Chapter 144: I Am the Strongest Groudon!!

Burn, an abnormal status that severely counters Pokémon with strong physical attacks, and why Mega Rayquaza is so dominant.

Precisely because once Rayquaza Mega Evolves, its Attack and Special Attack are both at the absolute peak!

Whether physical or special attack, Mega Rayquaza can look down on almost all Pokémon in this world.

Overwhelming offensive power is what Mega Rayquaza prides itself on.

But with a Burn, Mega Rayquaza's physical attacks might still be strong, yet they absolutely lack such dominance and explosive power.

Although the Black Rayquaza's special attacks remain formidable, its threat level has been greatly reduced.

Pure special attack power is far inferior to 'mastering both physical and special attacks'!

"Roar!!"

The Black Rayquaza roared in anger, these guys!

As the flames of the Burn dissipated, an incredibly fierce tornado storm erupted violently from the Black Rayquaza's mouth.

A Flying-type Hurricane!

The Black Rayquaza understood its condition, so it changed its attack method.

"Protect!"

Dark Mewtwo immediately activated a Protect barrier.

The torrential tornado storm raged against Dark Mewtwo's Protect; the violent impact caused the Protect barrier to tremble continuously, appearing to be on the verge of collapse.

But Protect still held firm.

"Blizzard!"

Deoxys clapped its palms together, and ice-blue energy flared.

But the next moment, a black dragon figure darted forward like lightning, crashing heavily into Deoxys.

Deoxys's entire body was knocked flying, smashing into a building that was nothing but ruins.

It was the Black Rayquaza's Extreme Speed!

The Black Rayquaza turned its head, condensing pure dragon light in its mouth.

Dark Mewtwo immediately opened a deep purple Psychic barrier; the Black Rayquaza's movement was simply too fast, leaving it no time to dodge.

Boom!

Dragon Pulse fired, crashing heavily onto Dark Mewtwo's Psychic barrier; Dark Mewtwo, along with the Psychic barrier, was blasted backward by the Dragon Pulse.

Seeing that in such a short time both Deoxys and Dark Mewtwo had been knocked flying, Mamon raised an eyebrow.

"Ho-Oh, Sky Attack!"

"Chirp~!"

The rainbow-like radiance remained as beautiful as ever; Ho-Oh, having recovered much of its condition, took flight once more.

Its vitality was simply too strong, and the Rainbow Flame also possessed healing effects; Ho-Oh, which had previously been battered severely by Mega Rayquaza and left in poor condition, rose into the sky again.

The blue Sky Attack flames were incredibly majestic; Ho-Oh spread its wings and crashed toward the Black Rayquaza, its momentum extremely Gao Ang.

However...

The Black Rayquaza turned its head and unleashed a Dragon Pulse, the dragon-shaped wave striking Ho-Oh in its Sky Attack state with a vicious hit.

With a deafening boom, the Sky Attack flames surrounding Ho-Oh were directly shattered by the Dragon Pulse, and Ho-Oh itself was blasted away by the explosion.

Mamon clicked his tongue; this bird of Ho-Oh truly couldn't stay cool for even a second.

"Roar!!!"

The Black Rayquaza soared high, rearing its head to roar wildly, looking down upon the ruined city below and those defeated subordinates.

Its magnificent black dragon body coiled and twisted; the golden light ripples and divine charm were beautiful, and the domineering dragon aura's oppressive pressure was shocking!

Even if it is burned, so what?

It is still the invincible Rayquaza!!

The other Rayquaza's eyes practically sparkled; Dad! So cool!!

"Sky Dominator Rayquaza..."

Cynthia gazed at the Black Rayquaza, which had fought for so long yet remained almost unharmed, and her heart sank.

Too strong, simply too strong!

"Is there truly any Pokémon in this world capable of defeating this shiny Rayquaza?" Wallace muttered in disbelief.

Terrifying indeed!

Primal Groudon, Dark Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Ho-Oh rushing over to assist; a full four Legendary Pokémon.

And yet, even under Mamon's command, they were nearly completely crushed by this Black Rayquaza!

Aside from a Burn, after fighting for so long, there were no other results.

But even with a Burn, this Black Rayquaza's dominance remained just as terrifying.

Steven and the others fell silent; who knew?

Nemona's expression was excited, yet she restrained herself with great effort; she felt this Black Rayquaza was so domineering and arrogant it made her want to fly!

Cynthia pondered, wondering if Palkia and the others from her region's mythology could be a match for this Black Rayquaza?

Even Giovanni at this moment fell into deep contemplation; his previous project to activate Mewtwo was intended to leverage Mewtwo's absolute power to earn more money and dominate the world...

But now, watching Dark Mewtwo being hammered down by this Black Rayquaza, he suddenly felt that this world was indeed, as Mamon said, hiding too much 'mystery'.

"I never imagined before that these Legendary Pokémon would possess such power."

Champion Leon couldn't help but feel a bit relieved; his Galar region did not have such 'unrestrained' Legendaries.

Otherwise, watching them ravage human cities would truly be too helpless.

"It seems Mamon has no way to defeat this Black Rayquaza either."

Steven spoke softly, his heart holding both regret and sighs, yet also a trace of relief.

Sighing, this city of Latus was ultimately a scene of devastation; though its population was not large, people still lived here.

