Chapter 522: Groudon's Territory
On a lonely little island in the sea, a towering volcano stood.
At this moment, in the deep sea near the island, a school of Luvdisc was swimming happily. But suddenly, the school of Luvdisc sensed the flow of the water and began to scatter wildly.
In just a short while, a dark shadow swam in from a distance.
It was a dark-colored submarine.
However, as it approached the island, the submarine stopped.
Inside the submarine, Maxie looked at the little brat in front of him, feeling helpless.
"I'm sorry, Boss. I didn't expect him to follow."
Qing Yunyu bowed continuously, one hand pulling the adjacent Qing Fei.
"The main thing is that this operation is too dangerous. It's very risky without an Elite Four-level or higher Water-type Pokémon."
"I'll keep a good eye on him."
"Alright, alright. You two go back first."
Maxie shook his head, gesturing for the two of them to return to their posts.
"Thank you, Boss."
Leading Qing Fei, Qing Yunyu quickly left for his station.
On the way, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get on board?"
"I also want to see what Groudon looks like..."
Qing Fei said, not meaning what he said.
In reality, no matter how many preparations he made, he would still be easily discovered while exploring the submarine.
After all, he was just a teenager.
"You, you!"
Qing Yunyu scolded him helplessly and led him to a room. "Fortunately, the boss is in a relatively good mood now and doesn't have time to deal with you. Just stay in here obediently."
"Okay."
Qing Fei nodded.
Qing Yunyu still felt it wasn't enough. He took out a Water-type Poké Ball from his pocket. "This is a Lapras's Poké Ball. If there's danger, use it to escape."
Taking the Poké Ball, Qing Fei couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"
"I have other Pokémon. You don't need to worry."
With that, he closed the door and walked outside.
As for Qing Fei, he began to size up the room.
Clearly, this was his father's room.
His father, Qing Yunyu's, position in Team Magma was not low. He wasn't an ordinary high-ranking officer. To be precise, he should be considered the second or third in command.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be directly liaising with the Team Magma leader named Maxie.
He began to search the room.
Or rather, there was no need to search at all. On the desk in the room, a layout map of the submarine was placed just like that.
On it, the surveillance and equipment distribution of every corner of the submarine was clearly laid out.
Qing Fei was stunned for a moment, then began to commit this map to memory.
And now, in the submarine's command center, Maxie was looking at the energy analysis map in front of him.
The shape of the energy analysis map was just like this island's map.
Clearly, this was the morphological analysis map of this island.
At the very center of this map, a violent energy cluster was flashing brightly and dimly with a certain rhythm.
It was as if some kind of creature was in a deep sleep, and this intense energy was merely the result of energy dissipation during its breathing.
Maxie tapped on the tabletop. He had never felt so excited, and could only release the emotions in his heart in this way.
And at this moment, an excited voice came from outside, accompanied by a researcher in a white lab coat.
"It's ready, it's ready! The Red Orb has been studied, Boss!"
"Good! I'll be right there!"
Maxie stood up abruptly and walked inside.
...
...
After fishing up the Feebas, Hikaru didn't leave immediately but stayed at the fishing spot to continue fishing.
But after the first Feebas, most of what he caught later were Magikarp and ordinary fish. But even so, it made Sakura very excited.
The Magikarp were naturally caught and released, after all, this thing was of no use.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
Looking at the increasingly strong sun, Hikaru put away his fishing rod.
The bucket was already full; it would be impolite to fish any more.
And besides, he was just here to have some fun.
"Ahahaha~ So many fish!"
Looking at the overflowing bucket, Sakura's eyes sparkled.
They could eat fish today.
Hikaru stroked her head and couldn't help but smile too.
"Senior, senior, are you two coming?"
Sakura cordially invited the two seniors.
"Is that okay?"
Hu Yan'er's eyes lit up. They knew about Hikaru's fish-grilling skills.
That taste was simply divine.
"Of course it is~"
Seeing the two seniors agree, Sakura smiled.
Just right, with so many fish, a few people couldn't finish them all.
Boom!
But just as they were packing up, a world-shaking cry came from the depths of the sea in the distance.
Immediately after, a monstrous tsunami appeared. The sea in the distance and the sky suddenly darkened, and the seawater almost turned into a pitch-black wall.
All of this happened in an instant.
The people below were first stunned when they saw this scene, then began to scream frantically. However, there were still some clever people who had already summoned their Flying-type Pokémon and flew into the distance.
"What's wrong??"
Things happened so suddenly that Hikaru was also a bit dazed. However, after experiencing so many things, he was no longer the novice trainer he once was.
At the first moment, he released his Aura Force and probed into the distance.
But his ever-successful Aura Force failed once again.
It wasn't that his Aura Force was weak, but because even at its maximum range, he couldn't detect any abnormalities.
In other words, the Pokémon that caused such a fluctuation was transmitting it from very far away.
"Gardevoir, please..."
Hikaru was just about to have Gardevoir take Sakura and leave, but before he could finish, Sakura grabbed him. "Let's go, big brother! This has nothing to do with us!"
Seeing Hikaru's expression, she knew what he was about to do.
"Huh?"
"It looks so dangerous."
Sakura blinked with worry.
What does this have to do with my big brother?
Naturally, someone will handle it, right?
Why is he so serious every time...
"Are you still not leaving? This is clearly something that only a Champion-level or higher Pokémon can create."
Over there, the two seniors had already summoned their Dragonite, planning to retreat.
Hikaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded, had Latias transform into her original form, and carried the few of them away.
Sakoira was right. After all, it wasn't his business. Why should he care so much?
He could feel that such an energy fluctuation was very likely not from some Champion-level Pokémon. The current Latias already had the strength of a Champion; he was naturally clear about this.
And at this moment, in the M Region's satellite monitoring center, a red alarm suddenly sounded...
