The moment she saw Rayquaza's silhouette, Kirlia's heart surged with fury.
She would never forget that day.
The Rainbow Team Rocket rose to power, Giovanni summoned Necrozma, and launched a massive attack on the regions of Kanto and Johto, where his hatred burned the fiercest.
Due to Kanto being guarded by Mew and the Tree of Beginning, the Rainbow Team Rocket couldn't break through for the time being. As a result, the nearest region, Aurient, became their target of vengeance.
In that battle, Aurient's Champion died, the Four Kings died, all Gym Leaders and Pokémon Center Chiefs died, and almost all the Joys and Jennys perished.
Even Axel fell before Gardevoir.
Gardevoir gave her all, killing Zekrom and heavily injuring Necrozma. Later, for unknown reasons, she returned to the present.
This life, besides being reunited with Axel, her greatest obsession was killing Rayquaza.
Why could the guardian deities of other regions protect their people, yet this black Rayquaza enjoyed faith without lifting a finger?
'A dragon like this should be killed, and its body should be used to nourish other Pokémon, preparing for the eventual destruction of Rainbow Team Rocket.'
Thinking of how Axel stood in front of her without hesitation, trying to take that crisscrossing lightning attack for her, Kirlia's killing intent could no longer be suppressed.
'He is just an ordinary human, why should he take an attack from a god?'
'All of this should be borne by the black Rayquaza, the one who enjoys Aurient's faith!'
Amidst endless killing intent, all the Fairy Gems carried by Kirlia and Axel shattered. Pure Fairy energy wrapped around Kirlia's body.
Her level rose rapidly.
23... 24... 25...
Finally, her level stopped at 27.
But the changes in Kirlia did not stop. A faint, dreamlike pink light flashed over her body.
Her originally slender figure began to grow taller, as if being gently stretched by an invisible force.
Her legs became more elegant and graceful, with smooth and beautiful lines. She lightly touched the ground with her toes, as if she was about to start dancing at any moment.
Her arms extended and curved slightly, as if summoning some mysterious power. Her fingers grew more slender and longer, drawing glowing trails in the air.
The antennae on her head disappeared, transforming into crystalline, translucent pink long hair.
At the tips, faint yet enchanting starlight shimmered, like dreamy tendrils hanging down from the night sky.
Her skirt at this moment seemed infused with the agility of the wind, spreading and fluttering in layers. Each layer sparkled faintly, as if woven by moonlight and flower petals by a fairy.
Fairy Queen—Gardevoir, evolved in advance.
After completing her evolution, Gardevoir's crimson eyes immediately locked onto the shadow of the black Rayquaza.
With a wave of her small hand, Axel instantly felt the world spin.
When he regained clarity, he was already at the farthest end of the valley with Duraludon and Pheromosa.
Seeing the furious Gardevoir, Rayquaza was instantly stunned.
'Wait, why is this Pokémon looking at me like that?'
'Did I kill you or something?'
'Now she's even teleported her Trainer away, planning to fight to the death with me?'
Gardevoir read the thoughts of Rayquaza's remnant and showed a mocking smile.
["A fight to the death... you think you're worthy?"]
"ROAR!"
Provoked again and again by Gardevoir, even as the guardian deity of Aurient, Rayquaza was starting to lose it.
He prided himself in never having wronged the people of Aurient since descending to this world.
Yet this Aurient Trainer's Gardevoir kept provoking him again and again, on what basis?
After a roar, the Pokémon before Rayquaza, Duraludon and the others, immediately attacked Gardevoir.
Duraludon lowered his body, electricity surged on him, and without hesitation began charging up an Electro Beam.
Aerodactyl swooped down from low altitude, unleashing Supersonic while picking up Tyrantrum onto his back. Carrying Tyrantrum, who was ready to use Poison Fang, they flew toward Gardevoir.
From a distance, Axel couldn't help but curse, hugged Pheromosa, and had her carry him flying toward Gardevoir.
No matter what had happened to Gardevoir, as her Trainer, he couldn't let her fight alone.
Even if his Gardevoir had angered Aurient's guardian deity.
Watching Axel flying toward her, Gardevoir's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness and warmth.
'Foolish master... you were like this in the previous life too, how are you still so dumb?'
'But this time, I won't let tragedy repeat.'
'Just a few remnants, unworthy of being this Queen's enemies!'
Gardevoir vanished from where she stood. When she reappeared, she was already above Rayquaza.
In the next moment, a glimmer of moonlight flashed in her eyes. The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a bright moon hung in the sky, radiating immense Fairy-type energy.
[Moonblast: Borrowing the power of the moon to attack the opponent.]
Gardevoir had sensed early on that the moonlight in this space was far stronger than outside, allowing her Moonblast to unleash power far exceeding the outside world.
Because of this, she had the confidence to overturn Rayquaza's remnant here.
In the next instant, a stream of moonlight as tangible as water poured from the sky, like a reversed Milky Way, instantly engulfing Rayquaza and the other three Pokémon.
Tyrantrum's eyes went black and he turned back into purple Dragon-type energy.
One-hit KO!
Gardevoir was not surprised at all. Her gaze turned cold as she looked at Rayquaza's damaged body.
["I thought you'd grown some courage, daring to appear before me."]
["Turns out you're just a remnant that can't attack or be attacked."]
["That's more like your style."]
Black Rayquaza: "???"
'Say it clearly, will you?'
'I admit you're strong, but do you have to be this arrogant?'
'Did you really kill a god before?'
'Besides, I've always charged into battle myself, how am I lacking courage?'
Unfortunately, all of Gardevoir's mental power was focused on communing with the moon, leaving no time to pay attention to Rayquaza's thoughts.
With a wave of her jade hand, the bright moon in the sky cast moonlight again.
The entire valley was covered in moonlight. The Special Defense-weak Aerodactyl collapsed weakly to the ground, turning to dust.
Two attacks—only a severely injured Duraludon remained on the field.
At this moment, Duraludon's Electro Beam had finished charging.
His body crackled with arcs of electricity. A beam of light flashed upward, his Special Attack had been boosted.
The surrounding rocks couldn't withstand the high-voltage electricity from Duraludon's body, emitting continuous crackling sounds.
Gardevoir's lips curled in mockery.
So much charge time, without reliable teammates to help, just a waste of power.
A gleam of light flashed in her hand. She was ready to use Protect to block Duraludon's attack.
Just then, Gardevoir sensed a familiar energy approaching.
Axel and Pheromosa had already arrived behind Duraludon.
Pheromosa's long leg had already lifted high, about to stomp on Duraludon.
The Normal-type Stomp could cause the opponent to flinch.
Although the probability wasn't very high, it was enough for Gardevoir to do what she had always wanted to do.
Energy surged around her, her crimson eyes filled with regal majesty, looking down on Rayquaza.
["Look, these are my master and my friend."]
["Even if they're as weak as fireflies, they would still rush forward for me without hesitation."]
["And you, lowly reptile, no one will ever stand in front of you, nor behind you!"]
Black Rayquaza: "???"
'Please stop insulting me, sis...'
'If you must, at least tell me what I did wrong!'
