Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 188 The War Between the Gods of the Ocean and the Earth! (4k)

A key? A jewel? The ocean and the land?
Upon hearing this, Cynthia suddenly recalled that Team Aqua and Team Magma had fought over two different colored orbs back at Mount Okami.

So, that blue orb could have controlled Kyogre?
Why didn't Keshui Wutong achieve that?

My intuition tells me that this matter has nothing to do with my arrival.

And then there's the land opposite the ocean, and another orb corresponding to the blue orb—doesn't that mean there's another legendary Pokémon?!

That is, that unusual place on Mount Yantou!
Cynthia reacted instantly and nodded to Gengar.

"I understand, thank you, senior. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, she ran away from there.

Gengar was left watching her retreating figure, looking thoughtful.

It's really rare to see her like this...

So, what kind of world is she talking about?

After leaving the library, Cynthia rushed back to the cabin and restarted the game.

The screen still showed the scorching yet eerie tranquility at the foot of Yantu Mountain. But with her discoveries in the library, her perception of this land was different. The heat surging beneath the calm now seemed to her like a powerful force from the depths of the earth, a force contending with the ocean, quietly emerging.

She examined every inch of the rock more carefully. Finally, she stopped in front of a huge rock near the mountain, darker in color than the surrounding rocks, and faintly radiating an abnormal heat.

The surface of this rock has an inconspicuous bump, but upon closer inspection, its shape seems almost too perfect.

Hiro tried to position the character facing the protrusion and pressed the interact button.

Click.

A faint mechanical sound seemed to come from inside the mountain. Then, with a deep rumble, the massive rock slowly slid to one side, revealing a dark, downward-pointing opening!

A scorching stream of air immediately rushed out of the hole, making even Cynthia in front of the screen feel a bit hot.

Sure enough, it's here!
Cynthia's gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, she controlled her character to step into the area.

In stark contrast to the damp, gloomy, and labyrinthine waterway base of the Marine Fleet, the Lava Group's secret base was as dry as a desert, with the air slightly distorted by the high temperature.

The surrounding walls were dark red, as if they were being scorched by flames every day. In some places, there were even rivers formed by slowly flowing lava, emitting a dark red light that illuminated the path ahead.

The structure here is much simpler and more straightforward, with almost no complex mazes. It's just a winding main road leading downwards, supplemented by a few caves for storing supplies and for team members to rest.

However, simple does not mean easy.

The Team Magma members guarding the route were significantly more elite than the Team Aqua's grunts, and they used higher-level Pokémon with more ferocious moves.

"Intruders! Don't even think about interfering with Boss Crimson Pine's grand plan!"

"Let me show you the fury of the earth!"

Battles erupted one after another. But just as Cynthia had judged, her team, which had undergone rigorous training and whose members had all reached level 68, was far stronger than these elite members.

She almost entirely crushed them all by virtue of her level and attribute advantage. The arrogant voices of the Lava Team members quickly turned into words of defeat.

Without much hindrance, Cynthia followed the scorching passage to the deepest part of the base.

This is an incredibly vast underground cavern, even larger than the underwater cavern of the Aqua Team. In the center of the cavern is a lake churning with scorching lava, and the heat wave blurs the screen.

On the shore of the lava lake, a man in a red uniform with striking red hair stood with his back to the entrance, gazing up at the boiling lava. In his hand, a jewel radiating a dazzling crimson light resonated strongly with the lava below.

As Cynthia watched this familiar scene, a sudden sense of foreboding washed over her.
Wait, could it be that...?

Cynthia carefully maneuvered her character forward.

The scorching heat from deep within the cave almost seemed to emanate from the screen; the air was violently distorted by the high temperature, and the view was a blurry, dark red.

The lava lake bubbled and churned—the game even simulated environmental details so realistically.

Her gaze was fixed on the back of the red-haired man on the shore, who was none other than Crimson Pine, the leader of the Lava Gang!
He was holding aloft a precious pearl that emitted an ominous crimson light, chanting verses similar to those of the Water Wutong tree, filled with fanaticism.

