Chapter 658: Scoundrel, Taste My Cliffbreaker Sword!! (10,000 words, please vote!) (Part 1)
"Roar—!!"
Groudon, seeing the tiny figure in front of him boldly declaring, "No entry allowed", chose to completely ignore it.
What nonsense?
Talking to me?
I need to deal with that fat fish!
So, not only did Groudon not stop, the temperature around him continued to rise, the blazing sun casting multiple shadows, scorching the land and the sea.
"Of course."
Jinghe licked his dry lips, unsurprised by Groudon's reaction.
If Groudon stopped just because someone told him to, he wouldn't be the fearsome creature he is.
"Where's Genji?"
Jinghe looked around but saw no sign of Genji's ship.
Indeed, according to the original plan, this wasn't the place to intercept and stop Groudon. Due to time constraints and other factors, Groudon could still advance a bit further.
But—
If Groudon continued, the flowers and plants in his garden would truly wither, and what would he do about the loss?
Moreover, in the plan, allowing Groudon to advance was a last resort.
The closer Groudon got to Hoenn and Canalave City, the greater the danger to both places would be.
If they could stop him here, it would be best.
Looking at the massive, thirty-meter-tall creature, radiating intense red light, with lava flowing behind it, eroding the sea, Jinghe thought, "Truly worthy of being an ancient mythical beast, the Earth Deity, Groudon!"
But!
Jinghe licked his lips again. "This time, I want to see if I can stop him."
Otherwise, after living in the Pokémon world for so long, spending so much money, raising so many Pokémon, and maintaining so many relationships, wouldn't it be a waste?
Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—
The seawater beneath Groudon's feet instantly evaporated, rising in scorching white steam, making the harsh sun seem slightly hazy.
"We need to cool him down."
Jinghe looked at Nine-Tails, who returned a pure gaze.
"Let's start by saying hello, Nine-Tails!"
"Growl!"
Nine-Tails took a light step, touching the sea surface, and frost instantly appeared. Her snow-white, crystal-clear fur danced gracefully, filled with a lively and elegant beauty.
Her nine fluffy tails slowly unfurled, spreading a chill.
"Teacher Jinghe is about to make his move!"
"What is he planning to do?"
"Breaking news! Jinghe is going to challenge Groudon alone!"
"Is he going to bring snow? Compete for the weather with Groudon?"
Rumble—rumble—rumble—
The ground continued to shake, and the heat rose wildly. But amidst the intense heat, the news reporters and trainers on the surrounding aircraft felt a mysterious coolness.
"Growl—!!"
Nine-Tails let out a long howl, her eyes fixed on Groudon with determination and solemnity.
When she was weak, she once tried to compete for the weather with the Legendary Pokémon, Zapdos.
Now, with her strength vastly improved, why couldn't she try to compete with Groudon?
Ding—ding—ding—
Snowflakes!
Ice crystals!
Transparent, hexagonal snowflakes appeared in the scorching sunlight, colliding and rubbing against each other, forming a snowy mist.
The cloudless sky slowly began to fill with dark, velvety clouds.
A trainer standing at the door of a helicopter subconsciously reached out and caught a snowflake falling from the sky, watching it quickly melt and feeling the cold in his palm.
"Snow..."
"It's snowing..."
The sun was still high in the sky, but snowflakes were falling?
Snow in the clear, sunny sky?
A coexistence of a sunny day and a snowy day?
"Roar—"
For the first time, Groudon stopped his heavy steps, bending down to look at the two "little ones" not far away on the sea.
He could sense that the seemingly small figure was releasing a powerful force, countering the weather he controlled.
Groudon couldn't help but laugh.
Now, any scoundrel dares to challenge him?
He looked up at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky.
This is his territory!
"Roar—!!"
Groudon roared for the first time, the intense sound waves creating waves in the sea, and the temperature, already scorching, began to rise even more, making the skin unbearable under the sun's heat.
Seeing Groudon's reaction, Jinghe couldn't help but smile.
"It seems our greeting worked well. He's reacting strongly, Nine-Tails."
"Growl."
Nine-Tails nodded.
But Jinghe's expression quickly turned serious, his voice becoming even more stern. "Since that's the case, we can't hold back! Nine-Tails, let's see just how strong Groudon's weather is!"
"Growl!!"
Nine-Tails spread her limbs, firmly gripping the ice.
The temperature around them continued to rise, and the seawater's temperature also increased rapidly. The ice island she had formed began to melt visibly.
But as Nine-Tails released her full Ice-type energy, the melting of the ice island stopped and even began to expand, encroaching on the sea.
At the same time, the intense cold caused the waves around them to freeze, forming a circle centered on Groudon, Nine-Tails, and Jinghe, a direct confrontation between ice and lava!
"So cold, so cold!"
"So hot, so hot!"
In the helicopter above, the trainers and journalists also experienced the contrasting sensations of ice and fire.
The chill on one side made them shiver, while the intense heat on the other side made them break out in sweat instantly.
