Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 475 Groudon: You and I together, let's beat Rayquaza!
Groudon wanted to recruit Li Xuan into their group.

Faced with Groudon's offer, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head gently, his tone mild: "I've always been used to standing on the side of the sky."

Groudon:? ? ?

What the hell!

Li Xuan's statement instantly enraged Groudon, causing the markings on its body to emit a scorching red light!

This is mocking its inability to fly!

I don't even want to act!

Rumble!
Magma surged violently within Groudon's body, but when confronted with Reshiram's outstretched wings and Kyogre's swirling mist, it had to suppress its roar into a muffled rumble.

Groudon hated its innate flaw for the first time, and could only angrily crush the rock beneath its feet with its claws...

How wonderful it would be to have a pair of invisible wings!
This is Groudon's only idea.

"hehe."

The light around Kyogre gradually faded, and his magnificent body returned to its original azure blue.

It leisurely swayed its tail fin and laughed without any attempt to hide its laughter: "It's been the same for thousands of years, a land reptile that can't even reach a cloud."

"You're nothing but a worthless fish given to you by humans! If it weren't for your primal reversion, how could you possibly overpower me!"

Groudon roared.

Kyogre gracefully swung his tail fin and retorted, "And what about you? You don't even have any humans willing to help you. Oh, no, one of the humans who were willing to help you ran away, and the other is still trembling on the ground."

Groudon did not refute.

Because they are all facts.

On the other hand, Li Xuan.

He sat leisurely on Rahiram's back, watching the two ancient gods argue like children, and casually grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from his pocket.

However, Li Xuan did not intervene in the dispute between the two legendary Pokémon, but instead signaled Reshiram to land in front of Shygana.

Now, there are more important things to do.

He looked down at the descendant of the Meteorite People, his gaze growing cold.

"This is not over yet."

Li Xuan's voice was calm, yet it sounded like he was delivering a judgment.

“If I hadn’t stopped you in time, what you did today would have plunged the entire Hoenn region into crisis. If these crimes were investigated, it would probably be more than just a few years in prison.”

The facts are just as Li Xuan said.

If Groudon were allowed to cross the ocean, the resulting tsunami and earthquakes would sweep across the entire Hoenn region, submerging coastal towns and causing countless lives to perish in this man-made disaster.

Li Xuan stared at the pale-faced Xijiana.

He raised his hand to signal, and the frost of the Flame White Kyurem had already blocked all escape routes.

Higana lowered her head in silence, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms.

She did not try to excuse herself.

When she looked up and met Li Xuan's gaze, only unyielding spirit remained in her eyes.

As a descendant of the Meteor Dwellers, Higanbana knew better than anyone the potential consequences of awakening an ancient Pokémon, yet she still took that dangerous step.

"Why on earth would you do that?"

Li Xuan stared into Xijiana's eyes, his tone filled with confusion.

Normally, there would be a gentler way for Higanbana to find Rayquaza.

Instead of using methods that would trigger natural disasters and leave places in ruins.

Higana raised her head and replied in a deep voice, "Because... a great disaster is about to befall us."

When the word "disaster" came out of Xijiana's mouth, Li Xuan's brows furrowed slightly.

“I understand you won’t believe it easily.”

Higanbana said to herself in a low voice, "But the ancient texts guarded by the Meteor Clan for generations clearly record that a crisis capable of destroying the world is approaching. Only by summoning Rayquaza can we possibly buy a glimmer of hope for this world."

"So, you're willing to disrupt the entire ecological balance of Hoenn and force Rayquaza to show itself in such an extreme way?" Li Xuan's tone was tinged with helplessness.

Higana nodded firmly, a hint of fanaticism flashing in her eyes: "This is the only way to get its attention."

Li Xuan sighed and shook his head in exasperation, but then heard Higana continue to explain, "But summoning Rayquaza is only the first step. According to ancient records, it currently lacks a key energy source—only by obtaining this energy can it truly resolve that crisis."

Her voice gradually lowered: "That's why I had to take such extreme measures... Time is running out."

These words reached Li Xuan's ears.

This finally made Li Xuan's expression serious.

It wasn't because of some so-called disaster prophecy, but because Higanbana was able to accurately describe Rayquaza's current situation.

“You’re right. Rayquaza is indeed in a bad state right now. Over the years, it has been constantly devouring meteorites to make up for its energy shortage. If this problem isn’t solved, even if it appears, it won’t be able to complete its super evolution.”

