Boom!
As the smoke and dust cleared, a figure plummeted from the sky.
Mega Sharpedo crashed to the ground, its eyes spinning as it lost consciousness.
A mysterious light burst from its body, gradually dissipating as it reverted to the form of a regular Sharpedo.
Normally, a Pokémon will automatically exit its Mega Evolution state when incapacitated.
"Alta..."
Meanwhile, Mega Altaria, the only one still circling in mid-air, hadn't been defeated, but the scorched marks covering its fluffy white cotton showed it was heavily injured.
On the other side, Dusclops was also on its last legs, its movements becoming extremely strained.
Only Ash's Torkoal was still in relatively good health.
It had been thoroughly protected by Dusclops throughout this battle.
Slap!
Ash and Phoebe even gave each other a high-five, a gesture of camaraderie.
To think that a seemingly unremarkable Trainer would have a few tricks up his sleeve. Phoebe had already realized that Ash was no ordinary Trainer.
"Damn you, you two brats!"
Enraged to be the first one defeated, and seeing the two even making that childish gesture in front of him, Archie recalled his Sharpedo and prepared to send out his second Pokémon.
Hmph, he had no intention of playing some proper trainer's game of house with them.
Sharpedo was merely his number three. This time, he would go straight for his strongest, Walrein, and freeze everyone at once!
Zinnia's expression was just as grim. Now that one of her Pokémon had been defeated, she was already thinking of retreating.
Her mission today was to safely deliver the Blue Orb to Archie. Now that it was done, there was no need to get further entangled.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate.
*Clatter, clatter, clatter...!*
At that moment, a woman in a uniform walked up the staircase to the rooftop—it was the security guard from before.
"Whismur~!"
A small, pink, rabbit-like Pokémon followed beside her. The moment it saw Zinnia, its face lit up, and it immediately hopped into her arms.
"Hey! You lot! This area is currently closed. Please leave immediately!"
The security guard scolded, not recognizing that the group included an Elite Four and even the dangerous leader of Team Aqua.
Seeing the Pokémon facing off, full of battle intent, and the signs of a battle all around, how could she not know what had just happened here?
She had felt the commotion of the battle from inside on the floor below.
"Tch, this woman...!"
Archie's face darkened. How dare this woman scold him?
Already seething, he postured as if to eliminate everyone before him.
*Thump, thump, thump!!*
*Thump, thump, thump!!*
However, the next moment, several sets of hurried footsteps echoed from the staircase entrance. It was several Officer Jennys.
Ash and Phoebe exchanged a look and nodded discreetly.
*Don't panic, I called them.*
Before making his move, Ash had already called the police to report an illegal transaction on the department store rooftop.
Using the Pokédex to call the police was a move he had copied from Sawyer.
"Hey! You lot! We received a report of an illegal transaction here. All of you are coming with us!" one of the Officer Jennys ordered sharply.
Beside them were several snarling Manectrics, their fur standing on end with crackling electricity—their police partners.
"Ooh~ The police are here~!"
Seeing this, Zinnia's battle intent vanished, and she prepared to flee.
"Alta~!"
The Mega Altaria in the sky swooped down, and Zinnia leaped nimbly.
The next moment, she had landed on Altaria's back, holding her Whismur in her other arm.
"Tch, the cops."
Archie's expression was equally sour.
Although he wasn't afraid of the official police, he couldn't be bothered dealing with them.
Getting involved with them was as much trouble as stepping in shit.
"Hmph! You two brats, I'll remember this!"
In the end, he shot a vicious glare at Ash and Phoebe, and the Poké Ball he was about to grab was swapped for another.
*Pop!*
This time, a Pelipper came out.
Archie grabbed Pelipper's talons, preparing to escape from the rooftop through the sky.
"Wait! You have to leave the Blue Orb here today!"
Elite Four Phoebe suddenly remembered something and chased after him anxiously.
"Dusc..."
But the nearby Dusclops's stamina was at its limit. It was willing but lacked the strength, unable to move.
When the Officer Jennys' police partners saw their target trying to escape, they instinctively lunged forward to bite and restrain him...
"Mega Altaria, use Hyper Voice!"
However, a low command suddenly echoed from the sky.
The next moment, a powerful pink sound wave swept across the area. Everyone was frozen in place by the Fairy-type energy, able only to clamp their hands over their ears with pained expressions.
The force of Mega Altaria's attack was still incredibly powerful.
By the time everyone opened their eyes again, both Archie's and Zinnia's figures had vanished from mid-air.
The Sunny Day weather effect had long since ended. The sky had reverted to being overcast and rainy, with dark clouds gathered and visibility extremely poor.
"Damn it!"
In the end, Phoebe could only slam her fist on the railing, her expression changing.
Department Store, first-floor lobby.
"I see. We will begin a search immediately!"
Officer Jenny gave a solemn bow, then hurried out of the building and into the rain with her Manectrics.
After learning that Phoebe was an Elite Four, she naturally knew they were on the same side.
Phoebe, however, did not tell her about the Blue Orb, only that a precious orb had been stolen by Team Aqua.
After all, the secret of the Blue and Red Orbs was too significant to be widely publicized.
Soon, only Phoebe and Ash were left.
Although they were still surrounded by a constant stream of tourists and customers, it was clear that no one had noticed the fierce battle on the rooftop.
"Sorry about that. We couldn't stop those two."
Seeing her somber expression as she looked down in thought, Ash gave a dry laugh, breaking the awkward silence.
"Oh, ah, not at all! I'm already very grateful for your help!"
Elite Four Phoebe was stunned for a moment before she reacted, her face flushing as she explained hastily.
Her age wasn't much different from Ash's, yet she was already an Elite Four... This gave Ash the feeling that she was a 'little adult'.
After all, every Elite Four he had met before was over twenty years old.
"Sigh..."
But now, both orbs that had been guarded for generations were lost. This filled Phoebe with a strong sense of powerlessness, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

(Trivia: In the games, the rooftop of this Department Store does indeed close to the public due to the abnormal weather changes caused by Kyogre and Groudon.)
