Chapter 656 Equivalent exchange?

...

Groudon fainted.

Usually, Groudon and Kyogre worked together to fend off Rayquaza for a while.

But this time, because Groudon opened the hook early and knocked Kyogre down first, naturally there was no one to help him share the pressure, and with Rayquaza's angry shot, Groudon really couldn't stop it directly.

Not to mention the remaining Kyogre.

Under Rayquaza's gaze, Kyogre broke through the ice and disappeared into the vast ocean at an extremely fast speed.

No one knows where he went.

Seeing this scene, Rayquaza showed a satisfied expression.

Only then did he suddenly react.

It seemed he had forgotten something.

See you again.

Once Rayquaza finally stops, Natsu shakily climbs off Rayquaza's back, supported by Darkrai.

He may not want to experience the "fun" of falling quickly and rising quickly.

Ouch-

Through the layer of mist created by Darkrai, Rayquaza could see Natsu's now pale face.

He was a little embarrassed, but he was quickly covered up.

Originally he didn't plan to do this, but when he saw Groudon's arrogant appearance, and then thought about what Natsu said before, he became angry and forgot about Natsu.

The corner of his mouth twitched, then recovered quickly.

'Cough, if it's okay, I'll go back first.'

"Wait!" Natsu couldn't talk, but telepathy wasn't important.

With Darkrai's support and holding back the discomfort in his stomach, Natsu slowly approached Rayquaza.

'En?'

Rayquaza's muffled voice echoed in Natsu's mind.

But Natsu remained unmoved, still getting closer to Rayquaza.

Even.

As Rayquaza watched, he supported his rudder-like lower side.

Staring straight at Rayquaza, he said, "What's wrong with Ono?!"

Natsu spoke to Rayquaza in a rare stern tone.

This matter had to be asked now, otherwise he didn't know when he would meet Rayquaza again.

Hearing this, Rayquaza was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little complicated.

Rayquaza wasn't offended by Natsu's tone.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, 'She lacked a chance, she was much more injured than Latios at that time.'

"Then what is she now? Human or Pokemon?" Natsu continued.

Rayquaza slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, which was gradually returning to normal.

'Now. Think of her as a human for a while. Maybe letting her go is the right choice, and more likely to meet the occasion.'

"Opportunity? What is the opportunity? ?"

'I don't know, it's up to you, you're her only human friend, aren't you?' Their eyes met.

There was silence again between one person and one Pokémon.

Hufft-

Natsu breathed a sigh of relief, his nausea was much better.

"I understand, I will take care of her."

After making a serious promise, Natsu suddenly took out a large number of Pokéblocks from his backpack.

"This was originally prepared by me for you, and it is useless for me to keep it. You can use it as a dessert after dinner. If you still want it after eating, you can contact me."

Psychic encapsulates this Pokéblock and sends it to Rayquaza.

Looking at the crystal clear and almost transparent red jewels one after another, Rayquaza did not answer.

Just a swing of the body, moving towards the sky.

And all the Pokéblocks were gone.

But he also left behind emerald green scales that reflected brilliant halos in the sunlight.

Rayquaza's Scales!

Natsu put away his scales and finally smiled widely.

A bunch of regular Pokéblocks for a piece of Rayquaza's Dragon Scales, would you believe that!

While it shouldn't be Rayquaza's Outrage, its value was much higher than a normal "Dragon Scale", and also much higher than the two Elite level "Dragon Scales" Natsu was currently holding.

Moreover.

This is from Rayquaza.

It might also contain some kind of strange ability.

Darkrai looked at Rayquaza, who was quickly leaving, then looked at Natsu beside him.

Is he delusional.

Rayquaza, bribed?

"Here."

And then Natsu gave him some Pokéblocks.

Although not as much as Rayquaza, it seems to be of better quality, and the energy contained in it and the smell it emits have a lot of temptation for Darkrai.

It was originally intended to be used by Natsu for Dark Type Pokemon, which was created for Hydreigon.

Although it is also mixed with the Dragon Type.

But for Pokémon at Darkrai's level, energy or something is secondary.

Darkrai's blue eyes stared at Natsu.

His eyes didn't seem to contain much special meaning, but he was just giving something away.

"Even though it wasn't because of your special qualities, especially I didn't know that you had been with me for so long. If I had known earlier, I would have done it for you, so that's just my opinion." Natsu explained. road.

Darkray fell silent.

Bribed?

But Darkrai opened his palm anyway, and a small dark hole appeared taking the Pokéblocks inside.

'Thank You.'

Darkrai was still polite.

It's not like an arrogant dragon who says no with his mouth, but his body is very honest.

"Please help me one last time."

Darkrai silently nodded.

He knew that Natsu wanted his help to hide his identity.

Seeing Rayquaza leaving, the three Drakes, who were not far away, had to use a lot of force to stop the spread of the aftermath, and then they approached.

The three's expressions had nothing in common with each other.

Drake's eyes were full of relief and emotion, Norman's eyes were mostly curious, and Brandon's eyes were a little sighing.

"Drake Elite, Mr. Brandon, Mr. Norman." Natsu moved towards them one by one while nodding.

"You did well."

Drake reached out and patted Natsu's shoulder, but thinking about the identity he was hiding, and Darkrai by his side, he didn't call his name at all.

"While it's a bit presumptuous not to know your name, but if you have time, you can come and sit with us at Battle Frontier," said Brandon.

Hearing this, Drake and Norman's eyebrows rose, but did not say anything.

Even though they had just fought Kyogre and Groudon together, the Battle Frontier and the Hoenn Alliance were two organizations under different systems.

"If there's a chance, I'll do it."

Natsu didn't refuse, and was very generous.

No one knows who he is anyway.

Then looked at Norman.

"I would like to fight Mr. Norman."

That's the truth.

There aren't many people in the entire Pokémon world that Natsu can look up to, and Norman is one of them.

Norman smiled wryly.

"Play against someone who can summon Rayquaza, or even sit on Rayquaza's back."

Isn't this bullying?

Natsu laughed without explanation.

Finally looking at Drake.

"Drake Elite, I will take my friend back first, here"

"Go, it's okay to leave it to us here."

As long as Groudon didn't encounter Kyogre, he didn't think much about destruction, he was just more excited about recovery.

Compared to Groudon, one has to be more careful with Maxie, who was defeated by the "Precipice Blades" and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"Please keep Drake Elite a secret."

After Natsu finally speaks to Drake telepathically, he slowly disappears beneath Darkrai's mist.

Unmarked Drake nodded.

Wait until Natsu leaves.

"Drake Elite, is Darkrai his Pokemon?" Brandon asked curiously.

"Maybe, maybe not." Drake was also a bit unsure now.

It's mainly the relationship between Natsu and Darkrai, which seems too close.

Not just Darkrai.

Natsu even sat on Rayquaza's back, something no one had ever done before.

"Whether it is or not, being able to recruit Darkrai and Rayquaza for help means that his abilities are not simple, and external forces are also strengths." Norman said slowly.

Approved by Drake and Brandon.

And what happened today.

The second day was the biggest news in the entire Pokemon world.

Among them are the things that attract the most attention.

Who is the figure on Rayquaza's back?
