Chapter 860: Three Supreme Dragons
The spatial wormhole opened.
Kazuya stepped out first.
He immediately released his Aura, perceiving the entire Mauville City.
Mauville City in League Calendar Year 150 was considered a world-renowned metropolis at the time.
Its level of development was comparable to some small and medium-sized towns in League Calendar Year 200.
However, for this scale.
Kazuya's Aura perception could directly cover all of it.
If it were Lucario, who had an innate Aura bonus, he could even perceive an additional thousand meters out.
Seeing that Dialga's figure was nowhere to be found in Mauville City.
Kazuya walked out with peace of mind.
The three Pokémon, Scizor and the others, followed closely behind.
"According to what AZ said, Dialga is in the eastern suburbs of Mauville City. Looking at it this way, if we didn't come, It seemed to be planning to head to Sootopolis City."
The aura appendages on Lucario's body fluttered wildly.
One of his eyes was forever closed; that wound came from a battle over 20 years ago.
The "Legendary Hero" in the history of the Galar region, the box-art first-tier god bearing the title of the "Crowned Sword," Zacian.
Zacian in Its Crowned Sword form was probably ranked in the T3.5 tier among the many first-tier gods.
Stronger than the likes of the Gold and Silver Birds and the Black and White Dragons, but weaker than ordinary Rayquaza and Kyurem.
Logically speaking.
With Lucario's strength.
In a one-on-one situation, Zacian definitely couldn't possibly be his match.
But the situation at that time was one-on-two.
Moreover.
The other one cooperating with Zacian was the other Legendary Hero, the "Crowned Shield," Zamazenta.
Zacian and Zamazenta.
Even if They were corrupted, Their cooperation and synchronization in battle could be called flawless.
But this was also a matter of course.
Zacian and Zamazenta not only once stopped the Darkest Day together, defeating Eternatus.
They were even speculated by countless people to have an "older sister and younger brother" relationship, or at the very least, a fierce rival relationship.
Taken out individually, They could only be considered T3.5.
But fighting side-by-side was like activating a bond, Their strength directly soaring to T2.
Lucario over 20 years ago was only at Lv. 92, his strength roughly matching a T3.5 Legendary Pokémon.
His level couldn't gain any advantage in front of the Crowned Sword and Shield.
At the beginning of the fight, he didn't know enough about these two Pokémon, and being outnumbered, his eye was destroyed by Zacian's sword.
Later, Kazuya tried to use the Power of Creation to heal him.
It wasn't that it couldn't be healed.
It could.
But Lucario refused it himself.
He found that after one of his eyes was closed, his Aura perception actually became stronger.
He even had a sudden whim to poke out his other eye.
In the end, he was stopped by Kazuya and the others.
"Is Shadow forcing us to meet Dialga? Hasn't He always been wary of this? Afraid that Master will obtain the Power of Time and the Draco Plate."
Scizor frowned and voiced his doubts.
He couldn't understand Shadow's actions.
This was a trap.
Anyone could tell.
But Shadow's motive and purpose for doing this were indeed hard to analyze.
They thought it must be the same as before, nothing more than wanting to eliminate the four of them in one fell swoop.
But so far.
They couldn't guess exactly how Shadow planned to do it.
"We can't let Dialga just go over there! AZ and the others are still there, and there are still a few thousand survivors in Sootopolis City!"
Lucario clenched his fists.
Survivors didn't just refer to humans, it also included Pokémon.
The vast majority of those currently surviving in Sootopolis City were Pokémon, with only a very small number being elderly humans.
In Lucario's eyes.
Those were all weaklings.
And protecting the weak is the mission of an Aura Envoy.
"Don't panic, we were aiming for Dialga in the first place, and besides, Dialga's objective is not Sootopolis City."
Kazuya shook his head and reached out to pat Lucario's shoulder.
Mauville City and Sootopolis City.
Were separated by half the Hoenn region's distance.
Not short.
But that depended on who you were talking about.
This distance.
With Kazuya's raw speed.
Activating the Power of Racing Thunder, Extreme Speed, and Agility, he could completely cross it within an hour.
Then for Dialga.
The time It would spend to reach Sootopolis City would only be less.
The Power of Time.
Not only could it be used to reverse the target's time.
It could also be used to advance one's own time, for example, the most basic "acceleration."
These were all abilities Dialga had once displayed in the movies.
The former appeared in the battle of the Sky Bouquet, the recipient being Origin Forme Giratina.
The latter appeared in the Alamos Town Space-Time battle, the recipient being Itself.
Moreover.
These were still just the ordinary Power of Time.
Today's Power of Time of Dialga had been evolved by the Draco Plate.
Considering Kyurem's Glaciate.
Presumably Dialga's Roar of Time also gained some rather abnormal powers.
Controlling the time of non-living things across the whole world.
Might just be one of its effects.
With this kind of Power of Time.
If Dialga's target was Sootopolis City.
It would have dashed far away long ago.
Why would It be slowly wandering around the outskirts of Mauville City now?
This was clearly waiting for them.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look first, you guys don't show yourselves."
