Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

The sky in the direction of Chimney Mountain was dyed a sickly crimson, and even from this distance, the abnormal plumes of smoke constantly erupting from the crater could be seen.

That's definitely not a natural phenomenon; it's more like...

"Ring ring—"

The shrill ringing interrupted his thoughts.

Mikoli reached into his pocket in frustration, but froze when he saw the caller ID.

Hibiscus's name flashed rapidly on the screen, with the background still showing a photo of her holding the Night Giant from last year's celebration party.

"Hibiscus?"

When he answered the phone, his voice was slightly hoarse from days of fatigue, "What about Mount Oshin..."

"Mikoli!"

Furong's shout, mixed with the crackling of electricity, went, "Treasure Pearl has been borrowed! It's by a trainer from out of town!"

In the background noise, she could faintly hear an old man coughing and Umbreon's anxious cries, "He's with Reshiram and Zekrom... and Kyurem! Kyogre is already..."

The call abruptly ended, leaving only a hollow busy tone.

Mikoli stood frozen in place.

Now we know what's going on.

......

......

Rahiram's pure white wings pierced the crimson sky as it hovered above Chimney Mountain.

Even though it was almost dusk, the entire mountain range was still bathed in an eerie daylight.

The orange-red glow emitted by the boiling lava dyed the clouds like burning silk, and the heatwave distorted every inch of air.

Li Chen raised his hand to shield his face from the sulfurous wind, and through his fingers he could see golden-red molten lava seeping from the cracks on the mountain's surface.

The lava flows that should have solidified were eerily suspended in mid-air, Reshiram's tail flames flickered uneasily, and the blue light flashing between his manes was particularly dazzling in the high temperature.

"It's right down here..."

Li Chen gently stroked the burning crimson bead in his backpack, feeling a resonance between the bead and the depths of the earth.

The entire Chimney Mountain suddenly trembled violently, and a huge basalt rock collapsed with a roar, revealing a bottomless crimson abyss below.

That was an ancient being whose every step would cause the continental shelf to tremble—Groudon, the Lord of the Earth, was opening its golden pupils deep within the lava.

Li Chen flicked his fingertips, and a purple Master Ball appeared in his palm.

The dark light flowing across the surface of the sphere and the red light of Chimney Mountain tore at each other, drawing strange energy trajectories in the air.

"How about I hand this opponent over to you?"

He whispered to the sphere, and the space inside the Master Ball trembled slightly, but there was no response.

The sphere reflected his playful smile, an expression that clearly indicated he had expected this.

"Therefore, silence is tacit consent."

Before the words were even finished, the Master Ball had already spun and plummeted into the lava abyss.

As the sphere fell, it accelerated continuously, and the friction between its outer shell and the hot air produced eerie purplish-red sparks.

The instant it touched the lava surface—

"boom!!!"

A dark red energy column, hundreds of meters in diameter, shot into the sky, instantly vaporizing the suspended magma flow.

Wuji Tai's ferocious dragon-skeletal body stretched out in the torrent of energy, with each vertebra bursting forth with terrifyingly large particles.

It didn't roar, but the eerie light burning in its empty eye sockets caused the lava throughout Chimney Mountain to flow backward...

Chapter 618 VS Groudon

"Li Chen, you son of a bitch..."

Wujitana's bone wings trembled violently, and dark red energy surged wildly between his spine.

It hovers above the lava, its hollow eye sockets staring intently at the trainer, with Dynamax particles forming a dangerous vortex around it.

But soon, the energy of the uprising gradually subsided.

after all...

Life after being subdued wasn't too bad.

The amount of energy extracted each day is negligible for a cosmic-level being like it. Not to mention, the energy cubes provided by Li Chen are indeed delicious, and the Master Ball's habitat is comfortable enough.

Moreover, it really did let Li Chen down.

Thinking of this, Eterna's bone tail impatiently smashed a piece of floating magma rock.

It turned to face the boiling crater.

Since we're obligated to pay for their food, it's okay to stretch our muscles occasionally.

Its spine lights up segment by segment, beginning to accumulate the energy of a powerful cannon.

This time, they directly targeted the colossal entity awakening deep within the Earth's core.

boom!!!

A dark red torrent of energy flowed into the earth's veins, directly triggering a localized eruption of Chimney Mountain.

Eternal Tana gracefully circled amidst the rain of fire, not forgetting to give Li Chen a universally recognized friendly gesture with its bone wings.

"Guhou——!!!"

A roar from the depths of the earth caused the entire Chimney Mountain to collapse instantly, and the shockwave, carrying the smell of sulfur, tore the clouds within a ten-mile radius to shreds.

Suddenly, countless sharp rock peaks rose from the surface of the lava lake, each flowing with golden-red magma, like the thorn crown of a fallen angel in mythology!

