Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 543 Rainbow Blazing Pine, Rainbow Water Sycamore

Soon, Gyarados carried the miserable-looking Kojiro and the others away.

perfect.

Natsume clapped his hands, his gaze refocusing on the seabed.

Unlike the ordinary members of Team Magma and Team Aqua who cheered for the "miracle" before their eyes and thought their ideals were about to be achieved.

Natsume's gaze remained fixed on Blazing Pine and Water Archo, as well as the two ominous orbs in their hands.

After these brief observations, Natsume keenly noticed a key detail:
Whenever Kyogre's attack deals substantial damage to Groudon, the light emanating from the blue orb tightly held in Archie's hand visibly diminishes, as if its power is being rapidly drained away.

Conversely, when Groudon's counterattack severely damages Kyogre, the red orb in FieryTree's hand will dim its light.

After several such intense and devastating collisions and energy clashes, the light emanating from the pearls in their hands was now as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

"Hehehehe."

The Blazing Pine and the Water Sycamore float on the deep, cold seabed filled with turbulent energy.
They watched helplessly as the sacred object in their hands, which once contained boundless power, gradually turned gray and ordinary.

Their control over the two legendary Pokémon is rapidly dwindling.

Not long ago, they may have secretly hoped to get rid of the backlash and burden brought about by this power that was difficult to fully control.

Now, this jewel, which is about to lose its luster, has become their only lifeline in this desperate situation in the deep sea, under the feet of two rampaging behemoths!
Almost instinctively, the two of them gripped the precious pearl tightly with all their might, their fingernails almost digging into its interior, fearing that the pearl would slip out of their control at any moment and plunge them into the abyss of despair.

However, as if everything had been pre-planned, the worst thing still happened.

Just as Kyogre and Groudon collided once again, unleashing a shockwave that swept across the ocean floor—

hum!
The two precious pearls simultaneously emitted a final, barely audible wail, and then their light completely dissipated, turning them as dull and lifeless as ordinary stones.

Moreover, as if drawn by some invisible force, they suddenly broke free from the desperate grasp of the Blazing Pine and the Water Sycamore, and like two iron filings attracted by a magnet, they suddenly flew rapidly towards the sea surface!
"Do not!!!"

"The precious pearl!!!"

The Blazing Pine and the Water Sycamore simultaneously let out heart-wrenching cries filled with despair and fear.

They frantically reached out to grab the flying pearl, but this action caused them to choke on a large amount of cold, salty seawater!
"Gurgle—cough! Cough!"

A feeling of suffocation suddenly struck, and my lungs felt like they were on fire.

The power vanished completely as the orb departed, and the icy seawater pressed in from all directions, while the heavy uniforms dragged them deeper and darker into the abyss.

Before them were two colossal divine beast shadows still locked in a frenzied battle, utterly indifferent to their fate, and the shadow of death loomed over them as if it were a tangible reality.

They struggled in vain, their consciousness beginning to blur due to lack of oxygen, their eyes filled only with endless resentment and despair.

Above the sea, Natsume calmly watched the two pearls, which had completely lost their luster and flew out of the sea like ordinary stones, his brows slightly furrowed.

at the same time.

In the sea below, the originally ferocious Kyogre and Groudon seemed to have all their power sources drained instantly, and their movements suddenly froze.

The massive body began to stagnate and stiffen, and the destructive energy fluctuations receded like the tide, falling into a strange state of silence, as if it had turned into two huge underwater sculptures.

"Sure enough."

Natsume understood. His telekinetic powers silently penetrated the sea, precisely locating the two figures who had begun to sink and whose consciousness was fading. Like an invisible retrieval net, he forcibly pulled them from the edge of death and brought them to mid-air beside him.

"Cough! Cough cough cough!! Ugh—"

As soon as the Flaming Pine and Water Sycamore were removed from the seawater, they immediately lay on the telekinetic platform, coughing and gagging violently, spitting out large amounts of seawater and greedily inhaling the air filled with sulfur and a burnt smell.

The immense shock of surviving the ordeal left them trembling, their faces as pale as paper. For a moment, they were unable to think, only their most instinctive physiological reactions and gratitude for being alive remained.

However, before they could catch their breath—

hum! ! !
A dazzling golden portal suddenly opened without warning directly above the heads of Kyogre and Groudon, who had just fallen silent.

coming!

Natsume looked excited, his eyes shining as he stared at the golden door that he knew all too well.

Based on previous intelligence, it seems that only high-ranking members of Team Rainbow Rocket are qualified to use such a portal!

Two figures, cloaked in black and wearing masks that covered the upper half of their faces, making their features completely obscured, stepped out of the portal.

They were composed, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

One of them was wearing a ring on his finger, which Natsume had previously obtained from the system and which bore the name "Hoen".

The other person was empty-handed.

They reached out precisely and each caught the two dim, lifeless pearls that had just flown into the sky.

Immediately afterward, under the shocked gazes of Natsume and the still-recovering Flame Pine and Water Archie, the two people slightly tightened their fingers—

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out! The red and blue jewels shattered in response!