Their home, failing to protect it naturally made Wally feel guilty and distressed.

But fortunately, while Mamon was strong, he too had limits!

In that case, they were not entirely without hope.

If even this Black Rayquaza could not defeat Mamon, then Wally did not know how to defeat Mamon at all.

"Woo~!"

But just then, a low, melodious, and desolate howl, reminiscent of a prehistoric beast, echoed across the sky.

It was Primal Groudon!

"Completed."

Mamon grinned, looking at the Primal Groudon whose might was more than just a little overwhelming.

Six meditations completed!

Primal Groudon's golden beast eyes were noble and indifferent; feeling the surging power within its body at this moment, it could not help but want to unleash it!

It felt that it was terrifyingly strong right now!!

Damn, so as long as I strengthen myself, I can reach this level?

Only now did Primal Groudon realize how stupid it had been before; if its brain had worked a bit faster back then, and it had meditated in advance before picking a fight with that stinky lizard, couldn't it have hung that stinky lizard up and beaten it?

The Black Rayquaza narrowed its dragon eyes slightly, looking at the Primal Groudon whose aura was now so imposing.

Strengthening completed? But it looks like this fathead fish is a bit swollen with pride now.

The Black Rayquaza sensed Primal Groudon's eager mood, its gaze cold.

"Groudon, Blizzard!"

Mamon directly ordered Primal Groudon.

"Woo~!"

Primal Groudon's howl echoed continuously across the horizon as a sky-obscuring ice and snow storm surged forth, sweeping toward the Black Rayquaza.

An Ice-type Blizzard!

The Black Rayquaza roared in anger; a violent tornado of wind met the Blizzard, a Flying-type Gale!

Boom!

The wind tornado and the ice storm clashed violently in the sky, the white storm and the ice-blue Blizzard crashing against each other madly.

The entire sky changed color completely, and the wild wind howled across the whole world.

Even Wally and the others, who were far away, felt they could no longer maintain their balance; they were almost blown away!

Primal Groudon poured its energy into the Blizzard with all its might, yet even so, it could only slightly suppress the Black Rayquaza's Gale, unable to crush it.

Damn! How is this Black Coal Rayquaza so strong?!

Primal Groudon was immensely shocked in its heart; it could clearly feel the changes from its strengthening, which was a massive improvement!

But after strengthening, it could only slightly suppress the unenhanced Black Rayquaza? What kind of joke is this?!

Moreover, as the Black Rayquaza's anger value rose, frantically squeezing out the energy within its body, the Gale was actually becoming evenly matched with the Blizzard once again.

"Ho-Oh! Mewtwo! Use Helping Hand on Groudon!"

Seeing this, Mamon grinned; he had expected this all along!

Ho-Oh and Dark Mewtwo appeared behind Primal Groudon, and mysterious waves diffused into Primal Groudon's body.

A Normal-type Helping Hand!

As for why Deoxys's 'Helping Hand' was not used, it was because Deoxys could not perform it, and Deoxys was the most heavily injured, after all, it had been specially targeted by the Black Rayquaza.

Under the 'Helping Hand' of Ho-Oh and Dark Mewtwo, Primal Groudon immediately felt its whole body filled with power; the momentum of the Blizzard surged dramatically, directly overpowering the Gale!

This is impossible!!!

The Black Rayquaza's dragon eyes shrank, looking at the approaching Blizzard in disbelief; how could this be possible!!

It actually lost a direct clash! It was the invincible Rayquaza after all!

The raging ice storm howled past, completely swallowing the Black Rayquaza, which was momentarily doubting its dragon life.

The terrifying Blizzard swept through like a windstorm; even the city below was now shrouded in white snow and ice, and the temperature in the air dropped crazily.

The power of this Blizzard strike was astonishingly strong!

The Black Rayquaza's whole body was crazily eroded by ice and snow, forming thick frost; intense cold and pain constantly swept over the Black Rayquaza's entire body, causing its body to fall uncontrollably and crash heavily onto the frost-covered ground.

This was the first time the Black Rayquaza had been knocked down!

"Father my lord!"

The Rayquaza watching from afar was startled; it quickly suppressed the discomfort caused by the cold and immediately flew at supernatural speed toward the Black Rayquaza's position.

"Hahaha~ I actually knocked down this shiny Rayquaza in one hit!! Stinky lizard, did you see that? I, Groudon, am the strongest!!"

The fathead fish laughed wildly in its telepathy; it was freaking out!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

How long had it been suppressed by Rayquaza? It couldn't even remember; it never expected that today it would knock down Rayquaza in a single move!

And it was by winning a direct clash and knocking it down!

And against such a powerful shiny Mega Rayquaza, damn! How can this be so awesome!!

The fathead fish had already thought of its 'lines' for when the Black Rayquaza flew up again.

'Rayquaza, have you ever lost?'

Just thinking of the Black Rayquaza's eyes full of humiliation, the fathead fish was so excited it wanted to spray water!

Hahaha~ Pity, pity, that stinky lizard cannot see the scene of my Primal Groudon displaying such divine might; truly a pity!

Hearing Primal Groudon's telepathy in its heart, Mamon couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

This fat-headed fish is, more or less, 'mad'.
