Chapter 315: 315. Destiny Deoxys 8
Dragon-type Pokémon's have the pride and dignity of every other other type of Pokémon combined and more.
Even non-Dragon-types that have dragonic genes like Charizard/Gyarados/Aerodectyl have this problem with them.
Not just any Pokémon Trainer can train Dragon-type Pokémon's, it's very hard to maintain control over them. Not only that, they were also very expensive to train up with all the resources they need at the beginning.
What's more, this was a literal God-level Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza, the expenses were unimaginable.
During his long journey, Ash had met several Trainers who wanted to challenge Legendarys like the three Legendary Beasts, and some had even tried to catch them.
Although they made a lot of so called "clever" preparations, they were all easily resolved by the Legendary in question.
So, are Legendary Pokémon that easy to catch? If one thing goes wrong, it will completely backfire on the Trainer and get themselves killed. That is to say, the three Legendary Beasts have a relatively mild tempers compared to others, which allows the humans that challenged them to escape unscathed.
The only reason Ash was able to catch his Legendary Pokémon's was because of how strong he was and the power he wields.
If it was someone else in this position, without his strength or abilities, they would have died by now—no question about it.
And now, a human Trainer was holding his Jade Orb. How can Rayquaza tolerate this with his arrogance? Tolerate someone that he doesn't even if is worthy to fight him?
It immediately gave up chasing the two Deoxys and headed towards Ash's position.
This was one of the possible backlash of facing Pokémon. Just because Ash had the Master Ball with him to help catch Rayquaza didn't exactly mean that he had no other way to catch him, it was simply the fastest way.
The other, the better choice in Ash's opinion, was to first battle and show Rayquaza his strength, thereby proving how worthy he was of following.
If Ash did have the option, he would 100% try to not use his Master Ball for the rest of your life. If it was possible, he wanted to test out if an Ultra Ball worked on Rayquaza, if it didn't, then he'd use his only Master Ball.
So there is only one thing Ash needs to do now, battle and catch it.
Very simple and easy.
It was a very big true pity that he couldn't have his much stronger and older Pokémon's, those being his Legendary and those that can use Bonds Evolutions to maximum (Legendarys, Starters, Snorlax, Tyranitar, etc), with him because of the whole Pokémon Center getting destroyed, otherwise he could really have a few rounds with this young and energetic Rayquaza.
Now, Ash could only rely on these two Deoxys and the current Pokémon's with him. Although these two don't like fighting that much, they were still Mythical Pokémon's and thus had major powers to fight this battle, and they are very happy to lend their power to Ash, temporarily listening to his commands.
"I'll just call you Purple and Green for now!"
Because the compatibility and bonding values were too low, Ash will definitely have a lot of trouble when commanding them, especially if he calls both of them Deoxys, so try to simplify the naming.
The other thing he did here to make sure they understand his commands was to create a Psychic Link between them to better communicate.
As for their new name, the two Deoxys really don't have any objections, in fact they liked this new name.
"Finally, a battle where I can go all out without anything holding me back!" Ash's fighting spirit reached its peak in an instant by being able to fight like this in a long while.
He was about to capture Rayquaza, whom he had longed to catch for a long time.
Just as Jirachi said to him before, his wish was finally about to come true.
"Purple, Speed Form, Zen Headbutt!"
"Green, Attack Fork, Zap Cannon!"
Purple had previously used Psycho Boost three times in a row, and now her Special Attack has been greatly reduced, so Ash chose to let it transform into its Speed Form, and used its high speed to use Zen Headbutt against Rayquaza.
This was a Physical Attack of the Psychic-type, a very rare one for them, and it was also the most advanced form of the regular Headbutt attack. While this also does some damage damage, it can also make the opponent flinch. Not only was Ash letting Purple attack Rayquaza physically, but he was letting it be a nuisance for Rayquaza while facing Green.
Purple reacted quickly under Ash's command, its body changed rapidly, and the purple barrier wrapped in Psychic rushed over immediately, this was also boosted by Ash's own Psychic powers, thus increasing its power by a little.
Rayquaza, who was not under the command of a Trainer, immediately blasted it head-on with a blast of destructive Hyper Beam, but it was easily avoided by the much more faster Purple. Under its current Speed Form, its speed was much faster than Rayquaza and its attacks.
