Chapter 120 — Never Challenge the Son Family to a Beam Struggle

The earth-shattering ultimate technique of the Turtle School gathered between his two palms.

Even Hoopa Unbound, who was about to summon the Space-Time Duo, was startled.

This overwhelming pressure was on a completely different level from before.

Damned human!

Is this his true power?!

Far away in Wyndon City, Galar.

After losing her position as the Stow-on-Side Gym Leader, Bea, now one of the Elite Four, had moved to Wyndon where the League headquarters was located.

Today, as always, she was training - not just her Pokémon, but herself as well.

At this moment, wearing the same Turtle School gi as Sun Wuming, Bea took a horse stance and drew in a deep breath.

Just then, her fellow Elite Four members Oleana, Raihan, and Allister, along with Champion Leon, arrived.

Rose had called them for a meeting to discuss something important.

Since Bea's new place was on the way, they decided to stop by and get her.

That's when they happened to witness this scene.

They watched as Bea, in her horse stance, stepped forward with her left foot, cupping her hands at her right side like flower petals.

"Ka!"

"Me!"

"Ha!"

As Bea shouted these syllables, a brilliant white light began to burst forth between her palms.

"What in the world is that?!"

Raihan's eyes nearly popped out of his head, and the others weren't much different.

"Me!"

When Bea shouted the final syllable, she thrust both hands forward.

Unfortunately, the ball of light didn't transform into the beam she had imagined.

Instead, it exploded midway.

"Still not good enough..."

Bea muttered dejectedly to herself, then clenched her teeth with determination:

"Before I meet Master again, I'll definitely master this technique!"

That's right, before Sun Wuming left, he had taught Bea the basic methods of ki manipulation.

And Bea's wish was to perfect this technique before reuniting with Sun Wuming, to give him a surprise.

"Can you do that too?"

Leon couldn't help but turn to ask Oleana.

After all, they were both Sun Wuming's students.

"Don't be ridiculous."

Oleana rolled her eyes.

How could she compare herself to someone like Bea?

After all, even before becoming Sun Wuming's disciple, this girl could already trade punches with Fighting-type Pokémon!

Allister frowned while rubbing his chin, worried about what Sun Wuming might be teaching his precious sister.

"This ki...?!"

Suddenly, Bea's expression changed drastically, and the others looked confused at her reaction.

They heard Bea stare anxiously toward the Kalos region and mutter:

"Master's ki? How did it suddenly expand to such a level? Did he encounter a powerful opponent?"

...

...

In the waters between Kalos and Alola.

All creation seemed to lose its color in this moment, the winds ceased their howling, and the red-and-blue energy became the only color left in the world.

The Space-Time Duo, who had just poked their heads out of the dimensional rings like Groudon and Kyogre before them, hadn't yet fallen under Hoopa Unbound's control.

Suddenly, they felt a pain in their foreheads as if their heads were about to be separated from their bodies.

Indeed, in this moment, they truly felt like their heads were about to fall off their necks!

Then, these two deities met the same fate as the Sea and Land Duo before them.

They were pushed back - or rather, blasted back - to their lairs by the Kamehameha.

In the chaotic Time and Space rifts.

The two dragons, their faces pixelated from the blast, endured the intense pain while looking utterly bewildered.

Looking ahead, they saw the mysterious golden rings suddenly vanish without a trace.

What the hell?!

Dialga and Palkia, who had been maintaining the space-time balance of the Pokémon world while taking a nice nap in their rifts, were completely confused.

The two dragons kept sucking in cold air through their teeth.

Damn, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!

Who did this?!

The light from earlier had been too bright for them to see clearly before they were blasted back into the space-time rifts.

Damn it, we'll remember this!

The Space-Time Duo cursed internally.

Then, fighting through the pain, they retreated home to continue their nap and recover.

...

...

"Huff... huff..."

Meanwhile, Sun Wuming was also taking several deep breaths.

Looking at the now-vanished Space-Time Duo, he internally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the concern in Sun Wuming's eyes hadn't diminished much as he turned to look at Palkia, who along with Hoopa Unbound had him surrounded.

Dialga, who maintained the balance of time.

Palkia, who maintained the balance of space.

And Giratina, who maintained the balance of the Reverse World.

These three could be called the most important pillars maintaining the basic balance of this Pokémon world.

No exaggeration, in the original movie, when the battle of the gods caused the world's balance to collapse, these three were responsible for at least 50% of the mess.

Dialga and Palkia had already been sent back.

With only Giratina remaining, the world shouldn't collapse... right?

"Well, no use thinking about that now."

Sun Wuming narrowed his eyes and looked up at the two ominous legendary Pokémon:

"I'm not in the mood to enjoy this battle anymore. I'm going to use my full power to finish you two as quickly as possible. Are you ready?"

Hoopa Unbound roared in response.

Six massive golden rings silently appeared around Sun Wuming, covering all angles - front, back, left, right, above, and below.

Six giant fists wreathed in dark energy struck out heavily.

Hyperspace Fury!!!

"This kind of attack won't work on me anymore!"

Sun Wuming shouted as his right fist met the attack.

Terrifying shockwaves rippled through the air, raising tsunami-like waves dozens of meters high.

After just a second of struggle, Hoopa Unbound's face twisted in extreme pain.

Its fist was forcefully knocked back.

But five more fists continued their assault on Sun Wuming.

Sun Wuming countered with his left elbow, kicked with his right foot, and successfully repelled three more arms.

