The four Pokémon each did their part. Infernape spat flames, wiping out every clone that tried to approach Rayquaza's tail.
Although Mega Garchomp was not particularly good at ranged special attacks, it was more than enough to deal with these clones.
Mega Gengar clung to Rayquaza's belly, firing an unending stream of Shadow Balls that greatly reduced the threat posed by the clones.
"Roar!!!"
With Ye Qing's help, Rayquaza gained far greater freedom of movement. He glided in front of Deoxys and unleashed a Hyper Beam brimming with destructive energy!
Deoxys dared not let his guard down. He immediately switched to Defense Forme and held his arms in front of himself, doing everything he could to withstand Rayquaza's attack.
With Deoxys and a large number of clones tied down by Rayquaza, the situation on the ground eased once again. The Arcanine pressed on one after another, searching everywhere for the item.
Without the clone army's help, Deoxys was no longer so composed when facing Rayquaza.
"Roar!"
Rayquaza raised his head and fired a full-power Hyper Beam at a tricky angle, striking Deoxys's legs.
The powerful attack instantly melted away Deoxys's legs.
However, an injury like this was not fatal. The purple crystal in Deoxys's chest gave off a faint glow, and beneath a mass of white light, his legs returned to normal in an instant.
But the ferocious Rayquaza paid no attention to that. Right now, he just wanted to see which was faster-Deoxys's regeneration or his destruction!
Ye Qing did not want to see Deoxys bullied five against one. He knew Deoxys actually meant no harm; his methods were just a little too extreme.
Now he could only hope everyone would find the other Deoxys quickly. Otherwise, this one really was no match for Rayquaza.