Zen Headbutt hit Rayquaza hard, but Purples attack was not over yet.
Green, who has a quieter personality, was ordered by Asg to get ready to use a Zap Cannon, an extremely powerful Electric-type attack, which happened to hit Rayquaza at this exact time.
Rayquaza has the secondary Flying-type, however, because of his primary Dragon-type, the effect was only a neutral one, which was still not that bad.
The most important thing was that Zap Cannon attack was able to Rayquaza into the rare Paralysis status condition.
Seeing the electric arc flashing on Rayquaza's body, Ash showed a grin and said, "Pikachu, do you want to battle too?"
"Pika pi!"
Pikachu's fighting spirit was also burning like crazy, and he can no longer contain it.
"RAYYQ!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of thunder came from Pikachu, Ash took off his hat and put it on his head instead.
Bonds Evolutions!
"PIKA!"
Feeling this same powerful force once again, Pikachu let out an excited cheer, and suddenly turned into a flash of spark, and got on the same level of elevation of the two Deoxys to fight Rayquaza!
This was the Electro-Magnetic Levitation skill that he was training very hard to maintain. After learning how to perfect his Electric Terrain under Ash, sometimes together with Raikou, Zapdos and the far behind Manectric, this was Pikachu's second form of Electric Terrain, and this was a skill that he can only use under his Bonds Evolutions form. Anytime else, he will randomly teleport and land some place else, sometimes even miles away.
At this moment, Pikachu was basically flying.
Seeing that this little guy was so brave and foolish enough to actually try fight him, Rayquaza didn't know how to react to it. He immediately used Ancient Power and summoned a lot of boulders and fossil looking things out of nowhere to hit Pikachu.
"Purple, Defense Form, use Mirror Coat!"
"Green, Psycho Boost!"
Ash was currently controlling three Pokémon to fight at once, two were Mythical Pokémon's and one was an overpowered electric rat, but under their current Bonds Evolutions, Ash and Pikachu felt the same way, so there was no concern about about them being unable to hear each other. Additionally, even without their Bonds Evolutions, Pikachu had followed Ash enough to know what to do without being ordered to. If Ash decides on something on the spot, they can just connect again and get the thing done.
At this moment, it completely ignored the big rocks that were already close to hand, and continued to use his Volt Tackle straight towards Rayquaza.
It handed all defense to his current partner!
Purple suddenly teleported in front of Pikachu with Teleport, what do you expect, using Mirror Coat to reflect the Ancient Power back towards Rayquaza with twice the amount of initial power.
The dual Dragon-type and Flying-type Rayquaza was very weak agains Rock-type attacks, though not nearly as weak as he is against Ice-types.
Not only that, the moment Pikachu's Volt Tackle hit Rayquaza, the twice the power of Ancient Power and another one of Green's Psycho Boost also arrived at the same time!
The three attacks all came together at the end, and even the giant Rayquaza was now completely shrouded in the thick black smoke, letting out a very painful roar!
In the distance, Rafe and Brock were watching this battle, completely forgetting to record the battle like they were told to, and from the beginning to now, what they saw was Ash commanding the two Deoxys and his own Pikachu to suppress the Legendary Guardian of the Sky, Rayquaza!
"Ash, he is too powerful!" Rafe had already long given up on trying to beat Ash after their second battle, this was just the extra number of nails to the coffin that he truthfully he never needed.
No matter what he does or will ever do, he can't ever come close to Ash's level.
He was simply at an unfathomable level, something he could never ever even dream of.
However, Rayquaza suddenly burst out in the smoke with a painful expression and gnawed towards Ash's side with a large mouthful of pure and concentrated Dark-type energy, this was Crunch!
This was a Dark-type skill, which has an outstanding effect on the pure Psychic-type Deoxys!
Purple was bitten before he could even Teleport out or change into a different form from his current Speed Form, this attack had destroyed half of his entire body. This was a heavy amount of injury, something that was not appreciated in a situation like this. Even if it was in its Defense Form like a few seconds ago, this would still have been a very bad attack to protect against.