Wujitana rapidly increased its altitude, and the gigantic particles bursting from between its bone wings crushed the incoming rubble into dust.

But the real killing blow has only just begun—

Rumble!

Hundreds of giant rock swords, each over ten meters in diameter, cleaved through the magma, shooting towards the sky at speeds defying the laws of physics.

The heatwave lifted Li Chen's bangs, revealing his extremely excited pupils below.

Sword of the Precipice!

"Reshiram, Blue Flame!"

Li Chen's orders exploded amidst the heatwave.

Reshiram's pure white wings suddenly unfurled, and the engine at its tail overclocked, bursting forth with a blazing white light like the core of the sun.

"Roar--!"

With a deafening roar, it tilted its long neck back, and a blinding blue flame shone from its throat.

When the dragon's head suddenly tilted forward, the breath containing real fire poured down like divine punishment!

Wherever the blue flames passed, Groudon's stone blades shattered.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mugenta swooped down, its bone wings precisely cleaving through the last few stray stone blades.

It glanced back at Li Chen, and the ghostly fire in its eye sockets flared slightly.

But soon.

"Gure roar!!!"

Groudon's furious tremors echoed from the depths of Chimney Mountain, and the entire land began to bulge unnaturally.

The vermilion pearl suddenly floated into the air on its own, and ancient patterns resonating with the earth's veins appeared on its surface.

Just then, the surface of the lava lake suddenly churned violently.

"Guhou!"

With a deafening roar, a mountain-like black shadow cleaved through the crimson waves.

Groudon's body slowly rose up, with golden-red lava flowing through every pattern on its tortoise shell, like the manifestation of the earth's blood.

Its gilded vertical pupils were fixed on the enemy hovering in the air.

Reshiram's elegant wings and Wuji's suspended skeletal body—everything about them pierced the nerves of this Lord of the Earth.

Its forepaws slammed heavily onto the surface of the lava, sending up waves of fire that were hundreds of meters high!

It's these again...

Arrogant flyer!

As this thought exploded in its consciousness, the volcanoes on its back erupted simultaneously.

The magma flowing in the cracks of its shell suddenly boiled, forming countless suspended lava balls around it, each one reflecting its increasingly ferocious pupils!

Fire-breathing!

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of lava missiles shot out, each trailing a long fiery tail and drawing a deadly parabola in the air!

The colossal particles between the Wujita's bone wings suddenly vibrated violently. Instead of dodging, it swooped down into the rain of lava projectiles.

Its spine glowed with a dark purple light, and when it opened its ferocious jaws, a spiral-shaped energy wave suddenly erupted!

Dragon Pulse!!!

The moment the dark purple torrent of energy collided with the swarm of lava projectiles, it strangely froze in mid-air.

Two completely different energies tore at each other, distorting space and creating visible cracks.

"Meteor shower".

Reshiram spread its wings and took flight. It turned its head and let out a clear dragon roar towards Wujita, conveying clear tactical instructions in its mental fluctuations.

"Bone Dragon, get out of the way."

With a flap of its bone wings, Wuji Taina retreated hundreds of meters in an instant.

Just as it dodged, Reshiram raised its long neck high, and a dazzling ball of light condensed in its throat.

When this energy projectile, containing dragon-type energy, shot into the clouds, the entire sky suddenly darkened!

"boom!"

After a deafening roar that seemed to shatter the heavens, countless crimson meteors pierced through the clouds.

These burning meteorites did not fall in a straight line, but were precisely directed towards the area where Groudon was located under the guidance of Reshiram's mental power!

"Guhou!"

Groudon furiously raised its front paws, attempting to summon "Cliff Blade" to defend itself. However, the impact of "Meteor Shower" far exceeded expectations, and the first wave of meteors slammed half of its body into the lava lake.

Subsequent meteorites followed in quick succession, and the shockwaves from the explosions created terrifying vortices in the lava flow of Chimney Mountain...

"Meloetta, an ancient song."

As he finished speaking, Li Chen's satchel trembled slightly.

With a soft click as the zipper slid open automatically, a figure in emerald green floated out gracefully.

Meloe Tower floated in mid-air, with energy notes slowly flowing around it.

When the first note escaped its lips, time and space across the entire battlefield seemed to freeze.

"Melo Melo~"

Wherever the sound waves passed, even the boiling magma calmed its raging ripples.

Groudon's golden vertical pupils suddenly blurred, and its raised giant claws hovered in mid-air.

The boiling magma on its carapace cooled at a visible rate, and the erupting craters gradually subsided.

The hypnotic waves contained in the ancient song are penetrating its millennia-old rage, like a mother's lullaby soothing her infant.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wujitana gathered its immense energy, and the purple light between its bone wings gradually dimmed.

Reshiram also landed, its tail flame adjusted to a gentle red glow.
