Meanwhile, beyond the planet.
An ordinary meteorite seemed to have been captured by the planet's gravity as it began falling toward the planet's surface.
Under normal circumstances, before entering the planet's atmosphere, a meteorite would generate intense heat from friction with the air, causing part of its outer layer to burn away.
But this meteorite was different.
A thin, glowing blue membrane protected the meteorite well, greatly reducing the loss of its outer layer.
But just as the meteorite finally broke through the atmosphere, a tardy figure came winding over.
The newcomer was Rayquaza, the "Dragon of the Heavens" and "God of the Sky," whose temper had recently been rather poor and who seemed to be going through menopause.
Its proud dragon eyes glared down at the meteorite as it let out a roar.
"Roarrr—!"
(I said before that anyone entering Blue Star without permission had better be prepared to bear my wrath—!)
The meteorite... or rather, Deoxys, observed Rayquaza through its special field of vision. Rayquaza had already assumed a battle stance and seemed ready to activate its Heavenly Emperor Organ and complete Mega Evolution at any moment, radiating overwhelming dominance.
Still maintaining its core-protecting meteorite shell, Deoxys did not use its usual Aurora language to talk past Rayquaza like before.
Instead, it chose the method Su Hao and Mewtwo had taught it, awkwardly using Psychic-type power to establish a Telepathy link with Rayquaza.

Deoxys tried offering a friendly greeting first.
Rayquaza: "????"

Already irritated lately by all sorts of trivial nonsense, Rayquaza finally could not hold back any longer.
With an enraged roar, the airflow around Rayquaza surged, and its entire body was bathed in intense light as it completed Mega Evolution!
Its golden particle-like tendrils
