An elf, a genius scientist who traveled from the world of One Piece.

Chapter 258 Higana: The Best War

Sooto City is located in the south-central part of the Hoenn region.

With Sooto City as the center, the western part of the Hoenn region is bathed in sunshine, making the entire land almost scorching hot.

To the east, a torrential downpour was falling, as if a hole had been punched in the sky, with endless rain pouring down as if to swallow the world whole.

At that moment, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre roared deafeningly as they glared at each other.

Each region often has two opposing, mutually destructive deities.

The same applies to Dialga and Palkia from Sinnoh, the Black and White Dragons from Unova, and Xerneas and Yveltal from Kalos.

In Hoenn, it's Groudon and Kyogre.

Moreover, unlike the black and white dragons who are irreconcilable due to their conflicting ideologies, and the god of eternity and destruction.

Groudon and Kyogre are hostile to each other for no particular reason; they simply dislike each other, nothing more.

Perhaps the reason was too boring, so Rayquaza didn't feel guilty about beating him up.

"Was it still too late?"

Michael, who jumped off his Pelipper with Ruby, looked extremely grim.

His face was covered in water stains, but it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or cold sweat.

The moment Mikkuri finished speaking, Primal Groudon suddenly raised its arms, and its claws, gleaming with intense ferocity, slammed down on the ground.

Long! Long! Long!

A crimson blade, flowing with the same bright red magma as the original Groudon, rose from the ground and rapidly approached the original Kyogre, which was floating in mid-air.

Sword of the Precipice!

"Woo~"

Primal Kyogre used water tornadoes to maintain his flight in mid-air, gracefully circling around two magma blades, before several high-density water energy orbs of shimmering holy light condensed on either side of his body like floating cannons.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

In the next instant, these orbs of light transformed into laser-like beams and launched a counterattack against their nemesis.

Root fluctuation!

A new cliff sword also emerged from the ground directly beneath the original Kyogre.

The two sea and land gods simultaneously absorbed their nemesis's exclusive skill, took two steps back in unison, their eyes becoming even more fierce, and roared as they charged towards each other.

The entire city of Liuli was shaken.

"Everyone, stand back!"

Dan shouted and threw the Master Ball with all his might.

The sudden surge of immense energy drew the attention of the two sea and land gods, whose anger was already at its peak.

The last thing that could elicit such a reaction from them was that flying green caterpillar.

"It's the champion of the Dante team, Mugentana! Thank goodness! We're saved!"

Ah Jin said excitedly.

"But, Groudon and Kyogre's appearance..."

Safia, who was standing next to Naki, did not look much better after Mugentana's appearance.

As a Hoennian, she had heard many stories of these two gods fighting since she was a child.

After all, these two are too prominent; they fight every few hundred years, or even every few decades.

The appearance of the two sea and land gods at this moment was clearly different from what she had seen in the book.

Emptiness, emerging from its Master Ball, unleashed a chilling, deep purple venom from its tail. Accompanied by Trainer Leon's shout of "Cross Poison Blade," it slashed horizontally at the two deities opposite it.

"roar!"

Primal Groudon took the first step, letting the cross-shaped poison blade strike its chest, but in the next instant, it opened its arms and tightly embraced the lower half of Eterna's body.

Instantly, Primal Kyogre emerged from beside Primal Groudon via a water vortex, its silvery-white Arctic Beam already ready.

Freeze Ray!

The extremely cold beam was fired from a height of tens of meters above the sea surface, yet it turned the entire sea surface silvery-white with its chilling breath, demonstrating the power of this move.

Eternatus tried to dodge, but unfortunately, its lower body was held tightly by Primal Groudon.

The only option is to take this fatal blow head-on, as it is a counter to your elemental attributes.

"They actually teamed up!"

Dandi gritted his teeth.

Although first-level gods are generally thick-skinned and tough, taking this attack wouldn't immediately render Eternatus unable to fight.

But Dante had already realized that this battle would not be easy.

So what's going on with Groudon and Kyogre's current state?

This is different from the information provided by the Hoenn guild leader.

"Should we use Giant Transformation?"

Seeing that Groudon and Kyogre had surrounded Eternatus from the front and back, Leon frowned more and more and muttered to himself.