Using the Sky Dance technique to fly high, he faced the remaining two pursuing fists.

Sun Wuming's gaze sharpened, and after spinning once in midair, he charged back, spread his arms, and caught one of the large hands in his embrace, wielding it like a great sword to slash at the pursuing arms.

All six arms transmitted excruciating pain, and Hoopa Unbound in the air nearly lost consciousness from the agony.

An extremely bizarre ki surged toward Sun Wuming's heart, that energy flickering in and out, as if occasionally jumping to another world.

Just as he felt that energy disappear again, suddenly, a huge ghostly dragon head emerged above him.

Origin Forme Giratina!

It was using its signature move, Shadow Force!

The moment Origin Forme Giratina's head emerged, Sun Wuming faintly sensed its ki and raised his hands to counter.

But Giratina's head, exploding with dark energy, had already crashed down heavily.

Giratina, able to freely travel between the real world and the Reverse World, could naturally prevent Sun Wuming in the real world from sensing its ki.

In this aspect, it was even more troublesome than Hoopa Unbound.

Under Giratina's Shadow Force sneak attack, Sun Wuming's body sank heavily.

But thanks to the Kaio-ken x10, he wasn't knocked into the sea, instead gritting his teeth and enduring.

As expected of someone who could make the Space-Time Duo cry out in pain with his own power?

Truly strong indeed.

"But while you're strong, I'm not weak either!"

Sun Wuming's left hand struggled to support Giratina's neck pressing down on him, while his right palm faced upward, bursting with brilliant light, exploding into golden radiance that struck Giratina's heart at point-blank range.

"Groooh—"

Giratina cried out in pain, its body briefly losing balance in midair.

Sun Wuming had originally planned to fire another blast.

But Origin Forme Giratina was like a slippery loach - before he could take his next action, it had already slipped back into the Reverse World.

Making Sun Wuming's second energy wave miss completely.

At this moment, Hoopa Unbound's six arms attacked - the left three exploding with Fire Punch, the right three with Ice Punch!

Sun Wuming immediately spun his body, his arms becoming afterimages as he traded blows with Hoopa Unbound's six hands.

If one of them had been shouting "ORA ORA" and the other "MUDA MUDA," the sense of déjà vu would have been even stronger.

"Groooh~~"

The recovered Giratina once again moved like a ghost, shifting between the real world and the Reverse World.

Making it difficult for Sun Wuming to determine its exact location.

Suddenly, Giratina poked its head out again.

A Dragon Pulse many times stronger than Reshiram's blasted forth.

This attack's coverage was so wide it could have engulfed both Sun Wuming and Hoopa Unbound.

However, one of the giant golden rings, as if possessing its own consciousness, flew above Hoopa Unbound's head and absorbed its huge body, instantly transferring the behemoth half a mile away.

Leaving the Dragon Pulse to hit only Sun Wuming.

Well well, in some ways, these two space-time manipulators really were the perfect partners.

Sun Wuming crossed his arms in front of him for protection.

The Dragon Pulse swept across his body.

In the thick draconic energy, half of Sun Wuming's Turtle School gi was burned away, revealing the deep blue undershirt beneath.

Suddenly, Sun Wuming's body erupted with crimson energy, his gaze locked firmly on Giratina, who was still firing Dragon Pulse.

No matter what, while you're using your ultimate move, you can't escape to the Reverse World, right?!

The erupting red light formed an energy barrier protecting Sun Wuming.

In the next instant, he charged toward Giratina while enduring the Dragon Pulse.

Even under Hoopa Unbound's control, Giratina's eyes grew huge.

No way? You can still come at me like this?!

"Let me tell you something! Ghost Dragon!"

Sun Wuming shouted:

"Saiyans grow stronger in the face of death!!!"

In the face of this terrifying speed, Giratina seemed to see a giant ape with bloody jaws materializing behind Sun Wuming, lunging to bite it.

Maybe I should retreat to the Reverse World for a bit?

Giratina thought about repeating its earlier move, planning to slip into the other world to temporarily avoid this crisis.

"NO RUNNING!!!"

Sun Wuming pushed his power to the limit.

"KAIO-KEN TIMES TWENTY!!!!!!"

Due to their massive size difference, Sun Wuming's punch landing on Giratina's abdomen was like a bullet piercing the ghost dragon's heart.

The unimaginable pain shooting through its abdomen almost freed Giratina from Hoopa Unbound's control through sheer soul-piercing agony.

But before Giratina could be sent flying.

Sun Wuming grabbed its neck and violently threw it toward Hoopa Unbound.

The two behemoths crashed into each other, seeing stars.

"KA! ME! HA! ME! HAAAAA!!!"

This wasn't the first time they'd seen Sun Wuming take this stance.

Just hearing this shout, Hoopa Unbound, who had been seeing stars moments ago, instantly sobered up like a drunk who'd been doused with cold water.

Looking ahead, Sun Wuming's palms seemed to have gathered a sun between them, turning the entire world blue.

Hyperspace Fury!!!

Hoopa Unbound had no time for anything else, its six arms wreathed in dark energy shot out like rockets.

Draco Meteor!!!

If it had been in its right mind, Giratina would have almost certainly retreated to the Reverse World to avoid this crisis.

But under Hoopa Unbound's control, it could only foolishly join in countering Sun Wuming's attack.

However, they didn't know one rule—

Never challenge the Son family to a beam struggle.
