Chapter 114 — A Shut-in and a Psychopath

"Hoopa is the true Hoopa!"

Unbound Hoopa roared these words in burning rage.

The blazing flames completely enveloped one side like a rocket launcher firing toward Sun Wuming.

Because Unbound Hoopa's six arms weren't actually connected to its body, it could perform such feats.

Looking at the blazing fist descending like a meteor, Meray couldn't even focus on the pain of losing her brother.

She instinctively held Confined Hoopa and Luca in her arms, protecting them behind her.

Sun Wuming stepped forward and countered with an uppercut.

Whoosh—swoosh!

The intense flames, impacted by the explosive force of the fist, transformed into red waves that scattered in all directions, spreading to every corner of the village.

In an instant, this village that hadn't seen any conflict for a hundred years turned into a sea of fire.

"So cool!"

Confined Hoopa gaped in amazement at Sun Wuming's silhouette above, which seemed divine against the backdrop of flames.

The Flare Squad, led by Lysandre, was equally stunned.

First catching that Shadow Ball that looked like a black sun, then meeting Unbound Hoopa's flame fist.

Is he even human?

"Save the flattery until after this mess is over."

Sun Wuming half-turned his head, glancing at Unbound Hoopa from the corner of his eye:

"First, let's evacuate the innocent villagers, as far away as possible."

"Hoopa understands!"

Confined Hoopa nodded vigorously, taking off all three of its rings and using their power to make them as large as doorways.

Confined Hoopa waved its tiny hands frantically, calling out to the villagers:

"Everyone! Come quickly! Come quickly!"

"Hoopa, what about you?"

Meray struggled to carry Barza's body as she asked Confined Hoopa with deep concern.

Having grown up with Confined Hoopa since childhood, she could tell at a glance that Hoopa didn't plan to leave with her.

This cute little creature planned to face its other half.

"No problem, Hoopa is super strong!"

Confined Hoopa patted its little chest, saying its catchphrase.

Usually, Meray might have smiled at this, but now she couldn't bring herself to.

Having spent so many years together, how could she not know that Confined Hoopa was terribly weak in battle?

"I'll watch over this little one, you'll just get in the way if you stay here."

Sun Wuming said with his back to Meray.

"I... I understand,"

Hearing Sun Wuming's blunt words, Meray didn't get angry but nodded in understanding.

Before leaving, Meray shot a hateful glare at Lysandre and his group.

After gritting her teeth, she carried Alza's body, held Luca's hand with her other hand, and walked toward the golden ring with the other villagers.

"No escape!"

Seeing Meray about to pass through the ring, Unbound Hoopa's rage increased another level.

Six enormous rings completely surrounded Sun Wuming and Confined Hoopa from all six directions - front, back, left, right, up, and down.

In the next instant, six massive fists wrapped in dark energy shot out with mountain-crushing destructive power.

This was Unbound Hoopa's signature move, Hyperspace Fury!

"Eek!"

Confined Hoopa, who had just been bragging about being strong, covered its eyes with its tiny hands at the sight.

If I can't see it, it can't hit me.

"Triple Kaio-ken!"

Sun Wuming's body instantly erupted in red light, his already impressive muscles bulging even more dramatically, seeming ready to burst through his Turtle School uniform, veins popping out on his skin as if about to explode.

Sun Wuming first threw a straight punch to meet the meteor fist coming from the front.

In the blink of an eye, his right foot swept out in a kick to deflect the fist on the right side.

Then, with the power of flight, he raised his palm to face the fist above.

He instantly grabbed the giant arm that was three times his size and slammed it down like swinging a great sword.

The impact sent the fists from the left and rear flying as well.

"Wuming! Save me! Save me!"

At this moment, Confined Hoopa cried out loudly.

Looking over, the last hand from below had grabbed Confined Hoopa and was flying back to Unbound Hoopa's side.

"To think humans could have such beings..."

Even Unbound Hoopa couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. Although its six arms weren't connected to its body,

the nerves were still properly connected.

Sun Wuming's punch just now almost made Unbound Hoopa cry out in pain.

"However, now I'll deal with you first!"

Unbound Hoopa grinned maliciously at the captured Confined Hoopa, opening its huge mouth the next second, clearly intending to swallow the little thing.

"One Hoopa is enough!"

Unbound Hoopa laughed maniacally.

"No! No!"

Confined Hoopa screamed in terror.

"Quadruple Kaio-ken!"

The red light around Sun Wuming's body became even more dazzling in an instant, and as he shouted these words, his body vanished from its spot.

Bang!!!

A spine-chilling impact sound rang out.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw Sun Wuming, his body blazing with red light, had appeared in front of Unbound Hoopa, his right elbow deeply embedded in its abdomen.

