In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

But now it seems that Groudon is a legend that has lived for countless years, so how could it really be stupid?

"Human beings who covet the power of the gods will not end well."

Groudon responded calmly in its deep, hoarse voice, "Bakura's words are quite eloquent, but in the end, he's just greedy for its power."

Groudon didn't seem to dislike it much, or rather, it was indifferent to it as a matter of course.

Groudon understood long ago that there were far too many humans who coveted their advanced legends, or rather, the power of gods.

"The price of angering God is not something you can afford."

Groudon then stated a fact in a calm tone: throughout history, countless humans have coveted the power of the gods.

But in the end, they were all destroyed by their own greed!

This applies to every region!

"So I'm not using you, Groudon. You should understand that the gem was formed from your power, which is why it can restrain you, but it can't control you forever."

Bakura chuckled softly, explaining why he had been struggling with how to communicate with Groudon.

Because Bakura himself knew very well that using the Crimson Jewel to control Groudon was definitely not a long-term solution!

Otherwise, if Groudon ever goes out of control, he'll be the first one to suffer!

Gods are proud, because their life and race are inherently superior to all other life.

How could one possibly forgive an ant that is being used as a tool to control them?

Of course, if power reaches a certain limit, even a god...

Bakura's eyes widened slightly as he thought of this, because in his memory, the original story's Koryo not only defeated Ho-Oh and Lugia but also captured them.

They also controlled these two legendary figures, the supreme rulers of Kanto, and forcibly kidnapped many children...

Cough cough, finally Ho-Oh Lugia broke free from Gu Liu's control, but instead of taking revenge, it simply escaped...

It can only be said that Gu Liu was too terrifying, making Phoenix King and Loki too wary, so wary that they dared not retaliate.

"Groudon, I really hope you can think this over carefully. I have no ill intentions towards you."

"You are a top legend, a god, but endless life is always too boring, and constant slumber is also very dull, isn't it? Why not enjoy human life with me?"

"I really hope and look forward to becoming your true partner, Groudon. That would be my greatest honor."

Bakura sincerely told Groudon in the Poké Ball that he currently had no bargaining chips to tempt the legend.

Therefore, all we can do is try our best to show our sincerity.

The room fell silent once again as Bakura's voice faded.

"I have to admit, humans, you are very intelligent."

After a long while, Groudon's deep telepathic voice resonated once again in Bakura's mind.

"But all that's just sweet talk, human. Even if you asked me to return my power to you now, you wouldn't be willing, would you?"

Groudon's voice was devoid of emotion; it was a land overlord that had lived for countless years.

Although they rarely come into contact with humans, they understand that the most terrifying thing about humans is their cunning and cunning!

If this human is truly sincere, why doesn't he take the initiative to return the crimson jade to it?

Bakura was taken aback by what he heard, then chuckled. Indeed, if Groudon could follow him for a hundred years just by opening his heart and expressing his true feelings, then the legend would be too easy to believe.

Chapter 14 Onii-chan is so cool (I'm begging for anything)

Human lifespan is, strictly speaking, only a hundred years, which is just the time it takes to take a nap in a legend like Groudon. Following humans and becoming their partners is not a particularly unusual thing.

God is of course high above, and humankind also reveres and worships many gods.

Various regions contain relics that preserve information about gods and their past deeds.

But gods can also become friends or even allies with humans!

The most common examples are Zekrom, the black dragon, and Reshiram, the white dragon, in the Unova region!

These two dragons carry the weight of truth and ideals, and they will even actively choose humans as their heroes to engage in a fateful struggle between them!

It doesn't require the human to be particularly powerful. As long as that person has enough willpower, truth, and ideals, the Black Dragon and White Dragon will choose to become that human's partner!

For example, N!, the king of Team Plasma in the Unova region in the original work!

He entered the Dragon Spiral Tower, and his will was recognized by one of the black and white dragons. He then led that dragon god away from the Dragon Spiral Tower to pursue his dream.

That's why Bakura wanted Groudon to approve of him. Only by truly gaining God's approval could he fully display God's power!

God does not readily acknowledge a human being, but once He truly recognizes them, He will do everything in His power to help that human achieve their ideals and aspirations!

