Chapter 1048: Mega Rayquaza Vs Mega Rayquaza
Looking at Mega Rayquaza emanating a strong aura in the sky, the old lady was extremely satisfied.
The reason why the old lady knew about the magical giant stone at the top of the Sky Pillar was thanks to the notes left by the ancestors of the Draconid People. The notes said that the giant stone could revert Rayquaza to its most primitive form.
What the ancestors's notes said turned out to be true!
Yuga also didn't expect that the Rayquaza's clone actually could undergo Mega Evolution. According to his understanding, the condition for Rayquaza's Mega Evolution was to learn Dragon Ascent move, but the giant stone before him directly overturned Yuga's perception.
He seemed to recall from the original story that Lysandre activated the ultimate weapon in order to destroy the world with the power of a mysterious giant stone. Could that mysterious giant stone is this one?
The old lady quickly noticed Yuga who was catching up with her and said to him with a "kind" face, "I indeed underestimated you, but now everything is over!"
The birth of Mega Rayquaza filled the old lady with confidence.
"Rayquaza! Take care of him!" The old lady shouted at Mega Rayquaza.
"Roar!!!"
Mega Rayquaza obeyed the old lady's command. After receiving the order, it opened its mouth and emitted a Hyper Beam directly towards Yuga and Dragonite.
Lapras and Chimecho rushed forward to try to block the attack for Yuga, but Mega Rayquaza, after Mega Evolution, was too strong. Yuga didn't believe that Lapras and Chimecho could withstand its Hyper Beam.
Just as the golden beam of light was about to hit Yuga and his Pokémon, a slender green figure descended from the sky and diverted the golden beam from its original trajectory with a tail.
Seeing the newly appeared figure, the old lady exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Why is Rayquaza appearing here?"
The one who saved Yuga in time was the same Rayquaza that had battled Deoxys in Rustboro City before. Yuga didn't expect the real Rayquaza to suddenly appear and save him!
After saving Yuga, Rayquaza turned its head and glared fiercely at him. If it weren't for Ho-Oh telling it not to trouble this kid, it would have already torn this annoying kid to pieces!
After the incident with Deoxys, Rayquaza's deeds quickly spread, and many Legendary Pokémon knew about it. Moreover, Ho-Oh even personally came to ask it not to trouble Yuga.
As a member of the Lawful Legendary Pokémon camp that supporting the League together with Ho-Oh, Rayquaza naturally had to give Ho-Oh some face, otherwise it would have watched Yuga be turned into ashes by the Hyper Beam.
Seeing Rayquaza turn away after Yuga waved to it, Yuga said with a thick-skinned face, "Thank you, Rayquaza!"
Although Yuga wasn't sure why Rayquaza suddenly became so kind, it didn't stop him from guessing that Rayquaza harbored no ill will towards him.
Rayquaza turned its head away upon hearing Yuga's words. This kid was too annoying; it was better to just ignore him.
Witnessing the interaction between Rayquaza and Yuga, the old lady became very angry. She shouted angrily, "Rayquaza, why are you no longer protecting us, the Draconid People? Instead, you're helping an outsider and ruin my plans!"
"Roar!!!"
Rayquaza used its powerful voice to warn the old lady that it couldn't move against Yuga yet. Did she really not understand why it wasn't protecting them?
When the Dragon Clan split up, Rayquaza chose to continue protecting the Draconid People instead of the Dragon Tamer family and the Village of Dragons because they still held the Jade Orb.
However, the actions of the Draconid People, who had split from the Dragon Clan, became increasingly radical.
They are very different from the Dragon Clan's previous style of conduct and Rayquaza's commitment to peace. This eventually led Rayquaza to cut off it contact with the Draconid People in frustration.
It had given them chances, but they had disappointed it greatly. Especially ten years ago, when a group of misguided people tried to summon it with the Jade Orb and then asked it to help them overthrow the League.
That's Ridiculous!
Rayquaza's Hyper Voice move stirred up a huge sound wave, knocking the old lady off from her Salamence. She screamed as she plummeted downwards. This was high altitude; if she really fell, she would be turned into pulp.
Fortunately, her Salamence was reliable. After withstanding the shockwaves from Rayquaza's Hyper Voice, it quickly dove down and caught the old lady safely.
After regaining safety, the old lady sat paralyzed on the back of her Salamence, panting heavily. She hoarsely exclaimed, "Since you no longer recognize us, the Draconid People, then you have no reason to exist!"
The old lady had always harbored resentment towards Rayquaza for killing those Draconid People ten years ago!
