Chapter 698: Stop it, Rayquaza!
The Sky Pillar towers into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the top of the pillar cannot be seen at a glance.
Lu Ye rode Latias and landed on the platform at the bottom of the Sky Pillar. He glanced at the entrance and guessed, "So, Ruby and Safia entered the trial first... and then another trainer also entered the Sky Pillar?"
Daigo was leaning over to survey the footprints.
"That's possible." Daigo stood up and frowned, "I think Ruby and the others want to solve the disaster of Groudon and Kyogre as soon as possible, so they don't want to waste time on the battle."
No one could have imagined that the crisis of the Twin Gods of Hoenn would be resolved so quickly.
Qianli looked at the black-haired young man with respect, and then said in a deep voice:
"Luby and the others probably haven't heard that the crisis has been resolved yet."
"Let's go into the Sky Pillar." Lu Ye said, "Maybe we can find them."
No one has ever counted the exact number of floors in the Sky Pillar. All we know is that it would take at least a day to climb it on foot.
Not to mention that the pillar is also shrouded in the intimidating aura of Rayquaza, ancient Pokémon such as the Psychic Dolls, and cracks in the floor can be seen everywhere.
There are dangers everywhere. If you are not careful, you may step on the stairs and fall from a height of hundreds of meters!
"Can't we fly here?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes, but Rayquaza can sense the situation inside the Sky Pillar. Flying in the territory of the Sky God may anger Him," Daigo replied.
Lu Ye pointed to the front, where a telekinetic clay doll with one eye spinning around was floating: "Then how can this guy fly?!"
Nian Li Dou:? "roar!!"
The King of Asking for Leave scratched his nose, his eyes suddenly became stern, and he swung his sharp claws, surging with the phantom of "Shadow Claws", and knocked the telekinetic clay doll unconscious with one move!
The telekinetic clay doll fell to the ground, circles of eyes appeared, and the passage leading to the second floor appeared before their eyes.
Qianli took back the request for leave and said calmly, "Okay, let's continue on our journey."
Lu Ye: “…”
As expected of the Master of Qianli Pavilion, he is a ruthless man who doesn't talk much! Boom! Everyone looked up at the ceiling, which was shaking off the wall debris. A battle broke out on a higher floor, but it was difficult to identify the specific floor.
Lu Ye looked at the fragile ceiling and suggested:
"How about we make a hole in the ceiling and fly all the way up?"
Daigo and Chisato's expressions changed slightly and they shook their heads at the same time.
In this case, forget about asking Rayquaza for help, He is already showing mercy by not killing him!
"Well then." Lu Ye gave in, "Then let's fly up the stairs... since the fight has already started, flying is just a small matter."
Daigo and Chisato looked at each other and finally accepted the proposal.
The staircase is spiral-shaped and winds upward.
Daigo's white giant steel monster had air gushing out of its four arms, and he rushed ahead on foot.
Teacher Lu acted steadily and was in charge of covering the rear. He thought to himself, "We can't use our skills here. We need to get to the big platform on the top floor so that we can use Palkia's space teleportation!"
Boom! The explosions from the battle became more intense. The three of them sped up again and looked out the stone window. They were already above the sea of clouds.
About 20 floors up, the red light of the flame illuminated the stairs, and Qianli suddenly paused: "This is it!"
** Ten hours ago, Ruby and Safia were the first to enter the Sky Pillar. Ruby used the energy blocks she left behind to attract groups of ancient Pokémon, and then delayed Shijiana who was chasing after her.
However, the trial of the Sky Pillar even includes puzzles and mechanisms. After a night, seeing that the top floor is just around the corner, Shijiana catches up with Luby and the others.
Xi Jiana was wearing a cloak, with a Flying Dragon and a Sonic Dragon floating beside her. She said coldly, "I said... people from the Devon Company, leave the territory of Lord Dragon God!"
The successor recognized by Rayquaza is not Shijiana, but her friend of the same name, Shijiana.
'Shio Jiana' is the inheritor of the prophecy of the Meteor People, who will make Rayquaza Mega Evolve and then shatter the super-giant meteorite.
However, 'Shijiana' lost her life in a conflict with Devon Company... Therefore, Shijiana took over the name of inheritor and vowed to undertake her friend's mission to save Hoenn in her own way.
Because Shijiana is a "fake", she was not recognized by Rayquaza in either the game or the special.
However, her determination to shoulder the mission and seek revenge for her deceased friend is no less than that of Daigo, President Tsutomu and others.
"I don't know your origins, but..."
Ruby stared at Dragonite and held Safiya's hand tightly, "We also have a mission that we must complete!"
"ZUZU, ZUZU, Mega Evolution!!"
Swampert and Blaziken completed their Mega Evolutions at the same time. At the same moment, Shijiana's Super Anklet shone with white light.
Under the shining rainbow light, the blood-red wings of the Flying Dragon turned into a crescent moon, and it roared: "Roar!!"
Mega Dragonite is aggressive by nature and will even attack its trainer, so it is called the 'Bloody Crescent'.
Xi Jiana had no time to think about the fact that she was in the Sky Pillar. The pain of her friend's death and her anger towards Devon Company blinded her eyes.
