Chapter 230:
[Air Lock: All effects of weather conditions are eliminated.]
This canceled even Groudon’s Desolate Land and Kyogre’s Primordial Sea—let alone a re rain shower.
Just yesterday, Hayashi Kaede had been fantasizing about seeing Rayquaza and riding it through the skies.
Now, with the massive dragon looming before him, the only thought in his mind was: "Good grief... who brought it here...?"
Hayashi Kaede looked at w.
Aside from transforming into Rayquaza yesterday, he couldn’t think of any other action that might have attracted the real Rayquaza. He didn’t even have any items related to it.
Rayquaza wasn’t emitting any aura, but its imnse size and the yellow pupils in its jet-black eyes imdiately put all the Pokémon in the plantation on edge.
The situation seed to freeze in an inexplicable stalemate.
Gardevoir quietly rested its hand on Hayashi Kaede’s arm.
Finally, a puzzled sound broke the tense silence.
"eew?"
w hovered in the sky, looking at Rayquaza, confused as to why everyone had gone silent.
But it soon realized the reason—this Rayquaza was too intimidating for anyone to speak.
It stared at Rayquaza with righteous indignation. "eew?" (What are you here for?)
Rayquaza: "???"
The counter-question montarily stunned Rayquaza, who had co to ask w why it had taken its form.
Regardless, it quickly regained composure and used telepathy.
(Why did you assu my form?)
Rayquaza felt a touch of helplessness.
The small cat before it, though tiny in appearance, possessed imnse authority. When the Creator distributed its powers, w could borrow any power—aside from creation itself, even Rayquaza’s power over the skies.
w didn’t answer imdiately. Instead, it pulled Jirachi along, who stared in awe, and flew next to Rayquaza.
It said matter-of-factly, "eew~" (Because my friend wanted to see it, so I transford!)
Rayquaza: "???"
Because it wanted to see... you transford?
It had expected a serious reason, or that one of those two Legendary Pokémon was about to cause trouble again.
Jirachi beca even more excited after flying next to Rayquaza, its eyes holding a trace of worship.
"Jirachi" (Really? You’re the real Rayquaza?)
Only then did Rayquaza look at this star-like Pokémon, a hint of confusion in its eyes. It sensed the energy of this creature was sowhat similar to the teorites it usually consud—and sohow... even more fragrant.
Should it...
Before it could finish the thought, Jirachi flew closer, exclaiming excitedly, "Jirachi!" (You’re amazing! You always manage to drive away both Groudon and Kyogre.)
Rayquaza’s train of thought halted. Looking at this fragrant little being, it couldn’t help but feel a touch of fondness.
Quite the smooth talker.
"Jirachi!" (A thousand years ago, you saved Akaze...)
Jirachi recounted the events from a millennium ago. "Jirachi!" (Do you rember ? I was the one who asked for your help back then.)
Rayquaza’s confusion deepened.
"Jirachi..." (It was... a thousand years ago.) Jirachi waved its hands, attempting to jog Rayquaza’s mory. *(You appeared nearby and helped a human tribe drive away a flying Pokémon!)*
A light shone in Jirachi’s eyes as it spoke, but Rayquaza remained silent. After a long pause, it shook its head.
Whether a thousand years ago or now, it had no mory of this Pokémon.
"Jirachi..." (Really, it was a small human tribe, with lots and lots of Caterpie inside.)
Jirachi’s voice grew urgent, t only with Rayquaza’s continued silence.
Its existence was legendary across regions. While so stories and novels liked to link it to humans or Pokémon like Caterpie, in reality, Rayquaza spent its days in outer space, only occasionally descending. Sotis it didn’t even know why.
Like a dragon stretching after a long rest, how could it care about every little worm on the ground?
Perhaps a thousand years ago it did help this species, but with ti, such mories faded—unless sothing exceptionally morable occurred.
"Jirachi..." (I see...)
Jirachi felt a twinge of disappointnt, having hoped to learn more about Akaze’s fate from the great Sky High Pokémon.
But it quickly let go of its disappointnt.
Hayashi Kaede watched the conversation below, trembling.
Especially when w and Jirachi flew next to Rayquaza, his heart tightened.
w probably wasn’t in danger, but Jirachi...
As a Wish Pokémon, it would turn to stone after falling asleep.
And it absorbed the energy of shooting stars.
And what did Rayquaza like to eat the most?
teorites.
Their energies were similar. Hayashi Kaede was even ready to offer the Wishing Star to Rayquaza if it tried to take a bite.
Fortunately, it didn’t co to that. This Rayquaza seed understanding.
It scanned the plantation, finally settling its gaze on w.
It wanted to warn the little cat not to use its sky powers, but felt its words might not be effective.
So it turned to Hayashi Kaede.
This human seed familiar...
Being stared at like that, Hayashi Kaede tensed.
But he bravely greeted it. "Ahaha... Hello, Rayquaza?"
The mont he spoke, he imdiately regretted it.
What kind of greeting is that? Who greets a Legendary Pokémon with "Hello"...?
Starting with "Hello" instantly made him look foolish.
Rayquaza, however, didn’t focus on that.
It asked directly:(I sense the presence of the Tree of Life on you. That is where w resides. Are you close to w?)
Though startled, Hayashi Kaede quickly nodded. "Yeah..."
After all those shared als, their friendship level was over 80.
w flew down and landed beside Hayashi Kaede.
Seeing this, Rayquaza nodded in satisfaction.
(Very well. Keep it under control...)
"eew?"
But w wouldn’t listen. It imdiately leapt onto Hayashi Kaede’s shoulder. "eew~!" (Not listening, not listening! Co on, Hayashi Kaede, let’s go on its head! Didn’t you say you wanted to ride it and fly?)
Hayashi Kaede’s expression instantly shifted dramatically.
Wait, can you actually say that out loud?!
Rayquaza: "???"
