Over the next three days, Heiduo never went out, focusing wholeheartedly on preparing for the Blackthorn Gym challenge. There was nothing worth seeing outside anyway. Rayquaza had long since slipped away, while that group of Dragonite and Dragonair had not left with her. Instead, they returned to Dragon's Den on the first day after the new Dragon King was born.
It was as if they had gone on a trip outside with their beloved Dragon God.
Rayquaza had probably really returned to Sky Pillar. She had not shown herself once in those three days. The next time they met might very well be during that regional catastrophe in the Ruby and Sapphire arc.
Rayquaza beating the living daylights out of "Can't Fly" and "Stinky Salted Fish."
Kiley had come to see Heiduo and invited him out to have fun, but Heiduo felt that festivals were all more or less the same and bluntly turned him down.
Bai Xue knocked on Heiduo's door on the last day. She would be heading to Hoenn with Wallace and Winona, where she planned to start her own career.
Only then did Heiduo learn that Bai Xue had already separated herself from both school and family. She intended to make a name for herself in Hoenn and build a little career of her own. Her reason for coming to Blackthorn City this time had also been to meet up with her best friend Winona before heading to Hoenn with her.
Who would have thought she was such an ambitious girl?
But Fortree City... hadn't it been affected by Groudon's drought?
In the games, Groudon's [Drought] Ability was just sunshine. In reality, though, it was a broken Ability capable of evaporating the water from half a region!
Those two Super-Ancient Pokémon were practically walking natural disasters.
