Chapter 1704 - 1698: The Dragon of the Sky!

Chapter 1704: Chapter 1698: The Dragon of the Sky!

The Special Armor was also called Mental Armor precisely because it could inject Giovanni’s thoughts into Mewtwo’s body without obstruction.

But just now, when Arceus’s green ray illuminated Mewtwo’s body, it caused a self-awareness to be born in him that he originally had never possessed.

And when the target of the Special Armor developed self-awareness, he was no longer a living corpse that anyone could manipulate. After his thoughts were born, the first thing he did, also as an instinctive reaction, was expel Giovanni’s thoughts. That was the reason Giovanni screamed in pain like that.

Even with Giovanni’s willpower, an impact born from the deepest part of the brain was not something a human could easily endure. If he did not have the protection of the powers of the Viridian Forest, probably any ordinary person who replaced him would have ended up becoming an idiot.

But even without becoming an idiot, Giovanni’s spirit suffered a heavy blow.

It had to be said that this unconscious move from Arceus dealt Giovanni a fatal blow.

In reality, as the controller of the Special Armor, Giovanni knew very well that when they created Mewtwo, their intention was to prevent the birth of any self-awareness. But after summoning him and using him many times...

He discovered that Mewtwo’s self-awareness was inevitably being born. Even if it was only the slightest sign, he knew the result would be that the time during which he could control Mewtwo would become shorter and shorter.

Because of that, right after establishing Team Rainbow Rocket, he hurried to challenge the council Elder.

Armored Mewtwo was the strongest card in his hands. Even Mega Beedrill, in terms of strength, could not compare with armored Mewtwo.

Originally, he wanted to make a definitive ending.

He knew the council Elder had hidden cards, and they were very likely cards he had never seen.

At the same time, he had also prepared to face that challenge. But Arceus’s involuntary act directly cut all his preparations in half.

At that moment, his head hurt so much it seemed as if it would explode. How could he continue directing his Pokémon in battle? Much less in a situation where he lacked the important combat power of armored Mewtwo.

"Aaaaah!!!"

In the air, waves of psychic power accompanied Mewtwo’s uncontrolled screams of pain, making the entire space distort.

Rumble...

Together with Mewtwo’s earth-shaking roar, the entire enormous mountain of Mt. Silver began to tremble.

One had to know that this was Mt. Silver!

It was the core of the entire great Kanto-Johto region. If even Mt. Silver began to tremble, then, without a doubt, the surrounding areas must also have suffered tremors of different levels.

Moreover, as Mewtwo’s screams prolonged, the intensity of the shaking became greater and greater. It could be imagined that, if Mewtwo were allowed to continue going berserk without restraint, the entire great Kanto-Johto region could very likely be destroyed.

Of course, in such a situation, Mewtwo would be excessively releasing his enormous psychic power. Without a doubt, he himself would also collapse from using his abilities too much.

He would be like a night cherry blossom that, after blooming with the most dazzling brilliance, would quickly wither.

"Child, wake up."

Fortunately, Arceus awakened Mewtwo in that instant.

It stopped abruptly!

The intense psychic fluctuations suddenly stopped. Mewtwo’s gaze gradually recovered clarity, or rather, became confused.

"I... am... who? I... who am I?"

Mewtwo repeated constantly.

Crack, crack, crack...

Together with the armor on his body breaking nonstop, Mewtwo’s original appearance gradually showed itself before everyone.

That appearance that had a seven-part resemblance to Mew.

"This child... and... Mew..."

Arceus looked at Mewtwo and could not conceal its surprise.

However, Arceus did not finish its words. It suddenly turned its head and looked toward the League’s crowd. Almost without spending even a second, it found the place where Cain was.

That Cain hidden among the crowd, the only one who had a psychic link with its mind.

But aside from it, no one looked at Cain.

Because what was happening in front of everyone at that moment was too shocking.

In the place where Arceus was, among the clouds in the sky, within those white and flawless clouds, a green figure appeared.

It was a blue-green dragon surrounded by the clouds. It was the Dragon of the Sky, the ruler of the firmament.

Two green claws passed beside Arceus and caught that bright-red Draco Plate. Its two hands held it firmly, and its tail with red patterns performed a tail turn in the air without the slightest hesitation.

Dragon Tail!

The ruler of the firmament, the Dragon of the Sky, Rayquaza, suddenly appeared in the air!

From Arceus’s side, it caught that Draco Plate belonging to Arceus.

The complete Dragon-type Plate, compatible with Rayquaza’s attribute, the intact Draco Plate!

While Mewtwo unconsciously released his psychic power, Rayquaza took the opportunity to silently approach Arceus. Then, before Arceus could put away these precious Plates, it obtained one of the two Plates it desired most: the Draco Plate. And moreover, it was a complete and intact Draco Plate.

Seeing this scene, Arceus’s expression changed instantly. All the other Plates returned to its body, but the reality was that the Draco Plate had already fallen into Rayquaza’s hands.

Everyone looked at this scene with their mouths open.

Rayquaza, the Dragon of the Sky, the first-level Legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, had actually taken advantage of the creator god Arceus’s carelessness to snatch away one of its Plates.

Rayquaza swung its tail, turned, and disappeared directly into the sky.

Arceus hesitated for an instant. It looked at the council Elder, who was also somewhat stunned, and then at Giovanni, who was holding his head with a pained expression.

It made a decision instantly.

The Plates could not be lost!

Only a few existences understood what those unique Plates in the world represented exactly.

They were levers capable of moving the world. They absolutely could not be used for irrational purposes.

Back then, when Rayquaza asked it for the Sky Plate, Arceus had thought precisely of this. Because of that, it preferred to break the Sky Plate rather than let Rayquaza obtain it.

With a flash, it disappeared into the sky.

And Mewtwo, who noticed the situation in the air and was the only one with the possibility of following them, also moved, wanting to chase after them.

But before doing so, he appeared beside Cain.
