Chapter 658: Battle between land and sea!

“Retreat.”

Looking at the members of the Lava Team who were retreating like the tide, A'du showed no sign of relaxing.

Rather, he thought of some bad things.

"I've never heard of the roar of beasts and the cry of whales. More importantly, the sudden change in weather."

"Could it be that--"

Adu's thoughts were interrupted by Nemo, Shinji and Shizuka who ran over from the encirclement of the retreating navy fleet.

Although they were puzzled as to the reasons for the two groups' retreat, they did not feel nervous as they did not know much about the myths and legends of the Hoenn region.

"Wow! It's really Mr. A'du!"

Nemo came trotting over holding the umbrella that Shizuka gave her. Her eyes lit up especially when she saw Adu and his signature flamboyant red hair.

If the current situation was not suitable for her to do so, she would have immediately invited the other party to a Pokémon battle!
After all, Nimo had heard of the name of the Dragon Messenger Adu even though he was as far away as the Padia region.

Shinji and Shizuka also called out to Adu with a hint of admiration.

"You came just in time."

Adu nodded slightly towards the three of them. If it weren't for Nimo and the others who shared half of the pressure, he might have been trapped and unable to escape without all the main forces.

Although if they don't break out, I can still stay undercover.

"Based on the current situation, it is speculated that the super ancient Pokémon that was contained was most likely released for some reason."

“This is a crisis, but also an opportunity.”

"I know where Team Magma is holding Ash. Let's get him out first, and then we can think about further action."

During the mission, A'du's mind always remained calm and clear.

He understood that since he couldn't reverse the current situation of the super ancient Pokémon escaping, he should finish what he can first and consider the next step along the way.

A'du briefly described his plan.

"I'm taking Gon, Haruka, and Sheng to rescue Satoshi. Nemo, can you help me contact these two people outside the signal blocking area and inform them of the current situation?"

Showing the communication device in his hand with only two contacts set up, Adu looked at Nemo, Shinji and Shizuka.

As the former gym leader, Brock did not bring the main force with him, and it is difficult for Rock-type Pokémon to achieve anything at sea.

Xiaoyao is both a novice trainer and a coordinated trainer who is not good at fighting.

Her younger brother Xiaosheng didn't even receive his initial Pokémon.

He was confident that he could rescue Xiaozhi and Adu while taking care of them, but he was somewhat overwhelmed to go to the sea which was bound to become dangerous and look for an area with a signal to call for help.

Nemo's strength has just been verified. Shinji and Shizuka are also students taught by Luo Mu. Even though it is shameful to entrust such a task to these young people, this is the only solution Adu can come up with at present.

Nemo took the communication device and looked at the contacts marked as Daigo and Mikoli. Her eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times.

It seems that the situation is somewhat urgent now.
After exchanging a glance with Shinji and Shizuka, Nimo nodded, "Please leave it to us, Mr. Adu!"

They were originally planning to call the police, but they accidentally met Xiaogang and his friends, so they ran to Mengs Island.

A'du's eyes lit up, "I can also lend you my Gyarados to ride on. As long as you can hold your breath, it will be easier to walk through the sea than on the sea."

Looking at the pouring rain, one can tell how dangerous the situation on the sea is right now. Adu's own Gyarados has undergone systematic training as an investigator, so it should be no problem for him to protect them from the storm.

"No need, Mr. Adu, you should keep Gyarados."

Nimo shook her head and explained that she also had a reliable sea mount.

The King of the Howler Whales was still waiting for them on the other side of the coast. With its size, it could easily conquer even the most violent sea.

Since Nimo said so, Adu, who was indeed lacking in combat power, did not insist any longer.

The situation could deteriorate at any time and they don't have much time left.

After making the division of labor, Adu led Xiaogang and the other two towards the direction of the Magma Team's submarine. The other side was now busy chasing the escaped Groudon, so now was the best time to invade.

Nemo and the other two rushed to the waiting place agreed upon with the Howler Whale King. After they looked at each other just now, they all reached a consensus.

