Chapter 625: Chapter 625 Rayquaza!
...
Natsu didn't expect Drake was also here.
Luckily, he had negotiated with Dragapult beforehand and included it in a Poké Ball.
He fears that something in the "Draconid Tribe" has the special ability to sense Dragon-Type Pokémon, and will find Dragapult.
"Okay, now that Natsu is here, let's go to elder Aster's place" Drake said.
It seems Drake isn't low on the "Draconid Tribe" either.
The elder standing beside him didn't show any disapproval towards Drake taking over the right to speak.
Then everyone, led by Drake and the elder, walked towards the "Dragon's Nest" outside the village.
During this period, Natsu gradually understands the relationship between Drake and the "Draconid Tribe" through some simple conversations with Tomatoma.
Drake is not "Draconid Tribe".
But he has a good relationship with them.
Drake accidentally entered "Meteor's Land" when he was young.
Eventually recognized by the "Draconid Tribe", taking a Dragon-Type Pokemon egg from the "Dragon's Nest" like Natsu.
And that Pokémon egg is the current Drake's Trump Card, Salamence.
The "Draconid Tribe" have been in touch with Drake ever since.
The relationship is very good.
So, even though Drake wasn't a "Draconid Tribe", it could be considered a half.
In the final analysis, the "Draconid Tribe" is a group of ancient people from different places, and finally gathered into a nation in the "Meteor Land".
Not long.
The whole group came to a big tree.
There are still plenty of Dragon-Type Pokémon hanging around the large dragon nest in the tree.
Under the tree, Elder Aster was lying comfortably in the rocking chair, her eyes half narrowed.
Seeing Drake and Natsu coming, her slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened.
"Elder Aster." Drake shouted with a smile.
Even though Drake was quite old, when he came to pick Pokémon eggs, Elder Aster was already standing guard under the tree.
So even though Drake was now an Elite Four, he still respected Elder Aster.
Elder Aster's cloudy eyes swept through the crowd, and bowed to Drake and Elder Yan, and finally landed on Natsu's body.
"Come too."
A faint smile appeared on Elder Aster's face.
"Elder Aster." Natsu stepped forward and greeted politely.
Elder Aster nodded without a trace, slowly stood up from the chair, and lightly patted her back with her hands behind her back.
At this time, a little girl come running out from behind the tree and quickly supported her.
"Grandma."
Zinnia?
Seeing this girl, her name immediately came to Natsu's mind.
"hehe - it's fine."
Elder Aster patted her head attentively, then said to everyone:
"Come on."
With slow but steady steps, she walked up the wooden winding escalator that circled around a large tree.
The tree is huge.
The first largest branch after ascending was "Dragon's Nest".
But Elder Aster didn't mean to stop, but instead continued to rise.
The crowd didn't seem surprised either.
Natsu followed the crowd curiously.
In fact, he really wanted to ask about Latios's Pokémon egg, but the current situation didn't seem right, and he could only suppress some thoughts in his heart.
Quick.
The crowd came to the top of the escalator.
is a tree hole.
Upon entering, there is no decoration, just a table placed in the middle of a tree hole.
On the table, Natsu saw a fist-sized green gem.
It emitted a faint halo, and it seemed that there was a mysterious power circulating within it.
In the center of the gemstone, was engraved a symbol that looked like a triangle if roughly looked at.
Delta Δ!
This is a Jade Orb that corresponds to a Red Orb and a Blue Orb?
Can you contact or even call Rayquaza?
After entering the tree hole, everyone's eyes were on Natsu.
Noticing their gazes, Natsu was taken aback.
"What does this mean?"
Drake said with a smile: "Natsu, that's why we called you here."
"en? "
"This is an Orb passed down by the Draconid Tribe for generations. It is said that it can contact or even summon the legendary Rayquaza, but an ordinary person can't do it, only the legendary 'child of prophecy' who can do it." explained Drake.
The corners of Natsu's mouth twitched.
He never admitted that he was this "child of prophecy."
It was all envisioned by elder Yan and the others.
He really wanted to say "child of the prophecy", it had to be the granddaughter of Elder Aster, Zinnia, right?
Natsu's eyes swept over the girl supporting Elder Aster.
She also looked at Natsu curiously.
Zinnia's face reddened slightly as their eyes met, and she hastily avoided it.
Natsu pressed the corner of his brow.
"cough cough, Drake Elite, I don't think I'm a 'child of the prophecy'."
"No, it's you."
This time it was indeed Elder Aster.
Natsu saw her determined face.
"Why?"
Natsu was curious.
