You Were Told to Find a Starter Pokemon, but You Contracted Hoopa Instead

Jiang Hao had waited sixteen years for a golden finger and had nearly given up hope. Outside the Charizard Valley, a Swablu crashed into a Poké Ball, and the Demon Contract System activated. For ten minutes, he could contract any Pokémon in sight.

A Champion-caliber Swablu was right in front of him, but he forced himself to hold back and save his one precious chance. Then the golden ring expanded once more, and an Altaria burst into the sky. The Charizard Alpha roared with fury and charged into battle, plunging the entire valley into chaos. But his true target was hovering high above.

His contract locked onto Hoopa. It switched from Confined Form to Unbound Form, and a six-armed demon descended. Its Hyperspace Fury swallowed the attacks raining down from the sky, then returned them with several times their power. The Charizard Alpha was knocked out in a single blow, and the Charizard across the mountain scattered and fled. A Shiny Charizard chased after him of its own accord, clinging to his leg and begging to be caught.

The world-class poaching group, Team Lizard, launched a surprise attack in the chaos. A mysterious device drove Pokémon berserk and pushed them beyond their limits, while poisonous gas swept through the young. Deep in a cave, a Mega Stone fell into a Charizard's hand, and the flames of a black Mega Charizard Y illuminated the specimens of its own kind. Farther inside, a girl shackled in chains opened her eyes. The System identified her as Latias.
