Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 153 Let me capture Groudon! For the League!
"It seems that even if we attack it, it won't wake up."

Seeing that Mikoli's face was about to explode with anger, Zhulan spoke up with great emotional intelligence.

"That's right, after all, water is the natural enemy of land. So what should we do? Continue the attack?"

Dan Di strongly agreed.

Moreover, Mikuri did set an example; at least Groudon did react somewhat when Milotic used its full-force Hydro Pump.

Perhaps if we use some more powerful moves, Groudon will really wake up.

"But if that happens, Groudon will really be angry, won't it?" Giovanni pondered before speaking.

"It's in a deep sleep right now, as Mr. Mikkelsen's attack just now proved. If we continue to attack it and wake it up, it might go berserk?"

Sakaki shared his guess.

“That’s right, that’s a possibility.” Zhu Lan glanced at Sakaki.

"What should we do then? It's such a pity, we don't have the pearl."

Nemo sighed. Groudon was right in front of them, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Wouldn't all their efforts over the past few days have been in vain?
"There are two other methods."

Sakaki spoke thoughtfully, drawing everyone's attention.

"First, let's lure Team Rocket over here and fight them in the vicinity. The sounds of the battle and the presence of Kyogre might wake Groudon up."

Upon hearing this, the Pill Emperor and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

"The idea is feasible, but the problem is how to attract the Rockets?"

Daigo frowned. Fighting in this area was indeed feasible, but the key was how to lure Team Rocket over.
Team Rocket is an evil organization, but Mammon and his group aren't stupid. Besides, getting Team Rocket to take the initiative to challenge the Hoenn League is extremely difficult.

Finding the Rockets is already difficult enough, let alone luring them here.

Zhu Lan nodded in agreement; luring the Rockets here would be extremely difficult.

"Then let's take the second option and capture Groudon here!" Giovanni said in a deep voice, taking out a Poké Ball.

"what?!"

"what?"

"Senior, please don't act impulsively!"

Upon hearing this, Daigo and the others were taken aback and quickly tried to persuade Sakaki.

“Gym Leader Giovanni, Groudon is a legendary Pokémon. Even if we capture it now and put it in a Poké Ball, once it wakes up, the Poké Ball probably won’t be able to contain it.”

Steven told Giovanni that capturing Groudon was far too dangerous.

Many powerful Pokémon are not restricted by Poké Balls, let alone powerful ancient legendary Pokémon like Groudon.

If it suddenly wakes up and finds that it was captured by humans while it was asleep, it might become enraged and even attack the trainer who took advantage of it.

"This is the only way. As long as we put Groudon into a Poké Ball, we can take it away."

Sakaki's eyes were resolute; he had made up his mind!
“This is too risky, Gym Leader Sakaki.” Ran frowned, her beautiful brows furrowing.

“That’s right, even if it’s risky to capture Groudon, it should be me! Gym Leader Giovanni, you…” Steven said in a deep voice.

He is the true champion of Hoenn! He is the only one worthy of giving everything for Hoenn!
No matter what, it should be Steven who catches Groudon. If Groudon wakes up halfway through, then Steven will have to bear the risk.

“Mammon is my son. It’s the father’s fault if the son is not taught properly. The responsibility for him becoming like this lies with me, no matter what…”

Sakaki's tone was very low, his eyes filled with sadness and stubbornness.

"I will defeat him! I will make him return to his former self, at any cost!"

Sakaki's tone was extremely firm, so firm that it shook Daigo and the others to their core. What a powerful conviction he was!

"So, I'll take the blame! I'll bear all the risks alone."

"For the Alliance and for justice!"

Sakaki's voice was deafening!
Sakaki's words made Daigo open his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master Sakaki."

Mikkuri looked sincere. Back when Giovanni hadn't arrived yet, he had even had some doubts about him.

After all, his son is a senior executive of the Rockets, so it's hard not to suspect his father's true colors.

But after spending this time with him, Michael really wanted to slap himself twice!

You deserve to die! You even doubt Master Sakaki?! Are you even human?!
"Groudor..."

Banmu took two steps forward, gazing at the fiery red behemoth sleeping in the lava, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

The legendary creator of the land, the lord of the fiery red earth, should be quite compatible with me.

At this moment, Sakaki had his back to Daigo and the others, and the corner of his mouth gradually filled with intense malice.

He threw the Ultra Ball directly at Groudon.

According to Mammon, Groudon, who is currently asleep, is very likely not to resist, which is why he is looking for this opportunity to capture Groudon.

This is the best opportunity yet!
This is the legendary 'Earth Overlord'! After all, in a desperate situation, Steven might also think of putting Groudon into a Poké Ball and taking it away.

