The answer was soon revealed.
Xia You hurled the Great Ball in his hand high into the air. With a flash of blue light, a long, slender, dragonlike, snakelike Pokémon, its body gleaming ink-black, appeared high in the sky!
One glance was all it took. Shelly, Maxie, Archie, Matt, Courtney aboard the vessel, and even the Team Magma and Team Aqua members who had fallen into the water all recognized it.
Their mouths hung open and their eyes widened as they stared at the Pokémon in disbelief.
"R-Rayquaza!!!?"
It was simply too unbelievable, too insane. Who could have imagined this man would send out a Rayquaza!
