I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon Chapter 1001: Gone?

The sudden appearance of Rayquaza and Deoxys and their unexpected battle plunged the entire Rustboro City into chaos, with people everywhere trying to escape for their lives.

Especially in the vicinity of the battlefield, the collapse of the buildings resulted in a significant number of casualties. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Roxanne imdiately began rescuing the injured.

When Rayquaza struck the building, Roxanne had already ridden her Flying Pokémon to leave the battle area. Both Yuichii, Lila, and Principal Amuro were safe and were currently assisting Roxanne in rescuing the affected citizens.

Roxanne, as the Gym Leader of Rustboro City, had an undeniable responsibility to safeguard the lives of its citizens.

Thankfully, the Rustboro City police departnt responded swiftly, dispatching a large number of officers to evacuate and rescue the citizens. Additionally, it was fortunate that the building itself was part of the League, and many of the occupants were Trainers. When the accident occurred, they all had the ability to protect themselves. In the case of a regular building, the death toll would have been much higher.

To save their lives, most Trainers who had been watching the battle rode their Pokémon to a safe distance. However, Yuga, who was worried about Chicho, remained behind.

"Gengar, go call Dusknoir!" Yuga, gazing at Rayquaza, which had once again knocked down Deoxys, spoke earnestly and summoned Gengar.

"Gengar!"

Gengar co out from the shadow space, its face devoid of its usual humor. It nodded seriously at Yuga before vanishing.

Knowing that Dusknoir was stationed on the ghost ship just outside Rustboro City, Yuga felt sowhat relieved. With Dusknoir's presence, at least safety could be guaranteed.

Though he didn't understand how Deoxys had provoked Rayquaza, Yuga couldn't just stand by due to Chicho's involvent.

In the high skies, Rayquaza grew angrier with each strike, showing no rcy in its battle with Deoxys. Furthermore, Chicho also joined the fight once again.

Deoxys was its teacher, and when the teacher was being bullied, Chicho couldn't stand idly by.

Having been taught by Deoxys for a considerable amount of ti, Chicho had indeed beco quite powerful. Otherwise, at the beginning, Rayquaza wouldn't have suffered such significant losses under the combined assault of Chicho and Deoxys.

In its current state, Chicho had the strength to participate in battles of this level. If it was before, it wasn't qualified at all, even as a support Pokémon.

...

Chicho (Light Clay)

Type: Psychic

Gender: Female

Moves: Confusion, Gravity, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell, Synchronize, Shadow Ball, Safeguard, Uproar, Psyshock, Clam Mind, Light Screen, Psychic, Reflect, Wish, Foresight, Teleport, Psycho Boost, Skill Swap, Double Team, Sleep, Charge Beam, Dream Eater, Trick Room, Recover

...

Yuga didn't know how Deoxys had trained Chicho, but its level was a bit exaggerated. Among Yuga's current main Pokémon, besides his Champion level Lapras, Chicho had the highest level.

Chicho's level was only one part of its battle capabilities. Yuga had seen its support abilities significantly improve while assisting Deoxys in the battle. Chicho had developed its healing, defensive, and control abilities to a remarkable extent.

Otherwise, Deoxys would have been defeated by now.

Yuga knew that this particular Deoxys was exceptionally strong. It wasn't weaker than the Celebi that had transported him through ti. However, he could also see that Deoxys wasn't inclined to truly confront Rayquaza. It held back in several instances, which had put it in a disadvantageous position.

Otherwise, even if Deoxys couldn't defeat Rayquaza, it wouldn't be in such dire straits now.

The enraged Rayquaza presented a considerable challenge for Deoxys. If it were possible, Deoxys would want to teleport away imdiately, but it couldn't do that.

It had to retrieve what Rayquaza had taken; otherwise, it would be too late!

Boom!

A Flathrower forced Deoxys to retreat. Yuga noticed that Rayquaza had begun its Dragon Dance.

