Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 743 The Human Heart Has No Limits (55) (Tomorrow 9 will end the main story)
Under the huge clouds that covered the entire area, it was difficult to tell the difference between day and night.

Even the legendary divine Pokémon has physical and mental limitations, and is not able to fight completely uninterrupted.

However, for Kyoka, this recovery is quite different from the habitual recovery nine years ago.

On weekdays, after waking up, it either vents its excess energy alone and automatically falls asleep when it is exhausted, or it can find its old enemy Groudon and start a fierce battle that will not end regardless of the outcome, until both sides are exhausted. Or until someone in the way gets in the way.

But this time, the fateful opponent did not wake up, but slept deeply in the distant leylines, without the slightest intention of fighting.

At the same time, the sky-level energy coming from across the sky filled it with power.

The vermilion orb gives this power a fateful nature.

The energy from its old enemy left only one thought in its mind: go to the destined battlefield, Liuli City, and fight to the death with the God of Land!

After many attempts to awaken Kyogre's sanity but failed, with no choice but to save his home and the lives of countless people who are emotionally tied to him, Rai can only fight with it at this final dividing point. A bloody battle.
-
Fighting and retreating, Rai's route drew an exquisite curve: the uninhabited sea between the north of Waterway 106 and the southernmost tip of Hoenn Continent.

Kyogre's power is the ocean.

The closer the area is to it, the greater the size of the tsunami.

Such a route is the only way to protect Wudou and the Southwest Islands.

In the battle on thin ice, the day has passed and the night has come quietly.
-
After a whole day of fighting and running around, even after undergoing the baptism and transformation of the attribute slate in Xicui, Lai and his companions gradually found it difficult to survive.

The young Latias exhausted his last bit of strength in frequent sudden stops and turns.

Even with the blessing of the power of the heart, it will inevitably become sluggish.

Finally, in the midst of the turbulent waves, an accidental flaw and the incoming root fluctuation blocked all escape routes, leaving no room left.

"Latti!——"

In panic, Latias screamed. It wanted to escape, but its body refused to obey. A moment's delay was a matter of life and death.

A red light flashed, and the moment the light beam approached, Rai took it back into the elf ball, threw it downwards, and gently closed his eyes.

The glimmer of light that spread all over his body appeared again.

In the blink of an eye, the faint flash turned into a dazzling glow, lighting up the entire night sky.

A small gap quietly appeared next to Lai.

Faint, red and blue light shot out from it.
-
Maybe a long time, maybe a moment.

There was no expected pain or senseless sense of disillusionment.

Lai opened his eyes, and at some point, the mega giant swamp monster crossed his thick arms and stood in front of him.

However, it also closed its eyes tightly, unscathed but motionless.

【Long time no see, Rai, my friend. 】

A familiar voice rang in Rai's ear.

Lai suddenly turned around, and what he saw was the figure he thought he would never see again.

"King Daidai, what is this?"

For a moment, he was speechless and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Lai realized that the space he was in was no longer a stormy sea, but was surrounded only by a vast expanse of white.

[As you can see, Rai, I'm still alive.However, it cannot be considered alive. 】

King Dude was as humble and courteous as ever. He bowed slightly and said hello, then slowly walked up to Lai and stretched out his hand, as if saying goodbye for the last time that day.

Lai subconsciously stretched out his hand and held it tightly with King Daidai, but suddenly realized something: "I, King Daidai, you are still alive, I am really... really happy, but I still have a future. The finished battle, everyone is still waiting for me. So."

【Did you forget it?Time is meaningless here. Although everything is going on, for us, it is too slow, so slow that it is almost imperceptible.Of course, this might make you feel grounded if you want. 】

The fingertips lightly touched Lai's forehead.

A seemingly static, but somewhat dynamic picture appeared in front of Lai's eyes.

The dark red cracks grow from small to large until they penetrate the sky and the earth.

The black dragon bumped into the blue flying fish, denting its body.

The tiny yellow body, which seemed to be the size of a small dot, stood above Giratina's head, filled with blue light, locking Kyogre tightly.

