True Victory and New Mission

The sea was split open.

Thunderbolts tumbled above the dark and heavy clouds, the effect of the 'Primordial Sea' had completely disappeared, and the torrential rain of the lower levels quickly ceased under the influence of the airlock.

Rayquaza's slender body was wrapped in dense and strong energy, and he sped above the split sea with great vigor.

The storm that swept up snowflakes and seawater then followed it, rushing straight towards Kyogre.

"Ooh!"

Kyogre had already lost the ability to resist, there was no way to avoid it.

Facing Rayquaza's tornado that linked the sea and the sky and unleashed the extremely furious 'Dragon Ascend' towards him, the sea god only revealed a look of sadness and anger, before forcibly eating its attack.

"Boom-!!!"

'Dragon Ascend' wrapped in a tornado and smashed above Kyogre's head, ice, water, and storm wind strengthening its power.

The violent energy created raging waves above the sea, and Kyogre's whale body, which was so huge that it was intimidating, rode the tumbling waves and tumbled up into the sky, where the torrential rain had stopped.

"Ooh!"

The sharp and mournful whale song turned into the sea god's last song.

"Roar-!!!"

Adhering to the principle of 'last strike' that Aisha had taught him countless times, Rayquaza, after dispersing the energy of 'Dragon Ascend', even though he had already confirmed that Kyogre was incapacitated by his blow, he still did not hesitate to spew out a Hyper Beam, striking its body with precision.

"Metagross, Flash Cannon!"

"Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, Hyper Beam!"

"Milotic, Hydro Pump!"

"Dragapult, Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

Kyogre was blasted into the sky by Rayquaza with a 'Dragon Ascend' shot.

Steven, Lance, Summer, and Wallace didn't know that Kyogre had lost the ability to fight yet, so they said that they still commanded their Pokémon to launch their attacks in unison, and together with Rayquaza's Hyper Beam, they rallied their fire towards Kyogre.

"Boom!"

Smoke from the explosion filled the sky above, and Kyogre's body smashed into the sea below.

"Goo..."

A thin bubble rose above the surface of the sea, before returning to calm.

"Roar-!!!"

After Rayquaza sat with a fierce roar, he hovered above the surface of the sea that Kyogre had sunk into, and his sharp dragon's eyes pierced through the deep and dark sea, seeing the enemy that was gradually falling into the trench.

"Roar!"

After confirming that the enemy was completely lifeless, Rayquaza raised his dragon's claws towards Aisha, who was sitting on top of the spine of the Dragapult and looking at himself, revealing a freckled smile.

"Ha..."

Seeing Rayquaza's reaction, Aisha also understood that Kyogre had already lost the battle to him.

Nope.

Kyogre was defeated to Aisha, Summer, Steven, Wallace, and Lance.

All of them had worked together to defeat the terrifying Primal Kyogre.

"Everyone..."

At this moment, a look of ecstasy appeared above Aisha's handsome face.

Gripping the bronze sword of Chien-Pao tightly, Aisha also strongly supported his powerless body to stand straight above the spine of Dragapult and raised his sword high.

"Ha..."

The color of joy that was almost overflowing in his heart was already overflowing, Aisha's sight swept over the faces of his four partners.

In this battle, everyone held an important position, and it was indispensable to have one without the other...

If it wasn't for Steven and Wallace intercepting Kyogre in Mossdeep City, he wouldn't have been able to single-handedly take on Groudon.

If it wasn't for Lance and Summer's timely support, Rayquaza would have been injured even if he had defeated Groudon.

If it wasn't for Steven, Wallace, and Summer assisting him in the battle against the Primal Kyogaza, Rayquaza's last defense might not have been enough to withstand all of the Primal Kyogaza's attacks...

"We won!"

The dark clouds quickly dissipated under Rayquaza's Air Lock, and a gentle ray of sunlight happened to cross the sky at this time, shining on top of Aisha's sword blade, reflecting the teenager's smile.

