North of Liuli City.
Off the shore of an island with a dormant volcano, a gigantic submarine aircraft carrier floated.
Inside the aircraft carrier.
Archie, the boss of the Water Fleet, sat silently in his chair, his brows deeply furrowed as he looked at an ancient map spread out on the table.
He wore a blue battle uniform and a blue headband, his appearance was fierce, his beard sharply defined, resembling a pirate.
"What a pity..."
Archie tapped his fingers on the table, filled with regret.
The Water Fleet had gone to great lengths to find the trail of the super ancient creatures, who would have thought that the final location would be a volcano island rather than a regular sea island.
He had hoped it would be Kyogre enjoying a hot spring in the magma, not Groudon, that big dummy, sleeping.
"It's okay, Boss Archie, this is just the beginning."
Shelly, a redhead member of the Water Fleet, tossed a bottle of water to Archie.
"Right! For our dream!"
Taking the water, Archie became lost in thought.
Growing up in a drought-stricken area, his homeland was perennially in famine. There, Archie, forged by such an environment, was ultimately redeemed by Water-type Spirits. His homeland was saved by the power of Water-type Spirits, the people there survived because of them.
However, those Water-type Spirits died in the drought as they tried to change the environment.
Water, for them, was something unattainable.
From that moment on, Archie had an ideal and understood a truth.
Life originated in the ocean... It was only by increasing the ocean's expanse that one could breed the boundless possibilities of future life!
He wanted to transform the world into something close to his ideal.
He would use Kyogre's power to control the ocean, expanding the sea, and erasing the land from the world!
For humans and Pokémon, isn't this a wonderful and productive ideal environment?
It was precisely because of this ideal that the Water Fleet was locked in a relentless struggle with the Magma Team, who wanted "to use Groudon's power to expand the land."
"If possible, I'd really like to make Groudon, a creature that holds evil powers, disappear," Archie said after taking a sip of water.
In any case, as Shelly said, this time was not without gain.
Although the super ancient creature they found was not Kyogre, they had captured Groudon, which in a way, meant they had dealt a blow to the Magma Team.
"Groudon is an important bargaining chip for us against the Magma Team, Shelly, make sure someone keeps an eye on it!"
Shelly replied, "Don't worry, with Tide watching over it and the blockade facilities provided by the Larousse Group, there won't be any problems."
......
For now, Groudon, which had been fished out from the magma, was still sleeping soundly.
Although it felt the annoyance of flies scratching at it, it was too lazy to bother with them.
As a result, Groudon was restrained with high-tech facilities by the Water Fleet and transported to a warehouse within the aircraft carrier for supervision.
Outside the warehouse.
In addition to Tide, one of the Water Fleet officers guarding the place, there were dozens of Water Fleet elites.
Until Groudon was transported to the base, they could not let their guard down.
"How can we successfully rescue Groudon?"
A good distance from the warehouse, the undercover Handsome Mister from the Water Fleet was deeply contemplative.
In another 5 minutes, the aircraft carrier would dive and move, and he didn't know whether Lila could make it in time.
Even if she did, it would be tough going against two officers and Archie from the Water Fleet.
At least two Trainer of Four Heavenly Kings level would be needed to confidently take down these people.
What Handsome didn't know was this:
Right above him, Lila was riding a Blood Wing Dragon, while Fang Yuan rode a Dragonite, watching him.
"That must be your superior, right?" Fang Yuan said to the undercover agent Handsome.
Although the man was wearing a Water Fleet uniform, Fang Yuan still recognized him.
After all, he was an "old acquaintance" of Fang Yuan.
Handsome, an old NPC who had been in the games from Platinum, Black and White, X/Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, to Sun and Moon, had fought alongside the protagonist against many evil organizations, and Fang Yuan had long complained about this shameless codename.
Codename "Handsome," you're really something, uncle.
"Hey, Mr. Fang Yuan... you, you," Lila said nervously beside Fang Yuan.
You just flew over here, so blatant, not giving a damn about the Water Fleet?
The two of us now visible in the sky, that's too obvious...
Well... considering Fang Yuan dared to invade Rocket Team alone, Lila resigned herself to the fact.
Speaking of which, Mr. Fang Yuan wouldn't be thinking of a direct assault this time, would he?
She was feeling a bit nervous...
"Don't worry, no one can discover us right now, we are all enveloped by 'Illusion Technique.'" Fang Yuan chuckled,
"Illusion Technique??"
"Here," Fang Yuan pointed to the Eevee on his shoulder, saying, "It created it."
It wasn't just Eevee's power alone, nestled inside Victini also enhanced Eevee's power. At this moment Eevee's Illusion Technique was such that unless a Near-legendary Level Pokémon that was proficient in spiritual power sensed carefully, they could not be detected until they chose to reveal themselves.
"Bwoo!"
Eevee nodded earnestly with big eyes. Since the last time it used Illusion Technique to disguise and play games but was discovered by Du, it had thoroughly practiced the Illusion Technique.
Moreover, it had been boosted by Lil Victini, so if it were still discovered, it would mean the enemy was too powerful, and they wouldn't need to bother rescuing Groudon, they could just call for reinforcements.
"Eevee's Illusion Technique... is it really okay..." Lila still had deep doubts.
