Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

Since Ruozong set off under the name of an investigation team, he needed to organize his personnel and make arrangements for a series of things before leaving.

That's why it takes five days.

And Luo Ke...

After talking with Jiang Chuan, he said goodbye to Yurika and left.

With his speed, he was very efficient when he traveled before, sometimes traveling and sometimes sightseeing. Now, with Kyogre on his mind, he set off at full speed. The journey from Shenzhou to the Seven Islands was such a long distance, but he only took less than a day.

If you exclude time for meals and rest, it might be less than ten hours!

Exceptionally fast.

And the method of traveling...

Have Necrozma memorize the map, point out the direction, and then find a coastal spot to jump off into—that's it!

Almost the entire journey took place underwater.

With Mewtwo's psychic power protecting him, being underwater is no different from being on land for Roco.

Moreover, because they maintained a mental link, they were able to talk to Victini and the others along the way, and even use their mental powers to see the scenery underwater. Apart from being a bit faster, this could even be considered a special trip.

After arriving at the Seven Islands, Luo Ke did not go ashore, but instead dived down into the deeper seabed below the Seven Islands.

According to Jiang Chuan, Kyogre lies dormant in this deep sea.

'That's not right...'

As Rocco descended, Necrozma's voice rang out in the mental link.

"...Roco, as you dived into this abyss, I did begin to sense the power of the sea gathering here, but the concentration of that power is wrong!"

'If a large amount of energy is sent into the Abyss over a long period, then the power concentration in the Abyss will definitely be higher than that of Mount Rodan.'

'But the power concentration here is much lower than at Mount Rodan, as if it only started to 'swirl' after sensing that its old rival had increased the speed at which it was gathering power!'

Ok?

As Luo Ke descended, his brow furrowed slightly.

'Tini?'

In the spiritual connection, the first to ask a question was Bictini.

Its meaning is very simple.

Is it possible that Groudon was the one who rolled first?

'...Unlikely.'

"We've encountered the energy of those precious orbs before. You should have sensed it from the sheer ferocity of their energy; this natural force, though powerful, isn't easy to control."

'After Groudon regained most of its power, it still drew upon a large amount of natural energy. Even though it was very strong, the ferocity within that energy wouldn't truly control it, but it would make its temper worse and its destructive desires stronger.'

'Both it and Kyogre are masters of manipulating natural forces; they couldn't possibly be unaware of this.'

Groudon just wants to defeat Kyogre and cover the ocean with land, not to destroy it along with Kyogre.

'I don't think it will go berserk if it doesn't feel threatened.'

Upon hearing Necrozma's explanation, Mewtwo and Victini were all puzzled.

Even the Fairy King's Sword and the Fighting King's Shield were somewhat puzzled.

Only then did Luo Ke finally speak.

'Almost there.'

So let's stop guessing and check on Kyogre's situation first.

With that, Rocco plunged into the deepest part of the abyss.

Logically, light shouldn't reach this place, so in complete darkness, everything must be explored using mental power.

But there is light in the deepest caves of the abyss.

The power of the ocean converged in one place, and within this cave, countless blue orbs of light, like fireflies, drifted down like scattered snowflakes.

Logically, at this depth, the area should be filled with uneven rock walls, occasional bursts of hot air, and... a dense mass of various 'small creatures' piled up like a snowfield.

Dirty and horrifying, that's how it should be at the bottom of the abyss.

But it's very clean here.

There was nothing wriggling around; the only creatures that occasionally passed by were beautiful fish and fish fairies that didn't look like deep-sea creatures at all. Their carefree lives in the cave made it stand out from the rest of the deep sea, like a secluded 'Shangri-La'.

The core of this is the slumbering deity under the protection of the world.

Kyogre, the god of the sea!

After seeing it, Necrozma's explanation was unnecessary, because Roko and the others had seen Groudon before, so the difference between Kyogre and Groudon was immediately obvious.

'The power gathered within it is immense, exceeding Groudon's by at least two levels!'

Mewtwo sighed, and Rocco stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

'Yes, and while Kyogre is much stronger, it's far less ferocious than Groudon.'

They were all puzzled, and Necrozma... its tone was quite complex when it spoke.

'Much of Kyogre's ferocity stems from its accelerated absorption of natural energy during this period, and it's possible that the gathered power isn't two to three levels higher than Groudon's—Groudon has a crimson orb, but the indigo orb isn't on Kyogre.'

'If it recalls the orb, then with its power, it might be more than 50% stronger than Groudon!'

'Perhaps Groudon sensed this situation through a method we don't know, which is why it chose not to wake up first, but instead gathered a large amount of power.'

Necrozma's words surprised Rocco and the others even more.

because...

'Necrozma, what's going on? Shouldn't Groudon and Kyogre be evenly matched? Why does Kyogre seem stronger than Groudon?'

Necrozma's tone became more complicated when faced with this question.

It's very simple.

'This is definitely not something Kyogre could have done on his own. The one currently wielding the Indigo Orb gathered natural power through it, filtered out the violent elements within that power, and then actively provided Kyogre with a cleaner version of that power.'