Deoxys's Self-Recovery was becoming increasingly strained. Each instance of self-recovery consud a significant amount of energy, and if used excessively, even a Legendary Pokémon like Deoxys couldn't bear it. Thus, any injuries that weren't life-threatening were handled by Chicho's Heal Pulse.

Seeing Rayquaza perform Dragon Dance, Deoxys's imdiate reaction was to stop it. It already couldn't defeat Rayquaza, and now it would get stronger with Dragon Dance?

But unfortunately, Deoxys failed to prevent Rayquaza from performing Dragon Dance because Rayquaza used Dragon Dance and Hurricane simultaneously. The dense wind wall blocked all of Deoxys's attacks from the outside.

Rayquaza's Dragon Dance was swift. In the blink of an eye, it completed six rounds of Dragon Dance, the maximum limit of enhancent. After Dragon Dance, Rayquaza's attack and speed were greatly boosted, and it imdiately launched an attack on Deoxys.

Rayquaza used Extre Speed while raising its two enormous dragon claws charged with dragon-type energy to strike Deoxys.

Deoxys, currently in Defense Form, couldn't dodge the dragon claws due to its slower speed. It quickly erected a Reflect barrier to aid its defense.

Fortunately, Chicho's reaction was swift. When Rayquaza's dragon claws struck the Reflect barrier in front of Deoxys, Chicho imdiately raised another Reflect barrier behind the first one.

Two Reflect barriers shattered consecutively. Deoxys, in its Defense Form, was knocked back, but since it was in Defense Form, and thanks to the support of the two Reflect barriers, it wasn't severely injured.

The mont it was struck back, Deoxys switched from Defense Form to Attack Form and used its signature move, Psycho Boost, to rush towards Rayquaza.

Chicho wasn't idle either. When Deoxys launched its attack, it imdiately used Gravity. Rayquaza, rembering its previous experience, felt the helplessness it had experienced before.

This made Rayquaza furious!

Rayquaza resisted Chicho's Gravity with much greater intensity this ti, and it beca agitated with anger. The Chicho only restrained it for two or three seconds before breaking free.

Even though two to three seconds might seem short, it provided Deoxys with enough ti to act. After the successful Psycho Boost hit on Rayquaza, Deoxys took the opportunity to deliver several Psychic power.

Rayquaza was now serious injured.

Unlike Deoxys and Chicho, Rayquaza didn't have any recovery moves. Once it was injured, it stayed injured.

Initially, Rayquaza had underestimated a Pokémon like Chicho. But after suffering two consecutive disadvantages under Chicho's Gravity, its anger was evident when it turned to face Chicho.

Yuga, observing from a distance, realized that the red mist rising from Rayquaza ant it was about to activate its Outrage move!

Yuga was just about to shout a warning to Chicho, but Rayquaza was already dashing like lightning. If hit by this move Outrage, Chicho wouldn't stand a chance.

Chicho was so startled by Rayquaza's move that it montarily forgot to evade. Of course, even if it rembered, it wouldn't have had ti to dodge!

Seeing Chicho in danger, Yuga felt a chill down his spine. His heart was gripped tightly, as if by a vice.

In the nick of ti, Deoxys positioned itself in front of Chicho.

Boom!

Rayquaza hit Deoxys precisely. Deoxys's body was shattered, and its lower half vanished.

However, this wasn't the end. Once Outrage activated, it wouldn't stop until it struck Deoxys two or three tis in a row. Rayquaza didn't give Deoxys a chance to use Self-Recovery.

Boom! Boom!

Under Rayquaza's successive attacks, Deoxys disappeared, leaving only a purple crystal plumting toward the ground.

Witnessing this, Yuga was dumbfounded.

Deoxys... was gone?

The ordeal wasn't over yet. After Outrage, Rayquaza fell into a state of confusion and began indiscriminate attacks. Its first target was the closest Pokémon, Chicho.