This mix of cold and heat was truly exhilarating, but it also made them realize:
"The battle for the weather has truly begun!"
"No, part of the weather control has already been seized!"
"Unbelievable, such intense cold!"
Was Nine-Tails really trying to compete with Groudon in controlling the weather?
More importantly, it seemed to be having some success!
Groudon's scorching sun was still strong and held the dominant advantage, but it couldn't suppress Nine-Tails' snowy weather, which was quite remarkable.
A Mythical Pokémon unable to completely dominate another Pokémon?
Groudon, more than any observer, could sense the presence of another ice-type Mythical Pokémon from Nine-Tails.
Ice, seal the world!
"Roar!!"
Groudon felt threatened and provoked. This was the first time it had felt such a threat from a Pokémon other than another Groudon or Rayquaza.
Even though it still held the dominant control over the weather, the dignity of an ancient Mythical Pokémon could not be challenged!
If so, then it would show the others, apart from Groudon and Rayquaza, what it meant to be the "God of the Earth"!
Rumble—!!
The ground beneath the sea trembled violently, causing the entire ocean to surge. The scorching, golden-red lava erupted as if it were free.
The sun intensified!
However, Jinghe and Nine-Tails clearly did not want to end this weather battle so hastily.
If they were going to block and delay its progress through weather control, why shouldn't that count as a hindrance?
"Roar!"
Nine-Tails' limbs were bent under the intense pressure from Groudon, causing the icy weather it had created to compress and retreat.
The frozen sea began to rapidly melt again.
"Nine-Tails!" Jinghe called out in a deep voice.
Hum—
A faint pink mist enveloped Nine-Tails, and a powerful Life Force emerged from the sea and the ocean floor, responding to Nine-Tails' "call."
Nine-Tails' aura began to rise, and the cold did not diminish under the pressure of Groudon's enhanced power. Instead, it continued to counter and even showed signs of a counter-attack.
This left the trainers speechless.
Wasn't Groudon already furious, and yet it still held its ground?
What was that pink mist?
Fairy-type?
Earth Control!
After Kyurem, Groudon sensed the aura of the Life Force from Nine-Tails.
More importantly,
Nine-Tails was drawing power from the earth!
The earth!
Just as it was trying to assert its authority as the "God of the Earth", a "mere" Pokémon was drawing power from the earth to challenge it?
And
How could a regular Pokémon have the blessings of two Mythical Pokémon that were on par with it?
How long did I sleep?
Just one nap, and the world has changed so much?
After the confusion came boundless anger.
The God of the Earth was having its power drawn from the earth!
This was a provocation far worse than any challenge!
Groudon was enraged.
"Roar!!!"
Boom!!
A surge of crimson lava erupted from the sea, quickly forming a small mountain. Then, like a volcanic eruption, the terrifying lava and hot steam spewed out.
The crimson lava flowed into patterns, converging at Groudon's feet.
At the same time, the golden patterns on Groudon's body, which were not very noticeable before, began to glow, spreading from the earth up to its legs and covering its entire body, even turning its eyes completely golden.
"Roar!!"
The already terrifying aura intensified, and the savage presence caused a strong wind to rage, the scalding sea to surge, and the heat waves to force the helicopters to retreat.
"That, that's..."
"Groudon's form."
Jinghe squinted his eyes, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Primal Reversion!!
The previous Groudon was just showing signs of Primal Reversion, but being provoked by him and Nine-Tails, it had fully Primal Reverted without hesitation?
Wasn't it supposed to conserve its strength to beat Blastoise?
How are you supposed to fight now?
"Roar!"
Nine-Tails let out a low whimper.
The pressure from Groudon's Primal Reversion increased exponentially, as the true form of the "God of the Earth" began to reveal itself. The authority of the "God of the Earth" reached its pinnacle at this moment.
It was lava, it was earth, it was a volcanic eruption!
The power of nature was both magnificent and terrifying.
And now, this power was the manifestation of Groudon's, no, Primal Reverted Groudon's, true strength!
The ice melted rapidly, the sea began to boil, and parts of the reef were instantly evaporated, exposing dry, cracked land, as if creating a land of the end!
Sizzle—
A trainer who had stuck his head out of the helicopter's door quickly pulled it back, but his hand was still red and swollen, the pain making him cry out.
The temperature had already exceeded a hundred degrees!
The Land of the End!
Apart from the "Primal Sea" and the Delta Stream, the "Land of the End" could eradicate all weather!
Primal Reversion is Groudon's characteristic, which has reverted from the original "Solar Power" to "Terrene Power"!
This is the power that can incinerate the ocean with just solar energy alone!
The Primal Groudon is about to reveal its true, terrifying form!
"Alert! Alert! The energy levels of Groudon in the Kanazumi outer sea are soaring, surpassing the absolutely dangerous threshold! The temperature and pressure have even exceeded 100 degrees!"
In the emergency operations room of the Hoenn League, Bony, the overall commander of this operation, received this news. Her expression darkened immediately, and she stood up to ask:
"Where are Genji and Jinghe?"
