Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"I'm also wondering, but logically it shouldn't be like this." Xiao Zhi was also completely confused at this point.

He destroyed both orbs, and the Water and Fire Organization's conspiracy was exposed long ago, so there's no reason for Kyogre to be awakened.

Moreover, without the Ocean Abyss 1, the Aquamarine Fleet couldn't even enter the underwater cave. Are the people at Devon Corporation and Kusnogi Shipyard incompetent? How could they let someone take the submarine away under such circumstances?!

(Actually… there might be another possibility.) The management spirit secretly reminded, (In your opinion, no one has the ability to directly contact Kyogre right now… so if the tsunami was indeed caused by it, it means it was awakened by the Orb.)

(An indigo orb? But...) Ash was taken aback; that thing had already been destroyed!

(To be logical, this is the only way to deduce it.) The management sprite said seriously, (The orbs may have reappeared for some reason, and they might even be appearing in pairs!)

(I understand...) Xiao Zhi forced himself to calm down and quickly figured out the key point at hand.

Assuming the two orbs have indeed reappeared and their power has been activated in some way... only then could Kyogre have awakened from his seal without cause.

Meanwhile, Groudon may have already awakened!

Ash is currently unable to find these two ancient Pokémon, so what he needs to find is the person who remotely controls them using the Orb!

"Spiky, have you heard anything about Team Magma or Team Aqua lately?" Ash asked, turning to Spiky.

The water, fire, and environmental organizations are the prime suspects for doing something like this.

“Absolutely not.” Fujiki shook his head helplessly. “They have disappeared since they suffered a series of blows. The Hoenn Alliance has been busy cleaning up the Larus families lately and has no time to monitor their whereabouts... It seems that even the people targeting me are almost gone.”

"This is bad... Anyway, let's arrange disaster relief first."

Xiao Zhi sighed helplessly and could only make arrangements for disaster relief first.

Fearing that communication signals might be blocked, he opened a ring road to Kanto and Alola to meet directly with Rika and Nanami.

"Miss Rika, Sister Nanami, this is the situation in Hoenn. Please organize a rescue team immediately to go and provide disaster relief!" Ash said urgently in the circle, but both girls frowned in complaint.

"Why did you go back to Kanto when you were perfectly fine? Why did you go to Hoenn again?" Nanami complained worriedly. "You haven't recovered yet. What if something happens to you?"

“That’s true. No matter how much Mr. Ash wants to be the savior, he shouldn’t have gone all out twice in half a month.” Rika’s words were also full of worry.

"I'm sorry, I know this will make you worry..." Xiao Zhi said apologetically, his head lowered. "But there are some things I can't leave undone. No matter how much I dislike this place, I can't just stand by and watch it be swallowed up by disaster!"

"I understand, it was my fault... I will fully support Mr. Satoshi's choice." Rika was the first to speak up. "I will apply to Mr. Watari for disaster relief matters and then notify Mr. Shigeru and the others to gather together."

"I'll also have the Ether Foundation prepare supplies and a rescue team, and I'll notify Xiaolan and the others as well," Nanami assured her. "Anyway..."

"Please make sure you stay safe!!" *2

Chapter 875 The Three Primary Colors of Kanto, Hoennium: Land, Sea, and Air!

After arranging rescues from Kanto and Alola, Ash left Blastoise and Gyarados with Spine just in case.

According to his deduction, the island of Martial Arts would not experience another large-scale tsunami in the short term, and Ash's two companions would be able to handle the remaining waves.

However, the situation remains dire. Considering that Groudon has also awakened at the same time, the two ancient Pokémon will definitely head towards Sootopolis City.

They cause serious disasters along their route, but the damage is greatly reduced after they pass through.

However, once they meet in the sea off Sootopolis, a protracted war will break out, and a new round of natural disasters will erupt in the entire Hoenn region!

"Registur, Regirock, Regice!"

After pondering for a while, Ash activated the ring leading to Sootopolis City and summoned the three legendary Regis again, explaining the situation to them with deep remorse.

"I'm so sorry, I know you all need to rest too, but I really need your support."

Ash decides to refer to the special episode's strategy and have the three Legendary Titans lie in ambush near Sootopolis City in advance. In case the Sea and Gecko Titans really do fight there, they might be able to use brute force to stop the leakage of their power.

Besides, these three have a good relationship with Ash, so there's no need to assign anyone to control them. It's unlikely that Steven would be exhausted...

"No need to apologize, everything you did was for the greater good! We have always felt honored to have been a part of it!"

Registeel spoke earnestly, and both the Rock and Ice Pillars agreed.

Since they established a connection with Ash, Ash has never once summoned them for his own selfish gain.

Through their many battles together, they were able to fully understand Ash's desire to protect the world.

"Thank you, then I'll leave it to the three of you!" Ash gave a slight nod to the three legendary Regis and sent them to Sootopolis City.

After that, he said goodbye to Fujiki and set off for Slateport City with Serena on a Dragonite.

The sea became terrifying again, and Ash's prediction was correct; the port city was also facing a huge crisis.

It was another all-out rescue. Ash and his friends were exhausted, but they finally managed to fight off the raging waves with their tenacious willpower!

While catching his breath, he also approached Captain Kusnogi.

The other party confirmed that the submarine equipped with a special drill bit was docked in the shipyard and no one was trying to take it.

