Chapter 467: The Hoenn Incident Erupts, Groudon and Kyogre Awaken!
Chapter 467: The Hoenn Incident Erupts, Groudon and Kyogre Awaken!
"Boom!"
The mighty arms of the Regirock delivered a powerful blow to Camerupt.
With a pained roar, Camerupt fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Daigo frowned, his gaze shifting to the defeated Flannery as he called out, "That's enough!"
Flannery's face was filled with unwillingness and anger as she exclaimed, "How can this be?! I've come all this way, I can't give up now!"
"No, even though I didn't get the jewel, with this meteorite, I can definitely awaken Groudon!"
With that, Flannery looked down at the meteorite in her arms.
This was what her team, Team Magma, had dug up at Meteor Falls after their plan to steal the jewel had failed.
These meteorites, fallen from space, possessed immense energy. She believed that by tossing it into the lava, she would surely be able to awaken Groudon.
As this thought crossed her mind, Flannery wasted no time in throwing the meteorite into the lava where Groudon lay.
Daigo, realizing her intention, tried to stop her, but it was too late.
As the meteorite fell into the lava, the energy within it reacted with the molten rock, causing a massive explosion. The volcano began to rumble, and the lava within started to bubble and churn, like a boiling cauldron, splashing in all directions.
Daigo's expression turned grim as he suddenly noticed the ancient Pokemon that had been slumbering in the lava. Its eyes, golden and filled with an ancient aura, were now open, looking down at Flannery with an imposing gaze.
Red-hot lava flowed slowly around Groudon's body, and a deep, menacing roar escaped its mouth, carrying with it a sense of immense power that swept through the area.
Daigo's face grew more solemn than ever, "Regirock, get ready!"
Regirock, standing by its side, swung its arms, ready to face the massive red Pokemon.
Not far away, Flannery was thrilled to see Groudon awaken. "Groudon, you've finally awakened. It was I who roused you from your slumber..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, Groudon let out an even more terrifying roar.
The ground began to shake, and boulders tumbled down from the top of the volcano.
With a thunderous roar, a massive boulder fell beside Daigo, missing him by mere centimeters.
Flannery was knocked to the ground by the force of the shockwave, while Daigo and Regirock scrambled to find cover.
By the time they found a safe spot, they were astonished to see that Groudon had disappeared from the lava.
A sense of foreboding filled Daigo's heart.
Recalling the ancient legend of the Hoenn region, he momentarily forgot about Team Magma and Flannery and, mounting his Armaldo, flew out of the volcano.
He pulled out his Rotom Phone and quickly contacted the Hoenn League.
At that very moment, in the depths of the ocean, within the Sea Cavern...
The once calm waters began to churn violently.
As Groudon awakened, so too did Kyogre, its counterpart, stir within the Sea Cavern. Its eyes snapped open, sensing the disturbance caused by Groudon's awakening.
A terrifying aura surged from Kyogre, causing the members of Team Aqua present to cry out in surprise.
"B-Boss! Kyogre's awake!"
Wallace, who was battling Mikuri, was equally shocked, "What's going on?! I thought it was supposed to be sleeping?!"
Mikuri smirked, "It was just sleeping, not dead." He signaled to his Manaphy, who unleashed a Waterfall attack on Wallace's Sharpedo.
A massive wave crashed into Sharpedo, sending it tumbling.
Kyogre, now aware of the tiny humans who had intruded upon its lair, chose to ignore them. It turned and swiftly left the Sea Cavern, swimming with incredible speed toward the ocean's surface.
Kyogre sensed Groudon's approach and believed it was attempting to expand its territory!
Hoenn Region, Fortree City.
The rain had started to fall.
Soft raindrops pattered onto the streets, catching travelers off guard.
Trainers traveling along the road, a little girl out to buy ice cream, and office workers carrying briefcases hurriedly sought shelter under the awnings of nearby shops.
An office worker shook the rainwater off his briefcase, muttering, "Great, and the weather forecast said it was supposed to be clear today."
The rain showed no signs of letting up, ruining his plans to meet with clients.
He anxiously glanced at his wristwatch, hoping for the rain to stop soon.
Just then, a shout rang out nearby.
"Look!"
The office worker looked up, following the young trainer's pointing finger. What he saw next left him stunned.
