Chapter 508: Shui Wu Tong

The primal Kyogre brings absolute dominion over the ocean.

The torrential rain is no longer ordinary drizzle, but countless high‑pressure water blades spinning at rapid speed; the entire sea surges wildly, waves crashing onto the island's shore, cliffs constantly eroded and shattered, and the world is filled with brutal Water-type primal power.

In contrast, Origin Palkia glitters with silver radiance, its layers of spatial domains spreading outward.

Rain that hits the domain's boundary is instantly sliced by space into countless fine water mists, and the raging water pressure cannot approach even a half step.

One side commands the ocean, the other controls space; the two diametrically opposite top‑tier forces stand locked in deadlock above the canyon.

Shui Wu Tong's gaze sharpens, and a cold shout rings through the rain: "Kyogre, Origin Pulse!"

The primal Kyogre opens its massive maw, the intensely azure primal water streams converging wildly, coalescing into a surging, boiling energy sphere; the sphere erupts suddenly, shooting countless cyan‑white, dazzling beams.

This is the exclusive technique of the Super Ancient Sea God, harnessing the whole ocean's potential energy without any flourish, crushing straight toward Palkia.

"Draco Meteor!"

Huo La calmly issues the order, his voice steady and powerful.

Origin Palkia's wings tremble, countless meteors materialize out of thin air, bearing blazing tails, and plunge toward the primal Kyogre.

Boom—!

Origin Pulse collides head‑on with Draco Meteor!

A blinding burst of energy light instantly blankets the entire island, and the thunderous roar makes everyone's eardrums buzz.

The splashing energy aftershocks sweep the canyon, the ground's massive stones shatter with a boom, surrounding towering ancient trees are cut cleanly at the waist, and shattered wood mixes with water mist in a wildly violent scene.

Shui Wu Tong's expression grows darker, clearly not expecting that the Kyogre, having triggered its primal regression, still cannot swiftly suppress the opponent.

"It does have some skill," he growls through clenched teeth. "Since ranged clashes are useless, crush it up close! Kyogre, Heavy Slam!"

The primal Kyogre's massive body suddenly leaps into the air, its entire form brimming with Water-type energy, layers of heavy water pressure enveloping its surface, bearing a force of ten thousand tons, like a moving colossal mountain, charging straight at Palkia.

"Close Combat? Right on target," Huo La's eyes flash with certainty as he loudly commands, "Palkia, self‑suggest, Heavy Slam!"

Origin Palkia's surrounding spatial light swirls, its state instantly adjusts to peak, and it strides forward, charging straight at the opponent.

Two equally towering figures collide head‑on without any flourish.

Boom—! A earth‑shaking roar reverberates through heaven and earth, and the violent energy shock wave detonates outward from the point of impact.

The two forces lock in a dead‑heat.

They grapple for a moment, neither managing to fully suppress the other.

Kyogre's massive body trembles slightly, emitting a muted low growl; the blue light patterns on its surface become noticeably chaotic, clearly having taken a hit in the hard‑clash.

Shui Wu Tong's pupils contract sharply, his face full of disbelief.

After its primal regression, Kyogre is normally an almost invincible presence in the waters, yet even after unleashing a full‑force Heavy Slam, it failed to crush the opponent in one blow and even fell at a disadvantage.

His peripheral glance catches the weakened Super Ancient Dragonite nearby, and he also surveys Huo La's party standing in strict formation; Shui Wu Tong's thoughts race.

Today's objective was to capture this ancient Dragonite; now the plan is exposed, and a rival of comparable strength appears, making continued entanglement meaningless.

"Consider yourselves lucky," Shui Wu Tong says coldly, dropping a harsh remark.

He raises his hand and, in a deep voice to Kyogre, commands, "Retreat into the water; we're leaving!"

The primal Kyogre understands instantly, its massive body sharply turning, leaping, and plunging deep into the sea surrounding the island.

The surging sea instantly engulfs its figure, the raging water pressure above gradually subsides, and the violent rain lessens.

Shui Wu Tong follows closely, using the water's cover; his form flickers and vanishes beneath the endless sea, leaving only rippling waves.

As the sea surface fully calms, the violent water pressure and storm that battered the island gradually subside.

Huo La gazes at the sea where Shui Wu Tong and Kyogre vanished, exhaling a long breath of pent‑up foul air; his tense body finally relaxes completely.

Bilan, Xiaoyin and Paipa step forward quickly, their faces full of concern as they ask, "Are you okay, Huo La?"

"I'm fine," Huo La shakes his head lightly, a hint of gravity in his eyes, "I have to say, Shui Wu Tong's power is immense, and his battle experience is terrifyingly seasoned; he's hard to grapple with."

"Then why did he run away?" Paipa asks.

"No, he didn't run away; he just felt his goal couldn't be achieved, and rather than keep fighting—risking us entangling him and being counter‑killed—timely retreat is the safest choice," Xiaoyin says.

Huo La hears this, nods, and says, "Xiaoyin is right. We all know his trump card isn't just a primal Kyogre, but he also knows I have more than one Divine Beast besides Palkia."

"If the fight goes all the way to the end, he may not win and could end up in danger. Since his goal failed, decisively abandoning the field is his best option," he adds.

Bilan and Paipa, hearing this, suddenly understand and nod in agreement.

At that moment, the Rocket Team Trio hurriedly gathered as well.

Meow Meow flicks his tail repeatedly, a terrified look on his face: "Meow, this place is too dangerous, take us back quickly, meow."

Kojiro follows, nodding in agreement, his face eager.

Musashi, though silent, has urgent eyes, clearly not wanting to stay another moment on this perilous island.

"Alright."

Huo La, without hesitation, raises his hand to signal the nearby Palkia, and in a deep voice commands, "Palkia, activate spatial coordinates, target League Headquarters!"

Palkia lets out a high‑pitched roar, its surrounding spatial power instantly surging and spreading.

The space rift slowly expands, and a stable, direct Space‑Time Gate to League Headquarters bursts open.

Huo La looks at the Rocket Team Trio before him, earnestly reminding, "Go in. Don't forget the intel you promised me, and also report what just happened here to Professor Oak."
