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

"What did you say…"

"Get out of here!!"

boom!

While Archie was still in a daze, Blue impatiently yelled and cursed, and Kyogre summoned another wave, which directly knocked a group of minions over.

This really scared the members of the Water Fleet. They were all soaked to the bone and hurriedly ran towards the submarine. Water Archie herself was forcibly taken away by Izumi.

"Phew... those guys are finally gone." Xiao Lan let out a long, weary sigh, and immediately used her other hand to pinch the wrist holding the pearl.

Then she let Ditto climb into her backpack and found the gold and silver wings that Ash had given her beforehand.

Placing two feathers on her palms and letting the iridescent light spread, Xiao Lan finally felt her emotions return to normal.

"Luckily, Ash was prepared," Blue said with lingering fear. "The power of this gem is too strong. Kyogre even tried to control me just now. And the greater the ambition it senses in the vicinity, the more likely the holder is to be controlled in reverse."

Those guys from Team Aqua are full of ambition and selfishness. If they continue to stay here, Little Blue will probably be turned into a clone by Kyogre.

"Let's go, let's take Kyogre to Sootopolis City, that's the only way to solve the problem completely."

With the support of the Gold and Silver Wings, Blue can control Kyogre while he is awake, but this is very difficult and the risk of being controlled by the other party is also very high.

However, Xiao Lan discovered that if she followed Georgopol's movements, it would be easier to control him.

For example, if you agree to let Kyogre go to Sootopolis, you can make a condition to it: don't let its abilities affect the marine environment and weather.

Kyoka reluctantly agreed, and Little Blue was relieved.

Both she and Shigeru's principle in dealing with the Hoenn gods this time was to do everything possible to avoid battle.

Fighting against a level one god is very troublesome; one wrong move and it could trigger a new natural disaster.

Admittedly, with Ash's current strength and resources, he is indeed confident that he can forcefully suppress the two gods of land and sea.

However, during the suppression process, at least half of the land and sea creatures in Hoenn will be ravaged!

So it's best to avoid fighting if possible. If you absolutely have to fight, wait until you reach Liuli City and are surrounded by the Three Sacred Pillars before engaging in combat, to minimize your losses!

"See you at sea later." After roughly agreeing with Kyogre, the three of them easily returned to the sea using Sabrina's teleportation, which allowed them to travel across several cities.

Kyogre quickly emerged from the sea, lying silently in the turbulent waters, its eyes fixed on the jewel in Little Blue's hand.

Little Blue, who was heading towards Liuli City, was unaware that a strange darkness was hidden deep within the indigo jewel!

...

At the same time, at the underground base of the Misty Mountain Fire Rock Team.

The group of henchmen were forced to retreat in disarray, unable to withstand the attack of Xiaogang and Youshu.

But Crimson Pine seemed oblivious to the tense situation behind him, keeping its hands raised as if showing Groudon the jewel it held…

call out!

A figure flashed by at lightning speed, and Crimson Flame Pine's hands were instantly empty.

"Unit Zero, well done~" A mocking laugh came from above. Chi Yansong looked up and found that it was Xiao Shi who had stolen his treasure!

The other party was riding on the back of a fossil aeroda, accompanied by a Zapdos from the Kanto Legend and a Porygon with sharp, angular features.

It was this creature that forcibly took the pearl from the Crimson Flame Pine.

"Team Magma, it's time for you to leave." Shigeru calmly issued his final ultimatum.

"Why should I?" Crimson Pine asked angrily.

"Because I can control Groudon!"

boom!

Gary tightened his grip on the Orb, and Groudon stomped down hard, sending the surrounding Team Magma minions sprawling.

"Do you understand now?" Xiao Mao asked coldly, "Do you want to leave immediately... or do you never want to leave again?"

"We...retreat!" Chiyansong gritted his teeth in extreme reluctance, but finally gave the order to retreat, leading the second-generation Fire Village and a group of henchmen away from the area.

"It's done. I wonder if this villainous organization is strong or weak." Seeing Team Magma retreat like a tide, Shigeru shrugged with a sigh.

You might say they're weak, but they've managed to survive to this day, and the Hoenn League can't do anything about them.

But if you say they're very strong, then Gary's three-person team could easily sweep them all, and even manage to capture a Groudon along the way!

"Xiao Mao, are you alright?" Xiao Gang asked worriedly.

Nine-Tailed Loke secretly told him that Shigeru's condition was not good, and he seemed to be being corrupted by the power of the orb.

“That’s all we need to do.” Xiao Mao immediately took out the Golden and Silver Feathers. “With their protection, we don’t need to worry about being controlled. Let’s head to Liuli City now.”

Like Blue, Gary also made a deal with Groudon: it needs to switch to ground-based movement and cannot activate its ability during this period.

Groudon agreed for the time being in order to achieve its goal, and then it couldn't wait to leap up and pierce through Mist Mountain like an eruption of lava!

Looking at the huge hole that had been cut open above his head, Xiao Mao was shocked, but also amused.

"It even managed to break through a mountain, and you still say Groudon can't fly?"

Chapter 879 Outside Liuli City, Land and Sea Meet!

In the eastern part of Hoenn, Sootopolis City, surrounded by the sea, is currently in dire straits.

