Chapter 1740 - 1734: The Great Swindler Returns to the Stage!

Chapter 1740: Chapter 1734: The Great Swindler Returns to the Stage!

Forcefully suppressing the unease in his heart, Rayquaza roared furiously at Cain, venting his current rage and frustration.

"RAAYYQUAAZZ!"

Cain received Rayquaza’s foul-smelling breath attack head-on without changing expression.

With a smile, he waved his hand toward Rayquaza.

"Don’t be so angry. Since you’ve come, why don’t we have a proper chat? I know that before long, you’ll have a small problem that you’ll need my help with."

A trace of doubt appeared in Rayquaza’s eyes. He did not know what kind of help he would need from this brat in front of him.

Cain smiled without speaking, gestured to Rayquaza, and then, riding Mega Salamence, flew toward the heights.

Mewtwo followed closely beside Cain. His eyes, when looking at Rayquaza, were filled with a desire to fight.

Mewtwo, because of his genes, was from the bottom of his heart a Pokémon who liked fighting very much, especially against opponents of similar strength. And at that moment, there was one right in front of him.

If not because Cain was stopping him, he would have already charged at Rayquaza to fight three hundred rounds.

Below, those present on the summit of Mt. Chimney looked at Cain and Rayquaza as they flew toward the sky.

"Cain, that bastard... he isn’t thinking of using Rayquaza’s help and then resolving this meteorite crisis alone, right?" Lance said, breaking the silence that belonged to them.

Hearing Lance’s words, for a moment, everyone did not know what to say.

Although with Cain’s current identity, in theory, he should not do something like that, in their hearts, everyone thought that possibility was very high.

"That stinking brat, even now he still wants to act tough by himself," old Matsuda, Cain’s master, finally said, setting the tone for this matter.

"But, speaking of which, his current strength is truly powerful. He actually managed to force Rayquaza to communicate with him on equal terms," Cynthia said from the side, her tone full of emotion.

Regarding Cain’s strength, everyone admired it very much.

However, very soon, everyone felt that one person’s state seemed somewhat strange.

They looked toward Steven.

They saw that his originally cold expression had disappeared. His brows were deeply furrowed, and his fists were also clenched tightly.

There was no need to ask for whom it was.

"Steven..." Diantha could not help opening her mouth, wanting to comfort him.

But she saw that on Steven’s previously tense face, an enormous smile appeared. He was smiling very happily, to the point that both of his eyes narrowed.

"That stinking brat... His speed of increasing strength is so fast. It seems that, in order to bring him back as soon as possible, I need to work even harder!"

"Being only Champion of the Hoenn region is still far from enough..."

(Translator: I don’t know about you all, but here Steven is giving me some very strong Naruto vibes. So... would Cain be Sasuke? And did this just turn into Pokémon Shippuden?)

Everyone heard Steven’s words.

But even so, they were a little worried about him.

At that moment, in reality, perhaps it would be better for Steven to release his emotions. Although now he carried a big smile on his face, his fists were still clenched tightly.

Old Matsuda also looked at Steven. He did not speak, only shook his head. A trace of inner struggle flashed in his eyes, but he soon suppressed it.

Samael, who was standing beside old Matsuda, gently patted his arm and slightly shook his head at him, indicating that he should not worry.

Old Matsuda also understood what Samael wanted to express. He nodded toward him, indicating that he knew his limits, and then raised his head to look at the sky.

At that moment, Cain and Rayquaza were about to disappear from everyone’s sight.

When no one was paying attention, there was deep concern in his eyes.

...

Cain and Rayquaza flew to an extremely high altitude. At that altitude, there were almost no Pokémon capable of living, so they did not have to worry about being disturbed.

"Rayyquazzz!"

Rayquaza roared impatiently at Cain.

Thanks to his psychic power, Cain could understand his meaning.

"Calm down. I already said there will be a problem in which you will necessarily have to receive my help. Don’t be impatient." The smile on Cain’s face did not change.

At such a high altitude, he was not even using psychic power. That showed that Cain’s current physical condition was not weak.

That was the result of his intentional training inside the Heaven Castle.

"Do you see that enormous meteorite coming from outer space?"

Cain pointed toward the night sky.

At this altitude, the meteorite coming from outer space toward Earth could be seen more and more clearly. Even with the naked eye, one could discover that its speed was very fast, and the change in size within the field of vision was visible to the naked eye.

Hearing Cain’s words, Rayquaza’s eyes showed disdain.

"You sought me out just to say this?" Rayquaza’s voice resounded in Cain’s mind.

"Yes. I imagine you can understand what kind of destruction this meteorite will bring to this planet, right?"

"So what if I can foresee that scene? In the end, it is a catastrophe that belongs to you humans. To me, it has no effect." The disdain in Rayquaza’s eyes became even more obvious. He had already begun to guess what Cain wanted him to do.

Rayquaza was capable of surviving in outer space.

"No, no, no. For you, it certainly will have no effect. After all, even in outer space, you can survive."

"But what I want to talk about is... the Pokémon inside that meteorite!" Cain waved his hand several times.

"Pokémon?"

Hearing that, Rayquaza was stunned.

The smile on Cain’s face became even wider.

He had finally taken the bait.

"That’s right. Inside that meteorite exists a Pokémon. A Pokémon that does not belong to Earth. A Pokémon born in outer space and with powerful strength."

"Or, more accurately, a Legendary Pokémon!"

"And you should know what a Legendary Pokémon born in outer space represents after receiving a divine function, right?" Cain’s tone was like that of a "teacher" patiently guiding someone.

Immediately, Rayquaza’s aura surged violently.