His arm was buried halfway in, showing just how heavy the strike was.

With the overwhelming force and pain radiating from its abdomen, Unbound Hoopa's mouth remained open, but its eyes had rolled back.

This showed just what terrible pain it was enduring.

Whoosh—Boom!!!

In the next instant, Unbound Hoopa's massive body went flying, crashing heavily into the checkpoint of Desert City ten miles away.

The entire checkpoint was shattered like tofu, the ground collapsed, and tourists about to enter the city screamed in terror, fleeing in the opposite direction as they saw Unbound Hoopa struggling to get up.

"What's going on!?"

The only tourist who didn't run away was Steven, dressed in hiking gear.

That's right, he had been digging for stones all over the Kalos region during this time, and his digging had brought him to this city.

He had been thinking he could finally sleep in a hotel tonight instead of camping outdoors, but then this happened.

Back in the completely destroyed Valley of Creation, Sun Wuming, who had sent Unbound Hoopa flying, reached out and grabbed Confined Hoopa by the scruff of its neck with one hand.

This scene felt strangely familiar.

"So cool! So cool!"

Confined Hoopa clapped repeatedly, looking up in admiration:

"You actually sent that big meanie flying!"

Sun Wuming was speechless - that was you, you silly thing.

But thinking about it, that wasn't quite right.

After all, having lived a peaceful life for a hundred years, Confined Hoopa had completely become a shut-in.

Meanwhile, Unbound Hoopa, after being sealed for a hundred years, had thoroughly transformed into a psychopath.

They were complete opposites.

Sun Wuming casually tossed Confined Hoopa into Marie's arms...

"Take care of this one."

"And don't let it carelessly summon legendaries."

After saying this, Sun Wuming prepared to use his flight technique to pursue Unbound Hoopa.

"Wuming!"

At this moment, Korrina called out loudly:

"Desert City... has nearly a million innocent citizens."

Sun Wuming paused, then nodded and flew toward Desert City.

"Xerneas, are you alright?"

While Marie held Confined Hoopa, Serena quickly ran to check on Xerneas.

This was a matter of life and death for her petrified mother.

"Xer~"

Xerneas twisted its neck and stood up from the ground.

Fortunately, it had only been forcibly pulled over by Unbound Hoopa and wasn't seriously injured.

Having barely recovered, Xerneas looked at Yveltal with hostile eyes.

This one was harming living beings again?

"We can settle our score now, Pachira, Lysandre."

Korrina said with a cold smile.

The reason for her previous failure was because of Yveltal.

But this time was different - Xerneas was definitely on their side.

This alone was enough to keep Yveltal in check.

Furthermore, although Pachira had been stronger than her before, the beatings she'd taken during these months of traveling with Sun Wuming weren't for nothing.

She was confident she wouldn't repeat her previous mistakes!

Of course, that was against Pachira without Yveltal.

"Hahaha! Heaven is truly on my side!"

At this moment, Lysandre, who usually maintained a shrewd demeanor, laughed skyward as if possessed by Light Yagami.

"Both that terrifying demon Unbound Hoopa and that monster Sun Wuming aren't here! There couldn't be a better situation - now I just need to capture Xerneas, and my long-held wish can be fulfilled!"

Hearing Lysandre's declaration, Korrina mocked coldly:

"Still dreaming? Criminal Lysandre,"

"Are you really so arrogant to think you can capture Xerneas now?"

Lysandre raised his head and retorted: "You're the arrogant one! Korrina!"

As his words fell, Lysandre gave Xerosic a look, "No need to hold back anymore, bring out the 1.6!"

"Yes!"

Xerosic took out a safe from behind him and quickly opened it.

Inside was a transparent cylindrical device containing a strange Pokémon that looked like a slug with a blue chip-like object embedded in its abdomen, lying there in obvious pain.

"What Pokémon is that?"

Marie, Serena, and Korrina all froze.

"Do it!"

Lysandre commanded.

Xerosic pressed a button on his controller with a sinister smile.

Blinding red light burst forth from the device.

The slug, which already looked uncomfortable, was now tortured almost to the point of breakdown, its eyes rolling back.

Pain! Such pain!

"Humans! Cursed humans!"

"Truly the most foolish creatures in this world!"

As its anger burned to the extreme, it lost control of both its reason and its body.

Confined Hoopa, being held by Marie, cried out in shock:

"Zygarde has lost its mind!"

Confined Hoopa still had its memories - unlike Yveltal, this little troublemaker, Zygarde was one of the few legendary Pokémon that could match its power a hundred years ago.

Of course, that was in its Perfect Form.
