After all of that, Groudon exhaled, creating a mild ground environment, which was even more exhausting than triggering a volcanic eruption directly.
However, although mild, it was only so relative to itself; Groudon started getting devious, thinking that if Fang Yuan's Pokémon couldn't endure it, they couldn't blame it for not teaching them properly...
Huff———
When Groudon emerged from that spot on the ground, it looked even hotter than magma. The dark red earth shimmered with a ghostly light, and gusts of heat kept erupting from deep within the earth.
"Ba na———"
At this point, after Groudon had left that area, Venusaur looked at it with some annoyance. Although it hadn't approached yet, the rolling heat already gave it a premonition that if it stood there, it wouldn't even have a second to ponder before definitely getting scorched and fainting.
This round was a heavenly nemesis for Grass Type Pokémon!
The reaction of Venusaur made Groudon snort. The true power of the earth was not something that could be comprehended by just any Grass Type Pokémon.
Even for Fang Yuan's Rock Type Pokémon, also...
"Ao Woo!!!!!"
After connecting with the intense heat from deep within, Mane Rock Werewolf's eyes lit up even before Fang Yuan could remind it. It charged forward, leapt onto the surface in less than 0.1 seconds, and let out a severe cry of pain that echoed inside the volcano like the howling of a dog being slaughtered.
"Ao ao ao ao..."
While being scorched, Mane Rock Werewolf's body grew larger, but even so, the high-temperature energy from deep within the earth was still making it feel like dying of pain. However, at this very moment, Mane Rock Werewolf also felt incredibly exhilarated.
Not to mention the strength enhancement, the pain that felt even better than being beaten by the World Tree made it feel worth rolling around there.
Feeling its body begin to be strengthened by the earth, Mane Rock Werewolf soon showed a silly, happy smile that mixed excitement with pain.
Venusaur: "..."
Groudon: "..."
Groudon: Are you in pain or pleasure?
Eevee, Monferno, and other Pokémon also grinned. This damn masochist.
"Ba na——"
Seeing how bold Mane Rock Werewolf was, Venusaur eagerly looked at that area, asking Fang Yuan whether it also had to go there.
Pokémon of different types have different constitutions; it was a Grass Type, not like Mane Rock Werewolf!
After a pause, Fang Yuan said, "Forget about it. Groudon's application of Earth Power is the most violent one, communicating with the core of the earth... It's not suitable for you."
"Compared to that, the Earth Power used by the Landorus, the god of the farmland, to strengthen plants through earth manipulation, would be more suitable for you."
At that moment, Venusaur was glad it was just a gardener.
Although using the same Earth Power, Groudon's method was still different from other Ground Type Pokémon.
Groudon, for instance, excelled in offense, while Landorus excelled in abundance.
As a Grass Type Pokémon wanting to cultivate Earth Power, clearly the latter was more fitting.
"Ba na..."
In any case, upon hearing Fang Yuan say this, Venusaur breathed a sigh of relief. It certainly didn't have the masochistic tendency that Mane Rock Werewolf had.
"Roar!!! (Landorus?)"
Seeing Venusaur reluctant to come up, and Fang Yuan mentioning Landorus, Groudon's expression turned disdainful. Its way of using Earth Power was the ultimate path!
Why not just evoke a volcanic eruption with a stomp?
Although, admittedly… Venusaur might end up dying even more miserably after such an eruption.
However...
Mane Rock Werewolf really did end up impressing Groudon.
Groudon was surprised looking at the still rolling and howling dog. How long will you last?
If it could adapt to the temperature of this Earth Power, perhaps this dog really could regain one or two-tenths of the power of Precipice Blades, Groudon thought.
Next, out of curiosity, Fang Yuan began throwing in Eevee, Monferno, and others one by one to try it out.
Well, after staying for just one or two seconds, Eevee ran out grimacing. The pain was real pain, and the gain didn't justify the suffering, so it wouldn't stay! It only knew the Ground Type Technique Sand Splash, what was there to wait for!
Fang Yuan chuckled. He didn't intend for Eevee to switch types, purely wanted to scald Eevee for fun.
Monferno was the same, sweating profusely after a few jumps on that piece of ground and then coming out too. Though it wanted to become stronger, it wasn't stupid; it knew it had nothing to do with Earth Power, and Fang Yuan probably just wanted to see it make a fool of itself.
"Kaka Kaka Kaka!" At Fang Yuan's directions, the phone Rotom delightedly snapped several memorable photos of Eevee and Monferno getting scorched.
Only Mane Rock Werewolf remained, still in agony and ecstasy.
"Alright, let's not bother with it anymore... Groudon, next up… are the uses of Sun Power, Sunlight Power, and Land of Termination!"
"Roar——"
Groudon, still observing Mane Rock Werewolf, turned a dark look. Not even a break?
......
Groudon's control over solar power can almost be said to be unique in the Pokémon World.
Compared to Solgaleo, the embarrassed one only skilled in manipulating light but helpless against high temperatures, Groudon undoubtedly possessed all the methods of solar power.
In its normal state, Groudon holds the Drought ability, which can use strong light to dissipate rain clouds and dry up floods. After undergoing Primal Reversion, it begins to use the high temperatures emitted by its magma-like body to control weather changes, turning normal sunshine into intense sunshine, which is the characteristic of primal Groudon, Land of Termination.
Under such conditions, the intense heat can even dry up oceans, rendering Water-based Spells unusable. The only things that can resist the power of Land of Termination are Kyogre's Sea of Origin and Rayquaza's Delta Stream.
