Chapter 306: The controlled Shui Wutong, awaken Groudon!

Besides dealing with Ash, the Team Rocket Trio can do anything; even the Magma Team and Aqua Team of the Johto Region can't do anything to them.

Meanwhile, the meeting between the Magma Team and Aqua Team on the other side failed, and Shui Wutong arranged his own people to infiltrate the Magma Team and release Kyogre.

Kyogre's massive body was like a moving sea fortress, continuously advancing toward their direction; layer upon layer of waves seemed to be pushed by an invisible big hand, surging and rolling without cease, wave after wave fiercely crashing toward the shore.

As Kyogre gradually approached, the whole island seemed to be shrouded in its mighty aura; the originally clear sky instantly filled with dark clouds, and large raindrops poured down like a torrential downpour. Raindrops hit the ground, sending up layers of spray.

"You Magma Team will always be defeated by us; the ocean is the future's main battlefield!"

Shui Wutong stood on the waves, his eyes flashing with frenzied light, facing the wind and rain, shouting hoarsely.

The red orb in his hand, under the rain's washing, glowed ever more eerily; Shui Wutong was indeed using it to control Kyogre.

The members of the Magma Team were unwilling to accept defeat; facing such a legendary Pokémon, they had to go all out. The released hounds howled, releasing more than ten Shadow Balls, trying to withstand Kyogre's mountain‑moving, sea‑overwhelming assault.

More than ten Shadow Balls shot out simultaneously from the mouths of the Magma Team's hounds, violently slamming into the waves kicked up by Kyogre.

The Shadow Balls collided with the waves, producing a violent explosion sound, barely holding back the waves' advance.

"Kyogre, hurry up and finish them off!"

At this moment, Shui Wutong looked down on the Magma Team's crowd, his face full of pride and contempt. The Kyogre he controlled was extraordinarily fierce; an ordinary Pokémon posed no threat to it at all.

Kyogre indiscriminately unleashed a Solar Beam; the Magma Team's hounds had no time to dodge, each one losing its combat ability and collapsing to the ground.

The strength gap between the two sides was too huge; not a single hound could withstand Kyogre's attack. The battlefield was filled with a sense of despair, and the Magma Team members' faces showed fear and helplessness.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt."

"Dragonite, 100,000 Volts!"

Pikachu stood on Ash's shoulder, leapt high, and golden crackling currents flashed around it.

Golden currents also flickered in the dark clouds; with a boom, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the heavens and slammed heavily onto Kyogre's body.

Dragonite gathered dazzling lightning in its mouth; that lightning resonated with Pikachu's electricity, forming a more violent thunderstorm that crashed down on Kyogre.

The two lightning bolts struck Kyogre simultaneously; the golden‑yellow current instantly engulfed its massive body. Kyogre let out a roar, its body tumbling in the waves, sending up even more violent surges toward the shore.

Everyone looked over; it was those few people who had just ruined their plan.

Adu and a bunch of little devils…… seeing them approach, the Magma Team members seemed to see a glimmer of hope; they weren't looking at Ash or Adu, but at the blue orb that had been snatched away. Chiyan Song wasn't hoping Ash and company would come to rescue; he was thinking that the blue orb was on them, and since they had arrived, they could seize the opportunity to take it back, thereby controlling Groudon to oppose Kyogre.

"Shui Wutong, quickly throw away the red orb, or you'll be possessed by it."

Adu landed beside the Magma Team.

"Where's the blue orb? Hand it over quickly!" Chiyan Song shouted.

Groudon is right here; it truly needs the blue orb to awaken, otherwise it really can't withstand that Kyogre.

"I won't hand it over!"

Adu shook his head: "The orb controls its holder; the more evil the possessed person, the harder it is to control the Ancient Pokemon that feeds on it. That's why the two orbs were sealed—to prevent evil people from using them to do bad deeds."

Chiyan Song didn't believe it, and also didn't want to believe.

"Think about it yourselves!"

Adu went first to block Shui Wutong.

Shui Wutong stood on Kyogre's head, holding the red orb, and commanded Kyogre to attack Adu.

Gyarados used Water Cannon, Dragonite used Hyper Beam, Charizard used Big Blast, and Seadra used Water Cannon; each unleashed their strongest long‑range move, and the various powerful energies collided and intertwined.

Kyogre's Hyper Beam instantly collided with the attacks of the four Pokémon, producing a violent energy surge; it merely managed to stalemate against Kyogre's own Hyper Beam.

During the battle, the red orb likewise burrowed into Shui Wutong's body; his body began to tremble violently, a strange blue‑glowing stripe appeared on his skin, and his mind grew muddled.

He began to frenziedly launch attacks; his targets were no longer limited to Adu, and even his own subordinates could not escape.

"You all hide first; I still have things to do."

Guided by the blue orb, Ash had to go awaken Groudon: "Pikachu, Marill, you stay here! The battle between Ancient Pokemon must be settled by them themselves!"

"Be careful."

Misty also had no choice; this kind of battle wasn't something they could intervene in, so she could only watch from behind, look after herself, and help if needed.

Walking toward Groudon's location, red patterns appeared on Ash's body.

He clearly felt a strange emanation flowing from those patterns, forming a subtle connection with the direction where Groudon lay.

"You little brat, how did you come here?"

The Team Rocket Trio saw Ash walking over, their gaze fell on him, and the strange patterns gave off a sense of oppression.

Ash paid them no notice, stepping closer to Groudon step by step; the red patterns on his body grew ever more bizarre, the light flashing faster and faster, a wave of multifaceted energy emanating from around him spread outward like ripples.

Boom—!

The slumbering Groudon suddenly opened its eyes.
