When Rayquaza heard the words "Team Rainbow Rocket" come out of Axel's mouth, just like Axel had expected, his eyes instantly lit up.
["I didn't expect that the multiverse created by Arceus would actually have such an amazing organization?"]
["Nice!"]
["If I beat them, wouldn't that mean expanding Aurient's territory into another world!"]
["Hahaha! It's just that the Arceus avatar in that world is kind of useless. They actually let Team Rainbow Rocket get created this early."]
Axel froze for a moment, catching the key piece of information in Rayquaza's words.
"What do you mean by 'this early'? Could it be that our world has one too?"
Gardevoir: "..."
Rayquaza, this reckless brute, was just a few sentences away from blurting out her secret.
Having been taken care of by Axel in her previous life, in this life Gardevoir didn't want Axel to bear too much psychological pressure.
As long as things continued to develop at the current scale, suppressing Team Rainbow Rocket in this world was only a matter of time.
So she hoped Axel could live without worries.
Even if Axel never awakened that ability that could suddenly make someone much stronger, she, Mewtwo, and Rayquaza would still be invincible in the world.
Of course, it just wouldn't be as easy as it was now.
Still, since these people had already come, it was obviously impossible to just let them leave for nothing.
Gardevoir clearly remembered that by the time of Team Rainbow Rocket, Maxie and Archie seemed a little different from the others.
They each only had one regional Legendary Pokémon, but they also had one extra thing, which was the orb Axel was holding.
If they could snatch those two orbs, wouldn't that weaken their strength while strengthening their own side?
One orb for control, one orb for Primal Reversion, perfectly solving the flaw where those two would lose control after Primal Reversion.
["Rayquaza... don't tell Master about future things yet. Just say it like this..."]
After Gardevoir shot him a look, Rayquaza immediately quieted down and used the information Gardevoir had just given him to change the subject.
["Axel, do you think that Archie and Maxie from Team Rainbow Rocket might also have the Red Orb and the Blue Orb?"]
["If you could get your hands on them, do you think they'd be useful?"
"Huh?", Axel's eyes lit up. After hearing Rayquaza's information just now and learning that Team Rainbow Rocket from another world had arrived, he had only been thinking about how to quickly increase his strength, completely overlooking some things.
Team Rainbow Rocket itself was a kind of resource.
Each of them had a Legendary Pokémon, and after provoking Arceus, their divine authority had been weakened by Arceus. No matter how much you messed around with them, it wouldn't affect the world.
Unlike the Legendary Pokémon here, where you could only peel scales or roll for traits, the Legendary Pokémon on their side could be messed with freely.
The only flaw was that their time of descent seemed to be limited. After a certain period, they would return on their own.
But that didn't affect Axel farming resources at all.
The more Axel thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Once he found Groudon and Kyogre, at the very least he could get two orbs.
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and take in Groudon and Kyogre, then go find them!"
Watching Axel stride toward Groudon's back with excitement, a faint smile flashed through Rayquaza's massive dragon head.
He clearly remembered the strange screams and nasty grins of those people in Gardevoir's memories, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Didn't you say Aurient has no gods? This time I'll show you how many gods Aurient has!"
"Roar~!"
Along with Rayquaza's low dragon roar, the already severely injured Groudon and Kyogre immediately stood straight and used their special divine authority to shrink their bodies.
In the battle just now, they had clearly realized that this guy was a lunatic.
Even scarier than movie villains, the kind who would kill someone the moment they disagreed.
"How about following me from now on?", Axel walked between Groudon and Kyogre, smiling as he looked at the two and raised his head to ask.
Honestly, the Pokédex team was really screwing them over. Even though the two of them had mastered the power of shrinking, after shrinking they were still as tall as a two-story building.
If you dragged the GF Pokédex team over here to transmigrate, each and every one of them would probably get convicted of academic fraud.
"Roar~", Groudon and Kyogre looked miserable. To be honest, they didn't want to follow him.
Mainly because there was no need.
The two of them lived together back home, and could form a strange resonance that kept their levels from dropping.
And since they were evenly matched, unlike the Black and White dragons who were obsessed with finding a hero to help them beat up the other side, what they needed to think about now was how to refuse Axel without dying under Rayquaza's hands.
"You don't want to follow me?", Axel's gaze turned playful. He knew these guys had all lived for thousands of years and weren't as easy to fool as ordinary Pokémon.
The Legendary Pokémon around him, aside from Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and those he had brought out of the dream world, which one didn't have their own little schemes?
Axel hadn't planned to take these two away empty-handed anyway, and had even already thought about what gift to give Groudon.
In the dream world, he was about to obtain Terapagos, the legendary god of Terastallization. Even if ordinary Terastallization couldn't make Groudon fly, Terapagos's Terastallization surely could, right?
The problem was that this guy wasn't unable to fly, but didn't want to fly.
"Good thing I have other preparations," Axel muttered to himself, then looked up at Groudon with a smile and said a sentence that almost scared Kyogre to death.
"Do you want this world to be nothing but land, with even the sky and the ocean turning into land?"
"Roar?", The resistance in Groudon's eyes faded quite a bit as he stared at Axel in shock and doubt.
He was suspicious.
Aside from Arceus, was there really anyone else who could do something like that?
Seeing his thoughts, Axel continued, "Just tell me whether you want it or not. Don't ask me if I can do it."
Groudon nodded decisively.
"As long as you want it. In a moment I'll hypnotize you, just don't resist."
After giving Groudon that reminder, Axel turned to look at Gardevoir. She immediately understood his meaning, rode Calyrex's Ice Rider to Groudon's front, and met his gaze.
The next moment, Gardevoir's pleasant telepathic voice sounded out, and Groudon's eyes gradually became unfocused.
["You've always been living in an illusion. In truth, this world has no sky, and no ocean, only boundless land."]
At first, Groudon didn't really believe Gardevoir's words.
But after just a few sentences, Groudon excitedly discovered that before his eyes, there really was nothing left but land.
Even without using Aerial Ace, he could freely step into the sky, as if he were walking on solid earth. He felt a constant stream of power flowing from the ground into his body at every moment.
It felt insanely good.
He could clearly feel that in this state, his combat was no longer restricted.
Even if others flew up, they were still flying "within the land". He could just run over and slash them with a sword.
Just as Groudon was about to leap up from the "upper layer of land", that is, the sky everyone else saw, and give Kyogre a brutal kick,
Gardevoir snapped her fingers, and the illusion suddenly vanished.
Groudon saw himself reappear in the sky. The restorative power brought by that heavy land instantly disappeared, and he panicked, stumbling and crashing to the ground.
Axel looked at the still-unsatisfied Groudon with a smile and casually took out a Poké Ball.
"So, are you coming or not?"
