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

Chapter 478 Speedrun of the Lugia Dungeon
"So (chew, chew, chew), you want me to fly over Hoenn (chew, chew, chew) and look for the last remaining meteorite (chew, chew, chew)?"

Rayquaza chewed the meteorite with satisfaction, its body radiating a rich aura of energy.

Behind it, Groudon and Kyogre lay exhausted on the ground, as if all their strength had been drained.

"Humans! Why won't you let me and Groudon undergo Primal Regression?!"

Kyogre's voice carried suppressed anger, and the surging waves around him revealed his dissatisfaction.

Li Xuan calmly replied, "I only promised not to interfere, but I never said I would lend you a hand."

Let's go back to about ten minutes ago.

Groudon and Kyogre originally came with great momentum, intending to take advantage of Rayquaza's poor condition to avenge their previous defeat.

However, without the support of their original regressive form, they quickly found themselves in a difficult situation.

Although Rayquaza has not recovered its original form, it still demonstrates overwhelming strength thanks to its natural advantages.

The thick dragon tail completely shattered Groudon's Cliff Blade; its agile movement also caused Kyogre's Ice Beam to miss repeatedly.

After only a few rounds, the two gods of earth and sea were successively pinned to the ground by the dragon's claws.

Faced with an absolute disparity in power, the two ancient gods could only express their unwillingness to submit...

If Li Xuan had allowed them to revert to their natural state, they wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation!

This is what Groudon and Kyogre wanted.

However, it's impossible for them to beat up Rayquaza.

Return to reality.

"Damn humans!"

Groudon and Kyogre glared at Li Xuan simultaneously, their eyes practically spitting fire.

If this human hadn't been holding onto the pearl, preventing them from reverting to their original state, how could they have been so pathetic in front of this old enemy?!

"Human, I thought you were on their side. Thank goodness you're not. Well done."

Liekong sat comfortably and hovered to Li Xuan's side, affectionately rubbing against his arm.

Then, he turned to his two defeated opponents, raised his head, and said with a smug look in his dragon eyes, "Oh, oh, oh, where did your arrogance go? Now you're still being so arrogant?"

"cut."

Groudon and Kyogre silently looked away, not wanting to pay attention to the two.

"Let's not talk about that now."

Li Xuan waved his hand gently and got to the point: "Lie Kongzuo, do you know where else you can find similar meteorites?"

Rayquaza shook its dragon head regretfully: "Over the years, I have searched all known meteorite impact sites. You have already taken the one from Chimney Mountain, and I only just learned about the one from you. As for the last one, I really have no clue."

Well, now all I can do is wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Li Xuan was in a real bind.

Where exactly should we look for meteorites?

Li Xuan closed his eyes, pondering a solution.

The Hoenn region is so vast that it would be difficult to find meteorites if one searched aimlessly.

It's easy to waste a whole month and find nothing.

"How about I call another person over?"

Li Xuan took a different approach, thinking that bringing N and Zekrom over might be more effective than searching for stones for a month.

Czechrom is a first-rate god.

If it really comes, along with its own Reshiram, Kyurem, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza...

There are six first-level gods!

And with the help of the mythical Pokémon Mew, it seems there's some truth to it.

Even if some meteorites escaped when the meteors were shattered, there are still powerful trainers like Steven below. When they go all out, they will probably only leave a few scattered meteorites falling into the sea.

If you really go into the sea.

The danger is also zero.

"What do you mean you'll be fine if you fall into the sea? How dare you say that in front of me, the Lord of the Ocean! Don't you have any shame? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"

Kyogre could sense what Li Xuan was thinking at that moment.

After hearing his thoughts that the meteorite that fell into the sea would not pose a threat, Georka couldn't help but argue with Li Xuan for a bit.

"Hey, anyway, you're the true God of the Sea. These meteorites are probably just a minor crisis for you, something you can easily handle with a simple action."

Li Luochen waved his hand, saying indifferently.

"cut."

Georka scoffed.

But if what Li Xuan said is true, if those meteorites fall into the sea, they will only cause minor harm.

I can easily solve it on my own.

But that's no reason for you, Li Xuan, to use my Dahai as a shield!
Georka was a little annoyed and just wanted to vent his anger.

Where should I look for work?

Ok……

"Ok?"

Kyogre tilted his head, sensing that something seemed to be in danger in the distant ocean.

It may not seem like a big problem now, but if left unchecked, it could be far more dangerous than a meteorite crisis.

"Human, I remember the Orange Islands area should be your Kanto region, right?"

