Legendary Pokémon are also known as gods, and almost all high-level Legendary Pokémon possess power that can dominate the world!
Lugia, whose wings can stir up a storm lasting three days and three nights; Ho-Oh, with the ability to resurrect the dead; Primal Kyogre, which can flood the world and turn it into an endless ocean if left unchecked; the Sinnoh trio, who control time, space, and antimatter—these are just a few examples.
Legendary Pokémon are always the most precious treasures in the eyes of those with ambition!
No one does not crave the power of Legendary Pokémon, but their whereabouts are far too elusive, and their might is not something ordinary humans can hope to harness.
However, if one can obtain a Legendary Pokémon, they will truly stand at the pinnacle of the world!
"A mere Entei is nothing compared to Eternatus."
With Rhyperior returned to its Poké Ball, Ryuu Shiro twirled a Poké Ball in his hand, his crimson eyes gleaming with fervor as he advanced deeper into the Energy Plant.
Born into the Dragon Clan, Ryuu Shiro was a natural prodigy, gifted with the Dragon's Power!
He could sense the presence of dragons!
He could feel it—deep within the Energy Plant, an immensely powerful dragon lay dormant, yearning to break free from its prison.
As a top-tier Legendary Pokémon, it was only natural for it to be discontent with being restrained by humans.
"Don't worry, just wait a little longer. I'm coming~"
…
"Huh? What's this?"
In the control room of the Energy Plant, a worker glanced at the monitor and froze.
A young man in a fitted white robe had somehow appeared inside the Energy Plant, boldly making his way toward the "warehouse"!
And…
As if noticing the surveillance, the young man looked up at the camera and flashed a sinister smile?
A smile?
Was this a provocation? It had to be a provocation, right?
"Intruder alert! Attention! An intruder has entered Zone B!"
The worker reacted swiftly, pressing the alarm and contacting the security personnel in the Energy Plant.
Damn it, these guards are useless. How could they not notice someone walking in like this?
"Oh? Finally noticed me, huh?"
Following the dragon's aura, Ryuu Shiro raised an eyebrow as he saw several guards rushing toward him.
He wasn't surprised. He had never intended to hide his presence in the first place.
Sneak in?
There was no need for that, because…
"Stop! Who are you?"
The lead guard brandished a baton and released a Sirfetch'd, demanding an answer from Ryuu Shiro.
Their security measures were tight, and no one should have been able to enter unnoticed. How had this person appeared here?
"Just a bunch of trash."
Ryuu Shiro tilted his head back, baring his teeth in a grin that looked particularly menacing under the bright lights.
"Tyranitar, Hyper Beam."
He casually tossed the Poké Ball in his hand and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
"Roar!"
A flash of white light, and a massive, ferocious beast landed heavily on the ground. A destructive black beam shot from Tyranitar's mouth.
"Sirfetch'd, Protect!"
The three guards' pupils contracted, a chilling sense of danger overwhelming them.
This guy had attacked them without a second thought!
They were elites, sent to guard the Energy Plant, which was why the lead guard had immediately released Sirfetch'd upon encountering Ryuu Shiro.
But he never expected the intruder to be so ruthless!
And this Tyranitar was far stronger than he had imagined!
Sirfetch'd raised its leek-like spear, a green light flashing as it prepared to use Protect, a move that could block any attack.
But before the Protect could fully activate, the Hyper Beam struck.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted as the Hyper Beam detonated, the shockwave sending the three guards flying and slamming them to the ground.
As for Sirfetch'd? It was already unconscious, covered in wounds.
"So weak. Why don't you find a safer job instead of standing in my way? Don't bother getting up."
Glancing at the guards struggling to lift their heads, Ryuu Shiro smirked and delivered a cold, mocking remark before stepping over them.
"Damn it!"
Humiliated, the guards gritted their teeth, glaring at the intruder's retreating figure with resentment.
Their pride as humans told them they were being insulted and mocked, and they couldn't let this guy get away so easily!
But their severely injured bodies told them they couldn't even stand up anymore…
Though Tyranitar's Hyper Beam hadn't hit them directly, they were only human, not Pokémon. Their injuries were already severe.
"What's going on?"
Deep within the Energy Plant, a tall, mature woman with a commanding presence frowned and asked a nearby worker.
Her golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, and she wore a white coat over a red professional dress with black-gray stockings.
This was Oleana, the secretary of Galar's League Chairman Rose and the vice president of Rose's company!
She was a pivotal figure in the Galar League, both in the league itself and in the region's business world.
"Apologies, someone has broken into the Energy Plant. But rest assured, we'll handle it soon."
A worker in a white lab coat quickly bowed and reported to Oleana. Though Oleana appeared cold, mature, and composed, those who knew her understood she had a short temper.
As Rose's right-hand woman, Oleana was highly capable, which was why most of Rose's affairs were delegated to her.
The immense pressure from her workload had left her mentally strained, making her prone to outbursts, though she quickly regained her composure.
"Handle it soon? Then can you explain who that is?"
Oleana's expression darkened as she coldly glanced at the worker, pointing at the white-robed young man outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
What a bunch of incompetents, letting someone break in this far.
No matter what, they had to protect Chairman Rose's secret. The plan hadn't even begun yet—Eternatus must not be exposed!
That's right, this Energy Plant belonged to Rose!
