Chapter 664 - Chapter 175: Natsuhiko vs. Groudon...Phantom

The Unown are actually quite adept at causing trouble.

The more of them gather, the stronger their ability to stir up trouble becomes.

Natsuhiko remembers they once conjured a Phantom Entei, and it even had self-awareness and an exceptionally strong combat ability.

This time, the Groudon they've concocted obviously lacks self-awareness, greatly inferior.

Probably related to not having enough numbers gathered.

However.

No matter how lacking in awareness, it's still a Groudon!

An Ancient Divine Beast!

Can the Unown truly control it?

The suddenly appeared rift and the feeble state of the Unown indicate it's already out of control.

Still.

Natsuhiko wonders, why choose Groudon among all Divine Beasts?

If the Unown knew Natsuhiko's doubts, they would certainly cry and tell him: It's all your fault.

They merely intercepted what Natsuhiko feared most in his mind, how could they know it was Groudon?

Had they known it was Groudon, they wouldn't have considered using this method to see whether it was Natsuhiko or they who had the issue.

The fact proves.

It's Natsuhiko who has the issue.

Who else would idly think about Groudon?

However.

Natsuhiko didn't want to either.

It's because Darkrai had been visiting his dreams frequently, though it initially used Giratina. Since Natsuhiko had seen Giratina before and knew it was trapped in the Destroyed World, he wasn't worried.

But the last time, Darkrai told him that Groudon was about to awaken.

That was different.

After all, Groudon was possible to appear, whereas Giratina wasn't. Besides, Darkrai even tasked him with notifying the "Meteor People," which made Natsuhiko constantly worried about Groudon's awakening.

Moreover, he had fragments of Original Groudon's shell on him. Who knows if after Groudon's revival, it would sense these fragments and come for him.

So, the fact that the Unown created a Phantom Groudon was purely coincidental.

However.

It made Natsuhiko realize one thing.

The dangerous existence of Unown...

Better keep it under his own control.

To prevent it from causing trouble for others.

After all, who else will enter Hell, if not me?

Natsuhiko's heart is just that "noble."

But.

The primary issue now is perhaps this fully materialized Phantom Groudon.

"Chakyi!!"

The Togekiss and Alakazam arrived late, flying to Natsuhiko's side, looking at the Groudon in the valley below, quite astonished.

What is that?

So huge.

The Chimchar wrapped in Alakazam's psychic power bared its teeth, gently tapping its finger against its teeth.

Just complaining about itchy teeth, missing something to pick its teeth with.

Rumble——

Suddenly, the Phantom Groudon began to move.

With heavy steps, the ground sank significantly, and various sized cracks spread around its feet.

Accompanying the ground fissures, fiery lava oozed from the cracks, encircling Groudon's side.

Natsuhiko wondered what would happen if he left it here unattended.

After all, in the original story, a fake Groudon had appeared. Someone had created a false Groudon using Jirachi's millennium-silent Wish Star power, causing considerable damage to the Pokémon Realm at the time.

But this isn't the Pokémon Realm.

And Natsuhiko is even less certain of how to stop this thing.

Driving Latios, he flew towards a few of the Unown below.

These guys created it, they should know.

Whir——

Latios stirred a fierce airflow.

Seeing Natsuhiko approach, the Unown gathered together, displaying a cautious demeanor.

Natsuhiko slightly mobilized his psychic abilities.

Using telepathy, he connected with the Unown.

The Unown didn't seem surprised by Natsuhiko's psychic abilities.

"I say, the mess you made, shouldn't you clean it up?"

Natsuhiko said, somewhat irritably.

"Oss oss!"

Latios nodded vigorously.

Natsuhiko had said that if one makes a mistake, they must acknowledge it, rectify it, and make amends.

They must admit their mistakes, correct them, and restore the situation.

Latios had paid attention during lessons.

Hearing this, the Unown looked at each other, seeming at a loss.

"At least send a representative to talk, right?"

This time, the Unown did not choose silence. An Unown shaped like the letter "P" slowly came forward.

With telepathy, a somewhat youthful boy's voice, with a hint of fatigue, echoed in Natsuhiko's mind.

"That is a manifestation of what your subconscious fears and worries."

Natsuhiko was startled, his brows slowly furrowing.

"Did you read my mind?"

He was very wary of such actions; if the Unown truly did this, then perhaps...

The letter "P" immediately shivered, feeling a moment of fear.

Quickly shook its body, "No, no, we only intercepted your fear."

"Why do that?" Natsuhiko still wasn't about to give up questioning.

"I... you..." the Unown stammered, unsure of how to explain.

They have existed for a long time, but have not truly experienced many events, often making choices unconsciously.
