At this moment, Kyogre was very happy.
The appearance of Fang Yuan gave it a sigh of relief.
In its prolonged struggle with Groudon, a balance had always been maintained between them.
Fang Yuan teaching Groudon a Z-Move undoubtedly broke this balance.
However, as long as it also learned that magical Flying Move from Fang Yuan, everything would be fine.
Kyogre's thought process was simple: If that idiot Groudon could learn it, there was no reason it couldn't—and definitely could learn it better and faster.
After all, when it came to flying, it was more experienced than Groudon to begin with.
"(#`O′) Roar!! (Welcome, envoy of Arceus!)"
Prince of the Sea: (๑✦ˑ̫✦)✨
Well now~
Welcome, welcome!
With Kyogre recognizing Fang Yuan's identity, the Prince of the Sea became even more excited.
It had a premonition that this time it was going to soar high.
Following the two big bosses might mean a complete renovation and luxurious upgrade to its temple!
"Hello, respected Ocean Creator."
At the same time, Fang Yuan greeted with one hand.
"Bwoo~!"
Eevee also bowed slightly in greeting.
"Roar~~!! (Don't be so formal, let's get down to business. I want to buy the principles behind Groudon's Flying!)"
Kyogre was eagerly fluttering its fins, as the natural energy eruption wasn't far off, it needed to act quickly.
Learn the principles, study on its own, and then decipher Groudon's tactics...
"Roar!~~ (Hmph, that big dumb Groudon thinks just because it learned to fly it can suppress me, that's too naive,)"
"Roar~~ (It should think about how much learning aptitude its brain full of magma could possibly have.)"
"Roar~~ (I estimate that the little bit Groudon learned, I can learn in one-tenth the time, a speed that dumbass can't even imagine.)"
Kyogre muttered to itself while analyzing its own abilities.
"Uh..."
Fang Yuan chuckled dryly.
Do all of you Ancient Creatures love to belittle each other behind backs?
Groudon belittles Kyogre behind its back, and Kyogre belittles Groudon... Really...
Fang Yuan could already feel his Master Ball at his waist getting hot, trembling and shaking with great effort.
Stop talking...
It seemed Old Solid had woken up and heard everything.
Fang Yuan gave an awkward but polite laugh, and then patted the Master Ball, trying to pacify Groudon.
Bearing little grievances is crucial to big plans.
Let Kyogre say what it wants.
The extortion of resources is what's important...
"Well now, well now~~ (Exactly, exactly, that guy Groudon looks like a low-intelligence Pokémon with all brawn and no brains.)"
"Well now!! (It's nothing compared to old Kyogre!!)"
Manafei, hearing Kyogre belittle Groudon, also squinted and joined in the belittlement in an attempt to suck up.
"We should really..."
Fang Yuan and Eevee gave a forced smile, not saying anything and just as they were trying to interrupt them to move to the main topic, Manafei got carried away with flattery.
"Well now~~ (I think that guy Groudon might just be a mutated Sandshrew!)"
"Roar~! (Don't insult Sandshrew, isn't it more handsome than Groudon?)" Kyogre retorted.
The sing-song exchange made Fang Yuan suspect they knew Groudon was right there!
Friggin' crap!
"Groudon!!"
At this point, having heard all of this, the Groudon in the Master Ball at Fang Yuan's waist could no longer hold back and directly came out on its own.
"Groudon!!! (Kyogre you bastard, how dare you talk behind my back!!!)"
"Roar!!! (And what the hell is this blue little Pokémon thinking, daring to insult me!!)"
With a "boom," Groudon burst forth from the Poké Ball and landed next to the Square of Sea, glaring at Kyogre and Manafei with a volcanic rage akin to an eruption.
At this moment, Fang Yuan patted his forehead, and Eevee's mouth twitched slightly.
Bringing Groudon along really shouldn't have been done, but they had no choice when Groudon insisted on coming.
And now... trouble ensued...
At this moment, Kyogre and Manafei were even more dumbfounded.
Seeing Groudon suddenly next to them, they both turned into wide-eyed expressions.
Wasn't it agreed there would be no traitor?
"Well... well now?"
With Groudon's appearance, the Prince of the Sea was stunned, why... why was Groudon here...
Did it just insult Groudon to its face??
Manafei nearly cried out of fear, it was just flattering behind backs, it didn't deserve an open execution.
Kyogre could provoke Groudon, but it couldn't...
"Bwoo!! (Dragonite thinks that's awesome.)" Eevee encouraged the Prince of the Sea, calling it a warrior.
"Roar!! (Is there anything wrong with what I said!!)"
Despite being frightened, Kyogre stood firm. Seeing Groudon appear for some unknown reason, it was briefly stunned before continuing to hurl even worse insults.
"Roar!!! (Millions of years and still can't fly, needing someone else to teach you, aren't you just the epitome of stupidity! Idiot! Idiot!)"
"Roar!! (Not only can I fly now, but I also fly faster than you, you useless fish, useless fish, useless fish!!!)"
"Roar—"
"Roar—"
The two Super Ancient Pokémon exchanged insults back and forth, spraying over a dozen retorts at each other within 5 seconds.
Their faces gradually turned red with anger, steaming mad, and they even seemed ready to come to blows.
Groudon conjured Precipice Blades, while Kyogre called upon the surrounding ocean currents to form whirlpools. At this moment, the entire Temple of the Sea was trembling as if about to collapse.
