Believing he had seen through the Crimson Orb's plan, the Indigo Orb did not hesitate at all. The very first thing it did was unleash the Kyogre form, turning into a streak of blue light and shooting straight into Axel's brow.
At the same time, through the special method unique to the two orbs, it left a message for the Crimson Orb, 'Got there first. This is what a professional looks like!'
Crimson Orb: "???"
Axel felt his mind explode with a boom, his consciousness involuntarily entering a sea of mental power.
At the center of that sea, a blue orb floated in the air, extending spiderweb-like threads as if it wanted to take control of the entire mental ocean.
Axel blinked, feeling very much like one of those "brain massagers" from his past life rubbing against his head.
Tingly and numb, unbearably itchy, yet somehow comfortable at the same time.
The Indigo Orb instantly froze.
It discovered in horror that it couldn't control Axel's mind at all.
Axel's sea of mental power was vast beyond measure, completely comparable to some Psychic-type Pokémon that specialized in mental power.
Let alone itself. Even if Kyogre's true body came, it would be utterly impossible to control Axel.
The Indigo Orb immediately realized that it had fallen into the Crimson Orb's trap. It hurriedly retracted the blue threads it had released, turned back into a streak of light, and tried to escape from Axel's mind.
That sea of mental power was boundless. It flew for a long time before finally reaching the edge.
Just as the Indigo Orb let out a sigh of relief, something even more outrageous happened.
When its body collided with the boundary of the sea, the imagined scene of easily breaking through the barrier did not occur. Instead, it felt like a bouncy ball slamming into a hard wall, getting violently bounced back.
The Indigo Orb's thoughts went completely blank. After it reacted, it fell into silence.
It freaking… went back in again.
Seeing the Indigo Orb's reaction after entering his mind, Axel felt that the thing posed no threat to him. He then controlled his spirit to withdraw from the sea of consciousness and looked again at the Crimson Orb in his hand.
"Why did it run into my head?"
Crimson Orb: "..."
Damn it. He originally didn't want to expose his method of use. The plan was to run away later when there was a chance.
Who would have thought that the blue idiot orb would just throw itself into the trap.
The Crimson Orb organized its words and cautiously said, ["If I told you that you've already been chosen by Kyogre as its master, and that it's destined that you can no longer capture Groudon, would you be very angry and throw me away hard?"]
Axel thought seriously for a moment, "Then if I let Giratina throw you and Groudon into the Distortion World and rub you around a bit, would you be very angry?"
As his words fell, Giratina, hidden within the Distortion World, immediately revealed its form. A phantom dragon shadow swept past in front of the Crimson Orb, leaving it staring blankly once again.
'What the hell is going on?'
'I just slept for a while. Are legendary Pokémon these days really this shameless?'
'Giratina, where did your temper go?'
["Wait, I'll tell the truth!"], The Crimson Orb immediately changed its tune, its voice turning flattering.
["The Indigo Orb wants to control you, make you release Kyogre, and take the chance to expand the oceans."]
["What it's doing is trying to turn you into a puppet. I'm the good orb here!"]
"Oh?", Axel blinked. Thinking back to the Indigo Orb's reaction just now, it did seem like the Crimson Orb wasn't lying.
"Then how do I control you two? Don't lie. I've got a pretty strong Gardevoir here."
"If you lie, I'll let you experience what 'two dragons playing with an orb' really means."
The Crimson Orb froze, 'What the hell is two dragons playing with an orb?'
Seeing through its thoughts, Axel grinned and took out a Poké Ball containing the black and white dragons.
The voices of the two dragons immediately rang out from within the ball, roaring one after another, competing to show Axel their loyalty.
["I am the Dragon of Truth, Reshiram. Being controlled by my master is your honor!"]
["I am the Unova Dragon God, Zekrom. If you don't follow my master, even if you undergo Primal Reversion, I'll pin you in an ice cave and suppress you together with Kyurem!"]
Crimson Orb: "..."
