Chapter 201: Can't Fly, Hammer, Fathead Fish!

"Gura~"

Groudon, as soon as it came out of the Master Ball, its body began to rapidly expand, turning into an abyssal beast!

Like a small hill, it stood tall beside the beach, emitting an astonishing heat!

The beast Groudon opened its mouth, a dazzling, scorching fireball condensed within, seeming about to tear the sea apart and pierce through.

"Extreme Gigantification!"

As Mewtwo lightly tapped the mini boulder, Mewtwo's body also began to rapidly expand, reaching a height of 70 meters.

If Luozi were to see this, his mentality would probably collapse.

Compared to those two, Dan Di's Charizard Extreme Gigantification is practically a deformed Extreme Gigantification.

Heavy Stomp!

Mewtwo, from above, kicked out with yellow earth energy attached to its foot!

Bang!

Groudon cried out in pain, its body instantly kicked upward, flipping over into the seawater; the fireball it had gathered shot instantly toward the sky and even the sea level.

Illuminating the dim horizon, it ultimately struck an invisible screen,

This was Mewtwo intervening, surging psychic power blocking Groudon's harm to the surrounding natural environment.

From above,

Mewtwo took in all of Groudon's reactions.

Finding that Heavy Stomp truly hurt Groudon, he couldn't help but marvel.

The mighty Earth God, actually being restrained by the ground!?

If it weren't for Ash saying it himself, plus seeing it with his own eyes, Mewtwo would never believe it.

However,

Since we've verified that the Earth God truly fears ground-type attacks,

Doesn't that mean……

Ash's words about the Sun God fearing fire, the Moon God fearing ghosts, and such—all those complaints are actually true!?

At the same time,

Blue rings of light rose from Groudon's body.

"Gura~"

Groudon instantly let out an angry roar; here it comes again, that damn impotence aura!

As all stats decreased,

Plus Mewtwo's targeted use of Heavy Stomp and Earth Power!

One stepping from above, one pushing from below,

Directly making Groudon not want it at all.

"Gura~" I give up, I give up~

Groudon, in utter despair, begged for mercy—does the mighty Earth God have no shame?

While begging, Groudon voluntarily exited the Extreme Gigantification state.

Mewtwo also exited Extreme Gigantification.

At this point, Ash finally stepped forward, coming face-to-face with the 5-meter-tall Primal Groudon.

"Groudon, you don't want to be bullied by Kyogre, do you?"

"Gura?" What can be done?

Reality isn't a game; being slower actually makes it easier to seize the weather,

In reality, Groudon has never managed to seize the weather; maintaining just a tuft on its head is its last stubbornness.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that every time they fight, the surroundings are all sea, with only the ground beneath its feet being an overwhelming disadvantage.

"I can help you seize the weather!"

"Gura~" Really!?

"Of course it's true!"

Ash had Mewtwo help catch several Pokemon of various levels, commanding Groudon to defeat several wild Pokemon.

"Gura~" Is this enough?

Groudon looked somewhat bewildered; at the same time, Ash heard a system prompt.

【Ability Enhancement……】

【Ability】: Endland 3 (upon entry, continuously activates Endland 3, maintains sunny condition, affected only by Primordial Sea 3 and Delta Current 3; Fire- and Ground-type damage boost increased to 3x; Water- and Ice-type attacks ineffective; unlocks Geomagnetic Control)

……

Compared to the original, the three-stage Endland 3 adds a weather-lock effect; only a same-level weather hand at the three-stage can intervene.

Otherwise, neither manual rain request nor Kyogre's Primordial Sea will have any effect.

Furthermore, compared to the original which only boosted Fire, Ground is added as well.

For Groudon, whose exclusive move is the Ground-type Cliff Sword, this is definitely a major boost!

Triple-power Cliff Sword!

Even Rayquaza couldn't just casually eat it.

Furthermore, while Water-type attacks remain ineffective, Ice-type ineffectiveness is also added,

However,

After all, Primal Groudon possesses the Fire attribute, so Ice-type doesn't counter it anyway,

Compared to the earlier expansion of Ground output, this enhancement is barely better than nothing.

As for the final earth magnetic field manipulation, it truly exceeded Ash's expectations.

Could it achieve earth‑steering flight?

Ash thought of many things, but exactly how far it could go still depends on Groudon's comprehension.

Directly helping Groudon strengthen to the third stage also involves a gamble for Ash.

Most Pokemon have simple minds, even the legendary beasts alike.

Ash's wholehearted assistance is likely to win Groudon's sincere allegiance.

But the possibility that Groudon might backfire after swelling is not ruled out.

The good news is that the current Groudon is still clearly within the obedient range.

It's just unknown what choice Groudon will make once it realizes its current might.

All this content, telling it to Groudon, may not give Groudon a deep understanding.

Better let it experience its present self personally.

"It's decided, it's you, Kyogre!"

Accompanied by a burst of red light, the primordial‑reverted Kyogre, its body like a work of art, appeared on the seashore,

Origin Sea trait activated!

Activation failed!

The night sky remains clear, and the air is still filled with abundant solar particles!

Feeling the surrounding air still extremely dry, the primordial‑reverted Kyogre felt a wave of disbelief,

Its proud weather advantage gone?

Facing the hostile Groudon, with the weather not seized, Kyogre can only first activate Extreme Gigantification to boost strength.

Groudon also wanted to Extreme Gigantify again, but was swiftly stopped by Ash's quick eyes and tongue.

"Groudon, no need! In your current state you can completely seal Kyogre without Extreme Gigantification boosting your attributes!"

"Groudon~"

Groudon first showed puzzlement, but then nodded.

Deciding to try, after all legendary beasts have thick blood; they won't fight until the sky darkens,

or, like Mewtwo, drape others with a nauseating impotent aura, often making the outcome hard to decide.

"Kyogre~"

Kyogre cast a puzzled glance at Ash, has this human already tamed the 'cannot fly'? What a disgrace for a legendary beast!

The reason it's called 'cannot fly' for Groudon!

It's because Kyogre rarely interacts with humans, and its frequent opponents are Groudon and Rayquaza,

among them only Groudon cannot fly, so Kyogre named it 'cannot fly'.

As for Rayquaza, constantly being outdone by the opponent, Kyogre grew resentful,

and decided to liken it to the weakest land Pokemon, the Caterpie, whose appearance most resembles Rayquaza.

"Kyogre~" Not being able to fly is truly a disgrace, yet you submit to humans.

Those words instantly ignited all the fire in Mind, and facing the just‑Extreme‑Gigantified Kyogre, seventy meters long,

Groudon did not hesitate and delivered a finishing blow!

"Groudon Groudon~" Uh ah uh ah, taste my Cliff Sword!

Groudon roared, then forcefully stamped the ground,

A blood‑red Cliff Sword, ten times thicker, instantly burst from the ground beneath Kyogre, pierced the sea water and instantly struck the airborne Extreme‑Gigantified Kyogre.

The Kyogre that had just Extreme‑Gigantified and not yet deployed any attacks,

having never experienced such a violent impact, immediately fainted, performing a burst of Extreme‑Gigant explosion on the spot!

Boom!

Kyogre was directly knocked out of its Extreme‑Gigantified state…