"Violent Flying Dragon, charge at the cost of your life!"
"Roar!!" Mega Dragon flapped its crescent-shaped wings, creating a strong wind in the narrow space!
"Water Pledge!" Ruby and Safiya said at the same time, "Fire Pledge!"
The flames clung to the outside of the water column and crashed into the Tyrannosaurus, stopping it. Amidst the billowing black smoke, a brilliant rainbow rose!
“A mere trifle…” Shijiana covered the black smoke with her hand, her cloak rustling with the air waves, and threw the Poké Ball in her palm fiercely, “Slimy Dragon, Freeze Beam!”
"Woo!!" A gray-purple slimy dragon with a round body and covered in mucus took a deep breath and exhaled a sharp blue beam of light.
The beam fell to the ground, freezing Ruby and Safiya's ankles, seemingly triggering the additional effect of 'freezing'!
Ruby and Safiya did not dodge, but stared blankly behind Shijiana with happy expressions on their faces.
"I don't have time to mess around with you guys anymore." Xijiana snapped her fingers and said coldly, "Volatile Dragon, use--"
"That's enough, little girl." Qianli stood behind Xijiana and said in a deep voice: "King of Leave, Million Ton Punch!"
Xijiana turned around suddenly and saw a ferocious King of Leave swinging his fist and flying towards Mega Dragonite.
Boom! !
Mega Dragonite couldn't dodge in time and was knocked back by the punch, smashing the wall at the edge and roaring in pain!
"Ha~" The King of Asking for Leave yawned and picked his nose arrogantly.
Qianli crossed his arms, with a look of protectiveness written all over his face!
"Father/Uncle!" Ruby and Safiya said at the same time.
Qianli glanced at her son and future daughter-in-law and nodded grimly.
"You are..." Shijiana's eyes fell on Daigo's iconic blue hair and she bit her lip tightly, "You are from Dewen Company!"
Daigo had heard of the "traitor" of the Meteor People. She was originally just an ordinary person, but for the sake of her deceased friend Shio Jiana, she took on the mission of "inheritor" despite the opposition of her own people.
In fact, Daigo frowned slightly. Dewen Company really owed her a lot...
"They are, but I'm not." Lu Ye interrupted, "I'm from the Pokémon Company."
Everyone was stunned.
Xijiana stared blankly at the handsome black-haired young man, then shook her head.
Then don't put him on the hit list...
"The heir of the Meteor Clan." Daigo frowned with apology, "I deeply apologize for what Dewen Company has done."
"But we have the same mission, to save Hoenn." Daigo's eyes flickered, "Inheritor, perhaps you can join hands with Devon Company..."
"Hand in hand?" Xi Jiana interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xijiana paused, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"I will no longer believe what you hypocrites say."
"I will use my own way to forge a bond with Lord Dragon God, and then save the entire Hoenn."
After saying that, Shigana raised her hand, put the Pokémon back into the Poké Ball, and walked straight towards Daigo and Chisato.
Bang! Shijiana pushed Daigo and Chisato aside, walked between them, and headed towards the top of the Sky Pillar.
The girl with short black hair looked up at the light on the top floor with a fierce look in her eyes.
I will complete the mission for you, Xi Jiana...
Xijiana called the name of her deceased friend in her heart.
Even if it costs me my life, I will fulfill my promise!
"Aren't you going to catch up? Mr. Daigo!"
Safiya said anxiously, "There are Groudon and Kyogre outside..."
"The crisis of Groudon and Kyogre has been resolved."
Daigo said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Teacher Lu defeated them."
Ruby and Safiya were both startled and looked at Teacher Lu blankly.
Without the help of Rayquaza, Mr. Lu defeated the Twin Gods of Hoenn! ? Then what is the point of coming to the Sky Pillar! Lu Ye seemed to see the confusion of the two and explained: "The huge meteorite in 10 days will still require the assistance of Mega Rayquaza... I think I still have to go see Rayquaza."
"Well, the guy just now..." Ruby said.
"Her name is Shijiana." Daigo's eyes flashed with memories, and he looked up and said, "Let her take the test of Rayquaza... After all, that is the right that the people of Meteor should have."
Xijiana and Devon Company both tried to deal with the super-giant meteorite in different ways.
The heritage of the Meteor People, the science of the Dewen Group... the contradictions between the two sides are becoming increasingly acute and irreconcilable.
Lu Ye looked at the stairs where Xijiana left, his eyes flashing slightly.
Carrying the mission of her deceased friend and fighting against the torrent of capital alone, Xijiana has the aura of a utopian hero.
But as Mr. Lu told N in the United States, this world is not black and white.
In order to deal with the meteorites, the Meteor People can also join hands with their former enemy, Devin Company.
Shijiana is unaware of this at the moment, and is stubbornly determined to form a bond with Rayquaza and seek his power.
Lu Ye shook his head.
Rayquaza is not stupid, how could he be used as a weapon by Shijiana...
"What would happen if that girl wasn't recognized by Rayquaza?" Safiya asked in a low voice.
