Pokemon: Spiritual Master-Chapter 466: [Who Am I]: I’m Here to Help You!

5 bonus Chapter's coming out at 12 PM EST. So I ask that you save you're powerstones until then.

-----------

Darkrai glanced at Johan.

You sure know how to talk, but when it comes to action, I'm always the one taking the hit.

"I got some tasty treats for you," Johan said, using his Aura.

Darkrai shot him another sidelong glance and snorted coldly.

As if I'd be so easily bribed by food.

"I'll throw in ten boxes of Pokéblocks."

BOOM!!

A dark aura erupted around Darkrai, and it raised a hand, forming a twisted black hole before charging straight at the Deoxys that was violently rampaging through Verdanturf Town.

Johan gave a subtle nod.

Feels like twenty boxes of Pokéblocks would be enough to make Darkrai take on Arceus head-to-head.

Sensing the threat, Deoxys instantly shifted into Defense Forme, conjuring a transparent barrier around itself.

"Die!!"

Darkrai's Dark Void expanded infinitely as it neared Deoxys. Having witnessed its previous clash with Rayquaza, Darkrai seemed to have already devised a countermeasure.

CRACK, CRACK, CRACK—

Ripples spread across Deoxys' protective barrier, intricate cracks forming until—

BOOM!

It shattered completely.

In terms of typing, the Psychic-type Deoxys was completely countered by the Dark-type Darkrai!

Deoxys' eyes flared with anger as it swiftly changed forms again. Four whip-like arms spread wide—Attack Forme!

No backing down!

BOOM!!

The two forces clashed violently in midair. The shockwaves bent the city's trees, sending debris flying in all directions.

Amidst the swirling dust and chaos, both Darkrai and Deoxys were blasted backward.

Deoxys stabilized itself in the air, while Darkrai crashed through a building before landing in front of Johan.

The dark mist around it still churned wildly. Though at a disadvantage, it didn't seem injured.

It simply muttered in a deep voice, "Not bad!"

Its deep blue eyes flickered once more as it gathered energy and charged at Deoxys again.

Seeing this, Fitzwilliam turned and sprinted toward the Verdanturf Space Center.

A pure battle of strength wouldn't be enough to take down Deoxys.

They needed to find the source of its rage.

Johan and Steven exchanged a glance.

Determination shone in both their eyes.

"Metagross!"

Steven stepped forward, his Key Stone radiating a dazzling rainbow light. Beside him, his Shiny Metagross responded in kind.

"Mega Evolution!"

HUM—

"Kong-gin!!"

With a mighty roar, Metagross evolved within the enveloping energy of Mega Evolution.

Mega Metagross!

Johan smiled slightly, adjusting his monocle as his own chest radiated a brilliant light.

"Gengar—"

"Mega Evolve!!"

In an instant, the radiant energy of Mega Evolution illuminated the pitch-black city as if it were broad daylight.

The burst of energy was even greater than Steven's Metagross.

Up in the sky, Rayquaza, lazily reclining within the clouds, tilted its head slightly, blinking twice as it observed the Mega Evolution energy enveloping Gengar below.

Teacher truly lives up to his name.

So this is the power of bonds?

Steven's gaze deepened, admiration gleaming in his eyes.

As the rainbow glow faded, Mega Gengar emerged, crimson-eyed, covered in menacing spikes, with a golden eye opening on its forehead. Half of its body lurked within another dimension, revealing a sinister grin toward Deoxys.

"Ka-kaah!!"

Darkness spread beneath it.

Mega Gengar plunged into the shadow, vanishing—

—Only to reappear behind Deoxys!

A hand formed entirely of shadows emerged, silent and swift, touching Deoxys' body.

A chilling sensation spread through Deoxys, freezing it in place just as it was shifting into Speed Forme to evade Darkrai's attack.

Mega Gengar's Ability—Shadow Tag!

At that moment—

Darkrai surged forward with Dark Void, while Mega Gengar formed a massive black sphere from behind.

A pincer attack!

RUMBLE!!

"That's... Johan-sensei! And Steven!"

On the deck of the ship outside Verdanturf Town, Wallace gasped.

"And a mythical Pokémon—Darkrai," Drake murmured, half-squinting.

So the rumors were true—Johan had indeed captured this fearsome Darkrai.

However—

Even with its movement restricted, Deoxys wasn't about to go down without a fight.

Deoxys shifted into Defense Forme once more, crossing its arms over its chest.

A transparent shield formed, blocking Darkrai and Mega Gengar's attacks.

Held in place between two massive Dark Voids.

"Mega Metagross, Meteor Mash!"

"Kong-gin!!"

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Four thick, metallic claws gleamed with an intense steel light as they crashed into Deoxys' barrier from the left.

The shield rippled violently.

"Dragonite!"

"Raaa!!"

Excited, Dragonite flapped its wings, surging with a dark red, menacing aura.

Outrage—Activated!

"Extreme Speed!"

Surrounded by spiraling air currents, Dragonite became a blur of white and dark red, like a massive arrow streaking toward Deoxys!

"Garruu!"

Urshifu braced itself, its aura skyrocketing.

It scoffed inwardly.

Fighting in the sky? How pointless. If Deoxys had the guts, it would come down and battle on solid ground!

