Chapter 257: Fathead fish, can’t fly, and the flying green caterpillar that will be summoned
In Inu City, all the gym leaders of the Hoenn Alliance, the kings, the champion Mikoli, the best master in the region, and other core members gathered here.

And because the Quartz Arena was still under reconstruction, the protagonists who had no choice but to choose Hoenn Saiyuu Tournament as their first regional league also happened to gather here.

Among them are Xiaozhi, Xiaomao, Jin, Ruby, Safiya and others.

“you!?”

Everything else was fine, but Ruby and Shafiya subconsciously used the Great Wilderness Prisoner’s Sky Finger on each other as soon as they met.

“I have already obtained 7 badges. As long as I defeat the gym trainer Naqi of the Inyu Gym, I will be qualified to challenge the Caiyou Tournament.”

Ajin asked with a smug look on his face.

“That’s because I spent all my time on special training, otherwise I would have collected all 8 badges.”

Xiaozhi said stubbornly.

He has only obtained 5 badges so far, the least among the three.

Ajin and Xiaomao raised their middle fingers at the same time.

“What happened that brought so many people together, Mr. Daigo?”

Noticing the gym trainers who entered the Inyu Gym one after another, Ajin asked curiously.

Xiao Mao took a quick look and said, “It seems that Team Rocket is causing trouble again. We are discussing how to deal with them.”

“I know I know!”

Xiaozhi, who finally found the initiative in the topic, couldn’t wait to describe to the two what happened at the Inyu City Carnival some time ago.

Seeing the smug look on her face, Xiao Mao couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you beat? Sister Xiao Lan? Or that Mary?”

“No, that wasn’t the case. At that time, the member of the Magma Team suddenly hugged a mutant woman from the Rocket Team and started crying. Then they left without fighting…”

Xiaozhi talked a lot of nonsense, and Xiaomao and Ajin were confused.

The Magma Team cried when they saw the Rocket Team? And the woman with a mutated left hand and left foot?

What is all this mess?

“That is to say, you didn’t fight with the other party, right?”

Xiao Mao asked after a moment of silence.

“No, no, didn’t I tell you that they left halfway?”

Xiaozhi pursed his lips.

Xiao Mao and A Jin said “Tsk!” at the same time, with disdain on their faces.

Why is it so great if I didn’t hit you?

Just when Ajin was wondering whether he should sneak into Yinyu Gym to listen to what those people were talking about, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out from behind.

The Kanto trio turned their heads to look.

I saw the two from Hoenn starting to quarrel for some unknown reason.

……

……

At the meeting where the president of the Hoenn Alliance and the richest man in Hoenn, Zifuchi Hibiscus, were present, the two of them recounted the [Rayquaza Capture Plan] they had planned six years ago to the Hoenn elites and foreign aid such as Dantei present.

By seeing Xijiana’s current appearance at the previous Yinyu Carnival, and then seeing what Mary and Xijiana said when they were sending the gods to the mountain together.

Zifuchi Hibiscus and President Hoenn have already sorted out the whole context of the matter very clearly.

The atmosphere at the scene was dead silent. Whether it was the young gym leaders like Yasha and the Nanfeng twins, or the veteran elites like Genji and Adam, they all looked at their own president and the richest man with shocked eyes.

I can’t believe they could do such a thing.

It’s fine that they’re trying to capture Rayquaza by means of a gang fight, but the one they’re capturing already has an owner?

Not only that, you also killed him?!

“That is to say, when President Hibiscus took Rayquaza away, the Rayquaza trainer named ‘Shiokaana’ did not die, but was rescued by Team Rocket. Now they are here to seek revenge, is that what you mean?”

Finally, it was the outsider, Dan Di, who spoke up to break the silence.

“That Xi Jiana called Xi Jiana ‘sister’, no wonder she was so hostile to me in Caiyou City before…”

Daigo smiled bitterly.

Mikoli licked his dry lips. “It’s hard to say whether they intend to take revenge, but based on the information we have so far, their current goal is to help Shioka get back Rayquaza.”

Naqi, the gym manager, frowned and said, “Rayquaza is originally Shioka’s Pokémon. If she were an ordinary trainer, I wouldn’t have any objection to her taking back her Pokémon, but she is now a member of Team Rocket. If she succeeds, it means Team Rocket will have the Sky Dragon. Everyone, what do you think we should do about this matter?”

