Chapter 591 Groudon: This is too much!
"Try it? What are you going to use to try it?"
Groudon shook its massive head, the suspicion in its eyes not only not diminishing, but actually intensifying.
The dark, all-encompassing figure of Rayquaza is so deeply ingrained in the racial memory that it has been passed down from generation to generation and is now etched into its very instincts.
Just thinking about that flying green caterpillar made its tail unconsciously stir the lava again.
Wait, what's that smell?
Groudon sniffed, its eyes suddenly becoming wary.
Li Luochen exuded an aura that made it linger in fear.
It was so focused on the pearl that it hadn't thought about it carefully, but now that it's calmed down and taken a closer sniff, the scent is exactly like that black caterpillar's...
Although the taste is very mild, you definitely won't mistake it for something else...
Groudon instinctively took a half step back, and the lava pool splashed up as it stepped on it, instantly releasing a wave of heat.
"Human! Why do you smell like that guy?!"
Perhaps due to the deep-seated racial memories, Groudon even retreated to the center of the lava pool.
The naivety and curiosity from before were gone from those eyes; in their place was a furious rage, as if they had been deceived.
Even the crimson pearl that he had been longing for was swatted back to Li Luochen's feet by its paw, rolling twice before coming to a stop.
In its view, this was a scam from beginning to end!
This human carried the scent of the black caterpillar, yet pretended to be a good person, using the pearl to lure it, trick it into revealing information, and even trying to deceive it into following him!
mean!
That's despicable!
"I understand, you smell like it! You were sent by it!"
Groudon's roar echoed through the cave, making the entire underground cavern tremble. Li Luochen didn't even have time to refute it.
A wave of scorching heat hit us, and the lava pool churned and boiled.
Groudon had clearly already decided that he was an enemy and had no intention of listening to his explanation.
"Do you think it's possible for these two things to coexist?" Li Luochen asked instinctively.
"Impossible! Take this, Cliff-Shattering Sword!"
Groudon wouldn't listen at all, and Ground-type energy frantically gathered around it.
The ground around him suddenly cracked open, and several huge rock pillars made of interwoven lava and rock burst out of the ground, stabbing towards Li Luochen like sharp swords.
Precipice Blade, Groudon's signature move!
Right now, each rock pillar is imbued with terrifying power capable of tearing the earth apart. Lava flows on the surface of the rock pillars, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime!
"Tsk, looks like I'll have to make you obedient."
Li Luochen covered his face with one hand and glanced at the enraged lava behemoth through his fingers.
He originally wanted to have a proper talk, but since they couldn't communicate in the same language, he decided to communicate through combat.
Ultimately, the rules between Pokémon are always established through battles!
"Crowned Queen, Snow Spear!"
The Queen of the Brilliant Crown, who had been waiting in the rear, moved at the sound.
The Snowstorm Horse reared up and neighed, ice crystals shattered beneath its hooves, and a chilling aura surged from the Crowned King's palm, instantly forming a jet-blue ice spear.
It reined in its horse and charged forward instead of retreating, heading straight up to meet the several cliff-like swords that were breaking through the ground. The ice spear drew a blinding cold light in the air and fiercely stabbed at the lava pillar at the front!
Whoosh!
A cold glint flashed, and white vapor rose.
With a single move, the snow spear precisely pierced the base of the cliff sword, and the extreme cold spread wildly along the rock pillar. The lava and ice exploded with a piercing hissing sound the moment they came into contact.
The massive rock pillar froze layer by layer from its center outwards, then shattered with a deafening roar, turning into dust that fell in a flurry.
Then, the Crowned King frantically swung his snow spear, shattering the remaining cliff swords.
Groudon was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.
Its prized cliff-cut sword was shattered so easily?
Before it could even react, the Snowstorm Horse had already carved a crystalline path above the lava pool, its hooves flying as it carried the Crowned King straight toward its face.
The cold air surged again in the hands of the Crowned Queen, and the second snow spear was already in her grasp!
"This is outrageous!"
Groudon roared, its jaws snapped open, and fire-type energy rapidly condensed deep within its throat, instantly transforming into an enormous fireball.
The fireball was several times larger than the Calyrex and its horse combined, and its surface was covered with scorching, corona-like flames, making it look like the Chinese character "大" (big) again!
Big Flame Burst, a powerful Fire-type move, is far beyond what is typical when powered by Groudon's Sunlight ability!
The moment the fireball left its mouth, even the air was scorched and distorted, carrying an aura of incineration as it crushed towards the Crowned King.
The Crowned Queen swung her snow spear, which collided violently with the Great Flame in mid-air.
The clash between ice and fire produced a piercing sound, and large swirls of water vapor surged outwards, engulfing the cave in a sea of mist.
The snow spear melted rapidly under the scorching heat of the fireball, and the icy water dripped down the spear shaft, evaporating into gas before it even hit the ground.
The Crowned King gritted his teeth and pushed forward with all his might.
However, the power of the Great Fireball, amplified by the sunlight, was far too overwhelming. After only a few seconds of stalemate, the snow spear began to disintegrate layer by layer from the tip, and finally the entire ice spear melted completely under the crushing force of the fireball.
The fireball, still brimming with power, grazed past the side of the Brilliant King, blasting a stalactite pillar behind it to smithereens.
The Queen of the Lace shook her hands, which were red from the high temperature, and frowned slightly.
Although both are Champion-level, Groudon's power was clearly greatly amplified in this lava cave, its home ground.
"Let's try a different move, Sunlight Blade!"
Li Luochen made a decisive decision.
Since Ice-type Snow Spear is being suppressed in Groudon's home turf, let's switch to a Grass-type move that can be affected by sunlight!
Solar Blade is a Grass-type move that is also quite effective against Ground-type Groudon.
The Crowned King understood immediately and raised both arms above his head.
In this underground cave where the sun never shines, the flower bud on its crown suddenly bloomed, frantically absorbing the light and heat energy emanating from Groudon's body.
The crimson light transformed into emerald green grass-based energy within the flower bud, condensing into a vibrant green light blade that hummed in the palm of the Brilliant King.
In an instant, it slashed down fiercely!
Groudon had just unleashed Flamethrower and only managed to catch a glimpse of its green light before Solar Blade struck it squarely on the head.
"roar!"
Groudon felt a sharp pain and staggered back several steps.
The magma pool was churning and surging.
When it finally regained its balance, there was a charred gash on its forehead. Although it wasn't fatal, it was still very painful.
"How about it? Now you acknowledge my abilities, right?"
Li Luochen crossed his arms and looked across the churning lava pool at the enormous creature that was clutching its head and groaning, and calmly asked.
Calyrex landed a solid Sunblade, which would have made an ordinary Pokémon give up long ago, but Groudon is clearly no ordinary Pokémon.
"I haven't used my full strength yet!"
Groudon shook its head, still dazed from being hit, its anger burning even brighter than before!