That basically confirms it: no one has ever touched Kyogre; it was awakened by the Orb!

"Let's go, next we'll head to Violet City!"

Leaving the mother and daughter, along with Tyranitar, behind to build the dam, Ash, dragging his weary body, climbed back onto the Dragonite…

"It's already like this, are you still going?" Serena tugged at Ash's sleeve with concern. "Hoenn has so many coastal cities, are you really going to rescue them all one by one? Your body will really break down!"

"Salina, I..."

"What are the locals doing?" Serena shrieked and complained before Ash could explain. "Since the disaster started, we haven't been able to get through on the phone, and there hasn't been a single rescue worker. Every city is just leaving things to fate... Is the Hoenn League just going to stand by and do nothing?!"

Serena really doesn't understand why Ash is the only one fighting so hard here!

What are the higher-ups in Hoenn doing? Why aren't any of those Elite Four members or Champions helping Ash?

"Don't be like that." Ash gently stroked Serena's cheek and gently advised, "These days, disasters are frequently occurring in various parts of Hoenn, and communications may be affected... Besides, I didn't expect them to be able to help anyway."

To be honest, the higher-ups in Hoenn are only somewhat reliable in the special manga episodes.

In the comics, those characters really fight Rayquaza, and they really put in their best effort when disaster strikes, even at the cost of their lives.

However, outside of the manga, the Hoenn Elite Four did not appear in the game's storyline, except for one time when Daigo fought against the villains.

In the anime, the Elite Four champions are just for show; when the Water and Fire factions clash, it's Pikachu and Lance who carry the whole team.

Xiao Zhi really doesn't need to have any expectations of these high-level executives.

"Let's go to Mauville City and see what's going on there," Ash continued to persuade. "And I also want to track down Kyogre's movements; it's hiding too deep in the sea."

Ash is now quite helpless. Even with the power of Kyogre, he still can't locate Kyogre's whereabouts, let alone find Team Aqua.

Therefore, he could only try to visit as many coastal cities as possible, hoping to find out some clues while carrying out disaster relief work.

"Well... alright then." Serena finally nodded helplessly and took off with Ash on a Dragonite.

But just as she was feeling uneasy, the Dragonite suddenly stopped in mid-air!

Across from them, a familiar newt was flying rapidly towards them.

"Ash...is that Ash over there?"

"Higanbana?" Ash was taken aback when he saw a familiar face, and quickly rode his Dragonite to greet her.

"Ash...and Serena? That's great...it's so good to have you two here!" May peeked out from behind Sisanna and, upon seeing the two she had just parted ways with, couldn't help but burst into tears of joy.

"Let's land first." It's not good to catch up in the air, so Ash had Dragonite find a small island and landed with Higanbana and the other two.

"I knew you'd come. Hoenn is in complete chaos." Higanbana greeted Ash... her tone was slightly gloating, but Ash didn't have time to pay attention to her right now.

"You passed through Zijin City, right? What's the situation there?"

“There was a major flood just now, and most of the city was submerged,” Xijiana said, shrugging. “But Tiexuan responded quickly. He had already set up shelters in New Violet City and transformed the streets of Violet City into automated conveyor belts, so the evacuation was completed very quickly.”

"Okay." Xiao Zhi nodded with relief.

Technology is indeed the primary productive force, and Mr. Tie Xuan is truly remarkable.

“But other places are in a terrible state…” Higanbana continued, “Groudan has obviously started to move around in northern Hoenn. We passed through Lilycove City before, and the trees there were almost burned down.”

As expected, the worst-case scenario unfolded: both the land and sea gods went berserk simultaneously, ravaging coastal cities with tsunamis and setting them ablaze inland...

"Can you find Groudon?" Ash asked anxiously.

“We can’t find it.” Higanbana shook her head helplessly. “Grodo is the embodiment of the earth. It can perfectly blend into the land and go anywhere it wants to go. It can even travel directly on the seabed. When it is conscious, if it wants to hide, no one can find it.”

Ash understood. Kyogre must also possess similar abilities, no wonder it's called the embodiment of the sea.

With his incomplete Neptune power, he really had no way to deal with it.

"It seems that the only thing we can do now is to investigate Team Magma and Team Aqua..." Ash sighed.

Dealing with the Crimson Flame Pine and Water Wutong Tree in advance, and then snatching the mysteriously appearing pearl, is undoubtedly the fastest way to resolve the disaster.

But the problem is, where are those two?!

"You're looking for Team Magma and Team Aqua? I know where they are!" Higana suddenly gave a huge surprise.

"Really?!" Ash excitedly hugged her shoulders. "Higanbana, you really know where they are?!"

"I...yes."

"I'm sorry..." Higanbana nodded blankly, and Ash realized he had lost his composure and quickly let go of her.

“I previously infiltrated both organizations and even rose to the rank of squad leader in their independent operations, so I have a general idea of ​​their whereabouts,” Higana explained. “Team Magma moved their base from Mt. Chimney to Mt. Misty on Route 119, while Team Aqua is huddled in a submarine… Their whereabouts are unpredictable, but I have their communication frequency.”

"Great!" Ash was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately activated the rings leading to Kanto and Alola.

Knowing the locations of these two villainous organizations, he could then send men to carry out the decapitation plan!
