This is... the supreme ruler of the earth...!!!
"Roar— (What the hell!!!)" In its bewilderment, Xiduolanen was pierced and smashed into the ground by the falling Precipice Blades with a "bang." In an instant, the area erupted like a volcano's mouth, spewing dazzling magma and enveloping everything in terrifying smoke!!!
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
The second Ditto finished transforming, even the Kapu family's jaws dropped.
Although Ditto's power was still utterly insignificant compared to that being, the way the power was used, as well as the nature of both parties' powers, were almost identical.
How could this be!!!
"This is... the Creator of the Earth, Groudon!!!!"
After the full appearance of Ditto's transformation target, everyone who had just been enlightened by President Antonio and drone Rotom about the power of Legendary Pokémon were stunned by the monster before them.
No, it was not Groudon, but Doctor Fang Yuan's Ditto that had transformed into Groudon?!!!
The Trainers' eyes widened at the sudden turn of events, looking at the Xiduolanen pierced into the ground, speechless.
How could Ditto possibly transform into a Legendary Pokémon!!?!!
Doesn't it need to see the target first in order to transform?
Even if it saw the target, it couldn't transform perfectly, right? It's difficult for Ditto to transform into Legendary Pokémon; this has been studied before. Attempts have been made to get Ditto to transform into beings like Moltres, but they were never successful in copying the power of a Legendary Pokémon.
Even the Pokémon like Moltres couldn't be transformed perfectly, let alone Groudon, which even in myths and legends, had the absolute strength to exist as an ancient life form with a dominant presence throughout history.
So far, human understanding of Groudon should only be limited to legends, right?
But why...
Most importantly, after transforming, Ditto was not just an empty shell. The power demonstrated by Groudon just now, in suppressing the Legendary Pokémon Xiduolanen, seemed to be that of the true ruler who had created countless continents and volcanos, terribly powerful. Although both are Legendary, Xiduolanen simply could not compare in strength.
This was an overwhelming difference in life levels.
Xiduolanen came into being due to an accidental dispute between the Time-space Twin Gods, whereas Groudon's level of life is not necessarily lower than the Twin Gods!
Because of this, at this moment, countless people were astoundingly shocked, gazing in awe at everything that was unfolding before them.
"I..." Chairman Albert's expression was one of total confusion.
Wait, wait, something's wrong with this script; this is Ditto?!!!
While everyone was extremely shocked, with a thunderous noise, Xiduolanen struggled out of the ground with its battered body of steel, apparently not killed in one blow.
Being a Pokémon that lived in a volcano, it still had some resistance against the power of lava.
"Roar—"
After emerging, Xiduolanen gazed at the giant beast before it, utterly astonished, even though it knew the opponent was a fake.
A moment later, as it felt its injuries, it took an action that surprised everyone.
"Xiduolanen... Xiduolanen has actually admitted defeat and is asking Ditto to teach it the power of Groudon, Rotom!!!!!"
The drone Rotom translated in shock—had it actually admitted defeat?!!
In the France Preparation Zone, Carlos and Di Anxi, who had never intended to compete with Fang Yuan for resources from the start, couldn't help but show a look of approval upon seeing someone admit defeat.
"Admit defeat???" Chairman Albert was dumbfounded.
You don't want the Volcanic Town Stone anymore??
"Roar— (What Volcanic Town Stone? That's just rotten fish.)"
The stone was merely tinged with part of Groudon's power. But Ditto, it could feel, was able to use Groudon's power almost perfectly!!!!
Xiduolanen almost knelt down; it was the supreme ruler of the earth, after all.
This Ditto definitely had something to do with the real Groudon; it could very well be an illegitimate child.
It wanted to change who it was following!!!
"Roar!!! (We'll talk about this later.)" Ditto·Groudon responded noncommittally.
"You've admitted defeat?" Fang Yuan was surprised; he had thought he would have to battle it out with the German Association, but it seemed Xiduolanen wasn't that closely connected to them after all…
"So, are you still challenging me?" Fang Yuan looked towards Chairman Albert from Germany.
"What exactly... why... why is this?" Chairman Albert's worldview was shattered.