"That's true. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Li Xuan was greatly puzzled.

Although the Hoenn and Kanto regions are considered close.

But what are you trying to say by suddenly bringing this up, Georgopol?

"Nothing much, it's just the Orange Islands in your Kanto region, that ocean seems a bit off... I remember a fellow Level 1 God was there too. But it seems... he's about to be arrested?"

Kyoka's expression changed slightly.

A first-level god captured by humans—isn't that a disgrace to first-level gods?

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's expression changed.

What do you mean, the first-class god of the Orange Islands is about to be arrested?

There in the Orange Islands...

hiss!
This seems to be where Lugia is, right?
Grass!
The Rockets made their move at this time?!

Damn it, Giovanni, just because I'm in the Hoenn region, you think you can arrest Lugia right away?!

Li Xuan was so angry at the thought of Sakaki's escape that he gritted his teeth.

"Raikkon, go find the meteorite. Groudon, Kyogre, and I will leave the Hoenn region for a bit. Then, we'll bring some reinforcements over."

Li Xuan came up with the idea of ​​calling in reinforcements.

I also caught a Mewtwo myself.

And then there's Lugia, who's about to be arrested.

If I can save it myself, then I can call on Mewtwo, making a total of eight legendary Pokémon!

Why bother looking for meteorites then?
Eight first-level gods can't resolve the crisis?
Thinking of this, Li Xuan quickly sent a message to Daigo.

[Dojo Abandoned Monkey: Brother Steven, something's happened in the Kanto region. Team Rocket is going to attack Lugia in the Orange Islands. I'm going back to help out and bring some reinforcements over.]

[Zivskyi Daigo: No problem, Li Xuan, you go back and take care of your own affairs first. There's still a month left, no problem.]

After explaining the situation, Li Xuan left in a hurry.

……

...Inside a Team Rocket ship in the Orange Islands.

Since leaving the Hoenn region, Giovanni stopped by here to see how his plan to capture Lugia was going.

The answer is obvious: things are moving in a positive direction.

At this moment, Dr. Nanbo pointed to the violently fluctuating ocean current data on the monitoring screen, a fanatical look on his face: "Chief, Lugia does indeed inhabit the area beneath this sea. According to the energy readings, now is the best time to capture them."

Sakaki nodded slightly: "Nanbo, how confident are you about this operation?"

At present, Sakaki is certain that Li Xuan is far away in the Hoenn region dealing with the crisis and has no chance of being aware of the movements in the Orange Islands.

Thinking of all the plans he had been working on for years, finally one of them was going to come true, and a look of determination flashed in Sakaki's eyes.

Dr. Nanbo confidently reported, "I'm 90% sure."

Sakaki nodded in satisfaction.

but.

Just then, Mewtwo appeared beside him via teleportation and, without saying a word, disappeared with him.

Sakaki frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

He was just about to ask Mewtwo why it did that.

Mewtwo's voice rang in his mind: "Mew is on its way with Li Xuan. If we don't run now, it will be too late."

Sakaki was stunned.

There were no Kanto League trainers in the Orange Islands or Hoenn regions, so how did they find out about it in such a short time?
Now was not the time to delve into the matter, so Sakaki made a quick decision and chose to evacuate.

Where is Akromma?

But soon, Sakaki remembered this dark scientist.

Dr. Nanbo is likely to be arrested. If Akroma is also removed, Team Rocket's scientific research will probably stagnate.

Mewtwo calmly replied, "It has already been safely returned to headquarters."

Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's good that Akromma is still around.

As for South Bo...

Let's just give it away.

You still have to let go of what you should let go of.

……

……

"Guys, it's time for our performance! Let's get the good news to the leader as quickly as possible!"

Dr. Nanbo was completely unaware of the real reason for Sakaki's departure, assuming that the leader was busy with other matters.

He turned and manipulated the control panel, locking onto the coordinates of Thunder Island, Fire Island, and Ice Island, and initiated the missile launch procedure without hesitation.

Rumble!
Several missiles, trailing plumes of fire, hurtled toward the three holy islands, only to be destroyed in mid-air by a sudden burst of flames, lightning, and frost just before they were about to hit.

But see.

Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno have appeared!
The three legendary birds spread their wings and hovered in the air, their gazes piercing through the sea surface, locking onto the Team Rocket submarine lurking in the distance.

"They've appeared! The powerful Trio of Sacred Birds!"

Upon seeing this, Dr. Nanbo immediately ordered, "Everyone, dive into the deep water! Then sail to your assigned islands!"

