Damian did not pay any attention to the "farce" happening between Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
To him, it was normal for those two to love and hate each other at the same time. It was not strange at all. It did not matter anyway, because they would not actually destroy each other.
Instead, the conflict between Shiny Mega Rayquaza and White Kyurem was extremely intense.
After slamming White Kyurem into the earth, Shiny Mega Rayquaza raised its tail high. It swung it down forcefully toward the ground, carrying a surge of brownish-yellow energy.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza used Earthquake!
Suddenly, a bright flash of lightning enveloped Kyurem's entire body. Its form shifted, and Black Kyurem emerged.
Black Kyurem let out a roar. Tiny pieces of ice and stone fell from above Shiny Mega Rayquaza and crashed toward it.
Black Kyurem used Avalanche!
A loud explosion occurred.
The Earthquake from Shiny Mega Rayquaza hit the ground hard. The earth vibrated violently, and a physical shockwave of energy expanded.
The vibration passed directly through Black Kyurem's body. Black Kyurem growled in pain. Although Ground-type moves were not super effective against it, a direct hit from Earthquake still caused significant pain.
At the same time, the heavy Avalanche attack fell from above Shiny Mega Rayquaza's head. The ice continued smashing into its body.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza also showed an agonized expression. This super-effective Avalanche attack was very painful.
"He's taking unnecessary damage," Damian said, raising an eyebrow.
There was no doubt that Shiny Mega Rayquaza had lost this exchange.
First, there was the trade of injuries. Trading an Earthquake for an Avalanche? Damian thought Shiny Mega Rayquaza's strategic reasoning was flawed.
Even though Earthquake was powerful, it was not super effective against Black Kyurem. Meanwhile, Avalanche was not only super effective against Shiny Mega Rayquaza, but it was also a move that matched Black Kyurem's own type.
Furthermore, the effect of Avalanche meant that if the opponent hit the user first, the power of the move would double.
In Damian's view, Shiny Mega Rayquaza did not need to trade hits like this. If it had used a long-range attack like Dragon Pulse, it could have hit Black Kyurem and still had the energy to avoid a counterattack.
However, it was clear that Shiny Mega Rayquaza was used to fighting with pure power. It would not choose an indirect way of fighting when it felt it had the advantage.
Well, this was also one of the reasons why Shiny Mega Rayquaza had lost its last battle in LaRousse City.
Black Kyurem roared as it tried to stand up and pounce on Shiny Mega Rayquaza. "Roar!"
But Shiny Mega Rayquaza had already recovered from the Avalanche attack. It immediately fired a Dragon Pulse.
A massive explosion occurred.
The Dragon Pulse hit its target directly. Black Kyurem roared in pain as its massive body tilted and fell over once again. However, its turbine-shaped tail began to glow with a green light.
Breaking Swipe!
The Breaking Swipe from Black Kyurem slammed hard against Shiny Mega Rayquaza's body. The energy exploded, and Shiny Mega Rayquaza's body was pushed back slightly.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza's draconic eyes looked fierce. This opponent was truly not easy to defeat.
Black Kyurem had fallen to the ground again and shouted angrily. "Roar!" The turbine in its tail lit up with icy blue energy. Thin blue energy tubes connected its tail to its back.
A powerful, freezing frost began to leak out wildly. Shiny Mega Rayquaza sensed something was wrong and instantly flew higher into the air.
A surging wave of freezing air burst forth. A huge amount of ice-cold gas suddenly sprayed from Black Kyurem's mouth. It covered the spot where Shiny Mega Rayquaza had just been standing.
Black Kyurem used Sheer Cold!
In the games, this was a move that caused a "One-Hit Knockout." Of course, in reality, there was no such thing as a move that guaranteed a kill just by hitting.
However, Sheer Cold was definitely one of the most powerful Ice-type moves in existence.
After forcing Shiny Mega Rayquaza back, Black Kyurem immediately stood up and flew into the air. It roared and charged toward Shiny Mega Rayquaza.
