Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

These two organizations were only second-rate to begin with.

The successive losses of cadres and team members forced the leaders of the two organizations to shake hands and make peace, sharing intelligence.

... ...

"Red Pine, without the technical support of your Team Magma, we probably wouldn't be able to awaken Kyogre right now!"

Shui Wutong said with a forced smile.

In terms of technology, Team Magma has always been ahead of Team Aqua.

From the very beginning, Team Magma knew the location where Groudon was sleeping.

Furthermore, they established a secret base in the place where Groudon's original body slept.

In contrast, the Aqua team, despite having consulted materials, knew that Kyogre was sleeping in the deep sea.

However, they lack the necessary vehicles to explore the deep seabed.

Naturally, they were a step behind.

Later, by stealing the Deep Sea One, they were able to enter the seabed and see Kyogre's true form.

In return, the twenty ships that Team Fire Rock just piloted were made by Team Aqua.

"Hehe, everyone's just getting what they need." Crimson Pine also gave a fake smile.

"Reporting to the leader!"

After counting the number of casualties, the Hokage walked up to Akahama Pine and, without any hesitation, said to Mizuki Gotoku, "In order to land on Gravity Island, we lost more than 600 team members. Currently, we only have 1045 team members remaining."

"Ah."

Crimson Flame Pine nodded heavily. The number was about the same as his estimate; it was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Fortunately, Groudon has been successfully awakened, so at least the first objective has been achieved.

"Your naval fleet arrived here so far in advance, you must know the situation on the island very well, right?" Crimson Pine asked.

"All the terrain has been scouted, and preliminary defensive deployments have been made."

Water Wutong pulled out a simple map and placed it in front of Red Flame Pine.

Several locations were marked on it with different colored ink.

Shui Wutong pointed to the most conspicuous spot, a circle drawn in red, and said, "This place is the Sky Pillar, which looks like a tall tower."

“We tried to climb the Sky Pillar, but we found that it was impossible to get up there.”

"There seems to be an invisible, repulsive force preventing anyone from entering."

Crimson Pine nodded and looked at the highest point on Gravity Island.

A towering structure, about two hundred meters high, stood there like a colossal giant.

"It's a good thing we can't get up there. Even if we fail, we can still stop those annoying mad dogs!"

"And that hateful guy!"

Crimson Pine harbors deep hatred for the Alliance's investigators.

Of course, he hated Haoyan even more, as the 'culprit'!

Shui Wutong sensed the resentment in Chi Yansong's words and felt a slight pang of sympathy. He could particularly understand Chi Yansong's feelings.

"What are your plans for the next steps?"

The repeated failures of the Crimson Flame Pine caused its personality to become somewhat cold and gloomy, interrupting the Water Wutong's sighs.

Shui Wutong quickly pulled herself out of her thoughts and started pointing at various parts of the map.

"We've positioned men at each of these locations to ambush..."

As they spoke, Crimson Flame Pine listened and nodded.

Both organizations share the same goal: to prevent anyone from entering the Sky Pillars and awakening Rayquaza.

The League will absolutely not allow Groudon and Kyogre to fight each other.

A solution will definitely be found.

This is also why the two organizations joined forces.

Guard the entrance to the Sky Pillar as much as possible and prevent anyone from getting close.

Try to buy enough time for the two ancient Pokémon to decide their match.

As long as one of them defeats the other.

This would indirectly fulfill one party's plan.

"For the faith we have always upheld."

"Kyogre, the one who gives birth to life and represents the sea, is the victor."

"It was Groudon, the god of the land, who successfully expanded the land area."

Let's wait and see!

The Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Sycamore exchanged a glance.

He then began assigning his team members to their respective positions.

... ...

Chapter 344 That Haoyan must die.

Haoyan rode on the back of the fire-breathing dragon, his face filled with solemnity.

It's still 20 nautical miles from Gravity Island.

However, the outline of the entire gravity island is already basically visible.

The towering tower on the island stands out starkly against the sea, like a pillar stabilizing the ocean.

"Haoyan, we'll be traveling by water next."

Naki, riding her shimmering giant swallow, flew beside Haoyan.

“Yeah, my Big Mouth won’t last long,” Mikoli chimed in from the side.

The closer you get to Gravity Island, the more you can feel its powerful gravitational magnetic field.

It was as if the small island before me came from somewhere else and did not belong to this world.

The Pokémon flying in the air look as if they have super-weighted training gear strapped to their wings.

In particular, most of the investigators use Tropius as their flying Pokémon.

Tropical dragons are already quite heavy, and when combined with the weight of a human, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to fly.

"I understand. You guys wait for me on the sea."

"I observed the situation carefully before coming down."

Haoyan took out a high-powered telescope and carefully examined the situation before him.

“Okay.” Mikoli nodded, released a dragon, and rode on his back.

The other investigators also summoned their Pokémon and waited at sea.

... ...

Through observation, Haoyan discovered the submarine that had been stolen by the Water Fleet, Haiyuan No. 1.

There were also twelve wrecked ships.

On the beach of Gravity Island, there are many human footprints.

However, no one was seen; they had clearly hidden themselves.

It is estimated that they will deliver a fatal blow to them after they land on the island.

... ...

Not far away on the sea, groups of Gyarados were rolling around on the surface.

The megalodon, attracted by the smell of blood, also lingered around.

I estimated that the total number of both is at least 500.

"Little Dragon, can you still keep flying?" Hao Yan patted the Charizard and asked.

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

The Charizard roared, indicating that there was no problem.

Having worn heavy protective gear for many years, he didn't feel much of the effects of gravity and magnetic fields.

It's pretty much the same as regular weight training.

What's the difference?

"I'll go ahead and check the situation later. You guys wait here for me."

"We'll discuss the specifics of how to get to the island when I return."

Hao Yan addressed the group led by Mikoli.

"Can Charizard fly forward?" Naki said, somewhat surprised.

Her mount, the Great Swallow, clearly felt the pull of gravity on him.

Just now, in order to maintain flight, I had to flap my wings three times faster than usual just to barely stay afloat.

"If it really becomes too difficult, I will turn back immediately," Haoyan said.

Observations using a high-powered telescope clearly revealed traces of Team Magma and Team Aqua.

If you land on the island without understanding the specific circumstances, you will definitely fall into their trap.

After all, Haoyan's group this time did not have the advantage in numbers.

Breaking through the defenses of Gyarados and Sharpedo is not an easy task to begin with.

In particular, the combined number of people in the two organizations is likely to exceed 2000. Facing an attack by 2000 people at the same time is no trivial matter.