Ultimately, human lifespan is no more than a hundred years, and to the gods, they are merely passersby in a long life.

But being able to help a kind human being and help him complete a glorious life is also a very interesting and memorable thing for God.

"The Crimson Gem is my only means of power now, Groudon, I won't hide it from you."

"I don't trust you. The reputation of the Land Overlord is formidable. Since I took the initiative to find you, you don't think I'm unaware of your past glory, do you?"

Bakura pondered for a moment, then smiled and said this to Groudon.

Groudon is not a fool with only power; instead of hiding it, Bakura chose to confront the situation directly.

Perhaps being this direct is actually more likely to win Groudon's favor.

It is a god and would not like humans plotting and scheming in front of it.

"Humph!"

Groudon didn't speak, but responded with a cold snort.

The records of Groudon and Kyogre in the Hoenn region are actually quite simple: they created the ocean and the land, respectively.

then……

Then the most frequent records are of Groudon and Kyogre tearing each other apart... cough cough, it's more like a fierce battle.

The impact of the great battle between the gods would inevitably be very serious, especially since Groudon and Kyogre would be giving their all without caring about their surroundings.

In any case, Groudon's impression on humans, while not as extremely bad as Yveltal in the Kalos region or Kyurem, the Ice Dragon in the Unova region.

But it's definitely not good either.

"Groud, I am sure of your sincerity. As long as you are willing to become my partner and help me achieve my ideals."

"I will naturally return the vermilion jade to you as is."

Bakura said seriously to Groudon, "If Groudon is really willing to become my partner..."

Since the Crimson Gem was already useless, giving it back to Groudon so that it could fully master the power of Primal Reversion was perfectly fine.

"What a cunning human. That was originally my power, and you used it as a bargaining chip in your deal with me?"

Groudon was stunned upon hearing this. It really didn't expect Bakura to be so shameless. The crimson gem contained its original power.

That was originally its property!

But now this human is actually using it to make a deal?

This guy is despicable to an extreme!

"But I found the Jade for you, Groudon, you can't deny that, right?"

Bakura's lips slowly curled up, because he didn't hear anger in Groudon's tone; instead, he heard mostly surprise.

Groudon remained silent upon hearing this. It was indeed true; during its long period of slumber, its power had gradually fallen into a deep sleep as well.

Thus, the Jewel was born. Using the Jewel, Groudon and Kyogre can awaken this dormant power and restore their original forms.

But as time passed, Groudon and Kyogre's jewels were lost without them even realizing it...

"Groudor, perhaps for beings like you with infinite life, a mere hundred years of life is but a blink of an eye."

"But for us humans, that's all there is."

Bakura slowly stood up, a soft, enigmatic voice rising to his lips. The wine glass in his hand swayed gently, the pure, bright red wine reflected in Bakura's ears.

Groudon remained silent upon hearing this. Yes, although it knew that humans were greedy and cunning, it also understood that it had no idea what humans were really like.

Just like Ho-Oh, who once lived with humans, was utterly disappointed in humans hundreds of years ago, but in reality, Ho-Oh has never truly given up on humans.

It is still searching for children with pure hearts.

"In the span of a century, I want to do something extraordinary, to shine my light and warmth to the fullest! I also want my name to be remembered for generations to come!"

"Groudor, how about lending me your power?"

"Because, as long as you exist, I can be invincible! I... can also fulfill my own dreams."

Bakura took a small sip of red wine, and with a light but sincere smile, made his request to Groudon.

He had his own ambitions and aspirations, but Bakura understood very well that everything in the world must be built on the foundation of power!

Only then can we lay the groundwork and plan perfectly!

Bakura's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings) or rather, his heartfelt confession, went unanswered by Groudon for a long time.

Tick-tock tick-tock~

The clock on the wall ticked away second by second.

After waiting for another half hour, Bakura finally swallowed the red wine in his glass, quietly gazing at the gloomy scenery outside the window, a sinister smile slowly spreading across his lips.

Because he heard that voice, a deep, hoarse voice that resonated directly in his heart!

"Human, I will be watching you."

"Thank you. Let's get to know each other formally. I'm Bakura. It'll be a long time coming, Groudon!"