Countless beams and spheres took this opportunity to hit its body, which was unable to dodge.

Even across the screen, even if nothing moved, Lai could feel the boundless potential of his comrades bursting out of despair and rage.

The screen moved down, and in the shallow sea, he also saw himself and the figure of the giant swamp monster that fell aside.

At this moment, it had suffered such a blow head-on, and had forcibly exited from the mega-evolved state, and lost consciousness. Like itself, it fell into a coma.

A few small bubbles appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

"Clap"

Clap your hands gently and the scene disappears.

King Slow sat awkwardly on the ground with a smile on his face.

[Now, can you relax a little?In fact, it wanted to save you, but I beat it to it. 】

It turned out that at the same moment when Rai and the Swampert were attacked, Giratina, who was awakened by Uxie, also felt his crisis. He immediately tore apart the space and rushed to Hoenn to kill Rai and the giant swamp monster. The Swamp Monster fell into the water and saw the shining moment when the light turned into a glow.

It nodded slightly noncommittally, with murderous intent in its eyes, and headed towards Kyogre, who was driven by instinct and didn't understand why.

"This big man and the little mushroom. Anyway, I want to thank you. You saved me again." Lai was a little emotional. This was the third time he had received help from the Slow King. "Now What kind of state are you in? You were clearly already..."

Speaking of the latter part, Lai's tone was a little vague.

[I am obviously dead and completely dissipated, why can I still appear here?You've actually discovered the answer, right? 】

King Slow's smile became more and more obvious.

Len nodded slowly: "It's that 'me', right?"

【Another you?This also makes sense.No matter who he was, on that fragment or loophole, the last fragment of my spirit was able to survive for some time. 】

King Dadai tilted his head, looking naive.

It survives in Lai's body with the help of the body of the "I" that has disappeared in Lai's spiritual world.

"What about you just now? Are we going to separate again?" Lai took a deep breath and looked steadily at the friend in front of him.

[Well, yes, my friend, this time is really the last. Fortunately, if I were just here, I could hold on for a while longer until I finish talking about everything I want to talk about. 】

The Dumb King didn't shy away from it.

The previous glow was the product of the burning of its last fragment of mental power.

Taking the initiative to ignite his last mark, King Slow saved Lai and at the same time, he also added a countdown to his own survival time.

Although it is just a fragment, it will dissipate sooner or later, but that day could have come much later.

Seeing Lai's depression and reluctance, King Dadai patted the "floor" beside him and motioned for Lai to sit down.The gentle superpower can work even in an unknown mental or memory space, and "carry" Lai easily.

[Don’t be like this, death is inevitable, don’t you know it very well?When facing the great creator god. 】

"This is different. People will always love the specific person next to them more."

[I am very happy to hear you say that.However, we have to part ways. Being able to survive this short period of time and watching you, or walking a very beautiful journey with you, already makes me feel very fulfilled.And, you also have your own mission, don't you? 】

".yes."

[Memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds.I think this sentence from the Sinnoh region makes sense. It should be a proverb after our civilization. I liked it from the moment you saw it in the book there. 】

"I will cherish your friendship and the memories we share."

[No, I hope that you can turn them into nourishment for your heart instead of exhibits in the window.The exchange between you and that person named Wang Luo made me want to participate. Unfortunately, at that time, I could only be a bystander. 】

"If you could have been there at that time, maybe you would have had some more enlightening remarks for us."

[This is not necessarily true, but I hope to see the limits of your mind. This cannot be false. 】

"The limits of my mind?"

[The heart has no limits, but people have limits. I don’t object to your point of view.But there will always be times when people exceed that limit, otherwise, people will be trapped in fate, just like me at that time.You know what I mean? 】

".I understand. I'll do my best."

[No, you have to transcend everything you have.However, I will help you, and there is a "new friend" you may be familiar with. 】

".?!"

"Hello, Len."

A clear female voice sounded in Lai's ears.

On the wrist, the small metal ball emits scorching heat.

