Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

The light faded, but the situation in the air made Zhang Yu's heart sink.

Solgaleo and Lunala were surprisingly not defeated, though they looked to be in very poor condition.

On the other hand, their all-out attack just now had greatly depleted the resources of the Tyrant Flower and its companions, making it unlikely they could launch an immediate attack.

"Please, Kaguya Tekka!"

Although his opponent hadn't been defeated, Zhang Yu wasn't afraid, because Tetsuka Kaguya was still in good condition. With just a short rest, he could launch a counterattack again.

However, soon, a situation that shocked everyone occurred.

The black energy surrounding Solgaleo and Lunala seemed to possess a life of its own, continuously absorbing the black energy of heaven and earth to grow stronger.

At the same time, their condition is rapidly recovering.

This situation completely shattered Zhang Yu's hopes; such a rapid recovery was simply not enough for him to organize another attack.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he saw Ah Yun move.

"It seems that's the only way..."

Dragging his weary body, a resolute glint flashed in Ayun's eyes. He seemed to have made up his mind, and with a mixture of reluctance and relief, he slowly flew towards Solgaleo and Lunala.

"Ah Yun... what are you going to do?"

Zhang Yu looked ahead with suspicion and uncertainty.

The crowd below also noticed this scene, and they all looked up, their faces filled with shock and confusion.

"Has he gone mad?!" "Come back! It's too dangerous!" "Don't go over there!"

The shouts rose and fell, but they did nothing to stop A-Yun from moving forward.

He maintained his outstretched arms posture, his gaze unwavering, and slowly flew towards his target.

"Solgaleo... Lunala..." Ayun softly called their names, her voice sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet space.

“We’re friends… right…” A-Yun’s voice trembled slightly, yet it was full of determination.

He slowly stretched out his hands, ignoring the black energy that was frantically swirling around him, and went straight for the foreheads of the two legendary Pokémon.

The black mist touched his palm, making a sizzling sound as if it were burning his skin, but he was completely unaware, still wearing that gentle smile, and resolutely stretched forward.

Finally, his hands gently landed on Solgaleo and Lunala's foreheads.

The instant their palms touched, an extremely dazzling light suddenly burst forth from A-Yun's body!

The light was like the rising sun, or like the convergence of countless stars, instantly illuminating the entire dark world.

Under the light, the dark aura melted and dissipated rapidly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun. The area that was originally shrouded in dark aura was instantly filled with light, and a warm aura spread out.

Zhang Yu subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened them again after his eyes had adjusted to the dazzling light, he saw A Yun's figure gradually becoming transparent in the light, like smoke being blown away by the wind, turning into specks of brilliant starlight, and then slowly dissipating into the air, leaving only a faint, warm feeling.

"Please... wake up, and then, carrying my wish, save..."

The gentle words brushed past everyone's ears like feathers, carrying a hint of reluctance and a hint of anticipation. Finally, as Ah Yun dissipated, they merged into the wind and disappeared.

"Ayun..."

Zhang Yu's throat was dry and his voice was hoarse. Although it was their first meeting, their shared identity as divine messengers allowed him to empathize with A Yun's actions.

"To sacrifice oneself so that the light may dispel the darkness..."

"You guy..."

"Dafu..."

The Flower Queen hugged Zhang Yu's arm worriedly; it could sense that its trainer was feeling very heavy-hearted.

"Woo..."

"Roar!!!"

The confusion in Solgaleo and Lunala's eyes gradually cleared.

After absorbing A-Yun's light, they finally suppressed the erosion of the black energy.

Having regained their senses, they also sensed A-Yun's reluctance and helplessness, as well as her final wish.

However… this clarity of mind came at the cost of their former friend's sacrifice, which the two Pokémon found difficult to accept at first.

"Ah Yun, what have you done?!"

On the altar, Darth, captured by the League, stared in disbelief at the scene. He couldn't understand how the seemingly kind and not-so-bright divine messenger had sacrificed himself and reawakened two legendary Pokémon.

No one paid any attention to Dals; everyone was focused on Solgaleo and Lunala, who were radiating a divine aura in the air.

The two Pokémon knew this wasn't the time for sadness; finding the source of the pollution was the top priority.

"Roar……"

Solgaleo gave Zhang Yu an apologetic growl, then leaped through the air, disappearing into the horizon after several bounds.

Lunayara's gaze was complex, but in the end, she only let out a soft sigh and disappeared into the horizon.

"Thank you... stranger, trainer. Perhaps we'll need your help... Please, come with us..."

Lunayara's voice, filled with guilt and pleading, echoed in Zhang Yu's mind.

"Let's go... the chaos needs to end!"

Zhang Yu nodded, took a deep breath, then rallied her spirits and said firmly.

"Everyone, follow Lunayara, we... are going to help save the Radiant God!"

The League members below, watching the two Pokémon and Zhang Yu fly away, all turned to look at Qing Hui.

"In a battle of this magnitude, our presence would only cause trouble. However, we can't just sit and wait, leaving all the pressure to Ayu."

"Everyone, clean up the battlefield, recover your strength, and then search for Dars's accomplices! They must have been pulled into this space too!"

Qing Hui, with a cold face, gave the order.

He then interrogated Darss, saying, "Tell me the whole story, what happened, or else..."
