Primal Groudon stared up at the Shiny Mega Rayquaza in the sky. Its pressure was overflowing. Groudon shook its massive head frantically.
Primal Groudon told Giovanni through its thoughts, "No, no, no. Giovanni, you want me to fight this Rayquaza?"
It thought it would die. It believed it would be beaten to death.
Primal Groudon pictured itself weakened on the ground. It saw itself barely breathing while the Shiny Mega Rayquaza stood over it, showing off its victory.
Giovanni let out a soft laugh. He found this extremely entertaining.
"Also, are you sure that big-headed fish actually defeated this Rayquaza?" Groudon asked.
The Non-Flyer doubted that Giovanni was telling the truth.
It felt that while it was honest and simple, Giovanni should not use stories to fool it.
"It is the absolute truth," Giovanni said.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Groudon roared.
Primal Groudon was not stupid. The pressure coming from this Shiny Mega Rayquaza was even more intense than the Mega Rayquaza it had encountered over the past few thousand years.
They could not even beat that green Mega Rayquaza. It did not believe the big-headed fish could beat this black one.
Besides, everyone saw that the big-headed fish needed the Shiny Mega Rayquaza to save it.
"It really is true, though there were some twists and turns involved," Giovanni confirmed.
He knew the process of Damian commanding Primal Kyogre to defeat the Shiny Mega Rayquaza was almost impossible to repeat.
Primal Groudon fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the atmosphere grew even more tense.
Under the frozen sky, ice crystals reflected a dim light as snowflakes drifted down.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza narrowed its eyes slightly. It felt a bit uncomfortable. Small air currents swirled around its body, preventing anyone from exploiting its Flying-type weaknesses.
But even so, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza still disliked the cold. Even if Delta Stream canceled its weaknesses, it was still weak to Ice-type moves.
It simply was not a four-times weakness anymore.
Black Kyurem roared. "Roar!!"
It finally could not hold back. The turbine at its tail lit up with a blue-purple glow. Electric arcs hissed and crackled wildly.
Blue-purple energy surged through its entire body. It formed a ring of light wrapped in electricity. It looked beautiful.
It was the Ice-type move, Freeze Shock! This was Black Kyurem's signature move.
Although its appearance was terrifying, moves like Freeze Shock were very beautiful. They formed a sharp contrast with Kyurem's physical form.
Freeze Shock continued charging. Black Kyurem let out a loud roar and charged straight at the Shiny Mega Rayquaza.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza roared back. "Roar!!"
It did not retreat. It tilted its head back and roared as a thick green light flashed around its body.
In the next moment, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza shot forward at high speed toward Black Kyurem. During the charge, the green light grew brighter and brighter. It became a sharp, peerless arrow.
It was the Flying-type move, Dragon Ascent!
Dragon Ascent versus Freeze Shock!
The moves collided with a massive sound. BOOM!
Under the frozen sky, Dragon Ascent and Freeze Shock crashed together violently.
A massive explosion erupted. A physical shockwave burst from the center of the clash and tore outward in all directions.
"So strong!" Primal Kyogre thought.
Primal Kyogre and the other Pokémon immediately pulled back. Dark Mewtwo flashed in front of Damian and formed a psychic barrier.
The gloomy sky was filled with two colors: deep green and blue-purple. It was breathtaking.
Powerful, unparalleled winds howled in a frenzy. The ground below cracked and collapsed from the pressure.
Under the massive shockwave, deep cracks began spreading across the frozen ice dome.
The broken ice could no longer hold back the water. Like a dam bursting, the water from Primordial Sea poured down in a heavy torrent.
The flood crashed directly onto the Shiny Mega Rayquaza and Black Kyurem while they were still struggling.
However, the sound of water freezing rang out without end. Crack, crack, crack!
All the water falling onto them froze instantly under the terrifying cold air from Freeze Shock. The ice kept spreading.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza sensed something was wrong. "Roar!"
It forced Black Kyurem back with sheer strength and roared at it.
Its powerful tail whipped through the air with a blue flash. It slammed down hard toward Black Kyurem.
It was the Dragon-type move, Breaking Swipe!
Black Kyurem roared as well. It gathered thick icy light in its mouth. This was the Ice-type move, Ice Beam.
Boom!
Breaking Swipe struck Black Kyurem heavily. The energy from the move exploded again and again with loud blasts. Black Kyurem roared in pain and was knocked back.
But at the same time, the Ice Beam slammed into the upper half of the Shiny Mega Rayquaza's body.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza let out a muffled grunt. Because the water had soaked its body, the freezing effect of the Ice Beam worked even better.
In an instant, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza's upper body was frozen into an ice sculpture.
But as the Shiny Mega Rayquaza exerted its strength, the ice shattered into crystals.
Black Kyurem's eyes were excited and fierce. It enjoyed facing such a strong opponent!
"Both sides are incredibly powerful," Giovanni said.
He watched the intense clash and sighed.
He had to admit the world was vast. Even though he had Primal Groudon, he realized he could not act without restraint against the top creatures of the world.
There were two clear examples right in front of him.
Primal Groudon scoffed. "The flying green caterpillar will defeat it."
