Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice-Chapter 206: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice []

"Huff... huff... that was close, I almost lost my life."

"By the way, where is this place?"

"Dad! Mom! Where are you?!"

"What's going on? And who's that crazy ice user?!"

"Oh my goodness! Team Rocket!"

As more and more citizens of Lily of the Valley Island passed through the golden ring, the entire Arche Valley descended into chaos.

Because the situation was becoming increasingly uncontrollable, Sird had no choice but to squint and look towards Aaron, Bertha, and the others.

If it were the Kanto Elite Four, chances were they wouldn't bother with anything else. They'd simply unleash their Pokémon and attack Team Rocket's three beasts on sight.

However, although the Sinnoh Elite Four were less skilled in combat, they were undeniably calmer and more composed compared to Kanto.

The Ground-type Elite Four, Bertha, immediately stepped forward and shouted:

"Everyone, please calm down! This is a shelter prepared by the League for your safety. You are now safe here. Please remain calm, do not wander around, and leave everything to the League!"

Hearing these words, the panicked citizens of Lily of the Valley Island gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, the native residents of the Arche Valley, including Meray, began waking up one after another amidst the noise.

Seeing her home turned into a marketplace by this crowd, Meray was completely stunned.

"How long... how long did I sleep?"

"What's going on now?"

That golden ring—it was something belonging to Hoopa.

And Sird was standing there with Darkrai right beside Hoopa, which indicated that Team Rocket had forced Hoopa to do this.

"What do they want to achieve?"

Meray pursed her lips in contemplation for a moment before deciding to contact her brother Baraz.

While Meray was reaching out to her brother, Bertha and Aaron had already contacted the League's higher-ups in various regions.

...

Meanwhile, in the Dahara city, only about ten miles away from the Arche Valley...

The Fire-type Elite Four of the Kalos region, Malva, had just exited a cinema with Baraz.

"That movie was so romantic, Ms. Malva! Especially the ending, when the male protagonist dies, and decades later, the female protagonist, now old, still remembers him fondly—it was so touching!" Baraz exclaimed excitedly.

Malva forced a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Honestly, why did I have to watch a movie with this idiot just for Hoopa's sake?

And besides, Malva thought the movie's plot was utterly ridiculous. In the end, when the female lead was dying, her thoughts weren't about her current husband or her children, but about a drifter she had slept with on a ship decades ago. (Titanic reference.)

Unbelievable.

Just then, both of their phones rang almost simultaneously.

After listening to the voice on the other end of the line for just five seconds—Meray for Baraz and Lysandre for Malva—their expressions changed dramatically.

"The Sinnoh region has been attacked?! Hoopa has been captured by Team Rocket?!"

...

"Icicle Spear!"

Back at the scene on Lily of the Valley Island...

Standing atop his Delibird, Pryce raised his hand and pointed.

From Delibird's body, icy breath spread out like mist, rapidly covering the skies.

In less than two seconds, it coalesced into countless triangular icicles—like a frozen version of the Gate of Babylon.

In the next instant, the endless inverted icicles rained down like a storm.

"Return!"

Joker shouted abruptly.

Riding on Dark Moltres and Articuno, Karen and Will commanded their partners to dive and descend at high speed.

But the rain of icicles was faster than the two legendary birds, relentlessly pursuing them.

Just as the icicles were about to strike the tails of the two Pokémon—

"Shadow Storm!"

At Joker's command, the exclusive move of Shadow Lugia appeared.

The dark spiral shockwave swept out, obliterating the endless rain of icicles less than half a meter from the tails of the two Pokémon.

"Hey! Why haven't you left yet?!"

Karen noticed Cynthia and shouted.

Most of the citizens of Lily of the Valley Island had already been evacuated through Hoopa's golden rings.

The residents living on the island's outskirts, along with tourists, had also left via ships and cruises.

However, the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia, showed no intention of leaving.

Cynthia didn't respond. She simply fixed her gaze, through her golden bangs, on that distant silhouette with her sharp eyes.

Even if it meant dying, she was determined to unravel the questions that had plagued her for so long today.

