I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon

Chapter 1179: N And Reshiram

But Reshiram didn\'t have time to react and was forced to withstand the cloned Rayquaza\'s attack unprepared, nearly tossing the green-haired youth from its back.

The Rayquaza\'s assault didn\'t end there. After the first attack didn\'t achieve the desired effect, the two Rayquaza twisted their bodies and flew up into the sky, each launching another Hyper Beam at Zekrom and Reshiram.

After last night\'s battle, Zekrom had no desire to fight the two Rayquaza again. It knew it couldn\'t take on both Rayquaza alone, unless it joined forces with Reshiram—but that was clearly out of the question.

Thus, Zekrom began contemplating a retreat.

Reshiram, on the other hand, had never battled Rayquaza before, and immediately began a counterattack, unleashing searing flames from its body in an attempt to burn Rayquaza to ashes.

The commotion of the legendary Pokémon battle was so great that it soon attracted the attention of the Pokémon Rangers in Petalburg Woods. The sudden appearance of two Rayquaza, as well as the presence of two Dragon-type Legendary Pokémon that was likely come from Unova Region, meant they had to proceed it with caution.

Meanwhile, aboard an aircraft hidden in the clouds above, Ghetsis was furiously questioning his subordinates, "What\'s going on? Why did you attract the attention of Rayquaza? How could you be so careless?!"

Before coming to Hoenn, Colress had warned them to avoid catching the attention of Rayquaza while carrying Reshiram. Otherwise, leaving Hoenn would be no easy task.

One of the subordinates nervously explained, "We were extremely careful; there\'s no way we should have disturbed Rayquaza. It must be because of Zekrom."

Ghetsis sneered coldly, "Then why are you just standing there? Go help N and Reshiram! Don\'t just sit around!"

"Y-yes, sir..." The subordinate stammered as he left.

After the subordinate had left, Ghetsis frowned, watching the screen before him, which was showing the battle between Rayquaza, Zekrom, and Reshiram. After a while, he turned around to a shadowy corner beside him and ordered, "Shadow, go retrieve N." Originally, he\'d planned to capture Zekrom, but now it seemed impossible.

"Yes, sir!" Three white-haired men dressed in ninja attire appeared in the corner, responding to Ghetsis before disappearing again.

Back at the power plant, Yuga, who was still investigating the mysterious power outage, suddenly received a call.

"Rayquaza? In Petalburg Woods? Got it, I\'m on my way now."

Just like Yuga, Roxanne, the Gym Leader of Rustboro City, and Mr. Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, also received the calls.

The appearance of Rayquaza and the Unova twin dragons in Petalburg Woods was reported by the Pokémon Rangers, so as the Gym Leaders of the three largest city and town surrounding the Petalburg Woods, Yuga, Mr. Norman, and Roxanne needed to head to the scene as quickly as possible to help the Pokémon Rangers to manage the situation.

All of the three Gym Leaders were now speeding towards the location on their respective flying Pokémon.

Yuga was riding Dragonite in a hurry, and his figure caught the attention of Damon, who had just arrived at the power plant. Without hesitation, Damon summoned a Hydreigon and rode it to follow Yuga.

Meanwhile, the Rayquaza duo\'s assault on the intruders grew fiercer, especially towards Reshiram, who was fighting back.

Seated on Reshiram\'s back, N initially tried to persuade Reshiram to retreat. Given the current situation, it was clear that fighting separately made neither them nor Zekrom a match for the two Rayquaza who cooperated seamlessly. Retreat was the only best option.

But Reshiram who are now fully engaged in the fight, refused to listen to N and continued its fierce battle against the Rayquaza.

It had to be said, Fire-type Pokémon were indeed quicker to get heated up than other Pokémon.

With Reshiram absorbing most of the attack, Zekrom, already intent on retreating, had no intention of contributing to the battle. It had no plans to assist Reshiram and was even eyeing opportunities to slip away.

The two Rayquaza circled around Reshiram, and the black Rayquaza\'s tail swiped through Reshiram\'s Blue Flare, scattering it. At the same time, the cloned Rayquaza unleashed a Dragon Pulse aimed directly at Reshiram.

Just as the Dragon Pulse was about to hit Reshiram, a Dark Pulse and a Fire Blast suddenly shot out from nowhere, intercepting the attack.

The black Rayquaza looked up to see a Hydreigon on Reshiram\'s left and a Volcarona on its right.

These were the reinforcements Ghetsis had sent to assist N.

