Ash, with his invincible physical body, wants to become a Pokémon Master...

However, after completing their mission, they all ran away in a panic, and Higana's helicopter was already waiting for them on Ganga Island.

With so many subordinates gone all at once, Shui Wutong's head instantly swelled twice as big.

However, what gave him an even bigger headache was Groudon walking on the sea surface outside the submarine.

Every step the red monster takes on the sea surface awakens a dormant volcano on the seabed.

The gushing lava formed the ground on which Groudon walked, and with its red eyes, no one dared to stop it.

Archie's red orb can only control Kyogre; he is completely powerless against the awakened Groudon.

However, good news from Izumi finally arrived at that moment, and the red pearl in Mizuki's hand suddenly began to sparkle.

Both leaders quickly regained their composure and, almost simultaneously, gave orders to personally lead their troops to search for the location of their own divine beast.

Now they all know that the situation on the other side is absolutely the same as theirs.

Kyogre wreaked havoc on the seas, and Team Magma was powerless to stop him.

The current situation is like a race between the Red Flame Pine and the Water Phoenix.

Whoever finds the divine beast they can control and defeats the opponent first with the treasure orb will be the winner.

Chapter 489 Groudon vs. Kyogre

At this moment, thunder roared across the sea, dark clouds gathered, and torrential rain poured down. The sea surface was also thrown into chaos by Kyogre's out-of-control power.

The Lava Team's submarine platform was quickly opened, and Crimson Pine led the organization's elites to take off in helicopters, while the other members evacuated in inflatable rafts.

With her long legs, Izumi nimbly evaded all enemy sight, jumped onto the top of the submarine, and leaped towards the sea.

After falling into the water, she glanced back one last time at her subordinates who had escaped among the Lava Team members, then hung up the communication request from Team Marine headquarters and decisively dived into the deep sea and disappeared.

The ocean currents are now completely disrupted by the appearance of Georka, so anyone who dares to dive into the deep sea now is practically committing suicide.

However, Izumi was not afraid at all. Wearing a diving bodysuit, she swam gracefully in the sea like a blue mermaid.

Soon, guided by a special current, it swam into a sturdy embrace.

"Successfully caught! Well done, Little Black! Your control over ocean currents is getting stronger and stronger. Surpassing the God of the Sea is just around the corner!"

"Hmph, hmph!" (That's right, don't you know who I am!)

Inside a bubble-like space formed on Xiao Hei's back, Quanmei finally took off her oxygen mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately turned around, straddled Xiaozhi's lap face to face, and gave him a tender kiss on the cheek.

"Master Satoshi, my mission is complete." Izumi smiled like an older sister after kissing him.

"Kyogre has successfully escaped, and it seems that Red Pine and the others have left by helicopter to search for Groudon on the other side."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up with joy, and he affectionately pinched her small nose and smiled.

"Well done, you'll get a reward tonight!"

As a special agent, Izumi's abilities are beyond doubt.

This time, she not only beautifully freed Kyogre, but also ensured that no one on her team was injured during the mission, which truly won Ash's heart.

He loved capable women the most. He patted Izumi on the back and then pulled her to sit down in front of him.

Ash let Izumi's head rest lazily on his chest, and then immediately piloted Black out of the sea, chasing after the direction the Magma Team helicopter had flown off in.

Looking at the ever-changing scenery before her, Izumi, who was being tightly embraced, felt a sweet warmth in her heart and couldn't help but sigh.

"Goodbye, Boss Water Wutong."

This was the last time she would do something for Archie. By helping to release Kyogre, Izumi could say she had repaid Archie's kindness in nurturing her.

Originally, Izumi was someone who deeply believed in the beautiful vision that the water lily had described.

It is believed that once Team Ocean truly takes control of Kyogre, Archie will be able to create a world where both humans and Pokémon can live happier lives.

Unfortunately, fate was unexpectedly seized by a muscular hand, and a sweet ball fell from the sky, causing his life trajectory to deviate drastically.

After Ash reasoned with her and appealed to her emotions, Izumi became Ash's best friend.

As for how to reason with her and appeal to her emotions, don't worry about it. Izumi's loyalty is now 100%, and she can never leave Satoshi.

Moreover, Xiao Zhi forced her to cram a lot of common geography knowledge.

"Being attracted to Archie's ideals shows that you are a bunch of idiots who care about nature and love Pokémon, and a bunch of idiots who are extremely lacking in basic knowledge!"

Ash said this at the time.

After completing her elementary and middle school studies, Izumi, a skilled and exceptionally talented member of the Marine Team who had dropped out of school at a young age, truly understood the impracticality of the Water Phoenix's ideal.

Although letting the ocean submerge the world might make the Pokémon in the sea live better, and the total number of Pokémon would also increase.

But what about the Pokémon and humans who originally lived on land?

Izumi finally realized what was happening, and after that, she completely sided with Satoshi.

In fact, Xiao Zhi's help filled in her cultural gaps greatly enhanced her professional skills.