The seemingly perfect chairman of the Galar League had secretly sealed and "raised" Eternatus, the very being that had nearly destroyed the entire Galar region!
"It's here, Eternatus~"
Outside a massive room, Ryuu Shiro's handsome face was filled with an irrepressible smile, his crimson eyes burning with anticipation as he gazed at the room ahead.
He could feel it—Eternatus was inside!
"Tyranitar, shatter these shackles."
Taking a few steps back, Ryuu Shiro gave the order to the Tyranitar beside him without hesitation.
The most powerful and evil legendary Pokémon of the Galar region would be unleashed by his own hands!
"Tyra~!"
Tyranitar roared, its mouth once again gathering destructive black energy.
"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"
At that moment, a woman's voice, laced with suppressed anger, rang out.
A massive column of water shot toward Tyranitar at high speed.
"So, you've come to interfere after all."
Ryuu Shiro's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned to look in the direction of the voice. It was Oleana, standing in front of a Milotic as beautiful as a water serpent.
He had noticed Oleana earlier when he was walking in. This woman was quite famous in the Galar region, and Ryuu Shiro certainly knew who she was.
Tyranitar naturally noticed the Hydro Pump and turned its head, the Hyper Beam in its mouth now aimed at the incoming attack.
The Hydro Pump and Hyper Beam collided violently, but to Oleana's dismay, after a brief struggle, the Hyper Beam overpowered the Hydro Pump!
And it continued to push the water attack back!
"Protect!"
Milotic, clearly well-trained, instantly formed a green protective barrier, blocking the Hyper Beam.
The explosion echoed, and dust filled the air.
When the dust settled, Milotic, slightly panting, came into Ryuu Shiro's view. Behind Milotic, Oleana's beautiful face was now tinged with frustration.
"I must admit, I didn't expect the renowned workaholic Miss Oleana to be such a skilled Trainer."
Ryuu Shiro raised an eyebrow, his eyes shamelessly roaming over Oleana's figure. Though his words were complimentary, his tone and demeanor were deliberately provocative, giving off a flippant vibe.
"Who are you? And why have you broken into this factory?"
Oleana forced herself to calm down, though Ryuu Shiro's gaze was infuriating!
His eyes kept wandering over her chest and legs. Damn it, ever since she became Rose's secretary, no one had dared to look at her so disrespectfully!
But Oleana knew she had to stay composed. Though their encounter had been brief, she already understood that this young man, who didn't look very old, was absurdly strong!
The Tyranitar line was praised as pseudo-legendary Pokémon, and ordinary people couldn't possibly own one, especially one of such high caliber.
Though she knew the intruder was dangerous, the meticulous Oleana realized she needed to remain calm.
"Pure White. It's a pleasure to meet the beautiful Miss Oleana."
Ryuu Shiro gave Oleana a gentlemanly bow, introducing himself with a smile.
Though he was arrogant and self-assured, Ryuu Shiro still had the manners befitting someone from the prestigious Dragon Clan.
"White?"
Oleana frowned deeply. "Pure White" but she had never heard of this name.
A Trainer this powerful shouldn't be unknown. Or perhaps this was just a pseudonym?
"Perhaps Miss Oleana doesn't know me, but that's alright. This, however, you might recognize."
Ryuu Shiro grinned, tossing something toward Oleana.
He wasn't in a hurry. Eternatus was right within his grasp, so he could afford to take his time. He knew Oleana had likely called for reinforcements, but so what?
They were just a bunch of small fry.
Oleana caught the small object Ryuu Shiro had thrown. It was a silver badge, very simple, with a capital "R" on it.
Her mind raced, and she quickly recalled the meaning of this letter.
"Team Rocket!"
Oleana's expression shifted. Though Galar was far from Kanto, as someone who handled most of Rose's affairs, she remembered.
The evil organization that loomed over Kanto's underworld—Team Rocket!
"Miss Oleana is indeed well-informed. Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am White, a high-ranking executive of Team Rocket."
Ryuu Shiro's smile widened. Even if she wasn't deeply familiar with it, someone like Oleana would naturally keep tabs on information from other regions.
And the massive evil organization that now dominated Kanto's underworld, Team Rocket, was certainly within her knowledge.
Why had he joined Team Rocket? For moments like this, of course!
"…Team Rocket has already set its sights on the Galar region? How arrogant."
Oleana took a deep breath, her sharp eyes fixed on Ryuu Shiro as she spoke in a low voice.
Team Rocket, an evil organization that had grown to dominate Kanto in just over a decade, was no small threat.
But Oleana had never expected this person to be from Team Rocket, especially since Kanto and Galar were separated by an ocean!
Moreover, the Kanto League was Team Rocket's main enemy. How could they dare to provoke the Galar League now?
How utterly absurd!
"Chairman Rose is away in the Kalos region for discussions, and Champion Leon is deep in the Crown Tundra for training, temporarily unreachable. Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"
Ryuu Shiro chuckled, his relaxed tone and demeanor reflecting his current ease.
Yes, he had chosen this time, when both Rose and Leon were absent, to boldly invade the Energy Plant!
In the entire Galar region, the only person who could make Ryuu Shiro take things seriously was Leon.
As for Raihan?
Sorry, but Ryuu Shiro didn't even consider him a threat.