The seemingly real and illusory body quietly rose from the "ground" and appeared in front of Lai's eyes.

"Are you Licoris?"

Looking at the little figure staying in the deepest part of his memory, Lai opened his eyes wide and said the other person's name in disbelief.

"Yes, I am Licoris, but not completely. You can understand that I am a memory? Maybe, it is just a program." Licoris's body grew slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already He looked like a student, "I will help you, my friend, and the newcomer who carries our dreams."

"bang"

Amid the explosion, Licolis' figure became taller, still wearing the botanist's field scientific examination uniform.

The metal ball on his wrist disappeared, leaving only the thread tied to his wrist.

However, it did not fall off, but was tied into a small bow.
-
Outside the spiritual world, the same change occurred in the unconscious Lai.

The metal ball exploded into pieces, but did not scatter. Instead, it naturally transferred to the giant swamp monster.

Earthy yellow and sapphire blue complement each other, and the dazzling light illuminates a chaotic sea.

In mid-air, Giratina, who tore through the space and rushed here, stepped out to block Kyogre, and the two sides fought fiercely.

But Giratina was fighting on the road after all. Even though his strength was better than the normal Kyogre, he still fell behind in the face of the extraordinarily abundant energy in the opponent's body, leaving scars on his body and face.

Feeling the light filled with special abilities, it just lowered its head slightly and understood most of it.

It had already noticed that the annihilation of the two fragments of history and civilization was irreversible.

What it can do is help its recognized partners win the battle in front of them.

At least, stabilize everything until he wakes up.
-
"Heart of the Vast Sea. Our last trace." Licoris's voice became a bit more vicissitudes of life. She grew older again and now looks like a middle-aged woman, but she still has a bit of the playfulness of her youth. "Lai, you don't really think that the accumulation of countless years is what you showed before, do you?"

"If I didn't have this metal ball, would things be very different?"

After Leng woke up, Lai saw the essence of the incident in front of him at a glance.

"Smart." Licolis nodded with satisfaction, "That metal ball, or the carrier of 'me', is the key to all this, the last gift we left behind, and the reason why the Heart of the Vast Sea is not different from other The only real reason why three facilities were detonated at the same time."

Along with the words, wrinkles began to appear on her face.

"My time is running out. Just like my life, I always move towards what you call the dusk of civilization. I like this sentence very much. The value of my existence is to give to heroes who can challenge the gods. Our gift.”

At the last moment, she was the last appearance in Lai's memory. Although she was not old, she had also reached the end of her life.

"Our battle is lost, but we are not defeated. We leave hope, future compatriots, to prove that we are no less than the existence of the eternal gods. I wish your battles are always accompanied by victory, and I wish you There are always wonderful encounters on the journey. Farewell."

Lycoris's voice lingered in Rai's ears.

The shadow slowly dissipated.

Compared to King Slow, Licoris's existence is so short-lived.

"I"

Staring at the wrist with only the bow left, Rai's eyes were slightly moist.

As the last material carrier disappeared, Lycoris and her era truly only existed in Rai's memory.

[My friend, this time is really the last.If possible, I really want to go through such a journey with you.At the end of the day, I was just grateful and happy. 】

King Slow's body once again turned into a familiar light spot, slowly but irreversibly beginning to dissipate.

"King Dudu, are you so quick? I still want to stay with you for a while longer."

Len wanted to reach out, but couldn't move at all.

Outside the spiritual world, the Swampert slowly opened its eyes. As its body was being transformed and strengthened again, it was keenly aware of everything, but it could only observe and endure it silently.

【I dare not expect to meet you again.But I hope I can have a trip of my own, such a wonderful trip. 】

[Lift your head, my friend, and feel my gift. Let it become a part of you, a part of the mind that transcends limits. 】

[You have to prove that it really has no limit. 】

King Slow completely dissolved into a point of light and merged into Rai's body.

Unprecedented fulfillment and enlightenment emerge.

His strength returned to his body again.

【To complete the unfinished business, wake up! 】

The flawless white world disappeared with a loud bang.

The dazzling light shot straight into the sky.