The atmosphere fell silent for a second time.

Indeed, the alliance is in the wrong in this matter both morally and logically.

Rayquaza originally belonged to Shiona, so there’s nothing wrong with her wanting to take it back now.

But she is now a member of Team Rocket, and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Team Rocket’s power is already becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and with the addition of a Rayquaza… Damn!
Not to mention the alliance’s existence, this is probably the strongest criminal organization Arceus has ever created in the world.

“…I will bear the blame for this.”

Zvoci Hibiscus suddenly spoke.

……

……

In the meeting room of the new Pokémon League headquarters on the artificial island of Alola Manalo.

As the new president of the alliance, Lusamine handed a document to Su Sheng and asked, “Ah Sheng, how do you think we should deal with this matter?”

The content of the file is the solution given by the Hoenn Alliance for the Shijiana incident.

The Hoenn side plans to have the Hoenn Guildmaster and Zifuchi Hibiscus hold an apology press conference to announce the truth about the capture of Rayquaza that year, in exchange for the forgiveness of the sisters Shioka and Shigana.

When Su Sheng saw this plan, he immediately gave the old man a look of dismay.

In the original comic, Zvoci Hibiscus did indeed rely on this trick to make Shijiana give up her revenge plan, and of course, the protagonists’ verbal persuasion also helped.

It sounds ridiculous, but it was successful.

But here is the reality.

Given Xi Jiana’s current stupid behavior, Su Sheng didn’t think she would be successfully defeated by his verbal attack.

And don’t forget, the current president of the alliance is Lusamine, not Damaranchi.

Such a shocking scandal was exposed.

This will definitely affect Lusamine’s position as the general president.

At this time, Su Sheng’s phone rang.

It was Xiaolan who called and said that Sakaki wanted to discuss something with him.

Su Sheng put down the documents, told Lusamine “Tell those idiots not to act rashly”, then released Hoopa to open the door and come to the Rocket Team base.

As soon as he passed through the portal, Su Sheng saw Sakaki in the red temperature state.

“What happened, uncle? Why are you so angry?”

Su Sheng asked curiously. Xiao Lan handed a newspaper to Su Sheng.

This is the Golden Economic Newspaper with the largest circulation in the Kanto region.

The front page features Silver in a police uniform, and the content reads: “No matter your origin! Silver, son of Team Rocket leader Sakaki, has officially inherited the will of his mentor, Champion Watari, and has become the youngest investigator in the history of the Pokémon League!”

Su Sheng blinked twice.

Finally we have come to this point.

In the original work, Xiaoyin said that he would bring Team Rocket to justice personally, but now because he was adopted by Yulongdu for a year, he was deeply influenced by him and even became an investigator.

No wonder Sakaki was so angry.

“Uncle Sakaki hasn’t given up on making Xiaoyin his successor.”

Xiao Lan leaned close to Su Sheng’s ear and whispered.

Su Sheng pondered for a moment, then said: “Uncle, I have a way, although the price is a bit high…”

……

……

A few hours later, at Hoenn Indigo Gym.

All the museum owners and superstars were still sitting in their chairs, waiting for a reply from the headquarters.

After Zifuchi Hibiscus proposed holding a press conference to apologize, the Hoenn trainers present were divided into two factions.

Young trainers such as Asha, Nan, Feng, and Furong are in favor and believe that one should admit one’s mistakes.

However, middle-aged and elderly trainers such as Genji, Chisato, and Adam are in opposition and feel that there is no point in revealing the truth.

The two sides were deadlocked and finally decided to let the headquarters decide the matter.

“Asheng said that if we keep this a secret, even if my father and the president apologize publicly, it won’t change anything. What we need to do now is to do our best to stop Shioka from taking back Rayquaza.”

Daigo sighed after receiving Su Sheng’s reply.

“Why is Dr. Su Sheng——”

Yasha’s eyes widened, unable to believe that her idol actually agreed with this practice of concealing the truth.

“that’s right.”

Qianli, the strongest gym leader in Hoenn, crossed his arms over his chest and said seriously, “Let’s not talk about whether the sisters will accept our apology. Even if we make the incident public, it won’t change anything. On the contrary, it will cause the reputation of the Elf Alliance, which has just returned to the right track, to plummet.”