The black Rayquaza was furious. How dare these insignificant pests interfere in its battle with the intruders?

"Roar!!"

"Roar!!"

The black Rayquaza let out a long howl toward the cloned Rayquaza, and the cloned Rayquaza responded in kind. The two Rayquaza twisted in mid-air, and as a rainbow-colored light flashed, they both used Dragon Ascent and completing their Mega Evolution.

Since absorbing the power of the giant meteorite, the two Rayquaza had discovered that they had gained the new skill Dragon Ascent and they also could control their Mega Evolution at will.

Inside the aircraft, Ghetsis watched this in disbelief, his eyes widening: What\'s going on? What did I just see? Did Rayquaza just evolve?

The fact that Rayquaza could Mega Evolve was a secret known only to the upper ranks of the Draconid People and a few top-ranking members of the League, including Yuga. Ghetsis, a Unovan, had no way of knowing.

Ghetsis immediately sent the footage to Colress, who was far away in Unova.

Colress, the most brilliant scientist in Team Plasma, had played an indispensable role in advancing Team Plasma to its current status.

After watching the footage of the two Rayquaza\'s Mega Evolution, an inexplicable gleam shone from Colress\'s transparent lenses.

With their Mega Evolution complete, the two Rayquaza grew even more imposing. They each launched a Hyper Beam from their mouths, instantly blasting Hydreigon and Volcarona out of the sky.

N, who had the ability to communicate with Pokémon\'s hearts, tried to speak with the two Rayquaza, wanting to assure them that he and Reshiram meant no harm, but Rayquaza was unyielding, completely ignoring him.

After defeating Hydreigon and Volcarona, the two Mega Rayquaza simultaneously used Extreme Speed to strike Reshiram, who was surrounded and had no chance to evade.

Boom!

An explosion erupted in the sky, and N could no longer maintain his balance on Reshiram\'s back, falling straight down.

Just as N was about to hit the ground, an Accelgor shot out from the forest and caught him, landing him safely on the ground.

"Master N, are you all right?"

At that moment, three dark figures suddenly appeared before N. They knelt with their heads lowered and asked after him.

"I\'m fine. Thank you."

N recognized these three—they were his father Ghetsis\'s trusted subordinates. Though they were three individuals, all three of them were called "Shadow," acting as high-ranking officials within Team Plasma with the code name "Shadow Triad."

"Master N, please leave with Reshiram at once. Master Ghetsis is concerned something might go wrong," one of the Shadow Triad said.

"I understand." N looked up at the intense battle still raging between Reshiram and Rayquaza in the sky, his brows furrowing.

From a distance, Yuga, riding Dragonite, spotted Reshiram battling the two Rayquaza and also noticed Zekrom, who wanted to leave but couldn\'t.

After the two Rayquaza\'s Mega Evolution, Zekrom\'s plan to escape had been completely thwarted.

Following closely behind Yuga, Damon also saw the same scene. He hadn\'t expected Reshiram to come to Hoenn as well, which meant that Team Plasma had arrived too.

Back when he discovered Zekrom in the underground maze of Eindoak Town, Team Plasma had followed the trail and stolen Reshiram, which was also sleeping in the maze. This event had filled him with regret ever since.

Yuga was planning to urge Dragonite to fly directly toward the battle between Rayquaza and the twin dragons of Unova when he looked down and saw N talking to the Shadow Triad.

"N\'s here too?" Yuga couldn\'t recall most of the scenes from the show, but he remembered N, and he knew that N had a deep connection to Team Plasma.

The members of the Shadow Triad immediately noticed Yuga\'s presence. In a flash, the three of them vanished from sight.

Seeing how sneaky the trio was, Yuga instantly guessed that they were likely with Team Plasma. Dragonite unleashed three bolts of lightning, striking three trees directly.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The three trees shattered into splinters, and three figures quickly darted out from the treetops. As they were about to escape with N, a vine suddenly appeared out of nowhere, wrapping around N\'s waist and lifting him into the air.

It turned out that Florges had somehow made her way onto Dragonite\'s back, and she was now standing behind Yuga, hands resting on his shoulders, with vines from her body holding N aloft.

N held a very unique position within Team Plasma, and since Yuga had encountered him, he certainly wouldn\'t allow Team Plasma to take him away right under his nose.