Although it was just an orb, at its core it possessed part of Primal Groudon's memories.
After hearing the roars of those two, its first reaction was that the world had gone mad.
'Since when did Zekrom become the Unova Dragon God?'
"And pin Kyurem down and rub it around…'
'You tell me, does that make any sense?'
'And also, what's with all of you following this guy named Axel?'
'The Gardevoir and Pheromosa next to him are indeed strong, but not to the point where so many gods would follow him, right?'
If it were just one legendary Pokémon getting along with Axel and being willing to follow him, the Crimson Orb could still understand it.
But the current situation was that the number of legendary Pokémon Axel had gathered was already comparable to an entire region!!!
No, add in the soon-to-be-fallen Kyogre that Axel was about to forcibly NTR, and the number of legendary Pokémon around Axel had already exceeded a region.
The Crimson Orb suddenly began to worry about its and Groudon's future situation. If Kyogre followed this guy, that would be a full four legendary Pokémon.
Then Groudon wouldn't need to expand the land at all. It could just retire.
'So… maybe I should follow this guy too?'
Anyway, after Primal Reversion, it and Groudon would turn into livestock with no real thoughts. Living under someone else wouldn't even feel uncomfortable.
'It is better than getting beaten up, right?'
Thinking this way, the Crimson Orb didn't even discuss it with Axel. It suddenly turned into a streak of light and shot straight toward Axel's brow.
Axel's mouth twitched. His right hand shot up and grabbed the Crimson Orb again, planning to interrogate it properly before letting it go in.
Even if he wasn't afraid of the danger of these two orbs, at the very least he needed to know how to use them to control Kyogre and Groudon in the future, right?
But before he could even open his mouth to question it, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed from within the cave. Extreme heat and bone-chilling cold appeared at the same time.
"These orbs are an indispensable part of Mt. Ember. No one is allowed to take the two orbs from here!"
"No one is allowed to take these two orbs!"
The moment that roar rang out, the Crimson Orb immediately stopped moving and looked joyfully toward the tunnel connected to the stone chamber.
'Right! How could I forget about that thing?'
'With this guy around, there might still be a chance.'
'Indigo Orb, you can go be happy on your own.'
Taking advantage of Axel being distracted and looking toward the entrance, the Crimson Orb once again turned into a fiery red beam and shot rapidly toward the doorway.
"Giratina!"
Axel frowned slightly. A dragon shadow that constantly shifted between illusion and reality immediately appeared along the Crimson Orb's escape path, opened its jaws, and precisely caught the Crimson Orb in its mouth.
["You're courting death!"], That domineering voice rang out again, drawing closer like rolling thunder.
A trace of anger flashed through Giratina's dark-golden pupils. Who did this guy think he was, daring to curse at him?
"Roar!"
With a thunderous roar, a massive gateway opened behind Giratina. Power from the Distortion World poured wildly into his body, instantly converting into ghostly energy, turning his eyes into bottomless black.
In the next instant, strange light flared over Giratina's body. Black light powerful enough to cover the entire passage shot straight toward the stone chamber entrance.
Maximum-power Shadow Ball, Shadow Ball Promax!
["Just as expected of someone from the evil camp!"], A Pokémon entirely crimson red, resembling both a lion and a scorpion, appeared at the cave entrance.
It smashed through the rock wall, barely dodging Giratina's attack. Its voice carried anger mixed with a hint of fear.
Even though it had never seen Giratina before, Volcanion had long heard of Giratina's name. This was a god personally created by Arceus!
It was hard to imagine that Giratina would actually intervene in human affairs, and even more so that it would look so obedient.
The moment he saw this Pokémon, Axel narrowed his eyes.
On its back, two jet devices formed a ring, dotted with blue circles. Gurgling sounds came from its body, as if it might explode at any moment.
The only Fire plus Water type Pokémon in the Pokémon world, the Mythical Pokémon that commanded water vapor, Volcanion.
