Chapter 531: The Beaten Groudon
Groudon was now completely bewildered.
It had fought with Kyogre so many times, and the only one who had ever interfered was Rayquaza from the sky.
Why were there so many this time?
Judging from their auras, none of them seemed weak.
It had never seen the Pokémon that looked like Rayquaza, but it recognized Lugia.
Kyogre's old neighbor.
Why?
It had had a great time today, beating up Kyogre. After that, it should have run away quickly.
If this continued, when the Kyogre below recovered, would it get beaten up by three "people"?
Groudon wasn't sure, but it knew it should run.
But...
There were those who could fly in the sky, walk on the land, and swim in the sea.
How could it, a flightless being, escape?
"Kyo!"
Under the ocean, the long-silent Kyogre finally resurfaced, flew into the sky, and, with the other two divine beasts, formed a triangular formation, surrounding Groudon.
"Roar?"
Groudon swallowed, trembling slightly.
It didn't know if it could move. If it did, would it get hit?
"Go, Kyogre, Origin Pulse! Lugia, Hydro Pump!"
At this moment, Hikaru felt a surge of excitement, a rush of blood to his head.
Come on, the opportunity to command Legendary Pokémon was not something everyone could experience, okay?
And it was a battle of gods like this.
He had gotten a bit carried away.
The Kyogre below hesitated for a moment but ultimately gathered its energy, and a pillar of light-shaped energy formed in the air.
As for Lugia, it did not use Hydro Pump as Hikaru had said, but instead used Earth Power.
Zygarde showed no weakness either, gathering scorching energy in its mouth.
It was as if the Groudon in the middle was some kind of heinous sinner, currently undergoing some form of execution.
There were too many incoming attacks. For a moment, Groudon had no idea whose attack to defend against. Plus, the ground it had created was also beginning to shake.
The result was that Zygarde's Dragon Pulse, plus Kyogre's Origin Pulse, slammed fiercely onto Groudon's body.
"Awesome!"
Looking at the scene before him, Hikaru silently shouted in his heart.
A three-on-one situation.
Just this one blow made Groudon's Primal Form unstable and directly knocked it back.
"Roar!"
It even let out a pained cry of incomprehension and doubt.
At the same time, Hikaru's hands were not slow.
A purple Poké Ball appeared in his hand.
That's right.
It was a Master Ball!
Even Kyogre said that Groudon's Red Orb had been tampered with.
Shouldn't he ask about it properly?
He might as well use the system's Master Ball to lock Groudon up and see the effect.
So, the moment Groudon exited its Primal Form, Hikaru had Latias get a little closer to Groudon and threw the Master Ball out with his Aura Force.
Touching the spot where it had been hit by Kyogre, Groudon felt inexplicably wronged. It looked up, just about to talk to Kyogre about a one-on-one.
But it found that a tiny Poké Ball was thrown over its head.
Groudon was furious.
Which blind human dares to throw a Poké Ball at me?
This thing can't catch...
A red light flashed.
The Master Ball floated in the air, shaking violently from the inside, but the Pokémon within just couldn't get out.
After a good while, it finally calmed down.
However, it was this calmness that stunned all the Legendary Pokémon present.
They could only watch as Hikaru took the Poké Ball containing Groudon in his hand.
"Got it~"
Looking at the Groudon in his hand, Hikaru nodded with satisfaction. He suddenly realized something was wrong, looked up at his surroundings, and saw three pairs of eyes staring intently at him.
And it wasn't just three pairs of eyes; the crowd watching from a distance was also dumbfounded.
Three Legendary Pokémon.
Kyogre, Groudon, and a nameless great serpent.
You just went and caught the Groudon that the three of them beat down, without a second word?
And they just watched you catch Groudon like that?
Also, why did they just watch you catch Groudon?
Why didn't Groudon break out of the Poké Ball?
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a Poké Ball that can catch a Legendary Pokémon now, right?
If it was unwilling, Groudon could have come out with just a slight struggle!
Could it be that it was afraid of the three Legendary Pokémon outside, so it's hiding?
Everyone felt this reason was very plausible.
It was just that Hikaru, in the middle of it all, felt a bit awkward. "Ahaha... why are you all staring at me?"
"I just locked Groudon up."
The few Legendary Pokémon looked at each other. Zygarde was the first to break.
It was just here to deal with the ecological environment. Now that the source of the ecological problem—Groudon—had been resolved, it naturally had no more business here.
Countless green lights surged in all directions, and it turned back into the form of a cell. It was just a bit weak when it fell, and it was Hikaru who had Latias catch it.
"Human, you cannot capture it."
Kyogre thought for a moment and kindly reminded him via telepathy, "Although I don't know why it's not coming out, when it does, you won't be able to restrain it."
"No, I was thinking, didn't you say that Groudon might have been attracted by the Red Orb and then influenced by some kind of energy attached to it? Aren't you curious about who influenced Groudon?"
Hikaru waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to capture Groudon.
Kyogre: "Not curious."
Hikaru: "..."
Why aren't you curious?
It was manipulated to fight you!
"There's nothing to be curious about. For us, such things are just for fun. It probably enjoys this kind of thing too, wanting to see what the other party does with its power...."
Kyogre's voice was very soft, with an ethereal quality.
But the words it spoke left Hikaru stunned.
So Groudon also knew what it was doing...
Oh right, a God of the Land, although it looks a bit dumb, how could it be so easily and completely controlled?
Makes sense.
However, Hikaru still wanted to ask clearly who was the one who had tampered with the Red Orb.
The next second, Kyogre's voice sounded in his mind again.
This time, it was filled with a sudden joy. "Thanks to you this time, for letting me fight back."
It could be seen that Kyogre was still quite excited.
It thought for a moment, then gently brought up a stream of water from the ocean, which then flowed through Hikaru's palm.
"In the future, if you have any trouble, as long as you are on the sea, I can come and help you."
With that, Kyogre didn't stay any longer and dived into the ocean.
As for the Groudon still locked in the Poké Ball, what did that have to do with it?
If this human could really convince Groudon to follow him temporarily, with a human's lifespan of just a fleeting hundred years, Groudon would soon be free again.
For them, all of this was just for fun...
