Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

vice versa.

Xia Chen's plan was simple: let Groudon and Kyogre fight it out on this deserted sea for a while, and then he would take the opportunity to go to Sky Pillar and use the Grass Orb to summon Rayquaza.

Once Xijiana and the others bring enough Keystones, they can use Mega Rayquaza to completely end this conflict.

The plan was perfect, and Groudon was quite cooperative. Seeing that Xia Chen was already getting further and further away with the Crimson Orb, it went completely mad.

Its pace quickened again, and the flames in its mouth never stopped, stirring up the entire sea and causing chaos.

He strode forward in a frenzy, like a wolf rampaging through a flock of sheep, wreaking havoc on the ocean.

But soon, it couldn't be arrogant anymore.

In the pitch-black night sky, the wind howled and the rain poured down, a stark contrast to the scorching and bright scenery behind Groudon.

Groudon's frantic sprint suddenly came to a halt, for it sensed a powerful aura, an aura it loathed—Kyogre.

Groudon was not disappointed. Beneath the dark, surging sea, a bright blue light suddenly shone. As the light intensified, a dangerous and terrifying aura, like that of an abyss, continued to approach.

Just as the aura expanded to the point of almost solidifying into a tangible form.

wow-

A towering wave crashed up, and Kyogre, a creature with a deep blue body, a semi-transparent body, and a body shimmering with a pale yellow light, leaped out of the water.

To be precise, this is not Kyogre, but Kyogre that has already completed Primal Regression!

A pair of jet-black eyes stared indifferently at Groudon, and a bright blue light shone brightly beneath the [α]-shaped patterns on its pectoral fins, which resembled wings.

As if it had been lying in wait, it gathered energy in front of it without hesitation.

The seawater seemed to respond to Kyogre's call with a tumultuous boil, and then four enormous, azure beams of light, brimming with explosive energy, shot out from in front of it.

Root fluctuation!

Chapter 331 Groudon: You're actually a pretty nice guy.

Hurry up—

The sound of the propellers churning the air was almost drowned out by the surging waves.

After navigating through a storm, a helicopter that took off from Sootopolis is finally catching up with Groudon.

The helicopter is equipped with Devon's most advanced live energy technology, and its performance, including speed and range, is among the best in the world.

But this helicopter, which can be described as "a shining example of human technology," did not dare to approach within 200 meters of Groudon.

It wasn't because getting any closer would melt them, but rather because the pilot feared that Groudon, clearly in a frenzied state, would attack everything in sight without restraint.

The helicopter pilot dared not gamble, and even though a war correspondent who was obsessed with the news kept urging him to get closer, he remained unmoved and simply followed Groudon from a distance.

Left with no other option, the reporter started a live broadcast from this angle, which could be considered the pinnacle of her career.

The camera was pointed at Groudon, the image shook for a moment, and after a brief period of noise interference, the camera stabilized.

Meanwhile, people throughout the Hoenn region who were eagerly awaiting news from Sootopolis finally witnessed the terrifying lava behemoth walking on the sea.

The crowd was in an uproar!

Compared to the photos circulating online, Groudon appears much larger and more ferocious in the live stream.

After all, the former was a casual shot taken from several kilometers away, while the latter was a follow-up shot taken from only two hundred meters away. The difference between the two is naturally vast.

Up close, the immense pressure emanating from this ancient legendary spirit is almost suffocating, practically overflowing the screen!

After giving Groudon a brief close-up shot, the reporter began the formal introduction.

"Viewers, this is Vivian, a reporter from Hoenn League Television. I am currently about 17 nautical miles southeast of Sootopolis City. Groudon was attracted by a mysterious aura and has come here. Although Sootopolis City is temporarily out of danger, we must continue to closely monitor Groudon's movements to prevent it from causing greater harm to human society!"

Apart from Mikey and a few others, no one else knew the reason why Groudon stopped land reclamation and left Sootopolis.

This is also why the helicopter came after them, to investigate what exactly is attracting Groudon.

If this question can be answered, could we use this thing to guide it to the depths of the ocean?

With these questions in mind, the helicopter continued forward.

…………

"As we can see, the further south we go, the darker the sky becomes. It seems to be pouring rain in the distance. We are probably close to Kyogre's territory, which is where Kyogre awakens."

Vivian had done her homework thoroughly and immediately figured out the reason for the unusual weather.

However, no matter how well you do your homework, you can't predict Groudon's next move.

"Roar--"

The roar that resounded throughout the universe spread outwards like a sonic attack, causing the helicopter following Groudon to shake violently.

If it weren't for the pilot's superb skills in adjusting, Groudon's shout alone would have been enough to make everyone on board suffer.

Vivian, pale-faced, steadied herself against the camera and forced a smile, saying, "Now, we're practically victims of Groudon's attack."

Before the words were even finished, the air currents became turbulent, and a violent aura surged in all directions. Suddenly, a series of explosions came from in front of Groudon!

But amidst the surging waves, towering stone pillars, each nearly a hundred meters tall, burst forth and soared into the sky!

Everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked. Such a spectacle, such a scale, could it really be just a single move?

Vivian was suddenly glad that the helicopter pilot hadn't listened to her advice and gotten too close. It was perfectly reasonable to have any amount of awe for legendary elves, especially those with astonishing power in legends.

She observed with lingering fear the enormous stone pillars rising from the sea, thick at the base and sharp at the tip, with molten lava gushing out from them.

Wait, is that an elf?

The sharp-eyed Vivian immediately spotted a tiny figure soaring and gliding above the stone pillar at the end of what looked like a [Sharp Stone Attack] attack.

She immediately pulled the camera over and adjusted the zoom level, zooming in and zooming in again.

Finally, as she approached the limit of magnification, she caught a glimpse of a blurry, crimson figure.

I wasn't mistaken; it really was an elf, and an elf carrying a human on its back!

Vivian's breath hitched; she had found the real reason Groudon had left the Glass Isle—

"I don't know if everyone can see this, but I can clearly observe that Groudon's attack was aimed at that tiny Pokémon on the screen and the person on its back. Undoubtedly, this is what attracted Groudon to leave Sootopolis City."

"The peaceful life you perceive is actually something that someone is bearing the burden for!"

…………

The news of "[The mysterious elf distracted Groudon]" quickly spread across the internet worldwide along with the video, and naturally sparked heated discussions among all those who were interested in the matter.

"Holy crap, what a tough guy! He dared to outmaneuver Groudon, he's truly skilled and daring!"

"Did you guys see those stone pillars that looked like broken swords attacking? They suddenly shot out hundreds of meters in an instant, it was terrifying! It's a wonder that elf was able to dodge them!"

"So here's the question: who are that elf and the person on its back, that they dare to do something so thrilling?"

"I also want to know, in the unlikely event that he has tragically perished, so that we, the citizens of Liuli, may know who we should thank."

"Don't worry, the internet experts are analyzing it frame by frame."

"Found him! The culprit who harassed Groudon has been found! @I'm not a pigeon!"

"Holy crap, it really does seem to be true. Crimson red, able to fly, capable of outrunning Groudon, and still in Sootopolis City—everything matches up! What a pigeon!"

"He warmed my heart and made me cry. I never expected to see Master Ge again in this kind of situation. I hope he's alright!"

"Sigh, I've been criticizing him for so long because of Cynthia. I'll never criticize him again."

"In times of crisis, only responsibility matters!"

"."

Xia Chen didn't have time to read the netizens' comments at the moment, because there was something even more exciting to watch—

Is there anything more exciting than Groudon versus Kyogre?

Kyogre, floating low above the sea, coldly watched Groudon, who was breathing heavily, with hot streams flowing in and out of his mouth and nose with each breath.

Several minutes had passed since the two gods clashed, and Groudon, unsurprisingly, was at a disadvantage in this battle of gods—it was already struggling due to type advantage, not to mention that Kyogre was still in its original form.

Fortunately, because it is a legendary elf, it has thick skin and can barely hold out for a while.

However, if this continues, Groudon will undoubtedly lose!

Xia Chen's presence here instead of heading to Sky Pillars wasn't simply for spectators; he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Groudon to be on the verge of collapse.

Groudon believes that the Crimson Orb in his possession is the only thing that could potentially rival his archenemy, and he intends to use it to achieve a certain goal.

The Crimson Jewel cannot control Groudon, but it can influence people's hearts. Even if control is not an option, it can at least provide an opportunity to befriend Groudon.

The continuous torrential rains covering this sea area have given Georgopols an even greater advantage.

It raised its head slightly and gazed at the sky, as if worried that something might fall from the sky, after confirming that the equally annoying guy had not appeared.

Suddenly, the bright blue light in front of him shone even brighter.

…………

boom--

Four more beams of light, imbued with terrifying energy, pierced through the rain and shot toward Groudon, which barely managed to retaliate by spitting out a Lava Bullet formed from fire-type energy.

The lava bomb, which is essentially a [large-character explosion], is undoubtedly powerful and could cause devastating damage if it were dropped on the city streets.

But in the face of the fundamental fluctuations, these terrifying bombs were like toys, child's play.

The terrifying energy of the primal fluctuations easily and completely engulfed the lava projectiles that were trying to block it; to say that it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot would be an exaggeration.

The azure light from the energy explosion shone brilliantly on Groudon's diamond-hard carapace, followed by a deafening explosion that sent towering waves crashing onto the sea surface.

Groudon, weighing tens of thousands of tons, staggered back a few steps under the immense impact of this attack.

With each step it took backward, it created towering waves beneath it, making the rain seem even heavier.

"Groudon, do you want the Crimson Orb?"

Groudon was pondering how to deal with this utterly despicable creature when a voice suddenly rang out.

It's not in my ears, it's in my heart.

If an ordinary human were to shout themselves hoarse trying to talk to a Pokémon the size of Groudon, it would probably be less than the buzzing of a mosquito in its ears.

Therefore, Xia Chen naturally used waveguide power to communicate with it.
