Rayquaza's expression darkened further.
As the ruler of ancient Pokémon, it had not suffered injuries like this in countless years. Blood dripped from its mouth as it let out a chilling hiss, its massive body cutting through the sky with violent force.
Sam looked up—
And his heart dropped.
Flaming meteors began raining down from above.
Dragon Ascent? No…
This was worse.
Draco Meteor.
As one of the ultimate Dragon-type moves, its power was devastating—but even Rayquaza showed signs of fatigue after unleashing it.
"Tyranitar!" Sam shouted.
Below, Tyranitar roared and frantically gathered sand, trying to reach him—but it was too far away.
There wasn't enough time.
The meteors closed in.
For the first time—
Sam felt death right in front of him.
…So this is how it ends?
Just as he accepted it—
A furious roar erupted beneath him.
Charizard.
Its voice shook the sky.
Sam could feel it clearly—Charizard was blaming itself, hating its own weakness.
Time seemed to slow.
Sam smiled faintly.
"You've already done enough."
He closed his eyes.
And waited.
Then—
Something changed.
A strange energy surged from Sam's body, draining rapidly.
At the same time, Charizard began to glow.
A brilliant white light enveloped it completely.
Its form… began to shift.
When the light faded—
A new form emerged.
Mega Charizard Y.
Sam's eyes snapped open.
"Bond Evolution…?"
There was no Mega Stone.
No Key Stone.
The only explanation—
Was the bond between them.
CharizardY didn't hesitate.
It moved instantly.
With incredible speed, it weaved through the falling meteors, its body flashing like a streak of light.
Explosions roared around them.
Whenever it couldn't dodge—
It struck.
Claws coated in energy shattered incoming meteors mid-air.
The deadly storm became a path.
And Charizard carved through it.
Far above, Rayquaza's expression turned even colder.
The situation had changed.
Charizard had grown stronger.
Deoxys was nearly recovered.
Tyranitar remained untouched.
Meanwhile—
Rayquaza was injured, exhausted, and bleeding.
For the first time—
It hesitated.
Then—
It turned to leave.
Sam saw it.
And his eyes sharpened.
"Running?"
He let out a cold laugh.
"Tyranitar—Sand Shuriken!"
He wasn't letting it go.
Not after everything.
Tyranitar roared, gathering massive amounts of sand into a gigantic spinning shuriken.
Wind energy surged into it, accelerating its rotation to a terrifying level.
Then—
It threw.
The spinning blade tore through the air, howling toward Rayquaza.
Rayquaza hadn't expected resistance.
In its mind, sparing them was already mercy.
And yet—
They dared to attack?
Fury surged.
It turned, raising its claw, coated in draconic energy.
It struck.
But—
Something was wrong.
The shuriken didn't break.
Instead—
It spun faster.
The wind energy exploded outward, turning the attack into a storm of cutting force.
SHRRRRK!!!
Rayquaza's claw was torn open.
Deep wounds carved down to the bone.
Blood sprayed into the sky.
"ROOOOAR!!!"
This time—
It wasn't rage.
It was pain.
That was enough.
The anger faded.
Instinct took over.
Rayquaza understood—
If it stayed, it might die.
Without another glance, it broke through the clouds and fled toward the upper atmosphere.
"Charizard! Hurry—get the dragon blood!" Sam shouted.
Droplets of blood rained from the sky.
This wasn't ordinary blood.
This was Rayquaza's blood—pure, ancient, and incredibly powerful.
Charizard didn't need to be told twice.
It dove straight into the crimson rain, opening its jaws and absorbing it.
The effect was immediate.
Power surged violently through its body.
Sam could even hear the system reacting.
Charizard's strength skyrocketed—
But then—
"ROAR!!!"
It couldn't handle it.
Flames burst uncontrollably from its mouth as it tried to release the excess energy.
Even so—
The growth was undeniable.
Below, Tyranitar didn't waste the opportunity either.
It absorbed what it could.
Even for it, dragon blood was a massive boost.
The battle was over.
But the aftermath—
Was only just beginning.
