Chapter 164: Capture Groudon! The Giant Stone is in Hand!

Like Yveltal, Ash decided to capture this Kyogre and give it a little training.

After all, the current sea-and-land layout is already fixed,

no further expansion is needed,

Plus, Lugia has already taken care of the work at sea,

If it's just sleeping, there's not much difference between sleeping in the sea and sleeping in Ash's Poké Ball.

By capturing it, Ash can actually prevent Kyogre from going berserk.

Besides these righteous thoughts,

As a transmigrator, who could resist a mighty, cute, fat-headed fish that can unleash a tailwind water blast to destroy heaven and earth?

Influenced by the game,

Ash is quite fond of the Hoenn Trio that dominates the battle environment.

He picked up a Master Ball,

Seeing the Kyogre belly-up inside the Master Ball's purple-glass-like shell, Ash's lips curled up.

"Stay in there; when I have time I'll train you properly."

Having said that, he put the Master Ball containing Kyogre into his spatial backpack.

After the dark aura dissipated, the livestream viewers regained their sight and saw that Kyogre's silhouette was already gone from the sea surface.

Yveltal also, under Ash's command, went to support Ho-Oh.

Once again, following the same method,

Ambush!

In the darkness, Ash threw another Master Ball, capturing Groudon.

He placed it into the spatial backpack.

During this period,

Ho-Oh's ability also, due to Ash's deliberate gaze, plus the attack reaching the spectating Flying-type Pokémon,

reached the second stage of enhancement.

【Trait】: Oppression 2 (gives the opponent a sense of oppression, small chance to make the enemy flinch; each minute reduces all opponent stats by 1)

Same trait as Mewtwo,

Although its efficiency is six times lower than the third stage, the legendary beast has plenty of HP and can endure.

For Ho-Oh,

As a thank-you gift, it's definitely a big surprise.

With Oppression 2, letting Ho-Oh face off against many legendary beasts one-on-one would surely place it among the top!

Therefore,

After feeling the strength of the enhanced Oppression 2 trait.

Learning from Ash about the origin of the enhancement opportunity,

Feeling that Ho-Oh was getting an unequal deal, it immediately frowned.

It came to help, not to take advantage.

Thinking this, Ho-Oh's body suddenly ignited with rainbow flames; though alarming, Cynthia was unharmed.

But in Ash's palm, two shining rainbow feathers suddenly appeared.

【Item】 Source Rainbow Feather (derived from Ho-Oh's primal essence; consuming it helps Fire/Flying Pokémon break limits and enter the legendary tier)

After giving out two Source Rainbow Feather in succession, Ho-Oh's majestic aura was instantly affected, its flight movements becoming much stiffer, appearing somewhat unsteady.

Yet Ho-Oh remained very excited.

The lost life essence can recover after a few years, but the boost from trait enhancement is permanent.

After all, it still profited,

If its body still supported creating the primal rainbow feathers, Ho-Oh would plan to keep giving Ash a few more.

Not now, but it will make up for it later.

Except for a few Pokémon that accepted evil thoughts, the vast majority of Pokémon, even legendary ones, are simply pure-hearted beings who know gratitude.

Ash was also deeply moved,

"Thank you, Ho-Oh; rest now, the remaining battle can be handled by Yveltal and Mewtwo."

Having said that, Ash then commanded Yveltal to fly up high.

Mega Rayquaza, already being chased and attacked by Mewtwo, naturally didn't want to linger in battle when another opponent appeared.

Using Extreme Speed, its body turned into a stream of light, swiftly flying up into the sky and disappearing.

Seeing Mega Rayquaza off, Ash stopped the plan of having Mewtwo and Yveltal give chase.

After all, compared to the lazy Kyogre and Groudon,

Rayquaza is hard to catch, and more importantly, it constantly bears the duty of sky guardian, so it cannot be captured.

Moreover, aside from those reasons, more importantly, compared to ordinary Rayquaza, Ash is more interested in the black Rayquaza from the Hoopa movie.

……

Meanwhile,

The internet has already exploded, even though no one actually saw Ash capture Kyogre and Groudon.

But such huge Pokémon can't just be said to have vanished.

Kyogre is still plausible; one could barely claim it dove into the seawater and fled like Rayquaza.

But Groudon literally has the ground beneath its feet!

Therefore,

Many people kept guessing, perhaps Kyogre had already fled, but Groudon was definitely captured by Ash.

It also made everyone feel an itch in their Heart, they wanted to find out what was going on with Ho-Oh, Yveltal, Latias, and Serena.

Ash had Latias, they knew.

Could it really be as everyone guessed, with Serena included, each being captured by Cynthia and Ash?

At the same time, everyone's thoughts were flying wildly, their hearts unsettled.

Fuladali's inner feelings were also tense to the extreme.

Because he was now remotely directing the Magma Squad members to drive the submarine to the scene, preparing to snatch the boulder and flee.

After witnessing Ash's strength,

Fuladali already knew the huge risk of the operation failing, but he hadn't yet prepared himself to accept it.

"Now!"

Underwater, a clean-looking black submarine full of futuristic feel surfaced, its hatch opened, and a constriction net shot out straight toward the boulder.

The huge energy constriction net quickly approached the boulder in the camera view.

"Did it succeed?"

Fuladali held his breath,

The constriction net carrying Fuladali's hopes, upon reaching below the boulder and unfolding, seemed to hit an invisible wall of endless air out of nowhere.

Clearly within reach, yet utterly unattainable.

"No!"

Fuladali's whole face froze, his entire person instantly becoming utterly listless.

Fuladali being like that, the subordinates beside him who had been ready did not also freeze; they decisively entered a series of commands on the notebook in front of them.

They remotely destroyed all information related to Fuladali's research institute in the submarine.

……

Scene

With the help of Ash and Mewtwo,

The Johto police captured these Magma Squad members.

Although no past crimes could be found, their very attempt to seize the boulder was already enough to warrant a sentence.

After all, laws are man-made, especially in a world like Pokémon where the strong set the rules.

At the same time, someone will later interrogate them, investigating the mastermind behind the scenes.

Ash did not pay much attention to how the Magma Squad members would be dealt with.

His focus was on the boulder.

With the groundwork laid beforehand, and with Da Wu having personally experienced the danger the boulder brought, it was natural for him to voluntarily hand over the boulder.

And it was to be paid as compensation, rather than being kept by Ash, which is a significant difference.

As for further research on the boulder, Da Wu was naturally unwilling to let it go.

Ash, on the other hand, did not refuse; for him, getting hold of the boulder was the main goal,

Who helped him research it didn't make much difference.

Of course, Ash would not blindly trust just anyone; he decided to entrust the boulder's research simultaneously to Da Wu's Zifuoqi Group, Doctor Damu, and Bulatano for study.

Meanwhile, he prepared to use the Mega Evolution energy in the boulder to produce a batch of Shiny Stones.

Furthermore, having witnessed Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza's autonomous Extreme Gigantification displays, Ash also wanted to know whether the boulder still contained Extreme Gigantification energy.

In theory, a doctor from Galar could also be invited to join,

However, if the boulder could indeed serve as a mobile Extreme Gigantification supply point, it would inevitably affect the plan of Galar League President Loz to revive Galar's glory,

It would easily cause that hidden villain to set his sights on the boulder.

Ash currently has many things on his plate,

For example, needing to find time to complete the bonding with Kyogre and Groudon, also using Ben's Rainbow Feather to strengthen Charizard and Blaziken, how to specifically place the boulder, continuing the journey, etc…… he has no time to deal with him,

Therefore, Ash plans to temporarily slow down research on Extreme Gigantification.
