High above the clouds, past where any normal Pokémon would dare to soar, the air thins and silence reigns. The ozone crackles faintly with residual power. You push through a break in the atmosphere and land atop the Sky Pillar… only to stop dead in your tracks.

There, coiled tightly around the spire like a guardian of the heavens, is Rayquaza—the mighty serpent dragon who commands the skies. But today… he is not roaring. He is not gliding.

He’s weeping.

Thick tears, glowing faintly emerald, stream down his mighty face. They fall like meteorites, vanishing before they hit the clouds. His long, armored body trembles ever so slightly as his usually proud golden eyes remain shut.
