Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

"O embodiment of the sea, obey my command!"

This was his only thought at that moment.

As if responding to the pearl's call, a second enormous pectoral fin extended, and then a giant fish, entirely azure with interspersed white markings, leaped out of the abyss.

If only one word could be used to describe this ancient spirit, whose aura was as still and boundless as an abyss, it would be "great"—

It has large pectoral fins and a large body. Of course, the largest part is its head, which accounts for almost two-thirds of the entire body.

The terrifying beast, shaped like a giant whale, let out a low growl and silently emitted sound waves of a strange frequency.

Ripples spread outwards along the rolling seawater, and in an instant, the crowd was scattered by the impact of this enormous energy.

Those who were lucky landed on the ground, those who were less fortunate were slammed against the wall, and a few unlucky ones were even swept away by the water flow into the abyss where Kyogre slept—

The man who dedicated his life to waking up Kyogre is now buried here, which, in a sense, can be considered a fulfillment of his wish.

The water sycamore holding the indigo pearl was among the lucky ones; it just fell to the ground but was unharmed.

He was now utterly astonished by Kyogre's rampage—what happened to the Indigo Orb being able to control Kyogre?

Undeterred, the water sycamore rose from the ground, once again raising the indigo pearl in its hand, conveying its message with all its heart—

"O embodiment of the sea, in the name of the Indigo Pearl, I command you to obey me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange, azure light shot out from the orb toward Kyogre, as if it had truly transmitted the message.

The giant azure fish slowly turned its head, its fat head's eyes gazing intently at the water lily, or more precisely, at the indigo pearl in its hand.

It obeyed the command!

A surge of joy welled up in Wutong's heart. Sure enough, as long as he used the name of the Indigo Orb, he could control Kyogre!

He took out a Great Ball, and was about to give the command to put Kyogre into the Poké Ball when he saw the fish he had been longing for swimming towards him.

What a good child! He even takes the initiative to come closer and stick to me.

This was Shui Wutong's initial idea.

But when he saw the giant fish head slowly open its mouth, Shui Wutong panicked.

Are you trying to apply a sticker? That's not how you apply a sticker!

He forced himself to remain calm and looked at Kyogre, trying to win it over with his heart, but all he got in return was a cold look.

The only desire in his eyes was for the precious jewel in his hand.

It wasn't until the moment before the Indigo Orb was swallowed by Kyogre that he realized one thing: the truth behind the Indigo Orb's ability to command Kyogre was that this ancient elf cared about something, nothing more.

…………

"The once-powerful Archie was ultimately buried inside Kyogre, which he desired most, and became a part of it."

Having escaped unscathed by hiding in the shadows, Cattleya delivered a poignant and measured final verdict on Water Willow, much like a narrator in a film or television drama.

The reason she can speak at a depth of hundreds of meters is thanks to her superpowers, which are no less than those of a champion-level Pokémon.

The water-repelling shield formed by her psychic powers provided her and Cynthia with a space to move around and breathe, but that was all—most of their Pokémon were not good at fighting underwater.

Milotic and Metagross weren't able to fight their way in and out of the enemy lines like Gruulton could, so they ultimately couldn't stop Team Aqua's plot to summon Kyogre.

"Fortunately, the Indigo Orb doesn't have the ability to control Kyogre. Now that it's out of control, let's quickly take this news back to Xia Chen."

"I can do it," Cynthia said calmly.

Gadria nodded, and just as she was about to activate her superpower, a figure darted out from the cave entrance like an arrow.

Cattleya shrugged. "Here we are?"

Xia Chen, who rushed over, asked with concern, "Cynthia, Gadria, are you alright?"

Therefore, as the Leton domain expanded, it incorporated the superpowered water-repellent shield covering the two, allowing the three to communicate and converse.

"We're fine, but Shui Wutong and the others might not be doing so well."

Gadriya gestured towards Kyogre, who seemed to be digesting the Indigo Orb, and said, "Look, one went into Kyogre's stomach, and several others fell into the trench."

Xia Chen frowned and said, "Why bother with them? Let's hurry up and go back. We definitely can't beat this fathead fish in the deep sea."

Cynthia asked, "What about you? Has Groudon woken up yet?"

Xia Chen shook his head. "No, the crimson pearl at the Crimson Flame Pine is fake..."

At this point, Xia Chen suddenly realized that the purpose of his trip was also the vermilion pearl.

Without time to explain to Cynthia and the other woman, he quickly released his Aura to search for the location of the Crimson Orb.

He wasn't too unlucky; he sensed an aura similar to a grass-green pearl on a person who was unconscious by the wall.

Taking advantage of Georka's dazed state, Xia Chen rode Guleton and retrieved the orb from there.