Elsewhere, after a brief moment of hesitation, Dialga decided to lock onto Pryce as its target.

Although it didn't fully understand why that man with the black bird had joined the battle...

The ice-masked man's earlier disrespectful behavior toward it was unforgivable!

And since it was clear that the man's goal was to travel back in time, this was akin to dancing on the timekeeper's forbidden ground.

If it were an ordinary human saying such things, Dialga would've dismissed it as idle boasting and ignored them. But the human before it was truly capable of doing so.

Immense divine power erupted from the body of the Time Dragon.

Massive energy of deep blue, adorned with faint silver sparkles, rapidly condensed before the gaping maw.

The Power of Time!

Roar of Time!

In an instant, the heavens and earth froze as if suffocating. A devastating beam capable of twisting time itself was unleashed.

Roar of Time, the signature move of Dialga, the God of Time, was a force that none of the legendary Pokémon—save for his creator, Arceus—would dare to face head-on.

And yet, as this attack bore down on him, Pryce, with a sudden movement, pulled back his black cloak to reveal... a Swinub.

The tiny creature, whose entire body wasn't even as big as Dialga's open mouth, slightly parted its lips.

A flicker of contempt flashed in Dialga's eyes.

But in the next moment, a snow-white energy frantically gathered deep within Swinub's mouth and erupted into a ferocious blizzard.

Blizzard!

A storm of freezing, bone-chilling power collided head-on with the temporal shockwave.

The ensuing destructive force was beyond description. The space above Lily of the Valley Island twisted unnaturally, like a frozen frame in time.

"How is this possible!?"

Cynthia, Karen, and Will, their eyes widened in disbelief.

They were all aware of the Swinub's terrifying power as a cannon, capable of freezing Ho-Oh and its three guardians in an instant.

But Ho-Oh, despite its grace and strength, wasn't particularly adept in combat compared to other legendary Pokémon.

Dialga, on the other hand, was a first-tier legendary, a battle-hardened deity of time who had unleashed his full power. That Swinub was holding him off!?

"Is it Kyurem in disguise!?" Cynthia exclaimed with shock.

Even Dialga's eyes betrayed a moment of astonishment, mirroring the expressions of the spectators below.

But in the next instant, astonishment gave way to unbridled rage.

A being personally created by Arceus, the wielder of time itself, was being matched by this... insignificant creature!?

Fueled by indignation, Dialga pushed his power to the absolute limit.

A streak of blue light flashed at the point where the two attacks clashed.

The ground at the center of Lily of the Valley Island's now-flattened city sank several meters under immense pressure. Countless stones were catapulted into the air, only to be pulverized mid-flight by the sheer force of the next impact.

Roar of Time began to overpower Blizzard, pushing steadily toward Swinub.

"It seems Dialga's strength is still greater!"

Will couldn't help but smile.

Pryce's two trump cards defeating Ho-Oh was impressive enough. But, after all, Ho-Oh wasn't one of the strongest first-tier legendaries.

If Dialga, a battle-hardened deity, could also be overwhelmed in a one-on-one fight, it would be too absurd.

"Fool. Can't even tell the difference between a clone and the real thing?"

At that moment, Pryce's mocking voice, filtered through his mask, reached Dialga's ears.

Dialga, who had poured all his power into Roar of Time, raised an eyebrow as the attack closed in on Pryce and his Swinub.

Then, in the corner of his vision, Dialga spotted another masked figure riding on a Delibird, charging toward him.

This figure pulled back his cloak to reveal another Swinub.

Dialga's expression shifted drastically.

The words from earlier echoed in his mind—clone and real body.

Could it be? The opponent standing before him was merely a clone!?

Hesitating for just a moment, Dialga abruptly turned and redirected Roar of Time toward the masked figure on his left.

The devastating beam struck with precision, swallowing the masked figure, the Delibird beneath him, and the Swinub in his arms.

Only the masked figure's head remained, tumbling through the air.

But before it could hit the ground, it dissolved into ice shards, scattering in the wind.

"An ice clone!?"

Cynthia's face paled in realization.

Indeed, this was Pryce's signature technique—Ice Clone.

