Ambushing Cosmog from the Start

Chapter 26: Mega Rayquaza

In an instant, Deoxys’ body was violently hurled out of Earth’s atmosphere.

But at that very moment, Rayquaza and Kyurem seized the opportunity while Necrozma was distracted—launching a ferocious assault!

A Hyper Beam and an Absolute Zero blasted toward Necrozma from opposite directions.

Under Chen Nian’s command, Necrozma barely managed to raise a Protect barrier, but the sheer force of the explosions still sent it flying backward, skidding across the battlefield.

Rayquaza shot into the sky, coiling through the storm clouds. Lightning crackled as a monstrous tornado, infused with thunder, descended from the heavens.

The tornado’s fury uprooted trees in the nearby town and demolished buildings, swallowing everything in its path.

Meanwhile, Kyurem roared in fury.

A wave of white frost spread beneath its feet, freezing the landscape solid—even as Rayquaza’s tornado raged on.

“So now they’re teaming up against me?”

Chen Nian, weakened, leaned against a boulder for support.

At this moment, his vision seemed to merge with Necrozma’s—their minds syncing even deeper.

Then, he gave the next order:

“Necrozma—Psychic!!”

An invisible psychic wave erupted from Necrozma, exploding outward in a devastating shockwave.

Rayquaza and Kyurem’s attacks shattered under the force.

“Now, gain altitude! Put distance between you and Kyurem—then hit it with Hyper Beam!”

Necrozma teleported directly above Kyurem, its prismatic wings flaring. Golden energy surged in its maw—

BOOM!!

A blinding beam of destruction slammed into White Kyurem, blasting it into the ground with earth-shaking force.

Even in its enhanced form, Kyurem winced—Necrozma’s full-power strike had drawn blood.

But as Necrozma’s fighting spirit burned brighter, Rayquaza responded with a deafening roar.

It twisted through the storm clouds, its body arching like a drawn bow—

Then, emerald energy erupted from its core.

Chen Nian’s stomach dropped.

“Rayquaza’s going all out!”

“Goddammit, is it really Mega Evolving now?! I already got rid of Deoxys!”

“Are they all insane?!”

Mega Rayquaza’s aura dwarfed its previous power.

Chen Nian’s face darkened.

“I can’t hold on much longer… but Rayquaza’s only getting stronger.”

Should he sever the psychic link? Let Necrozma revert from its Ultra form?

But if he did, Kyurem would immediately rejoin the fight.

“If only Cosmoem hadn’t regressed… I’d wipe the floor with these arrogant bastards.”

Chen Nian wasn’t the only one panicking.

White Kyurem, struggling to rise from the crater, felt genuine dread.

“Necrozma’s already a nightmare—and now Rayquaza’s lost its damn mind!”

“If this keeps up, my territory will be reduced to rubble!”

Would it really have to find a new home?

When Rayquaza returned to the battlefield, its form had completely transformed.

Its emerald scales gleamed like jewels, its forehead now marked with a Delta symbol.

Twin golden tendrils flowed from its jaws and horns like celestial ribbons.

And its updated stats flashed in Chen Nian’s mind:

Mega Rayquaza

Level: 118

Gender: Male

Rank: Mythical Beast

Type: Dragon / Flying

Ability: Delta Stream

Moves: Twister, Air Slash, Extreme Speed, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Dance, Hyper Beam, Dragon Ascent…

The moment Mega Rayquaza completed its evolution, chaotic air currents engulfed the battlefield.

Chen Nian knew—Delta Stream had activated.

Under this primordial sky, Rayquaza’s Flying-type weaknesses vanished.

Its true power was even greater than the numbers suggested.

Witnessing an already godlike Rayquaza evolve again, observers worldwide, scientists, trainers, officials, stared in utter disbelief.

Pokémon researchers nearly climbed into their TV screens, desperate to understand:

“What kind of monster is this?!”