"Oh!"

"Great!"

"Won!"

"Ha~"

Steven, Wallace, Lance, and Summer followed Aisha's words, smiling and raising their hands high.

Victory, belonged to all of them!

"Awesome!"

"Not bad for him..."

Above the sea, Steven and Wallace sat paralyzed on top of Metagross and Milotic.

Their long-worried hearts were also soothed with the defeat of Groudon and Kyogre, and the two of them revealed relaxed smiles under the warm sunlight.

After today, the gloom that had lasted for a long time in the Hoenn region finally dissipated with the sunshine.

"Aisha, thanks to you."

Above the sky, Lance also embraced his arms and complimented Aisha with a smile.

The stern red hair and leather cape of the man of dragons fluttered under the sea breeze, and the man who harnessed the three dragon type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémons displayed an extraordinarily majestic aura at this time.

Although, he had been playing a supporting role within the two battles of sniping Groudon and Kyogre, assisting Aisha's battles.

However... As Kanto's Champion, Lance never really cared much about fame and fortune.

When the long-lasting crisis in Hoenn region was lifted, he was satisfied with his sense of justice.

"Of course~ He's the foreign aid I prepared for you guys!"

Summer naturally accepted Lance's praise for Aisha, and in passing, she stood on top of Dragapult, smiling as she extended her slender arm and hooked it around the teenager's neck.

She and Aisha were already soaked under the torrential downpour called forth by Primal Kyogre, with their hair clinging to the tops of their cheeks, and now that they were cuddled together, their bodies were naturally feeling each other's warmth through their wet clothes.

Summer was a bit distracted for a moment...

"Thank you so much, Summer!"

Even though his body was covered in rainwater, Aisha didn't dislike Summer a bit, instead, he raised his arms and hugged her, sincerely uttering words of thanks.

Indeed...

If it wasn't for Summer helping Aisha wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return, the comeback of Groudon and Kyogre would undoubtedly be a certain death for him and Rayquaza.

Summer was Aisha's precious person.

"Hmm... Hmm?"

Hearing Aisha's words, Summer also saw the clear eyes of the teenager and felt a little off.

There's nothing wrong... But why does it feel like he doesn't think the same as me?

"Tsk."

Having seen Aisha and Summer wrapping their arms around each other, Lance also smacked his lips and showed a twisted expression.

"Hah... young people."

After retrieving Salamence and Garchomp, Wataru was also unwilling to be a light bulb in the sky above getting in the way of Summer and Aisha, and after that he had the good sense to ride Dragonite to drop in altitude and run towards Steven and Wallace.

Then...

Lance saw the scene of the two Hoenn champions talking to each other above the sea.

"Huh?"

A question mark popped up above Lance's head.

"What the hell?"

Kanto Champion's eyes kept darting between Aisha and Summer, and Steven and Wallace.

"Why am I the only one alone... What's with this atmosphere?"

Lance sighed as he sat perched on top of Dragonite, lifting up his cracked and threadbare skin.

"The cloak was damaged by the rain, almost time to buy a new style... Better get reimbursed by Hoenn League."

Lance had already figured out what style he should pick.

"Jie!"

Above the sky, after Aisha and Summer hugged for a while, Gengar scurried out from inside the latter's shadow, and the light of the great clear sky bloomed between his palms.

"Hiss..."

"Eh?"

The hot energy evaporated the rainwater staining the duo's clothes, vaporizing Aisha and Summer's hair in the process.

"For the control of energy, it's actually this powerful?"

Aisha also let go of Summer and looked in awe at the smiling Gengar.

"Tsk..."

Feeling Aisha's temperature leave her, Summer also revealed an expression of regret, and without a trace, she raised her slender and delicate middle finger towards her Gengar, and in her heart, she had already begun to calculate when she would let Gengar as a self-destructive soldier to make a big use of Explosion within the sparring match.