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, the three parties reacted differently.

Higana's eyes widened in disbelief.

The secrets she painstakingly uncovered from ancient books were revealed by the other party in such a casual manner.

its not right!
Li Xuan, where did you get your information from?

Could it be something like the "All-Seeing Eye" possessed by the protagonist in the light novel written by Wanlong from the Unova region?

at the same time.

Groudon and Kyogre, who were arguing, both fell silent at the same time.

The two ancient gods exchanged a glance, and even the surging lava and waves around them temporarily calmed down.

For thousands of years, they have been fighting, never realizing that the arbitrator high in the ozone layer has been dealing with them with hidden dangers all along...

wrong!

During the previous battle, that green-haired dragon could undergo mega-evolution.

Since the fundamental source is deficient...

Hehehe...

For a moment, Groudon and Kyogre exchanged a meaningful glance and simultaneously let out a strange, cackling laugh.

These two arch-enemies have now reached a tacit understanding because of the same thought.

If they seize this opportunity to join forces, perhaps they can break free from the control of that Sky Dragon forever...

at this time.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over the two Level One Gods.

Groudon immediately looked up at the sky, pretending to study the cloud structure; Kyogre, on the other hand, focused intently on looking down at the earth, as if the strange laughter from before had never happened.

Seeing their increasingly obvious attempts to cover it up, Li Xuan couldn't help but facepalm.

With annihilation looming, these two are still plotting how to take advantage of the chaos!

“Li Xuan, I understand you may find these records hard to believe…”

Before Xijiana could finish speaking, Li Xuan raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Wait, when did I say I didn't believe it?"

Higana froze on the spot, her pupils dilating slightly.

She had thought it would take more effort to persuade him, but she never expected that Li Xuan would accept this seemingly absurd statement so readily!

"However, this is not a reason for you to escape punishment."

As Li Xuan spoke, he took out his phone and quickly connected to Daiwu's call.

A moment later, Steven arrived at the scene in Metagross.

"Brother Li Xuan, what's wrong?"

Steven was directing the evacuation of residents in Rustboro City when he received Li Xuan's urgent call and immediately mounted Metagross and rushed over at full speed.

When he landed on the devastated battlefield and saw Groudon and Kyogre facing off, and Li Xuan standing between them, he immediately realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Brother Daigo, here's what happened, let me tell you quickly." Li Xuan briefly explained the situation to Daigo.

Higana quietly added details from the ancient texts.

As Daigo listened, his brows furrowed more and more, his fingertips tapping incessantly on Metagross's cold, metallic shell.

Despite the facts before him, he subconsciously refused to believe the prophecy of this sudden disaster.

Seeing that Daigo still seemed hesitant, Li Xuan said seriously, "This information is completely consistent with my judgment. In the few days since I arrived in the Hoenn region, I have personally seen Rayquaza at the Sky Pillar and could clearly sense that its Emperor organ was indeed lacking in energy."

"And this Emperor organ is the device that Rayquaza uses to store energy when it undergoes Mega Evolution. It is the organ needed to deal with Primal Reversion Groudon and Kyogre."

With Li Xuan providing such concrete evidence, Daigo finally put aside his last doubts and nodded solemnly.

Daigo turned to Li Xuan and asked, "What should we do next?"

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked into the distance: "Let's go to Meteor Falls. As the sacred place of the Meteor People, it might hold the clues we need."

After saying that, the two of them looked at Xijiana at the same time.

She's the only one who can lead the way.

Upon hearing this, Xijiana sighed softly and silently walked forward.

As a sinner, her only option at this moment was to cooperate with the guide.

However, there was one important matter to be resolved before heading to Meteor Falls.

Li Xuan's gaze swept back and forth between Groudon and Kyogre, his fingertips lightly tapping his chin.

The proper placement of these two awakened first-level gods requires careful consideration.

Logically, we should just let them leave on their own.

But Li Xuan was really worried.

Judging from Groudon and Kyogre's performance just now, it's hard to guarantee that these two won't take the opportunity to team up and settle old scores with Rayquaza, who is in poor condition.

Groudon and Kyogre turned around at the same time and found Li Xuan scrutinizing them with a meaningful look.

The two first-level gods immediately felt uneasy, as if they had done something wrong.

"Can we leave now?"