Unlike Huoyan, although she is sweet and soft and intelligent, her attitude towards learning is far inferior to Quanmei's, and she often breathes out her breath.

After all, our purple-haired woman (how many purple-haired women is she now?) Huo Yan, she's a scientist, and she's known for a long time that Chi Yansong's ideals were problematic.

It was only because Huoyan was aloof and had no friends that she was tricked into joining the organization and becoming a follower by the mature middle-aged man Chiyansong's repeated praises.

Chiyansong was indeed very good to his subordinates.

He treats those he values ​​like a patriarch, feeding them when they're hungry, buying them medicine when they're sick, scolding them for mistakes, and rewarding them for good ones.

Not only did he constantly shower Huoyan with praise like "Great job!" and "You're the best!", but he also promoted her to a leadership position, showing that he valued her highly.

This made Huoyan and Huocun, cadres with similar experiences, extremely loyal to him.

However, although Chi Yansong was a good leader, he was also an ambitious man at heart.

The more useful someone is to him, the more care he will give to that person.

With each mission, Huocun completed them more and more beautifully, and Chiyansong valued him more and more.

Gradually, Huoyan was neglected, to the point that she was trampled on by Huocun in a later mission.

Many dangerous tasks are even assigned to Fire Goose.

Little Fire Goose, who lacked love since childhood, just wanted to find a strong shoulder to lean on. What did she do wrong?

Then, the strongest and most reliable shoulder offered itself up for her to lean on.

After the same Sweet Ball is thrown down, Ash's broad shoulders allow her to lean on them to her heart's content.

After a few rounds, Huoyan's emptiness from lacking love was filled.

She became Ash's closest cat, his own "gentle catgirl," even though she often hisses at the cat toy...

Now, after observing the situation of Team Ocean, Fire Goose has separated from Team Lava and joined up with Haruka and the others.

The race between Team Magma and Team Aqua, which was monitored by Ash, ended after Archie found Kyogre bathing in the ocean first.

There's no way around it; the ocean team definitely has an advantage on the high seas, after all, they are professionals.

Didn't you see that Groudon, unable to fly or swim, could only slowly make its way to the nearest land, Morpheus, surrounded by this vast ocean?

The way they walked, unsteadily, was incredibly pitiful.

Fortunately, because Groudon leaks when it walks, the tracks it leaves are particularly noticeable.

Crimson Pine and the others also successfully found the stone path formed by the cooling magma, closely following Groudon, only a step behind Archie.

At this moment, Archie, holding the radiant red orb, had firmly controlled Kyogre's mind.

At that moment, the entire ocean seemed to have become his toy.

Shui Wutong laughed heartily as she looked at the distant horizon where the rain was pouring down.

"How beautiful the ocean is! This is your true power, Kyogre!"

"Come, let the ocean rise and sink the whole world!"

The already chaotic sea became even more turbulent after Shui Wutong shouted.

It's fortunate that this is a remote sea area far from the main shipping lanes, otherwise who knows how much trouble Georgina's antics would have caused.

At this moment, the fathead fish leaped out of the water, flapping its huge wings like a roc, stirring up one after another sea tornado that pierced the sky and earth, its body pattern flashing with a captivating red light.

Just as Shui Wutong was feeling smug, A Chao, who was standing next to him, suddenly came to report.

“Boss, we’ve received intelligence that Crimson Pine and his crew seem to be chasing Groudon and landing on Momonos Island.”

"Hmph, that idiot Crimson Pine was still a step behind me after all!"

"Let's go to Mons Island and show those guys the power of Kyogre. I want him to admit that only the sea is the true power to conquer the world!"

The red orb in Archie's hand echoed the crimson madness in his eyes; the more he used the orb to harness the power of Kyogre, the more his will was eroded.

However, none of the current members of Team Aqua noticed that something was wrong with their leader. They simply assumed that Archie was about to lead them to realize their long-held dream and were too excited.

The simple-minded Ah Chao didn't see any problem at all, and even his desire to mock their arch-rival Team Lava was more intense than that of Water Archie.

"Hahaha, boss, I've been wanting to teach those bastards from Team Lava a lesson in how powerful we are!"

Even though he was excited, he still took the time to talk about Izumi.

"We still haven't been able to contact that leader, Quanmei. The team members who went with her said that she left the scene by diving underwater."

"The ocean is in such a state of chaos right now, shouldn't we send someone out to search for it, just in case something unexpected happens..."

Ah Chao cautiously watched Shui Wutong, waiting for his instructions.

But at this moment, Shui Wutong seemed to only have the red pearl in her eyes, and ignored Achao's report.

After a long silence, he finally spoke coldly.

"Alright, stop worrying about such trivial matters. Immediately turn the plane around and head towards Mengsi Island. Quanmei is just getting ahead of time to enjoy the blessings of the sea!"

"Yes!"

————Root Fluctuation————

Meanwhile, on Dream Island, Crimson Pine and his companions finally landed.

Following the trail of lava on the ground, they searched for Groudon without stopping for a moment.
