I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

The stairs leading to the top floor were longer than Li Xiang imagined.

The slightly curved steps formed a spiral, and the remaining bits of starlight from the dome remained on the wall.

This made him take off his night vision goggles and put down his backpack.

"Why didn't you call me just now?" ? 』

Semi emerged from the bag angrily protesting, a folded pickaxe in his mouth.

"There are also things that need to be put away after use, and don't just leave them on others!" 』

Oops.

I almost thought you were going to give it to me.

Li wanted to curse, but he said the words he had prepared.

"Isn't it because the opponent is too weak, so there is no need to let you play? You are so powerful, give others more room to play."

He responded softly as he arranged his and Lucario's appearance.

A good challenger was so disgraced by this last layer that at first glance he looked like he was touching Colonel Jin.

It was as if he had come to dig Rayquaza's grave.

Obviously he is not dead yet.

"Is that what you say?" 』

When Xie Mi heard the words of "compliment", his originally angry face suddenly became happy, and he put down the pickaxe and laughed.

"If you understand, then it's the best thing to say. I'm a strong one~"

"Yeah, please rest."

Li Xiang nodded, asked Carlio to help him pour water, washed his face briefly, tidied his hair, and stuffed Xie Mi back into his bag.

"It's almost time. Are you ready?"

He looked into Lucario's eyes, who nodded firmly.

"Ouch!"

One person and one dog climbed up the stairs.

After walking a few steps, an arched door appeared in front of him, which was similar to the entrance below.

Starlight poured in through the arched door, making the dark staircase much clearer. The slight cold wind seemed to be absent, blowing Li Xiang's hair.

His eyes also passed through this door silently.

Unfortunately, the visibility outside was extremely low, and there was a light mist like dry ice everywhere.

The clouds and smoke curled up as if they were about to reach a fairyland.

There is an indescribable, vague smell in the air, which ruins the artistic conception.

But Lee wanted to know that it was Rayquaza's favorite ingredient in the air - ozone.

As an elf that lives in the ozone layer all year round, even after landing, it has to let the ozone surround itself so that it can sleep peacefully.

For ordinary humans, short-term existence in a low-concentration ozone environment will not cause much harm. Ozone can even block ultraviolet rays, disinfect, sterilize and relieve pain, etc.

High concentrations won't work.

fine.

The ozone at the top of the Sky Pillar is just the thinnest kind, and it is generally believed that Rayquaza created it himself.

Li Xiang walked forward slowly.

All of a sudden.

A light lit up before his eyes.

Subsequently.

The stars in the sky combined to form a blue starry sky, shining brightly into his eyes.

Fresh air rushed into his nasal cavity, making his brain, which was a little dull just now, suddenly feel refreshed.

Finally left that dark environment.

"Hiss——"

Li Xiang took a deep breath and stood in the floating light mist, feeling extremely comfortable physically and mentally.

left hand side.

Outside the stone pier that surrounds the edge, misty clouds are slowly moving, and further away are the lights belonging to human cities.

It symbolizes the prosperity of the beautiful city of Longdu.

The breeze whistled in my ears, which was like the sound of busy traffic on the street.

He smiled.

This feeling of broad vision really made him miss it so much, even though it was only less than a day since the last time he saw it.

"Challenger Li Xiang, welcome to the 100th floor of the Pillar of the Sky."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

Li Xiang turned around and found a girl wearing traditional clothes of the Dragon People.

This man was standing on the edge of the arched door, his expression calm and without any ups and downs.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the Dragon God's maid who was chosen by the dragon people to communicate with Rayquaza.

at the same time.

She is also one of the guides in the Dragon God Trial and will help deliver Rayquaza's "words".

It's a pity that Rayquaza has a bad temper and doesn't like too much contact with humans, so she is the only one on the top floor.

Li Xiang nodded and responded, "Hello."

Although I was curious as to why she knew his name, at this time it was wise to look more and ask less, so I didn't open my mouth.

"plz follow me."

The Dragon God's maid bowed and led them to the left.

top layer.