Swimming back to the two women, Xia Chen said, "Alright, there's no point in staying here any longer, let's go!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light, like the light of evolution, suddenly shone from Kyogre's body, illuminating the underwater cave as if it were daytime.

Xia Chen looked back in surprise.

Is this... primitive regression?

Meanwhile, in Liuli City, dozens of kilometers away.

As if sensing the sounds coming from the distant seabed, a long, ancient aura was slowly awakening...

…………

Three or four in the morning is the time when most people sleep the most soundly, but that doesn't mean everyone will fall asleep during this time, especially now that mobile internet is so widespread.

At this moment, in the ancient city of Liuli, a game streamer was still diligently streaming the popular game League of Legends to his small number of viewers.

During the loading screen intervals, he read the few comments he could find, as was his custom; this was probably the kind of hardship a small-time streamer faced.

He muttered to himself while looking at the screen, "Why isn't Qiuqiu asleep yet... I'll go to sleep after this game, I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

Only a handful of comments were interacting with him.

"I sleep at 5 a.m. and wake up at 7 a.m., and Hades praises my good health!"

"Qiuqiu, you need to get some rest."

"Is the streamer from Liuli City? Look out the window quickly, I heard something happened over there!"

The streamer named Qiuqiu muttered this strange comment in the chat, then turned and pulled back the curtains.

Outside the window, the bright sky made him, who had been in darkness for a long time, feel extremely uncomfortable, and he squinted slightly.

He glanced at the time on the computer; it was a little past four in the morning. No problem.

Did I start hallucinating from staying up all night?

Just as I was about to turn my head again to look for the sun in the sky, suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out, accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground.

earthquake?

He calmly lit a cigarette. The game had already started; he could finish this round first and then run away.

It's not that he's careless; perhaps because Liuli Island is located at a tectonic plate boundary, earthquakes are frequent, so the houses are all built to earthquake-resistant standards and can withstand ordinary small earthquakes.

However, reality is often far more absurd and outrageous than fantasy.

He turned his head again and looked out the window. In the distance, a giant, crimson beast, as red as lava, was slowly walking on the sea.

Its body is so huge that the seawater can only cover its lower half. Every step it takes can create towering waves.

It looked around, its eyes showing the bewilderment of someone just awakened, but even more so, disgust at being in the marine environment.

"Roar--"

With a roar, it shone with a light more dazzling than the sun, and then molten lava gushed from its body, flowing down its body.

But where the lava was covered, the seawater slowly solidified into land!

This miraculous scene left Qiuqiu speechless for a long time.

After a long while, until the burnt cigarette burned his lips, he was finally jolted awake by the pain, muttering, "Brothers, the big one is coming..."

Chapter 330 Dawn, Battle of Two Gods

Most residents of Liuli City were awakened by the tremor, while a small portion were awakened by the heat.

Groudon's awakening caused the sky to clear suddenly for dozens of miles around, followed by intense light that seemed to come from nowhere and possessed endless heat.

The sun radiated across the earth, and the temperature in Liuli City, which had been experiencing heavy rain for quite some time, suddenly rose. The accumulated rainwater turned into steam, turning the city into a giant steamer.

In such an environment, the residents of Liuli, who are not used to turning on the air conditioning, were naturally awakened by the heat while still half asleep.

I glanced at the sky outside the window, then at the time on my phone, and felt even more confused.

Finally, either they peeked out the window and saw the giant beast that had only existed in their imagination, or they received a push notification on their phones that Groudon had awakened in Sootopolis. Sweat broke out in their cold sweat as they finally came to their senses.

Afterwards, people either prepared to escape on flying sprites, or nervously hid in what they thought were safe corners in their rooms, while the smarter ones ran towards the sprite center.

This is the most accurate portrayal of everyone in Sootopolis and the surrounding smaller cities after Groudon awakened.

Tonight, no one sleeps.

In front of the Temple of Awakening.

Mikkuri and his group, who were cleaning up the mess left by Team Magma, were also startled by the commotion. They stared in disbelief at Groudon rising from the sea not far away, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Some comments focus on the timing of Groudon's awakening, while others focus on its enormous size.

"How could this be? The Crimson Pearl is clearly fake!"

Qianli frowned and voiced his doubts, but no one could answer them for him.

Only the bound Crimson Pine muttered to itself, "It must be that Water Wutong succeeded, it must be..."

Mikuri demanded sharply, "What do you mean by that? What connection do you have with Groudon?"

However, Crimson Flame Pine did not reply, but just muttered the same sentence to himself like a madman. Mikoli had no way to deal with him and could only give up.

Adam shrugged and said, "It's a good thing Groudon didn't actually awaken in the Temple of Awakening. With its size, it doesn't even need to do anything; it can kill or injure a lot of people just by taking a few steps."

Everyone could only manage a wry smile; this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
