Little by little, the wind stopped.
At the same time, that represented the end of the Sky Festival.
But, unlike previous editions, in this Sky Festival, a Pokémon had finally managed to break through.
"Great sky... guide us in this vast blue world..."
On the altar of the sky, the prayers of the Sky Clan continued echoing without end.
Ruuum, ruuum!
Accompanied by the voices of the prayer, the entire altar began to tremble violently.
In the next instant, they saw a beam of light suddenly descend from the sky, directly enveloping the whole altar.
Under that white light, everyone felt their vision blur.
When he opened his eyes again, Ethan discovered that the entire environment around him had changed.
"This is... a ruin?"
Seeing the somewhat deteriorated ruins around him, Ethan was startled.
Looking around, he quickly saw the murals on the walls, which belonged precisely to Rayquaza.
It was evident that those ruins were the place where Rayquaza had once lived. They were true ruins of a first-rate Legendary Pokémon.
"A miracle! It's a miracle!"
The patriarch of the Sky Clan became excited.
Trembling, he reached out to stroke the walls around him.
"This is incredible."
"The Flying-type energy in this place is very intense!"
Immediately afterward, some Trainers discovered what was special about those ruins and began to exclaim.
Seeing this, some Trainers even directly released their Flying-type Pokémon, letting them practice there.
A sacred training place like this was not something one often found.
But just as those Trainers wanted to act, the members of the Sky Clan stopped them.
The current Ruins of the Sky hid many secrets. If those Pokémon accidentally damaged them during their training, it would be a problem.
Seeing this, although the Trainers were somewhat reluctant, they still obeyed the Sky Clan's prohibition.
However, as compensation, the Sky Clan promised that once the place was properly developed, it would allow those Trainers to enter and train there. In addition, the Sky Clan would also compensate those Trainers with some additional resources.
"Flygon, how do you feel?"
At that moment, in the entire place, the only Pokémon still allowed to be out was Flygon.
After all, the fact that they could reach those Ruins of the Sky was completely thanks to Flygon.
"Flyyggnn!"
Flygon nodded, spreading the wings on its back.
When it used its Levitate ability, Ethan felt his body being slowly lifted.
Immediately afterward, he floated slowly onto Flygon's back, and from above, he looked over the entire ruin.
"Rayquaza."
"What a pity that it's only a dwelling."
Seeing this, Ethan also shook his head slightly.
He simply did not know whether they could discover some secrets about Rayquaza there.
If they managed to find Rayquaza thanks to this, it would be an extraordinary discovery.
...
After the Ruins of the Sky were discovered, the true exploration began.
Because of the special role Ethan had played this time, Dragon Valley and the Pokémon Researchers Guild also joined the exploration.
Although the Sky Clan was not very willing, Ethan's identity was truly very special.
In addition, Dragon Valley and the Pokémon Researchers Guild also pressed step by step in this matter, so in the end the Sky Clan could only accept by force.
As the key figure in the matter, the benefits Ethan obtained were naturally enormous.
Among them were a large number of resources and inherited knowledge of the Flying and Dragon types. Both points were of enormous benefit to Flygon. After all, the Sky Clan and Dragon Valley could be considered the greatest forces linked to the Flying type and the Dragon type.
For its part, the Pokémon Researchers Guild also allocated a large amount of research resources, making the study of Life Transition advance much more smoothly.
...
"Flygon, how do you feel?"
After returning to Solaria Town, Ethan began to check Flygon's condition.
Before, when they were in Skydrake City, he had already vaguely felt that Flygon was different.
The most obvious point was that Flygon's mastery over the Levitate ability had become extremely terrifying.
In addition, Flygon seemed to have vaguely acquired the ability to control air currents.
That control over currents was not like before, when it could only perceive and influence them; now it could directly generate air currents through a mysterious force.
"Flyyggnn!"
Hearing Ethan's words, Flygon nodded excitedly.
Then, a sly look suddenly appeared in its eyes. Immediately afterward, under Ethan's puzzled gaze, it spat a green scale from its mouth!
This scene happened to be seen by Charizard, who could not help patting its belly, remembering that time at the bottom of the volcano when it found the Mega Stone.
"Did you find this scale in the Ruins of the Sky?"
Ethan's eyes shone, and then his heart began to beat violently.
A mysterious scale found in the Ruins of the Sky, that is, in the place where Rayquaza had once lived.
This could not help making him suspect that this scale was a scale left behind by Rayquaza!
"Good work, Flygon."
Ethan received the mysterious scale with some excitement and, before anything else, praised Flygon.
As the first Pokémon to enter the Ruins of the Sky, Flygon had directly taken advantage of that to explore the ruins, and had even found that mysterious scale. It was truly too clever. It had to be praised properly.
"Flyyggnn!"
Flygon cried out very happily.
Although it did not know what that mysterious scale was, it could also feel that it was not something ordinary.
Without hesitation, Flygon decided to hide the scale.
Immediately afterward, it remembered the way Charizard, Lucario, and the others hid their Mega Stones, so it also swallowed the scale directly.
"Rayquaza's scale."
"And also Flygon's ability to master air currents."
"If I'm not mistaken, Flygon's ability to control the currents is due to the environment in which it evolved."
"That is Mega Rayquaza's exclusive ability, Delta Stream!"
Ethan looked at the scale in his hand and, recalling the abilities Flygon had acquired after evolving, one idea after another appeared in his mind.
If his guess was correct, could Flygon rely on this Rayquaza scale to master the true Delta Stream ability?
Thinking of this, Ethan suddenly let out a silent laugh.
Delta Stream was Mega Rayquaza's exclusive ability. Basically, it was impossible for Flygon to master it.
But if it only used the Levitate ability to master similar capacities, such as the pressure of air currents, chaotic currents, or the crossing currents of the Sky Festival, then it was still very possible.
Not long ago, Ethan was still worried about Vibrava's training plan. Now, Vibrava had evolved into Flygon and its strength had increased enormously.
Now it had even obtained an opportunity of its own. As long as it continued advancing step by step in a stable way, entering the Elite level would only be a matter of time.