Just in case, Giovanni brought this up in advance and was the one who put Groudon into the Poké Ball.

Compared to having the league champion take Groudon away, it would be more suitable for Giovanni to do so.

After all, it must be said that Steven, Lancelot, and others are quite outstanding, and if the opportunity arises, they might actually gain Groudon's approval.

So, just to be on the safe side, let him bear this 'risk'!
The Ultra Ball traced a perfect parabola and landed directly on Groudon. Instantly, Groudon's entire massive body turned into red light and was absorbed into the Ultra Ball.

Goal! Can it go in?!
Seeing this, Daigo and the others all looked somewhat nervous.

Nemo, in particular, clenched her fists and stared intently at the Poké Ball floating in mid-air.

drop~
The Poké Ball wobbled in mid-air.

Ding~
The next moment, with a ding, the Poké Ball froze.

Conquered successfully!

Dan Di and the others were extremely surprised. Had they succeeded?

With a whoosh, Beedrill flew past the Ultra Ball and returned to Giovanni's front with the Ultra Ball.

Sakaki accepted the high-grade ball, a satisfied smile involuntarily spreading across his face.

Although he was also delighted, he knew from Mammon's explanation of Groudon and Kyogre's current situation that this was only the first step.

"We've succeeded, everyone."

Sakaki turned around and smiled at Daigo and the others.

"Congratulations, Master Sakaki."

Daigo's feelings were still somewhat complicated.

These are the three ancient legendary Pokémon from the historical legends of the Hoenn region, but now Kyogre has been captured by Mammon.

Groudon was also captured by Giovanni, leaving only Rayquaza, the Sky Dragon...

"That's amazing, senior! That's Groudon!" Nemo was extremely excited, she was thrilled.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone catch a legendary Pokémon in person!
No, no, once she gets back to Padia, she absolutely has to look for clues about legendary Pokémon. She's incredibly interested in legendary Pokémon right now!
Of course, the main reason was that the battle in Larus City made her truly see the huge natural gap between ordinary Pokémon and legendary Pokémon.

Those beings at the top of the Pokémon food chain are truly terrifying, yet at the same time, they inspire immense longing.

"It's just temporarily stuffed into the Poké Ball. The Poké Ball can't restrain Groudon, and if it can't gain Groudon's approval, it doesn't count as catching it."

Sakaki shook his head, completely clear-headed and calm.

"Indeed, but this first step has been completed. As long as Groudon isn't too extreme, Gym Leader Giovanni, you do have a chance to truly capture Groudon."

Dante acknowledged it, but he also felt that Giovanni still had a good chance.

If it weren't inappropriate, he actually quite conscientiously threw the ball at Groudon. Of course, that's assuming Groudon isn't that extreme, otherwise...

Imagine this: Giovanni was sleeping peacefully late at night when Groudon inside the Poké Ball woke up, found itself inside the ball, and in a fit of rage, broke out of the Poké Ball. Giovanni died instantly in his sleep.

That would be terrifying!

"Champion Daigo, the most important thing now is to find Mammon's location as soon as possible."

Sakaki nodded, then looked at Daigo and said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

Daigo nodded; he certainly knew this, and it was of utmost urgency.

The longer the delay, the greater the risk for Giovanni.

……

At the villa of Gaderia in Water Serenity.

Mammon smiled as he looked at the messages on his phone.

"What's wrong? Is there any good news?"

Cattleya placed the fruit platter on the coffee table in front of Mammon, gracefully brushed her hands across her hips, and slowly sat down beside Mammon, asking curiously.

"Groudon has been captured by Old Man Deng, and the Hoenn League is looking for our base location," Mammon said with a smile.

That's right, Giovanni just sent him a new message.

Upon hearing this, Cattleya raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly.

"The Hoenn League has been completely manipulated by you and your son."

Cattleya picked up the water glass on the coffee table, took a sip, and smiled gently.

The Hoenn League never dreamed that the method they had devised was actually the result of being misled, and that their hope of defeating Mammon was completely nonexistent.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Groudon without the Crimson Orb is no match for Primal Kyogre, it would still be no match for it.

If Giovanni suddenly betrays us during this battle, the Hoenn League will likely be doomed.

Of course, Gadriya also knew that Giovanni would not betray them at this time; otherwise, it would be meaningless except to provoke Daigo and the others.

Because of this, the Hoenn League had absolutely no chance of winning this battle.

"It's not that exaggerated. I just didn't expect Daigo to actually give this opportunity to Old Deng."