As the saying goes, only children care about right and wrong, while adults only care about the pros and cons.

Qianli and these old-timers can see it very clearly.

What will happen if you reveal the truth at this time?

Not to mention whether the other party accepts your apology, even if they do, won’t Xijiana and the others go looking for Rayquaza?
Will Rayquaza not be a fighting force for Team Rocket?

And don’t forget how much damage Carlos and the Quartz Alliance’s credibility suffered when Vladali and Sakaki’s undercover identities were exposed.

It hasn’t even been two years yet, and if it were to be revealed at this time that the Hoenn Guild President and Zifuchi Hibiscus had also done such shameful things.

Does the Hoenn Alliance still have face?
“It’s despicable, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Adam twirled his beard and sighed, “Everyone, get ready, and then…”

Before Adam finished the second half of his words, everyone suddenly felt a sharp vibration under their feet.

Jin and Xiaozhi, who were eavesdropping at the gym entrance, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Xiao Mao grabbed the door handle in time and managed to stabilize himself, shouting, “Fa, what happened?”

“This, what exactly is this…”

Ruby, an emo girl who had just had a fight with Safiya, was sitting under a tree and staring blankly into the sky.

The sky of the entire Yinyu City seemed to be split into two.

On the left, the scorching sun shines down, the dazzling sunlight makes it almost impossible to open your eyes, and the vegetation on the ground feels like it is on fire.

The right side was the exact opposite, with dense dark clouds and torrential rain covering half of the city.

Completely opposite scenes happened in the same place.

The only similarity was that both sides were screaming in fear and the wild Pokémon were running around like headless flies.

At this time, the phone of the president of Hoenn guild in the gym rang.

As soon as the call was connected, the subordinates’ heart-wrenching cries came from the other end of the line, “President! It’s bad! Groudon has awakened!”

Before he could recover, a second call came in, and the message was like a copy and paste: “President! It’s bad! Kyogre is awake!”

……

“Woo-“

A low cry that seemed to come from ancient times came from two completely opposite locations, the northwest land of Hoenn and the southeast seabed.

These two areas are called “Land Cave” and “Sea Cave”, which are where Groudon and Kyogre awaken.

In front of the entrance of Lu Cave, as Mary and Xiao Lan watched, a huge red beast was walking out of the lava.

“It’s a little different from the way it looked during the Battle of Miare two years ago.”

Azure, who had just awakened it with the vermilion orb, said curiously.

Compared to the state when Groudon was forcibly summoned by the liberated Hoopa during the war of gods in Miare City two years ago, the current state of Groudon is even more ferocious and terrifying.

Not only is its body more than half as big, the seams between its skin are also flashing orange and yellow like flowing magma, and the huge “Ω” logo on the back of its hand is particularly eye-catching!
Original Groudon!
“Roar!!”

Primal Groudon roared loudly, and its dangerous eyes stared straight to the southeast.

He felt it. He felt it.

The breath of that damn puffer fish!
Feeling the vibration in his pants, Xiaolan took out his cell phone. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Xijiana’s voice on the other end of the line, “Have you woke up Groudon?”

“Well, to be honest, he has a bad temper. He tried to attack me and Mary when he just woke up. Luckily we ran away quickly.”

Only by facing the legends in person can one feel their horror. Bilan couldn’t even imagine how Su Sheng felt when he faced so many mythical beasts over the past two years.

“Hey, we’ve woken up Kyogre, and next I plan to go to the Sky Pillar with my sister to perform the ritual to summon Rayquaza. Do you want to come with us?”

Xijiana’s tone showed full of anticipation.

She had waited one day too long.

Xiao Lan looked at the back of the god who turned the sea into dry land with every step he took, and quickly suppressed his curiosity, “I’ll just forget it.”

Although she also wanted to see how the Meteor People summoned the legendary dragon.

But the fight between the strengthened gods of land and sea is no joke.

Xiao Lan still wanted to go to that side to minimize the possibility of ordinary people being affected by the battle.

Riding on the back of his new partner Roaring Moon, who he had conquered in Area Zero, Blue quietly followed behind Primal Groudon and took out the “Golden Economic News” with a photo of his younger brother Silver printed on it, and swallowed his saliva secretly.

I feel like the situation isn’t going to be good.
