Chapter 1205: The Dragon God's Recognition!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
The "Visitor from the Sky" incident had finally come to an end.
He watched the three Deoxys depart completely.
All that remained was Ash himself and the peerless black dragon in the sky.
"Well then, I should get ready to return to my own world."
Ash immediately turned his attention to Rayquaza.
"Please, Dragon God Leader, take me back to my original world!"
Ash spread his arms wide, shouting as if he were making a wish.
The enemy had vanished, and the black Rayquaza had shed its Mega Evolution form, reverting to a simple, unadorned black Dragon God.
The series of intense battles had caused the Mega energy within its celestial organ to drop to a level where it was about to fall below 90%.
Finding a new energy supply was crucial.
However, in response to Ash's request...
"Hmph, and why should I return?"
Rayquaza's tone reverted to its ancient manner of speech, filled with the ephemeral weight of ages past.
That was Ash's world, not its own. Besides, there was no energy supply there.
It had only flown over before because it was drawn by that energy meteorite.
Now that the meteorite was destroyed, what reason did it have to go back?
"That's not it! Dragon God Leader, I still need to go home! For the sake of our strong bond, won't you see me off?"
Ash tried to appeal to its emotions.
"Hmph, that is your own affair."
However, Rayquaza completely ignored Ash, its expression cold.
It even coiled its draconic body, looking as if it was about to depart.
Hmm...
In truth, it couldn't return to that world now either.
Like Mewtwo, it could still tear open a space-time channel.
But without the pull of the seven-colored energy meteorite, it no longer knew the correct path.
But being as proud as it was, it would never admit something like "I can't" in front of Ash.
Swoosh!
Its long, black body soared upward, dancing high in the air.
As if treading upon the clouds, Rayquaza ascended, its form growing increasingly faint and distant.
*The meteorite energy in this world seems pretty good... I might as well snatch the territory of that local Rayquaza down below!*
"Eh..."
Watching Rayquaza's form gradually disappear high in the sky, the smile vanished from Ash's face, and he couldn't help but sigh.
He was still a little disappointed.
It seemed his relationship with this incomparably powerful Dragon God, Rayquaza, was merely a chance encounter.
*Bling~!*
Just then, a point of starlight twinkling in the sky caught Ash's attention.
It fell slowly, like a raindrop, yet seemed guided by some invisible force as it floated gently into Ash's hand.
Taking a closer look, he saw that it was a black scale, seven or eight centimeters long and about half the size of his palm.
It was shaped like a burning black flame and contained an immense amount of Dragon Energy.
"This is...?!"
Ash's eyes widened. This seemed to be...
A black dragon scale from Rayquaza?!
One must understand that as an ancient deity, parts of their body do not simply fall off. When a being like Ho-Oh seems to mindlessly drop a feather, it is never by accident or simply due to molting.
Especially since this black dragon scale contained an extremely powerful aura, it had clearly been infused with energy in advance.
Examining it closely, he felt as if a ferocious, peerless black dragon was roaring within, about to burst forth and transform into an arrow of light—a Dragon Ascent...
This was the coordinate Black Rayquaza had left for him.
In the future, Ash would only need to channel his thoughts into it, and Rayquaza would be able to lock onto his position, tear through space, and cross countless universes to reach him...
"Dragon God Leader, I'll take good care of it!"
His earlier sorrow vanished in an instant. A smile returned to Ash's face as he tightly gripped the dragon scale.
It seemed he had finally earned the recognition of this ancient Dragon Deity!
*Vrooom...!*
With the deity gone and seeing people from LaRousse City approaching, Ash quickly mounted Latias, preparing to make a run for it.
After all, he wasn't from this world; there was no need to get too involved...
It was enough to just leave a legend behind.
*Rumble!*
Latias's jet engines had just begun to fire up, but Ash felt as if he had forgotten something.
"Wait, there's still the Dragon God Pillar!"
He had almost forgotten about it.
It wasn't destroyed by the Dragon God Leader, was it?
"Wooo~!"
Latias understood, immediately changing direction and flying towards the damaged skyscraper.
They didn't bother taking the stairs; a massive hole had been blasted nearly clean through the middle of the skyscraper, and Latias flew directly inside.
And at the end of the trail of ruins lay a grayish-black dragon head statue shaped like a Charizard's head.
"Uh, was it knocked unconscious?"
Ash couldn't resist stepping forward and tapping on the dragon's head, which produced a *dong, dong, dong* sound.
There was no response.
The Dragon God Pillar was somewhat similar to the Electric God Pillar.
When in a state of rest or unconsciousness, the Electric God Pillar would dissipate the energy and electric current forming its limbs, leaving only its original body—a yellow crystal pillar—stuck in the ground.
As for the Dragon God Pillar, it would close its jaws, completely hiding its original body—the red orb—within, making it look just like an unremarkable statue.
"I hope it wasn't beaten so badly that it's become withdrawn..."
Ash worried silently.
Like a newborn calf that fears no tiger, the awakened Dragon God Pillar possessed immense strength, even fighting Rayquaza to a draw for a short period.
And then...
...and then it was utterly crushed on the spot.
It must have been a huge blow to its pride.
"In any case, come back for now."
Ash could only take out the special Dragon God Ball from Meteor Falls and temporarily recall the Dragon God Pillar.
He'd let the Electric God Pillar give its little partner a good pep talk later.
No sooner had one matter been settled than another arose.
*Bzzzt... Bzzzt...!*
Just as Ash was about to climb onto Latias's back to leave, his pocket suddenly began to buzz and vibrate.
He took the items out and saw that Rayquaza's dragon scale was touching Deoxys's Psychic Crystal. They were creating a ruckus, vibrating continuously as if neither would yield to the other.
"Uh..."
Ash immediately felt a headache coming on.
Their original bodies are naturally opposed; did that mean even things that fell off them wanted to pick a fight?
He quickly separated the two, placing them in different pockets, and only then did the commotion cease.
What sparked his curiosity, however, was that the surface of Deoxys's Psychic Crystal was now glowing with a blue light, as if seeking something.
*Zing!*
Ash was still bewildered when he heard a flash of sound, and the crystal orb disappeared.
The next moment, a voice sounded in his mind.
"I'll hold onto this for you."
It was Brother Mewtwo's voice, his tone just like Delia's when she spoke to Ash during the New Year.
Ash: "???"
Although Mewtwo was on his side, as he took off again on Latias, Ash couldn't help but ask a question.
"Hmm. The brains of these three monkeys from outer space aren't quite normal."
Mewtwo's words were unusually blunt.