To Kyurem, being knocked down and pinned by Shiny Mega Rayquaza was simply unacceptable. It had to get its revenge!
It was Kyurem, the Legendary Pokémon!
However, as soon as it flew up, a black dragon shadow attacked like a lightning bolt. It slammed heavily into Black Kyurem's chest.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza used Extreme Speed!
With immense physical force, Shiny Mega Rayquaza pushed against Black Kyurem's body and pinned it to the ground once more.
Black Kyurem was extremely furious. It gathered icy light in its mouth and fired it at Shiny Mega Rayquaza. "Roar!"
However, Shiny Mega Rayquaza retreated immediately after its attack. It twisted its body and dodged the Ice Beam.
At the same time, Shiny Mega Rayquaza gathered dragon energy in its mouth and hit Black Kyurem hard.
Another loud bang occurred. Black Kyurem let out a low growl of pain. The power of Shiny Mega Rayquaza's Dragon Pulse was still very strong.
"It seems there is no problem. Even though it is very strong, it is still not a match for the Shiny Mega Rayquaza."
Damian shook his head as he watched the scene. Black Kyurem's power was actually very impressive.
After absorbing Zekrom, Black Kyurem could hold its own in a direct clash of moves with Shiny Mega Rayquaza. But it was clear that in a real fight, Black Kyurem was still not as good as Shiny Mega Rayquaza.
After all, Shiny Mega Rayquaza was very agile, and its attacks were incredibly powerful. In a serious fight, Black Kyurem was clearly at a disadvantage.
If the fight continued, there would not be any surprises. Shiny Mega Rayquaza would be able to defeat it.
Damian looked toward the other side and froze for a moment.
He saw that Primal Groudon was already crouching on the ground with its hands over its head. Meanwhile, Primal Kyogre, Small Rayquaza, Shiny Genesect, and Reshiram were all attacking it from four different directions.
Primal Groudon was being beaten so badly it could not even lift its head.
In reality, except for Primal Kyogre's Hydro Pump, the other attacks did not do much damage to Primal Groudon.
Also, because of the Desolate Land effect, the power of Primal Kyogre's Hydro Pump was greatly weakened.
It is worth mentioning that Desolate Land from Primal Groudon could not completely evaporate Primal Kyogre's Water-type moves. This might be because of how strong the moves from Primal Kyogre were, or perhaps for some other reason.
But under the effect of Desolate Land, the power of Primal Kyogre's Water-type moves was clearly much weaker. Otherwise, hitting Primal Groudon—who was four times weak to Water—should have caused a much bigger reaction.
Primal Groudon could not stand it anymore. It stood up and roared angrily. "Roar!" Its entire body glowed with a fiery red light.
Seeing this, the group of "bullies" led by Primal Kyogre immediately retreated and flew higher.
Primal Kyogre called out mockingly. "Are you mad? Come up here and hit me."
Its golden eyes were full of mockery. It felt like it had been too foolish in the past. It used to try to fight Primal Groudon face-to-face every time.
As long as it used a little "technique," this guy who could not fly could only stare at them helplessly.
Primal Groudon panted as it shook with rage. These guys!!
But it could not fly! It could not reach them!
Even though it could use long-range moves like Solar Beam or Flamethrower, Primal Kyogre and the others could easily use their flying ability to dodge direct attacks.
"Giovanni!!!"
"Hmm?"
"They are bullying me!!"
Primal Groudon felt so wronged. Was it its fault that it could not fly? How could it suffer such a humiliation!
This felt worse than having its stomach filled with seawater! It was heartbreaking.
"..." Giovanni fell into deep thought.
He had also seen what was happening. It seemed that being unable to fly really did make Primal Groudon quite helpless. After all, most Legendary Pokémon seemed to have the ability to fly.
Right at that moment, a violent dragon roar suddenly echoed through the air. And... it was very close!
Giovanni turned his head and saw the injured Black Kyurem flying toward them in a rage.
Why was Black Kyurem here? Was it not being pinned to the ground by Shiny Mega Rayquaza?