"It's best not to~"

The sudden sound drew the attention of the Alliance elites who had arrived in Liuli City.

"Sister Blue!?"

Ash and Gary shouted it out at the same time.

Xiao Lan stepped forward and explained, "Gigantification consumes a lot of energy, doesn't it? Even if you, Champion Dan, have the entire Marocmon Group backing you, you can't just waste it like that, can you?"

The Giant Transformation, to be precise, is to restore Eternatus to its original form from three thousand years ago.

Why did the Sword and Shield siblings fight him back then?

Isn't it because the Infinity Gigantamax Infinity has such a huge appetite that it almost drains all the energy from the entire Galar region?

While Eternatus can now also evolve into Gigantamax, it consumes a huge amount of energy each time it is used.

Only Leon had Rose backing him up; any other trainer, even if they obtained Eternatus, wouldn't be able to afford to feed him.

"The Rockets!?"

Naki, Huayue, and the others, who were not familiar with Xiaolan, instinctively reached out to grab the Poké Ball.

"No, no, no!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi quickly waved his hand and acted as a peacemaker.

Xiao Lan continued, "Sister Xijiana and Xijiana have already gone to summon Rayquaza, let's all stall for time."

After saying that, Xiao Lan released two Pokémon in one go.

Those were two new warriors she recruited in a place called Zone Zero after she took over the administration of the Padia region—Roaring Moon and Roaring Tail!

"Marie-chan, lend a hand!"

Xiao Lan turned around and called out to those behind her.

Then everyone noticed that not only Blue, but also an extremely cute girl wearing a Team Rocket uniform walked up.

Marie then released the two Pokémon she had previously used in her battle against Wallace and Ruby at Mt. Sacred.

The King of Devouring Food! Iron Neck!

"Wraith, Wraith Dragon and Hydreigon... but, but it feels a little different..."

Genji, the Dragon King, was utterly astonished.

Seeing Blue and Marie seemingly planning to join the battle, Naki bit her lip and couldn't help but ask, "You're from Team Rocket... why are you helping us?"

"To be honest, after learning what the Hoenn Alliance is up to, I also think you should go to a spa."

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and said irritably, "But... the general public is innocent, right?"

Upon hearing this, many elites of the Hoenn Alliance lowered their heads in shame.

"Everyone be careful!"

Dan Di gave a reminder from the front.

The crimson rock fell to the ground and then rose up again, sending Wuji Taina flying.

Even in its weakened state, the venomous dragon, still a full twenty meters long, flew towards them like a collapsing skyscraper.

Seeing this, Roaring Moon and Guzzlord, two heavyweight Dragon Pokémon, joined forces and caught Eternatus as it fell, much like Onoki caught a meteorite.

"Anyway, let's hold on until Sister Xijiana comes back!"

Little Blue waved and shouted, "Tail-chan! Wide-area combat power!"

Tail-chan is the name Xiaolan gave to her newly tamed Roaring Tail.

……

……

The Sky Pillar is a tower ruin located on an isolated island in the southeastern sea of ​​Hoenn.

"I remember now..."

After Siegfried and Salamence, who had recalled Noivern, stepped inside, they suddenly spoke.

After recognizing Xijiana, her previously sealed memories began to slowly awaken.

The murals in front of us, which record the history of the Meteor People over the past two thousand years, complete the final piece of the puzzle.

"Sister, go awaken Rayquaza, it was originally your Pokémon."

Higana was even more excited than when she herself became the successor.

After a moment of silence, tide Jiana nodded and climbed to the top of the Sky Pillar with Bu Bu.

Regardless of what the league has done to them, Groudon and Kyogre have now awakened.

My first and foremost task is to fulfill the obligations of a successor.

The top floor of the Sky Pillar is a place called the "Holy Dragon Altar".

"elder sister!"

Xijiana stepped aside and looked at her clanswoman with anticipation.

As tide Jiana walked to the altar, she slightly bent her knees, and brought her left hand, which had been modified by Su Sheng, and her right hand, which was in normal condition, together and pressed them against her forehead in a prayer gesture.

"O sacred jade and noble soul, grant me strength..."

"I am willing to use my own flesh and blood to initiate this sacred ceremony..."