"Hm... About transforming into Groudon, you mean? Because of the prophecy by Master Zi Wan, I conducted some research on all of the Legendary Pokémon. Ditto helped out usually, and after some research, it just learned how to transform." In a sense, Fang Yuan wasn't lying.
Having said that, as if to prove a point, "Groudon" glowed white,
The next second, with a thunderous cry echoing through the island, another form was completed through Ditto's transformation.
Now, Ditto could transform into Legendary Pokémon without needing items after becoming skilled, although transformations without items offered more power anyways. It couldn't mimic the opponent's unique powers, but this too was a form of growth.
It was precisely because of this growth that Fang Yuan felt assured in letting it attempt to transform into a Cosmic Battleship.
At this moment, everyone was unusually quiet, their gazes filled with shock and disbelief.
It was a blue and black deer.
This massive deer, with eight horn-like branches covered in a myriad of colored protrusions that coiled around and glittered, had a body that, along with its antlers, formed a large "X". It radiated a dazzling array of colors.
It was none other than Zhenyas, the one that had saved France before.
Its eyes conveyed kindness yet also a sense of superiority, a contradiction that seemed to place it in an entirely different dimension from ordinary life.
Upon its arrival, the natural plants that the Kapu family had just brought back to life, the plants that had narrowly survived the intense sunlight, instantly had their life force absorbed by the Zhenyas transformed by Ditto, to replenish its physical strength.
The key wasn't showing off with the transformation, but rather, recovering some physical strength as Auntie Deer in its transformed state!
"The God of Life... Zhenyas...?!!!"
In the France Preparation Zone, countless Trainers widened their eyes, and Master ZI Wan's face was full of shock.
This...
This transformation seemed to be the last straw for Chairman Albert's heart.
He saw that Xiduolanen had completely lost the will to fight, and he himself had lost it too.
It was simply preposterous.
Is this really Ditto???!!!
"I surrender, we won't continue to challenge the arena..." Chairman Albert spoke with heartache, a stomach ache, and a face ache.
If Xiduolanen himself had given up on competing for the Volcanic Town Stone, what was there left for them to fight over?!
It was simply magical.
At this moment, President Antonio was also in utter silence.
[Dream gene, huh... and it's almost perfectly mastered it.] The Kapu family was also in complete silence.
The weakest but still a Top Guardian God, Ditto, capable of transforming into any High-ranking Legendary Pokemon at will!
At this moment, Trainers from all the national associations were green with envy.
Ditto... can be trained to such a degree???
Just by following Doctor Fang Yuan and researching Legendary Pokémon, you can transform into one???
Another "Legendary Researcher"?!!!
"..." Inside the Hua Nation, Principal Mo and his wife exchanged glances.
Then, they began to search for their medicine because of their weak hearts.
Is this still considered a support Pokémon???!!!
"Damn, Doctor Fang Yuan has studied Legendary Pokémon too?!"
The Trainers from all over the Hua Nation were impressed once again.
Although Ditto had only shown off its ability for a moment, the immediate suppression of Xiduolanen had made its power crystal clear.
For that instant, even the top Guardian Gods and quasi-legendaries from various countries were extremely wary, as if they had witnessed the return of the true lord of the land.
This was a more terrifying monster.
The people in the Hua Nation Preparation Zone had never expected Fang Yuan's third Pokémon to be such a competitor.
"Is there any other country that wants to challenge?"
After regaining his composure, President Antonio continued to ask.
But obviously, the more Fang Yuan revealed, the more hesitant the heads of these national associations became.
For a moment, silence fell yet again.
The responsible persons from the Russia, America, and Japan Preparation Zones, after careful consideration, decided to focus their main forces on competing for the resources they needed, choosing to avoid a head-on clash with Fang Yuan for the time being.
They would "give" Doctor Fang Yuan face in hopes of acquiring some Legendary materials from him in the future...
No one challenges! After all, it was Groudon's resource, and if you transform into Groudon to guard it, who can stand against that?
"Three straight dominations..."
For a moment, those watching the battle of the gods fell into silence upon seeing Fang Yuan's figure.
"He's not planning to keep guarding the arena, is he?!!!!"