The first impression given to Li Xiang was one of openness, and the second impression was one of mystery.

Because the visibility is too low.

A shallow smog of ozone and water vapor obscures many things.

He could only see some neatly arranged stone pillars and countless scattered stones of various sizes.

Rayquaza's food?

He blinked and remembered that Rayquaza would eat various free substances in the atmosphere, but meteorites were also in its diet.

Thinking about it this way, these scattered stones are probably not the remnants of the guy who packed the food back to eat but ended up not finishing it.

It can't be the Key Stone and the Super Stone.

It doesn't even look like it.

Li Xiang silently complained in his heart, but Lucario beside him suddenly poked his arm.

"Woo..."

It hummed low and stared straight ahead.

The former followed its line of sight and suddenly saw a huge black shadow appearing in the clouds and mist.

Like a hill, standing quietly in front.

Perhaps because of the night, the black shadow looked a little hazy, making it difficult to tell whether it really existed.

Li Xiang wanted to use night vision goggles to find out, but he was worried that if he really saw it, his direct gaze would be regarded as a provocation by Rayquaza.

After all, any powerful creature will be very sensitive to prying eyes.

Not to mention Lucario's waveguide, when it is activated, for many mentally powerful creatures, it is no different than being wiped with a towel.

Too obvious.

If he were Rayquaza, he would be upset if he was messed with like this, not to mention that Rayquaza himself has a bad temper.

At this time.

The Dragon God's maid who was walking in front suddenly stopped, turned her head and whispered.

"Please wait where you are."

Have you arrived?

The interview has started?

Li Xiang's heart moved slightly. After thanking her in a low voice, he watched the Dragon God's maid disappear into the mist.

Under normal circumstances, the "interview" would have started by now.

The next few dozen seconds or even minutes will determine whether he can bring back his Key Stone and Lucario's Super Stone.

But if you are unlucky, you may get beaten.

There is a big difference between being beaten and being beaten.

all in all.

All will be decided in a few minutes.

Lucario realized this and became a little anxious for the first time. He put his two paws behind his back, folding them together restlessly and pawing them back and forth.

This is the super evolution that has been thought about for a long time. How can it not be nervous?

However.

One person and one dog waited for several minutes, their faces were chilled by the wind, but they didn't hear any movement in the mist.

Apart from the constant whistling of the wind, there was no sound beside my ears.

This made him a little curious as to how the dragon folk could talk to Rayquaza.

By voice?

If it relies on sound, why is there no movement inside? Could it be that ozone has a sound-insulating effect?

But if it's telepathy...

As far as he knew, there had never been a scene in the anime where Rayquaza spoke human language.

If that were the case, what kind of voice would Rayquaza have?

Uncle? Sister Yu?

She can't be the same irritable shota as Mew.

Li Xiang had many thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he was quite calm and stood motionless.

With him as a role model, Lucario, who was originally restless, slowly calmed down.

It took more than ten hours, and it didn’t take more than a few minutes.

Then again.

Rayquaza couldn't have really fallen asleep, he didn't even scream no matter what...

Could it be that this guy never came back at all?

With nothing to do, Li Xiang was alert to the opponent's attack and had his imagination running wild.

I wonder if Rayquaza may have been away for a long time and has not returned yet.

What's left in the distance now is just an inflated balloon or something.

There is evidence.

A total of three people have been there this year, but none of them have ever seen Rayquaza with their own eyes.

Even Pang Jing, who had obtained the Key Stone and the Super Stone, was vague about Rayquaza's true appearance.

It can be seen that whether Rayquaza is there or not is still an uncertain unknown.

certainly.

This kind of thing can be understood by taking a look at it with a night vision device or letting Lucario scan it with a waveguide.

No need to guess here at all.

Unfortunately, a too direct gaze may cause the interview to fail.

This is the shortcoming of being subject to "people".

If the association could find a vein of Mega Evolution Stone on the Zhuxia boundary, there would be no need to worry about Mega Evolution being monopolized by Rayquaza.

