Chapter 564 Qingyu: Three sentences to make Groudon my number one henchman!
Groudon stared blankly at the cloud-covered sky.
The rainwater fell on its head and body, and was immediately evaporated by the scalding heat inside its body, turning into water vapor with a sizzling sound.
The white mist gradually covered Groudon's body, causing it to instinctively reach out and scratch its back.
It's a little itchy.
wrong!
Why is it raining?!
As a symbol of the earth, it is impossible for it to rain once it awakens. This is the authority bestowed upon it by the creator god, and no method that can influence the weather can interfere with it!
Even if you were face-to-face with that symbol of the ocean, the weather would only overlap, not completely cover it.
Therefore, it absolutely could not be that fathead fish!
After a moment of confusion, Groudon looked up at the human hovering in the air, whose very breath seemed to be a challenge to it.
Even though it had just woken up, it could guess that it must be related to this human.
Instead of running away when facing itself, it deliberately lured itself away from its slumber and drew attention to the unusual weather outside.
This kid seems to have quite a background!
Groudon immediately realized that things were not simple, so it did not continue to attack.
Seeing this, Qingyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that even the most stubborn people will eventually learn their lesson after being beaten up countless times by Rayquaza.
That's a good thing, at least he doesn't have to physically persuade Groudon anymore.
"Groudon, I meant no harm."
Qingyu then took the initiative to speak, using Mewtwo's mental power to transmit his voice into Groudon's mind.
0.o?
Groudon stared at him wide-eyed, completely unprepared for such a shameless lie.
You meant no harm, so why did you wake me up for no reason?
Although I was about to wake up after sensing the approaching cosmic energy—
But waking up naturally and being forced to wake up are two completely different things!
Groudon still felt that the human in the sky was provoking it, and had even secretly activated the ley line energy, ready to unleash the next full-power Cliff Sword at any moment.
If he continues to be so ungrateful, then take action!
Seeing the murderous intent that Groudon couldn't hide in its eyes, Qingyu looked down at the ground that was already far away from him, and suddenly realized what was going on.
I almost forgot!
Flying up in front of Groudon is as taunting as dancing in front of someone's house in the middle of the night!
So Qingyu glanced at Mewtwo again, conveying his thoughts with his eyes.
Mewtwo seemed hesitant at first, but it quickly gave in to Qingyu's gaze and followed his advice to slowly descend until it was level with Groudon's line of sight.
"Now, can we have a proper talk?"
Qingyu felt she had been very sincere, but Groudon clearly didn't think so.
What does that mean?
Why would it need to fly up so you can see it properly?
No, I can't stand even a little bit!
Groudon is furious!
"roar--!!!"
Suddenly, it roared and swung its claws, causing the ground in front of it to rise abruptly, forming a stone pillar that shot towards Qingyu's direction.
It was so fast that it even created an astonishing sonic boom in the air.
Fortunately, Mewtwo had been secretly on guard against Groudon's attack, and the moment it made its move, it immediately used Teleport to teleport itself and Qingyu behind Groudon.
"Tsk—"
Qingyu clicked her tongue in amazement.
To retract the preface, it seems there's still nothing to talk about with Groudon.
Therefore, there is only one answer.
Since normal communication is impossible, the only way to effectively communicate with Groudon is to make it submit to you!
So, "Come out, Rayquaza!"
Qingyu simply stopped pretending, pointed directly to the sky, and shouted out the name of his "Demon King Protector".
Upon hearing the name Rayquaza, even after a thousand years, Groudon still instinctively shuddered.
There was no way to defeat that dragon, which symbolized the sky.
Even if it joins forces with Kyogre, it can only delay it for a while at most.
but----
What are the odds that a human could summon that unruly sky god?
It's probably about the same probability as if I were willing to be his underling.
Groudon almost laughed out loud, so he simply stood with his hands on his hips on the ground, looking up and quietly waiting for the "miracle" to happen.
But to its surprise, a loud dragon roar soon echoed from the sky.
