Chapter 466: Riding on My Beloved Rayquaza
Chapter 466: Riding on My Beloved Rayquaza
"Friends!"
"Where are you?"
Green and purple lights intertwined, and the Deoxys with the purple core, with Jinghe's waveguide power intervening, began to peel away its infinite energy. Its consciousness gradually returned.
The struggling movements finally stopped.
"It" Daisuke and Wusong also walked over.
Jinghe sighed in relief and plopped down in front of Deoxys, feeling a sudden sense of emptiness and fatigue as the waveguide power not belonging to him was withdrawn.
Buzz, buzz—
The organ emitting electromagnetic waves on the face of the purple-core Deoxys flickered twice.
Jinghe realized, "What, how long are you going to keep pressing down on it?"
Darkrai, Super Gramps, Rapid Dragon, Super Golurk, and a group of Pokemon piled on top of Deoxys like a stack of Buddhas.
They looked at each other.
Is it over?
Can we come down now? Jinghe's expression darkened.
Are you guys still addicted?
"Get down quickly."
"Hmm~"
The energy of Mega Evolution on Gramps' body quickly dissipated like unwinding silk, returning to its original form, and Super Golurk did the same.
Then, they all climbed down.
Gramps placed his palm on his brow, awed by the roundness of the moon.
Rapid Dragon and Martial Bear Master leaned on each other, pointing at the stars in the sky, one, two, three, forming a line.
Great Forge Smith gently tapped Darkrai with his hammer, and Darkrai immediately reacted, whistling along with him.
As if what had just happened had nothing to do with them.
Daisuke's Golurk and Bosikodora were more well-behaved, standing awkwardly and at a loss.
"Tyrogue, what are you doing?"
The little guy in the dark green shell scurried over with quick steps, his target being Deoxys.
Hearing Jinghe's words, he lifted his small foot and held it in mid-air.
"Yo, yo-ki."
What's up, do you like my new shell?
As he spoke, he shook the raised foot.
Jinghe: "."
Deoxys: "."
Jinghe, who was already a bit tired, felt even more exhausted at the sight.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Deoxys, having caught its breath, slowly floated up from the ground, picked up the green core gem representing its companion, and looked at Jinghe.
Jinghe nodded slightly.
Deoxys placed the green core gem on its chest.
Buzz—
Its purple core gem emitted a faint glow, gradually brightening from within.
At the same time.
The waveguide power that couldn't penetrate the green core gem seemed to respond to Deoxys' call, and the dark core gem in the middle faintly glowed with a hint of pale green light.
Others couldn't awaken this Deoxys, but this one with the purple core, being a Deoxys itself, could.
As it used its own energy to draw out the green core gem, the barrier covering the entire Verde Valley City began to dissipate.
The once-dark city seemed to regain its light bit by bit.
"Is it over?" Mikuri sighed in relief.
Jinghe is really amazing, worthy of being a master of the mind. He thought to himself, able to even calm down a powerful phantom Pokemon like Deoxys.
Although it seemed like a wasted trip, witnessing that scene made it worthwhile.
As long as Hoenn is safe, that's all that matters.
"No." But Yuan Zhi Tenno wasn't as optimistic. His gaze fell on the green dragon descending from the sky.
As Deoxys' barrier dissipated, Rayquaza flipped in the sky and flew downward.
Its eyes held a hint of surprise.
Unexpectedly, that human has some skills, not bad.
Time to feed.
Buzz—
The first to notice Rayquaza's movement were Deoxys and Darkrai.
They almost simultaneously looked up at the sky.
"The visitor doesn't seem friendly," Darkrai said slowly.
Deoxys: "We are the visitors."
"Deoxys hasn't fully recovered yet," Daisuke said, looking at the purple-core Deoxys and the green core in its hand.
Darkrai suddenly shuddered.
He stiffly turned around and saw the gazes of Gramps, Ice Nine-Tailed, Daisuke, Wusong, and the others.
"What's with those looks? You're not expecting me to deal with Rayquaza, are you?"
This is not what we agreed upon! Deoxys held the green core, his gaze sweeping over Jinghe and the group of Pokemon.
Rayquaza was drawn by it, and it had found its companion. The rest of the matters couldn't trouble them any longer.
Nodding to himself, its purple core flashed, and its body suddenly floated up, heading towards Rayquaza.
Placing the green core on its chest, its form shifted into a defensive stance, preparing to forcefully break through Rayquaza's attacks and fly into space.
Jinghe sighed as he witnessed the scene.
"We didn't ask you to move, why are you so agitated?"
As expected.
Rayquaza, who was initially in a decent mood, felt he should be able to eat. But as soon as he landed, he saw Deoxys soaring into the sky.
