It was an unparalleled red, a crimson glow that grew brighter and brighter. The sturdy cage cracked more and more, the red light intensifying!
Already, one could faintly see a massive Pokémon inside slowly raising its head.
"This is bad…"
Seeing this, Oleana's cold, beautiful face instantly paled. This warehouse was Eternatus's prison, a crucial part of Rose's future plans.
And now, the warehouse was destroyed…
Eternatus would inevitably awaken, but with Rose absent, who would stop it?
The Energy Plant was the base that provided Dynamax energy to the entire Galar region. If something happened to the Energy Plant, most of the stadiums in Galar would lose the ability to Dynamax!
What had driven Galar's rapid development in recent years?
It was Dynamax! It was the emergence and uniqueness of Dynamax that had allowed Galar to rise.
And Oleana was the creator of the Dynamax Band. It was precisely because of this talent that Rose had chosen and promoted her.
Now, with Eternatus released, Oleana couldn't imagine the consequences if it went out of control. Not only would Rose's efforts be in vain, but more importantly…
The Energy Plant was directly beneath Hammerlocke!
"You bastard! Do you have any idea what you've done?"
Because of her intelligence, Oleana instantly thought of the severe consequences, all of which were unacceptable to her!
Her eyes turned red as she turned to Ryuu Shiro, her voice hoarse with rage.
She couldn't imagine how disappointed Rose would be when he returned.
"What I've done? Of course, I know."
Ryuu Shiro raised an eyebrow, glancing at Oleana with a mocking smile, completely unfazed by her breakdown.
"Eternatus, the instigator of the 'Darkest Day' disaster in the Galar region three thousand years ago, the source of Dynamax, the most powerful and evil legendary Pokémon in Galar."
His crimson eyes burned with fervor as Ryuu Shiro's smile widened, watching Eternatus slowly break free from the "warehouse."
"You know, I've had an almost obsessive fascination with dragons since I was a child. I love dragons! Perhaps it's in my family's genes."
"So I've been searching everywhere for dragons. Ordinary dragons can't satisfy me, not even those hailed as pseudo-legendaries."
"The sky, time, space, antimatter, truth, ideals…"
Ryuu Shiro slowly stepped forward, moving closer to the dragon emitting a dangerous red glow.
Yes, he loved dragons! He loved them immensely!
But because of that love, he couldn't settle for less. He sought the absolute power of dragons. If it wasn't a perfect dragon, Ryuu Shiro would rather have none at all.
That's why, even while by Pryce's side, he never stopped seeking information about dragons.
"But it was so difficult. It wasn't until recently that I found some valuable information—the dragon that nearly destroyed Galar three thousand years ago."
"A legend with such power, and you just wanted to use it as a tool for energy? How laughable."
Ryuu Shiro sneered. Yes, wasn't it ridiculous?
Why did Rose pursue Eternatus? Because Eternatus was the source of Dynamax energy. By controlling Eternatus, Galar would have an endless supply of Dynamax energy.
It was this very ideal that led to Rose's falling out with Leon, ultimately landing him in prison.
What a waste of Eternatus's power!
"The chairman's grand dream is something you ambitious fools could never understand!"
Oleana clenched her teeth, her voice sharp as she retorted.
Rose was a man who would sacrifice everything for Galar. He had already made his resolve, something outsiders could never comprehend.
Besides her gratitude for his mentorship, it was her understanding of Rose's intentions that made Oleana follow him down this path.
"How noble~ But that has nothing to do with me. Still, I must thank you for finding Eternatus."
Ryuu Shiro chuckled, walking up to the awakening Eternatus without looking back.
He had to give thanks. If Rose hadn't found Eternatus, how could Ryuu Shiro have so easily come into contact with it?
"Get away from Eternatus!"
Hearing the disdain in Ryuu Shiro's voice, Oleana's face twisted. She couldn't tolerate it!
She couldn't tolerate this man's disrespect toward Rose!
"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"
Milotic opened its mouth, gathering a powerful blue energy.
Though she rarely had time to train her Pokémon due to her busy schedule, Oleana's skills were indeed impressive, nearly at the Elite Four level.
"I believe I've already told you not to interfere." Ryuu Shiro turned his cold gaze toward Oleana.
"Tyra~"
Tyranitar roared, a destructive black beam instantly shooting out.
Hyper Beam!
The Hyper Beam collided violently with the Hydro Pump, but there was no contest. The Hyper Beam effortlessly shattered Milotic's attack, continuing toward Milotic as Oleana's pupils contracted.
Boom!
The explosion echoed, and Oleana was sent flying by the shockwave, slamming hard onto the ground.
Milotic was already unconscious, unable to battle.
"Damn it…"
Struggling to get up, Oleana bit her lip, staring at Ryuu Shiro with frustration.
He was too strong. They weren't on the same level.
"You'll regret this! We won't let you get away with it!"
Knowing she couldn't stop Ryuu Shiro, Oleana clutched her injured arm, her voice filled with resentment.
Damn Team Rocket!
