and Time Pokemon.

Only the mystery of Dr. Desmond exploding into a mass of blood and filth remained.

They were coping with that memory by deluding themselves, thinking of it as nothing but another inexplicable phenomenon because of the Dream and Real Worlds merging.

Now, Ash carried the metal disc with Oracion recorded on it, as he and Dawn made their way to the top of the tower.

However, the sudden flash of whiteness had made them pause as well.

And the moment the flash receded, Palkia and Dialga again attacked each other, as if they were two puppets controlled by their madness.

Their attacks changed the topography, explosions sending plumes of smoke high in the air.

If it weren’t for hundreds of Pokemon blocking many of Palkia’s and Dialga’s moves, then all would have already died by now.

Suddenly, while fighting each other, the two Pokemon came next to the Space-Time Towers and stopped.

The marble on Palkia’s shoulder glowed pink.

A bright blue glow escaped the marble on Dialga’s chest.

Standing on a bridge halfway up the Space-Time Tower’s outer periphery, Tonio’s face paled. "Oh, no!" he cried, seeing the readings on his computer. "If those two attacks met once more..."

Alice, Brock, and the faces of other Pokemon and people darkened.

It was obvious what would happen to them.

The bridge itself had begun breaking off into a mass of purple flakes. Ash and Dawn still needed some time to reach the top of the Towers and play Oracion.

If the two attacks met each other, then the entire town would disappear instantly!

Unheeding of the dark faces and darker thoughts of everyone, Palkia slashed out a Spatial Rend, with Dialga replying with a Roar of Time.

A silence settled over people’s hearts, all sounds abandoning their minds and spirits.

Suddenly, just before the all-annihilating moves could meet each other, a black blur came shooting across space and appeared between them.

"HA!" Darkrai, with his head covered in blood, stretched his hands out.

With him as the center, a mass of blackness exploded, covering both Palkia and Dialga, trapping them in nightmares.

"ASH!" Dawn screamed. "NOW!!"

Ash, Dawn, Pikachu, and more Pokemon ran up the stairs, taking the clue.

In only a few moments, they arrived next to the music machine, Ash installing the music disc in a heartbeat. Together, he and Dawn pulled the lever down to play the music, as they had already learned how to operate the machine in the afternoon.

However, in the very next moment, purple flakes began appearing here and there, short-circuiting the entire system.

"... Now what?" Dawn gasped.

Ash’s head snapped toward Pikachu, the Pokemon understanding his intention right away.

Meanwhile, inside the mass of blackness, Darkrai struggled to keep the two Pokemon trapped. Suddenly, with a jerk, his arms gave way, and the blackness collapsed, Palkia and Dialga regaining their madness... and an ocean of anger.

Together, the two Pokemon let out a wrathful growl.

Palkia attacked with Aura Sphere, a pink ball of energy gathering between his hands, before he fired it at Darkrai.

Dialga let out another roar, blasting the space with a monstrously large Hyper Beam.

Forget about dodging and blocking, Darkrai couldn’t even move and was already falling.

As per the storyline, the Mythical Pokemon would vanish into nothingness after the attacks landed on him, only to reappear in perfect health at the end, when Dialga had sent the Alamos Town back to the Pokemon Dimension.

That... was undesirable, though.

So, as Alice screamed from the bridge, crying her lungs out for Darkrai, and just as the Hyper Beam and Aura Sphere were to land on a half-dead Darkrai, a Master Ball struck its back first, hidden from all eyes.

The attacks struck each other, creating a massive explosion.

When the smoke thinned, Darkrai had already vanished.

Silence.

Palkia and Dialga cared for nothing, already preparing for another Spatial Rend and Roar of Time.

"Stop it!" Alice screamed, holding her face. "Just stop it!!"

Before the Space and Time Pokemon could end the world, though, up at the Tower, in the music room, Pikachu and Pachirisu climbed up the machine and... let out bolts of electricity, giving it their all.

At the same time, at the edge of the town, a mass of flesh peeked out from under a bench, waiting for the music to play as per the storyline.

It was none other than Agent Zero of Quasi Cipher Pol, Zeus.

After reaching the 12th Floor, killing a Contestant became much more difficult because of the sheer number of HP one possessed. It was more so for those who had abilities like Zeus, allowing them to consume others to refill their health.

Something like that had happened here, too.

Still, Red Sun’s evolved Angel Arm had been powerful enough to obliterate all Brawlers, not leaving nearly enough for Zeus to regain his form.

Now, he was desperately waiting for Oracion’s music, because only he knew...

"Ah, you know about Oracion’s healing factor, too?"

The voice came out of nowhere.

The mass of flesh squirmed and sensed a man in a black jacket and jeans seated on the bench, reading...

... Daily Prophet, while eating an apple.
