In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Bakura can better help Hoopa achieve this ideal.

Rationally, that's true, but emotionally, Balzac couldn't bear to let Hoopa leave.

After all, they had spent more than ten years together, and their feelings for each other ran very deep.

Upon hearing Balza's words, Hoopa hung its head in dejection, having truly forgotten that point.

"This punishment is a result of your great-grandfather's decision to punish Hoopa for abusing his power and causing widespread destruction."

"However, I think that Hoopa is completely different now than before, and I'm sure he can break that punishment."

Bakura smiled and shook his head upon hearing this. He didn't think it was a problem whether Hupa could pass through the spatial ring on his own.

Although Hoopa is still very naughty, he is completely different from before.

With proper guidance, helping it understand the meaning of its current life, breaking free from the punishment of the Baku is not a difficult task, in my opinion.

"Hoopa must succeed! Hoopa must become Bakura's hero!"

Upon hearing this, Hupa's big eyes lit up, and then he floated up and said with great spirit and determination.

Bakura was also an extremely important person to it, as he was the one who protected it from the evil Hoopa and risked his life for it.

Then Hoopa must also protect Bakura!

Upon seeing this, Balzac and the others couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Because they needed to help punish Hoopa to remove the punishment that prevented him from passing through the spatial ring, Balza and Mayari did not leave Desert City the next day.

Instead, several people were working together in an open space to try and completely remove the punishment from Hoopa.

Although it was very difficult at first, with the help of Hupa's own efforts and Balzameiari's special abilities, it was completed in the afternoon.

Punishment Hoopa finally agreed to cross his spatial ring.

"Congratulations, Hoopa, you succeeded."

Seeing that Punishment Hoopa was panting and exhausted, Bakura handed him a glass of juice.

Seeing how hard Hoopa was working for him, Bakura was deeply moved.

"Hehehe~ Isn't Hoopa great?" Punish Hoopa covered his mouth and chuckled, clearly very happy.

"Excellent." Bakura looked at the somewhat childish punishment of Hoopa and praised him with a smile.

Seeing this, Balzac's expression was quite complicated. He exchanged a glance with Mayali, and they both saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Maya nodded to Balzac.

"Bakura." Balzac called out softly to Bakura upon seeing this.

"what happened?"

"Bakura, subdue Hoopa."

Mei Yali pursed her lips, glanced at Punish Hoopa, and spoke to Bakura.

Both Bakura and Hupa were taken aback by the sound.

"I think you may have misunderstood. Although I like Hoopa very much, Hoopa would be happier living with you."

"Furthermore, Hoopa has a spatial ring, and we've already exchanged phone numbers. I can contact you whenever I need help."

Bakura frowned slightly, then said to Balza and his sister, "It's a pity we can't subdue Hoopa 320."

But actually, there's not much difference; he has a very good relationship with the Balza siblings and Hoopa.

They had already exchanged phone numbers, and when he needed Hupa's help, he would send a message to the two siblings.

They'll definitely get Hoopa to help through the rings.

“We understand that, but Hoopa himself would also like to go out and see the outside world, right? As for the Valley of Creation, with the Hoopa Ring, it can come and go freely.”

Balzac shook his head; this was the idea he had come up with after thinking about it all night.

While he certainly wished Hoopa could stay by his side forever, Hoopa's playful nature made it too selfish for him to stay with his siblings in the Valley of Creation.

Maya nodded in agreement with Balzac's statement.

"In that case, Hoopa, would you be willing to become my partner?"

Bakura glanced at the two siblings, and seeing that they were both serious, he pondered for a moment, then took out an empty high-level ball and asked Punishment Hoopa.

Since the Balza siblings have said so, continuing to refuse would be like judging others by one's own standards.

Hoopa stared at the Poké Ball in Bakura's hand, its little face scrunched up, and hesitated as it looked at Balzac and Maya.

Would you like to become my partner?

