I caught a Pokémon

“Rayquaza? Deoxys!?” Higana frowned and looked at Xia You. “What’s going on? Did you cause this?”

She didn't doubt the truth of the matter, after all, such things could be easily found with a simple search, and she also believed that this man wouldn't use such a thing to deceive her.

“Of course.” Xia You nodded. “I’m telling you this for no other purpose than to let you know that I do have the opportunity to meet Rayquaza and the ability to defeat and capture it.”

Higana had no doubt about this.

In fact, she had already realized this during the battle when she captured Deoxys, but she didn't understand why this man was bringing it up now.

Is he here to show off?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Xia You said calmly, "If you help me summon Rayquaza this time, I can try my best to help you catch one as well, fulfilling the lifelong goal that you and your people have pursued!"

It has to be said that when Xijiana heard these words, she was indeed moved, and it was the kind of intense excitement that made her heart feel like it was about to jump out of her chest and that made her unable to control herself!

Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, she wasn't swayed by Xia You's words. Instead, she asked, "Since this is so simple for you, why do you need my help?"

Xia You looked up at the sky, feigning incomprehension, and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I just want to ask, do you accept this kind of deal?"

“A trade…” Higanbana pondered for a moment, but still did not agree. She simply said, “I don’t need your help. I can summon and capture Rayquaza myself, but I will give you a fair chance to compete.”

Oh?

Xia You looked at her with some surprise, not expecting that she would give up such an easy opportunity and choose to fight for it herself!

It seems he's quite confident in his abilities.

But this is good, it saves me the trouble of making another trip.

"What do you mean by fair opportunity...?"

In response to Xia You's question, Higanbana said, "I will summon Rayquaza, but as for who it chooses and who it will fight, that depends on our individual abilities!"

It turned out to be the case.

Xia You nodded. For him, this would indeed be risky, causing him to miss out on the possible black Rayquaza. However, considering the meteorite key he had just obtained, he was still confident that Rayquaza would choose him.

In other words, it's my luck to get it and my fate to lose it. If I really have no chance with Rayquaza, it's not a big deal. I'm already used to not having any shiny Pokémon, so I won't miss out on one!

"No problem, then please summon it."

"No rush." ​​After making the decision and reaching an agreement with Xia You, Xijiana had also calmed down. She walked to the stone steps to the side and sat down, saying calmly, "It's not the right time yet. We have to wait until it gets dark."

"Wait until it gets dark?" Xia You's heart skipped a beat. "Is there some other reason for this?"

Shaking her head, Higanbana said, "No, it's just that I have a higher success rate in summoning Rayquaza at night."

It turned out to be like this...

Xia You really didn't expect this reason.

But that's fine too. The more 'unreliable' Siganna is, the higher the chance of her summoning Black Rayquaza, in his opinion!

After all, it's metaphysics, so we should always respect it appropriately.

only……

I looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, but it was only noon, the hottest time of the day. It seemed like it would be a long time before evening.

Chapter 728 Battle against Black Rayquaza

They waited from noon until afternoon, then from afternoon until evening, and then from evening until late at night. Xia You had already eaten twice and had groomed her Pokémon. Finally, the opportunity that Xigana had mentioned arrived.

Stretching, Xia You put away all the Pokémon except Gardevoir and Dragonite, and walked to Sigana's side.

The sky was filled with stars, and a meteor shower streaked across the night sky, leaving long trails that looked spectacular and beautiful.

"So beautiful..."

Looking at this scene, Xiaoxia murmured to herself that such a view was rarely seen even during a trip. Even though she was just accompanying someone, climbing such a tall tower and seeing such a sight made the trip worthwhile.

The shooting star was indeed beautiful, but Xia You and Xijiana's attention was clearly not on it.

"It's about to begin."

Higana took a deep breath, then stood in the center of the altar, looked up at the deeper starry sky, and raised her right hand!

Almost simultaneously, the keystone wrapped around her feet emitted a green light, which traveled up her calves and eventually converged on her arms!

No one knows how she did it, but affected by this force, the green flames in the braziers in the corner instantly rose higher, shooting up more than a meter high!

Her cloak and hair moved without wind, and as Higana opened her palm, several round keystones lay there quietly.