"Roar-!!!"

At this time, Rayquaza also flew to the side of Dragapult, extended his dragon claws, picked up Aisha, and placed him above his head.

"Elite Summer, I'm heading towards the Cave of Origin!"

"Okay."

Summer responded to Aisha's words absentmindedly with a frustrated look on her face.

"Go!"

With a pat on Rayquaza's head, Aisha harnessed it and flew towards Cave of Origin.

"Roar-!!!"

Rayquaza was also incomparably excited, roaring as it flew swiftly, arriving above the ruins of Cave of Origin.

"Ka!"

Aisha jumped from on top of its dragon's head onto the top of the ruins.

The fiery Rayquaza was also bathed in radiant light as it rapidly shrunk above the sky, reverting back to its Caterpie form.

[Mission: ride the Caterpie's evolved form, Rayquaza, to defeat the resurrected Groudon and Kyogre.]

The system's panel floated in front of Aisha, prompting him that the quest that had been troubling him from the start was finally complete.

"Mee!"

Caterpie shouted excitedly as well.

"Having awakened the path of evolution leading to Rayquaza... After that, we mustn't slack off either!"

Aisha couldn't help but reveal a smile after detecting a touch of aura belonging to dragons and flying on top of Caterpie's body, and realizing that its evolutionary path had completely turned into a Rayquaza with the assistance of the system.

"Mee!"

Caterpie also revealed a proud expression in response to Aisha's words.

"Hey?"

Aisha was also happy at the sight.

Needless to say, this guy must have swelled up quite a bit because he had consecutively defeated Groudon and Primal Kyogre under Rayquaza stance.

Although Aisha wasn't a parent who overly suppressed his child's self-confidence, however, he and Caterpie had utilized a lot of power from the system and other trainers to win this battle, so it wouldn't be a good thing to say that this child had become complacent because of it.

"Hey!"

Knocking Rayquaza's head, Aisha gave an example and educated it after a little thought.

"You, mustn't get cocky just because you defeated Groudon and Primal Kyogre."

"Mee?"

Caterpie made a puzzled sound and waited for Aisha's tall tale.

"Your predecessor, shiny Rayquaza... After its Mega Evolution, it could fight on its own even without a trainer's command, and it could fight in style against the seven First-level Legendary Pokémons, slowing them down!" Thinking of the theatrical version - within Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, the black Mega Rayquaza that slowed down Hoopa-Unbound, Primal Groudon and Kyogre, Kyurem, Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia, Aisha also lamented its power and said, "It's the truly powerful Pokémon! "

"With its defense, it even lasted for a long time under the attacks of the seven First-level Legendary Pokémons!"

"Roar-!!!"

Caterpie's eyes lit up, and a bright light flashed between its watery eyes.

"Huh?"

Hearing its voice, Aisha was also a bit surprised and said, "You said you can too?"

"Mee!"

The Caterpie also responded firmly to Aisha.

It wasn't some conceited child, Aisha understood this very well...

Therefore, after seeing how Caterpie still maintained a confident posture and made a promise to itself after hearing that black Rayquaza's battle record, Aisha not only didn't get bitter, but instead revealed a smile.

"Worthy of being my Pokémon."

My Caterpie has the qualifications of a great emperor!

"Good, in that case, let's work hard!"

Stroking Caterpie's head, Aisha also revealed a pleasant smile - in fact, he was also a bit happy, after all, it was the solution to the dangerous and suffocating sword of Damocles that had been hanging high above his head for a long time, and from then on, the path of the one who had passed the trial was a lot smoother.

Aisha revealed a smile, and made a new promise to Rayquaza, saying, "In the future, your strength will also be able to surpass that true 'God of Solemnity' with black Rayquaza."

"Black Mega Rayquaza only delayed the seven First-level Legendary Pokémons, we on the other hand can surely truly defeat them!"

"Mee!"

