Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 481 Giovanni: Kozo, can you beat my Groudon?

grandfather?

Dan looked at Giovanni in shock. This little guy was calling Giovanni "Grandpa"?

No, could it be that Xiao Zhao is Sakaki's granddaughter?

But that doesn't make sense. Sakaki only has two sons, Mammon and Silver. Mammon is only seventeen years old. How could he possibly have such a big daughter?

Little Silver is only sixteen years old, even younger than Mammon, let alone...

Is it possible...

"Young lady, who are you calling 'grandpa'?"

Sakaki has a good mental fortitude; he quickly regained his composure and frowned as he looked at Xiaozhao.

"Of course it's Grandpa Sakaki, I'm your granddaughter."

Xiao Zhao looked at Sakaki with a smile.

"My dad is so good to me. He specially invited me to come over and visit, and I'm so happy to see Grandpa too!"

Xiao Zhao was clearly very happy.

"..."

Sakaki fell silent. He remembered the last photo Mammon had sent him, which was captioned "Come see your granddaughter."

At first, Giovanni thought it was Mammon playing a trick.

Later, Mammon explained to him that the child had traveled through time.

So...it really is his granddaughter!

Sakaki's gaze softened instantly as he looked at Xiaozhao, and a genuine, warm smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"What's your name?" Sakaki asked gently.

"Zhao, Zhao, it was my mom and dad who named it for me." Xiao Zhao smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Okay, 'Illuminating All Rivers'? That's a really nice name!"

Sakaki nodded with great satisfaction. Prantina's nickname was 'Hikari', and her daughter's name was 'Shining'.

Whether it's 'sunshine shining brightly' or 'illuminating all rivers,' both are very meaningful.

No, you just accepted the championship like that??
When the grandfather and grandson suddenly started chatting, Dante and Adek were both stunned. This really wasn't right.
"Grandpa would love to have another good talk with you, cough cough, but... now is really not the right time."

Sakaki also noticed the strange looks in Dante and Adek's eyes, coughed twice, and straightened his expression.

However, his tone remained extremely gentle.

"Ah, that's true."

"Xiao Zhao, could you please return Dante and Mr. Adek to us?"

Sakaki smiled and asked Xiaozhao, after all, he was now the champion of the Kanto League.

"No, Grandpa, why don't you join Team Rocket and play with me and Dad? Team Rocket is the righteous one."

Xiao Zhao's pretty face was equally serious as she spoke to Sakaki in a very formal tone.

Upon hearing this, Dante and Adek immediately looked at Giovanni, still quite nervous, although they didn't know why Giovanni had accepted this granddaughter who was a bit too old.

But now that I think about it, with his son and granddaughter both on the Rockets, can Giovanni really still hold onto his beliefs?

"...Impossible, Xiao Zhao. The Alliance needs me. The Alliance is the cornerstone of this world and the maintainer of social and civilized order."

Sakaki replied in a deep voice.

Of course, Sakaki would never betray them, although it would certainly bring a lot of fun if he did, and Dante and the others would be shocked speechless.

But what's the point of this momentary pleasure?

Giovanni has always been a calm and rational person. He is now the Kanto champion. He just needs to continue to develop his network and build his foundation in the league.

With his abilities, it's a certainty that he will become the chairman of the Kanto Alliance after Damalangi retires!

At that time, he will be the highest authority in the Pokémon League, the true leader of the righteous path.

Team Rocket, on the other hand, rules the underground world; they are essentially the family that controls the entire world.

"Champion Sakaki is indeed rational!"

Both D'Antoni and Adek breathed a sigh of relief. If Giovanni had defected to the Rockets at this point, the league would have been doomed.

Thankfully, Champion Sakaki showed great righteousness!
"I guess it won't work after all. In that case, Grandpa, I'm sorry."

Xiao Zhao shook her head regretfully, but in reality, there was always a smile in her bright and clear eyes.

Clearly, she had already guessed this.

"I can't hand over Champion Dan to you. If you want to rescue them, you'll have to defeat me first."

Xiao Zhao smiled and spoke slowly, her voice clear and melodious.

"Sigh~ I really don't want to lay a hand on you, Zhao."

Sakaki sighed, his tone somewhat heavy.

This made Dan Emperor quite ashamed; if he hadn't been defeated by Kozaki, he wouldn't have needed Sakaki to intervene.

"Hehe~ It's alright, Grandpa. Besides, you might not be my match."

The little photo shows her tilting her head slightly, her smiling eyes crinkling – she's incredibly cute.

"Really? You must be very strong to defeat the Pill Emperor, right? But when you fought the Pill Emperor, many of your main forces were already seriously injured."

Sakaki glanced at the Jade Goblin and the Jade Greatsword Demon beside Xiaozhao.

Both Pokémon had injuries of varying degrees, showing that although Xiaozhao defeated Leon, the victory was not easy.

But in reality, Sakaki was filled with joy and pride for Xiao Zhao.

She truly is my granddaughter!

To be able to defeat Dan Di at such a young age, and even surpass Mammon, is truly a born prodigy!

"Xiao Zhao, you are no match for me now."

"Not always."

Xiao Zhao's pretty face did indeed become much more serious. She had the Jade Goblin grab Dante and retreat, then threw him next to Alder.

