A/N Finally, the climax of the story! I'm sure you're all thinking something along the lines of "What's that thing going to do?" or "What's going to happen tomorrow?" or "What about X?" Well, trust me. ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED. Whether I like it or not…hehehe…Anyway, I don't own Pokemon. Also, I know "Hyperou" is a lame name but oh well. Can anybody say "First Chapter"? You'll find out what I mean when you read this…And finally, I changed this story's name to "When Legends Die".

Ryuu stared at the thing. Then, he realized something. He took a step closer, and realized it looked like a much more monstrous-looking Infinity.
"You like it?" Someone coolly said. All the Pokemon in the room(except the thing)turned around so see who said that. It was Ryuu's Flying Teacher!
"How did you see us?" Asked Latios, still not letting up his part of the invisibility.
The man slowly started walking forward. "Our cameras are not as pathetic as most are. They are thermo-sensitive, which means that they can detect any changes in heat within the specified area." Since Mew, Jirachi, Latias, and Latios knew they were visible to the cameras even if they were invisible to normal eyes, they let down the attack.
"We need to retreat!" Mew frantically said.
"But I'm not done yet!" Ryuu said. "There are so many unanswered questions…what's going to happen to X and Infinity? Will they ever turn back to normal? Will I? What is that thing?" He pointed to the tube with the giant Pokemon in it.
"It's too late, Shishido! We don't have time to answer those questions, if we don't leave now we're done for!"
The situation was grim, and even though the man knew they would teleport out of Team Rocket's grasp was grinning from ear to ear. He soon started laughing.
"Teleport!"
In a bright flash of pink light, Mew and the rest of the group was gone. But about a few milliseconds later, they were back in the same spot.
"What the heck…!" Mew said, looking around. The rest of the group was doing the same. The man laughed even harder.
"You're all idiots!" He said. "Don't you know our facility is not only sound-proof, but teleport-proof? That is to say, you can teleport anywhere you want within a room or hallway but nowhere outside it. This is for security, and yet to allow our new additions to practice the skill."
"Ksaa!" Ryuu shouted, remembering back when he was just Shishido he would say that whenever he was frustrated.
"I'll probably be killed for this, but I've always wanted to see Legends die. I guess as a sort of Rocket Death Wish. Hyperou!"
The thing in the amber container opened its glowing, golden eyes. The beast studied the room for targets before it saw some nice Legendaries in the middle. Legendaries were rumored to taste better than any other Pokemon, as well as put up a fight better than any other, and so it hastily broke out of its container. Orange-brown liquid and glass was splattered all over the floor as it did. It put its heavy feet on the marble, breaking it under its weight. Its forelegs pounded the floor in eagerness to fight, its right middle-leg grabbing for air.
"Hyperou, kill them!"
It lifted its head and let out an ear-splitting roar before charging at the Legends in the middle of the room.
"Rock tomb!" Mew said, making rocks come up from the floor to block Hyperou from giving a successful headbutt. Although it did significantly slow the thing down, its momentum was enough to knock a nice chunk from Mew's life. However, the effects of this were nullified with a Recover.
"Okay, just bribe the water…" Ryuu muttered as he concentrated energy into his claws. Sure enough, he eventually saw water seeping in from the doorway right behind the grinning man. "Ice Pillar!" Ryuu thrust his hands up, willing the water to turn to ice. The water engulfed the startled man and shortly after made him look like an ice sculpture. "I call that…'El Stupido'" Ryuu proudly said. However, his attention was turned to Hyperou when it Dragon Clawed him. It stretched across his arms, but he avoided a deep cut on his belly(it was shallow instead).
As the glowing, rainbow blood leaked out from Ryuu's body, the thing in front of him laughed.
"You're a pathetic excuse for an Irochigai Densetsu, Ryuu." It said. Its sneer could only be described as evil and horrible.
The Irochigai Densetsu struggled to get up, only to fall down again, fighting fatigue from blood loss. As things started to fade from view, it seemed like the last thing he'll ever hear was that thing's maniacal laughter…
At least, that would be the last thing he ever heard if Celebi hadn't knocked into him, causing him to fly across the room and if Mew hadn't accidentally knocked into the control panel and if Ryuu hadn't landed on the flat, iron rectangle that he loathingly remembered. That would have been the last thing he had heard if the machine had not also been started up, once again closing the metal bands around his arms and legs. This all caused something to be pulled from Ryuu: A boy. Shishido. He slipped from Ryuu like a ghost but landed on the floor with a thud. Surprisingly, his mental condition was perfect, as in he was neither tired nor unconscious and he was not scathed in any way. Ryuu, on the other hand, was still bleeding heavily and if he had any chance of surviving he needed attention, quickly. What was odd was that both Shishido and Ryuu had memory of what happened the past couple of days, and also that Ryuu was not going on a rampage like Giovanni had predicted. But of course, the latter was not clear to Shishido. Suddenly, Ryuu spoke.
"Shishido."
His attention turned from the floor to the Raylatia. He was still thinking of Kiba, and so for some reason, asked it, "Where's Kiba?"
"Shishido…" It repeated, this time smiling. That smile comforted Shishido, and reminded him of… "I am Kiba!"
