"Very well. This time, we must leave them all here!" A cold light flashed in Cain's eyes.
Marcus was an old acquaintance of his. Especially during this period, he had been repeatedly harassing the Hoenn region, and had always done so under his leadership.
After several guerrilla battles, he had also obtained quite a few benefits from them, and moreover, with the support of the bishop of the Sacred Church, Marcus' strength had almost returned to its peak.
On Cain's right hand was a special bracelet. Beneath that bracelet, the tattoo of the Unown shaped like a question mark emitted a glow, and a silvery-white barrier expanded outward with Cain as the center.
It grew larger and larger, until it covered everyone.
Cain had already told everyone about the special ability of this question mark-shaped Unown, so although they were surprised by the power it possessed, they did not react excessively.
Before the barrier created by Cain completely closed, the spatial channel of the Sacred Church finally opened, and a group of people emerged from it.
However, as soon as they came out and saw the scene before them, the shock in their hearts was impossible to suppress.
What was going on?
Had they been ambushed?
They wanted to retreat, but discovered that the spatial rift behind them had already completely closed, giving them no chance to withdraw, expelling all of them at once.
Cain frowned as he looked at the people emerging from within.
Something was not right. Although there were still quite a few people this time, and Marcus was also leading them, compared with previous occasions, there were fewer powerful individuals.
High-level members of the Sacred Church were missing, or rather, there were none at all. Aside from Marcus, there was not a single high-level member present.
Marcus narrowed his eyes when he saw Cain and Steven standing in front of him, his gaze icy. During this time, he had encountered those two quite often.
Cain's strength had exceeded his expectations, and although Steven had not yet reached Cain's level, his power also could not be underestimated. He was a formidable opponent.
He had not expected them to calculate the exact point where they would appear.
But it did not matter. From the moment he accepted this mission, he had already prepared himself to sacrifice at any time. Moreover, Cain was becoming stronger and stronger. If he did not take this opportunity to take revenge, in the future it would become even more impossible for him to accomplish it. This was his final chance!
Cain was not the only one who sensed something was wrong. Steven also felt that something was off.
"This isn't right."
Cain nodded with a serious expression. Not only was the number of people on the other side strange, but even Marcus' expression and aura at that moment were not normal either.
The question mark-shaped Unown in Cain's right hand, together with the rest of the Unown, all lit up.
"The situation isn't good. Vivian, immediately contact the President and my Master. Tell them what is happening here."
"But inside this barrier... there is no signal!" Vivian was stunned when she heard that.
The corner of Cain's lips rose slightly, forming a curve. Facing Marcus, he naturally would not fall behind in terms of presence. A confident smile appeared on his face.
"Don't forget whose territory this is!"
He moved his right hand as if brushing off dust. Except for Cain and Steven, all the League members felt an irresistible pushing force on their bodies that expelled them outside the barrier.
From that moment on, only Cain and Steven remained inside the entire barrier.
At that instant, a smile also appeared on Steven's face. Naturally, he understood what Cain intended.
Since on the enemy side only Marcus was worthy of their attention, the rest of those nobodies posed no pressure to them. In that case, it was better to remove everyone else first, to prevent their presence from restricting their ability to fight freely.
"It's been a long time since we fought together, hasn't it?" Cain said.
"Yes! Let's crush them!" Steven's expression gradually filled with excitement.
If it had been someone else, it would have been difficult to say whether cooperation would allow both of them to fully display their strength. But if the other person was Cain, Steven felt that by combining their forces, they would undoubtedly unleash power at one hundred and twenty percent or even more.
Cain became famous thanks to his combined sandstorm battle tactics, and Steven's Steel- and Rock-type Pokémon could perfectly integrate into that style of combat.
Their movements were practically identical, executed at the same time. One by one, the Poké Balls were unhooked from their belts and thrown.
Tyranitar! Aggron! Blaziken! Swampert! Gengar! Lucario!
On Steven's side, he summoned his Metagross, Aggron, Aerodactyl, Mawile, Armaldo, and Claydol!
Together, the two of them summoned a total of twelve Pokémon!
Marcus, seeing their actions, understood their intention. He remained silent, saying nothing, and simply summoned his own Pokémon as well.
"Tyranitar! Aggron! Mega Evolution!" Two Key Stones on the bracelet on Cain's right hand lit up.
Accompanied by two roars, Mega Tyranitar and Mega Aggron appeared at the same time before everyone.
Steven did not fall behind either. However, with his current ability, although he had already become familiar with Mega Evolution for some time, he did not know whether he could withstand the simultaneous Mega Evolution of two Pokémon. So, after hesitating slightly, he followed the desire of his heart, ignored Mawile's resentful gaze, and shouted:
"Mega Evolve, Metagross!"
When the energy of Mega Evolution dissipated, Mega Metagross made its appearance!
"As expected, all men are scoundrels!" Mawile complained in her heart, though she only thought it to herself. Her body, however, was very honest, and she followed Steven's command, adopting a defensive stance.
"Crimson Sand Hell!" Cain's deep shout rang out, and Mega Tyranitar, Gengar, and the other Pokémon began to act simultaneously.
