The black Rayquaza's majestic dragon eyes looked down from above. Its massive dragon pressure poured out. It was heavy on the whole area.
"Father!"
The regular Rayquaza saw the black Rayquaza. It had been playing dead quietly. Now it finally flew up again.
It was happy. It thought its father was here. It was very glad.
The black Rayquaza looked at the regular Rayquaza. It saw the frost burns on its body. The black dragon narrowed its eyes. It stared at the regular Rayquaza and said nothing.
The regular Rayquaza looked at its father's dangerous gaze. It swallowed hard. Its scales felt strange because it was scared.
It felt like things were bad.
"A space bug and a creature of unknown origin."
The black Rayquaza turned its head to look at Dark Mewtwo and Deoxys. A low voice spoke in the regular Rayquaza's ears.
The black Rayquaza was not happy with its son.
It was a Rayquaza. It could not beat these two? It had to call for help?
"Father, I think I can explain," the regular Rayquaza said. Its skin felt strange. It forced itself to talk.
"If they hadn't been so despicable and ganged up on me two-on-one, I definitely wouldn't be afraid of them!"
The regular Rayquaza felt it had a good reason. If it was one-on-one, it would not have lost.
"If I could Mega Evolve..."
The regular Rayquaza was very upset. If it could Mega Evolve, it would not lose to them.
"You can't Mega Evolve, and you want to blame someone else?" The black Rayquaza was even more unhappy. Its voice was angry. The regular Rayquaza moved back quickly.
"You are already two thousand years old. Do you think you are still a hatchling? You still haven't even learned Dragon Ascent!"
The black Rayquaza lectured it. The regular Rayquaza hid its head like an ostrich.
"When you were tricked by humans back then, why didn't you ask us for help? It was because you thought you could handle it. And then? Your successor died in battle right in front of your eyes."
"Today, you can't beat these two bugs. Does that mean next time that lizard and that fish wake up, you're going to lose to them too?"
The black Rayquaza felt disappointed. Its family had ruled the sky for three hundred million years.
Groudon and Kyogre fought in the past. The Rayquaza family stopped them. This made them the masters of the sky, land, and sea.
Humans built the Sky Pillar and the Buried Tower. They wanted to worship them. They gave them places to sleep.
When the young Rayquaza was born, it stayed to watch this region.
The black Rayquaza went to other regions. The mother Rayquaza traveled outside the planet.
The black Rayquaza was frustrated. Its own child could not protect its successor. The human died in front of the regular Rayquaza.
The black Rayquaza almost hit it with its tail back then. It was lucky that its temper was okay.
"..." The regular Rayquaza could not lift its head. It was being lectured hard.
"Think about it yourself. If your mother finds out about this, you're on your own."
The regular Rayquaza felt scared of its mother. Its father was angry, but he would not hit it.
But if its mother knew, she might hit it very hard. She might even start over and raise a new baby.
The black Rayquaza felt sad in its heart. Its child was disappointing, but it was still its child.
The black Rayquaza's eyes became cold and majestic. Its power spread out. Its black body moved forward.
A space bug and a black Pokémon were bullying its son. It did not recognize the black one.
"Hmm?"
The black Rayquaza felt confused. It turned its head to look at a tall building far away.
It could see a man in white clothes and black pants.
This human had a blessing from nature. That was special and not bad.
But that was not the most important thing.
That big fish was with him. Would that fish really follow a human?
The black Rayquaza was interested. It knew the power of Groudon and Kyogre.
But it remembered that Kyogre and Groudon were very crazy.
They fought all day for natural energy. They fought every time they woke up. It thought they were sick in the head.
Also, Groudon and Kyogre did not care about humans. They did not attack them, but they did not like them either.
It was very rare for Kyogre to be with a human. Did it learn something new?
But the truth was different.
"Where is this? Wasn't I in the water? Why is the scent of Rayquaza so strong here???"
A confused voice spoke in Damian's ear. It did not sound like a man or a woman.
"Wait, wait, wait! This is the aura of that black-skinned one! Damn it! Is Rayquaza attacking?!!"
Soon, the voice sounded very scared.
"Yo~ Kyogre. Good morning. You're finally awake."
Damian's eyes were bright. He took out Kyogre's Poké Ball. He smiled as the ball shook.
"Human?! Damn it! Human, what did you do?!!"
The big fish was furious. The Poké Ball shook violently. An angry voice spoke in Damian's mind
It was hard to believe.
It was sleeping well in its pool. It was having a good dream. Then it smelled Rayquaza. It was shocked and woke up.
It thought this human was very bad for doing this.
