...
After Deoxys fell asleep.
Rayquaza looked at Natsu and Darkrai.
'You dare interfere in my fight?'
A voice that sounded a little angry and very serious sounded in Natsu's head.
This was the first time he heard Rayquaza's voice.
"No, that's him." Natsu pointed at Darkrai beside him.
Darkrai: "…"
'Believe it or not I will remove the energy Barrier and leave you here?'
Rayquaza remained unmoved, still looking at Natsu seriously.
Natsu smiled shyly.
"Actually, Deoxys' goal is very simple. It just wanted to see its partner again. It does not bring malice."
Natsu looked serious as he spoke.
'Whether malice is needed or not, I fight or not, I have my own judgment and choice.' Rayquaza is still very tough.
Facing the power of Rayquaza, Natsu is determined to follow his heart.
"Okay, I apologize for that."
Moves towards Rayquaza and bows deeply, expressing his sincere apology.
He also doesn't want to interfere in Rayquaza's fight.
But if Rayquaza continues to clash with Deoxys here, what about Kyogre and Groudon down below?
Rayquaza looked at Natsu who was bowing.
Anger, who was distracted by the battle, didn't know how to vent for a while.
If Natsu wasn't Trainer Latios and had a very good relationship with Ono, I'm afraid Rayquaza would have eaten him in one bite without the slightest hesitation.
As for Darkrai?
Darkrai couldn't stop him.
After a long silence, what Natsu said earlier appeared in Rayquaza's mind again.
The anger in his heart seemed to find a way out.
'Did Groudon really say that?'
Hearing Rayquaza's voice again, Natsu's heart relaxed.
But Natsu quickly restrained his expression and thoughts, and said calmly and calmly: "Yes."
Rayquaza looked at Darkrai.
Darkrai was shocked.
But he noticed Natsu's wink, and subconsciously nodded.
After confirming the situation, Rayquaza's eyes flashed.
Wags his tail and moves rushing downwards.
Deoxys?
As long as it doesn't invade Rayquaza's territory, Rayquaza doesn't bother taking action against sleeping Pokémon.
"Wait a moment!"
Natsu shouted quickly.
'Ha?'
"Groudon has been blessed with special powers, and Kyogre is no match for him, you have been fighting for so long, I think you need to recover your stamina." Natsu said.
How long the battle between Rayquaza and Deoxys lasted, he didn't know.
But Deoxys' tiredness was visible to the naked eye, otherwise Darkrai wouldn't have managed to put him to sleep so easily.
Even though Rayquaza is much stronger than Deoxys, it is estimated that its consumption is not small.
Fighting three strong enemies in a row is definitely a challenge.
Don't think that Rayquaza can get rid of "Flyless" and "FatFish" with a casual shake of his tail.
By the way, how about some gestures to show respect?
Rayquaza's figure paused for a moment.
It seemed Natsu's words made sense.
It took so much energy to defeat Groudon that he didn't even know his mother.
And fighting Deoxys doesn't actually require much energy for Rayquaza.
But destroying space and maintaining the Space Crack, ensuring Natsu and the others could leave, consumed a lot of his energy.
See you.
Rayquaza suddenly opened his mouth, a circle of indigo light radiated from his body, and a large number of Meteorites seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, and moved towards Rayquaza's mouth.
Rayquaza digests and absorbs the energy within the meteorites.
This is also the most common way Rayquaza uses to eat and replenish energy, and it is very effective.
So as long as you fight outside the ozone layer or even outside the atmosphere, Rayquaza is hard to beat.
"Try this!"
Natsu throws out a box of Pokéblocks, which gets sucked into Rayquaza's mouth.
This was created specifically for when he was in a different space in Rayquaza. The main ingredients are spicy Razz Berry and Sitrus Berry which can restore physical strength.
This type of Pokéblock is not high-level, and its main function is to restore physical strength, and has little effect on Pokémon training.
However, it has one characteristic, namely that it is very spicy.
Rayquaza likes spicy food, which Natsu learned from the original canon.
The initial intention of making this Pokéblock was to please Rayquaza.
What should he do if he meets him in a different space and swallows himself again?
So Natsu took the time to create this Pokéblock.
Didn't expect not to use it in a different space, but did here.
A box of Pokéblocks is nothing more than a piece of meteorite that Rayquaza eats.
But the energy contained in it, as well as the specially created taste, are not comparable to meteorites.
After eating, Natsu could clearly see Rayquaza's eyes shining.
It seems that this Pokéblock really suits his taste.
Even.
The meteorites drifting towards Rayquaza gradually slowed down.
