After hearing Gardevoir's voice, Zekrom and Reshiram instantly chickened out.
They both clearly knew that this Gardevoir was the cruelest one in the team.
One word wrong and she'd start killing.
Gardevoir glanced at Rayquaza, who was desperately dodging Kyurem's attacks, her lips moving slightly, ["I'll give you two seconds to decide."]
["Before you act as your master's Pokémon, we have no obligation to keep you alive."]
["Whether the master captures Zekrom and Reshiram, or the legendary Unova Dragon God, it makes no difference to us."]
["Got it, we got it!"]
Reshiram and Zekrom spoke in unison, each holding their half of the combo meal and burying their heads to start eating.
At the same time, a white energy and a black energy respectively appeared on them.
Those energies radiated out from the Light Stone and Dark Stone, forming a huge yin-yang diagram with the two stones as the eyes.
Rayquaza happened to be exactly at the center of that yin-yang diagram.
Endless yin-yang energy passed through the yin-yang diagram into Rayquaza's body, and his aura began to surge again.
Level 56... 57... 58...
From Axel's perspective, Rayquaza's level jumped upward almost every second.
Seeing Rayquaza's behavior, Kyurem let out a tremendous roar.
A voice completely different from Kyurem's just now came from the sky.
That voice was vast and boundless, as if it made the whole Unova tremble.
["Foreign Pokémon, you have crossed the boundary!"]
While Rayquaza absorbed energy, he shot back at that voice, ["I crossed the boundary?"]
["Roy said, 'All under heaven are the emperor's land; all under the land are the emperor's subjects.'"]
["If I hadn't been lazy back then, and if Genghis hadn't failed to find Xerneas, this place would've been called Aurient long ago, okay?"]
["You!",] Kyurem emitted a gigantic roar; ice crystals on his body grew denser, clearly enraged.
As Rayquaza danced upward and leveled, he continued thinking of how to taunt this brutal fellow Kyurem.
'You really think you're the only one full of fire, huh?'
'It's not just about fire!'
After sleeping for thousands of years, when Rayquaza first awoke he was excited, thinking he'd be revered as the legendary ancestor and his Pokémon would be lavishly worshiped.
But right after being born, Axel, a trainer who didn't even have dragon Pokémon then, snatched the secret realm away.
More importantly, that little girl Gardevoir chased him around scolding and hitting him.
Rayquaza originally wanted to curse them out, but after seeing the image of them guarding Aurient, he lost his nerve.
'This damn family full of loyalty, how can I curse them?'
Later, Gardevoir even disdained Rayquaza, not letting him communicate with Axel, afraid his presence would pressure Axel.
If not for occasionally chatting through his dragon scales with the general and teaching moves, he would've been stifled long ago.
Now finally reborn, could he let this ice dragon run wild?
'I may feel guilty toward Gardevoir and Axel, but not toward you!'
Starting wars across Unova for thousands of years and calling yourself the Unova Dragon God?
Rayquaza decided to rile Kyurem properly.
He turned and looked at the two stones embedded in the yin-yang diagram behind him, "Zekrom, Reshiram!"
Hearing Rayquaza's voice, the two cowardly dragons weakly responded, "Here!"
"I ask you, have I crossed the boundary?"
"No!", the Black Dragon and White Dragon replied resolutely.
The Black Dragon even rolled his eyes and said something that nearly made Kyurem faint with anger.
"You just said this place is Aurient, how can that count as crossing the boundary?"
The White Dragon hurriedly echoed, "Yeah, yeah, this is Aurient. This big idiot Kyurem is the one who crossed the boundary!"
The moment the two dragons finished speaking, some special change seemed to appear in heaven and earth.
Rayquaza's aura suddenly leapt up by a large margin, even faintly surpassing Kyurem.
Even Rayquaza himself was stunned.
'What's going on, how did I get stronger again?'
'This strength even feels a bit over the limit to me!'
Almost instinctively, Rayquaza fixed his gaze on Axel.
Besides Axel, he couldn't think of anyone else who might have such an incredible ability.
Axel blinked and instantly figured everything out.
Although those two were cowards, they indeed represented the will of the Unova region.
Now that they said this place was Aurient, it truly became Aurient.
Then...
Rayquaza's "Guardian Deity of Aurient" entry took effect.
Although absurd, it was very reasonable.
At the same time, the yin-yang diagram behind Rayquaza stopped rotating, and his level halted at level seventy.
["Fight first, Rayquaza. Afterward Gardevoir and I will tell you what's going on."]
["Okay!"]
Hearing Axel, Rayquaza stopped talking and instantly took a battle stance.
His dance became more nimble, his big eyes burning as he stared at Kyurem before him.
Then...
"Rayquaza, use Thunder Wave!"
Rayquaza: "..."
'Damn! Your trainer's really cautious!'
Although grumbling inside, Rayquaza obediently moved next to Kyurem.
An enormous current, like a thunder strike, surged from Rayquaza and fiercely covered Kyurem.
Kyurem instantly fell into paralysis.
After that move landed, Axel inexplicably pictured Cynthia in his mind, continuously simulating the battle style of Garchomp; his spirit and Rayquaza almost became one.
"Sky Uppercut!"
"ROAR!"
Rayquaza let out a great roar, his form quickly rising to appear above Kyurem.
A massive bulk radiated intense Normal-type energy, pressing down hard on Kyurem's head.
Kyurem reflexively wanted to use Protect, but it was far too late.
This Rayquaza was not at all inferior in type to Kyurem, and in speed and attack he completely overwhelmed him.
More importantly, when Rayquaza fought, it seemed the whole Unova continent kept shouting, as if rejoicing the revival of their new king.
BANG!
Rayquaza's body fiercely crushed down on Kyurem; with a tremendous crash, Kyurem was slammed into the sea.
The ice cracked instantly, and waves rose dozens of meters high.
"Don't pursue, use Thunder directly!"
Although Kyurem could resist Electric-type damage to some extent, Axel remembered clearly.
Once a Pokémon is soaked with water, Electric moves can deal tremendous damage.
Ash's Pikachu and Red's Pikachu had both beaten Onix with electric attacks before.
Now Kyurem was immersed in the sea, drenched head to toe.
Thunder was the best attack.
"ROAR!"
Hearing Axel's continuous commands, Rayquaza roared wildly, feeling exhilarated.
The feeling of not needing to think was too good.
Vast currents surged over him; endless Electric energy connected to the thunderclouds in the sky.
Without warning, the clouds above condensed, thunder rumbling from within.
Across the entire sky, the only unaffected thing was the huge bright moon Gardevoir had just summoned.
Everywhere else visible was shrouded by storm clouds.
Countless lightning pillars formed instantly, striking down fiercely toward the sea.
The whole surface of the ocean flashed with wild electricity, as if a massive explosion could happen at any moment.