How can they be so sure?
"Because of the dragon egg you took, the 'starstone' you got from under the dragon egg, and why did Darkrai find you to tell you this news instead of telling Drake who was also around at the time?"
Dragon egg? starstone?
Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly.
So say.
The Mega Evolution Stone that was originally under the Latios Pokémon egg, did Elder Aster actually know about it?
It's just that she doesn't know it's a Mega Evolution stone or what it does.
As for why Darkrai found him.
Actually, Natsu didn't know.
Even at this moment, an absurd thought crossed his mind.
Am I really a "child of prophecy"?
But this is not the Ninja World, how can there be such a mysterious thing.
Natsu pursed his lips.
Since they are so sure, give it a try.
After all, otherwise there should be no way to get to Rayquaza.
Then the "Draconid Tribe" might understand their misunderstanding of Natsu.
"What am I going to do?" he asked.
"Although there are still some differences from the legendary time in the prophecy, if the 'Earth God' and 'Sea God' of the Ancient Era really come back to life, the Sky God will also appear, but that is not contradictory to the past and present Millennium Testament."
Elder Aster explained it.
Then looked at Natsu.
"Reach and summon the Sky Lord."
Natsu looked at Elder Aster's determined and slightly hopeful eyes of the "Draconid Tribe" in the tree cave, then looked at the Jade Orb, which was quietly placed on the table.
After a bit of hesitation.
Stepping forward.
Under everyone's attention, he slowly reached out to the Jade Orb.
Nothing gets in the way.
Start.
It was a cold touch, but after it cooled down, there was a trace of temperature.
An unexplained power enters Natsu's body along the Orb.
Then..
Then nothing then.
Natsu looked at Elder Aster in confusion.
But she frowned and said solemnly: "Summoning the Sky Lord, your thoughts must be pure and virtuous."
Natsu took a deep breath.
Closes his eyes slowly.
He shouted inwardly:
"Rayquaza."
Suddenly.
Natsu's Poké ball opens, and Latios appears at a red light.
Latios looked flustered as he exited.
He didn't even know how he got out.
Seeing Latios' appearance, Drake's face showed shock, but Elder Aster's and Elder Yan's faces showed a smile.
Also say no
"Os?"
Oh, I see.
Latios' body exploded with rich Dragon-Type energy, and the blue-purple Dragon-Type energy mixed with some green energy fluctuations.
If Natsu's eyes were still open at this point, he would be able to figure it out.
At first he took out a pure green "Dragon Crystal" from the Alliance's treasure trove.
Natsu was still thinking.
Will the green "Dragon Crystal" be related to Rayquaza?
But since there was no way to learn it, he didn't think about it deeply.
And that "Dragon Crystal", a small part of which was used to resurrect Dreepy, which is still a fossil. (here our little Dreepy is forgotten)
Most of the rest was injected into Latios, who was still a Pokémon egg at the time.
As Latios' power increased, he digested and absorbed some of the Dragon-Type energy accumulated in his body and converted it into his own power.
But in fact, there is still some energy hidden in the deepest parts that has not been absorbed.
Among them, there is a part of the green "Dragon Crystal" energy.
Now.
Inspired by the Jade Orb, the energy that resided in Latios was released.
The Dragon-Type Energy hidden in Latios stimulated the Jade Orb even more.
Tell the truth.
Natsu shouldn't be able to activate the Jade Orb, but is greatly stimulated by Latios' energy.
Natsu who closed his eyes suddenly realized that he could see something.
In front of his eyes.
It is a vast starry sky, a vast realm, and a place where no end can be seen.
And the thing that stood out the most before his eyes was the terrifying green giant dragon that was crouching and looking down at him.
Rayquaza!
Natsu's breath froze as he made eye contact with Rayquaza.
A reluctant smile appeared.
He never thought about it.
And now in the tree hollow, seeing Natsu and the Jade Orb flashing a strange colorful light beam in his hands, Drake and the "Draconid Tribe" are even more convinced.
In the prophecy, the "Child of Prophecy" can contact the Sky God.
Now that Natsu had withdrawn the Jade Orb, the "Draconid Tribe" wouldn't bother him, even if he didn't want to admit it.
Just in time for the Draconid Tribe to get excited about it.
Inspired when they can finally contact their "Sky God" again after thousands of years.
Natsu was a little embarrassed, didn't know what to do.
Rayquaza doesn't seem to have much input though.
After staring at Natsu for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at a certain direction in the distant starry sky.
Follow his line of sight.
Natsu saw it too, and there seemed to be a large piece of Meteorite "slowly" moving this way.