In an instant, Rayquaza realized he might have been deceived.
The "food" was never within his grasp!
Perhaps it was still up to him to take action?
Rayquaza's golden eyes flashed, and his body suddenly straightened. A stream of air instantly surrounded him, and from a distance, his entire body resembled a massive arrow plummeting straight down!
The final touch!
The speed far exceeded Deoxys' expectations.
"Huh?"
Rapid Dragon, witnessing this scene, looked puzzled. It glanced at Rayquaza and then looked down at its own palm, scratching its head.
It seemed somewhat similar, yet completely different.
Boom!!
The barrier erected by the soaring Deoxys shattered instantly. Facing Rayquaza's unrestricted final touch, it couldn't even manage to dodge.
The speed at which Deoxys ascended was fast, but the speed at which it plummeted was even faster.
Like a meteorite, it crashed into the ground with a resounding "Boom!"
The entire ground collapsed instantly, and countless fine cracks radiated from Deoxys, spreading in all directions. Amidst the rumbling, clouds of dust rose.
"Kaaah!"
Rayquaza roared, looking down at Deoxys with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
His mouth opened, and energy frantically gathered within.
If this attack landed, even if Deoxys didn't die, at least half of Verde Valley City would be destroyed!
Daisuke, Genji, and Mikuri all turned pale.
Rayquaza's sudden attack, without holding back, caught everyone off guard.
Well, not everyone, as Jinghe had anticipated it.
After all, he and Rayquaza had agreed to get "food," and now that Deoxys was pacified, he hadn't had a chance to communicate the "script" and "lines" to Deoxys before it charged forward.
Jinghe gave Gramps a look, and Gramps immediately understood, slipping into the shadows.
"I'm not sure if I can withstand it," Darkrai said in a subdued tone.
"You don't need to withstand it," Jinghe said, climbing onto Rapid Dragon's back. "But if you want, you can come with me."
He patted Rapid Dragon's back lightly.
"Wuuu~"
Rapid Dragon flapped its wings and immediately used Supersonic Speed, flying towards Rayquaza.
Darkrai didn't hesitate and followed.
Although it didn't know what Jinghe was up to, it understood that if it didn't follow, once Rayquaza launched an attack, Jinghe might not be able to withstand even a single blow.
"Rayquaza, stop!!!"
Jinghe tightly gripped the protective gear, clinging to Rapid Dragon, and once again used Wave Guide Power to shout.
Rayquaza, who was in the midst of gathering energy to deliver a devastating blow to Deoxys, heard Jinghe's "voice" and initially didn't want to pay any attention.
But when he noticed Rapid Dragon's state while using Supersonic Speed from the corner of his eye, his movements paused slightly.
The energy in his mouth gradually dissipated.
[You dare to come again!]
Rayquaza's piercing gaze fixed on Jinghe, causing a sudden surge of unease in Jinghe's heart. This feeling of oppression was even stronger than the one he felt from Dialga and Palkia, those two idiots.
However, Darkrai's presence by Jinghe's side alleviated some of the pressure.
"This is Rayquaza," Darkrai's voice echoed in Jinghe's mind.
"I want more money! No, more food!"
Jinghe's mouth twitched, ignoring Darkrai, whose "style" was gradually going astray, and instead faced Rayquaza directly.
"Of course, it's for what I promised."
Before Rayquaza could speak, Jinghe quickly added, "But the food I mentioned isn't Deoxys. I think you might have misunderstood."
[Misunderstanding?]
"Hengga~"
Finally, Gramps also arrived beside Jinghe, and like a magician, he produced plate after plate of cooked food from the shadows.
This was originally prepared by Jinghe for Darkrai.
Due to the power outage, it wasn't fully cooked, but for Rayquaza, it should still be a novel experience.
[This is...]
The food smelled so good~
Gramps winked at Rayquaza and proudly presented the food before him.
[What a joke! I've traveled the universe and have eaten all kinds of food.]
Gramps pouted, remembering who had said something similar before.
He glanced at Darkrai beside him.
Then, Gramps directly stuffed the food into Rayquaza's mouth.
No more talking.
"Hengga!"
Just eat it!
[Hmm?]
Rayquaza, who was in the middle of speaking, smacked his lips and his eyes lit up slightly.
No need to say more.
It was indeed quite delicious.
It wasn't that Jinghe's cooking was exceptionally tasty, as the food had already cooled down after some time, but for Rayquaza, who had never tasted this kind of human food before, it was a novel experience.
Rayquaza's life was actually quite dull and boring. Every day was either spent sleeping or eating meteorites.
This was why, after encountering Deoxys, he developed an interest in the "hunter's game."
"Hngh!"
The hungry one, bring more Energy Cubes!