At her command, Mega Rayquaza's clone directly launched an attack on Rayquaza!
Seeing Mega Rayquaza's clone charging towards it at lightning speed, Rayquaza was extremely angry. It definitely didn't come here specifically to save Yuga, but rather sensed the birth of another individual that was connected to its bloodline.
However, upon meeting, Rayquaza immediately knew that the entity before it wasn't the real Rayquaza, as the Jade Orb was inside itself.
"Roar!!!"
Rayquaza roared angrily, swinging its dragon tail fiercely towards Mega Rayquaza's clone, but the anticipated domination scenario didn't happen. Instead, its tail was grabbed by Mega Rayquaza's clone.
With the Jade Orb in its possession and having undergone Mega Evolution, Mega Rayquaza's clone had already surpassed the real Rayquaza in terms of power.
Bang!!!
Rayquaza was slammed by Mega Rayquaza's clone, its tail dragged and smashed against the wall at the top of the Sky Pillar. The decrepit wall instantly turned into rubble, plummeting downwards.
Taking a hit, Rayquaza refused to back down. It turned its head and unleashed a Hyper Beam towards the head of Mega Rayquaza's clone.
Mega Rayquaza's clone narrowly avoided this attack, but its grip on Rayquaza's tail loosened.
Breaking free from the grasp of Mega Rayquaza's clone, Rayquaza swiftly twisted its body in midair and unleashed a Dragon Pulse towards its opponent.
The two Rayquazas engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows and unleashing various moves, causing chaos at the top of the Sky Pillar.
Meanwhile, Rayquaza and Mega Rayquaza were locked in combat, Yuga and the old lady also joined the fray.
The old lady's Altaria valiantly faced off against both two champion level Pokémon, Lapras and Chimecho. Yuga rode his Dragonite, while carrying Florges to support Mega Gengar that was fighting against Mega Salamence.
Yuga's Mega Gengar moved with exceptional agility, it always manage to evade Mega Salamence's attacks and retaliating with sludge bombs. Florges seized the opportunity to unleash a Moonblast during these moments.
Although Yuga's Florges had the ability to control a Misty Terrain to disrupt Mega Salamence, it refrained from doing so because Misty Terrain, while hindering Mega Salamence, would also protect it from being afflicted with status conditions.
Therefore, besides providing healing support to Mega Gengar, Yuga's Florges only intervened with her Moonblast strategically to disrupt Mega Salamence's attack rhythm.
As expected, under the relentless bombardment of Mega Gengar's sludge bombs, the Salamence beneath the old lady was eventually poisoned, achieving Yuga's ultimate goal.
The Master level Salamence had thick defenses and high HP, making it nearly impossible for Mega Gengar and Florges to defeat it directly. Therefore, they could only rely on the indirect damage caused by poisoning.
Mega Gengar's advantage lay in its speed and high attack speed. Even though the chances of Sludge Bomb hitting Salamence were not high, there was approximately a thirty percent chance of inflicting poisoning. With multiple attempts and the assistance of Florges, success was inevitable.
Now that the opponent was truly poisoned, Mega Gengar's strategy was to keep Salamence at bay until it succumbed to its own demise.
The corrosive effect of the venom inflicted great pain on Salamence. The frustration caused by its inability to land hits on Gengar was exacerbated by the agony of the venom's corrosion.
"Salamenece!"
Salamence roared angrily, it continuously spewing flames, even causing some difficulty for the old lady to control it.
Yuga, Mega Gengar, and Florges successfully suppressed Mega Salamence, while Lapras and Chiemcho were held firmly in check by Altaria.
Although the old lady's Altaria's attacks were not as powerful as Salamence's, its defense and stamina far exceeded it.
Lapras and Altaria couldn't break through Altaria's defenses, even though Lapras had a type advantage over Altaria.
They couldn't gain any advantage against it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Rayquaza was still unable to deal with Mega Rayquaza's clone. It was struck down by a Dragon Claw from Mega Rayquaza's clone, and landing right beside the giant stone.
This stone was discovered by Rayquaza in the depths of space a long time ago and it then brought it back. Originally intending to consume it as a regular meteorite, Rayquaza inadvertently discovered the immense energy contained within this mysterious giant stone stone. Therefore, it refrained from consuming it recklessly.
Later, it stored the giant stone inside the Sky Pillar built by the Draconid People because Rayquaza discovered that although the giant stone could assist it in completing its Mega Evolution, it would also pose a threat to its body.
But at this moment...
With this in mind, Rayquaza made up its mind and directly absorbed the energy within the giant stone.
