Chapter 101 — Demon Light Cannon

The Poké Ball is undoubtedly the greatest invention in the history of the Pokémon continent.

It has a very interesting system.

When thrown at a Pokémon without an owner, or rather a Pokémon that hasn't been caught by another Poké Ball yet,

Once it touches the target's body, the ball automatically opens, emitting a red light trying to capture it.

This is true even when facing legendary Pokémon.

However, if the target Pokémon has already been caught by another Poké Ball, and you throw a different Poké Ball at it,

It will create a rejection reaction, preventing the Poké Ball from opening and causing it to bounce back automatically.

And in the current situation, it's clear that Yveltal had already been caught by someone before Sun Wuming.

"How... how is this possible..."

Diantha felt she had been surprised more times today than in her previous twenty years combined.

The God of Destruction Yveltal, actually caught by someone?

No!

Rather, does the Kalos region really have a trainer powerful enough to capture Yveltal?

It should be noted that Diantha is the strongest trainer in the Kalos League.

And while she's proud, that doesn't mean she's foolish.

Diantha knows very well that she wouldn't be able to capture Yveltal.

Does this mean there are trainers in the Kalos region even stronger than her?

Sun Wuming also narrowed his eyes in surprise.

He too remembered that the entire Kalos League should only have Diantha at Champion level.

And she was only at mid-Champion level at that.

To capture a Tier 1 god, even one as low-ranked among Tier 1 gods as Yveltal,

You would need at least a high-Champion level trainer like Cynthia or Steven with their full team to have a chance.

"Could it be Steven?"

Marie suddenly suggested.

Right, wasn't that guy also in Kalos digging for stones?

But... given his personality, he shouldn't do something this reckless, right?

While everyone was confused,

Yveltal, struck by Zacian's sword, fell to the ground with a "thud."

"Well, no use thinking too much about it."

Sun Wuming said as he walked toward the fallen God of Destruction, adding:

"If we can't use a Poké Ball, we'll just have to do it the hard way."

Saying this, Sun Wuming grabbed Yveltal's huge tail.

He dragged it toward Geosenge Town as if pulling a dead dog.

"Eek! Eek! Eek!"

Yveltal, lying on the ground, struggled desperately.

Then, Sun Wuming kicked it, saying with disgust:

"Behave yourself!"

With a shoe print now on its face, Yveltal fell silent, only secretly watching Sun Wuming's profile, thinking to itself:

[Human, I'll remember you!]

After dragging Yveltal all the way to Geosenge Town,

Diantha's MEGA Gardevoir had already used psychic power to move nearly a thousand petrified townspeople to the central plaza.

"Teacher Wuming! Please have Yveltal restore my mother and the others quickly!"

Serena urged impatiently.

Sun Wuming's brow twitched.

Although cruel, in this situation, he could only tell this girl that Yveltal didn't have that ability.

However, at that very moment, Serena's terrified scream suddenly rang out:

"Teacher! Look out!"

Diantha also exclaimed: "On the right! On the right!"

Diancie also shouted via telepathy: [Wuming! It's coming toward you!]

Sun Wuming looked to the side and saw a flame-like red shadow passing through the town's houses, shooting toward him like an arrow.

Human eyes could barely make out what it was.

But Sun Wuming knew what it was.

Talonflame!

The final evolution of Fletchling, Kalos region's early-route bird.

Among the three women, only Marie remained calm.

Because she knew that such a thing couldn't possibly harm Sun Wuming.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Marie had predicted.

"Clearly coming for me..."

Sun Wuming thought to himself seeing this.

Then, Sun Wuming released his right hand holding Yveltal's tail, bringing his index and middle fingers together, placing their tips at the center of his forehead.

"Well then, let me show you the special move I'll be teaching you later, Marie."

Sun Wuming smiled.

Marie's eyes immediately showed anticipation, her already large eyes now opened as wide as bells watching Sun Wuming.

Afraid to miss even a microsecond.

Bzzt bzzt bzzt!

The fingertips Sun Wuming held to his brow emitted a sound like electricity.

And produced a rather dazzling golden energy wave.

In the next instant, Sun Wuming suddenly swung his hand, while stepping out with his right foot into a horse stance, pointing his raised two fingers toward the rapidly approaching Talonflame.

Instantly, a purple beam of destruction surrounded by spiral energy rings shot forth.

"Demon Light Cannon!!!"

The demon energy cannon that fired out pierced through that Talonflame's left chest without any resistance.

Then, before Diantha, Serena, and Diancie's incredulous gazes, it disappeared into the other side of town.

BOOM—RUMBLE!!!

More than half of Geosenge Town was destroyed in an instant.

