Primal Groudon gazes up at the sky where the Dragon aura of Shiny Rayquaza surges, furiously shaking its massive head.
No, no, no, Giovanni, you want me to fight this Rayquaza?
Am I going to die? I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death.
Primal Groudon already envisions its own weak-looking figure collapsing to the ground, breath running dry, while Shiny Rayquaza rides atop its body, swaggering.
Giovanni can't help but chuckle; it's incredibly funny.
"And you're sure that fat‑headed fish beat this Rayquaza back then?"
Primal Groudon now doubts Giovanni's honesty to no end.
I'm honest, but you can't bluff me with that sort of thing, can you?
"Absolutely true."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Primal Groudon isn't stupid; the aura of this Shiny Rayquaza is stronger than the Mega Rayquaza they faced with Primal Kyogre thousands of years ago.
They couldn't beat that green Mega Rayquaza, so how could fat‑headed fish possibly beat this Shiny Rayquaza?
And look, fat‑headed fish still needs Shiny Rayquaza to come rescue him, doesn't he?
"It's true, though there are some twists," Giovanni concedes.
After all, the way Damian led Primal Kyogre and the others to beat Shiny Rayquaza was almost non-replicable.
Primal Groudon ponders.
Meanwhile, in the air, the atmosphere grows tenser and tenser.
Under the frozen, darkened sky, ice crystals reflect dim light, snowflakes drift down.
Shiny Rayquaza narrows its dragon eyes slightly in discomfort, a light breeze around it to avoid its Flying type weakness.
But even so, Shiny Rayquaza dislikes the cold; even though Delta Stream negates its Flying weakness, it remains Ice‑type weak.
Only not as severely as Four‑times weak to Ice.
"Roar!"
Black Kyurem finally can't hold back; tail turbines flare with blue‑purple light, arcs crackling.
Blue‑purple energy fills its body, forming an aura‑rapped光 ring, dreamlike and beautiful.
Ice type Freeze Shock! Black Kyurem's signature move!
Honestly, despite its fearsome appearance, Freeze Shock and Ice Burn are strikingly beautiful moves, contrasting with Kyurem's shape.
Freeze Shock begins to gather power; Black Kyurem roars and charges at Shiny Rayquaza.
"Roar!"
Shiny Rayquaza isn't backing down, head raised in a roar, green motes of light flashing around its body.
In the next moment, Shiny Rayquaza charges Black Kyurem at high speed, the green motes brightening until they become a razor‑sharp arrow.
Flying type Dragon Ascents!
Dragon Ascents vs Freeze Shock!
Boom!
In the frozen sky, Dragon Ascents and Freeze Shock collide with a mighty impact.
Along with a thunderous explosion centered on Shiny Rayquaza and Black Kyurem, a solid shockwave ripples outward, spilling in all directions.
"So strong!"
Primal Kyogre and other Pokémon retreat instantly; Shadow Mewtwo shimmers in front of Damian, creating a psychic wall.
The dim sky is now filled with deep greens and purples, a breathtaking whirlwind of wind.
An incomparable, fierce wind roars outward, fracturing the ground beneath as the clash generates pressure.
Deep cracks split the frozen ice above them, the ice blocks bearing the onslaught of the flood, Primordial Sea's floodwaters cascading down.
The flood water pours onto Shiny Rayquaza and Black Kyurem still locked in their duel.
But next, the crackling freezing sound continues—floodwaters freeze as Freeze Shock's freezing aura persists around them.
"Roar!"
Shiny Rayquaza, sensing something wrong, powers up, its mighty tail slashing through the air toward Black Kyurem in a powerful Breaking Swipe.
Black Kyurem roars, its mouth gathering a heavy ice glare as Ice Beam fires.
Boom! Breaking Swipe thumps into Black Kyurem, pounding with successive eruptions, and Black Kyurem's roar of pain is driven back.
Meanwhile, the Ice Beams also strike Shiny Rayquaza's upper body.
Shiny Rayquaza groans softly as the water wets its body, freezing effects intensify.
Yet in the blink of an eye, Shiny Rayquaza's upper body is frozen into ice sculptures.
But with a surge, Shiny Rayquaza shatters the ice crystals.
Black Kyurem's dragon eyes gleam with excitement and menace—this is a worthy opponent! Truly strong!
"Both sides are incredibly powerful!"
Witnessing the intense clash between the two sides, Giovanni narrowed his eyes slightly and remarked.
The vastness of this world is clear; even with Primal Groudon, the top Pokémon here remain untouchable.
A pair of prime examples, indeed.
"Ha—Rayquaza would beat it," Primal Groudon boasts with pride.
Though he's never fully fond of Rayquaza, Rayquaza is the boss of their land, sea, and sky.
Both share glory; Groudon firmly stands on Rayquaza's side.
As for Kyurem? Forget about it—who would let you freeze me? Watch and I won't let you off easily!