Giovanni's mind worked very quickly. Black Kyurem was moving fast, and its target was very clear.
It was going for Reshiram!
"Damian! Save me!"
When Reshiram saw Black Kyurem attacking, it was terrified. It quickly called out to Damian.
Damian also moved very fast. He understood what Black Kyurem wanted to do, so he immediately pulled out a Poké Ball.
"Reshiram!!"
Black Kyurem roared as the spikes on its back lit up, and the light beams from the DNA Splicers shot out. "Roar!"
It refused to accept this! How could it lose to that Rayquaza!
It would not happen! As long as it absorbed Reshiram again, it could not lose!
Kyurem was the strongest Dragon-type Pokémon!
Reshiram immediately flew backward as fast as it could.
Primal Kyogre and the other Pokémon also immediately began to attack Black Kyurem.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza was even faster. Using Extreme Speed, Shiny Mega Rayquaza slammed hard into Black Kyurem's back.
At the same time, the attacks from Primal Kyogre and the others also hit Black Kyurem.
Black Kyurem groaned. It forced itself to take the hit from Shiny Mega Rayquaza's Extreme Speed and all the other attacks.
The DNA Splicer beams shot toward Reshiram at high speed.
Reshiram flapped its wings quickly, trying to reach Damian's Poké Ball. However, because it had been part of the group "bullying" Primal Groudon, it was quite a distance away from Damian.
The red light from Damian's Poké Ball finally hit Reshiram to bring it back.
But... the recall failed!
Damian frowned slightly. On Reshiram's back, one of the DNA Splicer beams had already struck it. The beam pierced directly into its body.
In the next second, more DNA Splicer beams hit Reshiram one after another.
Reshiram's body stopped moving. It only had time to let out a cry of pain before its entire body turned into a ball of white light. It was pulled toward Black Kyurem.
A physical wave of powerful freezing air spread out from Black Kyurem, forcing Shiny Mega Rayquaza to back away. "Roar!"
Black Kyurem swallowed the ball of light that was Reshiram in one gulp. A thick white light began to shine around Black Kyurem's entire body.
Under the overwhelming energy, Black Kyurem's form briefly turned into White Kyurem, but in the next moment, it switched back to Black Kyurem.
However, the most obvious feeling was that Kyurem's pressure was constantly rising!
"This is not good, human," Shiny Mega Rayquaza said.
Shiny Mega Rayquaza hovered in the air in front of Damian. Its draconic eyes were fixed on Kyurem's position.
Kyurem was completely covered in surging energy, making it impossible to see its actual shape clearly.
"It really isn't good. However, I did consider this situation," Damian said.
His eyes flickered. Originally, he thought the battle was about to end.
He did not expect Black Kyurem to just charge over and swallow Reshiram. If Reshiram had not gone off to join Primal Kyogre and stayed by his side instead, this would not have happened.
But it was fine. He had the support of Rayquaza here.
A Triple-Fused Kyurem... in terms of power, Shiny Mega Rayquaza probably could not handle it alone. Damian wondered if it could compare to Ultra Necrozma.
Damian thought to himself. Since a true Triple-Fused Kyurem had never appeared in the original stories, he did not know how strong it was.
But Damian guessed it would be about the same as Ultra Necrozma, or maybe even a bit stronger?
"Rayquaza, can you contact your wife?"
"...Human, do you think my whole family is just your group of hired fighters?"
Shiny Mega Rayquaza looked at Damian, feeling speechless.
He used the child, then he used the father, and now he was thinking about the mother too?
"How could I? I just think of you as my own people," Damian said, being very thick-skinned.
"Besides, I also called for other backup," Damian said naturally. He originally thought he would not need it.
But now it seemed he would need it after all. This was good; at least the backup would not have made the trip for nothing.
Meanwhile, in the ocean outside the Unova region, a certain giant "fire turkey" was flying so fast its wings were starting to smoke.
In its heart, it was cursing a certain jerk human. He was getting further and further away!
Damn it, you better actually have something going on! Otherwise, I am going to roast you!