He frequently created ice clones to spar with his own Pokémon, and even elite Trainers struggled to distinguish his clones from the real him.

If Dialga had taken the time to sense carefully, he might have noticed the difference.

But in that fleeting moment, there hadn't been enough time for proper judgment.

Mistaking the ice clone for the real body, Dialga had shifted his attack, leaving himself vulnerable.

"This is the power of a top-tier Trainer aiding their Pokémon," Joker commented.

In the original tale, the Three Beasts—Entei, Raikou, and Suicune—had chosen Trainers like Lt. Surge, Blaine, and Misty as temporary partners to combat Pryce and rescue their master, Ho-Oh.

Even they knew that their strength alone wasn't enough to contend with this terrifying human; they needed Trainers worthy of their power to stand beside them.

"Double Blizzard!"

Seizing the brief opening, Pryce gave the order, unleashing simultaneous ice-type ultimate moves from his two trump cards.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, the entirety of Lily of the Valley Island was transformed into a frozen wasteland.

From the towns to the surrounding seas, as far as the eye could see, the world was blanketed in the icy whiteness of snow and frost.

You should know that in the game, the Plasma Team only used Kyurem to freeze Opelucid City in Unova.

However, with just two combined moves, Pryce not only froze an area equivalent to Opelucid City on Lily of the Valley Island but also froze the surrounding sea.

"Underestimating the impact of a master-level trainer on the battlefield, huh? But I can't let you defeat Dialga now."

Below, with Joker's command, Shadow Lugia's entire body radiated a dark aura, transforming into a dark phoenix.

"Shadow Charge!"

"Did you think I wouldn't be prepared for this?"

Pryce's disdainful voice rang out again.

In an instant, the Swinub in Pryce's arms stopped using Blizzard and redirected its power.

An ice wall appeared behind Pryce.

Boom—!

However, how could something like this possibly withstand Shadow Lugia's signature move?

Almost instantly upon collision, the ice wall—which could withstand an ordinary champion-level attack—was shattered into pieces.

But a half-second stall against Shadow Lugia was enough for Swinub to accomplish a lot.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

An even greater icy power erupted from Swinub's body. In just two seconds, a giant ice figure appeared. It was as tall as a Gundam, with the masked figure sitting in a recessed cockpit in its chest.

The ice giant crossed its arms in front of itself, fully blocking the Shadow Charge.

Shadow Lugia continued to crash into the ice giant repeatedly, while Swinub kept channeling more power into it.

"That thing... it can grow even bigger!?"

Will shouted in disbelief.

Because he saw that the ice giant, already over ten meters tall, was still expanding.

It was like evolving from a Susanoo in its matured form to its complete form!

"Oh, so that's how you're playing it."

Joker smirked.

In the original story, during Pryce's final battle with the protagonist's group, because Swinub—acting as the artillery—couldn't take on multiple opponents at once, Pryce created ice giants matching the number of the protagonist's group to fight them.

But when facing only one opponent, Swinub could naturally focus all its power on creating a much larger ice giant.

In the blink of an eye, the ice giant swelled to a height of over 30 meters, as colossal as a Dynamax Pokémon, and grabbed Shadow Lugia in its arms.

It slammed Shadow Lugia hard into the ground.

However, just before the impact—

Shadow Lugia opened its mouth again.

"Shadow Vortex!"

...

...

"How much longer until we reach Lily of the Valley Island!?"

On a small private jet bearing the Devon Corporation logo, Lance shouted impatiently with a dark expression.

"At our current speed, probably another fifteen minutes," Steven replied.

That's right, the people on this plane were the elite reinforcements sent by the Pokémon League to Lily of the Valley Island.

Since Hoenn was the closest region to Sinnoh, it was natural for them to arrive first.

Fortunately, due to the recent surge in Mega Evolution's popularity, many strong trainers from other regions had gathered in Hoenn to search for Key Stones and Mega Stones.

Among them was Lance.

So when they learned about the attack on Sinnoh, Steven and Wallace immediately brought Lance along.

"Champion Lance, no need to worry too much. Champion Cynthia just sent good news—Lily of the Valley Island's citizens have already been evacuated," Wallace said with a relieved smile to everyone on the plane.