——In addition to inviting these two Hoenn champions over, they also want to call Teacher Luo Mu!
What? Do you think this will cause trouble for Luo Mu?
If there is any trouble, Luo Mu often tells them that "if you beat the younger ones, the older ones will come." If the matter is really difficult for them to solve, don't worry about other messes, just contact him as soon as possible.

Not to mention that the news they read before leaving Green Ridge City said that Luo Mu alone could restrain two legendary elves and even beat them down once.

Although I don't know which one is better, Rayquaza or the two super ancient Pokémon that Fleet Aqua and Team Magma are chasing.

But it’s always right to ask him for help!
The water sycamore and red flame pine, which chose to evacuate, also arrived at the two ends of Mengs Island at this time.

On the side of Shui Wutong, thick dark clouds covered the sky, and dense raindrops fell from the sky, forming almost an omnipresent dark curtain.

In the ocean, a submarine painted like a water fleet was shaking helplessly in the wind and rain, and every rising wave seemed to be able to smash it to pieces at any time.

It is clearly the crystallization of human wisdom, but in the face of the roar of nature, it is as helpless as a child.

Shui Wutong, who was standing on a flying vehicle and holding a scarlet gem, had veins bulging on his forehead. He was clearly screaming at the top of his lungs, but the noise created by the rain and the strong wind was enough to completely block out his voice.

In the sea, a giant fish like in mythology leaped back and forth in the water and the air. Its broad fins stirred the sea, creating wave after wave, almost swallowing up the entire Mengs Island.

Shui Wutong tried to project his will onto Kyogre through the scarlet orb, but the other party was too lazy to even glance at him, let alone being controlled.

——Kyogre seemed to be accumulating strength, waiting to meet his nemesis.

On the other side, the red flame pine encountered the same situation.

After the clear sunshine was covered by heavy rain, a beam of dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, instantly dispelling most of the dark clouds covering Mengs Island, and the scorching sun then cast its scorching light.

Compared to the rough sea on the other side, the situation here is much calmer.

——But the premise is to ignore the giant beast covered with red plate armor that created a walkable road with lava on the sea.

That is a super ancient Pokémon called Groudon.

It didn't seem to like flying or jumping. It didn't until the road leading to the island was built that it slowly raised its feet and moved towards the island with firm steps.

According to Huoyan and Huocun's speculation, the other party's destination seemed to be the volcano on the island that could erupt at any time.

Crimson Flame tried to project his will onto Groudon with the indigo orb, but he encountered the same problem as Water Indus. No matter how they shouted, the two super ancient Pokémon did not even look up at them holding the orb.

"It's impossible that the ancient humans have already verified that different colored orbs can control ancient Pokémon of the corresponding colors."

Chi Yansong didn't understand where the problem lay.

Their psychic powers couldn't even make the orb glow a bit.

Is it because their will to pursue their ideals and aspirations is not strong enough?
Chi Yansong was unwilling to accept this ridiculous fact. He also stood on the flying vehicle developed by the Lava Team, following Groudon's moving figure, holding the orb and constantly shouting to it.

Before anyone knew it, Groudon had reached the crater of the volcano.

Perhaps it had arrived at its destination and started to pay attention to its surroundings, or perhaps it was getting a little impatient from the chirping of the red flame pine along the way.

Groudon, who had never even looked at Red Flame Pine, was finally willing to look at him straight in the eye.

Originally, Groudon was too lazy to pay attention to the little creature that would make noise next to it every time it woke up.

After all, if you have that much free time, you might as well prepare to fight that bighead carp first.

But when Groudon looked at the red flame pine, or more precisely, at the indigo gem in his hand, his eyes, which originally contained no emotion but only revealed the coldness of the will of nature, suddenly lit up.

——The next second, Chi Yansong was surprised to find that the indigo orb in his hand suddenly lit up with light, and he also sensed a certain huge will.

"Ohhhh, Groudon, obey my will!"

Chi Yansong's face lit up with joy, and he immediately raised the indigo gem in his hand high up.

Huoyan, Huocun and others who followed him to climb the volcano also clearly saw the complete process of the glowing gem merging into the body of the Red Flame Pine.

They and many members of the Lava Team were also excited.