Not to mention coming here to participate in some dragon god trials to create fun for Lezilong.

Li Xiang watched the silent black figure in the clouds and mist, hoping that it would move a little.

Just a moment is fine.

Otherwise, they would be bored just standing here.

correct?

Do you want to give me some tribute?

He suddenly remembered that Rayquaza had accepted food from others, and there happened to be some left after feeding Absol.

High-quality energy cubes can always cause a little reaction, right?

but.

Before he could take off his backpack and take out something from inside.

As if responding to his previous expectations.

The shadow moved.

and.

Still moving a little violently? ? ?

"hold head high--!!"

A muffled thunderous howl sounded, mixed with vague anger.

Li Xiang and Lucario were both stunned for a moment, and then they saw a thick black shadow suddenly swinging over from the side!

The clouds are turning.

In the field of vision of the two, the ozone blocking their vision in front was suddenly pierced, and the long and thick emerald green tail rushed straight over like a steel gun magnified countless times!

It was so fast that it made a roar!

"Ouch!"

Lucario was stunned for a moment in disbelief.

Immediately, he activated his waveguide vision as quickly as possible, grabbed the trainer's clothes with his right paw, and narrowly dodged the sudden attack.

"Nima..."

Li Xiang rolled on the ground, a little embarrassed, and his face looked very ugly.

He was a little angry.

It had nothing to do with the fact that he was attacked by Rayquaza, but the fact that he had been frightened for so many days, Lucario had been looking forward to it for so long, and the whole day's efforts had all been wasted.

With one tail, everything disappeared.

Depend on!

He cursed secretly, but quickly accepted the fact and did not take any useless remedial measures.

After all, Rayquaza attacked, proving that this guy must be hostile to him.

Otherwise, as long as you have some good intentions, you won't beat people if they don't pass the test.

Is it difficult to let yourself feel at ease by saying it bluntly?

Nonsense!

Rayquaza is obviously used to doing whatever he wants. He rewards those who like him and beats those who don't like them. He doesn't even use attribute energy.

Just like those dignitaries of the old century.

So.

How to eliminate a Pokémon's hostility?

Very simple.

Beat it until it becomes submissive and until it is no longer hostile.

In the world of Pokémon, fighting is one of the many ways to gain recognition from one party, the most convenient and most recognized by Pokémon.

For example, Rayquaza can calm down the anger of Kyogre and Groudon by fighting.

Li wanted to make Rayquaza not hostile to him, and he could still rely on fighting to resolve it.

It's just that it's not possible at the moment.

Calling Mewtwo is probably too much. The super-evolved Rayquaza's strength is too terrifying.

But one day.

This humiliation must be returned, and the reason for the attack must be clarified.

It has nothing to do with whether you give the keystone or not, because it is someone else's thing. If you are willing to give it, it is affection and kindness. If you are not willing to give it, it is your duty and right.

But what does it mean if you don't want to give someone a "slap"?

How insulting!

More importantly, its tail destroyed Lucario's nearly three years of expectations, and it also made a mockery of Gouzi by bluntly saying that he would beat you if he didn't give it.

Not even attribute energy is used!

The joking undertones were too obvious.

Li Xiang couldn't stand this kind of "ridicule" on Lucario's side.

Divine beast?

So what about the mythical beasts, Arceus is still being tricked by others, and sooner or later your fun Ryū Rayquaza will also suffer retribution!

Li Xiang glared at the huge black shadow fiercely, and planned to leave with Lucario.

Through this experience, he finally understood that asking for charity, whether the object was a human or a Pokémon, was an unreliable thing in the world.

I can't have a face that makes all Pokémon love me, and even the mythical beasts are willing to give me face.

but.

The world is so big, and Rayquaza is not alone in super evolution. Just because Zhuxia is monopolized by it does not mean that other regions are also monopolized by it.

As long as you are willing to look for it, you will find it sooner or later.

"Let's go."

Li wanted to be wary of Rayquaza's second attack and whispered to Lucario.

Lucario was a little frustrated and humiliated, but he also understood that the deal was done.

