Chapter 592 Rebuilding Groudon's Glory is Our Duty!
shhhhhh!
Countless sharp stones shot out from the lava pool as Groudon unleashed its Cliff Blade attack in a frenzy.
The entire cave trembled under its rage, and the ground was torn open with countless cracks. From each crack, a rock pillar carrying lava burst forth and shot towards the Brilliant King from all directions!
An overwhelming, all-encompassing attack appeared, so dense that there was almost no room to dodge!
"Crowned Queen, use your powerful mental abilities to block everything!"
Li Luochen suddenly shouted.
The blue light in the Crowned King's eyes surged, and the sharp stones that were rushing towards it froze several meters away, as if they had hit a transparent wall, and hovered in mid-air, buzzing and trembling.
But there were simply too many swords of precipice. The Crowned Queen gritted her teeth, and the flower buds on her crown trembled slightly.
Forcibly intercepting so many physical attacks with mental power would severely deplete one's superpowers...
Fortunately, the Crowned Crane managed to block it.
Its eyes suddenly flashed with blue light, and its psychic powers exploded at full force. The sharp rocks that were suspended in mid-air all changed direction and blasted back at Groudon with blue light that was wrapped in psychic power!
Groudon raised its thick arm to block, and sharp stones clattered against its skin. Although they did not cause much damage to the plant itself, they still made it stagger back several steps.
Just as it lowered its arm and was about to roar in retaliation, it suddenly felt the surroundings turn cold.
Snowflakes were falling in this magma cave that is scorching hot all year round.
It suddenly looked up, its pupils contracting sharply.
Countless icicles had formed on its head without it even realizing it, each one as thick as a tree trunk.
Dozens of snow spears were aimed at its head!
"Now? Do you submit?" Li Luochen's voice came from below.
"I give up, I give up, haha."
Groudon looked up at the dense array of icicles above its head, its eyes finally losing their previous rage and wariness, replaced by a helpless yet resigned smile.
It slowly lowered the arm that had been blocking its way and plopped back down into the lava pool.
The lava flowed over its surface, making a hissing sound.
Groudon didn't care at all, and just shook its big head, which still had that charred, split mark.
"You're quite something, human."
Groudon added in a deep voice, its tail leisurely stirring in the lava pool, a stark contrast to its previous fierce demeanor.
If you can't win, admit defeat. In this respect, Groudon is more straightforward than most legendary Pokémon.
"So now you believe I can help you defeat Rayquaza?"
Li Luochen struck while the iron was hot, looking up at Groudon, who was sitting in the lava pool scratching its belly, a confident smile on his lips.
The icicle still hanging above the crowned king's head remained, preserving its last bit of intimidation.
"One thing at a time, I still don't believe you." Groudon shook its head, its answer still straightforward.
It acknowledged that the human was strong, and the Pokémon with the flower bud on its head beside him was also strong, but defeating it and defeating Rayquaza were two different things.
In its racial memory, that black caterpillar is the embodiment of invincibility; tens of thousands of years of psychological trauma cannot be erased by winning a single battle.
"Besides, you human bear the aura of Rayquaza! You're clearly in cahoots with it, aren't you?!"
Groudon became alert again. The more it talked, the more convinced it felt it was in the right. It stood up from the lava pool, its tail swishing nervously behind it. "You were sent by it to recruit me as a follower? You beat me and then handed me over to that Caterpie? No way, not even if you kill me!"
Groudon then pointed to the Master Ball on Li Luochen's waist.
Li Luochen looked down at the Master Ball, then looked up at the enormous object in front of him that had a "don't try to fool me" expression, and finally understood where the problem lay.
This Groudon probably mistook it for Rayquaza.
"It is not Rayquaza."
Li Luochen knew that hiding it any longer would only deepen the misunderstanding, so he simply raised his hand and threw out the Master Ball.
Dark Lugia spread its enormous wings in the cave, lowered its head, and stared at the nervous behemoth before it with its scarlet pupils, tilting its head slightly.
"It just learned a trick from the Sky Piercer, adding the finishing touch to the masterpiece."
Li Luochen stepped forward and took out a scale with a jet-black luster from his pocket. "The reason I have the aura of the Sky Piercer is because I carry a scale that it has blessed."
"Liekongzuo was my mentor, but I am not its subordinate. If we're talking about a relationship, I'm its apprentice, nothing more."
Groudon stared blankly at the pair before it, then leaned closer to smell the scales on Li Luochen's hand, and then smelled the scent of Dark Lugia.
Indeed, although the two smells are similar, they are different upon closer inspection.
"Since you've seen Rayquaza, you know how powerful it is, right? Rayquaza is unbeatable..."
Groudon's voice lowered, carrying an emotion that could almost be described as awe.
It sat back down in the lava pool, its tail drooping listlessly over the edge.
When the topic of Rayquaza was actually brought up, the fear rooted deep within the racial memory still involuntarily surfaced.
"No, no, no, there is no such thing as perfection in this world."
Li Luochen waved his hand, his tone resolute, "Rayquaza is very strong, ridiculously strong, I've seen it with my own eyes. But it's not invincible, there's no Pokémon in this world that's invincible."
"Just because you can't beat me today doesn't mean you'll never be able to. Just because I can't beat Rayquaza today doesn't mean I won't be able to beat it tomorrow."
"Then give me a reason why you can let me defeat it."
Groudon stared straight at Li Luochen.
It needs a reason, a reason that can convince itself to let go of tens of thousands of years of racial memories and be willing to believe Li Luochen.
"this."
Li Luochen picked up the vermilion pearl again and held it in his palm.
The Crimson Orb allows Groudon to transform into Primal Revert Form. In Primal Revert Form, defeating Rayquaza in its normal form is as easy as beating a Pokémon.
"Besides, you don't necessarily have to fight that black Rayquaza. There's more than one Rayquaza in the world, you can fight another one. Pick a weaker one, build up your confidence first, and progress step by step."
Groudon tilted its head, and the fear in its golden vertical pupils was gradually replaced by a more intense emotion.
It glanced at the crimson pearl in Li Luochen's palm, then at its own reflection in the lava, and let out a low, eager sound.
Switching to a Rayquaza mount sounds tempting!
It is our duty to restore Groudon's glory!