As a torrent of red flas spewed from Rayquaza's mouth, its target was Chicho.

Yuga was filled with panic; he was too far to help Chicho.

But then, at that mont, nurous Shadow Balls appeared, canceling out Rayquaza's Flathrower.

Seeing this, Yuga felt a sense of relief; Dusknoir had arrived.

Sure enough, not far away, the Ghost Ship floated in the sky, and Dusknoir, along with Ghost-type Pokémon floating around the ship.

"Dragonite, let's go!" Yuga exclaid with joy to his Dragonite, who carried him.

The initial attack missed, and in its state of confusion, Rayquaza began self-inflicting harm, worsening its already severe injuries.

No one tried to stop Rayquaza from self-harming because this was a good thing for the chaotic Rustboro City and, particularly, for Chicho at the center of the event.

Due to the collateral damage from the battle between Rayquaza and Deoxys, this section of Rustboro City had already turned into a wasteland.

However, Yuga hadn't expected that after a bout of self-inflicted injuries, Rayquaza would remain disoriented and seem determined to destroy Rustboro City beneath it.

Yuga had just landed from his Dragonite onto the deck of the Ghost Ship, observing Rayquaza's intent to unleash Dragon Pulse upon the city below. He imdiately directed his words to Dusknoir and the Ghost-type Pokémon, "Stop it!"

As his words echoed, the Ghost Ship released nurous green chains. These chains, like agile green serpents, tightly entwined around Rayquaza's neck, claws, abdon, and tail.

This was the work of Dhelmise!

With a resounding clatter, the chains tightened, forcing Rayquaza's head upward into the sky. It unleashed Dragon Pulse, and Rustboro City was spared.

Dhelmise's chains continued to constrict, even squeezing Rayquaza's wounds, eliciting painful roars.

However, Dhelmise was ultimately just an Elite level Pokémon, and its Anchor Shoot was barely holding Rayquaza. The enraged Rayquaza snapped the chains apart like brittle iron.

Yuga even heard Dhelmise's muffled groan. The Pokémon was definitely hurt this ti.

But Chicho provided support with its Gravity move, immobilizing Rayquaza again.

Perhaps due to its severe injuries, Yuga could clearly see Rayquaza becoming sowhat feeble in its struggles. Nevertheless, Chicho continued to maintain the Gravity.

At this mont, Dusknoir entered the scene with so of its more powerful subordinates. Yuga sent out his Lapras, Charizard, Dragonite, and Florges.

Dusknoir, Dragonite, Charizard, Lapras, and Florges were tasked with dealing with Rayquaza. anwhile, Dusknoir's subordinates dispersed to deal with the aftermath of the battle on the ground, preventing further damage to the already chaotic Rustboro City.

At this mont, Yuga only hoped that they could wear down the heavily injured Rayquaza. Under normal circumstances, he would have stayed far away from it.

With a worried expression on his face, Yuga watched the impending catastrophe from above, completely unaware that Gengar had already returned to his side.

"Gengar, Gengar!" Gengar cried out.

Gengar's call brought Yuga's attention back, and he saw the purple crystal in Gengar's arms.

"Did you... rescue Deoxys?" Yuga asked in surprise.

"Gengar!" Gengar nodded proudly.

"Long ti no see!"

At this mont, a consciousness suddenly reached Yuga's mind. He instantly understood that Deoxys was alive.

"Deoxys, are you alright?" Yuga shouted with joy, genuinely relieved that Deoxys hadn't perished at the hands of Rayquaza.

A faint purple energy orb floated out of the purple crystal. Yuga received another stream of consciousness.

"I'm fine, just didn't expect to run into you."

With confirmation that Deoxys was indeed unhard, Yuga breathed a sigh of relief. He learned from Deoxys that although its physical body was gone, its energy core was intact. With so ti and effort, it could be revived.

However, this kind of revival would co at the cost of a significant reduction in Deoxys's power.

