Rayquaza, the legendary Pokemon, is also hailed as one of the strongest Pokemon in the world today.
Even across the Divine Domain Level, there are hardly any that can match Rayquaza's power. According to Champion Ash, a Mega Evolved Rayquaza faces no rivals, except for Mewtwo, who also reaches the Divine Domain Peak and has undergone Mega Evolution!
Among legendary Pokemon, it's overwhelmingly powerful!
However, a typical Rayquaza is green. The one protecting him now is black.
Black Rayquaza... a Shiny one.
No one expected that the Green Treasure Pearl could summon a Shiny Rayquaza—this far exceeded Ash's expectations.
Yes, this Rayquaza was summoned by Ash!
At the first sight of Giratina, Ash had already used Aura Power to communicate with the Green Treasure Pearl in his backpack, activating its power to summon Rayquaza.
Champion Ash had explained the uses of the Green Treasure Pearl: one was to serve as a token to challenge Rayquaza, similar to the Rainbow Wing, and the other use was for summoning!
The summoned Rayquaza could unconditionally help him with one task, as long as it wasn't something extremely malevolent, Rayquaza would be willing to assist.
Upon seeing Giratina, Ash, to be safe, used the Green Treasure Pearl. In the nick of time, Rayquaza finally arrived!
Upon seeing Rayquaza, Saturn felt his heart skip a beat.
Its entire body was as black as ink, with golden patterns on its surface flowing slowly like lava. Giratina's reflection was cast in its golden pupils, and just that gaze made Giratina's figure tremble slightly.
The phantom of Yveltal gave a nervous low hum, the Power of Death it was surrounded by was shattered largely by that flash of emerald power earlier—this terrifying force made it slightly tremble, even without consciousness.
The black dragon's head lowered slowly, with its golden slit pupils staring down at Saturn.
Behind him stood Pluton, his usual composure completely vanished from his face, his mouth opening and closing as if trying to say something but was stifled by immense shock.
"Rayquaza..." Saturn's voice trembled for the first time, "The black Rayquaza..."
The Sky Dragon, a legendary Pokemon born from the ozone layer, able to harness weather and quell disputes.
The black Rayquaza was barely recorded as an alternate colored individual in the most ancient documents.
Why would it appear here? How could it appear here?!
Could it be because Ash came here? How could a mere human master the Sky Dragon!
Even Galactic Team's leader Cyrus, after obtaining the Griseous Orb, had to use the most advanced technology within Galactic Team to forcibly use the orb's power to barely subdue Giratina.
Nonetheless, there was still the risk of backlash from Giratina, given it's one of the world's top legendary Pokemon.
To control one with human power was already unfathomable.
Let alone the idea of commanding its full strength.
Yet Ash... Rayquaza seemed completely unrestrained, with golden eyes filled with the majesty and authority of a legendary Pokemon—this Rayquaza had its own consciousness, It was not controlled!
Why... How does this brat manage to command two Divine Domain-level Pokemon! Just a mere brat...
'Are you alright, Ash!' Mewtwo's figure appeared beside Ash, its voice in Ash's mind filled with relentless concern.
For the first time ever, she felt such chaos; at that moment, she truly felt what it meant to lose all hope. If Ash had indeed perished from that attack, then... she would definitely make Galactic Team pay the price!
"I'm fine, Rayquaza's power shielded us; Mewtwo, bring Gardevoir and the others over. I'll put them back into the Pokeballs first. Otherwise, it'll be too dangerous when the battle starts."
Mewtwo nodded and then reached out to gather all the Pokemon blown by the shockwave using superpower.
The state of Gengar and the other Pokemon wasn't good; after all, that hit had not only exhausted Ash's powers but also drained Gengar and the others.
Moreover, Gardevoir was holding Mitsumi, who was asleep—during the clash between Death Wing and Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, Ash himself couldn't spare time to protect Mitsumi.
In the end, Gardevoir squeezed out the last bit of her spiritual power to create a barrier and protect Mitsumi.
Otherwise, with Mitsumi's fragile body, she'd probably have ended up hospitalized from the leftover shock.
Seeing Mitsumi unharmed, Ash also let out a sigh of relief, thanked Gardevoir, and then returned all the Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
Now, except for Mewtwo and Pikachu, all the Pokemon had been withdrawn, while Mitsumi was held in Ash's arms, safeguarded with the remaining Aura Power.
"That Yveltal absorbed all the Unown's power. Those Unown relying on Mitsumi's will now exist entirely within that Yveltal, which allows that bizarre entity to manifest physically. We need to find a way to save the Unown."
A glimmer appeared in Ash's eyes as he used Aura Power to ascertain Yveltal's true condition.
Seeing this, Mewtwo slightly furrowed its brow: 'I'll figure something out, but you should focus on taking care of yourself. It's not the time to be worrying about other Pokemon when you should be concerned about your own life safety. You're still daring to use Aura Power at this time.'
There was a hint of reproach in Mewtwo's voice. Ash simply smiled without responding.
Afterward, Mewtwo turned its gaze to the giant dragon behind Ash: 'Rayquaza... did you use the Green Treasure Pearl?'
Aside from chat groups, Mewtwo knew most of the things Ash had, including the Green Treasure Pearl.
Back then, when Ash first got the Green Treasure Pearl, he had told Mewtwo that one day he might need to battle Rayquaza to capture it!
Now that Rayquaza appeared for no apparent reason, it was clear it wasn't just passing by, but rather Ash had summoned Rayquaza using the Green Treasure Pearl.
"Yeah, if Rayquaza came any later, I might have had to wait for my next life to meet you again." Ash forced a smile, a testament to his character that he could still smile at such a time.
