Chapter 1134: The Fight for the Red Orb!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Don’t be fooled by the small size of these little cubes; they were extremely filling, making them perfect emergency food for a journey in the wilderness.
They were much better than things like Compressed Biscuits, as they were rich in all sorts of nutrients.
"And that's not all. I heard they can even boost some of a Pokemon's stats... even in the middle of a battle!"
Just then, Sawyer came over, holding a box of Pokéblocks he had made himself.
Depending on the type of Berries used, the combination, and the skill of the maker, the final products would not only differ in flavor and texture, but their effects would also vary drastically.
"For example, the Pokéblocks I made can make the Pokemon who eats them stronger... I estimate they can increase muscle strength by a certain degree during battle."
Sawyer tossed a few of his Pokéblocks into the mouth of the Treecko on his shoulder.
"They have that kind of effect?"
Ash was stunned. He took a few and stuffed them into Pikachu's mouth, observing the latter for any changes.
"Pika..."
However, aside from seeing Pikachu's little belly bulge slightly, there were no other changes.
"The Pokéblock recipes that have been developed so far can increase a Pokemon's Cuteness, Cleverness, Beauty, Coolness, and Toughness!" Blue explained with a smile.
Because of this, when talking about Pokemon in the Hoenn Region, you would often hear words like Cuteness and Cleverness.
The increase in these abilities wasn't just for gaining more attention in a Pokémon Contest; they also had some effect in battle.
For example, a high Cuteness stat could make a Pokemon's "Attract" move even more powerful.
A high Cleverness stat could allow a Psychic-type Pokemon to unleash even more powerful psychic power.
"And my Feebas~!"
Blue had already inquired with a veteran Pokéblock master here about the key to evolving her Feebas—Beauty!
As long as its Beauty reached the required standard, even a low-level Feebas could easily complete its evolution, transforming into the most beautiful Pokemon—Milotic.
And eating Pokéblocks that increase Beauty would dramatically shorten the time needed for this process!
However, things like Beauty and Cuteness were impossible to quantify.
Therefore, the method for evolving Feebas could only be put into practice; there was no definitive scientific data that could be written down in a thesis.
It was considered something of a community secret.
"Is that really how it works..."
Ash nodded repeatedly, his expression filled with amazement.
An image of a girl with short, orange hair suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, Misty should really make a trip here. Her Pokemon need to eat more Pokéblocks that increase Cleverness to give their brains a good boost."
Brock: "..."
*Is your only thought upon remembering an old friend to tell her to boost her Pokemon's brains?!*
The group didn't leave Lilycove City right away, instead choosing to stay the night.
Blue planned to participate in the Pokémon Contest tomorrow, and everyone naturally had to be there to cheer her on.
Especially since the prize for winning this time was a portable Pokéblock-making machine.
It was about the size of a frying pan with a lid and didn't take up much space.
It was said to be a new, revolutionary piece of tech invented just this year, a priceless item not yet available on the market.
Blue, who was eagerly awaiting her Feebas's evolution, naturally considered it already hers and began to actively prepare.
This time, even Brock's interest was piqued, and he also registered for the Lilycove City Pokémon Contest.
A machine like that could probably significantly improve his culinary skills!
"What's wrong, Ash? Aren't you going to participate?"
Sawyer, who was standing to the side, was still hesitating whether to join in as well, so he looked to his guide, Ash.
He didn't plan on participating in this year's Ever Grande Conference, so he had extra time for these other competitions.
"Uh, I'll pass..."
Ash thought for a moment, then shook his head.
There was a woman stirring up trouble everywhere from behind the scenes, and it was even possible that in the near future, they would witness a head-on battle between the God of the Land and the God of the Sea.
Kyogre versus Groudon...
"Hiss..."
Ash couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
One had to know, this was a legendary scene that had been depicted on murals a thousand years ago!
Although he knew that a battle between these two behemoths would inevitably cause disaster-level destruction, a part of Ash was secretly looking forward to this scene...
This gave Ash a considerable sense of tension, but there was nothing he could do about it right now... so he could only intensify his Pokemon's training.
At this moment, these guys were all in a stage of rapid strength growth; their power was different every single day.
In another half-month or so, they should basically all be able to complete their final evolutions.
"Then I'll help you with your special training!"
Sawyer's eyes lit up. He instantly forgot all about the Pokémon Contest and threw himself wholeheartedly into Pokemon training.
With every practice battle against Ash, he felt his own strength rapidly improving.
His Treecko was probably about to evolve into Grovyle soon...
Meanwhile.
In the waters east of Mossdeep City's island...
This was technically already the high seas, not within the domain of the Hoenn Region.
Chug! Chug! Chug...!!
At this moment, a medium-sized yacht was speeding across the sea surface, heading in the direction of the Hoenn Region.
On the deck, besides a few Sailors, were three or four men in white lab coats—Researchers.
They were the members of the Weather Institute who had been escorting the Red Orb all this way.
Of course, Gary had remained in the Unova Region and had not returned with them.
"Phew... we can finally see home..."
The Researcher who appeared to be the leader let out a long sigh of relief.
A Red Orb was still carefully stored in his backpack.
Due to Groudon's poor leg strength, it could only walk slowly in the ocean, so they had left it far behind.
But according to the radar, Groudon had already officially left the Unova Region's sea area and arrived in the high seas east of the Hoenn Region. It would probably arrive in the Hoenn Region a few days after them.
"Next, we just need to place this Orb in a hidden location on the Hoenn Continent and seal it away... Then the God of the Land will probably return to the magma within the earth's core and sleep peacefully again."
This was their purpose: to restore everything to its original state.
Splash! Splash! Splash!!
Splash! Splash! Splash!!
But in the next moment, the water around the yacht suddenly began to churn violently.
"CLANK...!!"
The yacht's underwater turbine engine seemed to get jammed by something. After a loud bang, the entire yacht came to a sudden halt.
"What the hell?!"
"What's happening?!"
It wasn't just the Researchers; even the escorting Sailors were completely baffled.
*Did we get caught on some seaweed?*
However, in the next instant, three dark shadows suddenly shot up from the sea surface, landing together on the yacht's deck.
They were three humans, both men and women, dressed in deep red uniforms.
"The God of the Land is about to devour the ocean. How could we let him just slumber in the magma of the earth's core~!"
Team Magma Executive Tabitha shook the water droplets from her body, looking at the lead Researcher with a mocking smile.
