Fang Yuan immediately noticed something was wrong with the two ancient creatures. Their current condition was much more dangerous than that of the Huge Gyro Dragon and his own Puppy; it seemed that possibly tens of thousands of years of sealing had rendered them unable to control this power.
"Negative energy?"
Hirona looked down and, just as Fang Yuan had said, dark red plants were continuously proliferating, eroding the world. Although she still didn't fully understand what was happening, Fang Yuan's serious tone compelled Hirona's expression to subtly change, and she could not help but believe him.
Can't this incident be smoothly resolved by fighting?
"Yes, that power cannot be eliminated by normal means, not even by Zygarde, the ecological guardian, and legend among Pokemon. It can only clear the surface energy, hardly able to find the core."
"Mr. Fang Yuan, you have a way, right?" Hirona, thinking of Fang Yuan's research on super ancient civilizations, immediately spoke.
"Mhm... I have a means to eliminate the negative energy leaking from them, so, Miss Hilona, leave the task of battling and restraining the two ancient creatures to me. You help me retrieve the object that sealed them, how about that?" Fang Yuan said to Hirona, smiling.
"Please believe me."
Seeing Fang Yuan's confident smile, Hirona was slightly startled. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she simply nodded silently, choosing to trust Fang Yuan.
"Thank you, now watch me."
After explaining everything to Hirona, Fang Yuan took out the Poké Ball of the Mane Rock Werewolf and pressed the release switch in the direction of the two ancient creatures.
In Hirona's gaze, the beam of light shot from the Poké Ball touched the ground hundreds of meters away, and the outline of a Pokemon appeared with it.
Despite the distance, Hirona could still make out which Pokemon Fang Yuan had sent out.
She couldn't help but be astonished, her beautiful eyes showing a blank look.
The Mane Rock Werewolf?
However.
"Aoouu—"
Watching the newly entered Mane Rock Werewolf get swept away by a small whirlwind caused by the aftershocks of the battle between the two ancient creatures, she blinked at Fang Yuan.
Mr. Fang Yuan, are you sure you're not joking?
This Mane Rock Werewolf probably doesn't even have the strength of a Quasi-King, right?
The Braviary and the Garchomp also cast doubtful glances at Fang Yuan, wondering if this kid could handle it.
If not, they should quickly let them join the battle.
"Leave it to him, it'll be fine."
Fang Yuan was extremely calm, and his Eevee on his shoulder, as well as the Dragonite below him, were also quite composed.
Don't worry, the current Mane Rock Werewolf is just a Master Level normal state—
but after unleashing the Super Ancient Power, it will show its prime form.
"Here it comes," Fang Yuan said.
Before Hirona and her two Pokemon could react, suddenly a louder howl, a roar, echoed through the air.
"Aoouu—" A savage and majestic wolf howl resounded, and almost instantly, swept across the whole Back Mountain of New Bark Town.
The wave motion of the sound caused the dark clouds in the sky to become even more chaotic, and the research team and the Team Rocket Trio, hiding not far away, almost instantly covered their ears. Then they peeked out and stared in disbelief at the incredible scene unfolding before them.
Within the remnant shadows of the black clouds, the figure of a wolf was rapidly growing larger. In a brief moment, this creature reached a size of dozens of meters.
The next instant, as its enlarging body continued to grow, a long white tail tens of meters in length swept across, catching the two battling ancient creatures off guard. They were abruptly flung away, crashing into and toppling a mountain peak.
With its tail sweeping across, its master looked on indifferently with eyes as blue as stars at the two ancient creatures sent flying, displaying a look of disdain for everything.
Ancient Mane Rock Werewolf, at your service!
"Impossible..."
"Where did this monster come from?!"
At this moment, following the appearance of the Mane Rock Werewolf, the research team studying the ancient civilization, as well as the Team Rocket Trio who had released the two ancient creatures, all opened their mouths wide, exhibiting looks of disbelief.
Even Hirona, the Champion of Shinnoh, was stunned atop Braviary.
This is...
Upon seeing something more shocking than Ancient Hudidi, Gengar, and the Giant Rock Wolfman, Hirona was astonished.
What kind of creature is this? Its mane, resembling interweaving peaks, like rugged abysses, filled with a sense of grandeur. Each of its limbs, as tall as individual peaks, exuded a terrifyingly stunning beauty of violence.
The gigantic form, the perfect lines of its body, in harmony with the coordinated black patterns, made this mysterious giant Mane Rock Werewolf look supremely majestic, surpassing everything else.
If the two ancient creatures were civilians, then it was the king.
"Super Ancient... Mane Rock Werewolf?" Hirona murmured.
How is this possible.
Boom!!!
Under Hirona's astonished gaze, the giant Mane Rock Werewolf didn't pause. It stepped down, stepping onto the dark red plants produced by the leakage of negative energy. The moment it made contact, the plants instantaneously disintegrated like sand, their dark energy swiftly absorbed into the body of the Werewolf, strengthening its black patterns.
"Woo—" In an almost roaring cry, the Mane Rock Werewolf charged towards the bewildered, rising Ancient Hudidi and Gengar.
