Fortunately, they managed to block the meteor shower; otherwise, whether they would have survived a single blow would have been a matter of luck.
"Mr. Michael!"
Shigeru saw Michael lying on the ground, his clothes torn and tattered, clearly injured by the impact of the explosion.
"Mr. Michael, wake up." Shigeru shook Michael, but Michael didn't respond. He then checked Michael's breathing and found that he was still breathing, so he must have passed out.
Shigeru looked around again and spotted Wallace's three Pokémon. All three Pokémon had been defeated, but they were all with workers nearby, so they were obviously defeated while protecting the workers.
412: Rainbow Meteorite Trial
"Is this Rayquaza's power?!"
This was also the first time that Shigeru had witnessed Rayquaza's power. Although he had seen it in the anime, experiencing it firsthand made him feel increasingly powerless.
Compared to top-tier mythical beasts, humans are clearly incredibly weak.
"Roar!!"
A dragon's roar resounded, and the smoke surrounding Hai Zijin dissipated. Lie Kong sat high in the sky, looking down at everything below.
As Rayquaza looked at the burning Sea Violet and the Pokémon it had defeated, its anger subsided somewhat. However, the thought of its previous ordeal instantly ignited its fury again, and it decided to wipe the Sea Violet off the face of the earth.
"Isn't it over yet?"
Looking at Rayquaza, who hadn't left, Xiao Mao felt helpless.
Gary only had Blastoise and Charizard left in his hands; all the other Pokémon had been defeated. Blastoise and Charizard alone were no match for Rayquaza.
"Let's go."
Now that Xiao Mao is helpless against Rayquaza, he has no choice but to run for his life.
Liekong, you old man, just you wait.
I'll settle the score with you after I subdue Deoxys.
Just as Shigeru was about to recall the defeated Pokémon, he heard a noise behind him.
When Shigeru turned around, he saw the ruins of the round tower behind him, and a Salamence with a pair of blood-red wings flew out. He could vaguely see a person sitting on the Salamence's back.
【LV45 Salamence♂/Champion】
"Level 45! Higana!"
Seeing the level and potential of the Salamence, it's just like the Shellder Dragon that Sigana has.
"It evolved ahead of schedule!" Xiao Mao said in surprise.
The Shellder Dragon needs to be level 50 to evolve into Salamence, but it evolved ahead of schedule.
"Is everything okay?"
Shigeru wasn't sure if Higanbana could communicate with Rayquaza. If she couldn't, Higanbana might perish.
Consider that Groudon and Kyogre are both sentient beings, and Rayquaza is no exception; it should know that there are humans who worship it.
Rayquaza did not launch an attack, but watched as Sidana rode Salamence to a distance of more than ten meters in front of him.
“My Lord Dragon God, I am the inheritor of the Meteor People. This is a meteorite that our clan offers to you.” Higana took out a meteorite from her bosom; it was the very meteorite that had been stolen.
Rayquaza's eyes were fixed on the meteorite in Higana's hand. The next moment, the meteorite in Higana's hand emitted rainbow light from the pitted holes on it. The light became more and more intense, and the rock layers on the surface of the meteorite disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the meteorite. It was a stone that emitted colorful light.
"It really is a rainbow meteorite." Xiao Mao below could also faintly see the rainbow light in the sky above.
The next moment, the rainbow meteorite transformed into a particle-sized energy, drifted towards Rayquaza, and was absorbed by him. The golden ring on Rayquaza's body then emitted golden light.
"Roar!!"
Rayquaza erupted with surging life energy, radiating a rich life energy that, after being transformed by Rayquaza, instantly evolved into Super Rayquaza.
"How did it super evolve?"
Shigeru looked puzzled. Could it be that Rayquaza only mastered Mega Evolution after obtaining the Rainbow Meteorite?
If that's the case, then it's really pathetic. It's not even as good as Groudon and Kyogre, which can evolve into Mega Evolution on their own.
"Lord Dragon God, some of these people below are unaware that you have been arrested. They have been manipulated by bad people. I hope you can forgive them," Xijiana pleaded.
Rayquaza glanced at the sea violet below, and at the fallen elves and humans beneath its meteor shower. The anger in its heart gradually dissipated. Then it looked at Higanbana, exited its Mega Evolution form, and flew into the sky.
Higanbana also offered a devout prayer as she watched Rayquaza depart.
"it is finally over."
Seeing Rayquaza disappear into the distance, Xiao Mao's heart finally settled down.
Just now, Shigeru was about to pull Michael into the sea and escape through the water, but fortunately, Higana appeared in time and prevented Shigeru from losing face.
"Shigeru, I finally finished the trial!" Higanbana said excitedly as she rode her Salamence down.
Because she had met the Dragon God of her dreams for the first time and had completed the trial, Higana was very excited.
"Stop being so happy, hurry up and save them!" Xiao Mao said.
"Oh!"
Xijiana then remembered that she needed to save people and rushed to do so.
After spraying medicine on his defeated Pokémon, Gary put it into a Poké Ball, and also helped Wallace put his Pokémon into a Poké Ball.