Rayquaza's eyes fell on Natsu again.
Even though the look said it all, he didn't speak.
Natsu couldn't help but purse his lips.
Arrogant dragon.
Natsy thought so in his heart, but she didn't show it on his face, not even a smile on his face.
"I have more."
After that.
Several Pokéblocks are thrown by Natsu.
Rayquaza's movements are sharper.
Stop eating meteorites and wait for the Pokéblock thrown by Natsu.
Darkrai, who was watching this scene, secretly tilted his head.
Can't bear to look straight.
How does this food throwing scene feel a bit like... cough cough.
With tons of Pokéblocks being thrown, Rayquaza continues to gobble them up.
Natsu didn't stop throwing out Pokeblocks, even though Rayquaza's energy was back to full strength now.
His organs not only absorb and convert energy, but also store it.
Slowly.
Natsu and Rayquaza got closer as they moved.
Natsu didn't feel bad at all.
The process of making this Pokéblock is simple, it stands out spicy and rich in energy, but consumes few Berries.
For him who consumes a lot of Berries every day, Rayquaza's food is at most ten days' worth of Snorlax.
Sprinkle water.
But that's all.
Rayquaza's red circle around his mouth was shallow at first, why did it seem to become more obvious?
'Enough.'
Rayquaza's voice finally came out again.
Still need face, almost enough to eat half full.
Natsu stopped firmly.
Okay.
Only spent a third of the amount he prepared.
He thought Rayquaza would eat at least half of it.
Hiccup--
A full on hiccup came, which caught Natsu a little off guard.
Natsu's eyes stung a little from the strong spicy smell.
'Let's go.'
"Oke!"
This time Natsu didn't say no.
It had been a while since eating, but it took him quite a while to find Rayquaza, and he didn't know what was going on.
Darkrai touched Natsu's shoulder and motioned him to come back.
Rayquaza frowned.
With a slight shake of his tail, he carried Natsu and Darkrai right on his back.
'Too slow.'
Natsu, sitting on Rayquaza's back, his hands rested on his smooth crystalline emerald green scales.
Is this riding a Rayquaza?
Rayquaza seems quite talkative too.
Before Natsu could react, he suddenly felt a very scary feeling of falling.
Natsu had no doubt that he would have flown straight away if not for the invisible air current pushing him behind his back.
It's more exciting than a roller coaster or something.
In just a few blinks of an eye, they returned from outer space to the world of Pokémon, and felt gravity again, and the feeling of falling became more and more obvious.
Meanwhile, Natsu is on the scariest "roller coaster" in the Pokemon world.
Rayquaza's somewhat complicated voice sounded again.
'Take care of the two little ones.'
The tone is complicated.
There are many inexplicable emotions mixed in it.
This was the first time Natsu felt Rayquaza's helplessness, and a hint of satisfaction.
The joy of being able to ride Rayquaza slowly disappeared.
Natsu, on the other hand, felt a lot of pressure.
Eventually.
Natsu finally finds out where Latios and Ono are from.
That's right, Ono.
Natsu was now almost 100% sure that Ono was Latias.
Although he didn't know why she became the way she was now, he didn't know why she didn't realize that she was also a Pokemon, and he didn't know if she could change back.
But Natsu solemnly said to Rayquaza: "I will."
From the corner of Rayquaza's eyes, he glanced at Natsu with a serious face at his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
The next second.
The speed increased sharply again.
Natsu's face stiffened, and he lost control of his expression again.
Bluish and white.
He definitely had reason to suspect that Rayquaza was just looking for an opportunity to "get revenge" on him.
His "revenge" replaces Rayquaza, gaining Latios and Ono's closeness.
What nonsense is there to talk about.
What is achieved by riding Rayquaza.
It's all a lie!
Don't look at this Pokemon that big, he is not only arrogant, but also considerate!
Tsundere Rayquaza.
Natsu silently marked it in his mind.
But there is one thing to say.
Rayquaza is very fast.
Of course, it can't be ruled out that Rayquaza intentionally increased his speed to "punish" Natsu in some small way.
It took a long time for Latios and Darkrai to fly into space, and only moments before the silhouettes of Groudon and Kyogre were visible below.
Oh.
Kyogre was led to the ice again.
Kyogre had never experienced such a big complaint.
In the past, Kyogre was evenly matched and it was difficult to decide the outcome. Now, because external forces have enhanced Groudon, and without the Primal form, Kyogre is impaled by the "Precipice Blades".
Groudon roared towards the sky, and a large amount of lava shot out from his feet, like a huge volcano erupting in the sea.
