Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"Roar!"

After confirming that the volcano had revived but was not yet at the point of eruption, Emperor Yan roared and ceased his energy output.

Pokémon such as Combusken and Slugma also followed the example of Emperor Ent.

Lu An patted the Vulcan Moth beside him: "Well done, Vulcan Moth."

"No~"

(′?`)v

Stroking the fire moth that was affectionately rubbing against him, Lu An casually flipped his hand and stored the red orb back in his system space.

Mikoli raised an eyebrow as she watched Lu An conjure and disappear the red orb as if by magic.

Lu An ignored Mikoli's turbulent thoughts and instead fell into deep contemplation.

In fact, he was willing to take a huge risk to take out the red orb, not only to fulfill Volcano's wish, but also for another reason.

As the three executives of Team Aqua stated, the transformation of the Chimney Volcano into an extinct volcano would disrupt the balance between land and sea in the Hoenn region, potentially creating an opportunity for Kyogre and Groudon to awaken.

To prevent the fathead fish and the flightless creatures from engaging in combat the moment they open their eyes, reviving Smoke Tower and restoring the previous balance between land and sea is a good solution.

Before communicating with the red orb, Lu An didn't know if he could successfully revive the volcano, nor was he sure if the red orb would seize his mind.

However, with champion Mikeli by his side, Lu An was not too worried about the latter.

After attempting to communicate with the red orb, he discovered that he did not feel any pressure from it. Instead, he sensed a continuous flow of energy, which relieved him of his worries.

The energy was immense, so immense that Lu An was completely confident in reviving Yanchushan; so immense that Lu An even suspected that it might not be the ancient power inherent in the red orb itself.

Instead, he communicated with Groudon, who was sleeping in the underwater cave, through the red orb!

In a very short time, Lu An came up with this possibility and became increasingly certain that what he guessed was very likely the truth.

In the original comics, after Groudon awakens, it uses the Red Orb to control Red Pine, summoning him directly from the underwater cave to Sootopolis City where Groudon is located.

This means that there must be a very close connection between the Red Orb and Groudon.

Some people may wonder, wasn't the original red gem located at Mount Songshen?

Isn't this the red gem that Lu An is holding, given to him by the system?

Can this be connected to Groudon?

In response, Lu An could only say...

Then let me ask you, is Groudon Groudon or Red Orb?

As long as they are in accordance with their respective roles, then you shouldn't ask too many questions.

It's just that the red gem landed in a different place.

In short, since Groudon can contact Crimson Pine using the red orb after waking up, it's not surprising that Lu An could steal some of Groudon's energy while it was asleep, right?

After all, the three executives of Team Aqua had previously stated that Kyogre would awaken before Groudon after the Chimney became an extinct volcano.

Therefore, Lu An and Yan Di's actions in reviving the volcano were essentially an attempt to balance the relationship between the two gods of the sea and land.

In other words, Lu An's move was essentially using Groudon's energy to save Groudon himself!

Even if Groudon were awake, it would probably agree to this, right?

So Lu An unceremoniously appropriated this portion of Groudon's primal power and released it into the volcano.

With the primal power of the Earth God, reviving a volcano that died due to external energy would be far too easy.

And so things ended up like they are now:

Emperor Yan thwarted the naval fleet's plot;

Yanchu Mountain has come back to life;

The residents of Fuyan Town woke up to find that nothing had happened.

Asha protected Fuyan Town and contributed her efforts;

Safia has once again thwarted the Aqua team;

Mikkelsen doesn't need to take responsibility for the Chimney Mountain incident.

Even the fleeing navy reaped a great harvest.

Although they left behind Professor Solans, the Gulan meteorite, and a number of important members of the Aqua Fleet, including Quan and Chao.

But they probably still think they've successfully completed their mission of "stopping volcanic activity"!

They were absolutely certain that Kyogre would awaken before Groudon.

Their fleet is one step closer to their ideal of dominating Hoenn and spreading the ocean across the entire continent!

Who says that the art of mental victory isn't a kind of victory?

It was truly a win-win situation for everyone.

Lu An nodded in satisfaction. After calculating, it seemed that he was the only one among those present who hadn't gained anything yet.

However, he never forgot his original purpose in coming to Hoenn: to find a cure for Eevee's genetic disease.

And now this method is right there beside him, standing there fresh and clean, not yet gone.

Perfect timing, things are almost all settled, it's time to have a chat with Emperor Yan.

While Safia and Aysa were still peering into the crater, grinning foolishly at the churning lava, Lu An strode towards Entei and Suicune, taking the two Eevee with him.

Emperor Yan had just finished a battle with the water fleet and pumped a large amount of energy into the volcano, so he was at his weakest point.

Upon seeing Lu An approaching, both Emperor Yan and the Water Lord tensed up.

"Roar!"

"Fura!"

It's no wonder the two sacred beasts looked so wary; Lu An had left such a deep impression on them.

Look at what Lu An has done in just half a day today.

First, he fought against the two sacred beasts single-handedly and was not at a disadvantage at all.

They then used only three Pokémon to wrest the weather from Team Aqua in the crater, and later left behind many Team Aqua members.

Finally, it even caused the Yantu volcano, which even the Yan Emperor could not save, to become active again.

Any one of these three things, if spoken aloud, would convince other trainers to say:

You're pretty good!

With such impressive battle records before them, it's no wonder that the two legendary beasts seemed a little nervous when they saw Lu An approaching them with two Pokémon.

After all, judging from his appearance, even if he said he wanted to take advantage of the Flame Emperor's weakness to subdue the two sacred beasts in one fell swoop, I'm afraid no one would doubt it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fire Moth, whose strength was clearly a level above Lu An's, hadn't followed him, the two sacred beasts might have already run away like the Thunder God.

Even so, the two sacred beasts remained extremely alert, looking ready to make a run for their lives at any moment.

Lu An was both amused and exasperated, and quickly took out the rainbow feather he had obtained from the system.

Legend has it that if the Rainbow Feather is held by an evil person, it will lose its luster. But now that it is in Lu An's hands, the Rainbow Feather is exceptionally holy.

Clearly, this was Lu An trying to curry favor with the two sacred beasts under the Phoenix King's throne.

Although these feathers weren't plucked from Ho-Oh's body.

However, after seeing the rainbow feather in Lu An's hand, the two sacred beasts relaxed considerably, and even their gazes towards Lu An softened.

Seeing this, Lu An quickly said:

"Emperor Yan, I have come to ask you for help."

A hint of doubt flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.

Entei was actually quite curious about this trainer named Lu An.

His Pokémon possessed strength comparable to his own, and he received help from them during the battle against Team Aqua.

In saving the volcano, Lu An even used Groudon's primal power to successfully revive it.

What's more, he has now taken out the feather of the one they follow.

Therefore, under various factors, Emperor Yan actually held a certain degree of approval for Lu An.

But given his abilities, why would he need its help?
