Rayquaza lets out a roar of triumph, then flies back over to Stratus, a huge grin on his face.

Stratus: <...I'm...I'm speechless.>

Rayquaza: <I'm not really surprised.>

Stratus turns and gazes off into the distance, in the direction Foreign!Salamence flew off in.

Stratus: <He's going to be okay, isn't he?>

Rayquaza nods, reaching down to pat the Dragonite on the shoulder.

Rayquaza: <He'll be fine, I'm sure. I got the impression when battling that it would take more than that to take him down for good.>

Stratus frowns, still rather concerned, but decides to trust the sky-deity's judgment.

Stratus: <If you say so...> Flies up to Rayquaza's head. <So, did you enjoy that?>

Rayquaza nods, giving Stratus a big smile.

Rayquaza: <I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. I never normally fight for leisure, only to do my job...>

The Dragon pauses, thinking.

<...I want to do it again.> To Stratus. <Would you like to battle with me?>

Stratus nearly jumps out of his scales in fight.

Stratus: <Whoa, whoa, whoa! You just had a fight! You may be immortal, but you shouldn't get too carried away!>

Rayquaza frowns at this, then nods in agreement.

Rayquaza: <You're right, I probably should pace myself a bit. I should take a five minute break, at least...>

Stratus: <What?!>

Rayquaza: Smirks. <Only joking.>

Skies of a Noncanon region south of Angela

(totally not Poké-Mexico! I swear!)

Local!Mence: -flies without control, barreling: <.....wwooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa....>

Crewe follows Jab, and resumes wandering about the city.

I see what you did there.

Airship

Okay, lead the way, Breeze. -follows Breeze down the corridor-

Apikale looks up into the skies of LA, and sees a Salamance propelled at rather high speed.

-Jab wanders-

Airbase

-as does Breeze. He probably shouldn't be leading-

Wheeeee~ APIKALEEEEE!!!!!!~

Skies above a large sea

A flock of Wingull are flying south very slowly, not concerned about things... when suddenly a Salamence flies past them.

Foreign!Mence: <.....aaaaaaaaaeeeeooooooooo...>

Wingull Leader -blinks, shudders: <Hurry guys! He'll beat us to the food! Forget the V formation! Assume...>

v Formation!

Jet

-hears the Grunt-

Oh really? Do you know where this girl might be?

-Notices Rayquaza in the window-

You! Get him!

-Several grunts run out onto the deck to try and capture Rayquaza-

Latias: -flies up into the clouds, then back and forth above the sky fortress, casting a shadow over it each time-

Airship

...Fine. Forget it. -goes to front and decides to lead-

Stay on the right. -comes to a fork-

Okay. Right. Let's go right. -does so-

Airship

-shrugs and follows Malgent-

Airbase

Random female Ozone grunt 1: Well, if I had to guess by the presence of the Rayquaza out there, she is probably somewhere here in Mossdeep.

Mossdeep

Sierra: They fell for it!

Vyvyan: <Great! Now, let's do this!>

- Rayquaza!Vyvyan flies towards the airbase, making sure to stay out of sight -

Sierra: (smiles) You're pretty good at flying.

Vyvyan: (would blush if he were capable of doing so in his current form) <You think?>

Sierra: (nods) Yeah.

- The two stay close to under the ship, trying to look for a possible way in -

Vyvyan: <So... How should we do this without giving ourselves away?>

Sierra: Hmm... I see something over there. (points towards the door to the Cargo bay)

Vyvyan: (flies over to examine it) <Guess I'll have to try to get this open while making as little noise as possible... Here goes...> (fires an attack at the door, blowing it open with a bit more force than expected)

Sierra: Whoa!

Vyvyan: <Told you I hadn't quite figured out how to judge the power of my attacks...> (shakes head) <Well, let's get inside, Latias should cover for us.>

- The two head inside -

-Archie and Maxie are startled by the door beingblasted open-

-Manages to make it to the ladder-

Come on!

-Starts climbing up-

Airship

-leads himself and Every into a large room filled with Ozone grunts-

...Oh.

Evergrande

- Follows Tagg -

Airbase

- Sierra notices Archie and Maxie upon entering, while Rayquaza!Vyvyan quickly tries check to see how high up they are to see if that hole made from breaking the door should be fixed up quickly -

Sierra: (waves awkwardly at Archie and Maxie) Oh, um... Hi? Don't tell anyone we're in here, okay?

Vyvyan: (notices the two) <...! Maxie!?>

Sierra: (hears Vyvyan) Huh? (looks at Maxie) That's Maxie, the former leader of Team Magma?

Vyvyan: (nods) <Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that other guy is Archie.>

Sierra: Huh... What are you two doing in here?

-Manages to make it up-

Thank goodness.

Cofagrigus: <And don't come back!>

Latias: -uses Psychic blasts to mimc Rayquaza's attacks; not hitting the base, just aiming close enough to scare them-

Airbase

........

Arceus dammit.

-sends out Diesel in addition to Breeze-

Okay, let's do this...

Airship

Gah, I don't have any of my team with me! I left Xakk outside and Fido is outside Mezzo's inn room!

-deafening crash as Xakk bursts from behind them-

What — Nevermind, I don't want to know. Good that you came, though!

Xakk: <Now you're happy, eh? Maybe I should follow you more often.>

Airbase

-is battling a group of Zubat (and two Skarmory) using Diesel and Breeze-

Less talk, more fight!

Airbase

Xakk: <The demand of the century!> -fire blasts a Dratini-

Mossdeep Sea

After a radio call to the Hoenn Conference offices some 20 minutes ago, three ships of the Hoenn National Guard (HNG) appear in the horizon to the SW, heading towards Mossdeep from Sootopolis. They are followed by an assortment of policemen and Ace Trainers surfing on their water mons.

Ozone Airship, Cargo Bay

The two former Ozone Team leaders look up in amazement as a Rayquaza enters the room. A little one, but that's besides the point.

Archie: "...Arceus da-" — tries to point at the Rayquaza but he is tied.

Maxie: "...W-w-what the heck is going on?" — looks up at Rayquaza, not noticing the girl — "The-the... the..."

Archie -bumps Maxie as he can: "...Wait, you there, girl! ...You know us?" — tries to move to show up his shackles — "We-we've been doing nothing wrong, we swear!"

Maxie: "Friggin' zealots went out of control! They misunderstood what we were trying to do! There was nothing about harming Legendaries we swear!"

Airbase

It worries me how happy your Hydreigon is to kill things...

Diesel: <Just roll with it; we're winning!> -Bug Buzzes a group of Zubat, leaving them open to a Psychic from Breeze-

Airbase

At the moment I'm actually enthused by his sociopathy and lust for violence. -Xakk uses Draco Meteor at a Dragonite-