Great! As long as Groudon accepts the control of their lava team, expanding the land to the end of the world, it will no longer be a dream for humans to spread all over the world!
When the gem was completely integrated into the body, the red flame pine's body began to light up with the same ancient red pattern as Groudon's body.

That was a sign that his will was close to Groudon's.

"——Okay, Groudon, let's start expanding the land now!"

Chi Yansong shouted excitedly without noticing that he had completely lost his usual calmness.

It was not known whether it was the Red Flame Pine's order that worked, but Groudon raised its ferocious head and let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire Dreams Island.

next moment.

A violent tremor suddenly swept across the entire Mengs Island.

Along with the shaking of the earth, the volcano, which had been emitting some black smoke from time to time, erupted after a brief build-up of energy!

The magma gushed out into the sky and turned into countless falling fire rain meteors, indiscriminately attacking Mengs Island and everything in the nearby sea.

Groudon's roar echoed between heaven and earth, and the lava column from the volcano erupted straight into the sky. Red Flame Song stood on the edge of the erupting crater, red lines flowing on his skin like lava, and the heat wave lifted his red and black uniform.

At this moment, he could clearly sense Groudon's simple thoughts.

This is also Groudon's "provocation" or "invitation to fight" to Kyogre.

In the sea, Kyogre, who is accumulating strength, is naturally very familiar with this power.

Its emotionless pupils were fixed on Groudon standing on the volcano, especially on the Red Flame Pine holding the indigo orb beside Groudon.

next moment.

Shui Wutong, who was unable to attract Kyogre's attention no matter what, was surprised to find that the scarlet orb in his hand, which had no reaction at all, suddenly lit up and merged into his body.

Suddenly, Shui Wutong sensed Kyokar's powerful will and the anger mixed in that will.

——It seemed to regard the indigo orb as its own.

Although he didn't understand what was going on, Shui Wutong realized that he had established a connection with Kyogre and shouted:
"Hahahaha! Let's flood this island first, Kyogre!"

Kyogre opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and let out a whale cry that resounded through the sky. He then flapped his fins without hesitation, instantly creating a huge tsunami that could easily submerge Mons Island.

The 100-meter tsunami caused by Kyogre obscured half the sky, and the sunlight reflected a strange blue light behind the wave wall. Shui Wutong stood in the depression of Kyogre's dorsal fin, the indigo lines pulsating on his neck like blood vessels, and the salty sea breeze filled his crazy laughter.

His emotions seemed to be influenced by Kyogre.

"How can I let you succeed!" Chiyansong's expression turned cold. Groudon stomped his front paws on the crater and suddenly a spider-web-like red light pattern appeared. Magma rushed out along the path of the light pattern and built a boiling lava dam on the coastline.

It also opened its huge mouth, and without any accumulation of energy, a thick "sun beam" blasted a huge hole in the tsunami.

The moment the gap tsunami collided with the lava, the entire Mons Island shook violently. White mist rose into the sky, and the shock wave generated by the steam explosion flattened the coastal forests.

Fortunately, most members of both sides boarded the submarine, and a small number gathered behind the red flame spruce or water sycamore and were not affected by the moves.

The casualties were not that severe.

The first wave of tsunami was defeated, but Shui Wutong's expression remained unchanged, and he waved his hand again.

"Freezing beam!"

Kyogre's dorsal fin glowed blue, and the second wave of tsunami it created was hit by the beam and directly frozen into an ice wall.

The ice wall crushed the cooling lava barrier with its weight.

This fierce battle between the two sides was seen by Adu, who had already rescued Xiaozhi and was hiding in an unaffected place watching the battle.

".Is this the power of a super ancient Pokémon?"

It was clearly just a battle between two groups, but the shocking feeling of commanding the power of nature at will made Adu dumbfounded.

Now he was sure.

The legend that Mikoli told him before he infiltrated the Lava Team was probably not false at all.

It's better to say that it's already very conservative.

Looking at the two extreme weather conditions that had begun to spread and collide, A'du suddenly had a premonition.

——It is no exaggeration to say that if it is not stopped, the battle between Groudon and Kyogre will really affect the entire Hoenn region!