'Human, hand over the Green Treasure Pearl to me, and I will eliminate the two enemies before you.' A majestic voice sounded in Ash's heart; it was Rayquaza's telepathy.
From the moment Rayquaza took hold of Ash, it had been scrutinizing him out of the corner of its eye.
Rayquaza did not expect the holder of the Green Treasure Pearl to be such a young boy. A child at this age should have only recently started traveling, and getting the Green Treasure Pearl must have been purely accidental... or so Rayquaza had thought.
However, when it sensed Ash's body and the Pikachu beside him, Rayquaza instantly changed its impression.
This human child—profoundly unfathomable!
Rayquaza unexpectedly felt the power of the gods emanating from the boy!
It briefly caused Rayquaza to doubt its perception, but after several incredulous checks, Rayquaza confirmed: There was nothing wrong with its perception; the problem lay with the boy!
The reason he appeared in this state must be due to some cause that led to his exhaustion; otherwise, he would've had plenty of force to dodge or even counteract the previous attack.
That the Green Treasure Pearl landed with such a remarkable person was no surprise.
No matter what Rayquaza intends to retrieve the Green Treasure Pearl first; therefore, it proposed a condition to Ash—to resolve the two divine beings ahead to reclaim the Green Treasure Pearl.
Ash originally had no intention of doing anything with the Green Treasure Pearl, and now the urgent task was to intercept Giratina and Yveltal's phantom; the Green Treasure Pearl was nothing in comparison.
Just as Ash was about to nod in agreement, Mewtwo suddenly spoke: 'I recall you can only reclaim the Green Treasure Pearl when fulfilling two conditions: one being to unconditionally assist the holder with one task, and the other accepting the holder's challenge.'
'If Ash were to simply hand the Green Treasure Pearl back to you, where would he go to challenge you again in the future? And having obtained the Green Treasure Pearl, your power will probably ascend further, making any challenge Ash gives less favorable.'
On hearing this, Rayquaza's golden pupils constricted tightly, not because of Mewtwo's negotiation tone upsetting it—though admittedly slightly vexing—but mainly because Mewtwo managed to intercept its telepathic conversation with Ash.
Only then did Rayquaza begin to genuinely consider Mewtwo, and it noted the pressure emanating from Mewtwo subtly seemed threatening!
This force... What exactly is the origin of this Pokemon? Among the gods it knows, none have a beast in such a form.
'We of the Sky Dragon lineage would never break our oath. I can promise you that when you challenge me, I won't use the power of the Green Treasure Pearl, and I will leave you a token, which you can use to summon me at any time.'
'But the token can only be used once; after use, whether for seeking my aid or challenging me, its function will be lost, unless you find me again amidst the heavens and earth for another opportunity.'
This time, Rayquaza's voice resonated in both Mewtwo and Ash's hearts, sparing Mewtwo the effort of peek.
Upon hearing, Mewtwo's expression relaxed slightly; even amidst this severe circumstance, it was still striving to secure the benefits Ash was entitled to receive.
Especially now that it had shaken off Giratina, and with the Reverse Space set by Giratina shattered by Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, Ash was no longer threatened across from them.
Otherwise, under threat to Ash, Mewtwo would certainly not negotiate terms with Rayquaza under such circumstances.
Rayquaza also showed due respect to Ash and Mewtwo, partly as it was its duty, but also because Ash and Mewtwo's prowess warranted its respect.
A human, possessing Divine Domain Level power, and a Pokemon, holding power that might threaten its current form—someday in the future, they are destined to stand before it and challenge it.
Rayquaza anticipates the arrival of that day, but now, rules must be established.
A token can be given, but one use renders it completely nullified, or it turns it into a free laborer at beck and call?
"No problem, go ahead." Ash agreed without hesitation and handed the Green Treasure Pearl to Rayquaza.
This candid manner left Rayquaza taken aback.
Ash possessed the Green Treasure Pearl and evidently knew its significance to Rayquaza's kin; yet even so, he handed it over so straightforwardly... In the boy's eyes, Rayquaza saw not a hint of greed.
'I must admit, my view of humans has slightly shifted; among them are still pure beings like you, showing hope remains.' As Rayquaza's words concluded, the Green Treasure Pearl in Ash's hand levitated, then slowly merged into Rayquaza's body.
Afterward, Rayquaza directed its gaze at the two looming figures from afar.
Compared to Ash, the malice radiating from those two was quite apparent, and...
'Giratina is actually controlled; humans' means are truly changing with each passing day! And that thing... a counterfeit born from the God of Death's essence, achieving one-tenth the God of Death's power—indeed extraordinary.'
"Please, Rayquaza, shatter that phantom to free Giratina from their control."
'I will do my best.' Rayquaza set Ash and Pikachu down, then let out a sky-piercing roar, levitated upwards, erupting in a dazzling spectrum of colors!
Initially with some ideas about Rayquaza, Pluton and Saturn changed their expression drastically at the sight of the rainbow spectrum emanating from Rayquaza!
This damn... It's MEGA Evolution!! No one told them Rayquaza could still MEGA evolve!!
As Rayquaza already ranked among the best of Legendary Beasts, and now MEGA evolved... how can they contend?
As the light gradually faded, Rayquaza's new form emerged—the first thing in view was its fully extended form.
The length of its twisted figure further surged, each streamline black-scaled body ablaze with lava-like golden patterns.
Two curved black blades protruded from its chin sides, with bright yellow gems embedded at the base.
Meanwhile, golden ribbons extended from its horns and chin blades, adding a divine quality to its inherently majestic body.
Such is Rayquaza's MEGA Evolution, the MEGA Rayquaza!
To resolve the two Divine Domain Level beings in one go, Rayquaza held nothing back, unleashing full power!