"Awaken! Incarnation of the earth! Follow the ancient covenant, show me your power, and bring eternal earth to this world!"

A crimson jewel… Just as I thought! Cynthia's heart skipped a beat. Corresponding to the azure jewel in Archie's hand, this jewel was likely the key to controlling the legendary Pokémon that opposed Kyogre!

As soon as Chi Yansong finished speaking, the vermilion pearl in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as if a small sun was born in his hand!

The entire cave began to tremble violently, even more violently than when Kyogre had awakened.

The ground beneath their feet began to crack continuously, and the lava lake began to churn wildly!

An indescribable, heavy, and extremely hot pressure instantly filled every inch of space.

This aura is different from Kyogre's vast and boundless power; it is heavier and more violent, carrying a destructive aura that can melt everything!
“Rumble——!!!”

Suddenly, the center of the lava lake exploded, and an enormous, orange-red figure broke through the scalding lava and slowly rose!

Its body was as large as a mountain, its skin covered with a hard shell that looked like it had been formed from cooled lava, and a fiery red light flowed down its back.

It simply stood there, and the intense heat emanating from it made the air hum, and the rocks beneath its feet quickly melted into new lava.

This is... "the embodiment of the earth?"

Cynthia held her breath. Although she didn't know its name, the power it possessed—completely opposite to Kyogre's yet equally chilling—said it all.

Ocean and land, creation and expansion—these two legendary Pokémon are indeed opposites!
Immediately afterwards, the game screen switched to a cutscene. The camera gave the newly awakened behemoth a striking close-up.

Its back protrusion resembles a volcano, constantly spewing out scorching heat and sparks.

Its eyes were a bright, lava-like yellow, burning with a fury similar to that of Kyogre awakened by the Water Archie, a fury that had been forcibly disturbed.

It let out a deep roar to the sky, and the sound waves spread out with a real heat wave, causing large areas of the rock on the cave walls to melt and collapse!
The camera zooms out, revealing the terrifying spectacle of this legendary Pokémon unleashing its power.

It was surrounded by a high-temperature force field that distorted the air; this force field alone caused the surrounding earth to crack and lava to flow.

This legendary Pokémon also ignored the tiny Red Pine below, its eyes scanning the cave that trapped it, filled with anger and impatience.

Then, it stomped its massive hind legs off the ground!

"boom--!!!"

The entire underground cavern experienced an unprecedented and violent collapse!
The rock formations overhead were smashed apart by an irresistible force, as if made of paper. Sunlight poured down from the huge breach, and the orange-red behemoth had transformed into a streak of orange-red light that tore through the earth, carrying away rubble and lava, and disappeared into the distance.

"Wait! God of the Earth!"

Crimson Flame Pine reacted much calmer than Water Wutong. He didn't shout in panic, but just looked at the large hole and frowned deeply.

He slowly lowered his hand that held the vermilion pearl, whose luster had dimmed considerably.

He turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at Cynthia's character, his voice low and menacing: "It's you. I recognize you. You've been hindering those idiots on Team Aqua and our plans, but this time is different..."

Red Flame Pine pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the red glow of magma: "The anomaly just now wasn't because of you, but because of the power of the orb, or rather, the power of that Pokémon itself went beyond control. It resonated with something on the other side of the ocean... The real climax is just beginning."

He gave Cynthia a deep look and warned her:
“Young lady, for the sake of your strength, this is your last chance. This is not something you should interfere in. To pursue the legends and expand the land is the sacred mission of the Lava Guild. If you insist on obstructing us, the next time we meet... I will not give you another chance.”

After saying that, he ignored Cynthia and headed straight for another passage in the base. His figure quickly disappeared into the shadows, clearly going to chase after the departing legendary Pokémon.

Cynthia, controlling her character, stood still, her heart filled with turmoil.

