I caught a Pokémon

So much so that when he saw the Gengar, his mind went blank. At that moment, the Gengar snatched the pocket that was hanging on his waist bag with both hands!

Oops!

The bag looked ordinary, but inside it was that crimson jewel!

I thought it would be safest to keep it on my person, but I never expected that it would still be stolen!

Redflame Pine's expression changed drastically, and he reached out to snatch it back, but it was too late. The Gengar suddenly grew taller and, with a series of eerie "hehehe" laughs, floated away into the distance!

To his utter astonishment, a man emerged from behind a volcanic rock and caught the bag securely in his hand!

It's that man named Xia You!!

Chi Yansong immediately realized something. He gritted his teeth and looked back and forth between Huo Yan and Xia You with an incredulous gaze!

"Fire Goose, how dare you betray me?! Betray the entire Lava Team!!!"

It's easy to see from his distorted expression how angry and furious Chi Yansong was at that moment!

Huoyan froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

The betrayal was not her intention, but she was forced by circumstances, but who would believe that?

Xia You stood there, took the pearl out of her pocket, confirmed it was correct, put it back in, and tied it behind her back.

Looking up and seeing this scene, he smiled slightly: "Red Flame Pine, your cadre is already my prisoner. I was the one who had her bring me here. How about that? Didn't expect that, did you? Not only did I escape from your base, but I also arrived here ahead of time. Now the pearl is in my hands, and your plan is doomed to fail!"

This infuriated Chiyansong.

And... prisoners?

Are there such prisoners?

Seeing that Fire Goose was not being coerced in any way and was moving freely, Crimson Flame Pine naturally did not believe such nonsense.

Moreover, the more Xia You said that, the more he felt that this matter was not simple!

I see, now everything makes sense!

It must have been Huoyan who told this man about it!

It was this man who awakened Groudon!

That damned traitor!!

He was about to say something, but Groudon didn't give him the chance.

Groudon's attacks are indiscriminate, or rather, anything that dares to move in front of it will inevitably be hit by its Hyper Beam!

Xia You's choice to appear at this time naturally made it one of its targets.

Sure enough, Groudon has now condensed another destructive beam and shot it toward Xia You, Huo Yan, and Chi Yansong!

However, just as the destructive ray was halfway through its flight, another destructive ray shot out from another direction and struck it.

The two destructive beams collided, causing a violent explosion, which attracted Groudon's attention, causing it to turn and look in that direction.

Xia You's Tyranitar emerged from behind a volcanic rock and stared coldly at Groudon, showing no sign of backing down despite Groudon's imposing presence and more robust physique!

Its appearance naturally attracted Groudon's attention.

The two Pokémon simultaneously stepped towards each other, and a great battle seemed about to break out!

At this moment, Himura dragged his injured leg to Akamatsu's side.

In the recent explosion, his knee was cut by a small stone. Although it was not serious, it severely affected his mobility.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

What else can I do?

The Crimson Pine is now also at a loss.

His subordinates have fallen, his cadres have betrayed him, the precious pearl has been lost, and the target is going berserk. Could things get any worse?

He came full of confidence, but it was over before it even began, and with such a dismal ending.

Taking a deep breath, Crimson Pine tried to calm herself down.

"Let's retreat for now."

"retreat!?"

Looking at the fallen teammates behind him, Himura opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He only knew that he was really unwilling to leave like this.

Chi Yansong nodded and looked deeply at Xia You: "He has won this time, but this matter is not over yet! Our most urgent task now is to regroup our strength and then seize the opportunity to take back the pearl!"

Although Xia You didn't hear their conversation clearly, he sensed Crimson Flame Pine's intentions.

But since they wanted to leave, Xia You naturally wouldn't let them go.

This operation was extremely easy, requiring almost no effort. In fact, A-Quan's plan was over before it even truly began.

This made him feel very relieved, since every previous operation had been full of twists and turns, but it had never been this simple.

Just as he was about to order his Gengar to chase after and capture the two, something suddenly flashed before his eyes, and the next second, his Tyranitar had already crashed into a volcanic rock!

Chapter 709 Team Aqua makes its debut

Even after such a long journey and training, Tyranitar is still no match for Groudon in a one-on-one battle.

Whether it's size, defense, speed, or strength, he was undoubtedly outmatched.

Although the difference between the two Pokémon doesn't seem significant in terms of in-game stats, this is the real world, not just cold data. The gap in their strength is insurmountable unless Tyranitar undergoes Mega Evolution!

Not to mention that without a trainer's guidance, if it's just a brutal collision without any skill, even with a Tyranitar added, the two together still wouldn't be able to defeat Groudon.

This is the terrifying power of the ancient legendary Pokémon!

Its sheer presence alone is enough to make most Pokémon hesitate and be afraid to approach!

Splash...

Tyranitar struggled to its feet from the pile of rocks. It had only been fighting for a short while, but its body was already covered with wounds, all inflicted by Groudon during the battle. Despite this, there was no sign of retreat in its eyes!

Without much hesitation, it roared and charged at Groudon once more.

Whether or not it can win, at least it has the courage to fight!

Xia You turned her head and glanced at it.

Although he hadn't been paying attention to Bangiras or seen how it was defeated, he had already anticipated this outcome and wasn't surprised at all.

Tyranitar's collision slightly slowed Gengar's pursuit, allowing Redmoon and Fire Village to escape even further.

Fortunately, the impact was minimal.

In fact, compared to Groudon, Xia You's target has always been only Crimson Pine.