"May you descend to earth and save the common people!"

"Rathalos!!"

The moment she called out the name of the Sky Dragon, the keystone on Shiogana's anklet flashed with an extremely dazzling green light.

Roar--!

A dragon's roar, emanating from beyond the heavens, enveloped the entire Sky Pillar. A emerald beam of light descended from the sky, leaving a clear trail across the night sky.

Boom!

The ground in front of the altar was covered in flying pebbles, and the impact caused the sisters' hair to fly wildly.

As the dazzling light faded, a green dragon looked down at the two sisters.

"Here it comes! Rayquaza!"

Higana waved excitedly.

It worked!

It worked!

After a full six years, my sister has summoned Rayquaza again!

Unlike her sister, tide Jiana didn't show the same excitement. Instead, she closed her eyes, as if communicating with the other person through telepathy.

"Do you remember me? Rayquaza."

After a long while, tide Jiana opened her eyes and asked.

"roar?"

After a long silence, a hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of the dragon seated in the sky.

That familiar aura… Could it be… But that’s impossible, she should already be dead…

"A lot happened after that."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

tide Jiana smiled slightly and lifted the cloak covering her body.

When Liekong Zuolong saw the changes in Xijiana's body, he was clearly dumbfounded. If he could speak, he would have already exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"Now, please help me fulfill my responsibility as the inheritor and save this world!"

Lie Kongzuo didn't say much; he had already sensed the presence of those two idiots.

come on!

……

……

The battlefield of Liuli City.

Boom!

Lava pierced the earth and rose up.

Again!

Sword of the Precipice!

Roaring Moon and Iron Neck, two paradoxical quasi-gods, used their speed to dart between the magma giants.

The moment they confirmed that the target was within firing range, Xiao Lan and Mary gave the order simultaneously.

"Dragon Pulse!"

"Dragon Pulse!"

With a deafening roar, a violent explosion erupted in the center of Primal Groudon's chest.

"Did it work?!"

Seeing the thick smoke rising, Aysa exclaimed in surprise.

"Truly worthy of being one of the Joker's core subordinates..."

Mikoli glanced sideways at the two girls whose combined age was less than 25.

Reaching championship level at such a young age, the Rockets... truly have a wealth of talent.

The smoke had dissipated slightly but not completely, and the primal Groudon's ferocious, angry face had already appeared.

"He's so thick-skinned!"

Little Blue cupped her face in her hands and exclaimed.

Boom!

Just after the shout, a sound like a spatial tremor suddenly came from the other side.

Bang!Bang!

A shiny Mega Metagross and a Mega Salamence fell into the sea in a sorry state.

They are Daigo and Genji's trump cards.

Xiao Lan just returned Yuan Zhi's Salamence evolution stone to Yuan Zhi.

Even so, under the power of Primal Kyogre, the two Champion-level opponents still seemed too powerless.

Mary recalled the Gluttonous King, who had lost its fighting ability, and turned to say, "Little Blue, how about we let Jo..."

The situation was similar on the alliance's side. Seeing their members being eliminated one after another, Xiao Mao couldn't help but say, "If it weren't for the fact that we've already lost, we'd have to ask Brother Su Sheng for help..."

Rayquaza! Mega Evolution!

Before Mary and Xiao Mao could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up at the sky without prior arrangement.

Just as the dragon's shadow appeared, a divine light, even more intense than that of a normal Mega Evolution, surged from the body of the dragon that was swooping down from below.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre both raised their heads simultaneously.

Just then, the light of evolution dissipated, and MEGA Rayquaza sat atop the center of the two sea and land gods.

The three deities stand in a triangular formation, creating a world-famous painting.

Rayquaza...Mega Evolution?

The Hoenn trainers in the audience all gaped in astonishment.

Legend has it that it can even undergo MEGA evolution? This is the first time I've ever encountered this!

Shionna, standing on the back of the MEGA Rayquaza, became the focus of the entire battlefield.

Now, she must fulfill her responsibility as a successor.

"Dragon Star Cluster!"

tide Jiana shouted loudly.

Almost endless dragon-type energy condensed in Mega Rayquaza's throat, and in the next second, it tilted its head back and spat it out into the sky.

Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the sky.