The surging waves kept crashing against the seawall, seemingly trying to drag the entire city into the sea; the sun overhead, however, continued to radiate its scorching rays, as if trying to burn everything to ashes.

Daigo, draped in a cape, stood atop his Odd-colored Metagross. He gazed at the raging natural disasters around him, his already weary face now etched with worry.

Since the disaster suddenly broke out, he has been carrying out rescue work in Liuli City without rest.

"Groudan, Kyogre... why did they appear?!"

He clenched his fists and roared his questions, his emotions seemingly on the verge of spiraling out of control.

But when he thought about the situation in Sootopolis and even the entire Hoenn region, he had to force himself to endure and muster his spirits to continue shouldering the responsibility of being the champion.

"Bonnie, who has come to the rescue?" Steven asked Ice King, who was directing his partner to build defenses, as he flew to the city's embankment on Metagross.

Bonney and Daigo arrived one after the other, and they are both exhausted now.

"So far, only Nakia has flown over from Lilycove City and is currently monitoring the movements of the Sea and Land Gods," Bonnie said helplessly. "The entire Hoenn region has been hit by disaster, and the other Gym Leaders have to prioritize protecting their own cities... Besides, even if they wanted to come, it wouldn't be so easy for them to get here."

"Where are the Four Heavenly Kings? What are they doing?!" Daigo asked anxiously.

“Genji went to sea a couple of days ago, saying he was going to investigate the treasure of a sunken ship; Furong seems to have heard some rumors and went to Yanzhu Mountain to investigate, but there's been no news yet; as for Hanatsuki…” Bonnie hesitated for a moment before whispering, “Hanazuki and Mr. Mikuri were called by those directors to escort important people to evacuation…”

"Damn it... I get it." Daigo almost gritted his teeth and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He really couldn't help but swear just now!

So, all these gym leaders and Elite Four members that Hoenn have raised are completely unreliable when it really matters?

And Genji and Fuyou, are they brain-dead? How could they not realize that Team Aqua and Team Magma were using a diversionary tactic?!

Objectively speaking, Daigo's thinking was limited due to insufficient information.

He still believes that the Water and Fire Organization was the instigator of this natural disaster and is unaware that there are even deeper hidden forces behind it.

The other party orchestrated all the trouble, aiming to plunge Hoenn into disaster and then use this quagmire to wear down the savior who was constantly slandered by some people in Hoenn but still came to their aid!

"Daiwu, how's it going on your end?" After a while, the other twin star of Hoenn finally arrived late, riding Milotic.

"Have all those people already evacuated?" Daigo asked Michael dryly.

"Yeah, we're already on the airship..." Mikoli looked a little embarrassed, clearly aware that this whole thing was a bit of a mess.

Because the Hoenn League is a system jointly governed by different families, its governing body has always operated in the form of the Pokémon Association.

At the beginning of the disaster, the council members from various families were able to work together to save Hoenn from the fire and water... But when the news of Groudon and Kyogre's appearance went viral, everyone panicked!

They had no intention of coordinating disaster relief efforts anymore, and without even notifying Daigo and Bonnie who were still on the front lines, they hurriedly found a giant airship, loaded themselves and their families, and fled.

The alliance won't fall; they'll continue to watch over Hoenn from above... Listen to how beautifully they put it!

"Where's Kagetsu? Why did you come back alone?" Daigo asked again, not seeing the Dark-type Elite Four member.

“He… was kept behind by the council members as a guard,” Mikoli stammered, his voice trailing off. “You can understand, right? They need someone to protect him over there…”

On one side is his good brother who is a champion, and on the other side is his family ally with whom he shares weal and woe. Caught between them, Mikoli felt that he was in a really difficult position.

What's more, his own sister and niece are both on the airship now...

"I...I need to take this call first." Daigo wanted to say something more, but his phone rang at that moment.

He picked it up casually, and an expression of disbelief quickly appeared on his face!

"Are you telling the truth? I... okay! I believe you, let them meet outside Liuli City!"

Hearing the assurance from the other end of the phone, Daigo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to trust the other party.

He has trusted the other person many times... and has never been disappointed!

"Caw!" The cry of a parakeet came from mid-air, and a tall woman wearing a special flight suit descended from the sky and rushed anxiously to the group.

"Mr. Daigo, Ms. Bonney... you're here too." The newcomer glanced at Wallace, then coldly skipped over the question. "Groudon and Kyogre are about to launch a pincer attack on Sootopolis. Should we organize a full evacuation?"

"No need! Notify everyone to take refuge within the city. I assure you in my name that Sootopolis City will be safe!" Daigo said decisively. "I just received a message from Ash. He has already set up defenses in the nearby sea area, which will minimize the impact of the Sea God and Land God!"

"Ash? Steven... you actually believe what he says?" Wallace asked worriedly. "By bringing the two sea gods together in Sootopolis City, is he sure he doesn't intend to wipe out the entire Hoenn League?"

“It was the two gods’ own idea to meet in Sootopolis City, not Ash’s arrangement,” Steven explained urgently. “After the two ancient Pokémon awakened, they were attracted by the natural energy of the seabed in Sootopolis City and spontaneously came here… Only by following their movements can the disasters along the way be mitigated.”