"The water in that pool was about to turn into sludge from you soaking in it. I'm giving you a change of scenery for your sleep."
Damian felt the fish was angry because it just woke up.
The fish did not even dare to come out. It was funny.
It could break out of the Poké Ball anytime. But it stayed inside and yelled at him.
"Who gave you permission to do that! Human, I won't forgive you!" Kyogre was very angry.
"Now! Quickly! Immediately! Take me away from here right now!"
"I'm afraid I must refuse. The Poké Ball can't restrict you anyway. Just come out and walk back yourself." Damian said no immediately.
"You!" Kyogre was very angry.
"You human! You brought me out here, so take some responsibility, you jerk! You have to send me back!"
"Sorry, I'm busy fighting Rayquaza over here. I can't leave."
Damian thought the big fish was a little cute.
"I say, Kyogre, are you afraid of Rayquaza?" Damian tried to make the Pokémon angry to get what he wanted.
"Hah~" Kyogre laughed coldly and did not answer.
The Poké Ball stopped shaking. It seemed calm again.
"I've heard many of your stories. Every time you and Groudon fight to a draw, Rayquaza appears and defeats you both."
"Looking at it that way, it's not very strange that you're afraid of Rayquaza."
Damian spoke like he just understood why it was scared.
"Heh heh..." The big fish laughed coldly two times. It was very annoyed.
"If I hadn't used up too much power fighting that smelly lizard, how could Rayquaza have defeated me?"
Kyogre finally answered because it was stubborn.
"Oh? I find that hard to believe. Does it happen every time?"
"Of course!"
"Then who is stronger between you and Rayquaza?"
"Rayquaza, of course."
Kyogre did not fall for the trick. It answered honestly and was not embarrassed.
"Tsk~ I thought you would say you were more powerful than Rayquaza." Damian clicked his tongue.
"Tiny human, you simply don't understand Rayquaza's power," Kyogre said. It was obvious to the fish.
"Is that the reason you don't even dare to come out and face Rayquaza?"
"Hah~ I haven't done anything this time. Why should I go out and get beaten up? Rayquaza is the thing I hate second-most."
The big fish was very direct.
If it were fighting Groudon and hurting the land, it would understand Rayquaza stopping them.
But it had done nothing this time.
It was supposed to be sleeping in its home. It was only here because it could feel Rayquaza's power.
It wanted to be in the seawater and have a good dream.
It was very shocked to wake up and smell Rayquaza.
"And human, you dare to fight that coal-colored ugly freak Rayquaza? I'll enjoy watching you die."
Kyogre wanted to watch Damian lose.
It could feel that this human was special. He had a strong Pokémon, though Kyogre did not know what it was.
But it did not matter. That black Rayquaza was very strong.
"Oh? Kyogre, are you sure you don't want to come out and help?"
"Don't even think about it." Kyogre did not care.
If the fight were against Groudon, Kyogre would have come out already.
But fighting the black Rayquaza? It did not want to do that.
Damian moved the Poké Ball in his hand.
Kyogre did not want to fight the black Rayquaza. That made sense. It could not beat a normal Mega Rayquaza. It would not fight this stronger black one.
Kyogre was smart. It did not want to lose a fight.
It did not want to get hit.
Also, Kyogre thought Damian would lose. And Damian really could not win.
Dark Mewtwo could not Mega Evolve yet. Deoxys and Lunala were not enough. They could not fight the black Rayquaza directly.
Another helper was coming. But without Primal Kyogre, it would not be enough.
But Damian had a plan to make Kyogre join.
"Rayquaza!"
Damian looked at the black Rayquaza. The black Rayquaza looked at him too.
"?"
The black Rayquaza wondered why the human called it. Did he want to stop fighting?
The black Rayquaza felt Damian's power on Dark Mewtwo. It knew it was his Pokémon.
"Kyogre said that your black skin makes you look like a piece of coal! He said you are ugly as hell!"
Damian held the Poké Ball and yelled very loudly.
"???"
The black Rayquaza stopped moving. Its eyes narrowed. It became dangerous.
The air felt heavy.
The regular Rayquaza moved back. It did not want Kyogre's blood to hit it.
"HUMAN!!!!"
Kyogre yelled in Damian's mind.
It thought this human was terrible.

Note: I know a lot of people don't like it when Pokémon "talk" or things like that, but I'm doing it this way so it's clear that, with Damian's power, they can communicate and he can understand them. No one else can—only Damian understands what they're saying—and that's what I want to show. So if it doesn't bother you, let me know in the comments, and if it does bother you, tell me in the comments too.