The "slowness" in his vision was naturally different from what Rayquaza saw.
It was just that the distance was too far, so he couldn't really see it.
'Is that the Meteorite in the Divination? Is that Deoxys over there? ' thought Natsu to himself.
"Raaay-!!"
Then he heard Rayquaza roar and moved towards the Meteorite.
A terrifying sound resounds in the ozone layer, but it is difficult to transmit in a universe without a medium.
Natsu's ears are "Bzz Bzz".
He didn't know where he was now.
Is he in the ozone layer?
Or see Rayquaza via Jade Orb?
But Rayquaza's voice sounded so real to him.
See you again.
Rayquaza's tail swung, and his massive body moved nimbly in the ozone layer.
But before Natsu could say anything, he saw Rayquaza with his bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl, and tail waving at him.
"Wait! Wait--"
But Rayquaza doesn't mean to stop.
Under Natsu's frightened eyes, the hideous and huge mouth was getting closer and closer to him.
He could even see clearly, Rayquaza pressing one dragon's sharp teeth after another into his mouth.
bang!
Closed mouth.
And in the tree hollow, under the tutelage of the Draconid Tribe, Natsu and Latios were enveloped in pure green energy released from the Jade Orb.
The space is narrow and there are waves and distortions.
A familiar feeling appeared around Natsu.
At the same time, in a state where no one could see clearly, Natsu's and Latios' silhouettes suddenly dissipated into energy.
ding ding ding~ ——
The Jade Orb returned to its original form.
Falling to the ground, colliding and sliding out, making a sharp sound.
But couldn't see Natsu and Latios.
for this scene.
Drake and the "Draconid Tribe" were shocked.
How?
It was a long time before Drake broke the silence.
"This."
Elder Yan and Elder Aster looked at each other.
In the end, Elder Aster explained it.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is said that the Sky Lord will send people to the unknown space to test and choose. As long as they can pass the test, they can return."
Drake's brows furrowed.
"What if you don't pass?"
Elder Yan and Elder Aster fell silent.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Drake was a little annoyed.
Even though he has a close relationship with the "Draconid Tribe".
But he was also an Elite Four of the Alliance.
He still placed great importance on the younger generation of the Alliance.
Natsu is a very good seed according to him, if because of this.
Elder Yan said helplessly, "Although there is such a record in the ancient book, that's all. This is the first time we've heard of anything happening after the Sky God appeared in person. It's the first time we've heard of situations of using the ball to retrieve it."
Drake couldn't help but think of Agatha's character, and pressed his temples.
"Hope. Natsu can return smoothly."
...
...
And the current Natsu.
In fact, he only "saw" that he was swallowed up by Rayquaza.
And then feel the familiar and twisted space fluctuations.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a vast meadow.
While a light breeze blew, blowing the grass, it also blew the ends of his hair and brought a bit of coolness.
Natsu says he's no stranger to these kinds of encounters.
He had been to a different space of Regigigas, and a different space of Groudon.
Exhale slowly.
A hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"So this time I entered a Rayquaza's different space? "
But this was the first time he was "eaten" to enter a different space.
"Oss?" "
Latios was curious about the surroundings.
He looked around, looking a little excited.
"Oss!" "
Suddenly.
Latios tugged on Natsu's sleeve and pointed at the sky.
Natsu looked up when he saw a mighty green dragon flying through the air.
It's Rayquaza!
Rayquaza's eyes seemed to sweep over Natsu as he passed over his head.
It's Rayquaza!
Tight and Dragon Tail swayed, shooting into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Hazy clouds and mist enveloped the tall mountains that towered high in the sky.
"Are we going there? "
Latios also looked in the direction Rayquaza had left.
When he saw the towering pillar, he didn't know why, but he was lost.
"What is the problem? "
Natsu noticed the change in Latios' expression.
"Oos." Latios came back to his senses, shaking his head.
He didn't know how.
Just interested but don't know why.
After telling Natsu this almost instinctive idea.
Natsu lowered his head, holding his hat so the wind wouldn't blow him away.
Maybe. Rayquaza did this, not for me, but for Latios?
He had always been curious about Latios' origins.
It makes sense that Pokemon like Latios shouldn't have Pokemon eggs, even if they do have differentiated genders.
Latios and Latias, aren't they little siblings.
Then the question is, if there were no eggs, how would Latios and Latias appear?
And, more than one.
Possible.
That's why Rayquaza called him.
Natsu lightly caressed Ladios' head, said with a smile: "Then let's go and have a look. "
"Oss!" "
Latios nodded vigorously.
