As Aiden Flint and Rayquaza chased Deoxys into the upper atmosphere—
Chaos erupted below.
Across Petalburg Woods, wild Pokémon fled in panic, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure of two god-tier beings clashing.
Even the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, Norman, sensed something was wrong and rushed toward the forest with his team.
But the moment he arrived—
He stopped.
So did everyone else.
Above them—
A colossal green dragon soared into the sky, chasing a strange, shifting figure higher and higher—
Until both became streaks of light.
"…Rayquaza?"
"It's the Champion's Pokémon!"
"Is Champion Aiden capturing something again?!"
The media reacted instantly.
Helicopters launched.
Cameras locked on.
A live broadcast began.
"This is Petalburg News—reporting live!"
The reporter's voice trembled with excitement.
"As you can see, Champion Aiden Flint's Rayquaza is currently pursuing a mysterious Pokémon into the sky! We have yet to identify the target, but given the scale of this encounter—it may very well be another Legendary-level being!"
Far above—
Beyond the clouds—
In the vacuum of space—
Aiden stood calmly, wrapped in psychic energy.
No suit.
No equipment.
Just raw power.
Below him, Rayquaza devoured another incoming meteor like it was nothing more than a snack.
Aiden smirked slightly.
"Still trying that?"
"Rayquaza—Hyper Beam. Full power."
Golden light gathered again.
Blazing.
Unstoppable.
Deoxys reacted instantly.
Its body shifted—
Attack Form.
Power surged violently.
It wasn't holding back anymore.
Cosmic energy gathered around it.
Cosmic Power activated—
Amplifying its strength within the vacuum of space.
Then—
It fired.
A direct psychic assault collided with Rayquaza's Hyper Beam.
Space itself seemed to ripple.
For a brief moment—
They were equal.
Then—
Aiden's voice echoed in Rayquaza's mind.
"Now."
A flash of light—
Brilliant.
Blinding.
Rayquaza Mega Evolved.
Its form expanded—
Golden tendrils flowing like divine energy.
Mega Rayquaza had arrived.
The balance shattered instantly.
Deoxys's attack—
Collapsed.
Overwhelmed.
Crushed.
"Finish it."
Aiden's gaze turned cold.
Rayquaza roared—
And unleashed its ultimate move.
Dragon Ascent.
A phantom dragon tore through space itself—
Slamming directly into Deoxys.
Explosion.
Light.
Silence.
Deoxys tried—
Desperately—
To shift back into Defense Form.
But it was too late.
The damage had already been dealt.
Its body trembled violently, its core flickering.
Meanwhile—
Back on Earth—
The broadcast continued.
The zoomed-in footage finally captured Deoxys clearly.
Experts were called in immediately.
Among them—
Professor Birch.
"That Pokémon… is called Deoxys," he explained.
"A mysterious lifeform believed to have originated from space. We know very little about it—only that it possesses extraordinary psychic abilities."
The reporter gasped.
"So… Champion Aiden is battling a Pokémon from outer space?!"
Above the atmosphere—
The battle was already ending.
Deoxys drifted weakly.
Its energy fluctuating.
Its forms unstable.
Aiden raised his hand slowly.
A Poké Ball appeared.
Heavy.
Silent.
Waiting.
His eyes locked onto Deoxys.
"No more running."
"This ends here."
In the silence of space—
The final capture—
was about to begin.
