Chapter 506: Shui Wu Tong and Kyogre
Staring at the suddenly appearing Dialga, Palkia, and Kyurem.
The Rocket Team Trio hurriedly rose, their expressions instantly tightening.
The Ancient Pokemon lying nearby lifted its neck, assuming a defensive stance, but when it saw Huo La on Palkia's back, its tense body slowly relaxed and it lowered its head again.
"My goodness… this Dragonite's size is absurd!" Paipa widened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the ancient beast before him, his face full of amazement.
The usually composed Xiaoyin couldn't help but open his mouth wide, unable to utter a single word.
The Space-Time Trio landed steadily, and Huo La was the first to jump down from Palkia's back, stepping toward the Rocket Team Trio.
Paipa followed closely, shifting his backpack to the front, deftly pulling out various healing medicines and wound‑tending items.
"Meow, you arrived quite quickly." Meowth was the first to speak. Huo La nodded, "Thanks to your message, we could come in time; we really have to thank you this time."
"Huo La little brat, no need to thank us, just give us some concrete reward!" Musashi immediately took the lead, "To stabilize this big guy's injuries, we emptied all the medicines we were carrying."
Huo La turned to examine the Ancient Pokemon, seeing that its wing and body wounds had stopped bleeding, yet its aura remained weak and sluggish, clearly the injuries hadn't truly improved.
He gently said to the beast, "I'll have a companion check your injuries; don't move around, just cooperate calmly." The Ancient Pokemon let out a low roar, indicating agreement.
Huo La immediately signaled Xiaoyin, Bilan, and Paipa to step forward and tend to it.
Then he looked at Musashi again, "The League will handle the payment; once we leave this island, you can go directly to Professor Oak for coordination."
Hearing this, Musashi's face showed satisfaction, and he turned and stepped aside.
Huo La then walked to Meowth, lowered his voice and asked, "Can you now tell the detailed events? How exactly did it get such severe injuries?"
"I'm not clear on the details, Meow." Meowth shook his head, then said, "But I communicated with it; it was severely wounded after battling Kyogre. The person controlling Kyogre was determined to capture it, and only this dense fog blocked the opponent's steps, allowing it to narrowly escape and hide here."
"Capture it?" Huo La felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
Now, anyone capable of controlling Kyogre, across the entire Pokemon World, is only Shui Wu Tong.
However, he didn't know which Shui Wu Tong it was.
Regardless of which Shui Wu Tong, it means this Ancient Pokemon has already been targeted.
This isolated island is shrouded in perpetual mist and hidden; if they could locate the Ancient Pokemon, then finding this island is merely a matter of time.
Huo La lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "Do you have any channels to probe the Hoenn Region's movements and related information?"
Meowth glanced sideways at him, "What, are you planning to head over to Hoenn and cause trouble again?"
Huo La's expression stiffened, instantly feeling both amused and exasperated.
Before he could reply, Meowth continued, "I can figure out some intel for you, but you must first safely get the three of us off this island."
"No problem." Huo La didn't even think, and immediately agreed.
After a few more casual words with Meowth, Huo La turned and walked toward the Ancient Pokemon lying on the ground.
Seeing its feeble breath and languid state, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Earlier, when he returned to the League to recuperate, he had deliberately inquired about this Ancient Pokemon's whereabouts, but to no avail. Even the rumored ruins housing three other Super Ancient Pokemon, he had asked around extensively.
It was only heard that the ruins had been occupied and developed by a group of unknown individuals; during that time no major incidents arose, so the League did not continue to follow up.
"Long time no see," Huo La said softly to the Ancient Pokemon.
The Ancient Pokemon let out a low roar, as a response, its voice full of fatigue.
Paipa wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to Huo La and said, "Its injuries are indeed severe, but fortunately the Rocket Team acted promptly; all wounds have been fully staunched, and with some rest it can gradually recover."
Huo La gave a slight nod, not surprised by this.
The Rocket Team Trio had survived countless perils, stumbling yet living to this day; their emergency handling skills were already masterful, and in terms of on‑the‑spot treatment, their experience was not inferior to Nurse Joy.
Not long after, Bilan and Xiaoyin, having finished their checks, returned.
Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth, seeing this, also gathered together.
"Meow, you promised to get us off earlier; can we set off now?" Meowth reminded.
"No problem, I'll send you off right now." Huo La replied, raising his hand to retrieve Palkia's Pokeball.
At that moment, a deafening whale‑like roar suddenly came from the sea surface.
The entire isolated island shook violently, the sky dimmed abruptly, and an immensely massive silhouette hovered in mid‑air, its huge body directly blocking the sunlight overhead.
"I never expected an island to be hidden in this mist, tucked away like this," a cold, hard voice said slowly, as a figure leapt down from mid‑air and landed firmly on the ground.
The newcomer wore a blue tight suit, a matching headscarf, and a thick beard, and it was Shui Wu Tong.
As Shui Wu Tong appeared, a fine drizzle began over the island, and as the raindrops fell, the silhouette in the sky also became clearer.
Kyogre!