Seeing Groudon's flamboyant look, Rayquaza narrowed his eyes.
"Look! It's Rayquaza!"
Finally, the Reporter notices Rayquaza rushing over.
"It really is Rayquaza! Rayquaza is here!"
"Very cool!"
"Wait, did you notice, look at Rayquaza's back, yeah, isn't there someone?"
"There is someone!"
"Who's that?!"
"…"
The collision between Groudon and Kyogre has caught the attention of the entire Pokemon world.
Many powerful Trainers in the Territory rushed to hear the news.
But even people from the Johto Region and Kanto Region, which were closest to the Hoenn Region, couldn't arrive that quickly, so most of them could only pay attention to the live broadcast from the Reporters.
Journalists take risks.
But they also let their respective TV Stations make a lot of money, and let those who care about these events get first-hand news.
At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast on the Internet, while feeling that the two Pokémon were strong, and worrying about when they could end the battle, became excited when they saw Rayquaza appear.
Of course.
As the camera moved, many people noticed the figure on Rayquaza's back.
Darkrai, and Natsu, who were covered in thick Mist, but were blown away by a certain air current so that only human figures could be seen.
Despite not being able to see it clearly, its outline was unstoppable.
Meanwhile...
...
...
Kanto Region.
Lance rode the Dragonite to the Hoenn Region, watching the live broadcast on the phone, the enlarged Rayquaza, and the figure on Rayquaza's back.
"en? Holding the hat."
Lance didn't know that, but how did the action of holding the hat feel so familiar?
...
...
In the highest class classroom at Silver Academy.
Lorelei, who was watching the live broadcast of the projection, and listening to the discussions of the students around her, held her glasses.
"Holding a hat?"
...
...
Hoenn Region.
Steven was at the end of the office rescue meeting held by Devon Corporation, watching the screen on the computer, couldn't help but rub the ring on his index finger.
"Hat?"
...
...
Sinnoh region.
Professor Rowan's Laboratory.
Shirona, who sat with Professor Rowan and Professor Birch, also took part in the event.
Seeing the familiar movement of holding a hat, she couldn't help but mutter: "Natsu?"
As the person who has the best relationship with Natsu, some of Natsu's habits are still relatively understandable.
They didn't know what the hat was, but the act of holding the hat reminded them of Natsu.
Of course.
They only thought about Natsu, but they didn't think this person was related to Natsu.
After all, there are many people in the Pokemon world who like to wear hats.
They just think this action is a bit familiar.
Several people had thoughts in their hearts almost at the same time, and they themselves were rejected at the same time.
Even though Natsu is powerful, will he be able to relate to Rayquaza?
...
...
Back to Natsu.
"Rayquaza, I think you should put me down..."
Before Natsu's words could finish, he saw a rich emerald green aura on Rayquaza's body, and envelope Natsu within as well.
Then another speed spike.
Dragon Ascent!
Feeling the "Dragon Ascent" from Rayquaza's back.
He's probably the number One person in the entire Pokemon world by far.
Groudon, who was still roaring earlier, suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Then Rayquaza grew bigger and closer to his eyes.
Groudon: According to usual practice, shouldn't we talk first, then we're not sure, then you move?
Rayquaza: Reconcile your sister!
Kyogre: It's open, beat it!
bang! !
Sea water and lava gush several hundred meters high.
Just ask.
How much great power can a "Dragon Ascent" and Rayquaza full of falling speed from the atmosphere be able to exert?
Groudon: Stop talking.
Besides Drake, Brandon, and Norman, they were still lamenting Rayquaza's appearance a second ago, and the reliability of Drake's friends.
In the next second, due to the impact of the shaking, they had to make every effort to intercept the surging waves and lava.
But look.
Rayquaza took off again, floating through the air.
As Groudon fell into the sea, the golden lines on his body had disappeared and returned to its original appearance.
At times like these, it's time for Rayquaza to cleanse Kyogre.
But Rayquaza turned around, used "Dragon Ascent" again, moved towards Groudon in the sea and rushed up.
"Groudooonnn-!!"
Groudon slapped the ground reluctantly, and a fiery red stone pillar suddenly appeared.
But not yet fully formed, it cracked quickly under Rayquaza's "Dragon Ascent".
bang!
The sea breaks again.
Then there it was.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, Kyogre on the ice beside him swallowed quietly.
After venting his anger, Rayquaza stood up with satisfaction and glanced at Kyogre on the ice beside him.
"Rayyy-!!"
A terrifying roar.
Kyogre's nose wrinkled, inhaling the spicy scent in the air.