Fortunately, Gardevoir had already moved the petrified townspeople to the plaza, otherwise who knows how many would have been affected.

The Talonflame with a hole blown through it fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

Sun Wuming turned to Marie and said:

"This is one of the killing techniques of the demon-style that I'll teach you and your Pokémon, the Demon Light Cannon."

"When you first start learning, you'll need a long time to gather power, similar to the principle of Solar Beam, but as your proficiency and strength increase, the charging time will become shorter and shorter, and the power will become stronger and stronger."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

Marie nodded vigorously.

"Teacher! Y-Yveltal!!!"

Serena suddenly called out in panic.

Sun Wuming turned to look and saw that in just those brief ten seconds,

Yveltal had used the move "Roost" to recover some health, then flew away from the town.

"Don't let it escape!"

Even knowing the vast difference in power, Serena still took out her Altaria's Poké Ball, trying to stop Yveltal.

"Let it go."

Sun Wuming waved his hand dismissively.

"Teacher?"

Serena immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

"Yveltal can't revive those whose life force it has absorbed, so there's no use catching it."

Sun Wuming spoke truthfully:

"Besides, now that we know someone else has caught it, letting this one go might help us cast a long line to catch bigger fish."

"But, but what about my mother and the others..."

Serena spoke with a hint of tears in her voice.

"Don't worry, while Yveltal can't help, Xerneas can handle it. Yveltal is injured, it will definitely come out again to absorb life energy."

Sun Wuming patted Serena's shoulder, "When that happens, Xerneas will appear too, and we can have it help revive the townspeople, just like it has for hundreds and thousands of years."

Every time Yveltal emerges, it goes crazy, frantically absorbing life.

And Xerneas's duty is to clean up after it, coming to beat Yveltal half to death, then sharing its own life force with those poor people who had their life force stolen.

Afterward, both enter their Cocoon of Destruction and Tree of Life forms to sleep.

Then after years, decades, or centuries,

They awaken again, repeating this process.

This time would be no exception.

[Serena, don't worry, Lord Xerneas will surely find a way]

Diancie also consoled.

After hearing both Sun Wuming and Diancie say this, Serena finally calmed down somewhat, nodding with tears in her eyes.

At this time, Marie noticed something odd about Diantha's expression and couldn't help asking:

"Champion Diantha, what's wrong?"

Sun Wuming and Serena turned to look, seeing Diantha standing there frozen as if she had received some massive psychological shock.

"No, I'm, I'm fine."

After several seconds, Diantha finally came back to her senses, forcing a smile.

She gave Gardevoir a look, and it gently picked up the Talonflame with the chest hole blown through by Sun Wuming, trying to heal it with Heal Pulse.

It was no use, with its chest pierced by the Demon Light Cannon, it couldn't be saved.

Unless Ho-Oh were to come.

Diantha added:

"I'll contact the League immediately to have them send people to protect the town."

"Do you know this one?"

Sun Wuming pointed at the Talonflame being held by Gardevoir and asked Diantha.

"No, no I don't!"

Diantha visibly shuddered, repeatedly denying:

"Aren't you, aren't you still looking for Xerneas? Then hurry and go! I'll, I'll take care of things here!"

Under Marie and Serena's strange looks, Diantha called the Kalos League higher-ups.

Just as she said, led by Kalos Elite Four member Siebold, a large group of League personnel quickly arrived and completely cordoned off and protected Geosenge Town.

"Let's go then, we'll leave this to them."

Sun Wuming said.

Hearing Sun Wuming's words, Serena and Marie still couldn't help casting suspicious glances at Diantha.

But they finally followed Sun Wuming and left together.

"Teacher, it feels like Miss Diantha is hiding something from us."

Serena walked beside Sun Wuming, speculating.

"Remove the words 'it feels like,' she definitely is hiding something."

Sun Wuming said with certainty.

"Then why don't you ask her?"

Marie asked, puzzled.

Serena also showed a confused expression.

"A mid-Champion level person, even if they're hiding something, how important could it be? In any case, when Yveltal causes trouble again and Xerneas appears, we'll bring it here to help revive Serena's mom and that'll be mission accomplished."

Sun Wuming said with complete calm.

He didn't care at all what Diantha was hiding from him.

After all, it couldn't be anything too important.

Serena blinked, Se, Serena?

Was he calling her that?

...

...

"This is too extreme."

In Geosenge Town, Water-type Elite Four member Siebold couldn't help but shudder seeing this scene, asking Diantha:

"Can you explain what exactly happened?"

But Diantha didn't answer Siebold's question, her beautiful face darkened to the extreme as she asked one word at a time:

"Where is Pachira?"
