Chapter 288 is the Dragon God?!
Rayquaza had a bad feeling about the fact that the fragments of the Emerald Orb were in Zeju's hands.
This human possessed the "Red Chains," something Rayquaza had never seen before, yet it had the power to bind Rayquaza to the extreme, causing Rayquaza to lose face.
Now, here comes another proven and effective emerald jewel, one that resonates with its power and can be "manipulated" in return...
Rayquaza couldn't even imagine what this human could do that would be even more humiliating!
"Oh? You... want this?"
Ze Shu held a piece of emerald green that was shimmering in the breeze in his hand and said with a smile.
"roar--!!"
Rayquaza's usually composed gaze had never revealed such urgency.
It looked at the fragment of the jewel in Ze Shu's hand and indicated that it would accept any request.
Its most urgent demand is that the fragment of the precious pearl and the "red chain" should not be in the same person's hands, especially since that "person" is Ze Shu, whom it considers audacious!
Although the "control" of these orbs is mutual, it depends on whose will is stronger. Just like when Crimson Pine obtained the "Crimson Orb," it became a mental puppet under Groudon's power in the blink of an eye.
Rayquaza understood this principle, but it didn't want to gamble. Especially after the red chains wrapped around it, it experienced the man's almost burning will.
and....
This emerald jewel, though artificially created, still enhances Rayquaza's abilities. It can sense a peculiar resonance between the jewel and its "triangular organ," which stores and converts Mega Evolution energy.
Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.
This jewel was something Rayquaza desperately wanted to obtain.
Ze Shu: "I know you really want it."
Under Rayquaza's suspicious gaze, he smiled and said, "But..."
'
"I won't give it to you yet."
Rayquaza: (10A)!
"Didn't you notice? This emerald pearl is still broken. Putting aside whether we should purify it, at least we need to make it whole."
"This way, we can use this precious pearl more efficiently. Don't you think so?"
"roar!!"
Is that what it cares about?
What it cares about most is: this thing can't be in your hands!
Rayquaza glared angrily at Zeju.
Moreover, now that Ze Shu has repaired the pearl, wouldn't he be able to utilize its wonders even more effectively, making it even less capable of resisting?
Ze Shu shrugged and said, "Are you afraid I'll use it to control you? To embarrass you?"
Rayquaza remained silent.
Although Zeki said it so bluntly.
But if you were to admit it yourself, that would be even more embarrassing!
"That's simple—" Receiving no answer, Ze Shu wasn't annoyed; Rayquaza's silence spoke volumes. "I simply won't use this jewel, will I?"
Rayquaza turned its head away, disdainful.
Human mouths are deceitful devils!
Just then, the door to Old Man Hachi's house suddenly opened from the inside with a "bang".
"Hey you young folks! Even if you're training Pokémon, can you please not make such a racket? Older people need a lot of sleep!"
"Sigh! I'd like to see what kind of Pokémon you've trained that can scare Pidgey so much that he's afraid to come out of the house, or even move an inch!"
Old man Hachi poked his head out from inside the door, looking annoyed, and said angrily as well.
then...
He then saw Rayquaza's ferocious and majestic dragon head.
"W-W-This is your Pokémon?!"
Old man Hachi spoke these words almost in a hoarse voice; he was truly terrified.
As Genji's travel companion during his youth, Hatch's knowledge is undeniably extensive. In particular, his other rock-digging partner, whom he mentioned earlier, is now sitting in the newly built president's office at Devon Corporation!
It was only when he recognized this Pokémon that old man Hachi's eyes widened and he clutched his heart.
Upon opening the door, you are immediately confronted with the legendary Pokémon...
No elderly person could stand that, right?!
"Sorry, we'll move over." Ze Shu said apologetically to the old man Hachi.
Let's put aside whether it frightened the elderly.
Because of Rayquaza's sudden arrival, although all the weather under the "Airlock" was stopped, Rayquaza's own energy concentration was not low, and the seawater was unusually overflowing and rising. In a few moments, it flooded the bottom corner of Hatch's Hut.
"Roar—" But Rayquaza refused to move.
It just showed up briefly, is that its fault?
But then, the presence of the emerald fragment of the pearl that Ze Shu was holding, which it had been wary of, suddenly surged into its mind. A scorching will connected to its mind through the pearl and transmitted a strange sentence.
