The Pillar of the Sky towers into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the top of the pillar cannot be seen at a glance.
Lu Ye rode Latias and landed on the platform at the bottom of the Sky Pillar. He glanced at the entrance and guessed:
"So, Ruby and Safiya broke into the trial first...and then another trainer also entered the Pillar of the Sky?"
Dawu is leaning down to survey the footprints.
"It's not impossible." Daigo stood up and said with a frown: "I think Ruby and the others want to solve the disaster of Groudon and Kyogre as soon as possible, so they don't want to waste time fighting."
No one could have imagined that the crisis between the two gods of Hoenn would be resolved so quickly.
Qianli looked at the black-haired young man with respect, and then said in a deep voice:
"Lubi and the others probably haven't heard the news that the crisis has been resolved."
"Enter the Pillar of the Sky." Lu Ye said, "Maybe we can find them."
No one has counted the specific number of floors of the Pillar of the Sky. They only know that it will take at least a day to climb it on foot.
Not to mention that the pillar is also filled with the aura of Rayquaza, ancient Pokémon such as telekinesis dolls, and cracks in the floor that can be seen everywhere.
Danger is everywhere, and you may even step on the steps accidentally and fall from a height of several hundred meters!
"Isn't it possible to fly here?" Lu Ye asked.
"Yes, but Rayquaza can sense the situation within the Pillar of the Sky, and flying within the Sky God's territory may offend Him." Daigo replied.
Lu Ye pointed forward, one eye twitching, and the floating telepathy puppet asked: "Then why can this guy fly?!"
Nian Li Dou:?
"roar!!"
The King of Leave picked his nose, his eyes suddenly froze, and the sharp claws he waved surged into the shadow of the 'Shadow Claw', knocking the telepathic earth puppet unconscious with one move!
The telepathic clay puppet fell to the ground, circles of eyes appeared, and the passage leading to the second floor appeared in front of him.
Qianli took back the leave request and said calmly: "Okay, let's continue on our way."
Lu Ye: "..."
As expected of the owner of Qianli Pavilion, he is ruthless and doesn’t talk much!
Boom!
Everyone looked up at the ceiling where wall debris had been shaken off. There was a battle breaking out on a higher floor, but it was difficult to identify the specific floor number.
Lu Ye looked at the fragile ceiling and suggested:
"How about we punch a hole in the ceiling and fly all the way up?"
Daigo and Qianli's expressions changed slightly, and they both shook their heads.
Let alone asking Rayquaza for help, he is showing mercy by not killing him!
"Okay then." Lu Ye gave way, "Then fly up from the stairs... The fight has already started anyway, flying is just a trivial matter."
Daigo and Senri looked at each other and finally accepted the proposal.
The stairs are spiral and winding upward.
Daiwu's white giant Metagross spewed air from its four arms and rushed ahead at a gallop.
Teacher Lu acted steadily and took responsibility for the aftermath, thinking to himself:
"You can't use it here. You have to get the big platform on the top floor to use Palkiya's space to teleport!"
Boom!
The explosion of the battle became more intense, and the three of them speeded up again. Looking out from the stone window, they were already above the sea of clouds.
At roughly the twenty-first floor, the red light of the flame illuminated the stairs, and Qianli suddenly paused:
“This is it!”
**
Ten hours ago, Ruby and Saphia were the first to enter the Sky Pillar. Ruby relied on the energy cubes left behind to attract swarms of ancient Pokémon, and then delayed Shijana who was catching up.
However, the trial of the Pillar of the Sky even included solving puzzles and traps. One night passed, and seeing the top floor close at hand, Shijana caught up with Luby and the two.
Shijana was wearing a cloak, with a Tyrannosaurus and a Sonic Dragon floating beside her, and said coldly:
"I said... people from Dewen Company, leave Lord Dragon God's territory!"
The successor recognized by Rayquaza is not Shijana, but her friend of the same name, Shijana.
'Shijana' is the successor prophesied by the people of the meteor who made Rayquaza Mega evolve and then shattered the super huge meteorite.
However, 'Shijana' lost her life in a conflict with Dewen Company... So Shijana took over the name of the inheritor and vowed to undertake her friend's mission of saving Hoenn in her own way.
Because Shijana is a 'fake', she is not recognized by Rayquaza in the game or the special episode.
However, her belief in taking on the mission and seeking revenge for her deceased friend is no less than that of Daigo, President Zvucci and others.
"I don't know your origin, but..."
Ruby looked at the Tyrannosaurus and held Safia's hand firmly, "We also have a mission that we must complete!"
"ZUZU, Zongzhi, Mega Evolution!!"
Swampert and Flame Chicken completed their Mega evolution at the same time. At the same moment, Shijana's super anklet shone with white light.
Under the illumination of the rainbow light, the violent flying dragon's bloody wings turned into a crescent moon, and it roared fiercely: "Roar!!"
Mega Tyrannosaurus has a violent nature and will even attack trainers. It is known as the "bloody crescent".
Shijana no longer had time to consider that this was in Pillar of the Sky. The pain of her friend's death and her anger towards Devon Company blinded her eyes.