The two turned around and planned to leave.

However.

"hold head high--!!"

Rayquaza was unwilling to let them go for some reason, and was about to launch a second attack.

The clouds stirred.

The Dragon God's maid, who had disappeared for a long time, also made her voice heard.

"do not run!"

It’s not over, right?

Li Xiang was furious. If the first attack was ridicule, then the second attack was a complete bullying!

"Ouch!"

Lucario suddenly opened his waveguide shield, and the bright blue light shield blocked the front like a barrier.

It once again grabbed its trainer, trying to dodge using its waveguide vision.

But this time Rayquaza used attribute energy to attack, blasting an extremely thick beam of light directly from the clouds and mist!

In a short period of time, Lucario couldn't escape at all!

Bang!

The roar exploded!

The waveguide shield was completely unable to block Rayquaza's attack, and it shattered within the second of being supported.

It was better that Li Xiang released the strong shield sword monster in time. He used the king shield at the critical moment and barely blocked the light wave.

and

"It's time for you to show off your power, Xie Mi!"

He unzipped the backpack, took the confused Xie Mi out of it, picked up the sachet in his arms and brought it to its nose.

Shemi in sky form is an uncertain time bomb.

This point can be said to be quite clear, even if the other party is willing to listen to him.

After all, the relationship between them is not that of a trainer and a Pokémon, and there is no tacit understanding at all.

Semi didn't know how to attack his opponent without affecting his trainer.

The seed flash will basically explode anything that can be used.

So it's a double-edged sword.

But sometimes even a double-edged sword has to be used when it's time to use it.

"mum……"

Xie Mi didn't understand what was happening at all. He only knew that the situation was very critical, and besides the familiar creatures nearby, there was also a presence that made him tremble in his heart.

what to do?

Do you want it to hit that guy?

It seems like it can't beat——

Xie Mi took a deep breath, and countless pollen flew out of the sachet and poured into its nose and body.

Suddenly.

Its body began to glow and its appearance changed rapidly!

the other side.

After Li Xiang provided Xie Mi with the sachet, his attention was attracted by the Dragon God Maid.

Because she was yelling.

"There is something about you that offends Lord Dragon God! Please throw it away quickly! I am already trying to persuade Lord Dragon God! Please hurry up!"

thing?

what?

How do I know what it is if you don’t explain it clearly?

Li Xiang gritted his teeth in anger, and the hostile gaze in the cloud became more and more obvious, as if he was about to launch a third attack at any time.

He had neither an artificial emerald nor a core of Deoxys, so how could he arouse Rayquaza's hostility and offend him?

What nonsense!

There's no need to blame someone if you want to, right?

Say so.

Before Xie Mi finished his transformation and before Mewtwo came, he had to throw things to the side one by one.

It was probably impossible to escape. This thousand-meter altitude was Rayquaza's territory. How far could he escape?

But there really wasn't much he could throw away. After throwing away his backpack and all the odds and ends including his wallet and keys, he only had protective clothing and the Poké Balls that housed the Blazing Roaring Tigers.

"Not these!"

The Dragon God's maid was still urging anxiously, but in the direction from which the voice came, blazing bright flames were burning crazily and might spray out at any time.

The warning is very obvious.

"I have nothing left!"

He swore harshly, and if he took off his protective clothing, he would have nothing. Besides, how could a piece of clothing offend Rayquaza?

"It could be an elf! You lost all the elf balls!"

The panicked tone of the Dragon God's maid continued, and this sentence made Li Xiang completely confused.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! What a beautiful idea! Let it fight! Tell it it is absolutely impossible!"

"That's right kora!" If you have the ability, let it fight kora! I'm afraid of you, kora! 』

The familiar snapping sound sounded.

Li Xiang turned his head and was surprised to find that the fat Xie Mi had turned into a slightly rounded puppy.

It has scarf-like red petals on its chest, its ears are like two small wings, its limbs are slender and its neck is exposed, and its face is full of warlike desire.

——Xiemi·arrogant and domineering·sky shape.