"According to the footage from the scene, Jinghe is taking on Groudon alone, no, Primal Groudon!"
Bony was taken aback.
Taking on Primal Groudon alone?
Her brow furrowed.
This was still some distance from the planned interception area, and Genji hadn't even arrived yet.
However, Bony didn't criticize Jinghe. After all, if he could intercept Groudon further out at sea, it would be a significant advantage for both Hoenn and Canalave City.
Canalave City is Jinghe's hometown; he wouldn't want to see it destroyed.
Moreover, based on Bony's understanding of Jinghe, he never does anything without a purpose or without being confident in his abilities.
He must have a plan.
"Quickly relay this message to Genji and tell him to hurry and support Jinghe!"
"Yes!"
Bony then turned to look at the other side and asked in a serious tone:
"What's the situation in the outer sea of Violet City?"
"Report to Gym Leader Bony, it's not looking good!"
On the screen, Da Wu was supporting Wally. They had managed to somewhat obstruct Groudon's advance, but Groudon showed no signs of changing direction.
Bony gently pulled on her white silk gloves.
She understood the difficulty of this mission. The hardest part of the plan was to stop Groudon and change its direction.
It seemed she would have to go and help, leaving the command to Professor Elm.
"There's something, Gym Leader Bony!"
Hmm?
Bony immediately looked at the screen.
She saw a massive golden giant, crackling with terrifying lightning, slowly descending from the sky and nodding slightly to Da Wu.
Regieleki!
Then, three slightly smaller ice, steel, and rock giants also landed.
"Regice! Registeel and Regirock! And... Regieleki! This is..."
The God Pillars!
Bony quickly realized.
Jinghe seemed to have "captured" a Regieleki in the Castelia region, and the Regice was the one he had suppressed on an island in the Hoenn seas not long ago!
So, these are the trump cards Jinghe gave to his student Da Wu?
The remaining Registeel and Regirock are...
"Regi!!"
The four ancient giants, like a wall, stood before Da Wu and Wally. Although their height of about ten meters was still much smaller than Groudon's, they were clearly much larger than Mega Golem and Mega Swampert.
Seeing the God Pillars appear, Da Wu, who was supporting Wally, smiled.
"You made it."
"They are..." Wally looked at the towering figures, his face full of surprise.
"Regieleki and Regice, they were called by my teacher."
Da Wu explained briefly.
"As for Regirock and Registeel, they were discovered through the 'Announcement Stone' I found. With the help of my teacher and Hiruna, we decoded the stone and opened the Sealing."
Once Wally was able to stand steadily, Da Wu let go of him and took a few steps forward.
"I have already secured their assistance!"
His cloak fluttered, and Wally stared at the back of the figure in front of him, dazed.
For a moment, he felt this back overlapped with Jinghe's.
Has Da Wu already been imprinted with Jinghe's influence?
No wonder Da Wu had only commanded Mega Golem in battle and hadn't sent out any other Pokémon. He had thought it was because the sea battle made it difficult for Da Wu's Pokémon to perform, but now it seemed...
He was preparing to command these God Pillars!
However...
Wally's face showed concern.
"Da Wu, can your body handle it?"
Commanding such powerful Pokémon in a high-intensity, high-attention battle is an enormous strain on a Trainer. This is why many Trainers, even if they have captured six Pokémon, cannot handle a full team battle.
Six is the theoretical limit for a Trainer to command Pokémon effectively.
Moreover, the God Pillars are not Da Wu's Pokémon, so he would need to expend even more energy in terms of coordination and response.
Da Wu turned his head slightly, a confident smile on his lips and determination in his eyes.
"I should be fine for twenty days."
T-Twenty days?!
Not twenty hours?
Wally thought Da Wu had gone mad.
But he saw resolve and determination in Da Wu's eyes.
"Wally."
He turned and walked toward Mega Golem and the four God Pillars, his voice carrying over.
"Behind us is the entire Hoenn!"
"Yuki!"
Seemingly sensing the intense changes on the ground, Yuki came out of the Poké Ball on his own.
When it saw the colossal behemoth towering thirty meters high, engulfing the ocean with lava, wantonly releasing its violent emotions, and scorching the earth with the blazing sun, the little one’s mouth dropped open.
Wow.
It had to tilt its head back, from looking down to looking up, to take in the immense Primal Groudon.
This appearance, this form, this aura—wasn’t this exactly what it should look like in its dreams?
But the little one quickly snapped back to reality.
It understood.
The behemoth in front of it was an opponent, an enemy!
The powerful existence that made Nine-Tails’ snowstorm almost impossible to use, almost to the point of disappearing.
Thump-thump—thump-thump—
For some reason,
Yuki felt its heart, the sound of its beating, as if it were right in its ear, continuously pounding against its eardrums.
The constant surging of the earth’s veins, the energy of the ground, all seemed to be in sync with its heartbeat, with its blood.
This was—
An opponent!
