Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

That's why his proposal was opposed by some cadres.

"Captain, we can't do this—you know Wakamune, right? His first battle to make a name for himself was against an older trainer who owned a Champion-level Pokémon, and he instantly defeated three of the opponent's Champion-level Pokémon!"

"Our pirate crew can't even muster a champion-level weapon right now."

"I don't know how that dark-skinned hero captured Ruozong alive, but with our strength, not to mention that Ruozong has many powerful subordinates, we can't even defeat Ruozong himself!"

The captain of the third division of the Jack Pirates spoke like this.

These words garnered support not only from the cadres who opposed the decision, but even those who agreed with Jack nodded slightly in agreement.

Although Ruo Zong was beaten so badly by Luo Ke, his terrifying suppressive power of his fast-paced offensive tactics was fully demonstrated against other opponents.

Even if they all attacked together, they couldn't beat them... I'm not exaggerating!

That's the absolute truth!

Jack knew this too, so when faced with his subordinates' rebuttal, he nodded slightly and then grinned.

"Yes, we can't defeat him with our strength alone—but what if we use our ultimate weapon?"

Upon hearing Jack's words, all the cadres fell silent.

These guys sat in two rows, like corpses or sculptures.

That's right, the Jack Pirates have the ultimate weapon, and it wasn't created in recent years, but rather during the peak of their pirate crew, when their captain was known as the Pirate King.

However, captains and officers throughout history, while maintaining such weapons, were reluctant to mention them too much.

This weapon represents the peak of Jack the Pirates' era, and also their greatest sins!

Every time I think of it, it's as if it's reminding all of them—you are the descendants of sinners, burdened with the destiny of atoning for the sins of your ancestors!

Jack was aware of this, but he felt it was time to use such a weapon.

"We have no choice."

"If Zong is too capable and has a strong will, the reason he hasn't found us yet is only because we've been hiding for a long time and made many preparations. But if he keeps looking for us, it won't be long before he notices something within a year at the latest."

"Yes, we have our reasons, and this is our way of atonement."

"But do you think that if Zong finds out about our situation, he will understand us or stop us?"

Upon hearing Jack's words, someone instinctively wanted to refute him, but he couldn't utter a word despite trying several times.

He also understood that Ruozong would not understand them.

It seems that such capable people are all exceptionally confident, just like their ancestors who committed great sins at the end of the Kingdoms period.

Without experiencing a crushing defeat, one cannot imagine the power of a god.

If their ancestors had not firmly believed that humans could indeed contend with gods, the war between the three gods might not have turned out the way it did.

The series of losses caused by this battle were all the fault of them!

This has forced them to take this extremely difficult path.

Looking at their expressions, Jack lowered his head, sighed deeply, and spoke again.

"So let's use it."

"Although our ancestors blew up the seven-colored meteorite they stole from the Sky People with one shot, we have now found a way to extract natural energy. If we fill it with natural energy from the sea, firing another shot is still no problem."

"As long as that Nagayoshi can lure Wakamune to the right position, we'll use this cannon, which once fired at the God of the Sky, to send him away in one blow!"

This time, no one objected.

Even though these officials remained silent, Jack understood that they were tacitly agreeing.

As for whether Ruozong deserved to die, they no longer wanted to think about such right and wrong.

They were originally a group of pirates, descendants of a group of sinners.

They're not exactly champions of justice!

so...

Jack clenched his fist silently.

Whether it's for atonement or for something else, Wakamune is blocking the way!

He has already found a way to die!

Just as his resolve was becoming stronger, a deep voice unfamiliar to everyone suppressed their heartbeats.

"Your plan ends here."

The sound was coming from right behind Jack.

But the overwhelming pressure made Jack stiffen up, and he didn't dare to turn around at all.

The cadres, however, could clearly see who was standing behind Jack.

But even so, they became even more hesitant to move.

Because that's... a hero!

A hero in black!

Rocco watched their reactions, completely unconcerned about their thoughts and emotions. He simply pulled out the chair next to Jack, crossed his legs, and sat down, speaking quite casually.

"Mewtwo, bring back their memories. Let me see what these guys are all about."

'OK. '

Before Jack could even refute Rocco's words, his consciousness had already left them.

With Mewtwo involved, they certainly couldn't possibly still have any secrets left.

Therefore, their plan appeared in the mental link of Luo Ke's team immediately.

Luo Ke also saw this plan.

"Help Kyogre, then let it overpower Groudon and Rayquaza to win quickly."

"To end the war between the three gods in this way, and then to be completely indifferent to Kyogre's intentions, even... and even plan to use this incident?"

Luo Ke laughed in exasperation.

If these guys don't understand that Kyogre's goal is to have the ocean engulf the land, then so be it.

But these guys have the most direct record of the battle of the three gods, so they can totally figure out Kyogre's purpose!

A small minority of them were truly insane, obsessed with atonement, believing that once the war of the three gods ended, their sins would be absolved.