It felt very proud. Although it was dissatisfied with Rayquaza, Rayquaza was still the leader of their trio.
If one succeeded, they all shared the glory. Primal Groudon stood firmly on the Shiny Mega Rayquaza's side.
Groudon hated Kyurem for freezing it. It planned to mock Kyurem until it died.
"It's true that this Shiny Mega Rayquaza has the advantage, but Groudon, you… watch out!" Giovanni warned.
Giovanni noticed something and cut himself off mid-sentence, warning Primal Groudon immediately.
"What is it?" Groudon asked.
Primal Groudon was confused. But in the next second, a powerful Hydro Pump came from a distance and slammed into Primal Groudon's body.
Primal Groudon cried out in pain. Its entire body was pushed backward by the impact.
Primal Groudon roared in anger. "Roar!!"
It steadied itself again and glared at the one who had used the sneak attack. It was Primal Kyogre.
Groudon was furious that the fish had used such a dirty trick.
Primal Kyogre only sneered. It did not care about sneak attacks. It was simply learning from Primal Groudon.
Primal Groudon roared. "Damn it, you round-headed dead fish! Get down here and fight your father for three hundred rounds!"
Primal Kyogre cried out. "Hilarious. You smelly lizard that can't fly—come up here if you have the guts."
"You come down!" Groudon yelled.
"You come up!" Kyogre replied.
"You…" Groudon started.
Giovanni watched Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre insult each other. His expression turned strange as Groudon hopped in anger.
He felt as if these two Legendary Pokémon were acting spoiled toward each other.
Giovanni shook his head and let them keep going. He looked back up at the sky. He preferred watching Rayquaza and Kyurem fight.
"How is it, Rayquaza?" Damian asked.
"It is strong, but not as strong as me," Rayquaza replied.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza sounded very confident. It admitted that Black Kyurem was powerful.
But the Shiny Mega Rayquaza was certain it would win!
"Do you need me to give you some support?" Damian asked.
He meant help from Dark Mewtwo and the others. Last time, Primal Kyogre had only won with help from the other Pokémon.
"I don't need it," Rayquaza said.
Surging excitement and fighting spirit ignited in the Shiny Mega Rayquaza's eyes. Its long body drifted forward slowly toward Black Kyurem.
It did not want any help.
It believed it was the strongest Dragon-type Pokémon. It wanted to defeat Kyurem by itself.
"Arrogant as always," Damian said with a soft laugh.
He was not surprised. Dragons were naturally arrogant and domineering. Most Dragon-type Pokémon had bad tempers.
For legends like Rayquaza and Kyurem, their pride was absolute.
Damian believed Rayquaza could win.
Fire flared from Black Kyurem's tail and swept across its entire body. In an instant, White Kyurem appeared.
White Kyurem roared. "Roar~!"
A thick, freezing breath spread over its body.
A Blizzard that covered everything surged out. It was the Ice-type move, Blizzard!
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza flew high into the air. It circled like a swimming serpent.
A massive gray tornado poured down. It was a Hurricane boosted by Delta Stream!
The tornado stood between the sky and the earth. The winds howled and pulled everything in. The rain and the Blizzard were swallowed into the tornado.
The Shiny Mega Rayquaza roared, and the tornado drove straight toward White Kyurem.
White Kyurem's body glowed with an ice-blue light. A violent ring of ice spread outward. It was Glaciate!
The sound of freezing rang out. Crack, crack!
The massive tornado was frozen solid by the air from Glaciate.
However, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza shattered through the ice and arrived in front of White Kyurem.
Before White Kyurem could attack, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza twisted its body. Its long frame wrapped around and bound White Kyurem tightly.
White Kyurem became furious. It tried to rake at the Shiny Mega Rayquaza with its claws, but the Shiny Mega Rayquaza moved even faster.
With a burst of power, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza carried White Kyurem and dove down, slamming White Kyurem heavily into the ground.
RUMBLE!
The entire earth shook violently from the impact. White Kyurem let out an angry roar of pain.
White Kyurem's eyes were fierce. It was furious that it was losing to a flying green caterpillar.
Primal Groudon felt the vibration and stopped insulting Primal Kyogre. It turned its head and watched the scene.
Primal Groudon cheered. It was impressed by Rayquaza's power.
But then it felt pain in its back. Another Hydro Pump struck Primal Groudon right in the center.
Primal Groudon roared angrily. "Big-headed fish, do you even have any shame?!"
It turned to look at Primal Kyogre, who looked innocent. Groudon just wanted to watch the drama!
Primal Kyogre tilted its head in confusion. It acted as if it did not understand.
Primal Groudon scratched its head. It wondered if it was mistaken.
Primal Kyogre cried out. "You actually slandered me! I am very unhappy! join me and get him!"
It sounded as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Hearing the call, the small Rayquaza and the Shiny Genesect joined the fight. Reshiram also wanted to join. Only Dark Mewtwo stayed behind to protect Damian.
Reshiram cried out. "Get him, get him! Kyogre, you take the lead!"
Reshiram loved to humiliate others!
Primal Groudon looked shocked.
