Purple light flared around Rayquaza. Faced with the meteor hurtling down from the sky, it neither dodged nor retreated, instead becoming a purple arrow that shot upward to meet the enormous rock head-on!
With a flash of light, the meteor and Rayquaza finally collided. Fierce winds and the impact sent dust and rubble flying across the ground. The shock wave hurled fragments against Naisha's protective barrier, and the damage nearly drained her psychic power in an instant!