Seeing that Yuga was the one intercepting them, the Shadow Triad abandoned their attempt to rescue N and disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, Roxanne and Mr. Norman had arrived at the battle site between Rayquaza and the Unovan Legendary Dragons before Yuga. Noticing Rayquaza\'s relentless pursuit of Reshiram and Zekrom, they immediately stepped in, hoping to put a stop to it.

They didn\'t know that Reshiram was linked to Team Plasma, the dark organization from Unova, so they showed no favoritism toward any of the legendary Pokémon, wanting only to end the battle as quickly as possible.

But the battle between the legendary Pokémon was so intense that Roxanne and Mr. Norman could hardly influence it, especially Roxanne, whose Probopass was knocked out by a single swipe of Rayquaza\'s Dragon Tail, struggling to recover for quite some time.

The appearance of Mr. Norman and Roxanne heightened Ghetsis\'s anxiety.

"Useless fools! Why aren\'t they back yet!" he shouted, slamming his hand on the table in front of him.

At last, Reshiram, overwhelmed by the two Rayquaza, was struck by a dual Hyper Beam, reverting to a white stone as it fell to the ground, entering a deep slumber.

As soon as the white stone hit the ground, a masked figure in a black uniform attempted to take it away with an Accelgor, only to be blocked by a Reuniclus.

The Reuniclus belonged to Damon, who glared at the Team Plasma member in front of him, seething with rage. That stone belonged to Eindoak Town.

While Damon fought the Team Plasma member, Florges had already retrieved the white stone and handed it over to Yuga.

In fact, Yuga had already noticed Damon following him; he was simply curious to see what Damon intended to do.

Yuga touched the slightly warm white stone in his hand, thinking, Is this the slumbering Reshiram?

After the Shadow Triad returned to the aircraft, they reported to Ghetsis, saying, "Shimizu Yuga from Verdanturf Town has arrived, and Master N has been taken away by him."

Ghetsis remained silent for a long time upon hearing this. Thinking of Reshiram, which they hadn\'t yet retrieved, he gritted his teeth and said, "We\'re leaving." This time, they had truly lost more than they gained—Zekrom was out of their reach, and now Reshiram and N were lost as well.

Although N was merely a puppet he had trained, he currently played a crucial role. Without N, they had no way to control Reshiram.

With this in mind, Ghetsis resolved to quickly locate Kyurem and the DNA Splicers. Relying on N alone was not going to be enough. With Kyurem and the DNA Splicers, N would no longer be necessary.

Team Plasma\'s aircraft, concealed high in the sky using bio-invisibility technology, departed undetected by Yuga and the others.

With the white stone of Reshiram in hand, Yuga once again mounted Dragonite and flew into the sky. At that moment, the two Rayquaza were aggressively surrounding Zekrom.

Without Reshiram to draw their attention, Zekrom had become the sole target of the Rayquaza.

Noticing Yuga\'s sudden appearance, the attacking Rayquaza paused for a moment, thinking, What the heck, why is this kid here? Nothing good ever happens when he shows up!

The pressure felt by Roxanne and Mr. Norman lessened as they saw Yuga arrive, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. norman thought, How disgraceful. Relying on a junior like this—I must be getting old!

"Rayquaza, could you give me a favor and hold off for now?" Yuga called out loudly to the Rayquaza.

Hearing Yuga\'s request, both Rayquaza actually stopped, though they looked at Yuga with unfriendly eyes, as if saying, What do you want?

"There\'s no need to be so hot-tempered," Yuga said as he flew up to them on Dragonite. "You always seem to resolve issues with fighting, but sometimes communication is important too."

"Get to the point or shut up!" Rayquaza growled impatiently.

"How about you let us handle Zekrom? The League will take care of everything."

Rayquaza glanced at the slightly battered Zekrom and, after a few seconds of hesitation, released its Mega Evolution form, signaling its agreement to Yuga\'s proposal. As a legendary Pokémon aligned with order, it still had some level of trust in the human League.

If it had been anyone else persuading it, Rayquaza likely wouldn\'t have given in so easily. But with Yuga... Rayquaza would never admit that it harbored a bit of a mental shadow from Yuga.

Recalling how Yuga once held a bottle beneath it to collect its dragon blood, Rayquaza couldn\'t help but think that this kid was somewhat ruthless.

Following Rayquaza\'s lead, the cloned Rayquaza also deactivated its Mega Evolution.

At this point, Damon, who had finished off the Team Plasma member, approached Zekrom. He spent some time calming Zekrom and then looked at Yuga, who was negotiating with Rayquaza, unsure of what to do next.