Hearing Aisha's promise, the Caterpie also swayed its body and made a muscular movement.

"Hahahahahah..."

[Ding!]

"Hiss-!!!"

Aisha heard the system's voice as he laughed, and then he went off on a tangent, his heart stuttering.

[System Mission: Commanding Rayquaza within the battle of Hoopa-Unbound, and truly defeating Hoopa-Unbound and the Legendary Pokémons it summoned.]

[Mission Reward: Mega Evolution of Rayquaza]

"Fuck?"

Aisha's expression twisted as he saw the new quest appear on the new system panel.

He and Rayquaza had only just resolved Groudon and Kyogre, and the system had given him a mission that was several times more difficult and appalling...

"I, for the rest of my life, am sealing my mouth shut."

Aisha covered his face.

"Still, it's okay..."

A moment later, Aisha did a little calculation and realized that there was still a long time left before the 'Hoopa and the Clash of Ages'.

"Tsk, seven First-level Legendary Pokémons... Doesn't matter!"

Clenching his teeth, remembering the power of Mega Rayquaza, Aisha also hardened his heart.

"Big deal, I'll pull Steven and the others to charge again at that moment!"

With a slap of his thighs, remembering his teammates, Aisha became fearless.

Shaking people?

Who doesn't have a little bit of connections?

I'll shake both Red and Blue for you at that time!

I'm prepared to see whether your - Hoopa-Unbound's army of divine beasts is tougher than my army of champions?

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Aisha looked at the system's quest panel again.

"Hoopa-Unbound with the Legendary Pokémon it summoned... It doesn't specify who it is?"

Discovering a blind spot in the system's quests, Aisha looked towards the Caterpie with a bit of excitement and said, "Caterpie, can you still detect 'Red Orb' and 'Blue Orb' now? "

"Mee!"

Although, it was unknown what Aisha was talking to himself about.

However, facing his master's inquiry, the Caterpie proudly stated 'No problem'.

"Ka-!!!"

Five minutes later, Caterpie burrowed out from within the ruins of Cave of Origin and rolled out a red pearl inscribed with the Ω symbol and a blue pearl inscribed with the α symbol.

"Good!"

With a wave of Aisha's hand, the two precious jewels entered its space.

This way, at that time, once Hoopa-Unbound was summoning Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, he himself could cow them on the spot as his battle power with the two orbs.

Change of heart, boy!

"Awesome!"

Visualizing the image of himself harnessing Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Mega Rayquaza in one breath, Aisha was simply too high to be true.

It's just that poor Groudon would probably still have to walk back to Hoenn on his own.

"...What are they doing?"

Aisha looked out beyond Sootopolis City and noticed a puzzled expression as Summer, Lance, Steven, and Wallace were flying slowly in their direction while seemingly talking about something.

"Mee!"

Caterpie tapped Aisha's leg at this time, signaling Aisha to look around.

"Uh... Ah."

Seeing Sootopolis City, which had been reduced to rubble, especially the area around the Cave of Origin was particularly damaged, Aisha also revealed an embarrassed expression.

The four of them were the League's Champions and Elite, and at this time, they were of course conversing about the aftermath work that needed to be carried out after the battle.

He himself wasn't a member of the League anyway, so there was no need to join in the fun right now...

"Ha~"

With a relaxed body, Aisha also looked towards the vast ocean - after the ravages of the heavy rainstorm, nowadays, the calm but rippling ocean was significantly more touching.

"Everyone, come out!"

Throwing out two Pokémon balls, Azurill and Charmander also appeared next to Aisha.

"Lulli!"

"Ow!"

The two little guys had watched the entire battle within the Pokéballs, and as soon as they appeared, they came up next to Caterpie, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Ha~"

Aisha also let out a light laugh and gripped the bronze sword of Chien-Pao.

Groudon and Kyogre had already disappeared on the other side of the sea and the earth, and the story between himself and them should almost start a new chapter...