Then, before it could even understand the meaning of those words, Rayquaza's head inexplicably drooped down against its own will.
Just then, Zeki stepped on Rayquaza's lowered head, walked onto its head, and grasped its "X"-shaped horn.
Old man Hachi stared in disbelief at the scene: "Ah, this, this..."
'
Higana puffed out her cheeks, "Ze Shu, you're bullying the Dragon God again! Don't step on the Dragon God's head!"
Rayquaza, upon realizing what had happened, was filled with shock and embarrassment.
"roar-!!!"
Didn't you just say you didn't need this precious pearl?!
How could you go back on your word and use it so easily in less than a minute?!
Rayquaza's voice angrily echoed in Zeki's mind.
It really wanted to disregard everything and bite the man into its mouth.
Ze Shu assured him, "I won't use it again next time, um, just this once."
Rayquaza couldn't believe that Sawaki would agree to not use this thing so easily without making any demands!
Ze Shu smiled and comforted her, "Well... can I make a request? Just take us to another place, and after it's done, I won't use this pearl anymore."
"Roar—" Rayquaza barely managed to accept those words.
"Of course, it's a deal! I, Ze Shu, always keep my word. If I say I won't use it, then I won't!"
"roar...."
"You ask me where I'm going? Hmm... let me think."
Ze Shu pondered for a while.
Suddenly, Higana, puffing out her cheeks and looking at him, asked, "Hey, how do I get to Meteor Village?"
Higana paused for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"
Zeki: "Rayquaza promised to take us there."
Higana was stunned.
The Dragon God... is about to grace Meteor Village with his presence?
This was something that had never happened before in the recorded history of the Meteor People.
Because the Dragon God didn't like their home, the Meteor People, they built the Sky Pillar in a place almost an entire Hoenn region away from the Meteor Village. Even after building the Sky Pillar, the Dragon God didn't actually live there often.
According to the elders of the Meteor People who can observe "cloud lines," the Dragon God prefers to be homeless and roam freely in the sky and the universe—in other words, he likes to gnaw on meteorites wherever he goes, and the meteorites around the Sky Pillar are not easy to gnaw on.
But now, the Dragon God of the carefree sky is about to descend upon Meteor Village?!
This sentence kept echoing in Xijiana's mind.
"I'm asking you a question." Ze Shu looked at the stunned Xi Jiana with a puzzled expression.
"Ugh! I...you..." Higana stammered, "You...you want me to tell you where Meteor Village is? I...I don't know how to say it!"
"Then come up. You give me directions."
Higana froze again, then pointed to herself:
:"I?"
Me? Standing on the Dragon God's head?
"So this is what it feels like to stand on the head of the Dragon God!"
Looking down at the city skyline shrouded in clouds, Xijiana held Xiaolan's hand tightly, feeling both excited and dreamlike.
Strangely enough, during the time before I met Ze Shu as the successor, although I longed to be able to contact the Dragon God every day, I felt that it was a luxury and unrealistic.
"But are we going to the Village of Meteors now?" Little Blue was a little confused after being suddenly pulled onto Rayquaza's head.
Instead, the little bird that jumped into her arms and was being held by her stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the sight it had never seen before, high in the sky.
Ze Shu smiled and said, "We can come back then. After all, Rayquaza promised to take us there, so it should also promise to take us back."
He looked at Rayquaza beneath his feet: "You agree, right?"
Rayquaza: (#皿)!
They have so many requirements!
Believe it or not, I'll throw you all down right now!
Rayquaza thought angrily, choosing not to answer Sawaki's question, and simply accelerated.
Petalburg City is not far from Meteor Falls, where Meteor Village is located. With Rayquaza's constant acceleration, it takes less than half an hour to see the unique exposed rock formations caused by the meteorite impact at Meteor Falls.
"Do you Meteor People live underground? Doesn't that mean there's no sunlight?" Ze Shu asked.
"Of course not! There's plenty of sunshine in Meteor Village!" Higana puffed out her cheeks and pointed to a corner of Meteor Falls.
This place would be extremely difficult to find if it were within a normal person's travel route. But from the high altitude of Rayquaza, it is clearly visible, with a "large hole" standing out starkly in the sunlight.
