Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 189 A World-Destroying Divine War: Rayquaza vs. Celestial Pillar! (4k)

At this moment, Groudon roared, and the volcanic peaks on its back lit up with a dazzling red light, spewing out countless huge chunks of lava burning with raging flames, like meteors falling from the sky!
Every collision between the blue torrent of energy and the orange-red lava unleashed a devastating shockwave!

The seawater was instantly evaporated, forming large swaths of white mist, which were then torn apart by subsequent energy.
The sky was half dark blue and half fiery red, with thunder and rain intertwined, resembling the chaotic scene at the beginning of the world!

The defenses of Sootopolis City have long since crumbled. The island trembles in the aftermath of the two legendary Pokémon, with new cracks constantly appearing on its surface and huge rocks sliding down the mountainside and plunging into the boiling sea.

This is no longer a battle, but a manifestation of natural disaster, a clash of natural laws!
Cynthia stared blankly at the battle scene on the screen, which far exceeded her imagination. Even through the screen, she could feel the power that could make any life despair.

She finally understood the end of the main storyline of the game "Emerald". This was no longer a trainer adventure like gym battles or league tournaments. This was the real... saving the world!
But now... what should I do?
As she watched the apocalyptic scene on the screen, Cynthia's heart sank deeper and deeper.

The tsunami unleashed by Kyogre nearly submerged Sootopolis City, while Groudon's intense heat continuously evaporated the seawater, creating billowing, scalding steam. Every clash of moves between the two legendary Pokémon caused earthquakes and violent energy explosions; even bystanders could feel the terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart.

"No, if this continues, not only Sootopolis City, but the entire Hoenn region might be destroyed!" Daigo's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety as he stared intently at the center of the battlefield. "We have to do something to stop them!"

Before he even finished speaking, he acted decisively. He swung his arm and threw a Poké Ball: "Please, Gyarados! Stop them!"

A flash of light, and the colossal Gyarados appeared on the ravaged shore. Facing the two god-like behemoths, it let out a deafening roar, showing no fear. Immediately afterward, Lance revealed the Key Stone on his wrist, resonating with the Mega Stone carried by Gyarados!

"Gyarados, Mega Evolution!"

A dazzling light enveloped Gyarados, and its form underwent a dramatic change within the light, becoming even more ferocious and imposing!

Mega Gyarados roared, surrounded by a violent flow of energy, and charged fearlessly toward the heart of the battle between Groudon and Kyogre like an arrow released from a bow!

Cynthia held her breath. The energy fluctuations emanating from this Mega Gyarados were extremely powerful, definitely exceeding the Champion level, that legendary realm, and even she felt immense pressure.

However, its rivals are Groudon and Kyogre!

Mega Gyarados didn't even get close to them. Just as it rushed into the edge of the clash between the two ancient Pokémon, an invisible, terrifying energy shockwave, a mixture of extreme water pressure and earthquake waves, suddenly spread out like a tsunami!
"Roar—!" Mega Gyarados let out a painful cry. Its massive body, capable of destroying mountains, was like a small boat overturned by a gale in the face of this pure natural force. It was thrown away without any resistance and crashed heavily into the ruins in the distance, exiting its Mega Evolution state and losing its ability to battle.

Lance quickly recalled it into its Poké Ball, his face filled with shock and helplessness.

Cynthia felt a deep sadness as she looked at the scene before her.

Even the mighty Mega Gyarados couldn't get close; it was simply knocked out of its battle ability by the aftershock of the power!

Just how terrifying is the power of these two legendary Pokémon?
Is this really something that trainers can compete with?
Just as she was pondering a solution with a heavy heart, Daigo suddenly patted her character's shoulder and said urgently, "Strawberry Ice Cream! Leave this to me for now! Someone wants to see you; he might have a way to resolve the current crisis! Go quickly to the Awakening Temple at the top of Ryukyu City and find him deep inside! Hurry, time is running out!"

