Chapter 555: The Pitch-Black Dragon and the Silvery-White Bird
"What do we do now?!"
N already had beads of sweat condensing on his forehead.
Six gods without consciousness or reason, plus a Hoopa Unbound with a furious personality...
Is Dahara City doomed?
No!
The entire Kalos region is doomed!
"Run first!"
Will turned and picked up N, his legs bouncing as he stepped on water currents and flew into the sky.
Reshiram beside them grabbed Ash and the others, following closely behind.
There is one piece of good news right now.
That is the six Pokémon summoned by the Shadow of Hoopa.
Because their true consciousnesses are still slumbering, they completely don't know what their bodies are doing right now.
Therefore, their body sizes have all been maintained in the state they were when they fell asleep, which is the state with the lowest energy consumption.
In this state.
The six Legendary Pokémon are not very large.
Not much taller or heavier than the stats in the Pokédex, basically between 6 to 10 meters!
This physical size means that when they use some moves, the area of effect of the skills will be significantly reduced, lessening the damage to the buildings in Dahara City.
"What do we do now? We must stall the Shadow of Hoopa before Serena and the others repair the Prison Bottle."
N turned his head to look, his expression suddenly changing,
"That guy noticed Dahara Tower! Did he sense the Prison Bottle? We can't keep running!"
"We can't help it even if we don't run, didn't you see those six behind us chasing us?"
Will didn't even turn his head, curling his lips, and then looked at Hoopa on Reshiram's back,
"Hoopa, you still have two rings you can use, right?"
Hoopa Unbound has six rings.
So it has six summon slots.
But Hoopa Confined only has three summon slots, one of which has already been used on Will.
"That's right! Two scoop-scoops!"
Little Hoopa nodded forcefully.
"Yosh! Since that's the case, we can call for helpers too!"
"Pika pi!"
Ash and Pikachu burned with raging fighting spirit.
Not to mention facing six Legendary Pokémon, even facing thirty, they wouldn't know the meaning of fear!
"But who can we call to handle the current situation?"
"Hehe, don't panic, I've already planned it out."
Will grinned, recalling three candidates in his mind.
As early as when he learned that Rayquaza was a black dragon, he often considered the events of today and made a bunch of plans.
Who the candidates for little Hoopa's three rings would be.
He also had many ideas early on.
The three finally decided upon were:
Rayquaza, Lugia, Ho-Oh.
The strength of Mega Rayquaza naturally needs no further mention; absolutely T0 tier in the Pokémon world.
It played a crucial role in the movie, and is absolutely indispensable in the upcoming battle.
As for choosing Lugia and Ho-Oh, there are other considerations.
In terms of strength, a Complete Forme Zygarde and a fully activated Regigigas are T1 tier. Fighting them, their combat power would definitely be stronger than T4s like Lugia and Ho-Oh.
But.
Their goal is not to fight these Legendary Pokémon.
They even need to avoid head-on clashes as much as possible, pulling the battle into the air to reduce the harm to the buildings in Dahara City and the people who haven't escaped yet.
Under these circumstances.
Heavy-hitting meat shield fighters with low mobility like Zygarde and Regigigas are not very suitable.
The reason for letting Lugia and Ho-Oh replace them.
Has nothing to do with Lugia's good performance in the movie.
It's also not just because both possess the Flying typing, offering stronger mobility while perfectly pairing with Mega Rayquaza's Ability 'Delta Stream' (which eliminates the weaknesses of the Flying type).
Their endurance capabilities must also be considered.
Whether it's Lugia or Ho-Oh, both belong to gods that can take a beating, and the recovery moves they possess are also heaven-defying.
Summoning them to deal with the ones opposite is absolutely the best choice.
There is also a very crucial point.
Lugia and Ho-Oh.
Are both true righteous gods in name and reality.
Facing the Shadow of Hoopa, even without Will needing to speak, they would know what they should do.
But.
Right now, little Hoopa has already used one of the rings on him.
This means only two of the three gods can be summoned.
Mega Rayquaza definitely has to go.
This kind of candidate with both speed and strength is hard to find.
They still have to rely on it to deal with the three Sinnoh gods; those three T1-tier ones are the biggest trouble.
As for Ho-Oh and Lugia...
"Hoopa, summon Rayquaza and Lugia over!"
Will immediately made a decision.
In terms of taking a beating and mobility, of course it has to be Lugia.
Since they only need to stall, and not defeat this group of guys.
Then the priority of strength.
For these latter two can be pushed back a bit.
Anyway, no matter how much gap there is in the strength of major Legendary beasts, it's basically like that.
Although Lugia's Psychic typing cannot cause damage to the Shadow of Hoopa, it can halve the damage the Shadow of Hoopa deals to it.
Moreover.
Psychic-type moves aren't only used for attacking; they are also very good at supporting, especially in the current situation.
"O-ay! Scoop-scoop~"
Hoopa threw the remaining rings out.
The pitch-black dragon and the silvery-white bird instantly flew out of the rings with dumbfounded faces.
Just a second ago.
One was high in the sky and the other was deep in the sea, and the next moment they were summoned over. Could they not be dumbfounded?
