Chapter 475: Groudon Joins the Chat Group!
Chapter 475: Groudon Joins the Chat Group!
The incident with Groudon continued to escalate, drawing more and more attention.
People flocked to the scene, riding on their Pokemon or private planes, hovering in the air and observing the legendary Groudon from a distance with binoculars.
Among them were bold trainers who dared to fly closer, intending to challenge and capture the mighty creature. However, their attempts only enraged Groudon, resulting in them being swiftly defeated and sent tumbling back.
"Spectacular!" exclaimed Professor Oak from the Kanto region as he watched through his binoculars from a helicopter. "What could have compelled Groudon to travel all the way from the Hoenn region to the Pardia region?"
The question lingered in Professor Oak's mind. Was it migrating, or was there something in the Pardia region that attracted it? No one had the answer.
The standoff continued.
On the other side of the ocean, Ye Ci and the Pardia Champion Team gazed helplessly at the Earth God, Groudon, which was now just a few kilometers away from the Pardia region.
Ye Ci's mind flashed back to the intense battle between Groudon and Kyogre a few days ago, and worry crept into her eyes. She dared not imagine the impact this powerful Pokemon could have on the once peaceful Pardia region if it were to set foot there.
Capturing it was out of the question. All she hoped for was that Groudon would leave soon and return to where it belonged.
Back at the ranch, Naoki looked on with mixed emotions as he witnessed the viral sensation surrounding Groudon.
For some reason, seeing Groudon standing alone in the ocean, gazing up at the sky, he felt a sense of pathos emanating from the legendary Pokemon.
The situation was also a hot topic among the legendary Pokemon in the chat group.
[Giratina: I wonder if this guy is also trying to reach the World Tree.]
[Mewtwo: There's a 90% possibility.]
[Giratina: Then why is it just standing there and not coming up?]
[Rayquaza: Maybe because it can't fly?]
Naoki: "..."
Unable to bear the bullying any longer, Naoki decided to take action. He passed through Giratina's Reverse World and arrived directly at the Explorer's Guild area from the ranch.
This shortcut had been created by Giratina a few days ago to facilitate Naoki's travel between the World Tree and the ranch, eliminating the need to rely on flying Pokemon for transportation.
Naoki sought out Mewtwo and asked it to use its Teleport ability to bring Groudon to the World Tree.
Mewtwo, having read about Groudon's situation in the chat group, paused for a moment after hearing Naoki's request, then nodded in agreement.
A powerful display of psychic energy surged from Mewtwo, and in the next second, Groudon vanished from the ocean and reappeared at the World Tree.
At that moment, the onlookers in the air above the ocean cried out in surprise.
"It disappeared?!"
"Where did Groudon go?"
Dazed and confused, the people circled the ocean and even dove underwater in search of Groudon, but to no avail. In the end, they were left with no answers.
The spectators had no choice but to disperse, and the incident became known as one of the world's greatest mysteries, dubbed the "Mystery of Groudon's Disappearance" by Pokemon scholars.
In the Hoenn region's Weather Institute, researchers were baffled as they watched the red dot representing Groudon vanish from their screens.
"It... disappeared?"
"Kyogre disappeared in the same spot!"
Stranger still, they were no longer able to track the locations of the two ancient Pokemon!
"What's going on?"
"Did they travel through time and space?"
As the initial shock wore off, a look of relief spread across one researcher's face.
"Does this mean those two Pokemon won't be fighting each other anymore?"
"We in the Hoenn region won't have to worry about the problems we faced before!"
"Wonderful!"
At the World Tree, Groudon was startled by the sudden turn of events. Its body tensed, and the earth energy within it surged, ready to unleash its signature move, Precipice Blades.
However, as Groudon sensed the rich natural aura surrounding it, its expression softened into one of disbelief.
This was... the Tree! It had finally made it!
But how?
Groudon turned its attention to the human and the Pokemon standing before it.
Not far away, some ordinary Pokemon peeked curiously in their direction.
Groudon: "..." It dared not make a move.
