"Ri?!"
Riolu was just as stunned by the Draco Meteor that had fallen from the sky. Instinctively, he looked up at the Dragon Pokémon soaring overhead.
There was another powerhouse here?
It was so far away that his own aura was nowhere near strong enough to detect its presence.
If it were an enemy, I probably wouldn't even have had time to react to that attack...
What terrifying strength!
Watching that graceful figure in the sky, Qingyu sank into thought.
If Eevee's earlier Sketch of this Black Rayquaza could still be chalked up to coincidence, then this second encounter definitely couldn't be an accident.
Not to mention how it had "thoughtfully" fired off a Draco Meteor just as he was about to be in danger, knocking out Houndoom in one hit.
Qingyu seriously suspected that this Rayquaza had been creepily watching him the whole time...
But why?
He couldn't quite figure out how he had gotten involved with Rayquaza in the first place.
After meeting Qingyu's blank gaze for a few seconds, Rayquaza suddenly turned its head away and swayed with a decidedly haughty air, soon disappearing from sight.