Upon hearing this, Victini and Mewtwo hadn't reacted yet, but Rocco's brows furrowed even more deeply.

However, he didn't speak at this moment, but listened silently to Necrozma's conclusion on the matter.

'This couldn't have been done by an elf.'

'If the indigo orbs were touched by elves, those with a higher affinity for the forces of nature would definitely be controlled by that violent power. Even those with strong willpower would find that resisting this violence is their limit.'

"But it's different when humans obtain the pearl. When the main family obtained the pearl, their extraction of that violent power was essentially a filtering of natural forces."

'so...'

'Humans are helping Garen.'

......

4. If he cared about his reputation, he wouldn't be Changshi.

The Seven Islands is a collective name for seven islands.

The seven islands, from east to south, are Winter Island, Orange Island, Torch Island, Moon Island, Whale Island, Hermit Island, and finally, Ocean Island.

Winter Island, Whale Island, Hermit Island, and Ocean Island are collectively known as the Four Islands of Shenzhou.

Orange Island, Torch Island, and Moon Island are three of Australia's main islands.

The seven islands, just like their names suggest, each have their own unique characteristics, whether due to time, technology, celestial phenomena, animals, plants, location, geography, or so on.

The largest airport in the seven islands is located on Torch Island, which is the most technologically advanced and best-developed of the seven islands.

Now, Changshi personally led the employees of Company A to guard this place, preparing to welcome the investigation team that came from the Alliance.

"Boss, is it really necessary for us to act like this? With our influence in the Seven Islands, is it really necessary for us to be so humble for the little thing we've done?"

Beside Chang Shi, a young man who had only recently been promoted by him stood with his arms crossed, asking a question with some confusion as he waited.

Chang Shi glanced at him, and he could tell what Chang Shi was thinking from his face.

Young and impetuous.

He didn't scold him or give him a cold look; he just spoke to him very naturally.

“Ah Guang, this has nothing to do with how much power we have. What matters is our ability. We should do what we are capable of. Under the rules of the alliance, this is the limit of what we can do with our abilities.”

"If we insist on doing something bigger, then things will escalate from conflicts between people to a battle between forces—which will not benefit us in any way."

"Therefore, recognizing one's own abilities and then doing things within those abilities, while also solving problems within those abilities, is a skill that requires experience."

"I understand your thoughts; after all, we're feeling a bit stifled right now."

"So once we've sorted out everything that's been going on lately, and we did manage to snatch a big sum of money from Company Z, I'll take you guys out for a while, you can all have some fun! It'll be paid! Plus, you'll get bonuses based on overtime!"

Hearing what Changshi said, the young man he called A-Guang still couldn't fully understand, but thinking about the paid trip he would be able to take with him, he stopped questioning it and nodded with a smile.

Changshi was satisfied with this.

After all, it is difficult to change a person's mind. We cannot simply lecture or suppress young people. We need to guide them to listen, observe, and experience more, and they will understand sooner or later.

Suppressing him would be counterproductive. As long as he doesn't cause problems or develop bad character traits during this period, and can distinguish right from wrong and have some self-awareness, that's enough.

That's how he got through it.

His parents, teachers, and other elders also taught him this way.

It's just that he came from a good family, so he understood and experienced these things very early on. Many of his current subordinates don't come from such good families, so he has to teach them these things slowly.

Seeing this scene, another subordinate of Changshi also sighed.

He had been with Chang Shi for a long time and had seen the same scene many times. He himself had also experienced similar things, so now he only felt respect and gratitude towards Chang Shi.

This made him repeatedly organize what he needed to explain to the investigation team in his mind, not wanting to make the slightest mistake.

While chatting with A-Guang, Chang Shi noticed his expression and smiled as he put his arm around him.

"Oh, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"Anyway, we're prepared to be lenient if we confess and severe if we resist. The people the Alliance sent are all idealistic. They'll get angry, and they might even curse at us, but that's about it."

"It doesn't hurt or itch, and there's nothing to be afraid of."

"In the end, they will still act according to the rules."

"We have no intention of defying the rules of the alliance, so what do we have to be afraid of?"

"Do you think the Alliance would send us all to the execution ground for such a trivial matter?"

They won't...

When Changshi finished speaking, he was completely stunned.

Because he saw the investigation team.

These people were all wearing official league uniforms, and when they gathered together, they were very conspicuous even in a crowd, making it impossible not to see them.

so...

Changshi also saw their leader!

The other person had slicked-back hair, a serious expression, and their features combined to form a face that was extremely familiar to Chang Shi.

Wakamune!

Wait...wasn't this guy captured by the Shenzhou champion because he wanted to attack Shenzhou?

It's one thing if someone with such ambition isn't executed after being caught, but instead manages to secure a decent position within the alliance!

Is this right?

Did he have some special deal with the league's top management?

Chang Shi thought so at first, but then immediately dismissed the possibility.

Because he understood Ruozong, and knew that even if there were a real opportunity to make a special deal, he would not sell his dignity for such a thing.

so...

This guy actually won again!
