Chapter 699 - 368: Rayquaza, the Great Hero

"A long, long time ago, there were two Pokemon in this world called Groudon and Kyogre."

"One represented the earth, and the other represented the ocean. The two Pokemon constantly battled over the centuries to expand their territories."

"Their immense strength brought about torrential rains worldwide, the sky was covered in thick dark clouds."

"People living in the world saw this situation and thought the apocalypse was near, so they prayed to heaven for someone to come and save them."

"Perhaps heaven heard their prayers, suddenly, the clouds parted, and bright light shone through the layers of clouds."

"A powerful and heroic Dragon Type Pokemon descended."

"Its strength was immense, and it engaged in a great battle with Groudon and Kyogre, successfully stopping their conflict."

"In the end, Groudon, heavily chastised by the Dragon Pokemon, returned to the volcano to sleep, while Kyogre went to a deep sea cave to slumber."

"That Dragon Pokemon’s name is Rayquaza."

"Witnessing this epic battle, humans built a Sky Pillar dedicated to Rayquaza to commemorate it, and within the tower, they recorded its heroic world-saving moments with murals."

The story concludes, with Naoki seeing the three Dragon Type Pokemon before him all revealing looks of admiration.

Cyclizar: "Gao!" (Amazing!)

Koraidon looked deeply moved.

Dragonite had fully immersed itself in the story, imagining itself as the hero who saved the world.

Naoki glanced at Dragonite, suddenly recalling that Dragonite had seen two of the Hoenn legends.

But seeing Dragonite couldn’t remember, Naoki reminded, "Dragonite, you actually met Rayquaza and Kyogre before."

"Ow?" Dragonite quickly asked.

Naoki: "It was last year when you said you encountered a black Dragon-type Pokemon in the eye of the typhoon at sea, wasn’t it?"

Hearing this, a mysterious, pitch-black figure immediately surfaced in Dragonite’s mind.

A light bulb lit up on its head.

"Ow!" It remembered!

"That Pokemon is Rayquaza," Naoki paused before continuing, "And the blue Pokemon that fought you and defeated you at sea was the Sea God Kyogre."

"Ow..." Dragonite seemed a bit incredulous, as the Pokemon hadn’t revealed its name back then, causing Dragonite to always assume it was merely a rather strong Fish-type Pokemon.

Seeing Dragonite’s reaction, Naoki smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you’re really lucky! You know, some humans and Pokemon may never see a Legendary Pokemon in their lifetime, yet you’ve seen two."

Not just two.

There were also Zapdos, Koraidon, Giratina, Calyrex, and its two steeds.

Dragonite felt incredibly excited.

So those two Pokemon were Rayquaza and Kyogre!

"Alright, the story’s finished, now it’s time to go to sleep."

Dragonite found itself too excited to sleep, so after Naoki went to sleep, it wanted to take Koraidon and Cyclizar to find the great hero Rayquaza who saved the world from Groudon and Kyogre.

Koraidon thought of something, his expression turned a bit odd and he spoke: "Ah gasi..." It seemed he found the matter rather dull.

Koraidon didn’t want to go, so Dragonite turned its gaze to Cyclizar, asking: "Ow?"

Cyclizar looked troubled: "Gao..."

Though it really wanted to go, it had no wings and couldn’t fly!

"Ow." That indeed was a problem.

Dragonite thought carefully about a solution for Cyclizar.

Very soon, it came up with a good idea!

That was to let Cyclizar enter its Poke Ball, and then it would carry a small backpack with the Poke Ball inside and set off!

Dragonite immediately shared this suggestion with Cyclizar.

"Gao..." Cyclizar was tempted, but thinking about leaving the ranch for the outside world, Naoki would be worried about them.

Regarding this, Dragonite vowed sincerely: "Ow ow!" (Don’t worry, I’m a fast flyer. We’ll be back before dawn! When Naoki wakes up, we’ll already be back!)

Seeing Dragonite’s earnest demeanor, Cyclizar’s eyes lit up, thinking this was indeed a good idea.

So it ran back to the living room, where Calyrex was still watching TV. It glanced at Cyclizar’s sneaky figure with some surprise but said nothing.

Cyclizar found its Poke Ball on the rack and quickly darted out the door.

On its first time doing something behind Naoki’s back, Cyclizar felt nervous yet excited.

There were still Pokemon awake on the ranch.

Ogerpon was chatting with Butterfree on the grass and seeing Cyclizar and Dragonite seemed about to do something, she immediately called out:

"Boni!"

Cyclizar and Dragonite turned around, and Dragonite excitedly shared the story Naoki had just told them with Ogerpon and Butterfree.

Learning that they were planning to find the great hero Rayquaza, Ogerpon, already filled with adventure desire and curiosity, was instantly intrigued.
