Chapter 79 79: You’ve Chosen Death
As long as he found Magearna, Found—
"…Hm?!"
Mid-laughter, Jarvis suddenly noticed a figure beside Volcanion.
That doll-like metallic body—
Wasn't it the legendary Pokémon he had been searching for all these years—
Magearna?!
"Magearna!!"
"So you're here…!"
Jarvis's face lit up with ecstatic delight.
"Wonderful—finally, I've found you, Magearna!"
"Doo-doo…"
Magearna trembled under his obsessive gaze, shrinking back and hiding behind Sora.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Sora gently patted her hand to reassure her.
But when he looked at Jarvis—
His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Hey. You're scaring my Magearna."
Only then did Jarvis seem to notice Sora.
Doka and Yisha, however, were already staring at him warily.
"Who the hell are you?"
Jarvis snapped, clearly annoyed at being interrupted.
He raised his staff—
Mega Evolution light flared.
At the same time—
A controlled shiny Gengar appeared.
No—
Now it was Mega Gengar.
Snow-white body.
A third eye on its forehead.
Half its body submerged in shadow.
Exactly as Sora remembered.
"Take him down, Gengar!"
"Geng!!"
Unable to resist, Gengar gathered a Shadow Ball—
Aimed directly at Sora.
"Jarvis, have you lost your mind?!"
Kimia shouted.
She knew he didn't care about attacking humans—
But this was right in front of her.
Was he planning to silence everyone?
Kill all witnesses—
Erase all evidence?
Or did he think—
Now that he had found Magearna—
The League's rules no longer mattered?
"If you must blame someone—"
"Blame yourself for refusing to follow my arrangements, Princess Kimia."
Jarvis swung his staff downward.
The Shadow Ball shot forward—
Fast and merciless.
"…Tch."
Sora clicked his tongue.
Did he really look like some minor character?
"Ponii—"
"Smack!"
Ogerpon was about to act—
But Volcanion moved faster.
Stepping forward—
Its twin pipes lashed out like whips.
One shielded Sora and the others—
The other struck the incoming Shadow Ball—
Sending it flying.
"…What was that?"
Sora looked unimpressed.
He'd thought Jarvis had some real backing to act this arrogantly.
Turns out—
This?
It was like swatting a mosquito.
"Bini~"
"From level 52… to 57?"
Through Victini, Sora obtained Gengar's exact level.
"So Mega Evolution boosts about five levels' worth of energy…"
Mega Evolution—
One of the four major battle systems.
Alongside Dynamax, Terastalization, and Z-Moves.
Unlike in some exaggerated interpretations—
The +100 base stats weren't all in one place.
They were spread across attributes.
Say a stat went from 100 to 130—
Was that impressive?
Not really.
It didn't even compare to the simple 1.5× boost from Terastalization.
From Sora's observation:
Before Mega Evolution, Gengar was level 52.
After—level 57.
Whether this scaling varied between Pokémon—
He wasn't sure.
"But still… not bad."
Mega Evolution's biggest advantage—
Was its freedom.
No geographical restrictions.
"Still…"
Sora looked at Jarvis with disdain.
"With just that, you dared to come here?"
"You really don't take me seriously."
Had this guy not seen Ogerpon and Volcanion's battle?
Anyone with half a brain—
Would know better.
"Damn it!"
Jarvis was a researcher—not a battler.
In his mind, Pokémon battles were just—
Throwing moves at each other.
Whoever hit harder won.
He hadn't anticipated this at all.
Gengar's Shadow Ball… got swatted away?
How is that possible?!
What kind of Pokémon is that?!
Realizing Volcanion was troublesome—
Jarvis prepared to rely on his technology—
To subdue these "dangerous beasts."
"…No remorse at all."
Sora shook his head.
He had no interest in talking further.
"Not good!"
On the airship, Doka and Yisha noticed Sora's expression change.
They immediately jumped onto personal flyers—
And tried to escape.
"Shoot them down."
With Sora's command—
Volcanion eagerly unleashed Overheat.
In an instant—
Blazing flames compressed into a crimson beam—
And blasted toward the airship.
BOOM!!
No resistance.
The ship was pierced through—
Followed by a violent explosion.
Kimia watched silently.
She said nothing.
Jarvis had crossed the line.
Ignoring League law—
Attacking humans openly.
If Sora killed him—
It would still count as self-defense.
She made up her mind—
If the League investigated—
She would testify for Sora.
"Wait—the Gengar is still up there!"
"Bini~!"
No need to worry.
Victini had already reached the stunned Mega Gengar—
And while its attention wavered—
Slammed into its back—
Subduing it instantly.
"Kimia, handle Gengar."
"I'll go after those two."
Sora was about to mount Ursaluna—
But Volcanion stepped forward on its own.
He didn't refuse.
Leaping onto Volcanion's back—
They took off after Doka and Yisha.
Volcanion was fast.
With steam propulsion—
At short range, it was like a fighter jet.
In the blink of an eye—
They caught up.
