Shen Yu looked at the two small pink spirits, one big and one small. "Hello there, I..."
This was Shen Yu's first time seeing such spirits, and she was so nervous she didn't know what to say. Mew looked at Shen Yu's face, tilting its head.
"I know you. You're Shen Yu, Xia Hu Nao's wife, right? I learned it all from Xia Hu Nao's memories."
Shen Yu blushed crimson at Mew's words, never imagining that in Xia Hu Nao's memories, her identity would be that of a wife. Her face flushed with shyness, but her heart was overflowing with sweetness. Shen Yu grasped Xia Hu Nao's hand. Xia Hu Nao, however, glanced in surprise at the adorable Mew who had just assisted him. "Mew, where did you learn that?"
"Don't you mind, just thank me."
"Mm, thank you, adorable Mew."
After a simple introduction of Mew and Mewtwo to Shen Yu, Xia Hu Nao looked up at the yellow lightning flickering in the dark clouds, and the faint blue figure that could be seen in the gaps of the clouds when the yellow lightning flashed.
"You're finally here, Rayquaza. I've been waiting for you."
A bolt of thunder struck the sea, hitting right between Groudon and Kyogre. The splashing water from the strike disrupted the tense atmosphere between Groudon and Kyogre. Both Groudon and Kyogre looked up simultaneously, seeing a green spirit flying in the sky.
Groudon immediately unleashed an Eruption, while Kyogre used Origin Pulse to attack Rayquaza. Rayquaza merely swayed its body, dodging Kyogre's Origin Pulse. As for Eruption, a Ground-type move, did it really expect to hit Rayquaza?
On the crowded beach, Xia Hu Nao looked at Rayquaza circling in the sky and let out a sigh of relief. "Now that the Fat-Headed Fish and the Green Worm are all here, the show can begin."
As soon as he finished his thought, Mew floated to his side. "Although none of them can sense your thoughts, it doesn't mean they can't feel someone badmouthing them. If you make them angry, I won't protect you."
Xia Hu Nao quickly covered his mouth, putting on an act as if he hadn't said anything, and looked up at Rayquaza in the sky. He hoped Rayquaza hadn't known anything. Rayquaza looked down from above at its two disobedient subordinates, wanting to teach them a lesson. Every time they fought, it caused immense geographical changes to the region. Although this fight wasn't long, the aftermath would still be a considerable effort for Rayquaza.
Perhaps due to a rebellious phase, Groudon and Kyogre still attacked the sky even after seeing their leader. Rayquaza simply flew higher into the sky, rendering the attacks of its two disobedient subordinates completely ineffective. Xia Hu Nao looked at Rayquaza in the sky, which seemed like a true deity. "As expected of Rayquaza..."
Rayquaza was quite annoyed that its two subordinates dared to attack it. At first, perhaps it could have been excused by claiming ignorance of who was flying overhead, but now that it had revealed itself, and they still dared to attack it, was this rebellion?
Rayquaza, with imposing energy, flew in the sky, circled twice, and then dived down at extreme speed.
"Dragon Ascent, it seems Rayquaza is very angry. Next, it might even use Mega Evolution."
Rayquaza's dive struck Groudon, pushing it back dozens of meters. This Dragon Ascent caused considerable damage to Groudon, shocking even the onlookers on the beach.
"To make Groudon retreat dozens of meters, Rayquaza is so strong."
"Yes, I really want to catch it. This would be much more meaningful than catching Groudon."
"Are you trying to die? Didn't you see what happened to the person who tried to catch Groudon earlier?"
While the onlookers were chatting, they saw Rayquaza, which had flown back into the sky, erupt in a burst of light. In this dazzling light, Rayquaza's body grew longer and appeared even more majestic and imposing. Its green body shimmered like a jewel, and the pair of horns below extended to its front. The long, ribbon-like appendages that floated around it added a touch of mystery to Rayquaza.
Mega Rayquaza then spat a ball of light into the sky. The light ball exploded in the upper atmosphere, forming countless light spots that rained down towards the sea, and simultaneously towards Kyogre and Groudon.
Meteor Mash!
Facing the onslaught of Meteor Mash, Kyogre plunged its head into the seawater, as if that would allow it to escape. Groudon, unable to swim or fly, could only withstand the attack with its body.
Groudon cried out as it was hit by Meteor Mash. Kyogre, hiding in the sea, was not spared either. The meteors from Meteor Mash, carrying immense impact force, penetrated the ocean, parted the water, and struck Kyogre precisely.
Kyogre flipped over in pain, and a giant wave surged towards the shore. Mew and Mewtwo stepped forward and directly dispersed the wave. The waves, which had separated, crashed onto the ground, revealing the distant battlefield.
