Along with Rayquaza's domineering voice, a massive black dragon-shaped silhouette appeared behind Axel.
It looked like an Eastern divine dragon, its whole body pitch black, adorned with noble red and yellow patterns.
Seven meters tall, dozens of meters long.
Just standing there, it radiated a scalp-numbing pressure.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The moment he saw Rayquaza, Axel's eyes lit up.
Even before the worlds had merged, Axel always felt that Rayquaza's dominance was unmatched.
The reason was simple: because it was the form of an Eastern dragon.
And in the works of the Hoenn generation, Rayquaza had never failed to live up to the title of "Sky Tyrant."
Although this black Rayquaza hadn't learned Dragon Ascent, couldn't unlock Mega Evolution yet, and its level wasn't that high.
Still...
As long as he made a trip to Hoenn or Kalos, Axel was confident he could make Rayquaza grow powerful in no time.
"Rayquaza, you've just been revived. Rest for now, let us handle this ice dragon!"
Axel was afraid that with Rayquaza's current level, barging in recklessly would get it hurt, so he tactfully advised.
Rayquaza blinked, and its impression of Axel improved even more.
'This little guy actually understood courtesy, much better than some brutal little girl. Quite fitting, actually.'
'But... a dragon is only dead, not old!'
"ROAR!"
Rayquaza let out a mighty bellow, its body dancing swiftly.
At the same time, the aura around Rayquaza grew sharper and sharper.
Circles of light surged upward from its body, the dazzling white radiance almost blending into one.
Even Axel, who was used to seeing monstrous Pokémon, felt his scalp prickle.
Stacking countless Dragon Dances instantly, was this the true gold content of black Rayquaza?
And not just Axel, even Rayquaza itself felt a trace of astonishment.
How come after being gone for thousands of years, not only was there no delay in using moves, but the process was even smoother than before?
Even in the past, he could only chain Dragon Dances continuously, never instantly cast them like this.
Instinctively, Rayquaza's gaze fell upon Axel.
Understood. He understood everything.
He had long felt that Axel's Pokémon were abnormally strong, each one radiating strength beyond their level.
Gardevoir and that Ho-Oh both had shown the ability to instantly release moves.
Rayquaza had once blamed it all on Axel being a chosen child of destiny.
After all... in the great era he had descended into, there were plenty of gifted Pokémon who chose unique trainers of the time.
But now it seemed, the special one wasn't Axel's Pokémon, it was Axel himself.
Just like his old master, who had a mysterious ability that made Dragon-types stronger.
The only difference was that Axel's ability was stronger, and its effect range broader.
Thinking this, the corner of Rayquaza's mouth curved in the faintest smile.
'As expected... I, Rayquaza, am the true chosen one.'
'Every master I find is always such an outrageously strong existence."
'In that case, let me show you my might!'
With countless Dragon Dances stacked, Rayquaza surged into the sky, slamming fiercely toward Kyurem, who was about to strike Mewtwo and Gardevoir.
Almost instinctively, Kyurem stopped his attack on Gardevoir and Mewtwo, turning instead toward the incoming Rayquaza.
A violent surge of Ice energy burst from his mouth.
The Ice Beam radiated terrifying pressure, even scattering ice crystals across Mewtwo and Gardevoir, who stood along its path.
It was unimaginable how horrifying the result would be if it struck Rayquaza, who was 4x weak to Ice.
But right then, Rayquaza's body twisted with perfect precision.
The Ice Beam scraped past his scales without causing a scratch.
Below, Axel suppressed his urge to cheer, heart surging with excitement.
'Thi-this was what you called my youth is back?'
Back when he was little, Axel had once sat excited in front of the TV, watching black Rayquaza protect Hoopa and Ash in exactly this way.
The only difference was that now, Axel was here in person. And he was Rayquaza's trainer.
["Rayquaza, can you hear my voice?"]
Axel sent his psychic power upward, loudly calling to Rayquaza.
Although Rayquaza was still somewhat fragile now, his speed and attack had already reached an absurd degree.
As long as he could follow Axel's commands, plus with Eternatus's Dynamax, Axel felt he could absolutely fight Kyurem.
["I can!"], Rayquaza's telepathic voice echoed in Axel's mind.
["But wait a little longer, there's one more thing I must do."]
["Alright!"]
The moment Axel nodded, Rayquaza had already arrived at the center between Gardevoir and Mewtwo.
Rayquaza's eyes gleamed brightly, fixed on the Light Stone and Dark Stone in their hands.
["Zekrom, Reshiram, it's your turn!"]
Inside the two trembling stones, Reshiram and Zekrom heard Rayquaza's voice and instantly snapped out of their fear.
Whether they could break free of Kyurem depended on today.
They each took a step forward, holding the "lovers' combo meal" Dialga had just bought, exchanging glances.
"Ugh~"
The two dragons gagged at the same time.
'Damn it! Sharing a couple's meal with a rival of thousands of years? Impossible!'
But thinking of the terrifying result of being fused into Kyurem, the two dragons still forced themselves to perk up, gazing "tenderly" at each other.
"My foolish brother, this is the first and last time~"
"No, you're the brother!"
"Black (White) Dragon, I want you dead!"
At the critical moment, the two Pokémon started quarreling, leaving Rayquaza speechless.
'Damn it... Yin-Yang energy really aren't so easy to obtain.'
Just as Rayquaza was about to give up on the idea and rely on Axel's commands to win instead, Gardevoir, who had sensed the emotions of the three dragons, suddenly let out a cold laugh.
["Want to die?"]
["Mewtwo, throw the two of them out. Once they're dead, we'll fight."]
["At that time, Master can just capture the Unova Dragon God!"]
Hearing this, Zekrom and Reshiram froze instantly.
'Sister, no! We were just joking!'