"Hello, Groudon," Naoki said with a smile. "This isn't our first meeting, is it? I'm Naoki. Welcome to the World Tree."
Groudon opened its mouth, staring at the human in disbelief.
Its instincts told it that this human before it was very likely the master of this place! And from the looks of the surrounding Pokemon, they clearly regarded him as their center!
Seeing Groudon, the big oaf, standing there dumbfounded, Naoki shook his head helplessly and continued, "In that case, I'll get straight to the point. I know why you're here—drawn by the natural energy of this tree. I can allow you to stay here, but you must agree to a few conditions."
"What conditions?" Groudon's deep, rugged voice finally sounded in Naoki's mind.
Naoki: "First, you must not harm the other Pokemon on the World Tree. Second, you must not fight with Kyogre here. Kyogre has already agreed to this; as long as you don't provoke it, it won't provoke you."
"If you break either of these conditions, then Rayquaza and Mewtwo will expel you from the World Tree."
Compared to Kyogre, expelling Groudon would be much simpler.
All Mewtwo had to do was use Teleport to throw it off, and with its own power, Groudon wouldn't be able to climb back up.
Indeed, there were advantages to not being able to fly...
Hearing these words, Groudon fell silent.
Compared to territory, strength was more important. As long as it worked hard to absorb natural energy and became stronger, Kyogre wouldn't dare compete with it for territory anymore.
With this in mind, Groudon readily agreed.
"Alright!"
Naoki nodded. "Then we have no problems."
This time, he personally led Groudon to the third layer, just below the sea domain where Kyogre resided.
This was an unused space where no Pokemon had yet made their home.
That was why Naoki intended to let Groudon transform this area into a suitable habitat for Rock, Ground, and Fire-type Pokemon.
He shared this plan with Groudon.
Groudon had no objections. It had originally intended to create a magma pool for itself to sleep in.
Thus, Groudon simply tossed Naoki aside and began its construction work with gusto.
First, it used its earth energy to create a small volcano, then it channeled the magma from its body into the volcano.
In the blink of an eye, a magma pool was born.
After accomplishing this feat, Groudon didn't stop to rest.
It stood on the volcano, and the earth energy within its body surged wildly.
In an instant, rumbling sounds filled the space.
The ground began to tremble, and rocks started to shift.
Soon, a scorching valley emerged.
Starting from the volcano where Groudon stood, the temperature in the air gradually decreased as one moved outward, until it became normal at the outer rim.
There, Groudon created valleys, caves, and rugged rocks, an ideal environment for Pokemon like Onix and Pangoro of the Ground and Rock types.
Around the volcano, hot springs even began to bubble forth.
The scorching zone was suitable for Fire-type Pokemon like Charizard and Ninetales to inhabit.
With this, the construction of this layer was complete!
Naoki then summoned a group of Water-type Pokemon and asked them to use Rain Dance in the dry valley on the outskirts.
The pattering rain gradually converged into a meandering stream.
Next, Naoki bought some tree fruit saplings and planted several orchards along the riverbank, enlisting Reuniclus' help to hasten their growth.
In no time, the fruit trees were laden with ripe, heavy fruits, filling the air with the joy of harvest.
Of course, these fruits weren't meant for Groudon. They were for the future Pokemon who would make this place their home.
Groudon stood on the distant volcano, watching Naoki's busy figure from afar.
It was quite surprised by the human's actions.
Were those fruit trees planted to feed it? After all, aside from itself, there were no other Pokemon in this place.
However, as the Earth God, it didn't need to eat. It could survive solely by absorbing natural energy.
Just then, Groudon saw the human and the group of Water-type Pokemon turn to leave.
Groudon decided to return to its magma pool to get some well-deserved rest.
The previous battle had exhausted much of its energy, and the long journey had left it drained. It needed to hibernate for a while before it could recover.
This time, the human was holding a strange device.
"This is a Rotom Phone. Groudon, Kyogre, and the others all have one, and from now on, this one belongs to you!"
