"Do you really have a way to defeat Rayquaza?"
Nemona was shocked. That was the legendary Rayquaza. People said it had lived for hundreds of millions of years.
She had seen it with her own eyes. The Dragon Pulse that Rayquaza shot wildly could easily destroy a tall building. An attack that strong was very dangerous.
"Please do not doubt my professionalism."
Damian felt that Nemona was still young and did not have enough experience.
"What do you want this time?"
Cynthia understood that Damian would not help them for no reason. She did not know what he would ask for this time.
"You will find out later, Cynthia. Don't worry, it won't go against your principles." Damian smirked.
"...Fine."
Cynthia's eyebrows moved down. She was worried. But she thought about the city surviving, so she agreed.
"Cynthia!!!"
Nemona looked at Cynthia with a lot of respect. She thought Cynthia was very great.
Even though they were in the Hoenn region, Cynthia was still willing to work with the bad Team Rocket for the city.
Nemona was so moved she almost cried.
"It's a deal." Damian looked at Cynthia. His eyes showed more energy. He thought Cynthia was exactly as he expected.
She was truly willing to work hard for justice and her duties.
Next, it was time to fight Rayquaza.
Damian looked at the sky.
"Roar!!"
Rayquaza's roar was very loud. It shot another Dragon Pulse at the Deoxys in front of it.
But Rayquaza was annoyed. Its attack missed again.
It wondered why the space bug would not stay still and let itself be killed.
Rayquaza moved its dragon body and attacked Deoxys again. It had destroyed one Deoxys a few years ago. Now another one appeared.
It did not matter. It would just do it again.
The fight was a bit difficult. But Rayquaza believed it would win in the end.
Because it was Rayquaza!
Rayquaza did not care about the human city below. Its attacks hit the city by mistake. It only wanted to destroy the space bug.
Then its eyes became colder and more angry.
It thought about something. It thought that not all humans were worth protecting.
"Roar!"
Rayquaza fired another beam of dragon light at Deoxys. Deoxys moved quickly to avoid it. Then Deoxys moved forward fast.
It used the Psychic-type move, Zen Headbutt.
Deoxys hit Rayquaza's chin hard. Rayquaza made a sound of pain.
But Deoxys was in Speed Forme. The Zen Headbutt was not very strong. It hurt, but it was not a big hit.
This made Rayquaza even more angry.
Rayquaza yelled. Its claws turned green and bright. It tried to hit Deoxys.
At the same time, Rayquaza started to charge dragon light in its mouth again.
It knew its claws might miss Deoxys. This happened before. But it did not matter. If Deoxys moved away, Rayquaza would fire the dragon light at it.
It wondered if the bug thought it could control Rayquaza.
But just then.
A strong Ice Beam shot out from behind Rayquaza.
Rayquaza felt it immediately. The cold made its scales feel strange.
Rayquaza turned its head fast. The dragon light in its mouth hit the attack.
The Dragon Pulse and the Ice Beam hit each other. They exploded with a loud bang.
"Roar!! (Who is it? How bold! You actually dare to sneak attack me!)"
Rayquaza was very angry. It was Rayquaza. Someone used Ice Beam on it secretly. Rayquaza thought they wanted to die.
The dust went away. Two purple eyes appeared. Dark Mewtwo was there. It did not have its armor anymore. Its face showed no feelings.
Rayquaza was confused. It did not know this black Pokémon.
But Rayquaza knew the Pokémon attacked it.
So, it was an enemy.
Rayquaza looked closely. It thought about how to attack. It wanted to show this black Pokémon the power of its family.
Deoxys looked at Dark Mewtwo. Its eyes moved. It remembered. That human was helping it.
He was a good person.
"Can you use Ice Beam?"
A man's voice spoke in Deoxys's mind. Deoxys stopped for a second.
Damian used Dark Mewtwo to talk to Deoxys.
Deoxys nodded. It could use the move. It knew this was the human from before.
"Then use Ice Beam to attack it. Switch to Attack Forme." The man's voice spoke again.
Deoxys waited for a moment. Then it did what the human said.
Deoxys changed its shape. It had two arms again. Its head and ears grew longer.
It was Attack Forme!