Dark, heavy clouds had rolled in, covering what had been a clear sky. Within those clouds, a terrible storm was brewing, as if something ominous was about to be born.
The rain intensified, quickly engulfing Fortree City and the surrounding towns.
The intense heat baked the earth, causing some Trainers traveling outdoors to exhibit signs of heatstroke.
Such incidents were occurring all over the Hoenn region.
The two extreme weather conditions continued to intertwine in the Hoenn region, and this anomaly immediately caused panic among the people.
At that moment, the Gym Leaders of various cities sprang into action, beginning to organize the evacuation of people and Pokemon to safer locations.
In the Weather Institute...
Over twenty researchers were sitting in front of their computers, monitoring the unusual weather patterns in the Hoenn region through satellites and radar.
The air was heavy with tension, and no one spoke a word. The rapid tapping of keyboards stood out starkly in the silent room.
Several high-ranking members stood at the back, their expressions grave as they observed the constantly updating screens.
Suddenly, one of the researchers exclaimed:
"Report! We've detected the presence of the ancient Pokemon, Groudon!"
The satellite image quickly zoomed in, and on the screen, the researchers beheld a massive Pokemon with a red, carapace-like body.
It had left the land and ventured into the sea.
What shocked the researchers even more was that with every step the Pokemon took, a patch of "land" seemed to solidify beneath its feet.
It appeared to be a result of a reaction between the lava within its body and the seawater.
Before they could process this information, a second alarm sounded.
"Report! Kyogre has also appeared within our monitoring range!"
"According to the radar, these two ancient Pokemon are moving towards each other!"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately recalled the legend of the Hoenn region.
In the legend, when the Land Spirit, Groudon, and the Ocean Spirit, Kyogre, awaken, they will engage in an endless battle.
A high-ranking member furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice, "How long until they meet?"
"Based on their current speeds, we estimate they will encounter each other in five hours and thirty-two minutes! The location of their encounter..."
As the researcher spoke, the computers in the institute also predicted the future trajectories of the two Pokemon based on their speeds.
On the screens, a red and a blue dot moved across the map and soon came to a stop above a certain area of the sea.
"...will be fifty kilometers west of Fallarbor Town!"
In the Patia region, at Naoki's ranch.
After lunch, Naoki leisurely tended to the flowers in the garden using his Psyduck Squirt Bottle.
Several Eevee frolicked around him, chasing each other and playfully nipping at his feet.
In the fragrant flower fields, a Combee and a Vespiquen slowly made their way through the blooms, diligently collecting nectar.
As the water from the Psyduck Squirt Bottle sprayed out, a beautiful rainbow formed in the air.
The nearby Eevee noticed the rainbow and curiously gathered around, trying to touch it with their paws.
Just then, one of the playful Eevee paused, tilting its head as if it felt a drop of water on its nose.
"Ee-veee?!"
The Eevee looked up, and to its surprise, it saw a dark cloud drifting above what had been a clear sky just moments ago.
A light drizzle began to fall, enveloping the entire ranch.
Naoki paused in his gardening, a slight frown creasing his brow as he looked up at the unexpected rain.
"Huh? I thought the weather forecast didn't mention any rain today," he mused.
With the rain, the ranch's soil would turn muddy.
In such conditions, the Pokemon would get dirty if they continued playing outside.
Naoki quickly herded the group of Pokemon back inside before the rain intensified.
The Eevee peered out the window, their eyes fixed on the ranch now covered in a gentle shower.
"Ee-veee..."
"If you guys feel bored, you can go play with Grovyle and the others on the World Tree," Naoki suggested. "It's not raining there, and the ground is dry."
"Ve!"
The Eevee's eyes lit up at the idea. With a decision made, they scampered off toward the World Tree.
Not long after, Naoki received a text message from Mewtwo.
The message informed him that there would be a Pokemon tea party on the World Tree that evening, and the Eevee had decided to join and would be staying there for the night.
Naoki: "...”
Kids these days, they really do their own thing.
He reluctantly replied with an "okay," acknowledging their plans.
With the Eevee gone, the ranch fell quiet once more.
Bored, Naoki started surfing the web, but soon enough, his attention was captured by several trending topics on social media.
[ExtremeWeatherinHoenn]
[VolcanicEruptioninHoenn]
[HoennRegionRavagedbyStormsandTsunamis]
[MysteriousGiganticPokemonSpottedatSea]
And more...
