Chapter 330: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [330] [50 PS]
Looking at the battered and unsteady Groudon, Steven should have felt relieved. After all, if Groudon was dealt with, only Kyogre remained, and Hoenn's crisis would be resolved.
But the overwhelming power the Tech Hunter displayed during his battle with Groudon and Kyogre left Steven unable to celebrate.
Groudon and Kyogre may have caused untold damage to Hoenn, but their destruction was unintentional, born of their very nature.
The Tech Hunter, on the other hand, was a deliberate adversary of the Hoenn League.
As Steven wrestled with his worries, on the battlefield, Kyogre faced its own concerns.
Kyogre had watched Groudon's defeat in its entirety.
In the past, it might have been glad to see its rival taken down—it would mean no competition for natural energy.
But now, Kyogre and Groudon were on the same side.
With Groudon neutralized, it was clear who would be next.
Unlike Groudon, Kyogre was more strategic, already calculating its next move.
Meanwhile, for the first time, Rayquaza felt what it was like to have allies.
