Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Even as Groudon's recovery gradually improved, Genji found it increasingly difficult to keep up.

That's Groudon after all. Even if it hasn't fully recovered its strength, it would still be a bit of a stretch for one of the Elite Four to stop it.

In other words, Genji's tactical system centered around the Tanabata Bluebird was quite good; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to stop it at all.

"Roar--!!"

With Groudon's roar, sharp pillars of magma suddenly rose from the seabed, forcing Genji to take cover.

But the next moment.

Under the intense sunlight, Groudon rapidly gathered energy above its head and then shot a dazzling white beam of light from its mouth.

If Flygon is hit by this "sunbeam", the fragile balance between Genji and Groudon will likely be broken in an instant.

hum! !

Suddenly.

A ring of black ripples appeared in the path of the "sunbeam".

Like a black hole whose destination is unknown, the dazzling beams of light were completely absorbed upon approach.

Dark Cave!

Darkrai has made his move!

at the same time.

Riding on Latios, Natsuhiko and Ono arrived beside Genji.

His entire body was enveloped in black mist like flames, making it impossible to discern his appearance even up close. Only the outstretched hand resting on his hat revealed that he was human.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was another Darkrai wearing a hat.

“King Genji.” Xia Yan’s voice came from the black mist.

"Xia Yan?!"

Genji was somewhat surprised.

But with his rich experience, after a moment's thought, he understood Xia Yan's intention in hiding his identity.

I didn't dwell on this too much.

"Is this the Darkrai I warned you about last time? It and you..." Genji looked at the Darkrai that was battling Groudon.

Because of Groudon's recovery, Darkrai can even exert some suppression.

"Uh... I guess you could call him a friend," Xia Yan said, pausing for a moment.

I don't know how to explain my relationship with Darkrai.

But for now, we're friends on the same side.

“Friends…” Genji nodded.

Darkrai's appearance relieved his stress.

"By the way, did you see Reiku sitting there?" Genji asked hurriedly.

According to the documents preserved by the League, this is not the first time Groudon and Kyogre have been resurrected, but each time they appear, it is Rayquaza that quells their rage.

"I saw it, it..."

Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, a high-tech jet plane flew toward them at an extremely high speed.

The plane bears the Lava Team's symbol.

Genji's expression darkened.

Did Iron Whirlwind fail to completely stop Team Lava?

The plane landed in front of Groudon, and the cabin door opened quickly.

Standing at the door was Crimson Pine, his face filled with fanaticism.

In his hand was a fiery red object that glowed with an orange light and emitted a faint rumbling sound.

"That is......"

Xia Yan's pupils contracted upon seeing this.

"You know him?" Genji asked with a stern face.

Xia Yan's mind was churning wildly.

What Chiyansong held in his hand far exceeded his expectations.

He wouldn't be so surprised even if Crimson Pine appeared with the crimson pearl at this moment.

The only thing he has in his hands now...

Then Xia Yan said, enunciating each word clearly: "Lava...Amplifier!"

Furthermore, it has undergone some modifications, possibly utilizing a "Lava Amplifier" made from fragments of the original Groudon's shell!

That item was originally meant to evolve Magmar into Magmar.

The researcher he and Wataru were searching for in the harsh mountains, the one who escaped after blowing up the Alliance gene bank, had a Duckbill Fire Beast that evolved into a Duckbill Fire Beast through the "Lava Amplifier".

Xia Yan originally thought that the person was only involved with Tom Ruoqi and the Rockets.

But I never expected that it would be related to Team Lava.

How many people, organizations, and forces were involved in that incident?

Xia Yan felt as if an invisible net was being rapidly woven, attempting to envelop the entire elf world.

On this network, he didn't mention it, and even Tom Ruoqi might just be a relatively important node, but not the most crucial one.

My mind started to race with more and more guesses.

The more guesses you have, the less certain it becomes which one is the key.

"Lava amplifier?" Genji frowned.

He didn't know where this thing came from or what its purpose was.

The word "lava" could be heard, and the Crimson Flame Pine was willing to risk great danger to appear here.

All of this indicates that this thing will likely have extremely negative consequences!

"Darkrai!" Xia Yan quickly spoke, pointing to the "Lava Amplifier" in Crimson Pine's hand, "Destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, Darkrai hesitated for a moment before immediately doing as instructed.

just.

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Pine's eyes were filled with madness.

He handed the "Lava Amplifier" to a Houndoom beside him, and then ordered three Fire-Breathing Camels to stop Darkrai from getting closer.

Houndoom leaped directly into the fire, jumping towards Groudon.

The flames from the three Elite Four-class fire-breathing camels hindered Darkrai's movements.

They actually used a Champion-level Houndoom as a price to ensure Groudon obtains this item without fail!

As Houndoom's special "magma amplifier" came into contact with the somewhat drowsy Groudon.

hum-

The entire ocean surface trembled violently, centered on Groudon.

next second.

The terrifying lava was erupting in an even more frenzied manner than before.

A large amount of energy flowed into Groudon's body through the special "Lava Amplifier".

The black lines on its body.

Starting with the special ability "Lava Amplifier", it gradually turned golden.

"This is troublesome!"

Both Natsuhiko and Yuanji's hearts sank.

Even though Groudon didn't fully revert to its original form, its abilities were still terrifyingly amplified.

The rest.

All that could be heard was the ever-surging lava and the laughter of the Crimson Flame Pine, which usually seemed so refined but was now laughing hysterically.

Chapter 106 Put it to sleep

Rumble!!

A terrifying stone pillar filled with golden magma pierced through the plane carrying Crimson Flame Pine.

His wild, hysterical laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Om-! !

Groudon, its body covered in golden markings, suddenly opened its eyes.

Although it failed to return to its original form, it is undeniable that the Crimson Flame Pine's "Lava Amplifier" trait brought it a significant boost.

This "Cliff Sword" is much more powerful in scale than the previous "Cliff Sword".

Crimson Pine shouldn't have died directly from this "Cliffside Sword".

However, Xia Yan and the others didn't have time to deal with him.

Groudon has now gained even greater power.

“King Genji, I don’t think we should stop Kyogre anymore,” Xia Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Genji understood Xia Yan's meaning after a moment's thought.

just now.

It's no longer a question of whether Groudon and Kyogre can be prevented from colliding, or whether the damage can be minimized.

The balance between Groudon and Kyogre has been broken.