Could this sudden rain in the Patia region also be influenced by those two Pokemon?
Naoki quickly clicked on these trending topics to find out more.
The posts mentioned that the Hoenn region was experiencing extreme weather, with some cities being engulfed by scorching heat and intense sunlight, while others were battered by relentless torrential rain.
Coastal cities like Mauville City and Battle Town even faced tsunamis.
This terrifying disaster in the Hoenn region quickly grabbed worldwide attention.
People from other regions were inquiring about the situation, and residents of Hoenn were uploading photos and videos to share the latest developments.
One photo showed a sky shrouded in dark clouds, with the photographer standing on a sea island, capturing the sight of towering waves approaching from the distant ocean—a scene reminiscent of an impending apocalypse.
Another photo displayed a clear blue sky, but the sun was unbearably intense. The uploader had even recorded a video to showcase the sun's unusual intensity, showing how their arm had quickly developed sunburn after being exposed to the sun for just a short while.
The Hoenn League didn't try to hide the truth from the public. Through their official account, they directly addressed the people of Hoenn:
"The legendary catastrophe foretold has reappeared in the Hoenn region. The Land Spirit, Groudon, and the Ocean Spirit, Kyogre, have awakened, and their influence is causing a disaster across the region.
Please remain calm, cooperate with the Gym Leaders and Miss Jasmine, and evacuate to safer locations. We are doing our best to stop this catastrophe!"
"So, it really is Groudon and Kyogre that have awakened..." Naoki murmured to himself.
He wondered how Daigo was doing.
Naoki continued scrolling through the posts, and soon he came across some fearless individuals.
Instead of evacuating, these Trainers were riding their Pokemon, chasing after the massive Pokemon that was moving across the ocean.
They were even live-streaming their pursuit of the legendary Groudon on Piachu TV, giving viewers a glimpse of the Land Spirit up close.
In the background of their streams, several helicopters could be seen, most of them bearing the emblem of the Hoenn League, but Naoki noticed one helicopter with a television station logo.
The adventurous outdoor broadcaster exclaimed, "Oh, there are helicopters from the Hoenn League, and even a reporter from Violet TV!"
"But, speaking of which, is this Pokemon really the legendary Groudon? Its size is truly astonishing!"
The broadcaster was about to say more when a Hoenn League staff member riding a Ninjask flew over and urged him to leave:
"This place is dangerous. Please evacuate to a nearby city immediately!"
The intrepid broadcaster was about to refuse when Groudon below suddenly became distracted by the helicopters hovering above.
Its mouth opened wide, and the earth energy within its body surged wildly, channeling into the ground beneath the ocean. In the next moment, enormous "Swords of Earth" erupted from the sea, aiming at the helicopters.
That was... Groudon's signature move, Precipice Blades! Naoki instantly recognized it.
One of the helicopters couldn't dodge in time and was struck, plummeting into the ocean.
Fortunately, the pilot was ejected at the last moment, avoiding a tragic end.
After witnessing this scene, the Hoenn League staff member frowned deeply and ordered:
"All personnel, maintain your distance from Groudon! Do not approach it recklessly!"
The helicopters immediately halted their approach and kept their distance.
Groudon, having expressed its displeasure, resumed its forward march.
The broadcaster seemed shaken by the near miss with the Precipice Blades and promptly ended the live stream to evacuate.
Hoenn Region, fifty kilometers off the coast of Fortree City, out at sea.
Daigo had arrived early, riding in a helicopter.
The sky was overcast, and the sea winds howled relentlessly.
Daigo's brow furrowed, his silver hair whipping in the wind, his handsome face etched with gravity.
Suddenly, a startled cry came through his headphones.
"Groudon and Kyogre have arrived!"
Daigo's head snapped up.
Below, in the depths of the sea, a massive shadow had appeared, and Groudon now stood upon the ocean's surface in the distance.
The next second, the colossal figure of Kyogre burst out of the water, floating on the surface as it glared at Groudon across the waves.
Groudon paused, its massive claws tightening as it looked down at Kyogre on the ocean's surface.
The rain poured down, masking the sound of the helicopter's engine.
Daigo gripped the Poke Balls in his hand. At this moment, the fate of the entire Hoenn region rested on his shoulders.
With the three parties gathered, a climactic battle was about to unfold!