The green light instantly enveloped the key stones. The next second, Sidana gripped the key stones tightly with both hands, raised them above her head, and shouted loudly towards the sky, "Rayquaza!!!"

This is what she calls the summoning method of the sacrificial stone, which is also a fusion of the unique secret techniques of the Meteor Dwellers by Higana.

The green light in her hand resembled a lighthouse, and almost simultaneously, a thick pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, hurtling towards the Dragon Altar!

Within the green beam of light, a long, narrow, twisted object could be vaguely seen being swept up and brought down along with it!

Roar!

A deafening roar came from the green beam of light. Even if you couldn't see who the voice belonged to, it was easy to tell from the familiar roar that it was Rayquaza, the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region!

Sure enough, when the green beam of light disappeared, a completely black Rayquaza appeared right in front of her!

It worked!

It actually worked!

Seeing that she had successfully summoned Rayquaza, although its color was significantly different from that of the regular Rayquaza, it only made Sigana even happier!

My method really worked!

Xia You was secretly pleased to see that Sigana had indeed summoned the black Rayquaza.

At least all my scheming and time weren't wasted!

The green light gradually dimmed, but the remaining light shone on the black Rayquaza, making it look so domineering.

Higanbana quickly opened her palm, revealing the several Keystones that were still faintly glowing green, which appeared as the black Rayquaza. She looked up at it with anticipation and fervor, saying, "Rayquaza, please accept my wish!!"

Summoning Rayquaza is not the ultimate goal.

The most important thing is to let it choose which one!

However, just as she finished speaking, the green light wrapped around Rayquaza disappeared, and at the same time, the green light wrapped around the Key Stone in her hand also vanished.

Not only that, the green flames that had been burning in the corner stone basin suddenly weakened and turned into tiny flames!

Looking at Rayquaza in front of her, and then at the dull Keystone in her hand, Sidja was stunned.

"They didn't choose me? This...why is that? I already..."

Just like the keystone in her hand, Higana's eyes instantly lost their luster, and at that moment, she suddenly noticed a light shining behind her.

She slowly turned her head and saw the meteorite keystone in Xia You's hand, emitting a dazzling light, as if calling out to something. Rayquaza's attention was obviously also drawn to the meteorite keystone, and it roared at the man.

"It reacted to the meteorite keystone...?"

Xia You looked down at the meteorite keystone in her hand, then looked up at Sigana and said to her, "It seems that Rayquaza has chosen me."

Upon hearing Xia You's words, Xijiana stared blankly at Xia You, her pupils dilated, seemingly lost in thought.

Xia You didn't provoke her. Instead, he slowly walked past Xigana and came to Rayquaza, leaving Xigana with only a cool back view.

Looking down at the black Rayquaza that was scrutinizing her from above, Xia You looked back at it, liking it more and more no matter how she looked at it.

Compared to the regular green Rayquaza, the black Rayquaza is undoubtedly cooler. Although its strength remains unchanged, it is impressive at first glance!

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he didn't hesitate and immediately took the high-grade ball that he had prepared beforehand.

"It's up to you now, Deoxys!!"

As he threw it with force, the Ultra Ball opened instantly, and his Deoxys appeared in front of Rayquaza.

It's quite obvious that this black Rayquaza is seeing Deoxys for the first time.

But from its aura, it also sensed the power of this Pokémon, and its cold eyes stared intently at Deoxys!

Compared to this black Rayquaza, Deoxys, having already encountered its own kind several times, has a much better understanding of this powerful opponent and is more adept at fighting it. Conversely, not every Rayquaza has the opportunity to battle Deoxys, and when facing an opponent of similar strength, a lack of understanding often leads to significant losses.

The two Pokémon are poised for battle, their fighting spirit constantly rising.

Seeing that Rayquaza was about to lose its temper and the battle was about to begin, Sidana, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up: "I..."

However, Xia You interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Xia You didn't turn around, but waved her hand with her back turned: "Let's talk about it after this battle."

He didn't know what Sigana wanted to say, but at this moment it didn't matter what she said. Black Rayquaza was right in front of him, and that was what he needed to focus on!

Higana hesitated, but in the end she just sighed, said nothing, and stepped aside.

Since he had made a bet with this man before summoning Rayquaza, he was very unwilling to accept this outcome, but there was nothing he could do but give the opportunity to someone else.