The submarines plunged deep into the sea and soon disappeared from sight.

Having lost their target, the three legendary birds immediately turned their attention to each other, instantly engaging in a chaotic melee.

Lightning flashed and surged through the clouds, raging waves and biting cold intertwined, and raging fires blazed on the island, making the entire sea seem like it was facing its end.

Seeing this, Dr. Nanbo smiled as if to say, "Just as I expected."

He has been collecting a lot of information these days.

Just as he had predicted, when the three sacred birds appeared to protect their respective sacred islands, the natural balance of heaven and earth had been broken.

The thunderstorms caused by Zapdos, the scorching waves stirred up by Moltres, and the cold wave brought by Articuno are clashing with each other, causing the energy field of this sea area to become violently disordered.

To quell this natural crisis caused by the battle of the three legendary birds, the sea god Lugia will surely appear to restore balance!
This is the perfect opportunity for them to capture legendary Pokémon!
"Let's fight! As long as you fight, whether it's the legendary birds or Lugia, they'll all be ours for Team Rocket!"

Dr. Nanbo was engrossed in his fantasy of capturing Lugia when the deep sea suddenly surged violently.

A dark shadow appeared on the screen.

When he saw the enormous figure emerging from the waves, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

A "whale" Pokémon stood in front of his ship, its white teeth flashing mockingly, giving off a creepy vibe.

Dr. Nanbo gripped the edge of the control panel tightly, his head feeling like it was about to explode.

Isn't this Georgotha?
Why are legendary Pokémon, which should be thousands of miles away, appearing in the Orange Islands?!

Before Dr. Nanbo could think it through, Kyogre had already stirred up a massive wave.

The whirlpool forcibly lifted the entire submarine fleet to the surface, the metal hulls rocking violently in the waves, like toys carelessly overturned by a naughty child.

"Damn it...why is Kyogre here! No...these three legendary birds working together might be able to take down Kyogre!"

Dr. Nanbo, fighting off his dizziness, looked at the monitor, thinking about watching the three legendary birds battle Kyogre.

However, all he saw was a bluish-white flame tearing through the gloomy clouds.

When Professor Nanbo saw the pure white dragon silhouette and the trainer sitting on the dragon's neck, his blood ran cold—the appearance of Reshiram and Li Xuan meant that Team Rocket's carefully planned operation had been completely exposed!

"Wow!"

The three sacred birds sensed Li Xuan's presence and launched a fierce attack simultaneously.

Zapdos unleashed a torrent of lightning, Moltres unleashed blazing flames, and Articuno summoned piercing frost. The three attacks combined and hurtled toward Li Xuan!

"Rahiram".

Li Xuan said softly.

Reshiram simply raised its dragon head, and the blue and white flames spread out like the dawn.

Wherever it passes, thunder disappears, fire extinguishes, and ice melts.

The combined attack of the three sacred birds was so easily neutralized!
"Wow!"

Upon seeing this, the three sacred birds flew into a rage, and their wings once again gathered violent energy.

Just at this critical moment, scorching hot rocks suddenly rose from the sea, and Groudon's majestic body broke through the waves.

Countless cliff swords, wreathed in magma, shot into the sky and struck the abdomens of three legendary Pokémon with pinpoint accuracy.

"Wow..."

The sacred birds cried out in anguish, falling like kites with broken strings.

The once invincible Three Sacred Birds now lay disheveled on the rocks, their wings spread out in disarray, and the energy radiance surrounding them had dimmed.

Kyogre slowly rose from the waves, gazing at the defeated sacred birds, and let out a long cry towards the seabed.

Deep in the ocean, Lugia awakens from its slumber, its silvery-white wings fluttering gently in the undercurrents.

It raised its head, perceiving the unusual energy fluctuations on the sea surface with confusion.

Lugia was awakened by Kyogre's shouts and was unaware that the world outside had been turned upside down.

"What's wrong... Holy crap?"

Lugia broke through the waves and surfaced on the sea. When it saw the three legendary birds lying on the rocks, Reshiram circling in the air, Groudon and Kyogre standing between the waves, its wings froze in mid-air.

The sea god was completely bewildered.

"Luggia, let me tell you what happened."

Li Xuan slowly stepped forward and explained to Lugia the Rockets' plot to capture it.

Lugia nodded slightly. Although it didn't quite understand what "Team Rocket" specifically referred to, looking at the miserable state of the three legendary birds and the lineup of legendary Pokémon in front of it, it knew very well that it had indeed escaped by sheer luck.

and so……

They probably didn't come here to cause trouble, right?