"Flying dragon, risk your life and charge!"
"Roar!!" Mega Tyrannosaurus flapped its crescent-shaped wings, sweeping the wind in the small space!
"The oath of water!" Ruby and Safiya said at the same time, "The oath of fire!"
The flames clung to the outside of the water column and crashed into the Tyrannosaurus to contain it. A brilliant rainbow rose from the billowing black smoke!
"A little trick..." Shijana covered the black smoke with her hands, her cloak rustled with the air waves, and she threw the elf ball she held in her palm fiercely, "Slimy Dragon, Freezing Beam!"
"Woo!!" A gray-purple slimy dragon with a round body and slime all over its body took a deep breath and spit out a cold blue beam of light.
The beam fell to the ground, freezing Ruby and Safia's ankles, triggering the additional effect of 'freezing'!
Ruby and Saphia did not dodge, but stared blankly behind Shijana, with joyful expressions on their faces.
"I don't have time to mess around with you anymore." Shijana snapped her fingers and said coldly, "Tyrannosaurus, use"
"That's it, little girl." Qianli stood behind Shijana and said in a deep voice: "The king of leave, a million-ton punch!"
Shijana turned around suddenly and saw a ferocious Leave King swinging a heavy fist and flying towards the Mega Tyrannosaurus.
Boom!!
The Mega Flying Dragon was unable to dodge, and was knocked back by this punch. It smashed into the wall on the edge and let out a painful roar!
"Ha~" The leave king yawned and picked his nose arrogantly.
Qianli crossed his arms, with "protect the calf" written all over his face!
"Father/Uncle!" Ruby and Safiya said at the same time.
Qianli glanced at his son and future daughter-in-law, and nodded coldly.
"You are..." Shijana's eyes fell on Daigo's iconic blue hair, biting her lips, "People from Dewen Company!"
Dawu has heard about the "traitor" of the Meteor people. She was originally just an ordinary person. For the sake of her deceased friend Xi Jiana, she risked the disgrace of the tribe and took on the mission of "inheriter".
In fact, Dawu frowned slightly, Dewen Company did owe her a lot...
"They are, but I'm not." Lu Ye interjected, "I'm from the Pokémon Company."
Everyone was stunned.
Shijana stared blankly at the handsome black-haired young man, then shook her head.
Then don't put him on the hit list...
"The inheritor of the Meteor People." Dawu apologized and frowned, "I deeply apologize for what Dewen Company has done."
"But we have the same mission to save Fengyuan." Dawu's eyes flashed slightly, "Inheritor, maybe you can join hands with Dewen Company..."
"Hold hands?" Shijana interrupted, "Don't say stupid things."
Shijana paused, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"I will never believe the words of you hypocrites again."
"I will use my own way to form a bond with Lord Dragon God, and then save the entire Hoenn."
After saying that, Shijana raised her hand to put the Pokémon back into the Poké Ball and walked straight towards Daigo and Qianli.
Bang!
Shijana pushed aside Daigo and Senri, walked between them, and headed towards the top of the Sky Pillar.
This girl with short black hair looked up at the light on the top floor with piercing eyes.
I will complete the mission for you, Xijiana...
Shijana called the name of her deceased friend in her heart.
Even if it costs my life, I will make the agreement!
"Aren't you going to catch up? Mr. Daigo!"
Safiya said anxiously, "There are Groudon and Kyogre outside..."
"The crisis between Groudon and Kyogre has been resolved."
Dawu said in a broad voice: "Don't worry, Teacher Lu defeated them."
Ruby and Saphia were startled at the same time and looked at Teacher Lu blankly.
Without the help of Rayquaza's power, Teacher Lu defeated the two gods of Hoenn!?
Then what’s the point of coming to Pillar of the Sky!
Lu Ye seemed to see the confusion between the two, and explained: "The huge meteorite in 10 days will still need the assistance of Mega Rayquaza... I think I still have to go see Rayquaza."
"Then, that person just now..." Ruby said.
"Her name is Shijana." A trace of memory flashed through Daigo's eyes, and he raised his head and said, "Let her accept Rayquaza's assessment... After all, that is the right that the people of Meteor should have."
Shijana and Dewen Company are trying to use different methods to solve the problem of super giant meteorites.
The inheritance of the Meteor people, the science of the Dewen Group...the contradiction between the two sides is becoming increasingly acute and irreconcilable.
Lu Ye looked towards the stairs where Shijana left, his eyes flashing slightly.
Carrying the mission of her deceased friend and fighting against the torrent of capital alone, Shijana has an aura of utopian heroism.
But as Teacher Lu told N in Hezhong District, the world is not black and white.
In order to deal with the meteorite, the people of Meteor can also join hands with their former enemy Dewen Company.
Shijana didn't realize this at the moment, and stubbornly wanted to form a bond with Rayquaza and seek his power.
Lu Ye shook his head.
Rayquaza is not stupid, how could he be used as a weapon by Shijana...
"What will happen if that girl is not recognized by Rayquaza?" Safiya asked softly.