Groudon: ?
Wait a minute?
Because it was so familiar, it was impossible for it to mistake the iconic voice of the Thunder God!
But it was precisely because of this that Groudon's expression, after a moment of panic, turned into something eerie.
Because besides that familiar dragon roar, it seemed to hear other sounds that were somewhat similar but different in detail.
The voices clearly came from the same race.
That's what confused it.
Could there possibly be two Rayquaza?
Groudon felt like his brain, which hadn't been used for a thousand years, was about to dry out and start smoking.
Then suddenly a crack appeared in the dark clouds, and two different colored but almost identical creatures, one black and one green, appeared.
Its speculation has finally come true.
Rumble—
The thunderclap in the sky mirrored Groudon's turbulent emotions at that moment.
For a moment, it even felt like it couldn't breathe.
What does it mean that there are actually two Rayquaza in this world?
Could it be that the previous incidents were just minor skirmishes, which is why the other black Rayquaza hasn't made an appearance yet?
Even though Groudon could only vaguely see their silhouettes when it looked up, it could still clearly sense the difference in strength between the two Rayquaza.
—Okay, actually it's seen with the eyes.
After all, the green Rayquaza that it was more familiar with clearly had several wounds left by dragon-type attacks on its body, indicating that they had just fought before appearing.
This made Groudon even more suspicious—
Why are they fighting?
Aren't we all from the same ethnic group?
And why did they actually fly over from the sky after that human shouted?
The rain masked the steam rising from Groudon's forehead, making its quietly lowered arm go unnoticed.
Thankfully, I didn't attack again, otherwise I probably would have been hit by a double attack from two Rayquazas.
Groudon immediately chose to follow its heart.
When it calmed down and looked up at the human in front of it, it quickly noticed a somewhat familiar aura.
This is----
The breath left behind by the Creator!
This thing is much more effective than Rayquaza's entrance in terms of oppressive power; Groudon felt its scalp tingle almost instantly.
No, you should have said so earlier if you were Arceus's messenger!
We're all family, how could I possibly want to hurt you, right?
Noticing Groudon's sudden relaxed expression and the almost fawning smile that followed, Qingyu blinked.
This guy reacted pretty quickly.
"Now we can have a proper talk, right?"
After Qingyu spoke with a subtle smile, Groudon immediately nodded vigorously.
With Rayquaza and Arceus as powerful backers, what's there to talk about?
Whatever you say goes!
Even if you asked me to go out into the ocean right now, pull that fathead fish out, and slap it twice, I wouldn't hesitate!
At this moment, Groudon's behavior can only be described as obedient.
Qingyu also saw everything and it further confirmed his guess that letting Groudon and Kyogre end their mission might not be something that was destined to be impossible.
So after thinking for a moment, he spoke again: "This time, Arceus sent me to the Hoenn region to resolve some trouble."
"You and Kyogre should have been able to sense that meteorite falling from the sky beforehand."
Groudon nodded again.
It was because of that enormous super energy from the universe that it showed signs of awakening again after a thousand years, trying to get more energy after the battle with Kyogre.
However, the priority of the order may need to be adjusted now.
Even the Creator was alarmed. If it continues to be as stubborn as before, it will be somewhat ignorant of its own limitations.
Therefore, whatever Arceus's messenger says goes!
Anyway, Rayquaza has always been in charge of meteorites, so it doesn't need to do anything.
Seeing Groudon's completely confident expression, Qingyu suddenly found it a bit funny—could this be considered "making Groudon my number one henchman in just three sentences"?
However, that's not the main point.
He then continued, "The conflict between the sea and the land should have ended at the beginning of this era, and you and Kyogre have no reason to continue fighting."
Upon hearing this, Groudon instinctively frowned.
Indeed, the messenger of Arceus was telling the truth.
Ever since that giant of Sinnoh used his body to pry open the tectonic plates and spread the land across the world, the boundary between the land and the sea has been basically formed.
In theory, neither it nor Kyogre is likely to reshape the world order.
