Pokemon: As Cynthia's Fiance

Chapter 197: Berserk

High Above the Ruins.

Looking up at the sky, Cynthia's beautiful eyes shone.

Hovering there was Sam, riding atop the tyrannical, unparalleled Mega Rayquaza.

In her heart, she was amazed.

Down on the ground, Alder saw Rayquaza completely dominating the battle. He felt the weight on his shoulders lift.

The overall situation seemed set.

"Cynthia!" Alder shouted gratefully.

"Thanks to Sam, we might actually survive this! Otherwise, the Unova Alliance would have fallen into Ghetsis's hands today!"

Mega Rayquaza's terrifying strength had allowed the Unova Elite Four to breathe a sigh of relief, finally.

Caitlin, the Psychic-type Elite Four member, looked at the white dragon Reshiram, who was standing guard in front of them.

Then she looked at the black dragon in the sky.

"I really envy you, Cynthia," Caitlin said softly, linking her arm with Cynthia's naturally.

"With such a fiancé, the sense of security is overwhelming."

"Yeah," Marshal added, wiping sweat from his brow.

"Without Professor Samuel, we really couldn't deal with a monster like Black Kyurem."

Everyone's gratitude added to the pride in Cynthia's heart.

Diantha, standing to the side, watched Cynthia being the center of attention.

She felt a faint, fleeting sense of loss in her heart, but she quickly pushed it away. She was happy for her friends.

Sabrina, however, narrowed her eyes. She stared at the power Sam was displaying.

'I need to train harder, she resolved.

'Before the World Championship begins... I must become strong enough to defeat Cynthia. Only then will I be qualified.'

Attention returned to the two Legendary Pokémon.

Black Kyurem, who had been knocked into the deep pit, was being continuously bombarded by Mega Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent.

The Ice Armor on its body was shattered, scattering frozen shards everywhere.

"ROAR..."

Black Kyurem struggled to stand up from the pit, its movements sluggish.

Although Mega Rayquaza had the upper hand, Sam remained cautious.

The opponent was also a Level 99 Dragon. And Sam suspected Ghetsis had a backup plan.

"Ghetsis," Sam called out, his voice amplified by Rayquaza's aura.

"You cannot win."

"You failed to get the Pokémon's approval. You use external force to control it, treating it like a lifeless tool. Because of that, even if you control Black Kyurem, you can never bring out its full combat power."

"Black Kyurem..."

Ghetsis stood on his Hydreigon, his face twisting. The complacency he had at the start was gone.

He looked down at his damaged dragon. This situation was beyond his expectations.

As a Trainer, Ghetsis understood the reality.

Black Kyurem had taken heavy damage. Its vitality was dropping. If the fight continued like this, he would lose.

And if he lost... his dream of conquering Unova would be shattered. He would spend the rest of his life rotting in a high-security Alliance prison.

'No!'

Ghetsis felt a surge of violent unwillingness. I will not lose!

With madness written all over his face, he pulled out a small, remote-like machine.

This was the device Colress had built using Team Rocket's technology. It was the key to controlling Zekrom and Kyurem.

But there was one function Ghetsis hadn't used yet.

A function Colress had warned him against.

"Perhaps..." Ghetsis spat out, his voice trembling with rage.

"Perhaps what you said is right, Samuel!"

"I can't use 100% of Black Kyurem's power while controlling it!"

"So... I have decided to give up control!"

Ghetsis held the remote high.

"I will unleash the beast completely! Let its strength increase to the level of a demon!"

CLICK.

Ghetsis pressed the red button.

Sam felt a chill run down his spine. His aura screamed of imminent threat.

Down in the pit, the generator on Black Kyurem's tail began to whine.

The sound rose in pitch until it was a deafening shriek.

The original violent momentum of the dragon didn't just increase; it exploded exponentially!

"ROOOAAAR!!!!"

"ROOOAAAR!!!!"

Black Kyurem let out a scream that sounded less like a dragon and more like a tortured soul.

Frost spread rapidly from the pit, flashing outward at supernatural speed.

The ground turned black and brittle under the extreme cold.

With a final, brutal roar, Black Kyurem shot out of the pit.

Its eyes glowed a distinct, blood-red hue.

Berserk Mode.

It overwhelmed Mega Rayquaza's pressure in an instant.

Sam quickly used his System Eye to check the new status.

[Pokémon: Black Kyurem]

[Type: Ice / Dragon]

[Ability: Teravolt]

[Level: 99 (Tier 1 Peak)]

[Condition: BERSERK (Sanity lost. Falling into boundless tyranny. It is burning its own life force to forcefully increase combat power beyond its limits.)]

[Note: It has become a biological weapon of pure destruction.]

"Crazy..."

Sam whispered the word.

The current Black Kyurem was like Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon he had met in the Kalos Region. It felt like death incarnate.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Ghetsis laughed with final, desperate madness.

"Behold! The Enhanced Black Kyurem!"

"Destroy them! Freeze every living thing into dust!!"

So what if he lost control? As long as it killed Sam and Rayquaza, that was enough!

If the Berserk Kyurem fought Rayquaza to the death, Ghetsis could pick up the pieces later.

"Kill him!" Ghetsis screamed.

"ROOOAAAR!!!"

The red-eyed Black Kyurem locked onto Rayquaza and charged.
