Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

If that thing isn't removed, Rayquaza might really fight to the death!

Moreover, its emotions are extremely unstable right now. Even if Ash and the others don't fight it, just blocking the airspace and blocking its special moves will constantly provoke its anger, causing its energy to keep approaching the edge of going berserk!

As time goes on, Rayquaza will become increasingly difficult to block!

It's already very difficult to catch. Many Psychic-type Pokémon, such as Mewtwo and the Latias/Latios, have tried to briefly restrict Rayquaza's movements to create opportunities for Ash, but Rayquaza often breaks free with its ferocious power.

"This is... Oh no! Fossilized pterosaur, get out of the way..."

Bang!

The situation suddenly changed. For some reason, the momentum of the Thunder God, which had been circling inside the encirclement, suddenly surged!

Suddenly it activated its super speed, a green light flashed, and Xiao Shi's fossil ape was immediately knocked over... Even he himself was quite shocked!

"Pikachu, Lightning Speed! Charizard, Dragon Charge!"

Fortunately, Ash kept a close eye on the situation and promptly brought in Pikachu and Charizard to fill in, which barely managed to block Rayquaza again.

The injured Shigeru was caught on the back of Zapdos, who arrived at the scene. However, Zapdos clearly knew that he was no longer fit to stay in the air and carried him back to the ground.

"Ash, it's all up to you now!" Gary, though helpless, could only accept the outcome...

Little did they know, Ash was sensing something was extremely wrong!

"Hmm... what is this feeling?" The dormant power of dragon control within him was now surging wildly.

In the distant sky, it seemed as if an immense pressure was approaching!

(Shōji, something's wrong, I'm here to help!)

(Watch out, it's the real Liekongzuo!)

Lugia, far away in the sea, and the managing spirits simultaneously sent out warnings, and at the same time, a torrential downpour began to fall from the horizon... These were signs of the sea god's appearance in the world!

"Mewtwo, you and Lugia go up to the clouds and stop it!" Ash immediately responded. "We can't let that thing land!"

One Rayquaza is already troublesome enough; Ash doesn't want to face two at the same time!

What's more, it's supposed to be the real person's arrival... Xiao Zhi doesn't believe that the other party would come with good intentions!

"And what about you?" Mewtwo asked worriedly.

On the battlefield now, only Rayquaza can barely keep up with its speed. Once it loses its restraint, the entire encirclement becomes meaningless, making it even more difficult for Ash to catch Rayquaza.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to solve Rayquaza's problem!" As he spoke, Ash teleported to Bag's side.

Rayquaza's power has suddenly increased, which must be related to the arrival of that so-called true form. Now is not the time to play it safe. Ash decides to reveal his most crucial trump card!

The trump card is hidden in the baby care pouch in the little bag!

"Little guy, are you willing to help me?" Ash pleaded in a deep voice. "I can't let this war spread to the ground, and I don't want Rayquaza to continue suffering!"

A moment later, the pitch-black Unown G resolutely leaped onto Ash's shoulder.

"Thank you... Let's go, let's go awaken Rayquaza, who is now dominated by rage!"

At this moment, the aura seemed to transform into a brave arrow guiding the target, the pervasive psychic power gathered the figures of its companions in one place, and the surging power of Viridian protected all humans and Pokémon in the air!

Without needing to restrict the opponent's movements any longer, Ash combined the forces within the encirclement and launched a joint attack on the rampaging Rayquaza!

Success or failure depends on this!

At this very moment, above the thick clouds, Mewtwo and Lugia, who were rushing over at full speed, had already confronted Rayquaza's true form!

Upon first glance, Mewtwo was completely stunned by the sight before it.

The giant dragon surging above the sea of ​​clouds looks exactly like Lie Kongzuo, but its body is at least tens of meters long!

It stared intently at Mewtwo and Lugia with its enormous dragon eyes, and the ferocity emanating from its body could even freeze space!

"What on earth is this..."

"This is the legendary true form." A clear voice suddenly rang out, but it wasn't Lugia.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of firelight dyed the clouds red…

Ho-Oh has arrived!

Chapter 557 The Trial Resumes, the Standoff... and the Arrival of Reinforcements!

"Ho-Oh... what brings you here too?"

Lugia was caught off guard by her old best friend and was momentarily stunned, even forgetting that a formidable enemy was nearby.

Of course, she wasn't feeling guilty; she hadn't snatched the man someone else had their eye on...

"With something this big happening, of course I had to come," Ho-Oh said matter-of-factly. "I originally just planned to let him get some benefits from the Thundurus and Rayquaza, but who knew he would attract Rayquaza's real body... And you're in such a weak state now, what if it bullies you?"

