Chapter 653 Changes brought by Maxie

...

Slowly returning from the ozone layer to the atmosphere of the Pokemon world.

Humans and normal Pokémon shouldn't be there, and the Psychic drain on Natsu is a bit too scary.

"Where's Rayquaza?"

Natsu looked around.

They return, but they don't see Rayquaza's silhouette.

Without Rayquaza, Drake and the others, who tried to stop the fight from escalating any further, might not have survived.

With the destructive power of Groudon and Kyogre, even the aftermath of the battle can create chaos in the Hoenn Region, including the sea areas near the Hoenn Region.

'I don't know.'

Darkrai wasn't sure where Rayquaza had gone either, just a furrowed brow and a look down.

If these two Pokemon kept causing trouble, wouldn't it be useless to remind Natsu first?

Although Darkrai sometimes throws entire human territories into nightmares, including Pokémon, it is a defensive measure, not a deliberate act of hostility.

Thick darkness spread around him, and he was ready for battle.

"Are you going down?" Natsu asked frowning.

Darkrai didn't answer, but with the accumulated energy, his blue eyes fell on Groudon and Kyogre.

As the height dropped, the energy fluctuations stirred up by Darkrai also attracted the attention of Drake below.

Without realizing it, he looked up...

Tight and frowning.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't fully see what it was.

But Darkrai and Latios, he knew.

It's just that Natsu who was standing on Latios' back was only a faint shadow, and his appearance was not real.

But for him, knowing that Natsu had Latios, being able to recognize Latios was enough.

"Natsu? He returns?!"

Drake's heart was filled with joy.

If Natsu really couldn't come back from Rayquaza space, it would make him feel guilty for the rest of his life.

After all, to some extent, Natsu touched the Jade Orb, which was also considered to be given to him by him.

Now that Natsu was back, the guilt was much better.

But it's tight and the heart sinks.

Natsu arrives and is nowhere to be seen with Rayquaza.

Are they really alone?

No one could predict what this Hoenn Region and Sea Region would become in the end.

Even not just the Hoenn Region, other Regions will definitely be affected more or less.

Drake watched Natsu, and of course Natsu continued to stare at the battle below.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Drake wouldn't have noticed if Darkrai didn't do anything.

But now that Drake has seen him, it seems a bit unreasonable not to come down and say hello and tell him about Rayquaza.

Under the circumstances that so many Journalists risked their lives to shoot, he went like this, and tomorrow the whole world will know that he has Latios.

Originally, with Natsu's current strength, it shouldn't be a big problem even if he didn't hide Latios.

But he was being stared at by Ryuichi Hoshino at the moment.

With Latios, the lack of protection will make Elite level Trainers who were originally hesitant and did not dare to look for trouble under Agatha's pressure will start to take risks.

After a bit of hesitation, Natsu said to Darkrai, "Help me."

Not long.

Below are many cameras which have extended the distance and ensured his own safety.

Drake, who pushed Salamence, Altaria, and Flygon to fight Groudon, only had the power to parry, but no chance to fight back.

Even as Groudon's recovery improved, Drake seemed reluctant to parry.

After all that Groudon, even though his strength has not fully recovered, is still a bit reluctant to stop him with just one Elite Four.

That is, Drake's tactical system with Altaria as the core is not bad, otherwise I'm afraid Drake won't be able to stop it.

"Groudoon-!!"

With a roar from Groudon, sharp pillars of lava rock suddenly emerged from the seabed, and Drake had to choose to dodge.

But the next moment.

Under the strong sunlight in the sky, Groudon quickly gathered energy from the top of his head and shot a dazzling white light from his mouth.

If Flygon was hit by this "Solar Beam", then the fragile balance between Drake and Groudon would be destroyed in an instant.

weng!

Suddenly.

A circle of black ripples appeared on the path of "Solar Beam".

Like a black hole that didn't know where to go, the dazzling rays were absorbed as it approached.

Dark Void!

Darkrai enters!

Meanwhile.

Natsu and Ono on Latios came to Drake's side.