Gramps once again took out a large handful of Energy Cubes and tossed them towards Rayquaza, causing Darkrai to wince in pain.
However, one had to admit that food could indeed improve one's mood.
Whether human or Pokemon, it didn't matter.
The angry aura surrounding Rayquaza gradually subsided.
It glanced at Jinghe.
If the promise made by this human was for this food, then he hadn't lied to himself, had he? Was it his own misunderstanding?
But...
Tricking a three-year-old!
[I]
Rayquaza spoke again, and Gramps once more used the Energy Cubes to silence him.
[I think]
Gramps tossed another handful.
[You're not bad.]
Jinghe smiled.
Darkrai gave Rayquaza a slightly disdainful look, his eyes flickering with unspoken words.
Being able to sit down and have a proper chat would be ideal.
If it really came to a fight...
Jinghe knew he couldn't beat Rayquaza, but with Darkrai's help, he could hold out for a while. Additionally, there was Daisuke, Wusong, the Hoenn League executives rushing over from afar, the Elite Four, and more.
At the very least, they could buy some time.
By then, Deoxys would have recovered, and there would be two of them. The outcome might be quite different.
If all else failed...
They could test who was more ruthless between Rayquaza and Giratina.
"Phew," Jinghe sighed inwardly.
"Thank you," Jinghe said sincerely to Darkrai.
Darkrai crossed his arms and turned his head slightly, saying nonchalantly, "Just remember the promise you made to me."
Jinghe smiled faintly, "Don't worry."
Although it seemed that Darkrai had acted for the so-called ten boxes of Energy Cubes, in reality, if they hadn't established a connection and faced an unbeatable enemy together...
No matter how many Energy Cubes there were, they would be useless.
Just like with Rayquaza.
If not for that fragment of grass-green treasure, even with Jinghe's strength and powerful Wave Guide Power, if he wasn't the chosen 'Successor' by Rayquaza, friendly communication would be impossible.
"I'll cook you a big meal later!"
Darkrai hummed lightly, "Your intentions are enough. Even if it's Arceus..."
As he spoke, he closed his mouth.
It's unlikely they'll encounter Arceus, right?
[Anything else?]
Having finished eating, Rayquaza completely forgot about the existence of Deoxys and Darkrai, and turned his gaze back to Jinghe, his eyes... yes, they had softened considerably.
This human was not bad.
"Of course."
Jinghe looked straight at Rayquaza, his tone calm, "But I also have a favor to ask of you."
After hearing Jinghe's so-called 'favor', Rayquaza's expression changed, his gaze sweeping over Jinghe and the Rapid Dragon.
"Jinghe managed to stop Rayquaza?" Mikuri breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Genji squinted, the last person who could communicate with Rayquaza.
Just as he was about to speak, Mikuri suddenly widened his eyes, losing his composure as he pointed towards the sky above Verde Valley City.
"Genji Tenno, look there!"
In the sky.
Rayquaza transformed into a green arrow, shooting towards the distance with such speed that it seemed to tear through space.
And on Rayquaza, a human was perched on top, gripping the horns on both sides of its head.
Beside Rayquaza, the Rapid Dragon's expression was solemn, and it too transformed into an arrow, shooting out.
It seemed like a teaching session.
"Jinghe?!" Genji Tenno's expression was one of shock.
"Holy sht!"
Wusong couldn't remember how many times he had cursed today, but this time, he couldn't hold it in.
What did he see? Jinghe... actually, actually rode on Rayquaza's body?!
Daisuke was also shocked. He turned his head towards the pit where the two Deoxys had just climbed out.
The one with the Purple Core had finally revived with the help of the other.
They looked at the green light that had just flashed across the sky, exchanged glances, and scratched their heads.
The dense clouds in the night sky gradually dispersed, revealing the bright moonlight that draped Rayquaza in a mysterious and gorgeous veil.
Jinghe sat at the back of Rayquaza's head, quietly swallowing his saliva.
He wondered if he could endure it.
[I'll only teach you once.]
Rayquaza's eyes flashed with pride as he spoke.
"Enough."
Jinghe gave the Rapid Dragon a look, and it came to Rayquaza's side.
This opportunity was not to be missed.
Darkrai rested his chin on his hand, lightly rubbing it as he looked at the smiling Gramps beside him.
Had he asked for too little in the beginning?
No, it seemed like Gramps was the one who had forced him to learn it. Never mind, it didn't matter!
After all, he had known Rayquaza longer than Darkrai, and had enjoyed it earlier.
Thinking of this, Darkrai's gaze towards Rayquaza held a hint of superiority.
[Ready!]
"Woohoo!"
The Rapid Dragon nodded seriously.
"Riding on my beloved Rayquaza, it will fly far, far away..."