When she was skeptical, Fang Yuan tossed out a "Let's go down," and had already jumped off Dragonite, landing right next to the Handsome Guy, leaving Lila somewhat flabbergasted.
"!!"
Lila's stomach hurt, could you please show some respect to the Water Fleet? She was a bit unsure if inviting Fang Yuan here was a good thing or a bad thing."
"Blood Wing Dragon, we're going down too."
...
Before long, Lila was convinced that outsiders really couldn't detect them.
Dragonite and Blood Wing Dragon casually descended from the sky onto the aircraft carrier's deck, and she and Fang Yuan just casually walked up next to the Handsome Mister without him noticing anything at all.
A talented member of the International Criminal Police Organization, in the face of Illusion Technique, was as if they had lost their sight and hearing...
That's cheating... This level of Illusion Technique is too much of a cheat.
If there were people with such abilities in the International Criminal Police Organization, there probably wouldn't be any of these illegal organizations to worry about.
As Lila felt shocked, Fang Yuan instructed Eevee to remove the Illusion Technique.
"Um."
The next moment, as the Handsome Guy was patrolling in contemplation, two living people suddenly appeared beside him, scaring him quite a bit.
"!"
The Handsome Guy's eyes widened suddenly, but his professional training stopped him from shouting out loud.
Lila?
The Handsome Guy looked at Lila in confusion – how did you just appear like this??
At the same time, he also noticed Fang Yuan next to Lila, which confused him even more.
Since he had thoroughly investigated Fang Yuan before, he recognized him immediately, but he did not understand why Fang Yuan was also here.
However, there was no time for the Handsome Mister to think too much at this point.
"Quiet! Come with me."
The Handsome Guy quickly glanced around, confirmed that no one else had noticed, and spoke, wanting to take the two of them to a hidden place to hide first.
Lila also grabbed Fang Yuan and nodded quickly; even with the Illusion Technique, they should first go to a more concealed location to discuss strategies!
"Uh... okay."
...
Inside the aircraft carrier, in a monitoring blind spot filled with cargo.
Next to the huge boxes, Handsome Guy's heartbeat sped up as he leaned against the box and looked at the two of them, eager to ask what was going on.
"Mr. Fang Yuan is an external support I've called in!" Lila quickly explained.
The Handsome Guy glanced at her, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart, and did not ask how she had come across Fang Yuan. Now was not the time to ask these things.
"Since that's the case, we'll have to cooperate," the Handsome Guy said. "I already have a plan..."
"Is it complicated?" Fang Yuan asked.
The Handsome Guy replied, "A bit complicated."
Fang Yuan said, "Then let's not bother with all that trouble, I'll just take action and get rid of everyone here. That's simpler."
Handsome Guy, Lila: ???
The Handsome Guy's stomach ached with worry. Although Fang Yuan might be a very powerful Trainer, initiating combat directly was risky. If the enemy became desperate and woke up Groudon, that would be troublesome.
"No, we must avoid direct combat as much as possible!"
"Otherwise, waking Groudon would be dangerous!"
After the Handsome Guy finished speaking, Lila nodded frantically in agreement; that was the sensible line of thought.
"So, what you mean is, as long as the enemies don't discover us, we take them out in an instant before they realize what's happening, so they won't have time to awaken Groudon, then it's fine," Fang Yuan said.
Handsome Guy, Lila: ???
They didn't know if Fang Yuan had understood them or not.
"You have a way??" the Handsome Guy hesitated.
"Hmm, leave it to this one," Fang Yuan nodded.
The next second, a Pokémon resembling a shadow quietly emerged from Fang Yuan's shadow, looking at the Handsome Guy and Lila. On its shoulder, Lil Victini was sitting and even waved its hand symbolically, greeting the Handsome Guy and Lila.
"With Darkrai going all out, it can induce sleep in all life on an island in an instant. Taking on the Water Fleet will be no problem," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
At that moment, seeing Darkrai and Victini, Lila and the Handsome Guy's expressions stiffened, not quite comprehending.
Is that… the Phantom Pokémon, Darkrai, the Nightmare God??
And the Phantom Pokémon, the Star of Victory, Victini???
The two of them unconsciously gaped, not understanding how Fang Yuan had suddenly produced two such beings.
"As long as we quietly take out all the enemies, nobody will know we've stolen Groudon!" Fang Yuan stated earnestly.
"Hmm," Darkrai nodded, perfect.
"Bimi!! (The enemy, weak!)"
After speaking, Victini began to transfer power to Darkrai, and Darkrai, in turn, suddenly expanded the Nightmare Realm centered on itself!
At the same time.
Throughout the aircraft carrier, including Archie, Shelly, Creed, as well as countless Water Fleet subordinates and Pokémon, everyone started yawning, then "plop" "plop" one after another fell to the ground, sound asleep.
With a bewildered expression, three seconds later, Fang Yuan said, "Done, everyone on this aircraft carrier aside from us is now asleep."
Handsome Guy, Lila: ???
Handsome Guy: F*ck (a kind of plant), this is the Water Fleet! A large-scale illegal organization! Is it really that easy!!
Lila: How many Legendary Pokémon do you have, exactly!!
