Chapter 202
As Kyogre fainted, exposing its white belly, Ash immediately walked up and gave it two rubs.
This is the belly of the sea god; such a chance to touch it must not be missed.
At the same time,
Groudon, which had expected a fierce battle, saw this clean and swift end to the fight and was instantly dumbfounded.
Why is today's Fat Head Fish so weak?
But soon,
As Mewtwo again used its pressure to suppress Groudon, Groudon found that its attacks could still hold their own against Mewtwo.
Finally, it realized,
It wasn't that the Fat Head Fish had weakened, but that it itself had grown stronger.
Its heart was filled with joy.
Taking advantage of Groudon's good mood, Ash roughly explained the enhancement of the End Ground.
After hearing that it was immune to Water- and Ice-type attacks,
Groudon immediately decided to give it a try.
When the "Fat Head Fish" woke up, Groudon immediately turned its head, stuck out its rear, and swayed.
Angered, Kyogre without hesitation unleashed Ice-type Absolute Zero, intending to freeze the "non-flying" into an ice cube to vent its anger.
However, the Absolute Zero that used to effectively damage Groudon,
today lost all effect.
The non-flying kept pointing its rear at itself, and Kyogre's Heart was furious!
"Kyogre~" I'm going all out against you~
Kyogre's body suddenly burst with a large amount of white light, and with astonishing momentum it charged at the "non-flying" to attack.
A fierce crash!
While knocking Groudon over into the seawater, Kyogre's tail flashed with a large amount of earth-yellow light,
using the tail to launch a heavy stomp, it whipped Groudon's face.
With a slap!
Groudon was instantly dazed by that blow, and immediately flew into a rage!
Fire blast!
The flames from its mouth were like world-ending light arrows, dyeing the heavens and earth a blazing red, shooting straight at the Primal Reversion Kyogre.
Boom!
With the triple damage bonus from End Ground 3, the scorching flames instantly dealt considerable damage to Kyogre, which had not activated its Ability.
Amidst the flames, Kyogre resembled a grilled salted fish, appearing especially weak, and soon the air was filled with the smell of roasted fish.
In Kyogre's eyes, tears faintly welled up,
over the years, when had it ever suffered such injustice?
But the tears had just appeared when, in the next instant, they were evaporated by the fierce flames, vanishing without a trace.
Knowing it could not win,
Kyogre voluntarily flew toward Ash and slammed its head into the Master Ball's switch, sucking itself inside.
The flames from Groudon's mouth also followed along,
just before the flames would reach Ash and before Mewtwo could act, Groudon ceased its output.
It walked over, raised its forelimb, and patted Ash on the shoulder.
Feeling the astonishing heat and tremendous force on his shoulder, Ash's mouth twitched—this was just him.
If it were anyone else, they'd probably be slapped into a meat patty by this idiot.
Annoyed, Ash slapped away Groudon's red big hand and lifted Kyogre's Master Ball.
Through the violet glass shell, he saw Kyogre inside using a water current to heal its wounds and scorched skin,
so Ash did not summon it out, letting the Latias that had followed the two girls away return for treatment.
However,
what Ash didn't notice was that, when he put the Master Ball back on his waist, Kyogre did not fall asleep as usual,
but instead pricked up its ears, intending to eavesdrop,
to find out how the "non-flying" had become so strong, so it could later take fierce revenge!
At this moment,
Ash also spoke up.
"I've already enhanced your Ability and given you the power to defeat Kyogre; now you should be willing to accept me as your Trainer, right?"
"Groo~"
Groudon narrowed its eyes and nodded,
At that moment, a Pelipper flew by in the sky; Groudon, which disliked flying creatures, narrowed its eyes and directly struck the Pelipper with a Cliff Edge!
Bang!
The Pelipper was instantly killed, fainted in an instant, and its body was blasted away like a cannonball!
Ash pondered,
"After the enhancement, you should have also mastered a new ability called Earth Magnetic Field Control; try to see if you can levitate a piece of stone or dirt into the sky."
"Groo?"
Groudon stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "There's such a thing?"
Besides the astonishment, Groudon began excitedly trying it out,
Soon!
As Groudon felt a stirring, the sand beneath its feet quickly solidified, coalescing into a whole!
Groudon stepped on the sand, and the sand gradually rose into the air.
At first it was a bit shaky,
But as time passed, Groudon's control over the earth's magnetic field became increasingly adept,
Stepping on the stone slab, it was like a grim reaper elementary student on a skateboard,
Sometimes soaring to the heavens, sometimes diving into the sea, at times flying through the air, at times surfing a tsunami,
It was having a blast,
During this process, Groudon again saw other flying Pokemon, and its initial hostility faded.
It wore a kind expression.
But this kind smile, seen in the eyes of the gull flock, was actually somewhat frightening.
One by one they trembled, seeking nearby ground to land on.
They looked bewildered at the flying Groudon in the air, showing a doubtful expression.
Battle Flying Bird: "……" Is this reasonable?
Ash gave Groudon a suggestion, such as changing the sand beneath its feet to blood-red, making it look like a domineering cliff sword,
Furthermore, forge the cliff sword into a cooler sword shape, to wield sword flight!
As Ash pulled out a tablet and played a video for Groudon to see.
Groudon indeed followed the video's demon sword image, condensing a blood-red giant sword brimming with even more demonic aura than the one in the drama!
Wielding the freshly forged blood-red demon sword,
Groudon flew into the sky again, this time enjoying itself even more.
However, the populace of the surrounding towns, seeing Groudon sword-flying, became unsettled.
One by one they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
Could they really not have been mistaken?
One of the protagonists in the Legendary Beast Battle of Canaz City, the Earth God is flying in the sky!?
Moreover, why does the Earth God appear in Kalos? Could it be that their duke has truly subdued the Earth God!?
That evening,
The video of Groudon sword-flying was directly uploaded to the internet.
For a moment, the previously calm internet exploded again.
More and more people began seeking Ash, wanting to take photos with the Legendary Pokemon.
Xiao Mao, whom Ash had arranged to help watch the clothing factory, keenly sensed a business opportunity.
He directly launched on social media the classic outfits of Ash and friends, with Ash's outfits being the most numerous—six sets from Kanto to Kalos!
Additionally, purchasing the full set of six Ash outfits also yields a Groudon sword-flying figurine.
Soon, many people flooded into Xiao Mao's social media comment section.
They inquired about the reason for giving away the Groudon figurine, asking whether Ash had truly subdued Groudon—what about Kyogre?
In response, Xiao Mao did not reply.
Yet the less he replied, the more people felt an itch in their hearts,
Even though most people had concluded that Ash should have captured Groudon, they still wanted a more accurate answer from those associated with Ash.
As public opinion grew, clothing orders began to surge.
Ash was unaware of these matters.
Now he is busy dealing with the fiery-passionate Sea God Kyogre before him.
Because Groudon had run far away and was not present,
Kyogre, which had been secretly observing, decisively raided the house, first imitating Tom by sticking out its tongue and licking Ash all over.
Next came Lu Bu come to life!
"Gaia Gaia~" If you do not disdain, I wish to become your adopted son, henceforth I will surely protect you fully!
Although the words are not exactly the same, the meaning they contain is roughly this.
Moreover, Kyogre also especially declared,
Having gained power, it will certainly not vanish like Groudon did.
With both a green-tea and a flirtatious demeanor, it has it firmly under control.