Mammon crossed his legs with great interest, but unfortunately he couldn't see what was happening.

Otherwise, he really wanted to know how Giovanni 'snatched' the opportunity to capture Groudon from Steven.

After all, as the Hoenn League Champion, Steven should rightfully have the opportunity to capture the sleeping Groudon.

"Should we 'respond'?"

With her beautiful, slender fingers, Cattleya peeled a grape, handed it to Mammon, and asked softly.

“Of course~” Mammon opened his mouth and bit down.

Feeling the touch of her fingers against Mammon's lips, Cattleya blinked her beautiful, bright eyes.

“It’s time to show them true power.” Mammon grinned widely.

"And this is also a good opportunity to resolve Xijiana's matter."

The battle between land and sea also allowed Sidana to draw out Rayquaza; it remains to be seen whether Sidana will live up to expectations.

When are you planning to hold the event?

Cattleya peeled another grape and looked at Mammon with anticipation in her eyes.

Watching Mammon eat her grapes, she felt a warm glow in her heart and was very happy.

"Tonight is the time when the millennium comet arrives. Let's see if this little guy will wake up."

Mammon glanced at the purple crystal on the table; he was quite interested in Jirachi.

"Hmm~" Cattleya nodded slightly.

If Mammon himself doesn't want to be exposed, it won't be an easy task for the Hoenn League to find him.

Night fell, the night of the arrival of the Millennium Comet, on a coastal hilltop in Water Lily City.

Mammon and his two companions were sitting there, with a picnic mat laid out and Jirachi's sleeping crystal placed on it.

"Legend has it that beautiful singing can wake Jirachi. Lillie, I'm counting on you."

Mammon looked at the beautiful white comet appearing in the night sky and smiled at Lillie.

"Okay~ Leave it to me!"

Lillie, full of confidence, took out the Sun Flute from her bag, while the giant bat beside her looked resentful.

The Sun Flute and Moon Flute are clearly its 'exclusive' items!
But Lillie clearly didn't see this, as she brought the Sun Flute to her lips.

The melodious flute music drifted in slowly, like a clear and clean stream, purifying the negative emotions in people's hearts.

The beautiful flute music flowed slowly through the night sky, and the millennium comet shone like the brightest star in the night sky. But what people could not see was that the white comet energy was being scattered drop by drop and absorbed by Jirachi's purple crystal stone.

A dazzling white light shone from the stone, and the sleeping stone slowly floated up.

"It really worked!"

Sensing the change in the Sleeping Stone, Lillie stopped playing her flute and looked at the Sleeping Stone with surprise and joy.

Jirachi, the Wishing Star, is said to grant any wish!

The white light grew increasingly dazzling, and a small, yellowish-white creature, transformed from the sleeping stone, slowly opened its bright eyes.

"So cute~!"

Lillie's eyes lit up.

Jirachi is indeed exceptionally cute. It is quite small, only about 0.3 meters tall, with a star-shaped head, three green wishing cards on its three pointed horns, and two wing-like ribbons on its back.

Its body is white, with a thin black line on its belly, and its short arms and legs make it exceptionally cute.

"Ugh~ Mammon~!"

As soon as Jirachi woke up, he quickly looked around and then fixed his gaze on Mammon. His big eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as he slowly floated toward Mammon.

She pounced on Mammon's neck, rubbing against him affectionately, just like a spoiled kitten.

Upon seeing this, Lillie and Cattleya's expressions instantly changed; this was just too adorable!
And it's also an all-powerful wish-granting machine that can grant any wish!
"Mammon, Mammon~ I'm awake."

Jirachi's clear and innocent telepathy is like that of a child whose gender cannot be distinguished.

It was very close to Mammon. After all, when it wasn't fully awake, Mammon often kept it company by chatting and providing it with energy.

"Congratulations, Jirachi." Mammon smiled and grabbed Jirachi by the armpits, pulling it off his neck and lifting it high in the air.

Jirachi looked at Mammon with an innocent and adorable expression; he was incredibly cute.

Then, the adorable Wishing Star expressed its first 'wish' after waking up.

"Mammon~ I want to ride a big fish."

"what?"

Mammon was taken aback. "Are you serious? Kyogre might not actually agree, right?"

"What's wrong? Mammon, you promised me." Jirachi tilted his head.

"I want to ride a big fish. Someone told me that riding a big fish feels amazing," Jirachi said seriously.

"Who told you that?" Mammon was genuinely stunned this time.

“Manaphy told me that.”

P.S.: Here I am! I was so tired that I fell asleep while writing last night. I'll finish today's three chapters in the early hours of the morning. I'm not going to sleep tonight!