Kyogre, which had stirred up a tumultuous wave, swayed its body and emerged from the sea. It steadied itself, as the Meteor Mash attack seemed to have had a significant impact. Groudon, which had directly absorbed the Meteor Mash, was even more disheveled, with injuries all over its red skin.
Although both Pokémon were injured, they glared at Rayquaza in the sky, showing no signs of surrender. Seeing Kyogre and Groudon seemingly ready to continue fighting, Rayquaza flew back into the sky once more.
"Is it going to use Dragon Ascent again? Dragon Ascent lowers defense, and Meteor Mash significantly weakens special attack. If it continues like this, even Rayquaza won't have a significant advantage," Xia Hu Nao couldn't figure out what Rayquaza was planning, so he could only guess in the direction of Rayquaza's impending attack.
However, contrary to Xia Hu Nao's thoughts, Rayquaza, upon reaching the sky, did not launch an attack but instead roared at the sky, its purpose unclear.
Upon hearing the roar, Kyogre and Groudon slowly lowered their bodies, seemingly signaling their surrender. Rayquaza, flying in the sky, emitted white light from its mouth, creating towering water pillars around Kyogre and Groudon.
"Hyper Beam, speaking of which, why is Rayquaza only using moves with negative side effects? Although these moves are indeed signature moves."
Within the water prism formed by Rayquaza's Hyper Beam, Kyogre and Groudon also let out muffled roars. The three layers of roars overlapped, and even though the crowd by the sea was a considerable distance from the battlefield, they were still tormented by the immense sound, suffering from splitting headaches.
Xia Hu Nao gritted his teeth, covering his ears, and asked Mew, "Mew, what's going on?"
Mew hugged its tail and said, "Rayquaza has suppressed Kyogre and Groudon. Those were the roars of Kyogre and Groudon returning to peace."
"What? Does returning to peace require such a powerful roar?"
"No choice, these big guys' voices are naturally quite loud."
After the roaring ceased, Kyogre and Groudon exchanged glances. Then, Groudon slowly walked towards the depths of the sea, and Kyogre also dove into the depths of the sea and disappeared.
After these two troublesome Pokémon vanished, Rayquaza circled the sea twice, then at an extremely high speed, it broke through the clouds and returned to the sky where it resided.
Seeing the dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipate, the clear blue sea revealed its true form once again. Xia Hu Nao breathed a sigh of relief. "This matter is finally over. Mew, Mewtwo, thank you both for coming today."
Mew happily spun around. "Then, we'll meet again next time."
With that, Mew and Mewtwo tore through space and vanished.
Xia Hu Nao patted his wheelchair. "Let's go back and rest."
Before Xia Hu Nao could leave, someone jumped out to cause trouble. "Give us back his life!"
Xia Hu Nao looked over and saw several men in swim trunks staring at him with hostility. "Give us back our Xiao Ba's life! Our Xiao Ba was about to capture Groudon, and it was all because of you that he died at Groudon's hands!"
Xia Hu Nao glanced at him. "Is that so? Kyogre and Groudon were fighting there. Anyone with a brain would know to stay away. He insisted on getting close, so who is to blame for his death? Let me tell you, I have no obligation to stop people from courting death, nor do I have the kindness to save fools. You'd better get lost, or I won't mind sending you to meet your Xiao Ba."
With that, Xia Hu Nao maneuvered his wheelchair to turn and leave. He then heard the men in swim trunks behind him shouting, "You'd better stop right there, or else..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Hu Nao threw out a Poké Ball. "Quack, deal with them."
Quack jumped out of the Poké Ball and immediately shot out several water balls, knocking out all of them. Xia Hu Nao's ruthless methods made everyone gasp. Just then, people from the League Police arrived. Xia Hu Nao pointed at the men who were knocked out by Quack's Water Pulse. "These are the Pokémon hunters we were offering a reward for. This credit is yours. Don't bother me about a few deaths."
With that, Xia Hu Nao drove his wheelchair away, and Shen Yu and a few others followed Xia Hu Nao.
After Xia Hu Nao and his group left, a heated discussion erupted among the crowd.
"I recognize him, that was Chairman Xia of the Pokémon Contest!"
"So what if it was him? Does that give him the right to disregard human life? He's the culprit who caused someone's death!"
"Don't be ridiculous, the deceased was a Pokémon hunter, and he didn't kill him. He awakened Groudon to protect it. If the deceased Pokémon hunter hadn't tried to capture Groudon, this wouldn't have happened."
"Exactly, defending them like this, are you a Pokémon hunter too? Everyone, charge! Don't let him get away!"
The onlookers, filled with righteous indignation, chased after a Pokémon hunter who had exposed himself across the beach. Meanwhile, Xia Hu Nao was about to face his own "pursuit."