It would be utterly embarrassing to be defeated by an impostor! Once was more than enough for such humiliation; it had no desire to go through it again.
After absorbing the energy from the giant stone, Rayquaza's body began to emit a dazzling rainbow light. With a buzzing sound, Rayquaza completed its Mega Evolution.
"Roar!!!"
Mega Rayquaza roared triumphantly, its momentum even greater than when Mega Rayquaza's clone underwent Mega Evolution.
Using the giant stone for Mega Evolution was truly satisfying. If it weren't for the harm it caused, Rayquaza would have wanted to embrace it every day like a prized possession.
Unfortunately, this substance was like a drug; it provided pleasure when used but resulted in suffering afterward. Otherwise, it wouldn't have resisted the temptation to bring it to the Sky Pillar initially.
Mega Rayquaza unleashed its ability, Delta Stream to its fullest, and eliminating all of its weaknesses as a Flying-type Pokémon.
Although Mega Rayquaza's clone also underwent Mega Evolution, it didn't activate its ability. It wasn't because it didn't want to, but because it couldn't. Despite appearing identical to a real Rayquaza, it was still incomplete in reality.
Bang!
Mega Rayquaza exuberantly unleashed a Dragon Ascent, knocking Mega Rayquaza's clone out of the sky.
As Mega Rayquaza's clone fell, it brought down half of the Sky Pillar, causing numerous boulders to plummet, and startling the Draconid People below.
Yuga, who was engrossed in dealing with the old lady, suddenly noticed the change in weather.
Layer upon layer of dark clouds descended from the sky like a funnel, giving the impression that the city was about to be destroyed by the looming darkness.
Upon witnessing Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, Yuga immediately deduced that the nearby weather was being influenced by Mega Rayquaza's ability, Delta Stream.
"Rayquaza, move the battlefield to the sea, otherwise Pacifidlog Town won't be able to withstand this!" Yuga shouted loudly to Rayquaza.
The range of Delta Stream was too vast. If the two Rayquaza didn't leave this place quickly, the small town that was not far from the Sky Pillar would likely soon suffer a Pokémon disaster.
Glancing at Pacifidlog Town not far away, Rayquaza glared fiercely at Yuga but ultimately followed Yuga's instructions, it guiding Mega Rayquaza's clone step by step to move the battlefield to the sea and away from the coastline.
Seeing Rayquaza heed his advice, Yuga breathed a sigh of relief; he was afraid Rayquaza might act recklessly at this moment.
At this moment, the old lady's Salamence was finally drained of its last trace of energy by the poison of Mega Gengar. With its eyes closed, it toppled forward, causing the old lady to fall from its back as well.
The old lady released a Flygon to try to catch herself, but at that moment, Cosmoem suddenly appeared in front of her and instantly teleported her to Yuga's side as he swiftly delivered a chop to her neck, rendering her unconscious.
It must be said that while Cosmoem lacked battle prowess, its Teleport move was truly remarkable; even Deoxys might not surpass it.
With the old lady in his grasp, Altaria was no longer a threat. Its owner was in Yuga's hands, so it did not dared to act recklessly and could only surrender obediently before being recalled back into its Poké Ball that Yuga found on the old lady.
As for Flygon that just released by the old lady, it was just a grunt; it couldn't withstand a Dazzling Gleam move from Gengar.
After moving the battlefield to the sea, the battle between Mega Rayquaza and Mega Rayquaza's clone intensified. After suffering several setbacks in a row against Mega Rayquaza, Mega Rayquaza's clone unleashed its full power.
Tilting its head back, it released a massive fireball into the sky, which then exploded like fireworks, with countless meteors mixed with flames hurtling towards Mega Rayquaza.
Just as Yuga landed on his Dragonite with the unconscious old lady, he witnessed the spectacular fireworks exploding in the distance over the sea. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
Thankfully, those two went out to sea. Otherwise, with this Draco Meteor alone, not only he, Mr. Brandon, and the Draconid People below would be in danger, but the residents of Pacifidlog Town would likely also be unable to escape.
Countless boulders crashed into the sea, creating a huge wave on the sea, but fortunately, they were far from the battlefield. Otherwise, they would have been overwhelmed by the tidal waves that was stirred up by the crashing boulders.
However, what surprised Yuga even more was yet to come. After Mega Rayquaza's clone unleashed its full power, Mega Rayquaza that was unwilling to be outdone, it immediately followed suit, and casting another Draco Meteor to explode over the sea.
The once calm coastline was now being battered by waves, and washing away many Water-type Pokémon ashore.
