Chapter 675: The Three Siblings vs The Three Gods
Unfortunately.
Seventy years of exploring outside.
They didn't find anything of particular value.
No.
That couldn't be said.
This conclusion only applied to material things.
This increasingly better relationship, the memories they made together, were absolutely priceless...
They imitated Rayquaza and gnawed on meteorites.
Except for Regigigas, who had no mouth and couldn't eat, and Groudon, who could digest rocks.
The other Pokémon all threw up.
They imitated Groudon and soaked in magma.
Except for Kazuya and his brother who found it very comfortable, Florges wasn't that silly.
The other three gods almost boiled their skin off.
Occasionally, Groudon and Kyogre would bring up deciding who the team captain was.
Then his brother and the two of them would fight fiercely. His brother fought for his older brother, while the two idiots fought for themselves.
Rayquaza would occasionally step in and play along.
The other three Pokémon would just watch them fight, only intervening to stop it at the end.
In the end.
It was never decided who the captain of Team Black Dragon was.
There were many things worth remembering.
Everyone gathered together.
Long ago forgetting the loneliness they once felt.
With this bond, these seventy years weren't spent in vain.
Even Kazuya couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
Perhaps.
Getting along with these Pokémon who also had infinite lifespans was the correct path he was originally meant to take.
At least he wouldn't have to endure the pain of parting.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
Kazuya didn't regret forming bonds with humans, nor would he stop on the path he had already decided on.
On this day.
Near the coast of the grassland, a massive number of Dragon Clan members gathered here. Even the surrounding sea surface was full of marine dragon species.
Except for those Pokémon located in the southern hemisphere, too far away.
The major tribes Kazuya was familiar with were basically all here.
Even the Tyrantrum, surprisingly, stood here in high spirits.
After all.
Today was a special day.
The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Dragon Clan.
But in fact, the vast majority of Pokémon had no concept of time, let alone care about which year it was since the Dragon Clan was founded.
There was only one reason for them to gather here.
Kazuya planned to have an exhibition match on this memorable day.
The participants of the battle were, of course, Team Black Dragon.
Regigigas would not participate in the battle; he would stand on the coast to prevent the aftermath of the battle from affecting the Dragon Clan members.
Actually.
Regarding the strength within Team Black Dragon.
At least the seven Pokémon in the team knew it in their hearts.
Kazuya and Rayquaza.
These two black dragons were the strongest in Team Black Dragon.
The first tier, undisputed.
Initially, Kazuya could completely crush Rayquaza, even though his base stats were lower than Rayquaza's in all aspects.
But as Kazuya imparted all his knowledge to Rayquaza.
Rayquaza no longer just mindlessly threw out skills like before. He started to think about tactics, combos, type advantages, and ability utilization...
His combat power gradually caught up.
Until now.
Neither side could say for sure who was stronger.
After all, they hadn't fought each other for decades.
Next was Regigigas.
After so many years of tempering, Iron Pillar was not to be underestimated.
Are you afraid of a Regigigas who knows martial arts?
Even Arceus would have to take a combo of punches before leaving.
Then there were the two idiots.
The two idiots standing in this position was purely due to stat suppression.
They had no talent for learning moves, couldn't listen to theory, and easily lost their minds when fighting, reverting to their old ways.
Finally, there was his brother and Florges.
Although these two were ranked at the bottom, it was because the Team Black Dragon they were in was extraordinary.
If placed in the whole world, placed in the League Era.
They were 'gods'.
With his brother and Florges now having stepped into the Master level, they already had the qualifications to spar with some of the lower-tier primary Legendaries.
Like Zekrom and Reshiram, the ordinary forms of the two idiots, the Slow Start Regigigas...
Fighting these gods.
His brother and Florges still had the strength for it.
Of course.
These things.
Team Black Dragon knew internally.
The Dragon Clan members didn't know.
Even.
The vast majority of Dragon Clan members thought the second and third in command were stronger than the ancient three gods.
But it was also because they didn't know.
That everyone gathered here, wanting to see what was what.
The Tyrantrum was a bit special.
He had privately challenged every member of Team Black Dragon multiple times.
Thirty years ago.
His brother and Florges were still not his match.
But now.
His brother and Florges could fight him to a standstill, evenly matched.
As for the other four members of Team Black Dragon...
He had never won.
Since this competition was an exhibition match, meant for Team Black Dragon to vent some excess energy internally.
So the two sides didn't do any power balancing and just formed groups casually.
The three Dragon Clan siblings vs The three Land, Sea, and Sky Gods.
The ancient three gods had long looked forward to this battle.
Or rather...
The three of them had long wanted to fight Kazuya again.
In these seventy years.
Kazuya had really taken action too few times.
Thinking about being able to fight again.
The three of them eagerly rushed to the distant sea surface and enlarged their bodies to a hundred-meter scale.
"I'll deal with Kazuya, you two..."
Rayquaza glanced at the two idiots on either side.
"Roar?"
Get out of here, what strength do you have? You think you can deal with him...
Groudon stepped on the ocean, generating patches of black earth beneath his feet.
"Ooom."
Only I can deal with him.