However, the inside of the broken pearl was not empty; instead, it revealed two completely different cores, each containing indescribable and immense energy.

What emerged from the shattered red orb was not molten lava, but a miniature, dazzling crystal that seemed to be made from the purest blue seawater!
It exudes the primal aura of the ocean—extremely profound, tranquil, yet containing boundless power.

[Ding! The divine job "Ocean" has been discovered. You can successfully add it to your roster!]

What emerged from the shattered blue orb was not a surging wave, but a miniature, dark red crystal that seemed to be formed from the molten lava of the Earth's core and the hardest core of the earth.

It exudes an aura of extreme weight, heat, and the capacity to both sustain and create all things.

[Ding! The divine role "Earth" has been discovered and successfully recruited by Ji Ke!]

The moment these two crystals, representing primordial divine authority, appeared, the silent Kyogre and Groudon below seemed to receive a call from the most fundamental source.

Om-! ! !
Two energies, far more terrifying, more primal, and more powerful than before, suddenly erupted.

On Georgia's deep blue body, ancient totems were instantly illuminated like a circuit board, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.

Its shape became more streamlined and majestic, and its wing-like structure became even larger, as if it had truly transformed into the ruler of all the oceans.

Primal Reversion - Kyogre!
Groudon's orange-red body was covered in magma patterns that flowed wildly as if it had come alive, and the jagged rock structure on its back rose up like a volcano, bursting out with dazzling white light!
Its size has become more robust and full of destructive power, as if it were a moving land-building plate itself.

Primal Reversion - Groudon!
Their energy levels increased by more than several times in an instant.

Natsume suddenly realized!

"So that's how it is. What's sealed inside the red orb isn't Groudon's power at all, but rather Kyogre's divine crystal, which uses Groudon's divine essence as its energy source and outer shell."

"Similarly, what's sealed inside the blue orb is Groudon's divine crystal, sealed with the divine power of Kyogre's divine essence!"

"That's why these two ordinary Kyogre and Groudon were able to adapt so quickly and immediately inherit the power of the divine authority, completing the Primal Reversion."

Natsume's brain raced, and he quickly noticed something was amiss.

That's not right. It's not just divine beasts that have the opportunity to inherit the title; members of the same race can also inherit it.

Suddenly, Natsume looked at the two crystals and felt a little dazed.

Yes, even the divine titles have been extracted. I bet the divine titles of Kyogre and Groudon in his world have already been...
Natsume recalled the descriptions given by the great man.

A thousand years ago, Team Rainbow Rocket searched for almost every legendary Pokémon in the world. Surely some of them suffered tragic fates.

"No! Impossible! How could this be?!"

Below, the native Flame Pine and Water Sycamore, who had just recovered from drowning, witnessed this mind-blowing event and almost simultaneously broke down, letting out a roar of disbelief.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were filled with twisted resentment and disbelief!

"Why?! Why can they?!" Shui Wutong's voice was hoarse.

"I am the one chosen by the ocean! We should be the chosen ones who guide Kyogre!"

"Groudan, my Groudon!"

Blazing Pine stared blankly at the crystal that radiated the true power of the earth, then looked at the black-clad man wearing a red ring, feeling as if his life's pursuit and beliefs had become a colossal joke.

"We gave our all, even risking disaster, yet we didn't even get close to the real door. How could they do it so easily?!"

Just as these two were losing their faith and were desperately trying to hold on, their faith crumbled.

High in the sky, the two men in black seemed to feel that the time was right. They looked at each other, slowly raised their hands, and removed their masks and black coats, revealing their true faces.

The moment they saw those two faces, the native Flaming Pine and Water Sycamore were struck dumb as if by lightning. They stood there, mouths agape, unable to utter a sound, their eyes filled with utter shock and absurdity.

Those two people had facial features and bone structure that were extremely similar to theirs.

But their temperaments are completely different.

The person standing atop the original Groudon had meticulously combed, fiery red short hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had cold, sharp eyes behind the lenses filled with an absolute rationality that indicated complete control.

He wore a well-tailored, high-quality dark red suit, over which he wore a white researcher's robe that was more symbolic than practical, exuding an aloofness and efficiency akin to that of a precision instrument.

Rainbow Flame Pine!
The one standing atop the original Kyogre was even more imposing, with skin the bronze hue of the sea weathered by years of storms, a meticulously trimmed short beard on his chin, wild and deep eyes, and an arrogant smile on his lips that seemed to indicate he had conquered all the oceans.

He wore a dark blue nautical suit made of high-tech materials and carried a captain's badge on his shoulder, symbolizing absolute authority.

Rainbow Water Sycamore!
They are like the native Flaming Pine and Water Wutong, who have undergone countless successful temperings, shedding all hesitation and confusion, and becoming extremely pure and powerful in their ultimate form!
"see it?"

Rainbow Flame Pine pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, as if stating a simple fact.

"This is the true posture of mastering power and guiding the gods."

"The sea will only ever submit to the truly strong." Rainbow Water Sycamore spread her arms as if embracing the endless sea beneath her feet, her smile full of aggression.
