Chapter 48 - 7 - Rayquaza?!

Walking in the roads, Rico, Ash, and their Pokémon are crossing through town. Amazed by how Ash is the actor of the movie he watched, Rico thought, "I can't believe he was the actor as Blue Ninja." After it, Rico asked Ash, "Um, Ash?"

"Yes?" Ash replied in positivity.

"What do you want to be in the future?" Rico asked him. They all stopped walking; Ash then turned to Rico, and responded with raising his fist in coolness, "Oh, I went to be a Pokémon Master." His Pikachu then responded in coolness.

"Oh, I see," Rico replied in rising, "That's nice and cool."

"Yup," Ash happily replied, "How about you?" Thinking about this, Rico answered, "Oh, I...um...oh, I wanted to be the champion of the Philas Region, my home region." Riolu then responded in happiness and coolness.

"Wow, that's awesome," Ash replied in interesting, "That's excellent for you."

"Yeah," Rico replied while scratching his head a bit, "Anyway, I'm...I'm Rico Titus. You call me Rico for short;" he then offered Ash a handshake. Accepting it, Ash brightly responded, "Nice to meet you, Rico, I'm Ash Ketchum and this is my partner, Pikachu;"he then referred his partner to Pikachu. His Pikachu then responded in brightness.

"Wow, I have a new friend now," Rico thought in stunning and amazement, "I think not just a friend, but also an ally and mentor."

Later at midday, at a hill, as the winds blow through the scene, Rico, Ash, and their Pokémon are lying on the cool, green grass gazing at the clear sky with a few, white clouds sailing through the clear horizon. They were placing their hands behind their heads in relaxing and enjoyment.

"So, Ash?" Rico asked him.

"Yes?" Ash replied.

"How many Pokémon do you have?" Rico asked him a question. Thinking about this, Ash answered, "Many, many, many, many, many, many Pokémon." Shocked by this, Rico get up and sit down straight.

"What?" he asked Ash in shock, "You have lots of Pokémon?" Getting up and sit down straight, Ash scratched his head a bit, and responded, "Yeah, I lot. Plus, I have 30 Tauros." The last part shocks Rico so much.

"What?" Rico retorted sharply in shock, "But how?"

"I caught them using 30 Safari Balls at a Safari Park," Ash happily replied, "And for the others, I went to different regions for journeys."

"Oh, okay, that's cool," Rico replied as he calms down.

"So, how about yours?" Ash brightly asked him, "How many Pokémon do you have?" Thinking about this, Rico show Ash his three lifted fingers, and answered, "Three of them;" he then fold his fingers in finishing the numbering.

"Wow, three of them?" Ash replied in amazement, "Now that's a beginner's luck." His Pikachu then responded in happy coolness.

"Can you show it to me?" Ash continued in asking.

"Sure!" Rico retorted sharply to say yes. He then stand up, get the two remaining Poké Balls, and called Litleo and Piplup, while brightly shouting, "Come out, everybody!" Litleo and Piplup then came out of their Poke Balls and they show up in front of Ash and Pikachu.

"Meet...my Pokémon," Rico introduced his team to them. Amazed by this, Ash commented in enthusiasm, "Wow, a Litleo and a Piplup? That's so awesome." His Pikachu then greeted them in friendliness. In response, Litleo and Piplup greeted it back in happiness. In amazement, Ash picked Litleo up and commented, "Wow, you're so cute."

"Litleo!" Litleo happily responded with cuteness. Ash then put Litleo down on the ground softly and gently, and responded to Rico in coolness, "Well, that's a cute Pokémon. But I had a strong Pokémon here." He then called his Greninja out, and exclaimed "Greninja, come out!" His Greninja then come out of its Poké Ball, and stand on the ground in serious coolness.

"Meet..." Ash introduced Greninja in coolness, "... Greninja, my ninja Pokémon." His Greninja then responded in serious coolness.

"Wait, I seen that Pokémon before," Rico commented in stunning upon seeing this Pokémon again, "Wait a minute, are you the-"

"Yup," Ash retorted sharply in positivity, "You guessed it right. I'm the Blue Ninja." His Pikachu then responded in serious coolness.

"What the...?" Rico responded in stunning. Then in amazement, "Wow! I can't believe you are the Blue Ninja all along? Man, I met you numerous times in the past, and you helped me in some attacks by Red Eye. Thank you!" He then hugged Ash in embrace.

"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome," Ash replied while trying separation Rico from him. Rico then discharged from hugging.

"So, do you have any other Pokémon?" Rico asked him in positivity, "Any much stronger."

"Oh, I have one," Ash retorted in positivity, "But this isn't just a rare Pokémon." He then called out Rayquaza, the Flying- and Dragon-type Pokémon, and the Legendary Pokémon who rules the skies. It then come out of its Master Ball and hovered above the ground dozens of feet away.

"Meet Rayquaza, the Legendary Pokémon," Ash introduced Rayquaza to Rico. Rayquaza then responded in roaring. This huge Pokémon caused Rico to transition his positivity to fear, losing his color from head to toe. Snapping out and restoring his color back, Rico exclaimed in shock, "What? R-Rayquaza? But..h-how? Rayquaza is a Legendary Pokémon!"

"Arceus let me to keep it," Ash explained briefly, "Because I am worthy enough to keep it, and also to protect it from bad guys."

"Oh," Rico replied sharply while calming down, "That's why." Then in an excited, enthusiastic state, "Wow! I can't believe you owned a Legendary Pokémon!" Then to Rayquaza in calming, positivity, "Wow, nice to meet you, Rayquaza." Rico's Pokémon then greeted the Legendary in response. Rayquaza then responded in roaring greeting, and then flew high in the air, showing its power of hovering, and make an infinity loop in one loop. Rico and his team are amazed by this while Ash crossed his arms in impressing and his team are watching as well. After this, Rayquaza returned to its original position, being dozens of feet away from the ground.

"Now you see the power of Rayquaza," Ash said to Rico. He then called Rayquaza back to its Master Ball.

"It's... It's so beautiful and awesome," Rico replied. This follows a short silence with Pidgeys flying across the sky. This was a revelation of a Legendary Pokémon owned by Ash Ketchum.