After a long while, Kyogre spoke up, his voice clearly showing impatience.

Li Xuan slowly shook his head: "Please wait a moment."

These words immediately enraged Kyogre, who unleashed a massive wave of energy around itself: "Human! Don't push your luck!"

“You can leave if you want,” Li Xuan said calmly, “but you need to make a vow.”

Kyogre narrowed his eyes warily: "What oath?"

"If he attacks Liekong after leaving..."

Li Xuan's lips curled slightly: "You're a stupid fish that's not even as good as Groudon. As for Groudon—if it breaks the contract, it's a dumb turtle that's not even as good as Kyogre."

"presumptuous!"

"What the hell!"

The two first-level gods were enraged and attacked almost simultaneously!
Lava stone blades rose from the ground, unleashing a barrage of blue light waves!

"Metroid, protect Li Xuan!"

The Precipice Sword and the Root Wave roared in, and Daigo immediately commanded Metagross to set up defenses!

"No need."

But then, Li Xuan calmly raised his hand.

The indigo and vermilion orbs shone brightly at the same time, forming a magnificent light curtain that silently neutralized the two devastating attacks like wisps of smoke.

"Brother! I was wrong!"

"Big brother, I was actually trying to give you a massage with the Cliff-Breaking Sword!"

Kyogre and Groudon immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly suppressed their auras to appear weak.

However, Li Xuan simply shook his head slightly:

"It's too late to admit our mistakes now."

The words fell.

The two orbs suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and an invisible force instantly enveloped the two legendary Pokémon.

Groudon and Kyogre suddenly felt dizzy, their massive bodies swaying uncontrollably, as if the entire world was turning upside down.

"Brother Daigo, do you still have the Master Ball with you?" Li Xuan asked, turning his head.

"Here you go." Daigo handed the precious Master Ball to him without hesitation.

Li Xuan blinked, slightly surprised.

His original plan was for the two of them to each hold a Master Ball and capture the two legendary Pokémon.

Daigo noticed Li Xuan's hesitation and waved his hand with a light laugh: "No need to worry, you can subdue him."

"OK, then I'll accept it without hesitation."

Seeing this, Li Xuan stopped refusing and took out another Master Ball from his pocket.

Two precious Poké Balls simultaneously arced through the air, landing precisely on Groudon and Kyogre.

When the red light appeared, the two first-level gods, unusually, did not resist, allowing the sphere to absorb them as energy.

Boom!
With two crisp locking sounds, the existence that once shook the heavens and earth now lies quietly in the Poké Ball.

Daigo examined the two Master Balls with great interest and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Li Xuan, in the blink of an eye you already possess four legendary Pokémon. Such a lineup is probably unprecedented."

Li Xuan waved his hand gently, his expression calm: "Once the crisis is over, if they do not wish to stay, they will naturally be freed again."

After all, the purpose of this capture was to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation and provoking Rayquaza when it was in poor condition.

Daigo smiled knowingly upon hearing this and said nothing more.

……

……

The group traversed the winding mountain road and soon arrived at Meteor Falls.

The cascading water shimmered in the sunlight, and the ancient rock walls bore the marks of history.

This is Meteor Falls.

"Although this is called Meteor Falls, it is only how outsiders see Meteor Falls."

Higana stood in front of a waterfall and spoke to the two of them.

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Since Xijiana has already said so.

In other words, the real Meteor Dwellers do not live here.

"Okay, come with me."

Led by Higana, Li Xuan and Daigo crossed the roaring waterfall.

The waterfall splits automatically and then rejoins.

As the curtain of water closed behind us, a completely different world unfolded before our eyes.

Inside the enormous natural cave, the dome is inlaid with countless luminous crystals, resembling stars in the night sky.

As you walk along the moss-covered stone steps, you can see stone houses built against the rock face in a staggered pattern, with dried herbs hanging in front of some doors.

In the center of the cave stands an altar, upon which are placed several dusty sacrificial implements.

Although few people live here now, the air is still filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Higana's gaze slowly swept over the familiar scene, a complex expression appearing in her eyes.

As she gently traced the engravings on the edge of the altar with her fingertips, memories of her childhood living with her people flooded back.

But now, she stands alone in this silent sanctuary, the laughter and joy of the past long gone with the wind.

"Gym Leader Li Xuan, Champion Daigo, welcome to... the real Meteor Falls!"
