Chapter 301

"That is..."

A roar full of momentum came from the sky.

For the Dragon-type trainers in the main venue of this Masters Tournament, that sound was incredibly familiar.

Dragon Roar!

It is said that only Dragon-type Pokémon that have practiced to the extreme, or some legendary Pokémon, can make such a majestic sound.

Combined with the image of this Pokémon, the answer is self-evident...

Rayquaza!

Lance's eyes looking at the sky were filled with a bit of heat.

Although he didn't know why this existence, known as the Sky Guardian in the Hoenn region, appeared in the Paldea region...

However, one thing is certain—

Legendary Pokémon never appear in human sight for no reason.

Just like Ho-Oh, which was once worshipped on the Indigo Plateau, only a very few lucky trainers can get a glimpse of Ho-Oh's true face.

It even left behind the legend that "as long as you see Ho-Oh, it will bring good luck."

I believe this Rayquaza is the same.

Is it because this Masters Tournament made Mesagoza full of Dragon-type energy that Rayquaza appeared?

Lance could only make such a guess.

"Legendary Pokémon, appeared in front of humans again?"

Compared to other spectators who didn't know why, the more knowledgeable Professor Oak frowned slightly.

This might not necessarily be a good thing...

Although according to the Hoenn legend, compared to the other two divine beasts that created the earth and the ocean respectively, Rayquaza is friendlier to humans.

But their appearance often indicates that disaster is about to happen.

It is not necessarily affected by nature or divine beasts, but more likely comes from humans...

Therefore, Professor Oak, who has seen more, couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, it is in the relatively safer Paldea region; otherwise, it might really attract the attention of some forces.

And after silently staring at Xiang Qingyu for a while, Rayquaza suddenly had a new action.

After a heavy sonic boom, Rayquaza's body fell downward, aiming straight at the battle field in the center of Mesagoza.

It is said that Rayquaza's speed is the best among all Pokémon, and it can even catch up with meteorites falling from the universe to the earth, and use the energy contained in the meteorites as food.

About three seconds later, Rayquaza had descended, and its huge and majestic body appeared in front of all the spectators on the scene.

Only at this time did Xiang Qingyu suddenly understand the classic CG of the Ruby/Sapphire series back then.

No wonder that as soon as Rayquaza was found rushing to the front, Groudon and Kyogre, who were fighting to the death, immediately extinguished their fire and ran away in embarrassment.

If you don't run when you see Rayquaza rushing over, you are this.

Only by witnessing the posture of a divine beast up close can you truly feel the insurmountable gap between them and ordinary Pokémon.

And Rayquaza just played a wave of "zero-frame acceleration," and no other moves had been used yet.

If you are targeted by such a legendary existence whose starting speed is several times faster than sound and whose casual Draco Meteor is comparable to a huge meteorite, it is really difficult to have the desire to fight it...

Xiang Qingyu's eyes looking at it were slightly complex.

Although he didn't know why Rayquaza appeared openly over Mesagoza this time, at least it can be confirmed that there should be no malice.

Maybe it even has something to do with himself?

"Riolu..."

Riolu looked at the black figure in the sky, its eyes condensed.

This familiar feeling!

It's the expert who used Draco Meteor to help itself and the trainer last time!

Compared to the fleeting glimpse on the Poco Path last time, this Rayquaza appearing in front of it made Riolu truly feel what is powerful.

Even if the big sister's Garchomp and Lucario joined forces to fight this Rayquaza, the chance of winning is probably less than 20%...

It is completely an existence outside the specifications, even far surpassing the two bear masters of the Isle of Armor Dojo!

However, facing the power of a legendary Pokémon made Riolu's eyes more and more hot.

If it could also possess such power...

It would definitely be able to become the trainer's most reliable helper.

"Eevee?"

Compared to the ready-to-go Riolu, Eevee's reaction was much calmer.

It could feel that this strange Pokémon was full of kindness to itself or the trainer, so it should be counted as a friend, right?

Such a huge and handsome existence is really suitable for it to paint a picture...

It's a pity that it didn't have drawing paper with it, so it could only keep its image in its mind.

Eevee couldn't help but feel sorry for this.

"Gao...?"

Rayquaza's appearance even made Miraidon have a moment of vigilance.

Powerful aura!

But after struggling for only a moment, Miraidon, who poked its head out from the railing, shrank back, lay on the ground, and decisively pretended to be dead.

It has nothing to do with me; I've already laid down, and if the sky falls, naturally there will be a tall person to hold it up!

It's decided to be you, trainer Xiang Qingyu!

"..."

After Xiang Qingyu's slightly complex gaze was withdrawn from the completely broken Miraidon, he turned to Rayquaza in the sky again.

However, at this time, he suddenly discovered—

Rayquaza's gaze didn't seem to be on him either, but on the little Bagon standing on the railing, looking up at it.

"Ying!"

In its sight, there was only that beautiful and gorgeous figure circling in the sky; Bagon had no other thoughts in its heart, only the longing to be able to fly in the sky arbitrarily.

If it could fly freely in the sky like it when it grows up, that would be great!

Perhaps it felt Bagon's pure belief, or perhaps it was just like before, just on a whim.

Staring at it with those dark golden eyes, Rayquaza quickly let out another sonic boom.

Afterward, a strangely shaped stone was spat out from its mouth, and under the guidance of an invisible force, it slowly sent it to Xiang Qingyu.

"..."

Noticing the small round ball floating in front of him, the red and blue striped patterns in it were particularly eye-catching.

(Looks about like this?)

Isn't this a Mega Stone? Judging from the color inside, it really is Salamence's...

Xiang Qingyu was a bit dumbfounded.

The Mega Evolution that appeared in the XY series is a special phenomenon produced by the resonance between the Mega Stone and the Key Stone in front of him, linking the bonds.

And in the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, it is also mentioned in a speculation that it seems all Mega Stones come from the mysterious universe and appeared in the current world through meteorite impact.

So it is unexpectedly reasonable that Rayquaza, which lives on eating meteorites, can have this thing.

By the way, this wouldn't be a first-hand product left in the stomach without digestion after Rayquaza finished eating, right...

While Xiang Qingyu reached out to take the "mysterious gift" sent by Rayquaza, the audience in the broadcast room and on the scene witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

【Shock! Black Rayquaza actually py-traded with Teacher Yu in public?】

【Not brother, it's fine that Teacher Yu has Champions in his connections, now even divine beasts have come to give apprenticeship gifts?】

【This..., is this right?】
