Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Ancient Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre all carry some dragon blood, so using dragon-type moves is second nature to them.

Naturally, the damage from this Dragon Pulse should not be underestimated.

At the same time, Kyogre leaped high out of the water from behind Rayquaza, unleashing a beam of icy blue light that had been gathering power for a while. The chilling aura that emanated from it froze the waves along its path into ice in a very short time.

Fortunately, Rayquaza reacted quickly, and a stylish, sweeping tail whip ensured that the beam only barely hit its lower body near the tail.

"Ow—"

Rayquaza isn't made of iron after all; the [Dragon's Eye] skill it just used had the side effect of reducing both defenses.

Under the explosive impact of several Dragon Pulse attacks with the power of rockets, plus the damage from a solidly hitting Ice Beam, Rayquaza couldn't help but let out a low groan of pain.

The waves surged, and Groudon and Kyogre rose from beneath the surface of the sea on either side of Rayquaza, staring coldly at it.

Clearly, in the face of Rayquaza, these two millennia-old rivals temporarily set aside their grudges and chose to join forces to fight against this even more annoying guy.

…………

"Those two guys"

Lie Kongzuo snorted coldly, his tone like that of an old father angry with his two unfilial sons. If he weren't so well-mannered, he probably would have already been swearing by now.

Because of the spiritual resonance, Xia Chen, who was lying on the dragon's head, clearly felt the pain it had just experienced. He grinned and asked, "Do you need my help?"

While Groudon may not be able to defeat Groudon or Kyogre in a one-on-one fight at this stage, its entry into the battle would certainly have a significant impact.

If all else fails, you can secretly transform into Deoxys on the dragon's back.

It has to maintain Rayquaza's Mega Evolution state while also accommodating Deoxys's entry. I wonder if it can hold up.

"No, I can do it myself."

Perhaps because this was considered a "Hoenn family matter," Rayquaza stubbornly refused Xia Chen's help.

It increased its flight altitude to dodge two more attacks from the two Pokémon, and solemnly said, "By the way, let me tell you in advance that you may be under a lot of mental pressure in the future, so be prepared."

Xia Chen nodded, holding his breath.

Then, he experienced a terrifying spiritual force, as vast as a river, suddenly surging into the channel connecting his mind to Liekongzuo's.

It was like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers rushing into an ordinary stream or riverbed. The sudden, explosive force caused Xia Chen's head to throb with pain, but he managed to grit his teeth and endure it thanks to his strong willpower.

Beneath him, although the form of the Sky-Sitting creature did not change further, the golden light flowing around its body shone even brighter.

"Fur——"

A long cry sounded the horn for Rayquaza's formal counterattack.

Beneath the twin horns, a crimson-gold ball of light continuously expanded within the mouth of the Sky Thrower. From the angle below, the energy ball, with its terrifyingly high light intensity, resembled a small artificial sun.

The little sun expanded further and further, and the light it emitted became increasingly dazzling. Finally, when the ball of light expanded to its limit, the energy suddenly burst forth.

One after another, crimson-gold energy orbs plummeted rapidly through the turbulent airflow, their high-speed friction with the air igniting a layer of sparks on their surfaces, making them even more dazzling.

In an instant, the ball of light split into countless small fireballs, and the energy barrage transformed into a stunning yet extremely dangerous meteor shower that fell from the sky, indiscriminately bombarding Groudon, Kyogre, and the surrounding sea.

…………

The power of this meteor shower was astonishing. The shockwave from each shotgun explosion could create huge waves on the sea, not to mention the two elves at the center of the explosion.

Kyogre, which had just leaped out of the sea, repeatedly darted back into the water to avoid the attack, while Groudon curled up, trying to use its hard shell to cover its relatively vulnerable and soft chest and abdomen.

However, even with such cowardice, they still couldn't avoid much damage from the meteor shower.

Groudon and Kyogre were thrown back into the sea, one of them having barely managed to climb out, while the other was knocked up and rolled belly up, looking quite miserable and tragic.

However, Rayquaza had no intention of letting these two rebellious sons go. With a swift movement, its green body vanished from the sky in an instant.

The side effects of [Meteor Shower] greatly reduced its Special Attack, and naturally, Rayquaza's close-range "love lesson" followed.

The thick smoke from the explosion spread across the entire sea like sea fog. Groudon and Kyogre sensed the impending danger and cautiously looked around.

Suddenly, a streak of blue light shot out from the thick fog and rushed toward Kyogre, whose small eyes revealed great panic.

It foresaw Rayquaza's attack, but it couldn't change anything, because the moment it sensed the danger, Rayquaza was already upon it like a drawn sword.

Speedy!

Rayquaza, who was already capable of supersonic flight, experienced a terrifying increase in speed with the boost from [Godspeed] energy.

Although it is certainly far from the speed of light, it is almost an insurmountable limit for life on Earth.