Juexing Temple?
Cynthia, controlling her character, looked up and saw a cave entrance shrouded in strange light at the highest point of the island of Sootopolis. It seemed to be the entrance to the Temple of Awakening.

Although filled with doubts, we cannot let go of any glimmer of hope.

She nodded immediately, maneuvered her character away from the battlefield, and raced towards the temple on the mountaintop.

The so-called Awakening Temple is actually more like a huge, naturally formed cave.

Unlike the chaotic scene outside, which seemed to be collapsing and splitting the earth, the moment you stepped into the cave, everything became instantly quiet. A light white mist filled the cave, and the air was fresh and moist, as if you were completely isolated from the world.

Cynthia carefully maneuvered her character forward. Stones embedded in the cave walls emitted a soft white light, illuminating the path ahead.

She noticed that many strangely shaped Pokémon she had never seen before were floating in the mist. Their bodies seemed to be made of symbols, silently suspended in the air, shimmering with a faint light.

"What... Pokémon is this?" Cynthia looked closely at the screen; these Pokémon gave her a very ancient and mysterious feeling.

Occasionally, scattered gems emitting a pure red or blue light can be seen on the cave floor; these gems seem to contain some kind of special energy.

She didn't linger, continuing deeper into the cave along its only path. The deeper she went, the thicker the fog seemed to grow, and the more symbolic Pokémon appeared. Finally, at the very back of the cave, a figure dressed in a magnificent gown, with their back to her, came into view.

When the figure slowly turned around, Cynthia was slightly taken aback.

This is an "acquaintance" she knows—Mikoli.

But the Mikoli in front of her had a subtle difference in temperament from the champion she knew in real life.

In this game, Mikoli's eyes are more profound, carrying a sense of world-weariness and wisdom.

"You've arrived, my destined one," the game character Michael said, his voice gentle and steady. "I am Michael, and I was once the Gym Leader of this Sootopolis City. However, due to some other reasons, I did not continue in this role and passed the position to my teacher, Adam."

He paused, then cut to the chase, pointing to the tremors and energy fluctuations outside the cave that could be felt even here: "The two Pokémon causing this catastrophe outside are Groudon and Kyogre. They are both legendary Pokémon from ancient times, representing the primal power of the earth and sea. Their battle has been going on since ancient times. Ordinary power simply cannot stop them."

Cynthia listened quietly, knowing the important part was yet to come.

Mikuri's gaze drifted into the distance as he continued, "However, the legendary Pokémon of the ancient times are not limited to just these two. In the ancient legends, there exists an even more powerful being, residing high in the sky, the absolute king of the heavens, and hailed as the strongest dragon. In the distant past, it was this being that quelled the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, restoring peace to the world."

The king of the sky... the strongest dragon...

Mikkuri slowly uttered the name: "Its name is Rayquaza." Rayquaza!
Upon hearing those three words, Cynthia's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning! Her fingers on the keyboard tightened involuntarily.

coming!

How could she forget that name? The green figure she witnessed in that small village during her childhood, slicing through the sky and shattering a meteorite, that goal that inspired her and ultimately led her to become a trainer... that's also why she plays this game.

She had been searching for Rayquaza, hoping to see it again, but she never expected that she would have the chance to see it again in this way.

In an instant, Cynthia finally understood why the cover of this game called Emerald featured Rayquaza's majestic appearance!

Because it is the key to resolving this ultimate crisis in the main storyline! Rayquaza is the only key!
So, what I need to do next is to find and awaken Rayquaza!
Mikoli looked at Cynthia's character and seemed to understand something from her silent reaction.

He stretched out his hand, holding a precious orb that emitted a soft green light in his palm: "Take this and go to the skies above Twilightwater. There is an ancient ruin there called the Sky Pillar. Rayquaza slumbers there. Use this emerald orb to awaken it. Only the power of the Sky King can quell the conflict between the land and the sea and restore peace to the world."

