You're not allowed to play Pokémon!

Chapter 174 Shocking! Black Sky Sovereign actually made a secret deal with Teacher Yu in public?

"That is……"

A powerful roar echoed from the sky.

For the Dragon-type trainers who were hosting this year's Masters Tournament, that voice was incredibly familiar.

Dragon roar!

It is said that only dragon Pokémon that have trained to the extreme, or some legendary Pokémon, can emit such a majestic voice.

Considering the Pokémon's appearance, the answer becomes obvious...

Rayquaza!
A-Du's gaze as she looked at the sky was filled with a fiery intensity.

It's unclear why this being, known as the Sky Guardian in the Hoenn region, has appeared in the Padia region...

However, one thing is certain—

Legend has it that Pokémon never appear in human sight without a reason.

Just like the Ho-Oh that was once worshipped in the Indigo Plateau, only a very few lucky trainers have been able to catch a glimpse of Ho-Oh's true face.

It even left behind a legend that "meeting Ho-Oh will bring good luck".

I believe the same applies to this Rayquaza.

Is Rayquaza appearing because the Master Tournament filled Tabletop City with Dragon-type energy?
This is all Adu can guess.

"The legendary Pokémon have reappeared before humanity?"

Compared to the other viewers who seemed impressed but were actually clueless, Professor Oak, who was more knowledgeable, frowned slightly.

This might not necessarily be a good thing...

Although according to Hoenn legend, Rayquaza is more friendly to humans than the other two legendary Pokémon that created the land and sea respectively.

However, their appearance often foreshadows an impending disaster.

It's not necessarily influenced by nature or mythical creatures; it's more likely due to human beings...

Therefore, having seen more, Professor Oak couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, it was in the relatively safer Padiya region; otherwise, it might have attracted the attention of some powerful forces.

After exchanging a silent glance with Qingyu for a moment, Liekongzuo suddenly made a new move.

With a heavy sonic boom, Rayquaza's body plummeted downwards, heading straight for the battlefield in the center of Tabletop.

Rayquaza is said to be the fastest of all Pokémon, even able to catch up with meteorites falling from space to Earth, and uses the energy contained in the meteorites as food.

In about three seconds, Rayquaza descended, its enormous and imposing body appearing before all the spectators.

It was only at this moment that Qingyu suddenly began to understand the classic CG from the Gemstone series.

No wonder Groudon and Kyogre, who were locked in a fierce battle, immediately gave up and fled in disgrace as soon as Rayquaza charged at full speed towards them.

Seeing Rayquaza charging at you and you still not running away, what kind of person are you?

Only by witnessing the legendary Pokémon up close can one truly appreciate the insurmountable gap between them and ordinary Pokémon.

Moreover, Rayquaza only used "zero-frame acceleration" slightly; he didn't use any other moves yet.

If you were targeted by a legendary being whose activation speed is several times faster than sound, and whose casual dragon star clusters are comparable to giant meteorites, it would be really hard to muster the desire to fight it...

Qingyu looked at it with a slightly complicated expression.

While it's still unclear why Rayquaza appeared so openly over Tabletop City, it's safe to say it meant no harm.

It might even be related to me?

"road……"

Riolu looked at the black figure in the sky, his eyes narrowing.

That familiar feeling!
It was the expert who helped him and his trainer with the Dragon Star last time!
Compared to the fleeting glimpse of Rayquaza on the Little Key Path last time, Riolu truly felt what power meant when Rayquaza appeared before him this time.

Even the combined strength of Garchomp and Lucario would probably give them no more than a 20% chance of defeating this Rayquaza... It's completely out of the ordinary, far surpassing even the two Urshifu masters from the Isle of Armor Gym!

However, facing the power of legendary Pokémon only fueled Riolu's burning desire.

If only I could possess such power...

It will definitely become the most reliable helper for trainers.

"Buy?"

Compared to the fully prepared Riolu, Ibrahimovic's reaction was much calmer.

It could sense that this unfamiliar Pokémon was very friendly to it or its trainer, so it could be considered a friend, right?

This thing is so huge and impressive, it really deserves to be painted...

Unfortunately, I didn't have any drawing paper with me, so I could only remember its image in my mind.

Ibrahimovic couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Gah...?"

Rayquaza's appearance even put Milton on alert for a moment.

A powerful aura!
But after only a moment's hesitation, Millerton, who had poked his head out from behind the railing, quickly retreated and lay down on the ground, feigning death.

It's none of my business. I've already given up. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up!

I choose you, Trainer Aoba!

"..."

After turning his slightly complicated gaze away from the completely defeated Milton, Qingyu turned it back to Rayquaza in the air.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered—

Rayquaza's gaze didn't seem to be on itself, but rather on its little baby dragon standing on the railing, looking up at it.

"Hey!"

With only the graceful and magnificent figure hovering in the air in sight, Baby Dragon had no other thoughts but the longing to be able to soar freely in the sky.

I wish I could fly freely in the air like it when I grow up!
Perhaps it was because it sensed the pure belief of Baby Dragon, or perhaps it was just a whim, as before.

Staring at it with those dark golden eyes, Rayquaza quickly let out another loud bang.

Then, a strangely shaped stone was spat out of its mouth and slowly sent towards Qingyu under the guidance of an invisible force.

"..."

I noticed a small, round ball floating in front of me, with two particularly striking red and blue stripes.

(It looks something like this?)
Isn't this a Magatama Stone? Judging from the color inside, it really is a Salamence...

Qingyu was a little confused.

The Mega Evolution that appears in the XY series is a special phenomenon that occurs when the Mega Stone and Key Stone in front of you resonate and form a bond.

In the gem remake, there is also a theory that all Mega Stones seem to come from a mysterious universe and appeared in the present world through meteorite impacts.

So it's surprisingly reasonable that Rayquaza, who lives by eating meteorites, would have this thing.

Could this be some undigested food left in Rayquaza's stomach after it finished eating...?

As Qingyu reached out to accept the "mysterious gift" from Liekongzuo, the audience in the live stream and at the scene witnessed this moment.

[Shocking! Black Rayquaza actually made a secret deal with Teacher Yu in public?!]

[Dude, it's one thing for Teacher Yu to have connections with champions, but now even mythical beasts are coming to offer their apprenticeship gifts?]

Is this...right?
