Chapter 217 - You Call Yourself the "Strongest Dragon"? Eat My Dragon Ascent! The Transcendent Deity Mega Rayquaza!

In the Footage—

Faced with the Shadow Ball reflected by Wobbuffet, Giratina hurriedly flapped its wings to dodge.

Ghost-type moves are super-effective against Ghost-types; if it were hit by its own attack—now amplified fourfold in power—it wouldn't just be the King of the Reverse World; it would be a dead dragon!

(In theory, Mirror Coat/Counter reflection doesn't account for type advantages in the games, but in this realistic world, the logic holds: Ghost-type move vs. Psychic Wobbuffet deals double damage; Wobbuffet reflects that fourfold; and since Ghost moves are super-effective against Giratina, that's effectively eight times the base damage! No one could survive that!)

The massive Shadow Ball struck a skyscraper, slicing it clean in half. The building crumbled into dust. Fortunately, most civilians had evacuated, or the casualties would have been catastrophic!

[Cynthia: !!!!]

[Alder: Good grief, Cynthia is so shocked she's lost the ability to speak!]

Indeed, the Sinnoh Champion was speechless. This scene shattered her lifelong understanding of Pokémon. That was Giratina, the third god of Sinnoh!

[Brandon: Precisely because Cynthia is a historian, she understands better than anyone what Giratina's power represents.]

[Professor Oak: I know a bit about Giratina as well. Legends say it was banished to the Reverse World due to its violent nature. It is the absolute ruler of that dimension!]

[Cynthia: ...Yes. Legend says Arceus itself banished it. Giratina is said to possess power surpassing both Dialga and Palkia. But...]

But why was its ultimate move parried by a Wobbuffet?! The usually calm and analytical Cynthia was reeling.

Wobbuffet is a common Pokémon, yet it didn't just endure a super-effective STAB move from a god—it sent it back with such ferocity that the God of Death didn't dare touch it. Where did Team Rocket find such a monster?!

[Will: Wobbuffet is a unique species from Johto. Since it can't initiate attacks, trainers usually focus entirely on its HP and defenses. But that was a Shadow Ball from Giratina! Even a Champion-level Wobbuffet shouldn't be able to tank that!]

The world fell silent. Between the logic-defying Pikachu and this "God-Slayer" Wobbuffet, people began to wonder: Is Team Rocket actually the secondary protagonist group of this world? How else could they possess such high-tier assets?

In the Footage—

After the reflection, Team Rocket fled at top speed. Meanwhile, Ash and Pikachu, riding the Mega Eon duo, launched a counter-offensive against the God of the Earth, Primal Groudon.

Groudon's massive frame made it sluggish. The agile Latios and Latias easily danced around its attacks, peppering it with Dragon Pulse and Luster Purge.

Though Groudon's defense was immense, it looked like a helpless giant being swarmed by flies.

Unbound Hoopa, frustrated, signaled the other controlled gods to surround Ash. Its primary goal was to erase the small Hoopa; the Rayquaza was just a distraction to be stalled. Dialga, Palkia, and Primal Kyogre closed in.

However, the Mega Eon duo were like futuristic fighter jets. The encirclement actually backfired; the controlled gods, blinded by rage, began hitting each other.

The heavy Groudon took the brunt of the friendly fire. Dialga's Roar of Time and Palkia's Spacial Rend tore through the city, reducing skyscrapers to rubble.

Ash led them on a high-speed chase, but Kyurem stayed on his tail. Kyurem's tail suddenly flared with fire, and its form shifted once more.

White Kyurem! It channeled massive energy into its generators, unleashing a terrifying AOE: Ice Burn!

Red-purple cold flames filled the sky, freezing the very air. The attack was too broad to dodge. Just as the chill was about to claim Ash, a black shadow streaked across the sky. Mega Rayquaza threw itself in the way, shielding Ash with its own body.

Ice crystals formed on Rayquaza's scales. A 4x super-effective hit from the "Strongest Dragon" should have been a one-shot kill. Yet, to the world's surprise, Rayquaza shook it off, wounded but far from defeated!

[Professor Oak: Wait, look at the weather! When Rayquaza Mega Evolved, the harsh sunlight and torrential rain vanished, replaced by strange turbulence!]

[Steven Stone: Exactly! That's the Delta Stream! Under these air currents, any move that is super-effective against Flying-types has its damage halved! Rayquaza isn't 4x weak to ice anymore—it's only 2x weak!]

Steven laughed triumphantly, glancing at Alder. "Well, Champion Alder? Still think Kyurem can just walk over Rayquaza?"

[Alder: ...]

[Ash (Watching the screen): Mr. Alder... I know you want to defend Unova's legends, but Kyurem is currently the bad guy here. Rayquaza is taking hits for me! If Rayquaza loses, the world is in trouble!]

Alder went silent. Ash was right. Regardless of his pride, his region's strongest dragon was currently acting as a puppet for a demon.

[Steven Stone: But... does that black Rayquaza know Ash? Why would it sacrifice itself like that? Usually, Rayquaza is incredibly aloof and prideful. It only intervenes for global catastrophes. For it to follow Ash's commands and play bodyguard... is there some history here?]

In the Footage—

Recovering instantly from the cold flames, Mega Rayquaza lunged. It coiled its body around White Kyurem and dragged the dragon down into the river. The extreme cold of Kyurem's body instantly turned the water into a massive glacier.

The two titans burst out of the ice, locked in a struggle. Rayquaza whipped its tail, glowing with blue energy, and smashed it into Kyurem's face—Dragon Tail!

Without giving its opponent a moment to breathe, Rayquaza fired a massive, dark-purple Dragon Pulse at point-blank range, sending Kyurem tumbling through the air.

Finally, emerald light cloaked the Sky High King. It accelerated to impossible speeds, striking Kyurem's core.

DRAGON ASCENT!!

The "Strongest Dragon in the World" crashed into the city streets, buried under debris, unable to rise. The black dragon hovered in the sky, looking down with disdain.

You call yourself the strongest? Let me show you what true strength looks like.

[Steven Stone: YES! That is the power of MEGA RAYQUAZA! The real King of Dragons!]

[Professor Oak: I think we need a new classification. Legendaries like the Unova Dragons or normal Groudon are "Primary Legendaries." But entities like Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Mega Rayquaza... they are "Transcendent Deities." They exist on an entirely different plane of power!]