After defeating Sigana, Xia You turned her attention back to Black Rayquaza.

Come on, let me see what you've got!

"Deoxys, this battle is yours!"

At Xia You's command, Deoxys, which was floating in the air, suddenly moved.

It placed its hand on its core, and the energy that had been secretly gathering inside burst forth, shooting towards the black Rayquaza!

However, Black Rayquaza was clearly on guard against Deoxys's attack, and almost simultaneously, it also spewed out a powerful energy that collided with Deoxys's attack!

boom!

Under the cover of night, the energy unleashed by the two moves was dazzling and striking, radiating a dangerous beauty.

The probing attacks ended there, and as they charged toward each other, the close-to-medium-range battle officially began!

The commotion caused by two legendary Pokémon fighting like this was naturally quite significant. Above the Sky Pillar, they wrestled, entangled, and chased each other at a speed that was almost impossible to see!

Under Gardevoir's telepathic connection, Xia You was also constantly giving Deoxys guidance.

In fact, Xia You had commanded high-intensity battles before, but the current situation of these two Pokémon was quite special, and apart from limited guidance, he couldn't really get involved.

After all, most of their abilities are not displayed through fixed moves, which is both a blessing and a curse for Pokémon trainers.

The good thing is that Pokémon are so powerful that they are not bound by fixed ideas and can use their abilities at will. They don't have to follow fixed moves and can launch a surprise attack on their opponents, which is impossible to defend against.

The painful part is that, as a trainer, you should be able to strategize and plan, but in this situation, you can only give a general attack strategy and cannot give detailed commands like you would when commanding regular Pokémon.

This puts trainers in an awkward position.

Fortunately, Xia You didn't care about any of that. As long as he could win, defeat and capture the black Rayquaza, what did it matter if he let his Pokémon do whatever it wanted?

Moreover, he is not merely a spectator. Although he cannot direct Deoxys's every move like he can with other Pokémon, his extraordinary insight still allows him to discern Rayquaza's plans, enabling Deoxys to take precautions in advance.

For example, right now, after Black Rayquaza dodged one of Deoxys's attacks, it suddenly twisted its body and opened its mouth to bite Deoxys.

This was incredibly sudden, and the timing was impeccable. It was launched during a gap in Deoxys's attack, a defensive counterattack. It's easy to imagine that, given the similar strength of the two Pokémon, such a sneak attack from behind was almost guaranteed to hit.

Unfortunately, Xia You had been paying close attention to the black Rayquaza's every move and had already sensed its intention the moment it turned around!

Naturally, his thoughts were immediately transmitted to Deochis through telepathy.

Deoxys, as if it had eyes in the back of its head, didn't even turn its head and used Instant Transmission to dodge Rayquaza's sudden attack.

That wasn't the end of it. Deoxys teleported to a location right behind Rayquaza, and the attacker was caught off guard, getting hit directly by an energy ball!

Seeing Rayquaza let out a mournful cry, Misty below happily raised her right hand.

"Great! That's how you fight!!"

As one of Xia You's "own people" who cheered him on, even though this wasn't her own capture battle, and even if capturing Pokémon had nothing to do with her, Xiaoxia's mood would still soar with Xia You's advantage.

In contrast to her, Higana's feelings can only be described as complicated.

After she was rejected and not chosen by Rayquaza, she both didn't want this man to successfully capture Rayquaza, but at the same time, she also hoped that this man could capture Rayquaza.

It sounds contradictory, just like Higana's feelings at this moment.

But that's really what she thought.

Her reluctance to let Xia You capture Rayquaza stemmed from her selfishness as a human. If Xia You failed, she would be back on equal footing with him, giving her a second chance.

From a human nature perspective, her thoughts are in line with normal human thinking and there is nothing wrong with them.

But the contradiction is that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she really doesn't want to miss it. Even if she doesn't capture it herself, she doesn't want to see Rayquaza, which she summoned, leave so easily!

Moreover, no one has ever successfully captured Rayquaza before, even though this person is not a Meteorite and she herself had a very unpleasant experience with him. His strength is undeniable, so if someone can capture Rayquaza and accomplish this feat, she hopes that at the very least, it should be an outstanding trainer like him, rather than some unknown nobody who appears out of nowhere.