Because of Rayquaza's meteor shower, many workers on the Sea Violet were injured or killed. In any case, the Great Violet Company is finished this time. Not only did it illegally capture Rayquaza, but it also caused so many casualties. It is definitely not far from going bankrupt.
"…Shigeru, what happened while I was unconscious?" While Shigeru was busy, Mikey woke up.
When Mikkuri woke up, he found that Rayquaza was gone and all his Pokémon had been recalled into their Poké Balls. He saw Gary directing Blastoise and Eevee to put out the fire, so he went over to ask what was going on.
"Mr. Michael, you're finally awake. Are you alright?" Shigeru asked.
“I’m alright, I was just knocked unconscious by the shock of the explosion. Tell me what happened while I was unconscious?” Mikoli asked.
“I told you before, Higanbana was escorting the meteorite to Rayquaza. It seems the Meteor Dwellers can communicate with Rayquaza. After Rayquaza received the meteorite, he forgave us and left,” Gary said.
"That's great! I'll leave things here to you, Shigeru. I need to go check on things in Lilycove City." Michael was still concerned about Daigo's situation.
It's quite a headache that three ancient Pokémon have appeared in one day.
"Are you feeling alright right now?" Xiao Mao asked.
Although Mikkuri wasn't seriously injured, he desperately needed rest, especially since all his main Pokémon had been defeated and he had no Pokémon left to use.
"I'll be fine."
After saying that, Mikoli also joined in the rescue, releasing the Lucky Kappa to help.
Before arriving at the Sea of Violet, Mikuri had notified the Hoenn League. Not long after, the Hoenn League's search team arrived and joined Kuon.
Moreover, Mikkel learned from the arriving personnel that the matter concerning waterway 124 had been resolved.
Groudon and Kyogre did fight, but it was just a minor skirmish. With Lance's mediation, the two Pokémon stopped fighting and both withdrew from Route 124.
Xiao Mao was not surprised by this; he already knew the final outcome of the battle.
413: Dawu’s thank you gift
Hai Zijin has entrusted the entire process to the Alliance.
Shigeru, Higana, Mikuri, and the others returned to Kaina City to rest before nightfall.
Arrive at the Pokémon Center.
Gary handed the defeated Pokémon to Nurse Joy for treatment.
"Shigeru, Michael!"
A familiar voice came from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Daigo walk in.
Daigo originally went to check out Route 124, but as soon as he flew to the side, he received a notification that the matter on Route 124 had been resolved.
Knowing that the matter concerning the Sea of Purple Jade was related to Rayquaza, he immediately rushed back. However, after flying for a short while, he received another notification that Rayquaza had already left and was handling the formalities.
Daigo spent the whole day on the road and didn't do anything.
"Daigo, I'm injured. I think I need to take a two-month vacation to rest." Upon seeing Daigo, Michael immediately expressed his desire to take a vacation.
Xiao Mao was dumbfounded.
You weren't like this before on the sea violet.
After Mikoli woke up, he inquired about Hai Zijing's condition and, after confirming that she was not in danger, prepared to go to Waterway 124 to check on her. Why did she suddenly turn into 143, looking so lazy, greedy, and cunning?
"Oh, where are you hurt?" Daigo asked with concern. He had heard that Michael and Gary had gotten into a fight with Rayquaza.
Upon hearing Michael say that he was injured, Daigo immediately became worried.
"It's nothing, just the impact of the explosion. I'll just take a two-month break," Mikoli said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing Michael's request, Daigo realized he had been tricked, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It's because Daigo forced Mikuri to become the champion; Mikuri himself didn't want to be the champion.
"Okay, then you should rest. Anyway, nothing major is going to happen anytime soon," Daigo said.
Xiao Mao felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.
Who is the champion between you two? Why does the current partner need to get approval from the ex for leave?
"Shigeru, Higanbana, are you two alright?" After calming Michael down, Daigo also asked about Shigeru and Higanbana's condition.
"It's okay! I'm fine." Higanbana waved her hand to indicate that she was alright. She was still very excited. She had seen Rayquaza, completed the trial, and her ace Shellder had evolved into Salamence. She couldn't be happier.
“I’m fine, but there’s something I need Mr. Daigo’s help with,” Shigeru said.
"Please tell me, as long as it's within my power, I will not refuse," Daigo said.
Gary has done the Hoenn region such a big favor, Steven should definitely thank him properly. Even if Gary were to ask him for a Mega Stone now, Steven would agree.
"It's like this, as you all know, Xijiana is unregistered, which makes living outside quite difficult. We hope you can help resolve Xijiana's residency issue," Xiaomao said.
"Hey, Shigeru, this is what you asked for help with?" Michael looked surprised. He had been wondering what Shigeru wanted Daigo to do for him, but it turned out to be this.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xiao Mao didn't really think much of it. The key point was that he was just lending a hand this time. If anyone really played a crucial role, it was Xijia Na.
Without Higana, everyone on the Sea Purple Jade would have died at the hands of Rayquaza.
