In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"Of course, helping out as a friend is a must, don't worry."

Bakura nodded and smiled at Mikuri.

"Thank you." Mikuri thanked Bakura gratefully and led Lucky Kappa toward another street.

"Why is that, Deoxys?"

Bakura narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to guess Crimson Flame Pine's purpose, if he had to say.

In Larousse, only Deoxys could make Crimson Pine go to such lengths.

................

But how did Crimson Pine know Deoxys's whereabouts?

"Forget it, everything will be clear once we find the Crimson Flame Pine. Let's go, campfire."

Finally, Bakura grinned and threw out a Poké Ball, which landed in front of him.

The two people and the elf slowly walked towards the street opposite to Mikkuri's.

There were several people fighting right in front of them; it turned out to be the trainers and members of Team Magma.

Latios, Dragon Pulse!

A soft command sounded, and the blue Latios flew swiftly above the chaotic battle of Pokémon.

Azure dragon light condensed in its mouth, then shot fiercely towards the large wolfhound and the fire-breathing camel.

The violent dragon-type energy exploded instantly, and after the smoke and dust cleared, the Great Hound and the Fire-Breathing Camel had lost their ability to fight.

The four people present were stunned. The legendary Latios?

Especially the two Team Magma members, their Pokémon just went down like that?

"Come on, tell me, where is your boss?"

Bakura slowly walked up to the two stunned Team Magma members, carrying a campfire, and asked softly with a smile.

Latios flew above Bakura, a faint dragon light gathering in its mouth, and its target was none other than the two Team Magma members!

Team Lava members: ...

If you want to ask, just ask. Why make things so dangerous, right...?

Chapter 172 Hand over your legend, Deoxys attacks.

Meanwhile, on another street, several Team Magma members dressed in fiery red uniforms were confronting several trainers. "Boss, you go ahead, I'll take care of this."

A lava team leader spoke in a deep voice to the mature middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man had fiery red hair, a stern and dignified face, wore glasses, and exuded a mature aura. He was none other than Crimson Pine, the leader of Team Lava!

"Alright, I'll leave it to you."

Red Flame Pine pushed up his glasses and said calmly that the trainers in front of him were not very strong, so he was completely at ease.

Moreover, time should not be delayed too long; he must get to the research building as soon as possible and snatch that gem!

This was a clue he had painstakingly obtained. With this spirit, he could find the boy who stole the crimson gem at the end of last year and the traitorous campfire! "August 17th"

Once he obtains the Crimson Gem, he can reclaim Groudon and realize his dream once more!

"Oh~ Isn't this our Lord Crimson Pine?"

As Chi Yansong and the remaining cadres were preparing to leave for the research building, a flippant voice suddenly rang in his ears.

This caused Chi Yansong's pupils to shrink.

Chi Yansong's face instantly darkened. He turned his head and saw a man and a woman.

"Bakura! And... a campfire!"

Looking at the young couple before him, Chi Yansong subconsciously clenched his fists and slowly uttered these two unforgettable names.

"It's that person from yesterday!"

Among the trainers, the girl in red, Haruka, saw Bakura and her eyes lit up.

That way, there's absolutely no need to be afraid of these bad guys! If it's this person, they could definitely take care of them easily!

"It's truly an honor. I never expected Lord Crimson Flame Pine to remember my name. I'm so touched!"

Bakura grinned wickedly, tilting his head slightly as he looked at the Crimson Flame Pine.

He still had a deep impression of Crimson Pine, after all, it was the one who helped him go through so much trouble to find Groudon.

Bakura was very 'grateful' to Akamamatsu.

"Hmph! I already backed down back then, are you still going to try and stop me today?"

Chi Yansong's chest heaved slightly, and anger flashed in his deep eyes, but he suppressed his anger and said to Bakura in a deep voice.

"Obstacles? What makes you say that, Lord Crimson Flame Pine? I've come to save you!"

Bakura looked at the Crimson Flame Pine in surprise, as if to say, "Why don't you understand me?"

Chi Yansong's face darkened. In his opinion, Bakura was far too arrogant!

Is it fun to tease him?

"how do I say this?"

However, Chiyansong held back. Now was not the time to turn against Bakura, and it was best not to make a move if possible.

After all, Bakura's strength made Crimson Mist very wary, and besides, it was unknown whether Bakura had actually obtained Groudon.

Crimson Pine went back to search that underground cave, but there was no trace of Groudon anymore.

This also suggests that Groudon has most likely been taken away by Bakura!

"It seems that Lord Crimson Pine really doesn't know that Daigo and Michael are also in Larus City now."

Bakura's lips slowly curled up as he spoke softly to Akahama.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yansong frowned deeply; he truly didn't know that.

Otherwise, given his cautious and meticulous nature, how could he have rashly attacked Larousse City?

Are you telling the truth?

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, Akane Matsu stared intently at Bakura, but Bakura maintained a smile on his face, leaving Akane Matsu unable to fathom his thoughts.

"withdraw!"

After hesitating for a long time, Akamamatsu gritted his teeth and said, "Daigo and Michael are here too. We absolutely cannot stay here any longer."

Chi Yansong knew very well that with his Heavenly King level strength, he simply couldn't possibly defeat these two champions.

Whether it's true or not, Chiyansong dares not take the risk.

Since our purpose hasn't been exposed, we can always come back another time.

Upon hearing this, the Lava Team officers beside Crimson Flame Pine exchanged glances, but then obeyed Crimson Flame Pine's order and prepared to retreat.

But at that moment, a blue figure flashed across the sky, and a beam of cyan dragon light struck the back of the Lava Team and the others.

This caused the Lava Team and others, who had just taken a step, to retreat.

Red Flame Pine looked at Bakura with a grim expression, because he saw that Latios had flown above Bakura again.

This is Bakura's spirit!

"What do you mean by this?" Red Flame Pine took a deep breath and questioned Bakura in a stern voice...

"I didn't say you could leave, did I?" Bakura said with a faint smile.

"you!"

"Alright, Lord Crimson Pine, let's not beat around the bush. What brings you to Larus City with such a large entourage today?"

Bakura gently spun the Poké Ball in his hand, looked at Red Pine, and asked slowly.

"As a favor from an old acquaintance, if you confess honestly, you might suffer less."

"Anyway, you're not leaving Larousse City today. The police station is a good fit for you, isn't it?"

Bakura smiled faintly; he had no intention of letting Crimson Flame Pine leave.

"Are you playing me?" Upon hearing this, Chi Yansong's expression turned completely gloomy, his dark gaze fixed on Bakura.

This kid was definitely playing him for a fool!

"Boy, do you really think I, Crimson Flame Pine, am easy to bully? Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."

Crimson Pine held two shrunken Poké Balls in his hands and spoke coldly to Bakura.

"Tsk tsk~ That's terrifying. It seems we really have to take action."

Bakura's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as he tossed out the Poké Ball, and an Entei leaped out.

His majestic eyes were fixed on Crimson Flame Pine and the others.

"Another legendary spirit."

Crimson Pine's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses as he stared intently at the blazing Flame Emperor.

Where did this guy get so many legends about version 4.0?

Latios and Entei, are legendary Pokémon really that worthless?

"Big Wolfhound, Fire-Breathing Camel!"

With a grim face, Crimson Pine threw out the two Poké Balls in his hand. Now, he had to defeat this guy first.

"Boy, you've repeatedly obstructed me. Today, I, Crimson Flame Pine, will show you the consequences of meddling and playing tricks on me!"

Looking at Bakura, Akahama Matsu roared angrily in a deep voice.

No matter what, this time he's going to show this guy what the Crimson Pine Lava Team is all about!