"This is Meteor Village!"
"That's what Higana is saying."
The Skybreaker then swooped down into the hole.
"Grandma Dragon! Grandma Dragon! Something terrible has happened! Elder Dragon has spotted a super, super huge cloud streak approaching our Meteor Village at an incredible speed! What do we do! What do we do!"
A child dressed in ancient clothing, with a missing tooth and rosy cheeks, was shouting loudly towards an ancient ancestral hall.
"Stop making such a racket! You want to get a beating again, don't you? Let Zhenya and the other two deal with the Flowing Cloud Line first!" An impatient old voice came from inside the ancestral hall.
"But...but...Elder Long said that the shape of these flowing clouds looks like that of Lord Dragon God! He's not sure! Because...because Elder Long said that Lord Dragon God shouldn't be coming here..."
""
"I'll go there myself! I've already said, Akamaru, your current task is to inform Jinga!"
"Okay, okay, Mother-in-law!"
The child named "Akamaru" rushed to the other three huts, shouting, "Jinya-nii! Pengpeng-nii! Renza-nii! Quick! Granny Long wants you to stop the Dragon God!"
"Wh-what?! Lord Dragon God?!" He slammed out of the door in a panic.
Akamaru explained what had just happened with a grin.
Pengpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true... it's just a cloud trail similar to the Dragon God's, how could it possibly be the Dragon God? However, our Meteor Village hasn't had such an invasion for many years, so, who is this intruder..."
At this point, he exchanged a glance with Lian Zuo and Zhen Ya, who had just walked out the door.
"It's that man!"
They all spoke in unison, recalling the man who had frozen all three of them, the Desert Dragonflies, with a single Snow Fairy, their eyes filled with resentment.
That's a disgrace!
Jinya, Renza, and Pengpeng, the three Meteor Clan who drive desert dragonflies, are the three most reliable Meteor Clan members of their younger generation, apart from Shiga, who is dead, and Xijana, the current successor. Well, in terms of reliability, they might not even need to be described as "apart from Xijana".
This makes them very confident in their abilities.
Therefore, the fact that all three of their desert dragonflies were frozen solid and that they fled in panic after being told to "get lost" by that man has been a source of frustration for them lately!
Zeki had said he would bring Higana to Meteor Village. So all three of them had been seething with anger, determined to save face. Faced with this unexpected situation, their first thought was of Zeki.
But... they were right about that; it was indeed Ze Shu who arrived.
But... they never expected that Ze Shu would appear in this way, in a way that directly shattered their hopes of saving face.
Meteor Village is a secluded village inhabited by meteor people, living in the interlayer of Meteor Falls. Most notably, there is a large hole that looks like it was made by a meteorite, lying horizontally between the sky and the ground above Meteor Village.
Because of the sudden crisis, the sparsely populated Meteor Clan gathered together, all looking up at the large hole through which sunlight shone.
"How many years has it been since something like this happened?"
"The last accident... it was... it was... five years ago... that child, Shioka..."
well...."
"Since that incident, Granny Long seemed to have become a different person... She became even stricter with her chosen successor, Higana... but this seemed to have backfired..."
'
"We watched Higana grow up. Even though she often followed Shigana around doing silly things when she was little, she could be quite mischievous at times..."
"Actually, those Mega Stones she stole... sigh..."
Among the crowd, someone looked at the "Hijana Wanted Poster" pasted on the tree stump and sighed.
Someone asked a serious-looking old woman who was slowly walking towards them, "Grandma Long, what exactly is going on?"
"It's just a minor threat coming!"
Granny Long snorted coldly; she had also heard Zhenya recount the general outline of the matter.
"Did you bring Higanbana along?"
She slowly looked up at the hole, lost in thought.
For a moment, most people were "distracted," but only Zhenya and his two companions were on high alert.
But when the sunlight through the hole is blocked.
When that flying "threat" arrived.
Whether you're distracted or not, or whether you're on high alert or not, it seems like it's all useless now.
"This... this..."
'
The people of Meteor were all stunned, utterly speechless.
Only Akamaru stared wide-eyed at the descending azure dragon head, shouting, "It's the Dragon God?! Elder Dragon didn't lie to me!!"