Naoki carefully explained the functions of the Rotom Phone to Groudon.
Upon hearing that Groudon and Kyogre both had one, Groudon immediately became attentive, and its competitive spirit wouldn't allow it to lag behind.
It wanted one too!
"...Alright, that's everything for now. If you have any questions, you can ask the Rotom inside the phone. But remember, do not put it into the lava," Naoki instructed.
Seeing that Groudon seemed to have accepted the existence of the Rotom Phone, Naoki took out his own phone and added Groudon to the chat group.
Now, there were six legendary Pokemon in the chat group, and with Groudon, the number had reached seven.
The next second, the upper layer's Groudon, the Rayquaza perched at the top of the tree, the Ho-Oh resting on a branch, the Giratina lurking in the shadows, the Mewtwo by the farm, and the Arceus all received a notification.
[Groudon has joined the chat group!]
Arceus, leading the friendly Pokemon, welcomed Groudon to the group.
Groudon did not respond, and Naoki guessed that it was probably asleep.
After all, the previous battle had drained a lot of its energy.
If it weren't for the World Tree, both Groudon and Kyogre might have had to sleep for thousands of years before awakening again.
Groudon was still unfamiliar with the functions of the Rotom Phone, so it didn't reply.
After explaining everything, Naoki finally turned and left the place.
And after he left, Groudon also fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.
However, this time was different from before. Sleeping in this space filled with natural energy, it wouldn't take long for it to recover.
Five minutes later, Naoki stood on the empty island, gazing up at the towering giant tree before him.
With that, the work on the World Tree was finally complete! From now on, all they needed to do was wait for the Adventurer's Guild to invite the Pokemon friends they met on their travels to join them at the World Tree.
It was quite remarkable to think about. Not long ago, Naoki was still watering the tree with his Pokemon mounts and relaxing under its shade.
Unknowingly, that little sapling had grown into this majestic tree.
Not only that, but it had also attracted so many legendary Pokemon.
With Celebi, there were now eight legendary Pokemon.
Naoki suddenly felt like the World Tree could be turned into a Legendary Pokemon Battle Tower.
The first floor for Celebi, the second for Mewtwo, the third for Giratina, the fourth for Groudon, the fifth for Kyogre, and the sixth for Arceus.
Then there was Ho-Oh and Rayquaza, perched at the very top.
With this lineup, they wouldn't even need to fear the return of Team Rainbow Rocket.
In the distance, the sun slowly sank below the horizon, leaving a golden hue in the sky as evening fell. The gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves above.
As the wind brushed past his hair, Naoki exhaled a deep breath, feeling a sense of contentment.
What a wonderful day!
Now, it was time for them to head home.
When Naoki and Celebi returned to the ranch, the sky had already darkened.
The Pokemon, who had been playing outside all day, also returned home, lazily sprawling on the carpet, waiting for Naoki to prepare their dinner.
Leaving the World Tree and bidding farewell to the group of legendary Pokemon, Naoki once again became a farmer in the countryside.
Back home, he smiled and played with the Pokemon for a while before starting to prepare their dinner.
The air was filled with a warm atmosphere, the laughter of the Pokemon, and the sound of Naoki cooking, making it just another ordinary day.
Arceus especially enjoyed this time, so whenever it was around this hour, it would leave the glass greenhouse and come to the living room, sitting on the sofa, playing with its phone, and listening to the sounds of Naoki cooking.
Noticing Arceus' sudden appearance, Naoki suddenly remembered something. As he chopped the vegetables, he asked, "By the way, Arceus, now that the World Tree has stabilized, don't you plan on living there?"
Arceus gently shook its head. "No, compared to there, I'd rather stay here and live with all of you."
Naoki understood. Arceus found the ranch more lively!
He smiled and nodded. "Alright, then please continue to take care of us from now on as well!"
Night fell, and the moonlight bathed the ranch in a soft glow.
Finally, the core of the Gigalith arrived at its destination.
It stood on an inconspicuous stone, observing this unfamiliar area and the house nestled in the night.