"She will be attacked by Rayquaza." Qianli replied in a deep voice: "Unlike you and Lubi, as a citizen of the Meteor, she will be punished more severely."
Ruby was stunned and her eyes widened: "She knew this, that's why..."
"Let's go up together." Lu Ye said.
Everyone looked at Teacher Lu.
Seeing his whole body filled with crystal white light spots, a wave of time and space surged around him.
Lu Ye looked towards the dome.
Shijana was not Rayquaza's favored successor...but she would not die because of it.
Because Teacher Lu understands Xijana's state of mind and has faith and strength that Dewen Company and the people of Meteor cannot match.
Inheritance, science, revenge, mission... these are all too general, rigid and secular.
Facing the God of the Sky who is above and looking down on Fengyuan, there is only one transcendent answer.
"It's not Rayquaza's assessment of the inheritors."
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed, the air waves blew his black hair, and he said:
"But the inheritor is testing Rayquaza!"
…
Pillar of the sky, top floor.
What you see is a desolate pile of rocks, a sea of misty clouds, and an invisible threat that envelopes this place.
Shijana reached the top floor, her gray cloak flapping, her legs and feet feeling a little weak.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the clouds, but her steps suddenly stopped.
A layer of special gas shrouded her eyes, and Shijana knew that the main component was ozone. Rayquaza would wrap itself in ozone when sleeping outside the ozone layer.
And this also means that ‘Lord Dragon God’ is very close at hand!
Shijana carefully moved forward, her eyes shrouded in thick clouds and fog, and she could only vaguely discern the direction.
Click!
The gravel was kicked away, Shijana's pupils shrank rapidly, and a huge figure was slowly waking up deep in the clouds!
A strong wind swept over her, Shijana folded her arms, and her cloak fluttered.
The heavy fog suddenly dissipated, and a giant green dragon appeared in front of us, standing upright with its vast upper body and extending its sharp claws.
Ultra-ancient Pokémon, God of the Sky, Rayquaza!!
The golden lines around his body shone with light, and Rayquaza let out a sharp roar.
"roar!!"
The strong intimidation made it impossible to breathe, and a drop of sweat streaked from Shijana's cheek to her collarbone. She raised her cheek, and her dark pupils shone with a tough luster.
Snap!
Shijana took a step closer to Rayquaza, knelt down on one knee, lowered her head and said loudly:
"Lord Dragon God, I am the inheritor of the lineage of the Meteor People. Please... form a bond with me!"
The roaring stopped.
Rayquaza's violent and leering yellow eyes stared at Sijana coldly, and an inhumane voice sounded in Sijana's heart:
"You are not the successor of the Meteor People, but you have the aura of that successor..."
Shijana was startled suddenly and replied hoarsely:
"Xijiana has left... now, it's up to me to complete the mission for her!"
Rayquaza narrowed his eyes, the golden lines around his body shone with light, and the energy storage body called the 'Emperor's Organ' emitted dazzling golden light flakes, and his voice was like questioning:
"Are you teasing Yu Gu?"
A sense of crisis surged into Xijana's back. She took out the golden scroll in her arms, raised it with both hands, bowed her head and knelt down:
"Lord Dragon God, this is the symbol of the people of Meteor and the inheritor... Please, please... take it back!"
"Roar!!" Rayquaza didn't answer anymore and roared out a fierce wind.
The strong air wave blew the scroll away, Shijana's pupils shrank, and the 'Dragon God' had no intention of retrieving the scroll!
Boom!
Rayquaza's sharp claws landed on Shijana's back, and with just a light wave, Shijana's soles shattered into cracks several meters wide, her pupils were gray, and she coughed out a mouthful of blood!
Rayquaza is not a gentle god to begin with, not to mention Shijana's behavior, which in Rayquaza's eyes is undoubtedly provocative!
rustle
Rayquaza opened his mouth, and a violent ball of light surged from his mouth!
A black shadow quickly passed by, bringing the dying Shijana behind the boulder.
Shijana opened her gray eyes and glanced blankly at the Pokémon beside her, "Lati...Ass..."
"Just watch it carefully." Latias said gloomily, "You will only cause trouble for him!"
Shijana's eyes were dim, and with a slight gleam of light, she looked towards the battlefield behind the boulder.
On the top of the broad Sky Pillar, there are many rocks, and Rayquaza occupies the vast body, with a stern look in his eyes.
There was a small, black-haired young man standing in front of Rayquaza, looking into his eyes.
"Who are you?" Rayquaza asked coldly.
Lu Ye did not answer, the shadow extended behind him, and suddenly transformed into Darkrai with billowing mist.
Above the sky, there were five teleportation cracks of different colors, tearing the sky apart, and lined up behind Lu Ye!
Boom!!
Thunder and flames intertwined, shadows were thick, and the sky was dim.
Blue, red, gray, black, white time, space, reversal, ideal, reality!!
Rayquaza suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking up at the five turbulent teleportation cracks in the sky, slightly lost in thought.
"Stop it, Rayquaza."
Lu Ye said calmly: "I will give you an irresistible reason to refuse."
