Chapter 524: The M Region's Coercion
The sky was clear for thousands of miles.
In the ocean, a colossal beast paused its steps slightly because it saw a few annoying "flies" flying in front of it.
They were called "flies," but those present were all trainers at the Champion level or thereabouts.
On a Hydreigon soaring proudly in the sky sat a burly man.
There was also a Garchomp with sharp, gleaming eyes, even in the presence of an existence like Groudon. On it sat a woman with blonde hair reaching her waist, wearing a black, cloak-like robe.
This was the symbol of the number one in the M Region's internal Elite Four ranking tournament.
The Elite Four ranking tournament, as the name suggests, was a ranking competition that only Elite Four-level trainers could participate in. It was held every four years to select candidates for the championship.
This model was actually stolen by the M Region from the Huaxia region.
It's just that the standards in the Huaxia region were now stricter, requiring the approval of a national-level Gym Leader.
The Pokémon beneath them all exuded powerful auras, yet they still looked at Groudon with vigilance.
Compared to their last "meeting," this Groudon clearly looked stronger.
Just standing in front of it, one could feel an immense pressure.
This was the power of a Legendary Pokémon.
"Have you not found out the reason yet?"
Looking at the behemoth in front of her, Garchomp didn't dare to get too close, only daring to fly at a slight distance. And Cynthia, riding on it, had a solemn expression.
As a freelancer, she was not, strictly speaking, required to participate in this matter.
But the M Region's officials had requested her, and she happened to be nearby, so she came.
Now it seemed that the current Groudon did not have much malicious intent; it was simply moving forward.
But if this advance continued, it would soon reach the land area, which was the human urban area.
"Not yet.... but I estimate..."
The trainer behind her was clearly wearing a black uniform, but facing Cynthia, he still answered honestly.
For no other reason than that in the freedom-loving M Region, strength was the only standard.
The woman in front of him, although younger than him and holding no official position, was stronger than him...
"Estimate what?"
Cynthia asked curiously.
"It's probably Team Magma's doing. Team Magma's submarine was spotted where Groudon originally rested."
"They really don't give up!"
Hearing this result, even with her personality, she couldn't help but curse under her breath.
But looking at the ever-approaching Groudon, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
If it was allowed to continue walking, it would probably really reach the city.
Should I battle it?
This thought flashed through her mind, but she immediately gave it up.
Just from this presence alone, she knew that this was definitely not a problem she could solve.
...
On the other side, a few hours earlier.
The place where the referees from various countries had gathered.
Now, everyone was staring intently at the footage transmitted from one of the Rotoms.
On it, Groudon was advancing towards Li Prefecture.
A middle-aged man in a suit walked in.
And his purpose for coming in was also very clear.
He directly spoke to everyone with a sincere attitude, "Everyone, I am Charles Ming, the Vice-Chairman of the M Region Pokémon League. Currently, Groudon is advancing towards the territory of my M Region. I ask for everyone's help to drive it away when necessary."
The crisis of Groudon making landfall was imminent. If it really came to the point where it needed to be driven away, a major battle would be unavoidable.
A battle of this level could only be participated in by Champion-level trainers.
Even for a Champion-level trainer, a single mistake could lead to their demise.
If such losses could be reduced, it was naturally best to reduce them.
Coincidentally, there were Champion-level trainers from various countries here now.
They could ask them for help...
But everyone was a trainer from a different country. What they saw now was only Groudon advancing towards the M Region.
What did this have to do with them?
Fighting against Groudon was a life-threatening task.
Seeing everyone's indifferent attitude, Charles Ming was not surprised, but his gaze turned a little colder, staring at the referee from the Sakura Country.
The one who had come from their country was a trainer named Yamamoto Ookuma, also a Champion, but he was advanced in years.
Looking at his gray-haired appearance, he should be in his fifties or sixties.
His strength was slightly weaker.
Moreover, since the end of the war, the Sakura Country had been thoroughly beaten into submission by the M Region.
"Huaxia region, what's that saying again? When one party is in trouble, all sides come to support..."
Charles Ming gathered his thoughts.
"I need to use the restroom. You guys chat first."
Lance let out a disdainful laugh and then walked outside.
Following him was the old woman.
"Oh dear, I'm suddenly feeling a little dizzy. I need to go back and rest."
"Huh? Grandma, are you alright? Should I take you to see a doctor? I'll go with you." Tang Fei was greatly alarmed and supported the old woman as she left.
However, when they reached the door, it was unknown when it had been blocked by men in black suits.
The old woman glanced, and a certain trajectory faintly emerged from the shadows.
"Oh? Are you trying to stop this old lady?"
The surrounding lights began to dim, accompanied by the flashing sound of static electricity.
And a gloomy laugh, it was unknown when it had erupted.
"Roar!"
From the sky, a massive Dragonite descended, its eyes as fierce as if it were about to kill someone.
The mere force of its flapping wings shattered the glass of this high-rise floor.
And Tang Fei, in her qipao, also covered her rosy lips with her hand, but a charming smile still couldn't be stopped from spreading.
As if possessing some kind of strange energy, the large men nearby became restless.
They couldn't help but feel an urge... to obey this woman's every word.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Lance, however, whistled nonchalantly, then paused.
Seeing the silent and unmoving Charles Ming, he glanced back. "Hanweisi, I remember you have an appointment for afternoon tea today, don't you?"
"Oh, oh, yes."
A burly man behind him, who was still in a daze, also came back to his senses at this moment and followed him out the door.
Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the group left the building.
Only Charles Ming's face became somewhat ugly.
This Dragonite...
It had actually reached a level above a Champion!
The Dragon Tamer Ye family, the Huaxia region, had produced another ridiculously monstrous talent!
Watching the group leave, the others finally came back to their senses and began to find excuses to leave this place.
But the door behind them suddenly closed at this moment.
Charles Ming revealed a smile. "I think, compared to everyone else's business, the Groudon situation is a bit more urgent, isn't it?"