Kazuya raised his hand and tore open a spatial wormhole.
He lifted his foot and stepped through.
Arriving at the outskirts of Mauville City in one step.
The deep blue figure in the sky resembling Arceus entered his vision.
It was actually Origin Forme Dialga.
"Did He get the Adamant Crystal for this guy? That guy Shadow must have spent a lot of effort to raise this Dialga."
Kazuya's expression was stern, his brows knitted tightly.
Draco Plate plus Adamant Crystal.
Dialga's strength was already something the current Kazuya couldn't even imagine.
If one were to say.
Altered Forme Dialga was T2.
Then Origin Forme Dialga was T1, having stimulated all the power within Its body, the power truly belonging to one of the Creation Trio.
And fused with the Draco Plate...
That would probably be at the T0.5 level.
T0 is Arceus's avatar in this world.
Shadow's strength was unknown.
If you put aside Shadow and the corrupted Arceus.
Then the current Dialga is probably the most powerful Pokémon in the world, bar none.
Unless Kyurem fused with the Black and White Dragons and evolved into the Original Dragon of Unova, no one could match the current Origin God of Time.
But Shadow hadn't done that yet.
Three dragons.
Were definitely better to handle tasks than one dragon.
The Original Dragon of Unova is strong indeed, but ultimately there is only one, which can only be used for fighting, and often it would lack the numbers to handle multiple situations, making it less useful than commanding three dragons.
Sensing Kazuya's appearance.
The Dialga quietly "spacing out" in the sky lowered Its head.
A crimson gaze fell upon Kazuya.
"Aang-woo~"
Dialga's voice was like an echo from the depths of the universe.
This wasn't a signal for war.
This was a signal to summon.
Dialga was summoning Its accomplices nearby.
"Shadow?"
Kazuya's eyes flickered, his gaze carefully scanning the surroundings.
He was already prepared to flee at any moment.
Directly using the Power of Space might not work.
A single Roar of Time from Dialga, and the spatial wormhole would instantly collapse.
But Teleport was something Dialga couldn't stop.
Kazuya could first use the Power of Racing Thunder and Teleport to run far away, and then wait for an opportunity to open a spatial wormhole and escape.
Because he had this bottom line in his heart.
Kazuya wasn't in a hurry to flee.
Instead, he chose to stay and see what gods Dialga was going to summon.
It was still that saying.
If Shadow was there, or there were too many Demon Gods.
He would just leave directly.
And he would leave bringing his whole family.
Sootopolis City was good, it was the best shelter.
But Sootopolis City wasn't the only place in this world where they could survive.
As long as those two conditions weren't met.
Then Kazuya would risk his life to try and see if he could completely annihilate Dialga.
Whoosh~
A strong gust of wind struck.
The gray fog in the sky swirled, actually curling into countless massive vortexes.
Whoosh~
Another biting cold wind came from the north.
The cold wind howled, mixed with countless ice crystals and snowflakes.
"They're all old friends."
Kazuya's pupils shifted slightly.
Although he hadn't seen the targets yet, he already knew who was coming.
"God of the Sky" Mega Rayquaza.
"God of Freezing" Kyurem.
Plus the "God of Time" Dialga.
They were all gods qualified to compete for the title of the "Strongest Dragon."
Giratina, Palkia, Zygarde, and Eternatus these four also had the qualifications.
But the first two were already dead.
The latter two probably hadn't recovered their strength yet.
The three dragons gathering.
Looked incredibly imposing and full of oppressive presence.
However.
"Is it just the three of you?"
Kazuya pursed his lips, his eyes turning serious.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
He had to admit.
He was deeply tempted.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity.
This opportunity to take down these three dragons in one fell swoop.
Consequently.
Kazuya raised his hand and beckoned.
A spatial wormhole opened behind him.
The figures of the three Pokémon, Scizor and the others, appeared.
Lucario immediately perceived all directions after appearing, then nodded at Kazuya.
Now Kazuya was even more tempted.
Even though Dialga's strength was unknown, Kazuya was still very confident.
Admittedly.
After Kazuya's Dark Void evolved, the direct improvement to his combat power was almost non-existent.
But the "Devour" effect brought him a massive amount of divine power.
If Dialga and Kyurem's divine powers were both taking the path of "qualitative evolution."
Then Kazuya's side was taking the path of "quantitative evolution."
As for Mega Rayquaza?
It didn't have the Sky Plate on It, and Its move Dragon Ascent hadn't evolved.
Having fought for so many years.
They were still clear about this point.
Mega Rayquaza could be at this table right now purely because Its raw strength was strong enough, a solid T1 level.
"It's not impossible to give it a try," Mewtwo muttered, also itching for action.
Scizor and Lucario beside Him had burning gazes, their opinions crystal clear.
"Since everyone has the same thought, then there's nothing more to say. Leave that guy Dialga to me."
Kazuya nodded, but still exhorted them with a sentence, "Make sure to be careful, these three are not necessarily our match, Shadow definitely knows this point, but He still arranged it like this, there must be a scheme. Be ready to gather towards me and escape at any time."