"Gengar, you've been a great help. I promise to reward you handsoly when we get back," Yuga praised Gengar.

If Gengar hadn't swiftly brought Deoxys's energy core back, soone else could have taken it, making it nearly impossible to recover. Without a physical body, Deoxys would be helpless.

Gengar scratched his head, feeling sowhat embarrassed at the praise.

"By the way, how did you end up fighting Rayquaza with Chicho?" Yuga inquired, puzzled by Deoxys's situation. Deoxys should have been more cautious with Yuga's warning.

"This is a long story," Deoxys began.

After Deoxys explained the situation, Yuga quickly understood what had happend.

During their travels across the Hoenn region, Deoxys had been nurturing Chicho, treating it as a young protegé. Most of Deoxys's treasured items had been shared with Chicho, which explained Chicho's rapid growth in strength.

Recently, they had reached the polar region of Hoenn, where they discovered another Deoxys's energy core at the bottom of an ice lake. It was slightly damaged but still functional and could recover with ti.

Deoxys wanted to care for this fellow mber of its species and keep it safe since it couldn't do anything by itself, given its physical body had been lost. It was risky to leave it outside.

However, after retrieving the energy core, a Rayquaza suddenly descended from the sky. Deoxys couldn't match Rayquaza's strength and was forced into a battle. During the struggle, they flew unknowingly close to Rustboro City.

Deoxys genuinely didn't want to antagonize Rayquaza, but it couldn't abandon its fellow species. Rayquaza's diet consisted of celestial debris from space, and if Deoxys didn't rescue its kin in ti, the kin would be consud by Rayquaza.

Hearing Deoxys's explanation, Yuga felt a bit overwheld. Could it be that the energy core Deoxys had retrieved was the sa one featured in the original movie? Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Under normal circumstances, without Deoxys's intervention, the energy core would have been taken back to LaRousse City by a research team. When Ash and his friends passed through LaRousse City, they would have eventually rescued and revived it.

After defeating the energy core turned into Deoxys, Rayquaza should have been searching for it in the vicinity, and if it couldn't find it, it would have left on its own. Who could have anticipated that Deoxys would fish it out?

Was this a case of "good intentions gone awry"?

It's true that this situation might have prevented the chaos in LaRousse City later on. After all, in the original movie, Rayquaza battled two Deoxys, creating quite a spectacle!

Unfortunately, Rustboro City has now suffered as a result.

One thing that can be certain is that the Deoxys Yuga knows is not the sa as the one that saved the energy core in the movie. Their arrival tis in the Pokémon world differ.

According to the movie's storyline, that Deoxys is most likely still in space. The Deoxys Yuga knows has been in the Pokémon world for many years, having assimilated into the Pokémon world over ti and lost its alien presence, making it almost undetectable to Rayquaza under normal circumstances.

Rayquaza serves as the guardian of the atmosphere in the Pokémon world, and it views all outsiders as potential threats. This explains why it relentlessly pursued Deoxys, despite Deoxys having no ill intent towards the Pokémon world.

It's simply Rayquaza's duty to protect the Pokémon world, and this rigid adherence to its duty has helped keep the Pokémon world safe from external threats for a long ti.

"The top priority now is to calm down Rayquaza's anger, otherwise if this continues, Rustboro City will be unable to hold on." Yuga said worriedly.

The city lacked strong trainers, and during such an ergency, only the police station and the local gym leaders were assisting in evacuating people. Even those looking to take advantage of the chaos had retreated after looking how intense previous battles was.

Yuga realized that even if not for Chicho, he wouldn't wanted to face Rayquaza.

"Please help rescue my kin, and I will definitely repay you in the future!" Deoxys' consciousness ca to him again.

"I'll try my best." Yuga sighed.

Not to ntion that Chicho has offended Rayquaza, but he cannot just sit idly after knowing Deoxys's unswerving care and training for Chicho during this period.