"Hm?"

Noticing the blue-tinted Dragonite, Rayquaza scratched its head.

Eh?

Why does this feel like I suddenly have an illegitimate child?

BOOM!!

Dragonite slammed into the right side of Deoxys' barrier, creating another set of ripples.

For a moment, four Pokémon surrounded and assaulted Deoxys!

The sheer spectacle made even the Verdanturf Town residents, who had taken refuge, peek out of their windows.

And what they saw would be seared into their memories forever—

In the dim sky, Darkrai, Mega Gengar, Dragonite, and Mega Metagross were going toe-to-toe with Deoxys!

This was the same Deoxys that had clashed with Rayquaza earlier!

Didn't that mean these four Pokémon were on par with Rayquaza?!

"T-That's..."

"That's Johan-sensei and Steven!"

"What kind of monsters are these?!"

Even Wallace couldn't stop his eyelid from twitching. "They're actually holding it back?"

Drake, seeing more than Wallace, spoke in a low tone.

"Deoxys is still maintaining a massive shield against Rayquaza's attacks."

But even so, this was beyond impressive.

He had received intel from the Pokémon League.

Something was clearly wrong with this Deoxys.

"If only Marshadow were here..." Johan muttered, narrowing his eyes at the sky.

Knowing Marshadow, it would have already charged in with a little stick, knocking Deoxys on the head for an instant KO.

Right now, they were just barely keeping it at bay.

But one thing was certain—this Deoxys was unbelievably strong.

No wonder even Rayquaza struggled against it in the movie.

Though, Rayquaza probably wasn't even going all out. If it didn't use Dragon Ascent, was it really fighting seriously?

"Cha!!"

But even without Marshadow, Johan had another plan.

From Dragonite's back, Tinkaton leaped, hammer gleaming like a falling star, enhanced by three stacks of Swords Dance.

Not aiming to shatter Deoxys' shield—

Just to—

BAM!!

A tremendous force slammed Deoxys and its barrier into the ground.

"Oowoo~~"

Snow and frost swirled.

A northern landscape.

"Garruu!"

Urshifu grinned.

Finally, it came down!

It closed its eyes, adjusted its stance, and threw a spear-like punch straight for Deoxys!

Got it! Here's the continuation of the translation:

BOOM!!

A terrifying surge of Psychic energy erupted from Deoxys, spreading out from its body in a vast field that engulfed almost all of Verdanturf Town.

Psychic Terrain!

HUM—

Riding this explosive burst of energy, Deoxys once again formed an energy sphere. Without any specific target, it locked onto the first opponent within its line of sight—Mega Gengar.

"Ka-kaah!"

Mega Gengar shivered, quickly slipping into the dimensional rift, reappearing behind Darkrai in an instant.

A new message appeared on the screen of Johan's phone, glowing faintly in green light:

[Who Am I]: I'm here to help you!

HUM—

A powerful wave of Aura energy surged straight into Deoxys' consciousness.

It tried to resist, but Darkrai, Mega Gengar, Dragonite, and the others all gritted their teeth and pressed the attack, restraining its movements for the moment.

Rage, hatred, resentment...

Countless negative emotions churned within Deoxys' mind, echoes of its past experiences filling the space.

Even with the support of multiple sources, Johan's Aura alone struggled to break through Deoxys' inner barriers to find its true self.

"Gengar!" Johan called out.

In response, Mega Gengar curled its tongue and spat out a gleaming green core gemstone, holding it up before Deoxys.

At the sight of the green gemstone, Deoxys suddenly froze.

Its struggles came to an abrupt halt, and the chaotic emotions within its mind parted just slightly.

That was the opening Johan needed.

"Deoxys!" Johan's voice resonated deep within Deoxys' consciousness.

"Your companion has been searching for you!"

Companion...

Companion!

Above Verdanturf Town, streaks of purple auroras once again lit up the night sky.

Seeing Deoxys' sudden stillness, Johan quickly stepped forward, raising his phone. The screen emitted a soft, green glow.

A message appeared.

[█████]: Friend!

At that moment—

A mysterious, unseen network of data formed, with Porygon2 actively traversing its pathways. Thin, faint threads of light drifted from Deoxys' body into the digital stream.

Johan's Aura flickered in response.

His Key Stone trembled slightly.

This feeling...

At that very moment—

Kanto, Viridian City—Rocket Team Secret Base.

"In-Evolution Light?"

Inside the research lab, the screen displaying Porygon2 suddenly burst with dazzling white light, drawing everyone's attention.

Porygon2 was evolving?

None of them noticed the subtle fluctuations in the incubation chamber.

There, where Mewtwo slumbered, a strange fusion of Psychic energy and Aura flickered faintly.

Simultaneously, thin, invisible white threads, brimming with an overwhelming life force, converged before it.

Suddenly—

Mewtwo's closed eyes glowed red beneath its dark visor.

It lifted a hand.

The floating white strands coalesced into a single, brilliant gemstone.

If Johan had been present, he would have immediately recognized it for what it was—

A Mega Evolution Stone!

Gently rubbing the stone between its fingers, Mewtwo's glowing eyes gradually dimmed.

Silence.

The secret base returned to stillness.