Feeling the aura coming from behind them.
Rayquaza and Lugia turned their heads to look behind them simultaneously.
Their expressions changing drastically at the same time.
Having a Mythical beast party and not inviting us bros, huh?
Treating us bros as outsiders?
"Rayquaza, Lugia, follow up!"
Will shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the black and white brothers.
Seeing it was an old acquaintance, Rayquaza didn't dawdle at all, immediately flying over and starting to do the yangko dance (twisting and turning), using Dragon Dance.
Lugia took one look at those few behind, with dark purple eyes, and the one in front being an Aura Guardian. He immediately made a judgment in his heart and hurriedly followed up.
"The situation is like this..."
Will briefly narrated the situation.
Rayquaza and Lugia nodded slightly, both understanding what to do.
They exchanged a glance, a hint of faint light sweeping past their eyes.
It was the first time they fought side by side; they were somewhat expectant, and simultaneously secretly competing, neither wanting to fall behind the other.
"Awesome! Now it's 4 against 7!"
N excitedly clenched his fist.
"Mm."
Will grinned and nodded.
Indeed.
The current situation is at least ten times better than in the movie.
Let alone that Groudon and Kyogre in the movie were both in Primal Reversion form.
The other two rings on Ash's side were used on the two Eon Duo 'little airplanes' (Latias and Latios).
Even though Latios and Latias both achieved Mega Evolution.
But games are games, and reality is reality.
In the games, Mega Evolution allows their base stats to break through from 600 to 700, not only surpassing a bunch of major Legendary beasts but also directly making their panel stats outshine some major Legendary beasts with higher levels than them.
In reality.
Minor Legendary beasts are minor Legendary beasts.
There is an insurmountable huge gap in the 'personal exclusive weapons' that belong to Legendary Pokémon.
Plus the level gap itself is not small; at most they are at the upper-mid Champion level.
It's even more impossible to let the Eon siblings arm-wrestle with this group of Master-level major Legendary beasts relying solely on Mega Evolution.
The two little airplanes could only join this battle relying on their speed advantage, dealing with these powerful Legendary Pokémon to delay time for the Prison Bottle's repair.
Look at it now.
Lugia and Reshiram.
Could the combination of the [Bird of Storms] and the [Dragon of Truth] possibly be worse than the little airplanes?
Moreover.
Although Will didn't bring Blonde-kun along and couldn't achieve Mega Evolution.
But his personal strength is still powerful, completely qualified to join this battle and play an important role.
He probably can't be the carry (main damage dealer).
But he won't be a freeloader (useless teammate) either.
"The time to counterattack has arrived. N, you go to Reshiram's side, Ash, you guys go onto Lugia."
"Got it!" xN
Everyone dispersed.
And Will also took a flying leap onto the top of Rayquaza's head.
At the same time.
Seven Hyper Beams arrived one after another from behind.
"Don't move."
Will's ears twitched slightly, his tail swept, and he said calmly.
"Didn't expect to meet again so soon."
Rayquaza truly trusted him, not even turning its head as it continued to fly forward, even having the time to say a sentence with a smile.
To be able to trust to this extent after only meeting twice is truly rare.
Swish!
Swish!
One incandescent light beam after another shuttled past them, but they turned a blind eye, continuing to chat cheerfully.
"When we meet, it's basically destined that some major event has happened. It's better not to meet. But you, why don't you come down from the sky to play when you have nothing to do?"
Will grinned.
He unobtrusively observed the situation on the other two sides.
Reshiram and Lugia had already started using long-range moves to kite the six gods.
It looked quite strenuous.
After all, there were many opponents, and each possessed unique skills.
"Hmph, forget it. The technology of those humans is too sensitive. If I leave the ozone layer even slightly, a bunch of people follow behind my butt to harass me, endlessly annoying."
Rayquaza snorted impatiently.
"Let's not talk about this for now. That guy has targeted Dahara Tower and is preparing to command the six gods to attack Dahara Tower. We must hurry and stop them!"
Will's anxious voice came over.
"Any ideas?"
Rayquaza's eyes widened.
Quickly moving towards the direction those guys were facing.
Not far away, Reshiram and Lugia also thought of this and hurriedly converged.
"Quite simple actually."
Will pursed his lips, turning his head to look at Lugia,
"Lugia, Rain Dance!"
"Roar!!"
Lugia's roar sounded, its arms giving a shake.
The sky instantly became covered with dark clouds, pouring down extremely heavy rain, with a complimentary turbulent gale.
Between Rain Dances.
There is also a difference.
Even if Will, the King of the Sea, used Rain Dance, it wouldn't have this effect.
"Rayquaza, use Twister to pull the clouds down from the sky, and use Wild Charge along the way."
"Leave it to me."
Rayquaza swished its tail.
Will took the opportunity to leave its body, stepping on the water and standing in the air.
Only to see Rayquaza flashing with electric sparks, diving headfirst into the thick clouds overhead.
The next moment.
A huge tornado cloud that seemed capable of swallowing the entire Dahara Tower descended from the sky, wrapping around Dahara Tower while carrying streaks of cyan electrical currents, forming a natural barrier!