Deoxys put its arms together. Blue energy appeared. It was the move Ice Beam.
The ice shot toward Rayquaza.
Rayquaza was fast. It saw the attack. It turned its head to hit the ice with a Dragon Pulse.
The two moves hit each other hard. But Deoxys was in Attack Forme.
It was very strong. Its Ice Beam was stronger than the Dragon Pulse. The ice moved toward Rayquaza.
Rayquaza yelled. It was also angry at the black Pokémon behind it.
"Ice Beam!"
Dark Mewtwo fired a beam of ice at Rayquaza.
Rayquaza was hit from both sides. It could not stop both attacks. It thought the two were bad for working together. Dark Mewtwo's Ice Beam hit Rayquaza.
Ice moves do four times more damage to Rayquaza. It is a Dragon and Flying-type.
Boom!
Rayquaza yelled in pain. Its big body fell. It hit the ground hard. Ice was on its green body.
The ground shook because Rayquaza was heavy. There was a lot of dust.
Dark Mewtwo's attack hurt Rayquaza a lot.
Rayquaza was strong, but it was not in its Mega form. It still had a big weakness to Ice.
"That's how wild Pokémon are. They don't even know to aim for the weak spots. If it had used Ice Beam earlier, this flying green caterpillar would have been unable to get up long ago."
Damian mocked the Pokémon.
He knew Rayquaza had a lot of health. But Damian did not think it could survive three Ice Beams from Attack Forme Deoxys.
In a game, Rayquaza would lose quickly.
But this was real life. Rayquaza was strong. But Damian was sure. Just three hits.
If it took three Ice Beams from Attack Forme Deoxys, Rayquaza would faint.
That was the power of a four-times weakness!
"Roar!!!"
Soon, Rayquaza yelled again. It was very angry. It still had ice on its body. It flew up high and looked at Dark Mewtwo.
You used a sneak attack again!
Rayquaza was very angry. It would not forgive this Pokémon.
Rayquaza fired a Dragon Pulse at Dark Mewtwo. Then it flew fast toward it.
Dark Mewtwo made a purple shield. It stopped the Dragon Pulse.
Dark Mewtwo was stronger than when it fought Ho-Oh.
Rayquaza hit the shield hard. The shield moved, but it did not break.
"Ice Beam."
Then Deoxys appeared behind Rayquaza. Deoxys fired an Ice Beam at Rayquaza's head.
Rayquaza saw the attack. It moved its head fast to avoid it.
It was very fast. It dodged the Ice Beam.
Rayquaza looked at Deoxys with anger. It hated the space bug.
But then, Rayquaza felt a cold pain on its back. It was Dark Mewtwo's Ice Beam!
Rayquaza made a sound of pain. It fell again. It hit a building.
"This is a group fight. You can't be careless for even a second."
Damian laughed. Rayquaza was too young and simple.
Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Rayquaza was in the broken building. It wanted to fly up and fight again. It wanted to teach them a lesson for fighting together.
But the Ice Beams hurt too much. Its whole body felt pain.
It knew it could not fight both at the same time.
It thought it would win if it was a one-on-one fight.
Because it was Rayquaza!
So...
"Roar!!"
Rayquaza yelled very loudly. The sound went very far.
It was calling for help!
Rayquaza looked through the dust at the two figures in the sky. You dare to hit me.
Don't you know I come from a powerful family? Just wait.
When my dad gets here, you won't be acting so smug!"
"Hmm?"
Damian noticed the roar was different.
Was it a signal for help?
Damian looked closely. He took something out of his bag. He had not used it before. It was time to use it.
At the same time.
"They actually defeated Rayquaza..."
Nemona looked at where Rayquaza fell. She was surprised.
Was Mewtwo really that strong?
"Has Damian been hiding his strength this whole time?"
Cynthia looked at Dark Mewtwo. She had never seen this form.
Where was the armor? Was it Mega Evolution? Or a different form? It did not seem right.
But she knew Damian was not using all his power before.
She felt worried. She wondered if they could beat Damian, even with Mega Evolution.
In the sky, a big Pokémon was moving fast. It was going toward the Hoenn region. It had two beautiful lights behind it.
It was very beautiful