"Indeed, this Shiny Rayquaza has the advantage, but Groudon—careful!"
Giovanni nods; the recent clash indeed shows Shiny Rayquaza has the edge.
But before Giovanni can finish, Primal Groudon is reminded.
"What happened?"
Primal Groudon looks puzzled, but suddenly a powerful Hydro Pump roars in from afar, slamming into Primal Groudon.
Primal Groudon cries out in pain; its body is shoved backward.
"Roar!"
Primal Groudon regains its footing, glaring at the ambushers—Primal Kyogre.
Primal Kyogre roars back, smugly snickering at the slight.
"Roar! (Damn you, stupid fish, won't you come down and fight me to the death!)"
"Uuu～ (Haha, Laughing so hard, you non-flying stupid lizard,, you got nerves to challenge me!)"
"You come down!"
"You go up!"
"You…"
Listening to the quarrel between Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and seeing their furious faces, Giovanni's expression becomes increasingly eerie.
How should this be described?
Well, listening to these two Legendary argue, it feels like they're spoiling each other.
Giovanni shakes his head and leaves them to it; watching these two dragons fight is more entertaining anyway.
"So, how about Rayquaza?" Damian asks Shiny Rayquaza.
"Strong, but not as strong as me," Shiny Rayquaza replies with deep Telepathy, admitting that Black Kyurem's strength is formidable.
But Shiny Rayquaza is confident it can beat it!
"Need me to send in reinforcements?" Damian hints at Shadow Mewtwo and the others.
After all, the last time Primal Kyogre was buffed, it was thanks to Shadow Mewtwo and their aid, which allowed a victory over Shiny Rayquaza.
"No need."
Shiny Rayquaza's dragon eyes blaze with excitement and battle intent; its sleek dragon body glides toward Black Kyurem.
Assistance? Not necessary!
Rayquaza is the strongest dragon—no need for external help! It will beat Kyurem on its own!
"Truly a proud creature as always."
Damian smiles at this; he isn't surprised.
Dragons at the pinnacle of power have pride that is hard to tame.
Yet as Shiny Rayquaza says, it believes it can beat Black Kyurem.
Damian believes so as well.
A blaze erupts from Black Kyurem's tail, and instantly White Kyurem appears.
"Roar!"
White Kyurem's cold breath pervades, and Blizzard surges forth, an Ice‑type Blizzard!
Shiny Rayquaza leaps into the air without hesitation, twisting gracefully in the upper sky.
A massive gray dragon tornado roils downward.
Delta Stream aided by the Delta Stream!
The enormous tornado stands between heaven and earth, gravity pulling it down as wind roars, rain and Blizzard being sucked into the Delta Tornado.
As Shiny Rayquaza roars, the Delta Tornado moves rapidly toward White Kyurem.
"Roar!"
White Kyurem's ice‑blue glow intensifies, an enormous ice ring bursting forth.
Glaciate!
Crack, crack!
Under Glaciate's freezing power, this huge Delta Stream is frozen in place.
However, in the next moment, Shiny Rayquaza shatters Kyurem's coil and reaches White Kyurem.
Before White Kyurem can strike back, Shiny Rayquaza twists its body and, with its slender dragon form, binds White Kyurem.
White Kyurem reacts with fury, sharp claws ready to tear at Shiny Rayquaza, but Shiny Rayquaza moves faster.
With a powerful surge, Shiny Rayquaza and White Kyurem plummet downward, finally slamming White Kyurem into the ground.
Boom!
The earth shakes with the impact; White Kyurem roars in pain.
White Kyurem's dragon eyes gleam in fury—this is Kyurem! How could it be beaten by Rayquaza?!
Primal Groudon, sensing the tremor at its feet as it's locked in a clash with Primal Kyogre, turns and sees Shiny Rayquaza pressing White Kyurem into the ground.
Whoa!
Primal Groudon cheers with a roar—as expected, Rayquaza is terrifying!
But at the next moment, a surge of pain comes from behind—another Hydro Pump hits Primal Groudon.
"Roar! (Stupid fish, you shameless thing!)"
Primal Groudon twists to glare at a seemingly innocent Primal Kyogre.
It's about to enjoy a moment of spectacle!
"???"
Primal Kyogre tilts its head in confusion, not understanding what Primal Groudon is saying.
Seeing Kyogre's reaction, Primal Groudon furrows its brow, wondering if it's misunderstanding.
"Uuu～(You're slandering me! I'm so upset! Brothers, let's deal with it together!)"
Primal Kyogre's tone sounds deeply aggrieved.
Hearing this, in addition to protecting Damian, Shadow Mewtwo, little Rayquaza, Shiny Genesect, and even Reshiram who's been worried up until Shiny Rayquaza's arrival, all rush to join the fray.
"Take them down! Kyogre, you strike first!"
Truth Reshiram loves nothing more than Truth‑telling among others!
Primal Groudon: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