"Purple, come back quickly!" Ash hurriedly called back his temporary Deoxys back.
The compatibility was too low for Ash to use his own powers in such a small timeframe to help Purple out. If it was even 10 points higher, he could have done something about this. Even though Ash still looked very cool in the head, directing a long and dangerous battle like this was really taking too much effort, especially as he had to command multiple Pokémon's and also make sure at the same time that Rayquaza doesn't go on a rampagez
Ash immediately used his own Teleport to return Purple to his side and started to use his Viridian Force on its body, not only that, Purple was also using Recover on itself to make the healing go faster, and that half of its body quickly grew back.
Even after suffering such heavy blows one after another, Rayquaza still had the physical strength to fight back. This was the difference between a "regular" Legendary Pokémon and one at the extreme peak of the pyramid!
This Ultra-Ancient Pokémon, the Sky Guardian Rayquaza, was so powerful even though it was still very young compared to the older one from the legends.
But it was time to end here!
"Finally! It's time for some of our own destruction!" Ash finally stopped caring about the citys infrastructures and showed the Z-Ring on his wrist and embedded the golden Electrium Z-crystal in it.
"Purple, Green! After going into your Speed Form, use your Defense Form to make sure Rayquaza doesn't escape!" Ash and Pikachu were going to use amplified moves, and even amplifying them if it was possible.
The high and once blue and white sky darkened at this moment, beautiful purple and green auroras filled the day sky, and the new golden and blue thunder seemed to tear the entire sky apart!
It was like The Creator descending onto its own creation!
The golden light on Ash's body rose up to the sky, but fell with the thunder with an even more terrifying force and merged into Pikachu's body. The divine thunder from the sky was scurrying around Pikachu's small body, but he quickly stood there with a new power.
"This is the power that out Bond created!"
A huge and terrifying thunderball was forming, and now Rayquaza was actually beginning to really panick.
It twisted its body, but it was held tightly by two Deoxys to make sure it doesn't escape under Ash's commands.
"SKY! DI! OS!"
Rayquaza raised his head to the sky and roared extremely loudly, to where even the people that escaped the city were clearly able to hear it. Not only hear, they could also very easily see the MASSIVE storm on the sky over their once beloved city.
Although the momentum was amazing, it was also filled with panic that could not be concealed. The thunder in front of it made it very fearful. The voice from its very core was telling it that if it was hit by this move, it would definitely be seriously injured, and maybe that was the least of its concern.
I must avoid it! I must avoid it!
It was struggling crazily, but the two Deoxys still glued themselves onto his body and wouldn't let go no matter what it tried.
"Rayquaza, become my partner!" At this moment, Ash's whole body was shining with golden holy light, he was as dazzling as the brightest of stars.
He wanted to conquer Rayquaza, and he will make sure he does it!
"GIGAVOLT HAVOC!"
The two Deoxys relied on their defensive form to withstand the blows of Asg and Pikachu for a second and then immersed changed into their Speed Form and dipped.
The terrifying lightning cage swallowed up once very majestic Legendary Dragon Pokémon!
Just waiting for the thunder to dissipate, Rayquaza stood there covered in black smoke.
The two Deoxys were also scorched black, but not nearly as Rayquaza as they dipped before the true power came. But thsi still showed how powerful Pikachu's power was, it was able to defeat a Legendary Pokémon and also do some MASSIVE damage to two extremely defensive Mythical Pokémon's.
They let go of Rayquaza and used their Recover again just in case and get back their powers.
"Ray!" Rayquaza didn't have such a quick recovery skill, it only had Rest, but it suddenly roared, pushing its charred body and spiraling upward, its momentum was still very terrifying, though not nearly as it wanted to show.
However, Rayquaza did not continue to attack, but slowly came to Ash's level.
The emerald green orb in Ash's hand was shining with green light, then floating and was taken into Rayquaza's mouth and swallowed.
Ash ignored it and raised the Master Ball in his hand towards Rayquaza, "This is the Master Ball. I won't insult your Dragon pride. Become my partner, Rayquaza!"
"RAYQUAZA!"
Rayquaza let out a loud dragon roar and gently tapped the Master Ball with his left claw.
Rayquaza: 150/255