It's not that Crimson Flame Pine is particularly strong or intimidating; it's simply that his mindset is far too dangerous!

An ambitious man who leads such a large organization is undoubtedly more dangerous than Groudon!

If they can capture the Crimson Pine, Team Magma will be leaderless, and the entire organization will collapse in a short time without any further action. This would undoubtedly be a good thing for the people of the Hoenn region, as they would also have one less enemy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Xia You doesn't want to miss it no matter what!

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no intention of capturing this ancient legendary Pokémon, and there is no need to compete with Groudon here. As long as he can temporarily entangle it and buy himself some time, that will be enough.

He ordered Gengar to continue chasing Red Pine, and seeing that Tyranitar alone was unable to hold off Groudon, he was about to take out a few more Poké Balls to get other Pokémon to help when he suddenly heard A-Quan's urgent voice in his earphones again.

"Oh no, it's Team Aqua! I've been spotted!!"

Ocean Team?

Upon hearing the name, Xia You was momentarily dazed, thinking she had misheard.

How did Team Marines end up here?

Was it that A-Quan was hallucinating, or did he mistakenly say Team Magma was Team Ocean in his haste?

It wasn't until he was stunned for two seconds that he was really sure that what A-Quan had just said was the Ocean Team!

In that instant, A-Quan's submarine in the distance submerged again, and as soon as it surfaced, A-Quan hurriedly opened the hatch, jumped off the submarine, and ran towards Xia You!

Upon closer inspection, Ah Quan had even brought out the indigo blue bead along with it!

It has to be said that ever since he obtained this precious gem, A-Quan seems to be very afraid that it will be stolen again. In order to avoid giving the Ocean Team an opportunity, he carries it with him almost everywhere he goes. It can be said that they are inseparable.

Because it was inconvenient to carry, she usually kept the pearl in the submarine when she went out. Now that she had taken it out, it was clear that things had become quite urgent and troublesome.

Just as A-Quan jumped onto the island, a huge blue shark-shaped submarine broke through the surface of the sea not far behind her and emerged from the water!

In terms of shape and imposing presence, this massive blue shark-shaped submarine is roughly on par with the Lava Team's.

Even if it's the first time you've seen this submarine, just by looking at its paint scheme and markings, you know it must be the technology of the Marine Corps!

In a flash, Ah Quan had already run to Xia You's side, panting heavily.

She shoved the bag of indigo beads into Xia You's arms, lamenting, "It was my carelessness! I didn't expect Shui Wutong to have tuned his signal and frequency to match mine, which prevented me from noticing him and allowed him to sneak in here!"

It's not hard to tell from her words that since the submarines all came from the Marine Corps, Shui Wutong must have used some means to prevent Aquan from detecting his approach on radar, catching Aquan off guard and giving them a taste of their own medicine!

Indeed, no one should be underestimated...

only…

How exactly did they find Ah Quan, and how were they able to get here in such a short time?

During this time, Ah Quan had been hiding very well, not showing her face or doing anything that would attract attention, so how did they manage to locate her?

Although she couldn't quite understand it, Xia You now had both orbs in her hand after obtaining the indigo orb.

This is actually very dangerous.

If it is stolen, you may lose both of the precious pearls at the same time!

Although few people can take anything from him, what if they do?

He first tied both bags behind his back, then waved his hand and released his Raikou and Suicune, letting them temporarily entangle Groudon along with Tyranitar.

After doing all that, he turned his attention back to the submarine.

Since we're already here and there's no way to avoid it, we might as well just wait and see what the Ocean Team is up to!

In the distance, Gengar had caught up with Red Pine and Fire Village, but the two of them were not going to surrender easily. Seeing Gengar getting closer and closer, they released their Pokémon to fight back.

Although Gengar is very strong, far surpassing its kind, it is unable to deal with them for the time being.

The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate.

Now let's look at Groudon's side.

Once Suicune and Raikou appeared, they entangled it from the left and right, cooperating with Tyranitar to attack together, reminiscent of the Three Heroes fighting Lu Bu.

Groudon sensed the extraordinary nature of these two legendary Pokémon just from their aura. Although it didn't consider them as equally matched opponents, it still became much more focused.

It can be said that the first half of Aquan's plan went very smoothly. Indeed, after waking Groudon, he successfully lured Red Pine to the island, which facilitated his surprise attack.

But the sudden turn of events left Xia You somewhat bewildered.

Groudon is now actually tying his hands and feet!

In this situation, two burly men emerged from the giant submarine and stood on top.

Judging by their build and appearance, it goes without saying that these two men are Shui Wutong and Achao!

Looking at Xia You and A Quan, Shui Wutong's eyes were full of mockery: "Didn't expect that, did you? We've met again!"

His voice, amplified by the loudspeaker, was clearly transmitted to the two people even though they were far apart.

"Water Wutong!" Looking at his former leader, Aquan shouted with a complicated expression, "Why are you here!?"

Shui Wutong grinned maliciously: "Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's to get revenge for last time, and also to take back what originally belonged to me!"

After saying that, Shui Wutong seemed to have no desire to waste any more words with the two of them, and turned to nod to A Chao beside her.

They didn't make any visible movements, but the next second, numerous cannon barrels emerged from the massive submarine!

With Ah Chao's command, dozens of cannons of different calibers opened fire in succession, instantly covering the entire island!

Bang bang bang!

The sounds of artillery fire and explosions continued incessantly.

It's not hard to see that Water Wutong's purpose this time is actually quite simple.