Cynthia, controlling her character, accepted the green orb imbued with mysterious power. Still harboring doubts, she couldn't help but ask through the dialogue, "Why me? Wouldn't it be more reliable if you or Mr. Daigo went?"

Mikuri shook his head slightly, a complex smile on his face: "Because of an ancient prophecy passed down among the people of the Glass. The prophecy says that when Groudon and Kyogre awaken again, and the world faces the crisis of being submerged and expanding, a destined person will appear. He may still be a child, but he possesses extraordinary courage, great strength, and unwavering determination."

“At first, I didn’t completely believe the prophecy either… but today, after witnessing that devastating battle with my own eyes, I understand that what the prophecy said is true.”

His gaze fell on Cynthia's character, his tone filled with trust: "And you, appearing before me at this crucial moment, have shown your strength and responsibility. Perhaps only you could have done this. I entrust this to you, my destined one."

Upon hearing this, Cynthia did not hesitate any longer. She turned and left the area filled with white mist.

Stepping out of the cave, the scene outside was still chaotic, with scorching sun, torrential rain, and thunder and lightning.

Cynthia immediately opened the map, located the town of Twilight, and used the Fly spell to quickly fly towards her destination!
As you traverse the chaotic sky, the scenes on the screen rapidly shift.

Twilight Town is a tranquil town built on water, a stark contrast to the apocalyptic scene of Crystal City, as if the chaotic forces had not affected it.

Cynthia did not linger in the town, but flew directly into the seemingly empty sky above it.

Sure enough, a colossal, dilapidated stone pillar that pierced the sky suddenly appeared before our eyes!

This is the Pillar of Heaven!
Unlike the mysterious tranquility of the Awakening Temple, the Sky Pillar gives people a feeling of being incredibly ancient and desolate.

The pillar itself is made of huge rocks, but many parts have collapsed, covered with cracks and moss, and the path to the top is broken and dilapidated, with some places requiring careful jumping over broken gaps.

Cynthia controlled her character and stepped inside the Sky Pillar. It was very quiet inside, with only the whistling of the wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks.

Inside, there is a narrow, spiraling passageway, with some indistinct ancient murals carved on the walls, seemingly depicting a figure soaring through the sky.

Unexpectedly, Cynthia had an unusually smooth journey without encountering any wild Pokémon, as if this ancient ruin had long been forgotten and cleared away.

Cynthia carefully maneuvered her character, jumping and climbing upwards along the dilapidated passage.

As the altitude increased, the surrounding air seemed to thin out, and the view became wider and wider, allowing one to see the still chaotic sky outside through the windows of the stone pillars.

Finally, after a long climb, she successfully reached the very top of the Sky Pillar.

This is an extremely open platform, with the ground paved with huge stone slabs.

The sky was completely open all around, and the wind was howling.

In the center of the platform, a slender and enormous green figure sat quietly, as if it had merged with the entire stone pillar.

Its entire body is covered in streamlined green scales, with a red structure on its abdomen. Its body is slender, adorned with yellow ring patterns, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

Its eyes were closed, as if it were asleep, but even when it was motionless, its enormous aura, which seemed to merge with the sky, would inspire awe in any living being that saw it!

Rayquaza!

As Cynthia gazed at the sleeping dragon on the screen, her heart pounded wildly, her emotions surging.

That's it! It looks exactly like the figure in her memory who saved her hometown!
The legendary Pokémon she had been searching for all these years, longing to see again, appeared before her in such a clear way. Even though it was in a virtual game world, the shock and excitement were transmitted to her in an incredibly real way.

Her entire body, and even her soul, trembled slightly with excitement.

Just as she was overwhelmed with excitement and almost immersed in this wonderful coincidence, the "emerald pearl" in her character's backpack suddenly flew out of her control!
hum! ! !
The jewel floated in mid-air, emitting an increasingly intense green light, which seemed to have a life of its own as it flew toward the sleeping Rayquaza.

Under the light, Rayquaza's massive body twitched slightly.

Immediately after
It slowly opened its eyes!