Hoopa stared at the Poké Ball in Bakura's hand with a troubled expression, Bakura's question echoing in its mind. Seeing Balzac and Mayari nodding encouragingly at it, Hoopa slowly reached out and touched Bakura's Poké Ball.

It doesn't dislike Bakura; in fact, because of the evil Hoopa incident, it likes Bakura very much.

Since both Balzac and Mayari wished for him to follow Bakura, there was no reason for him to refuse to punish Hoopa.

The moment it touched the Pokémon, Hoopa turned into a red light and was sucked into the Poké Ball.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

The button on the Poké Ball flashed red, and then fell silent completely after three beeps!

The demon god Hoopa! He's been captured!

Looking at the Poké Ball in his hand, Bakura couldn't help but smile.

He has finally caught another top-tier legendary Pokémon!

Not weaker than Black Rayquaza, and in some ways even stronger top-tier Pokémon!

Groudon is powerful, especially after Primal Reversion. It has great stamina and strong attack power, which are all advantages of Groudon. However, Groudon cannot fly.

This has already limited Groudon's performance, although it is possible to use a move like Ability Swap to switch to the Levitate ability and make Groudon float.

But it's all for naught?

Is Primal Groudon still Groudon without the Terminator ability? Without Terminator, Primal Groudon's Fire-type moves are significantly less effective, and its Ground-type moves are practically useless.

More importantly, the original Groudon has four times the weakest water system!

This is a fatal flaw.

The liberation of Hoopa could become Bakura's ultimate trump card!

Even if there is a chance to catch Black Rayquaza in the future, Black Rayquaza will demand to defeat it in a one-on-one battle, and Primal Groudon is no match for Black Rayquaza.

With Bakura now freeing Hoopa, he has the resources to give it a try.

"Congratulations, Bakura."

When Balzamerie saw that Hoopa had been punished and entered Bakura's Poké Ball, she looked somewhat dazed.

It would be a lie to say you weren't disappointed when a partner you've spent over a decade with was won over by someone else.

However, Balzac shook his head with a wry smile and congratulated Bakura.

"Thank you~."

Bakura looked at the two siblings gratefully and threw Hoopa's Poké Ball.

……

Before we knew it, it was evening.

How's Team Flare doing lately?

Bakura leaned against the bedside table and spoke to the laptop in front of him.

He is video chatting with Zaobo, although the Etherland business in the Carlos region has now been taken over by Glagio.

However, we are still in the transition phase, and Zaobo is still responsible for most of the reporting.

"Thanks to the young master, Team Flame has completely withdrawn from Team Skull's area of ​​operation; they've backed down."

Zaobo smiled meekly, indicating that Team Flare wouldn't dare to mess with them right now.

"Well, as long as you don't go too far, Team Flare should back down. Just be careful to keep things in check."

"Then, regarding the ultimate weapon, mention it to Gladion and tell him to intensify the search."

Bakura's lips curled into a slight smile as he reminded Zaobo about the concept of the ultimate weapon.

Bakura doesn't intend to leave it to Team Flare.

"Yes!"

"Is there anything else?"

Seeing that Zaobo seemed hesitant to speak, Bakura frowned slightly and spoke.

"Um... it's like this, Master Bakura, our people seem to have discovered a legendary mythical Pokémon in a huge forest..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zaobo said to Bakura.

"Mythical Pokémon?"

Bakura was taken aback. There are only three Mythical Pokémon in the Kalos region, and Hoopa is one of them.

And the other two...

"Are you sure?"

Bakura pondered for a moment, then his eyes flickered slightly before he spoke to Zaobo.

If it really is that one, that would be very interesting.

"...According to the testimony of a member of the Skull Team who returned, it should be correct. This is the news that just came back this afternoon, and it has not been confirmed yet."

Upon hearing this, Zaobo scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. He wasn't sure if the news was true, which was why he hesitated to tell Bakura.

"I understand. I'll go back tomorrow anyway, I'll go and see for myself."