"Still not giving up? What if you were facing it?"

Sakaki lowered his head and gave a faint smile.

"Groudon."

As Sakaki's voice faded, the ground in this area began to tremble slightly.

Behind Giovanni, the ground began to crack rapidly. A deep roar resounded, and the fiery red Lord of the Earth slowly crawled out from the ground and stood behind Giovanni.

Those majestic eyes looked down at Xiao Zhao, their imposing and heavy aura was truly astonishing.

"Groudon..."

Xiao Zhao's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the Groudon; she was quite familiar with it.

After carefully examining it, Xiao Zhao nodded with great certainty.

"I'll be much thinner than I was before..."

"Why does Groudon seem a bit fatter than it was in Unova? What do you think, Champion Leon?"

Alder looked at Groudon with a puzzled expression. He genuinely felt that Groudon seemed to be a bit fatter than it had been when he first saw it in Unova.

"It seems...it really is..." Leon was a little unsure, but he also felt that Groudon did look fatter.

"It seems that Champion Sakaki is feeding him very well," Adek remarked.

No, do mythical Pokémon need food?
Dan Di pondered this with some confusion. He didn't quite understand it, but it seemed like it was time to eat.

"Let go of Leon and Alder, Xiao Zhao. You are no match for me, nor could you possibly be a match for Groudon."

Sakaki advised Kozo.

The reason he used Groudon directly was that he wanted Xiao Zhao to leave so that he could quickly summon Mammon.

Otherwise, the league really can't hold on. Officer Jenny has said that the league's situation is about to collapse.

"Ah~ As expected of Grandpa, but I'm not entirely powerless to resist."

The smile in the photo is still as bright as ever.

"?"

Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that Xiaozhao also has a Pokémon from mythology?
"Help me, Dialga!"

Xiao Zhao's clear voice wasn't loud, but it was enough.

Dialga?

All three of them felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

Groudon slowly raised its head and looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, a materialized time vortex gradually expanded and appeared, from which a diamond-like blue divine light shone.

A deep dragon roar resounded, and a gigantic Time Dragon emerged from the time vortex, its divine eyes looking down upon Groudon and Giovanni.

A profound and incomparable divine power permeated the air, making even breathing seem difficult at this moment.

"Dialga, the time-traveling Pokémon from Sinnoh's mythology!"

Giovanni recognized the Pokémon whose body shimmered with a faint blue divine light.

This is the Time Dragon from the Sinnoh creation myth!
"Xiao Zhao, you actually tamed it?"

Sakaki turned his gaze to his granddaughter, his expression a mixture of pride and wistfulness.

"Actually, no." However, Xiao Zhao gave him an unexpected answer.

"Haven't you subdued them?"

Sakaki was stunned.

"No, I did not capture Dialga, but since I was a child, I have always been able to sense that Dialga is watching me."

Xiao Zhao shook her head, but her smile remained unchanged.

"Dialga and I are very good friends. Although I have always been very happy, Dialga has always been by my side. Even when I was sent to Xicui, Dialga was still with me."

"No matter what difficulties I encounter, Dialga is always there for me. Whenever I ask for its help, Dialga will come to my aid. I really love Dialga."

The girl's words were earnest and pure.

Dialga, suspended in mid-air, looked down at Xiao Zhao with a hint of a smile in his eyes, his gaze full of doting tenderness.

However, Sakaki remained silent.

"This……"

Dante and Adek remained silent at this moment.

What does it mean to say, "From childhood, it has always watched over me and accompanied me. Whenever I am in trouble, it will come to my aid"?
Do you really know what you're saying?
Dante was numb, and even Aldak, despite his advanced age, was starting to lose his composure.

Is this human language?

What exactly are you? A time dragon from mythology, why are you so favored?

They have to start from the beginning, and they may never reach the top even in their entire lives.

And you, my friend, you weren't even on the mountaintop to begin with, you were in the sky, damn it!!
Is the difference between people really greater than the difference between a person and a dog?!
Adek suddenly smiled with relief. He had originally thought that 'monsters' like Mei and Touko were the pinnacle of genius.

But compared to this girl, she was completely exposed and left with nothing.

People might envy, be jealous of Mei and others' terrifying talents, but someone like this Xiaozhao...

Even jealousy is powerless, because she is someone who is completely favored by fate and the gods.

Silence fell completely.

"I see."

After a long while, Sakaki couldn't help but chuckle.

He really tried his best to hold back, but he just couldn't help it, and he was happy.

"In that case, let me see if the power of Dialga from the myth can defeat my Groudon."

Sakaki gently raised his hand and waved.

"Roar~!"

Groudon roared at Dialga, and a bright red light flashed instantly.

An 'Ω' phantom inscription grew to enormous size, and in the blink of an eye, Primal Groudon raised its head and roared.

Regression!

It was as if a second sun had appeared in the sky, its intense sunlight shining down, causing the temperature in the air to rise wildly.

"The End of the Land, the original Groudon's ability has narrowed its range to the entire Goldenrod City, so there's no need to worry about it affecting the outside world."

Sakaki said calmly, his eyes, filled with a gentle smile, fixed on his granddaughter.

"So... Xiao Zhao, can you defeat the fiery red earth lord from mythology?"
