Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The most terrifying thing is not the scorching lava!

Instead, there was an ancient aura emanating from the summit of Yantu Mountain.

... ...

Boom! Boom!

A loud noise came from the right side of Yantushan Mountain, and mud and rocks continued to collapse!

The mountain looks as if someone had carved a door out of it.

Immediately afterwards, many members dressed in uniform colors representing Team Magma emerged from inside.

These people were packed together!

Conservative estimates put the number at least at over a thousand!

Some of these members of Team Fire were carrying strange jet gliders on their backs.

This gliding equipment can generate tremendous jet force in a short period of time.

This allows one to glide a certain distance.

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

"Groud, the god of the earth, you have finally awakened!"

"Unleash your fury! Fill up the entire ocean!"

A man's voice, filled with madness and fanaticism, came from Team Magma.

The speaker was none other than Crimson Pine, the leader of Team Fire Rock.

When Mikkelsen saw Crimson Pine and the others, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said angrily, "The anomaly at Smokepuff Mountain was indeed caused by your Fire Rock Team!"

"Haoyan is right, your Fire Rock Team is indeed hiding inside Smoke Spill Mountain!"

The previously somewhat frenzied Crimson Pine's face immediately darkened upon hearing Hao Yan's name.

Their gaze swept toward the alliance's temporary base.

He quickly locked onto Haoyan and said in a vicious tone, "Haoyan!"

"They've repeatedly tried to stop us and steal the red orb that awakens Groudon!"

"But so what? Groudon was still awakened by us!"

Hao Yan merely glanced coldly at Chi Yansong before ignoring him and continuing to look at the map in his hand, deep in thought.

Professor Birch, standing nearby, immediately questioned angrily, "Do you know what the consequences will be if Groudon awakens?!"

The Crimson Pine in the distance glanced disdainfully at Professor Birch and said, "Ignorant!"

"As a Pokémon scholar, you should know how many Pokémon rely on land to survive!"

"But the ocean is much larger than the land!"

"If we can expand the land area, both humans and Pokémon will have more space to live!"

"This is also the reason why I put so much effort into forming Team Magma!"

"Groudor, the god of the earth, created land for us humans and Pokémon. This has always been the long-cherished wish of the entire Team Magma!"

Grandpa Mura was furious. His face flushed red with anger, and he roared in a powerful voice, "Madman! You're a complete and utter madman!"

"Do you know how many innocent people will die if Groudon awakens!"

"The entire town of Fuyan will be completely finished!"

"Even Autumnleaf Town, Verdant Hill Town, and Mauville City will be reduced to ruins because of Groudon!"

Crimson Pine, still full of disdain, said, "In every change in the new world, there will be victims."

"For the sake of the birth of a new world, we must make these useless people bear with us for a while!"

The Red Flame Pine's indifference to life, treating it like worthless weeds, thoroughly enraged everyone.

If it weren't for the sheer number of Fire Rock Team members, Mike, representing the league, would have already gone up and captured Crimson Pine, who was driving him to the brink of madness and filled with hatred.

On the alliance side, there are fewer than a hundred people, and half of them are researchers.

In terms of numbers, Team Firestone has more than ten times more than them!

... ...

Just then, another strange event occurred on the mountaintop!

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

A series of roars rang out, and the roars immediately stirred up a gust of wind!

The sand and stones whipped up by the gale were so thick that they almost blotted out the sky!

Everyone stared intently at the place on the mountaintop from which the terrifying roar had come.

A pair of giant claws emerged from the scalding magma.

The scalding lava was as calm as water.

With each movement of the giant claw, a great deal of magma was ejected.

The entire Yantu Mountain was so hot that it seemed as if all the oxygen had been burned away.

... ...

"Look, look!"

"Groud, the god of the earth, how beautiful he is!"

"I've waited far too long for this day!" Crimson Pine laughed wildly.

All eyes were once again focused on the mountaintop.

Those giant claws, without even thinking, belong to Groudon!

Judging from the size of his giant claws, Groudon must be at least 40 meters tall.

... ...

"Great Earth God Groudon, I really want to see more of your splendor!"

"As your most loyal servant, I will clear all obstacles for you!"

Crimson Pine reluctantly withdrew its gaze and gave the order to all the Fire Rock Squad soldiers around it: "Everyone, full speed ahead towards the destination!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving their leader's order, the soldiers shouted in unison.

Use the jet glider on your back to fly away quickly.

Some of the more powerful ones summon their Flying-type Pokémon and fly out of Mt. Chimney.

The sky was filled with countless flying teams of the Fireballs departing.

... ...

boom! boom! boom!

Groudon's giant claws tore the thin rock face of Smokeburst Pass apart in an instant.

Large amounts of magma continuously spewed out from the torn opening.

It won't be long before Groudon emerges from Mt. Chimney.

At that time, magma, along with Groudon's appearance, covered the entire Chimney Mountain.

... ...

Chapter 329 Groudon begins to move

Groudon kept crashing into the 'fragile' mountain, producing deafening explosions, and in addition to lava, countless pieces of rock flew everywhere.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Groudon roared and broke free from the mountain, revealing itself as a terrifying, 40-meter-tall ancient behemoth before everyone's eyes.

Anyone who sees such a terrifying Pokémon would feel terrified.

Even Wallace, the strongest fighter in the Hoenn region, was nervous when facing Groudon!

Groudon, having detached itself from the mountain, did not act immediately.

Instead, he kept his bloodshot eyes fixed on the southeast, sensing the location of his nemesis, Kyogre.

... ...

"We're out of time!"

"Listen to me, everyone!" Taking advantage of Groudon's momentary distraction while sensing its opponent Kyogre, Haoyan shouted, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

He pulled out the map, pointed to the places he had marked with his pen, and said.

"Cuckoo, bring your Pokémon!"

"Have your Pokémon use Earthquake in these locations along the ridge."

"The earthquake created a crack, forming a ring of terrain resembling a riverbed!"

"When the lava flows, it should be diverted along this river channel to other places!"

"Try to keep the lava away from Cauldron Town."

"Yasha, the Fire-type Pokémon you're using has some resistance to high temperatures. You can work with Cuckoo to create a channel and divert the lava."

"Did you two understand?"

Aysha was still a little confused and hadn't reacted yet, when Haoyan immediately shouted, "Aysha, do you understand now!"

Aysha then realized what was happening and quickly replied, "I...I understand!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Without the slightest delay, Aysa and Dujuan quickly released their flying Pokémon and headed towards the location Haoyan had indicated.