His whole body is covered in black fog like fire, even if you get close, you can't see his appearance and appearance at all, only the outstretched hand pressing the hat can tell. is a human.

I don't know, I thought it was another Darkrai wearing a hat.

"Drake Elite." Natsu's voice came out of the fog.

"Natsu?!"

Drake was a little surprised.

But with his rich experience, after thinking about it, he understood the meaning of Natsu's hidden identity.

He didn't bother much about this.

"This Darkrai reminded you last time? It is with you" Drake looked towards Darkrai who had been fighting Groudon.

Darkrai can even suppress faintly due to Groudon's recovery rate.

"Well, that's a friend." Natsu said confusedly.

He didn't know how to explain him relationship with Darkrai.

But for now, they are friends on the same front.

"Friend?" Drake nodded.

Darkrai's presence relieved his stress.

"By the way, have you seen Rayquaza?" Drake asked hastily.

In the archives kept by the Alliance, this is not the first time Groudon and Kyogre have recovered, but every time they appear, it is Rayquaza who quenches their anger.

"I see it,"

Before Natsu finished his words, he saw a high-tech jet moving towards here at a very fast speed.

And on this plane, the symbol of Team Magma was printed.

Drake's face darkened.

Didn't Iron really stop Team Magma's people?

It was seen that the plane stopped in front of Groudon, and the hatch opened quickly.

Standing at the door was a frenzied Maxie.

And in his hand, he held a fiery red object that glowed orange and roared slightly.

"It is.."

Seeing this, Natsu's eyes shrank.

"You know?" Drake asked with a frown, but couldn't help but ask.

Natsu's heart was beating fast.

Object in Maxie's hands far exceeded his expectations.

Even if Maxie appeared at this time with a Red Orb, he wouldn't be too surprised.

Just holding his hand now, he heard Natsu say every word: "Magmarizer!"

It was an item to allow Magmar to evolve into Magmortar and it seemed to have been enhanced to some extent, perhaps mixed with Primal Groudon carapace shards!

The researcher he and Lance were looking for on Stark Mountain, the researcher who escaped after blowing up the Alliance Gene Lab, his Magmar was a Magmortar that evolved through the "Magmarizer".

Natsu thought the man was only involved with Tom Ritchie and Team Rocket.

However, I didn't expect it, and it had something to do with Team Magma.

How many people, how many organizations, and how many forces were involved in the incident?

Natsu felt like there was an invisible web winding rapidly, trying to cover the entire Pokemon world.

On this Internet, he didn't say anything, maybe even Tom Ritchie is just one of the relatively important nodes, but also not the most critical node.

There were more conjectures in his heart.

But the more guesses there are, the less certain it is which is the key.

"Magmarizer?" Drake frowned.

He didn't know the origin and function of this thing.

The word "Magma" can be heard, plus Maxie's behavior here is a big risk.

It all shows that this thing may have a very bad effect!

"Darkrai!" Natsu held back his thoughts and hurriedly said, pointing to the "Magmarizer" in Maxie's hand, "Smash it!"

Upon hearing this, Darkrai immediately did so after hesitating for a while.

It is just.

Maxie's eyes were full of madness at this time.

He handed the "Magmarizer" to the Houndoom next to him, and then had three Camerupts stop Darkrai from approaching.

Houndoom jumped straight into the fire, moving towards Groudon.

The fire from three Camerupt Elites hindered Darkrai's movements.

It takes an Elite Houndoom to ensure that Groudon gets the item without fail!

Contact the newly recovered Groudon with a special "Magmarizer" in the Houndoom's mouth.

About--

The entire ocean centered on Groudon, and the earthquake shook violently.

The next second.

The terrifying lava spewed out more frantically than before.

A large amount of energy entered Groudon's body along the characteristics of the "Magmarizer".

Black line on it.

Starting from the "Magmarizer" properties, little by little it becomes golden yellow.

"This is trouble!"

Natsu and Drake's hearts sank.

Although Groudon does not have a full Primal Reversal form, his abilities have also been greatly enhanced.

The rest.

Only the lava continued to surge, and Maxie's laughter, which usually looked very gentle, was now laughing hysterically.