The once pitch-black night sky was transformed into endless, faintly visible red shadows.

Just when everyone was wondering what it was.

Countless meteorites with fiery tails fell from the sky, and continuous, deafening roars echoed throughout the city, causing severe damage to the earth.

"No, is she really here to help?!"

Safia, finally regaining her senses, shouted a complaint.

Although Mega Rayquaza severely injured the two gods below with a single move, Safia suspected that Shiogana and Rayquaza were there to cause trouble, seeing the giant craters constantly appearing in Sootopolis.

Fortunately, the only saving grace was that the citizens were also evacuated in advance.

"You'd better not get that wrong; Rayquaza is here to protect this planet, not humanity."

Higana jumped off the back of the Salamence and walked up with a mocking expression.

"What kind of dragon is that!?"

Safia's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

She recognized him too.

"No, no matter what, with the power of Mega Rayquaza, we should be able to resolve this."

Upon seeing the arrival of the Shiokana sisters, Daigo's expression became uncontrollably somewhat guilty.

"Yes, after we resolve this matter, the next person we need to deal with is you."

Higana sneered.

Naki's eyebrows furrowed. "What did you say?"

Higanbana seemed to be channeling Doflamingo, her lips practically twitching into her eyes. "Isn't it amazing? Team Rocket, with its many legends and over a dozen Champion-level Pokémon, plus Mega Rayquaza, is now facing off against the Pokémon League, the corrupt organization that controls this planet. This is sure to be the biggest war since the League's inception... probably the biggest war since the birth of humanity, isn't it?"

……

Rumble...

Even the fierce attacks eventually cease. Shionara and Rayquaza, who had just completed their Mega Evolution, were panting heavily. The sweat dripping from their bodies was instantly vaporized by the Primal Groudon's signature ability, Termination Ground, and melted into the sunlight.

On the shattered earth, and above the giant hole where the seawater flowed backward, were the two sea and land gods, equally panting.

Everyone's attention was focused on the three deities, completely unaware that a golden ring was pointing directly at the battlefield from the outskirts.

On the other side of the halo, Su Sheng and his family seemed to be watching the battlefield as if they were watching a TV drama.

"That's impressive. It doesn't even have to be at a disadvantage against the enhanced Groudon and Kyogre."

Yi Shu said without blinking.

Are you blind?

Pear Blossom scoffed, "They're clearly too weak. The power of the Sky-Siding should be enough to crush those two. Xi Jiana has been asleep for six years and is definitely out of practice. It took her so long to recover."

Yi Shu looked at Su Sheng with a defiant expression.

Su Sheng nodded, indicating that Li Hua was right.

"Looks like it's the weakest of the three... What a pity."

Su Sheng commented.

In the original work, three Rayquazas were clearly mentioned. One of them fought two Deoxys and got beaten up. Rayquaza's only advantage seemed to be its high HP.

One of them is the Mega Rayquaza that defeated Steven's Shiny Mega Rayquaza and Alain's Mega Hydreigon in succession, and also beat up Primal Flying Gryphon and Mega Rayquaza that couldn't fly.

The last one is the black Rayquaza that cemented Rayquaza's status as the strongest dragon, dominating the battle of the gods in Kalos.

Of all the dogs, Xijia's performance was probably the most embarrassing.

That's normal, though. If you want to gain the approval of the latter two Sky Throwers, the level of the inheritor should at least reach that of Dan Emperor or even Sakaki. Even Dragon Crossing isn't enough.

"Asheng, look!"

Lulina suddenly pointed.

Su Sheng looked up.

Suddenly, a dazzling emerald green holy light erupted from the MEGA Rayquaza beneath Xijia's feet, raising its aura to a whole new level.

"Rayquaza...you...have you mastered that move?!"

tide Jiana asked in surprise, looking down.

Six years ago, when she first became a successor, Rayquaza didn't know this and needed a Keystone to evolve.

Mega Rayquaza turned his head slightly and tapped it gently.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Mega Rayquaza's swaying whiskers stand upright, forming a triangle with its torso.

In an instant, both the earth and the sea nearly collapsed under this force from the heavens.

Golden and emerald green dragon light shot down from the sky, which was the ultimate killing move of the Liekongzuo clan.

"The finishing touch!"