Most of them were thinking that over the years they had developed many underwater bases similar to these submarines, as well as various technologies for living in the sea. If the land were swallowed up, they, with their advantages, could regain their former status as the 'Pirate Kings,' and might even go further!

As for how many people will die or how much order will be disrupted in the process... it doesn't matter!

These pirates wouldn't care about such things!

so...

"You all deserve to die."

......

10. Luo Ke drew the ace.

Luo Ke sentenced this group of people to death.

Meanwhile, the memories that Mewtwo had read were still being shared through the mental link, and the members of Rocco's team were gaining a deeper understanding of these guys.

However, with so many people, the total number of their memories was too enormous, so Mewtwo specifically selected the important ones when reading their memories.

For example, what they keep talking about is the sins of their ancestors.

Throughout the ages of the kingdoms, there has always been a group of people known as the Sky People. This group has guarded something called the Seven-Colored Meteorite for generations, and at the same time worships Rayquaza, who is the god of the sky.

It's unclear when this belief began, and no one knows exactly why those who initially converted from worshipping the Great God of Light to the God of the Sky did so.

In short, they exist, and through the rainbow meteorite, they can indeed make contact with Rayquaza to some extent.

In this situation, when Kyogre and Groudon awoke from their slumber and began their great battle, the Sky People intended to ask Rayquaza to sit down and stop the war from continuing.

It really can do that, right?

After all, according to the records of Jack the Pirates, the rainbow meteorite contains an extremely large amount of natural energy, and this natural energy is filtered.

Although not completely filtered, the violent feeling within it was much milder than that of ordinary natural energy.

Ordinary Pokémon can suppress this natural energy on their own after spending some time doing so, so the impact on Rayquaza would be even smaller.

If Rayquaza, which was injured but could still Mega Evolve and participate in the battle, was unharmed and had used the Rainbow Gem, then it should be able to end the battle quickly.

The war between the three gods will not turn out the way it did back then.

but...

The commotion caused by the Sky People's prayers first attracted not Rayquaza, but Pirate King Jack.

The Jack Pirates, who had noticed Groudon and Kyogre and were preparing to rush over, saw the Rainbow Meteorite and the Sky People praying to the gods.

Then...

Since his failure in the ruins of the Ideal King, Jack, who has always insisted that humans should not rely on gods, interrupted their ritual and set his sights on the natural energy within the rainbow meteorite.

The Sky People certainly wouldn't give it to them.

But even a pirate king is still a pirate.

If they won't give it to you, then we'll just take it!

The Sky People all perished in this process.

But it didn't work, it couldn't even buy them a little time.

After all, Jack was called the Pirate King despite being a pirate, so regardless of his character, his strength was absolutely undeniable.

After slaughtering the Sky People and installing the Rainbow Meteorite onto the ultimate weapon he had been forging, he confidently prepared to go find Groudon and Kyogre.

He wants to subdue the gods!

This is a declaration to all humankind on Earth—the era of rule by man has arrived!

It was during this process that he encountered Rayquaza, who had rushed over.

Although he knew that the Sky People were praying to the Sky God, he did not know Rayquaza at all. Rayquaza had first descended upon the Sky People's territory and, after seeing that all the Sky People were dead, followed the aura of the rainbow meteorite.

Therefore, it launched an attack on Jack the Pirates immediately.

In Jack's eyes, this was a crazed elf!

So, after being defeated, they decisively activated the ultimate weapon at its maximum power.

That shot shattered the rainbow meteorite in an extremely wasteful way, then converted a large amount of natural energy into an attack that genuinely injured Rayquaza, which had not undergone Mega Evolution.

This allowed several members of Jack's pirate crew to escape in the chaos.

They fled back to the sea people's territory, leading the remaining descendants of Jack the Pirates to disappear without a trace.

Rayquaza, filled with intense anger, rushed to the battlefield between Groudon and Kyogre.

After the descendants of the Jack Pirates gradually learned about Rayquaza's identity and the beliefs of the Sky People through their investigation, they understood the great sins they had committed!

Those who initially escaped from the pirate ship suffered genuine pain and lived with guilt for the rest of their lives.

And these few madmen who only want to end the sins are their descendants.

The majority of the remaining people have no real sense of this; they are simply those who believe that there will be profits to be made if Kyogre wins.

Even the current short Jack is more inclined to side with them.

'Hey!'

'So that's why Rayquaza was so hostile towards humans and me too!'

Necrozma sighed deeply, feeling that everything was connected again.

At this moment, Rocco discovered that even in the final moments when Mewtwo suppressed his consciousness, the little dwarf Jack actually had such an idea.

'Since you've accessed my memories, you must be able to see this.'

"Although I don't know what equipment you used to get down here, your equipment must be parked near the base. After all, even with equipment, humans can't move freely in such deep water."

"I don't know who you are, but since you've come to me, you must have a reason—let's talk."
