Fireworks Island Sea Area.
As Kyogre "plopped" into the sea and swam away, Groudon roared beneath, decrying Kyogre's shameless behavior.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was already daydreaming.
Should he seek out Kyogre first, or go find Mr. Diantha?
As for Mikkeli?
Knocked out of contention.
Simply because Mr. Diantha and Kyogre were far, far too important.
"Cough..."
Fang Yuan wiped his drool, heard Groudon's roars below, and realized... he'd better soothe Groudon first.
"Mr... Mr. Fang Yuan?"
The Handsome Guy and others were still staring at Fang Yuan, wanting to ask what had happened.
Why did Kyogre suddenly fly upwards for a face-off with him?
What did Kyogre say just now?
And what is Groudon roaring about down there?
"It's nothing... The battle seems to be over, and this incident has come to an end!"
Fang Yuan smiled at them, "Mr. Diantha, I'll visit you at Devon Corporation later to give you the details."
"Uh... so what are you going to do now?" Mr. Diantha asked.
"Oh, I'll take Groudon home first. Both Ancient Creatures have just finished fighting and might be emotionally unstable at the moment, so I'll go and calm them down... You all carry on with your things..."
Mr. Diantha and the others didn't dare ask or say anything.
Sure, whatever you say, that's what it is.
Shortly after.
Mr. Diantha and the others silently watched as Fang Yuan stood on Groudon's shoulder and walked away.
At this moment, seeing Groudon away, the Shining Metagross beside the helicopter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew..."
The Shining Metagross gasped for air, wiping away sweat.
"Speaking of which, Metagross, you've been a bit off since just now..."
"Right, did you understand what Groudon, Kyogre, and Fang Yuan were talking about just now?"
Mr. Diantha curiously asked his own Metagross.
Although the languages of Ancient Creatures were rather difficult to understand, his Metagross was very intelligent.
Mr. Diantha tentatively asked Metagross.
Mikkeli, Thousand Miles, Handsome Guy, Lila, and others also looked toward Metagross.
"Kang Jin———"
Metagross had a gloomy face; it seemed to understand part of it.
It's just, it didn't really want to say.
But seeing its Trainer's eager eyes wanting to know the inside story, Metagross fell silent for a moment before telling Mr. Diantha its analysis.
"Kang Jin——"
As Metagross stuttered its explanation, Mr. Diantha's expression froze, extremely shocked.
Seeing Mr. Diantha's expression change and unable to understand Metagross's language, Mikkeli and others hastily asked, "Mr. Diantha, what did Metagross say?"
"This..."
Mr. Diantha's expression blank, he looked disheveled in the wind toward Groudon's disappearing figure and said,
"Metagross said: Fang Yuan helped train Groudon's Flying Skills, and Kyogre flew up to invite Fang Yuan to become its Trainer?!"
Metagross nodded.
Best translator on the field: Metagross.
It had only grasped the general meaning and just about explained it as such. All in all, there was no problem with the meaning.
But to Mr. Diantha and the others, there was a subtly awkward feeling.
Groudon's roar was actually complaining about Kyogre stealing his Trainer?
Two Ancient Creatures, actually competing for the opportunity to be trained by a human Trainer?
At this moment, Mr. Diantha's worldview was a bit shattered, suddenly feeling like the story wasn't what Fang Yuan had initially said at all.
"Wait... wait...!"
After Mr. Diantha finished recounting, Mikkeli, Thousand Miles, Handsome Guy, Lila, and the others were still confused and couldn't digest the meaning of the words.
They all looked at Metagross together. This couldn't be possible, could it, Metagross—are you sure you didn't misunderstand??
"Kang Jin...!"
Metagross frowned; surely not, right? Stop talking about it; discussing Ancient Creatures behind their backs isn't good.
By the way, shouldn't we first arrest the fleeing Magma Team below?
Mr. Diantha and the others still felt a bit suffocated... The amount of information was truly overwhelming, no wonder even Metagross, said to have a supercomputer brain, was struggling to keep up.
......
One day later.
On Volcano Island, where the Earth Slate was previously found, Fang Yuan was explaining for the nth time to Groudon.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't go find Kyogre."
"I definitely won't teach it a Z-Move or give it a Z Pure Crystal either!"
"You believe me!"
"Roar!! (I don't believe you one bit, then why are you in such a hurry to leave?)"
Fang Yuan said, "I can't always stay on this island..."
"Besides, my Pokemon have mostly adapted to the two special training environments you created, so there's no reason for me to stay here."
"You really want me to stay with you for years, but I also have to find new Z Pure Crystals for you."
"Roar?!! (Adapted? So soon?!)" Groudon's expression changed.
Fang Yuan facepalmed, "You created the training environments and then just left them be, but I have to supervise them. In general, they have initially achieved some training results, but it's not possible to achieve greater results in a short time."
"Because I have other tasks to attend to, I can't stay here much longer."
Fang Yuan didn't expect that Groudon would actually be reluctant to see him go.
"Roar!!! (No, I must go and see for myself.)"
Groudon still didn't quite believe that the Mane Rock Werewolves had adapted to the training environments it created so quickly.
Fang Yuan shrugged and simply accompanied Groudon to check.
At this moment.
In the crater of the volcano.
