Chapter 423 A Desperate Opponent
"You lost."
Ash's voice was soft, like a feather falling, yet it also struck Hoshiguma's heart like a boulder.
"I……"
Huo Xing opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was being choked, and he couldn't make a sound. Only endless bitterness spread through his heart.
She slowly lowered her head, her gaze unfocused. Her eyes, which once shone with confidence and pride, were now dull and lifeless, like two pearls covered in dust.
"Damn it...why! Why?! Why?!"
She couldn't accept such a defeat, and she couldn't bear Xiaozhi's calm gaze. There was no mockery or smugness in his eyes, only indifference, an indifference that seemed to know everything.
Huo Xing suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing with two balls of madness. His originally delicate face was twisted with extreme anger and resentment, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair.
She stared intently at Xiaozhi, her voice hoarse, each word seeming to be squeezed from the depths of her throat, filled with intense hatred:
"So what if you beat me one-on-one? Do you really think you've got this in the bag?! Get him! Take him down!"
Huoxing suddenly pointed to the Team Galactic members behind her and screamed hysterically. Her voice was resolute and frantic, echoing in the cave with a desperate madness.
The Team Galactic members exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes. But after a brief moment of hesitation, they began to command their Pokémon to prepare for an attack. They knew there was no turning back now.
"So it's come to this after all." Ash looked at the already frantic crowd and shook his head slightly.
He slowly took out a magic ball from his waist and gently tossed it into the air, his movements elegant and composed, as if everything was under his control.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Ash's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were proclaiming a death sentence.
"I choose you, Deoxys!"
"Deoxys!"
As a deep, oppressive voice rang out, a purple figure appeared in the cave. It hovered in the air, its body constantly changing shape, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
The appearance of Deoxys caused the air in the entire cave to freeze.
The members of Team Galactic were instantly stunned, frozen in place as if they had been frozen in place, unable to move.
Their eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if they had seen something incredible.
"This...this is..."
A member of Team Galactic's voice trembled, cracking slightly, like a duck being choked.
"The legendary...Deoxys?!"
The voice of another member of Team Galactic was also trembling, filled with terror and despair.
"How is this possible?!"
The voices of the Galactic Team members rose and fell, filled with disbelief and despair.
They never expected that Ash would have such a trump card hidden away, a trump card that could destroy everything.
Deoxys, whose legends are even more fantastical than Darkrai's, is known to have the ability to fight Rayquaza.
Faced with legendary Pokémon of this caliber, they suddenly felt as insignificant as ants.
Just looking at Deoxys's terrifying face made their bodies tremble uncontrollably, as if every cell in their bodies was resisting fighting it.
Huoxing was also stunned. She stared blankly at Deoxys, her face filled with despair, as if she had lost all hope.
She never expected that not only would Darkrai appear in Ash's hands, but now Deoxys would also appear!
"Why...why are you so lucky?!"
Huo Xing's voice trembled, choked with sobs, and filled with helplessness and despair.
"Whether it's Azelf, Darkrai, or Deoxys..."
Huo Xing's voice grew softer and softer, filled with jealousy and resentment.
If, as described in mythology, the legendary Pokémon in this world are essentially the will of the world, then why have they, who stand on the side of the world and yearn to eradicate evil from it, never received the world's favor?
Ash looked at the emotionally distraught Star, his eyes showing no sympathy, only indifference.
"Are you lucky?"
Seeing that Starry was powerless to resist, Ash asked a question and then shook his head.
"If you think it's luck, then that's fine too."
Ash's voice was calm and firm, as if stating a fact, an undeniable fact.
He doesn't need to explain himself to anyone; he just needs to do what he believes is right and walk his own path.
Huo Xing slowly closed his eyes, his body completely losing strength, and even the will to resist had disappeared.
After seeing that Starp was no longer a threat, Ash turned his attention to...
At the same time, Deoxys had received Ash's attack command via Aura. It didn't need language, just a thought.
"Deoxys!"
It let out a low growl, and its body instantly switched to attack mode, unleashing powerful energy waves like a volcanic eruption.
"gravity!"
Almost the instant the words fell, the crystal on Deoxys' chest flashed with a dazzling purple light. In an instant, an invisible force, like a flood bursting its banks, erupted from Deoxys and swept in all directions.
This force is invisible and intangible, yet it truly exists, affecting every object and every inch of space within the cave.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment, becoming thick and heavy, as if filled with lead.
Inside the cave, the Team Galactic members and their Pokémon began to hunch over, their bodies bent and stooped, like weeds battered by a storm on a plain, as if being pressed down by an invisible hand.
Seeing that some of the enemies still had the ability to resist, Ash didn't intend to let them go so easily, and continued to issue commands.
"Strengthen your willpower!"
Deoxys's eyes flashed with purple light, and its powerful psychic energy erupted instantly, like invisible tentacles, kneading and squeezing the bodies of the Team Galactic members and their Pokémon. Two powerful moves came at the same time, and at this moment, there was no one on the field who could stand up straight.
Even the stronger Pokémon could only let out helpless howls, their bodies trembling slightly, unable to mount any effective resistance.
Faced with Deoxys's immense power, they were like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless to fight back.
"thunder."
Ash stopped looking at the Team Galactic members who were crying and begging for mercy ahead, and silently turned around to pick up the hat that had been blown away by the avalanche before the battle began.
Thunder illuminated the entire cave.
The wailing that had been echoing in the cramped cave just moments before has now all returned to silence.

I only have one chapter left from my weekend drafts, I'll post it as an extra chapter tonight~
(Deoxys's performance in both the TV series and the movie is terrifyingly strong; the seamless switching between his various forms is too overpowered.)