Extreme speed inevitably brings extreme impact.

boom--

The moment the two ancient Pokémon made contact, Kyogre's massive body, weighing tens of thousands of tons, was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

Not far behind it was Groudon, who was even more caught off guard.

It stared blankly at the azure body that was cutting through the towering waves and rapidly approaching it. Before it could even make a move, it was violently slammed into by Kyogre's massive body and sent flying through the air in a graceful arc.

In a way, it can be considered a temporary fulfillment of its small dream.

…………

"What kind of monster is this?"

On several helicopters, the champions watching this legendary battle all expressed similar sentiments.

Simply put, Rayquaza's combat power was simply too overwhelming.

Groudon and Kyogre, which are virtually impossible for humans to deal with, are no different from two punching bags in front of it.

"What should we do? Should we still go help them?"

Amidst a chorus of admiring exclamations, Bonnie asked this question.

"Help? But going there is the biggest help we can give. Rayquaza might not even know we're going to help it. If it gets attacked indiscriminately, even just the aftershocks of its attacks, who among us can withstand that?"

The one who responded was Hua Yue, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. Seeing that the disaster had been effectively contained, he resumed his carefree and irresponsible demeanor.

However, his words were not without reason. As for the meteor shower and the incredible speed just now, anyone who got close would definitely be annihilated by the energy shockwave.

A silence fell over everyone, seemingly agreeing with Huayue's idea. However, Mikoli suddenly said, "Not necessarily."

Hua Yue raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? You think you can withstand the aftershocks of its attacks?"

Of all those present, only champion Claude could probably achieve that level of skill, and even then, it would likely be extremely difficult.

Mikkuri shook his head. "I mean, Rayquaza might be able to distinguish friend from foe."

Naki, standing beside her, couldn't help but retort, "Are you dreaming? Rayquaza recognizes you?"

"I don't recognize it."

Mikoli shrugged and then said, "But the person sitting on top of Rayquaza recognizes me."

The person sitting on top of the Sky Throne?

Everyone stared in astonishment at the distant horizon.

At sea, thick, impenetrable smoke still lingered, and the slender, blue figure appeared and disappeared within it, mysterious and unpredictable.

Perhaps due to the anchoring effect of prior psychological suggestion, they seemed to actually see the figure that Mikuri had described above Rayquaza's head.

"Who is that? A Meteor Dweller?"

Furong couldn't help but ask.

Mikoli, however, gave a mysterious smile, like a riddle teller.

"He is a person who has repeatedly created miracles."

…………

"Roar--"

"Woo——"

Groudon and Kyogre are truly tough and resilient. Even after being hit by Rayquaza's series of attacks and being almost powerless to fight back, they were still able to let out a powerful roar.

However, compared to the initial outward anger and inner weakness, the current roar seems to indicate that he has realized he can't win, but he is still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.

What can you do when faced with such a naughty child?

Let's beat them up!

Rayquaza's figure flashed by, rushing straight towards the spot where the two brothers had been blasted away by lightning speed.

Swift as lightning, once again we see incredible speed!

Amidst the turbulent airflow, the sharp, cyan longsword was drawn once more, but this time the impact was much weaker.

However, this is not because Rayquaza held back, but because something even more powerful is yet to come.

As Rayquaza flew at incredible speed close to the sea surface, an even more intense dark green light was quietly expanding on its claws.

In just a few milliseconds during the flight, the phantom of the dragon claw, constructed of energy, suddenly grew to tens of meters in length!

Groudon and Kyogre, having just regained their footing, had a hint of fear in their eyes and frantically fired two beams of energy in an attempt to defend themselves.

In desperation, Groudon used Solar Beam, which Rayquaza could resist four times over. However, the situation was critical, and he couldn't pay attention to the details.

The interplay of emerald green and azure light created a chilling aura.

Faced with the combined resistance of these two arch-enemies, Rayquaza showed no sign of pausing or changing course, and charged forward without hesitation, wielding its enormous energy dragon claw.

boom--

The aftershocks of the clash were earth-shattering, the seawater churned and swayed erratically, and the already turbulent airflow became even more violent, significantly affecting several helicopters in the distance.

If it weren't for the keen sense of danger and timely intervention of the Heavenly Kings, the plane might have been destroyed and everyone on board would have perished.

Here, the helicopter swayed in the storm of energy aftershocks; over there, the battle between Rayquaza and the two gods had already reached its conclusion.

After only a two or three-second standoff, the dragon claws, which had grown even longer, cleaved the two terrifying energy beams in two with unstoppable force, slamming them down on the two elves behind them.

boom--

The explosion boomed like muffled thunder between the water and the sky, followed by the familiar symphony of heavy objects falling into the water and waves crashing against it.

The dragon claw, which had swelled to almost half the size of Groudon, descended from the sky and mercilessly suppressed the two Pokémon beneath its grasp.

The sea surface churned for a while before returning to calm. This time, Groudon and Kyogre were unable to rise from the water for a long time.