Otherwise, they would only be met with the Sky Thrower descending from the sky —
But after fighting for so long, as mortal enemies, they have never been able to determine a winner, and both have accumulated a great deal of anger.
Therefore, as soon as they wake up, they will instinctively look for each other and vent all the anger that has been pent up for a thousand years.
Sometimes, when they go too far, Rayquaza will come and drive them away, sending them back to their own territory to continue their eternal slumber.
This kind of life has been going on for who knows how long, and it has even become a habit and etched into my memory.
It simply can't bring itself to make peace with Kyogre right now.
After Groudon fell silent, Qingyu secretly observed its changing expression, then shook his head helplessly.
It wasn't that easy after all.
Therefore, we need to add fuel to the fire.
"Actually, before leaving this world, Arceus left me with a message, hoping that I could grant you one wish."
Qingyu then spoke again.
"If it can help you forget your hatred for Kyogre, I'd be happy to grant your wish."
"roar?
'
Groudon let out a low growl and instinctively scratched its head.
desire----
Of course, I have wishes.
In fact, the rivalry between the ocean and the land has long since ceased to exist.
Both it and Kyogre knew that if they dared to rashly alter the order left by Arceus, they would be met with far more than just a Rayquaza.
Even the legendary giant, or even Arceus himself, might appear.
So all along they've only been making small-scale moves, at most creating a small piece of land in the sea near Hoenn.
What truly broke Groudon's defenses was something else entirely—because every time that guy appeared in front of him, he would immediately fly out of the water to taunt him!
It always disgusts itself first, and it only takes action when it can no longer tolerate it!
Groudon felt a little wronged when it thought about this.
It is, after all, one of the "Legendary Pokémon" left by the Creator to maintain world order. Why is it that among so many legendary beings, it seems to be the only one that cannot fly?
Forget about Rayquaza, he was born to be the ruler of the sky.
But why can a fathead fish fly?
Even Regigigas, just like himself, relied on reaction force to forcefully fly into the sky and achieve long-term flight.
Although it could theoretically learn this move—
But I feel that if I appeared with my head down and constantly breathing fire towards the ground, I would definitely be laughed at by other legendary Pokémon!
唉—
Groudon sighed inwardly.
I'm too hard!
As for wishes and such —
Its only wish was to learn to fly.
I am Groudon!
I don't want to be laughed at by others anymore!
"roar--!"
Groudon became even more determined in his mind and roared to express his wish to the messenger of Arceus before him.
As long as you can make me fly, we'll be the best in the world!
Forget about Kyogre, I'd even dare to command Rayquaza to fly up and slap me twice!
Qingyu: ? ? ?
Hearing its simple wish, Qingyu was actually a little stunned.
Since its inception, the meme "Groudon can't fly" has been like meme contamination, frequently appearing in various Pokémon-related contexts.
But he never imagined that even Groudon itself harbored such resentment about this.
He originally thought Groudon would wish for something like greater power or expanding the Earth's coverage on the planet.
He might not have that authority; he'd have to ask the alpaca what it says.
But Groudon chose the strategy with the most projectiles—
It really wants to fly!
Just by looking into those expectant eyes, Qingyu knew that its thoughts were absolutely true.
However, the problems are also quite obvious.
According to the Pokédex, the original Groudon is 5 meters tall and weighs two tons.
Qingyu, standing right in front of Groudon, was perfectly aware of how much of this parameter was inflated.
I never expected that Dr. Oda Tomoe, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also commit academic fraud!
Its height is about four or five times that of the illustration in the encyclopedia, and its weight is an astronomical figure.
It's really not easy to give such a heavy-duty creature the ability to fly.
I doubt even Mewtwo or Rayquaza could make it float.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to realize its wish.
But it's not entirely hopeless.
After thinking for a moment, Qingyu quickly formed a rough plan in her mind.
"Okay, but I need a little time."
"There is a special power in Padiya; perhaps it can help you fulfill your wish?"