"Hey, I just had a baby, don't make me sound so weak," Lugia complained, feigning displeasure. "Besides, I've already mastered superb combat skills. If we spar again, I'll definitely crush you on the sea!"

Use ice against dragons, and use water against pure fire.

In particular, when facing certain fire-based enemies, hitting them with a Primal Force attack right at the start is always a good idea.

These are all battle techniques that Ash taught Silver... Lugia would never admit that she secretly learned them while exclaiming things like, "He knows so much, he's so good to kids..."

"Wow, your speech and behavior are becoming more and more human-like. This is truly... there's an old saying, 'One who stays near ink gets stained black'~"

"No matter how dark he is, didn't you pick him first? Who was the one who initially left the rainbow feather? Who was the one who eagerly tested him and offered him benefits?"

...

Speaking of which, listening to the two birds, gold and silver, chirping around him, Mewtwo couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

With such a gossipy attitude, how dare he call himself a legendary master?

No wonder there's a saying... one woman is worth five hundred ducks!

"enough!!!"

A thunderous roar suddenly echoed from the clouds. Rayquaza, who had descended in its true form, was clearly unable to tolerate the incessant chatter of the two noisy bird sisters.

"Is it coming?" Mewtwo suddenly became alert.

"Don't worry, there won't be a fight." Ho-Oh flapped its wings nonchalantly. "The area above the clouds is indeed this green dragon's home ground..."

"You bastard! What did you call me?!" Rayquaza exploded upon hearing the name Ho-Oh spoke.

"My name is so fitting," Phoenix King scoffed, "If you don't like it, it just means you don't know what's good for you."

Honestly, Ho-Oh really thinks this name is quite fitting.

Green, short-tempered, and a dragon...

One name, three characters, perfectly encapsulates all of Rayquaza's characteristics.

"Damn it..." the dragon roared, but it did not make any rash moves.

This concern was quickly noticed by Mewtwo.

"I told you we wouldn't fight~" Ho-Oh laughed smugly, "No matter how fierce Rayquaza is, it still has to consider the actual situation... We can't beat it one-on-one, but with the three of us combined, even it would have a hard time dealing with it!"

Rayquaza's expression darkened considerably, but Ho-Oh's attacks did not end.

"Also, when it descends in its true form, it can indeed unleash its full power without restraint; but if it accidentally injures us, it might have to recuperate in the ozone layer for decades or even centuries~"

Ho-Oh's words clearly hit Rayquaza's concerns.

Legendary Pokémon like these, which have existed for hundreds of millions or even billions of years, have accumulated enormous amounts of energy within their bodies. If they were to unleash their full power, they could display such a magnificent true form.

While this method can potentially destroy the world, it also carries enormous risks. If someone is accidentally injured, it is not something that can be recovered in a short period of time.

Rayquaza rushed over in a rage, only to run into three tough opponents, leaving it in a bit of a dilemma.

"You three... do you really intend to be my enemy for the sake of humanity?!" it questioned in a muffled voice, its words filled with suppressed anger!

Because of something, humans are now absolutely the group it hates the most... especially fathead fish and humans in areas where they can't fly!

It thought that after that incident, humans would restrain themselves, but then another bastard dared to plot against its own kind!

Just thinking about this makes Rayquaza furious, and he wants to fight the three legendary heroes without a second thought.

"We don't want to be your enemy. It's you who, without distinguishing right from wrong, wants to hurt the people we care about." Phoenix's expression gradually turned serious. "Dare you say you didn't come here with the intention of destroying everything?"

"Hmph!" Rayquaza snorted coldly.

That's exactly what it thought: to annihilate the bastards who dared to lay a hand on its people, even if it meant destroying the entire region!

"We will stop you!" Ho-Oh's eyes suddenly turned extremely sharp. "Rayquaza, if you want to fight, the three of us are ready to fight anytime!"

"Roar!!!"

Above the clouds, Rayquaza, facing the three first-tier gods who were waiting in full battle array, was so enraged that he roared repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Ash, who was below the clouds, was also working with his companions to relentlessly pursue and intercept another Rayquaza.

Countless electric grids, flames, and ripples of superpowers intertwined in the air, but they were no match for Rayquaza's rampage. Instead, Rayquaza easily injured Corviknight and Pelipper, who were unable to dodge in time!

Even the little bag that was being carried into flight and Lucario were caught off guard and fell from the sky!

"Damn it... Is this guy going to get away?" Ash's expression turned serious.

He truly hadn't expected Rayquaza to actually appear, making it so difficult to catch. He even had trouble using his psychic powers to track Rayquaza's movements, let alone getting close with Unown G along with it.

Ultimately, it was because their own air combat capabilities were insufficient. Although they had many flying Pokémon, few could keep up with Rayquaza's fast and powerful attacks, and it would always find an opening to break through their encirclement.