"She will be attacked by Rayquaza." Qianli replied in a deep voice: "Unlike you and Ruby, she is a citizen of the Meteor, and will be punished more severely."
Ruby was stunned, her eyes widened: "She knows this, so she..."
"Let's go up together." Lu Ye said.
Everyone looked at Teacher Lu.
I saw crystal white light all over his body, and a wave of time and space surged around him.
Lu Ye looked toward the dome.
Shijiana is not the successor favored by Rayquaza... but she will not die here.
Because Teacher Lu understands Xijiana's state of mind, and possesses faith and strength that Dewen Company and Meteor People cannot achieve.
Inheritance, science, revenge, mission...these are all too vague, rigid and mundane.
Facing the sky god who is high above and looking down upon Hoenn, there is only one transcendent answer -
"Not the successor of the Rayquaza test."
Lu Ye's eyes condensed, and the air wave blew his black hair. He said: "It's the successor, the test of Liekongza!"
…
Sky Pillar, top floor.
What meets the eye is a desolate pile of rocks, a misty sea of clouds, and an invisible menace shrouding the place.
Xijiana reached the top floor, her gray cloak fluttering and her legs feeling a little weak.
She took a deep breath, stepped into the mist, and suddenly stopped.
A layer of special gas enveloped her eyes. Shijiana knew very well that the main component was ozone. When Rayquaza was dormant outside the ozone layer, he would wrap himself in ozone.
This also means that the 'Dragon God' is very close! Xi Jiana carefully rubbed forward, her eyes were shrouded in thick clouds and mist, and she could only vaguely distinguish the direction.
Crack! The rubble was kicked away, and Xijiana's pupils shrank rapidly. In the depths of the mist, a huge figure was slowly waking up!
A strong wind swept in, and Xijiana crossed her arms, and her cloak fluttered.
The fog suddenly dissipated, and a giant green dragon appeared before our eyes, with its body coiled and its sharp claws stretched out.
Super ancient Pokémon, the god of the sky, Rayquaza!!
The golden lines all over his body flickered, and Rayquaza let out a sharp roar.
"roar--!!"
The strong intimidation made it impossible to breathe. A drop of sweat ran from Xijiana's cheek to her collarbone. She raised her cheek, and a tenacious luster flashed in her dark pupils.
Bang! Shijiana took a step closer to Rayquaza, knelt on one knee, lowered her head and said loudly:
"Lord Dragon God, I am the heir of the Meteor People lineage. Please... establish a bond with me!"
The roaring stopped.
Rayquaza's violent and arrogant yellow eyes stared coldly at Xijiana, and an inhuman voice sounded in Xijiana's heart: "You are not the inheritor of the Meteor People, but you have the aura of that inheritor."
Xi Jiana was startled and replied in a hoarse voice:
"Xijiana has left... Now, I will complete her mission!"
Rayquaza narrowed his eyes, and the golden lines on his body flickered. The energy storage body called the 'Emperor Organ' emitted dazzling golden light, and his voice was like a question: "Are you teasing me?"
A sense of crisis surged up Xijiana's spine. She took out the golden scroll from her arms, presented it with both hands, bowed her head and knelt on the ground:
"Lord Dragon God, this is the symbol of the people of Meteor, the heir... Please, please... take it back!"
"ROAR--!!" Rayquaza didn't reply and roared out a violent gale.
The strong wind blew the scroll away, and Shijiana's pupils contracted. 'Lord Dragon God' had no intention of retrieving the scroll!
Boom! Rayquaza's sharp claws landed on Shijiana's back. With just a light swing, a crack several meters wide appeared on the sole of Shijiana's feet. Her pupils turned gray and she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Rayquaza is not a gentle god to begin with, and in Rayquaza's eyes, Shijiana's behavior is undoubtedly a provocation!
Sau——
Rayquaza opened his mouth wide, and a violent ball of light surged out of his mouth! A black shadow quickly passed by, carrying the dying Xijiana behind a huge rock.
Shijiana opened her gray eyes and looked at the Pokémon beside her blankly, "Ladi... Yas..."
“Just watch carefully.” Latias said gloomily, “You will only cause trouble to him!”
Xijiana's eyes were dim, and then a glimmer of light appeared as she looked towards the battlefield behind the boulder.
On the top of the vast sky pillar, there were rocks everywhere, and Liekong was sitting with his vast body, looking around with disdainful eyes.
There was a tiny black-haired young man standing in front of Rayquaza, looking into his eyes.
"Who are you?" Liekongzuo asked coldly.
Lu Ye did not answer. The shadow extended behind him and suddenly transformed into Darkrai surrounded by mist.
Above the sky, there were five teleportation cracks of different colors, tearing the sky apart and lining up in sequence behind Lu Ye!
Boom boom——!!
Thunder and fire intertwined, shadows were heavy, and the sky was dim.
Blue, red, gray, black, white——time, space, reversal, ideal, reality!!
Rayquaza suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked up at the five surging teleportation cracks in the sky, and was slightly distracted.
"Stop it, Rayquaza."
Lu Ye said calmly: "I will give you an offer you can't refuse."
Rayquaza: ???
