Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Retreat for now! Take photos of Master Daigo's heroic figure from a distance!"

I don't know which top trainer started talking first, but a group of capable cameramen led their flying Pokémons and retreated continuously, withdrawing several miles away.

Fortunately, Devon's equipment is extremely advanced, so even in this situation, it is easy to capture relatively clear images, and the field of view is wider.

"A bunch of cowards!"

Daigo clenched his back teeth, and his hands, which were holding the Poké Ball tightly, were shaking constantly.

He was afraid, and not just any fear.

If there was no one around, he would even want to sit down on the ground and faint like a Magikarp in a dried-up pond.

No, this is still too unpleasant...

How nice it would be to pee my pants and collapse like a dying jewel starfish!

At such a moment, the happiest thing is to die quickly without having to face Groudon and high temperature.

Daigo couldn't help but have many such extremely cowardly thoughts. He even hated himself for believing his father's lies and why he was born into the Zfuchi family?

Even if you are an ordinary person, you don't need to be forced to face Groudon head-on like this, right?

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The shaking of the earth was getting closer and closer, Daigo's breathing became more rapid, and his face was covered with sweat.

Fortunately, the photographers were so far away that they couldn't capture his detailed expression at that moment.

But the sun above my head became even hotter, even more scorching than the scorching heat.

Daigo finally raised his eyes and looked forward.

In the air distorted by the high temperature, Groudon's golden eyes were particularly dazzling, but the aura it exuded was particularly cold and ruthless. Its body, taller and harder than a mountain, pressed forward step by step without a single pause.

It seemed as if the three sacred pillars thousands of meters away did not exist.

Daigo stood there in a daze, his eyes full of those terrifying golden eyes. His hands and feet twitched, and he couldn't help but shout at the top of his lungs:

"Regiice!"

Regice is an ice-attribute legendary Pokémon, and Groudon was a ground-attribute Pokémon before its original return, so the ice attribute has a restraining effect on it.

If there is anyone among the three pillars who can pose the greatest threat to Groudon, it is probably Regice.

The strength of the master level is not necessarily inferior to that of the legendary level...

That’s what Daigo thought.

"Regiice!"

A mechanical sound came from the Ice God Pillar's body. Its body, which looked like a sharp ice sculpture, also glowed faintly, and its two dangling arms continuously emitted ice-blue beams of light.

"Freezing beam!"

The laser-like ice beam attack quickly crossed a distance of several thousand meters. For the master-level moves, this distance did not cause any attack loss at all.

"Wow—"

The ice beam first rushed through the air mass around Groudon that was distorted by the high temperature, but it paused for half a breath the moment it entered the high-temperature air mass.

It was visible to the naked eye that the ice beam quickly melted and dissipated, and by the time it hit Groudon's body, it had almost turned into a column of water.

For the huge Groudon, this was just like getting him a few water stains, not even enough for a bath.

After another two breaths, the high temperature had completely evaporated all the water stains.

In fact, Groudon himself did not feel attacked. Its will was suppressed by the orb, and unless Kyogre could attract it in all aspects, most other Pokémon were just Butterfree dancing back and forth in its eyes.

If it were just like this, the Three Pillars might be able to get away unscathed after harassing as much as they could.

"What a clueless bug."

Standing on top of Groudon, Obert looked ahead with contempt and snorted disdainfully.

The Heart Bat's superpowers completely enveloped him, and with the protection of the Orb, Groudon's high temperature could hardly hurt him.

Under such circumstances, Obert was trying to get familiar with the orb and reach the best understanding with it. He never thought that there would be a bug that wanted to die jumping around in front of him...

The previous few Hoenn kings fled after a brief attack, and Obert really couldn't do anything to them for the time being.

But the bugs in front of him were blocking Groudon and blocking Groudon's path.

Seems like a little fight is in the cards?

Obert sneered and ordered, "Grawo! Big word Explosion Flame!"

Upon hearing the order, Groudon quickly found the target in front of him, and his body paused slightly. Its two huge red claws opened, and the thick white claws emitted flames.

From a distance, when the fire energy was rapidly mobilized, the black lines all over Groudon's body were glowing.

In the blink of an eye, a cross of flames covered half of the sky.

Standing on the hillside facing the attack, Daigo's face turned pale, and he was stunned and forgot to move. The heat from the cross flame alone was so intense that he almost suffocated and could no longer do anything.

However, the three divine pillars in front of him still moved on their own.

The leader, Reggieice, stood at the front, with the yellow light on his forehead flashing rapidly.

As Reggieice waved his arms, the heat around him dissipated rapidly in a short period of time, and fist-sized snowflakes continued to condense in the air.

...

"snowstorm!"

In an open space three kilometers away from the battlefield, a man with a strange black collar on his head closed his eyes and shouted out with excitement.

Next to him, there were two trainers wearing collars, one male and one female, both with their eyes closed and trembling all over.

At the control console not far away, countless researchers in white coats were operating anxiously.

Behind them was a simple base that was all earthy yellow and almost blended into the land. The gate of the base opened with a bang, and Tiexuan walked out quickly with Bonnie and Huayue.

Tiexuan held the communication device, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket. Then, covering his head wrapped in gauze, he nervously found the person in charge and asked:

"How's the progress? Can the three pillars defeat Groudon?"

The person in charge was a tall and thin man wearing round glasses. He glanced at the man with an expressionless face. His head was like a spinning top, and he explained slowly and calmly:

"Three God Pillars? With only the level and strength of the Three God Pillars, it is impossible to defeat the gods who rule the earth."

"What?" Tiexuan was a little anxious, and stretched out his hand to grab the white coat in front of him: "Besides these three legendary Pokémon, what else do you have prepared for Devon Company? Zifuchi Hibiscus promised to solve the problem of Groudon, so I recommended him to join the headquarters..."

The person in charge struggled to break free from Tiexuan's hand, frowned in disdain, and spoke slowly and coldly:

"I don't know either. I am only responsible for maintaining the stability of the Three Pillars. In the original plan, the Three Pillars were just a tool to delay Groudon's movement."