"What?"

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly.

Steven also looked incredulous. "Evacuated? That fast?"

Honestly, after hearing the news that the masked man and Dialga were battling in the center of Lily of the Valley Island, Steven had already prepared himself for the possibility of tens of thousands, or even more, casualties.

Not to mention that Lily of the Valley Island has a population close to a million, and being located at sea, evacuation would certainly be far less convenient than for cities on land.

But now, they were hearing that the entire evacuation was already complete.

"According to Champion Cynthia, it seems Joker helped by opening three strange portals..."

Before Wallace could finish speaking, he received another update. After glancing at it, he exclaimed:

"Oh! Elite Four Bertha from Sinnoh just sent word—they've been teleported to Kalos, and it was done by a Pokémon called Hoopa."

"Hoopa?"

Everyone on the plane was stunned.

Even Lance, who had frowned upon hearing Joker's name, was intrigued.

They'd never heard that name before.

"Kalos Elite Four member Malva is heading over there, but the most important thing right now is what's happening on Lily of the Valley Island..."

Wallace had not finished speaking when Drake, who was sitting by the window, suddenly turned pale. "Hey! Look!"

Everyone heard him and quickly leaned toward the window to look outside.

In the next second, their eyes widened in utter shock.

What they saw below the plane was the ocean, seemingly split in two, with white on the left and blue on the right.

"Th-That's ice?"

Glacia, one of the Elite Four of Hoenn, was dumbfounded.

As an ice user herself, she could immediately tell how terrifying this scene was.

"The only person capable of doing this... is that man!"

Steven said in a deep voice.

Back during the Viridian incident, that man had used a single Delibird to suppress Ho-Oh. The only SSS-level wanted criminal in the Alliance: Masked Man!

"Hurry! Faster!"

Lance shouted toward the cockpit.

...

Meanwhile, in the Arche Valley in the Kalos region.

The atmosphere here was also tense.

After receiving the news, Malva, who had originally been in Dahara City, immediately returned to the Arche Valley with Baraz.

Flint and Lucian, who had been frozen into ice sculptures by Pryce, had recovered with Nurse Joy's help.

Now, the Sinnoh Elite Four were in a tense standoff with the Team Rocket Trio Beasts.

The situation was delicate. Neither side dared to make a move, especially since their leaders were absent.

When Malva arrived, her first reaction was to find Hoopa quickly.

After all, that little creature was the key to completing Team Flare's grand plan.

However, when she saw Hoopa being held by Sird's Darkrai, her heart sank.

This was trouble.

The League's S-rank wanted criminal, the owner of Darkrai, and one of Team Rocket's Trio Beasts—Sird.

It was said that her strength was on par with the peak of the Elite level. If she used Darkrai, Malva would have to give her all to snatch Hoopa back.

"The people from Lily of the Valley Island seem to have been moved here," said Orm, whose physique was more robust than many Fighting-type Pokémon.

"In that case, the King's orders have been fulfilled. Let's go," Sird said with a smile.

Hearing Sird's words, the tens of thousands of people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Many of them had already guessed that the ones who had moved them here were likely not the League but Team Rocket.

Still, regardless of the situation, Team Rocket remained the strongest criminal organization on the Pokémon continent.

They had no desire to stay near these monsters for long.

"This guy can't pass through its rings, right? How about giving it to me? I'll take it back in a helicopter," Carr said, pointing at Hoopa.

"What are you trying to do to Hoopa!?"

Meray could no longer sit back and immediately stepped forward to reprimand them.

"Don't you dare touch it!"

Bertha and Aaron, who had remained cautious earlier, suddenly became aggressive, summoning their Nidoking and Drapion. If the Trio Beasts showed any intention of taking Hoopa, they would not hesitate to fight!

After being transported to the Arche Valley, they had witnessed Hoopa's powers firsthand.

To say the least, the little creature seemed harmless.

But its abilities were extraordinary.

If Team Rocket got their hands on it... the Sinnoh Elite Four could not even begin to imagine the horrors they would unleash.

Even if it meant fighting here, they had to stop them!