The calm demeanor of the Crimson Flame Pine contrasted sharply with the manic behavior of the Water Wutong, which made her feel even more uneasy.

An out-of-control, crazed powerhouse may be easy to deal with, but a well-defined, calm enemy is often more dangerous.

She immediately used her flight spell to leave the lava cluster base deep within Chimney Mountain.

However, as soon as she flew out of the cave, the scene before her eyes stunned her.

Because the sky in the game... suddenly became extremely eerie.

It's daytime now, the sun is high in the sky, radiating scorching heat, but at the same time, a torrential downpour is pouring down!

The raindrops pelted the screen, making a pattering sound.

Even more unsettling was the eerie interplay between the dark clouds and the clear sky, with streaks of lightning flashing between the clouds and thunder roaring, while sunlight still pierced through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the earth shrouded in torrential rain.

The world's light and shadow were filled with contradictions and disharmony, the music had changed, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The ground in the game was constantly trembling violently.

Is this... an anomaly caused by the simultaneous awakening of two legendary Pokémon and the resulting clash of their powers?

Cynthia frowned as she looked at the apocalyptic scene before her.

The answer to what would happen if two top-tier legendary Pokémon were to clash is already known.

She knew that the Hoenn region in the game was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, her navigator's phone rang urgently again.

"Drip-drip-"

Cynthia answered immediately. The director of the Weather Institute's voice was already choked with sobs: "Strawberry Ice Cream! It's all over! Everything's in chaos! The weather system for the entire Hoenn region has collapsed! The monitoring data is off the charts! Torrential rain, scorching sun, thunderstorms, earthquakes... all kinds of extreme weather are happening at the same time! And, the energy sources... two huge energy sources are rapidly approaching each other in the sea near Sootopolis City! They... they're probably going to collide! Is the end of the world coming?!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure descended from the sky in the game screen accompanied by a loud bird song, landing precisely in front of Cynthia's character.

It was a Skarmory, and on its back was Steven, the champion of the Hoenn region.

His usually composed face was now filled with solemnity:
"Strawberry ice cream! I found you right here!" Daigo said quickly. "I just got the news from the Weather Institute and came here immediately!"

"Groudon and Kyogre are already battling in Sootopolis! The situation is critical, there's no time to explain! Get on board quickly, we must get to Sootopolis immediately!"

Groudon?
Having memorized the name of the other legendary Pokémon, Cynthia didn't hesitate and immediately controlled her character to jump onto Skarmory's back.

The flight technique was activated again, and the scenes on the screen changed rapidly. After traversing a chaotic sky filled with lightning and thunder, the two finally landed in an island city they had never been to before—Liuli City.

However, the Liuli City before them was clearly no longer an ordinary city.
The screen went black, the game cutscene played, and then it started again!
The camera pans down from above, and the once beautiful city of Liuli now appears to be in the heart of hell.

The seawater around the island roared as if boiling, with giant waves reaching tens of meters high, crashing wildly against the buildings and cliffs on the shore. Many houses had collapsed and been swallowed by the sea.

Right in the center of this devastated stage, two colossal beings are engaged in an earth-shattering battle that can only be described as a miracle!

On one side is Kyogre, the embodiment of the deep blue ocean!

It hovered above towering waves, surrounded by endless torrential rain and thunder, emitting a deafening roar. With the flapping of its pectoral fins, it drew in boundless seawater, transforming it into high-pressure water jets that pierced the heavens and earth, like countless water dragons, cascading madly towards its opponent!

On the other side is Groudon, the orange-red embodiment of the earth!
The place where it originally stood was shallow sea, but now it has been evaporated and turned into black rocky ground because of its power!
With each step it takes, new lava gushes out from beneath its feet, quickly cooling into the same black rock.

It roared, and the volcanic peaks on its back lit up with a dazzling red light, spewing out countless huge chunks of lava burning with raging flames, like meteorites falling from the sky!
The battle seemed to have entered a white-hot phase right from the start!