Kyogre didn't bother talking to the two of them.
The three siblings in the distance watched the three heads bump together, not even needing to think carefully to know what happened.
The battle hasn't even started yet.
The other side is about to have a civil war.
"I'll handle the one flying in the sky. Florges deals with the one swimming in the sea, and brother deals with the one walking on the ground."
Kazuya waved his hand casually.
He didn't change his size, maintaining his ten-meter scale as he walked out.
"Flor."
"Roar."
Florges and Charizard followed closely behind, their expressions very serious.
They were very clear about the strength gap between themselves and the two idiots.
So even if it was just sparring, they didn't dare to underestimate their opponents.
Walking out of the grass.
Streams of water automatically flowed out from the ocean.
Gathering under Kazuya's feet to form an ocean path.
Florges and his brother walked behind Kazuya on both sides, stepping onto this ocean path with somewhat strange expressions.
Their older brother.
Looked more like a Sea God than Kyogre.
Yet he was a fire user.
The movements of the three siblings looked very slow, but in fact, their speed was already so fast that ordinary Pokémon couldn't see them with the naked eye.
One second they had just walked out of the grassland.
The next second they had already appeared behind the three gods.
"Hey."
Kazuya called out.
Watching these three big guys turn around in unison.
Kazuya smiled and beckoned:
"It's about time to start."
"Hmph, let's go."
Rayquaza grinned and lifted his chin.
The next moment.
The two black dragons shot straight into the sky simultaneously.
"Roar?!"
"Ooom?!"
Groudon and Kyogre widened their eyes, looking up as if thinking about how to catch up.
The latter reacted first.
He floated up from the sea riding on water vapor, letting rings of water currents wrap around his body.
It seemed he was planning to use Liquidation to crash into the two in the sky.
Unfortunately.
Vines wrapped around his body before the water currents did.
"Ooom?"
Sensing something wrong, Kyogre looked down.
At some point, the sea surface had been covered by a layer of black flowers!
Florges stood on the flowers, giving him a gentle smile, and then pressed down with her hand.
Boom!
Kyogre was immediately yanked down and thrown into the sea.
Next door.
Groudon couldn't fly and couldn't catch up.
But he could shoot down the two in the sky!
The lines on his body began to constantly flow out lava, seemingly preparing to fire an Eruption.
But before the energy had accumulated enough.
His brother had already kicked him in the waist and abdomen.
Rumble~
The sound of churning earth echoed within Groudon.
He was kicked by his brother and flew sideways for dozens of meters, rolling on the sea surface before standing up, turning to look at his brother in the air.
At the same time.
Kyogre also popped his head out of the sea, staring faintly at the usually gentle and kind Florges in the team.
This time.
The matchups were successful.
Their respective battles began one after another.
When the battle below officially started.
The two black dragons in the air had already exchanged several blows.
When Rayquaza swung an Extreme Speed Earthquake towards Kazuya, the latter suddenly disappeared into thin air.
"Tch, this disgusting move again!"
Rayquaza's face darkened, and he turned to look elsewhere.
After so many years.
Rayquaza still hadn't figured out Kazuya's style—his style of using Teleport.
Whoosh~
The sound of wind came from above.
Rayquaza's eyes sharpened, and he looked up and crashed towards it.
Iron Head.
Swoosh!
He missed.
There was nothing there!
"I'm below."
As Kazuya's voice sounded, an Ice Punch followed closely.
Bang!
Rayquaza's abdomen took a heavy blow, and cold sweat broke out from the pain.
He twisted his body, quickly retreating from the spot, took a few deep breaths, and turned to look at Kazuya.
Kazuya grinned at him, casually rotating his wrists.
It had to be said.
In these seventy years.
Rayquaza's fighting style had become more and more like his own.
When fighting, he knew how to use Extreme Speed to enhance the power of his moves, he knew how to use type-advantage moves to attack his target, and he even knew how to observe his target's fighting habits and use his other five senses.
This was the reason why Rayquaza's combat power had increased rapidly, and even surpassed him.
This was normal.
After all, Rayquaza's base stats crushed his in all aspects.
When the areas where he was inferior gradually caught up.
His combat power naturally surpassed Kazuya's.
On the contrary, Kazuya.
His level increase had been very slow over these years. Seventy years to increase by three levels, and even now his level was only Lv. 93.
But he wasn't special.
It was said that Rayquaza and the others might not have increased their levels for tens of millions of years.
Kazuya's speed of improvement.
In the eyes of Rayquaza and the others, was already at an abnormal level.
And his brother, Florges, and the Tyrantrum, after reaching Lv. 90, had not moved at all until now, their levels not increasing in the slightest.
At this point.
If they wanted to increase their combat power again.
They could no longer rely on leveling up.
They had to look in other directions.
Like Kazuya.
His development in the field of Psychic powers.
Was far beyond what it used to be.
Just like right now.
"I'll say it again, I don't recommend you rely too much on one specific move, especially in the current situation, Dragon Ascent is definitely not a good choice."
Kazuya smiled, suddenly speaking up.
"..."
Rayquaza's face changed drastically.
He was mind-read!
