Chapter 27: Hot-Headed Bros, Live Brawl
A deafening draconic roar shook the heavens.
Rayquaza’s body, wreathed in emerald energy, shot forward like a living blade, aiming straight for Ultra Necrozma.
“Dragon Ascent?!”
Chen Nian’s pupils contracted as he recognized Rayquaza’s signature move.
Even an entity as powerful as Ultra Necrozma would not walk away unscathed from a direct hit.
“Ultra Necrozma—evade at full power! Ignore energy expenditure, just don’t let it land!”
“Look for an opening—disrupt it with Psychic! Be ready to counter!”
Responding to Chen Nian’s command, Ultra Necrozma’s radiance intensified. In the next instant, it blinked away as a golden streak—vanishing from sight.
Rayquaza instantly adjusted its trajectory, rocketing toward Necrozma’s new position.
The two titans blurred across the sky in a high-speed chase—a spectacle that left onlookers stunned.
The sheer force of Rayquaza’s flight was catastrophic.
Merely grazing a low mountain as it passed, the entire peak disintegrated into dust under the residual shockwaves.
The power displayed by Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma defied conventional understanding of Pokémon.
Even Deoxys and Kyurem earlier had exhibited strength beyond human comprehension.
Many spectators felt their blood run cold.
If these beings ever turned against humanity… extinction would be inevitable.
As the battle escalated, Kyurem, still grounded, felt hesitation creeping in.
“This is my territory… Running now would be humiliating!”
But charging back in risked getting double-teamed by these maniacs.
“I’d get wrecked!”
If Kyurem had access to the internet, it’d probably be frantically posting:
“Two rage-fueled lunatics are brawling in my backyard. HELP.”
“Dammit… I can’t hold on much longer!”
“What the hell is wrong with this Rayquaza?!”
“Instead of chasing Deoxys, it’s hyper-focused on Necrozma?!”
Gasping for breath, Chen Nian’s face turned ghostly pale—his psychic energy draining rapidly.
If this dragged on, he’d pass out for days.
Mega Rayquaza seemed to grow stronger with every passing second.
With another roar, it transformed into an emerald guillotine, slashing toward Ultra Necrozma.
Necrozma teleported relentlessly, countering with Psychic disruptions whenever possible.
Occasional energy beams shot from its maw, scoring hits on Rayquaza—yet the sky serpent refused to retreat.
Injuries only fueled Rayquaza’s bloodlust.
Its battle aura intensified, radiating unshakable will.
Meanwhile, Ultra Necrozma’s golden glow flickered.
The artificial daylight dimmed, surrendering to encroaching darkness.
Reaching his mental limit, Chen Nian severed the psychic link with Necrozma.
Though their connection remained, Ultra Necrozma—deprived of his energy, reverted to its base form.
Sensing Necrozma’s weakened state, Rayquaza triumphantly lunged for the kill.
Chen Nian barked orders:
“Double Team! Dodge Rayquaza—then hit it with Hidden Power! Prepare Hyper Beam!”
Necrozma split into afterimages—
CRACK!
A blue-white energy beam shattered the clones.
Kyurem had rejoined the fray.
Driven by pride, even knowing it was outmatched—the ice dragon refused to let these intruders trample its domain.
Rayquaza seized the opening.
With devastating force, it slammed into Necrozma.
Though Necrozma barely raised a Protect, the impact sent it flying.
Watching Kyurem take to the skies, Chen Nian adjusted tactics.
“If two-on-one is too much… we’ll crush Kyurem first!”
“Necrozma, Thunder Wave!”
“Now, Stomping Tantrum!”
Necrozma blinked behind Kyurem, delivering a paralyzing jolt before hammering it downward.
Kyurem crashed into the earth.
Seizing the moment, Necrozma unleashed its finisher:
“Flash Cannon, FIRE!”
