The moment they saw the black Rayquaza, Archie and Maxie of Team Rainbow Rocket were completely dumbfounded.
They had never imagined that such a terrifying Pokémon could actually be captured by a Trainer.
"Maxie, hurry and have Groudon save Kyogre. We're running!", Archie shouted urgently.
The reason they had managed to escape from the black Rayquaza earlier was because Kyogre had touched the water.
But now, that black Rayquaza was clearly prepared.
It had actually emerged from the depths of the sea and used Dragon Ascent to smash Kyogre into the sky.
"Got it, stop yelling!", Maxie understood as well. If he wanted Necrozma's help in the future, he definitely couldn't do without Archie.
"Groudon, use Lava Plume on Rayquaza!"
"Roar!"
Standing atop the mountain range, Groudon let out a roar toward the sky. As it opened its massive jaws, terrifying Fire-type energy gathered inside, forming an enormous fireball.
Dense black smoke spread outward, releasing extreme heat. Even the rocks beneath its feet were starting to give way, gradually showing signs of melting into magma.
Rayquaza's dark-golden pupils glanced at Groudon, then directly chose to ignore it.
The next moment, an earth-yellow dragon shadow appeared in the void and used Confuse Ray right in its face.
Volcanion also emerged from the water. Its violent steam power instantly blasted Groudon up into the sky.
In an instant, the battle turned into an aerial fight, completely cutting off any chance of escape for the two of them.
The corner of Axel's mouth lifted as he watched the battle unfold. To be honest, he hadn't originally planned to let Volcanion join the fight, but that guy felt he hadn't contributed enough and volunteered himself.
Since that was the case, Axel was happy to let him add an extra layer of insurance to this battle.
After all, he truly did plan to help Volcanion visit that Mechanical Kingdom.
Seeing the group of Legendary Pokémon around Axel, both Archie and Maxie were completely stunned.
They simply couldn't understand how someone could possess so many Legendary Pokémon at the same time.
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
Axel blinked and casually threw out a title.
"I'm Pryce's righteous adopted son. You're asking about my backing. Are you saying you'd dare go hunt down Pryce?"
The two exchanged a glance and both saw a look of realization flash in the other's eyes.
In their world, the Masked Man's group had once had its own glorious era. Its top-tier combat power had even been comparable to Team Rocket at its peak.
It seemed that in this world, the most terrifying force was also the Masked Man's group.
The two instantly concluded that this was a major competitor for communicating with Necrozma.
After realizing this, the two no longer seemed inclined to hold back.
Each of them took out an orb. The instant they raised them with both hands, terrifying divine patterns appeared on their foreheads and rapidly spread across their entire bodies.
In the sky, the forms of Groudon and Kyogre also began to change rapidly.
The crimson Groudon gained additional flame-like divine markings. Magma burst out from within its body and flowed across its surface. Its dark-golden eyes turned blood-red, and its size increased once more.
The dense flame power it emitted made even Giratina unwilling to engage it at close range.
The changes to Kyogre were even greater. Its body size doubled outright, with pale-blue divine patterns and light-yellow spots appearing across its body.
Although it didn't gain a new type, its Water-type energy skyrocketed wildly.
After Primal Reversion, the entire sea surface underwent a massive change. Illusory land and illusory ocean condensed in the sky.
Within the area covered by the illusory land, all Water-type attacks turned into nothingness and had no effect.
Within the illusory ocean, Fire-type attacks were likewise rendered ineffective.
Top-tier Abilities: Desolate Land and Primordial Sea.
Seeing the changes in the sky, Axel showed not the slightest fear. Instead, his eyes lit up.
As expected, just like Rayquaza had guessed, these two really did still have orbs.
"Groudon, you go deal with Kyogre in the sky too. Don't screw it up."
"Roar!"
Groudon let out a loud roar. Amid the stunned looks of Maxie, Archie, Kyogre, and even Groudon itself, it stepped forward and walked straight into the sky.
By the time its Precipice Blades slammed down on Kyogre's head, Kyogre still hadn't reacted.
How the hell did this guy start flying?
Even the Groudon that had been confused by Giratina instantly regained clarity for a moment, rubbing its eyes hard with its massive hand, completely unable to understand.
This Groudon was clearly flying. So how did it still have such terrifying power?
'Damn it! I want to learn that!'
Taking advantage of the chaotic clash between the Legendary Pokémon, Axel had Gardevoir and Pheromosa lead Dragonair to rescue people, while he himself shot into the sky and charged straight at Archie and Maxie.
Battles between Legendary Pokémon, even when there was a huge gap in strength, were still very hard to resolve quickly.
In comparison, going for a decapitation strike was much simpler.
Even if he couldn't kill them, he still had to seize the Red Orb and the Blue Orb in their hands.
Seeing Axel rushing toward them, Archie and Maxie wore indifferent smiles and released Sharpedo and Camerupt.
"Camerupt, use Flamethrower!"
"Sharpedo, use Hydro Pump!"
A mocking smile curled at Axel's lips as he rushed straight into the range of Primordial Sea.
Ignoring the Flamethrower rendered useless under Primordial Sea's coverage, purple light gathered in his hand, quickly forming a massive energy dragon claw that viciously grabbed toward the Hydro Pump.
At the sight of this, Archie and Maxie were instantly stunned, the confident smiles on their faces freezing in place.
When they had just activated Primal Reversion, they had felt that some kind of balance had been achieved between the two sides. As long as Gardevoir and Pheromosa didn't join the fight, their Camerupt and Sharpedo should have been invincible.
But now it seemed—
'Invincible, my ass!'
