CHAPTER 225: ARE WE GOING TO DIE?

Kyogre is one of the few Tier 1 legendaries among Pokemons.

It is fully deserving of being called one of the franchise’s strongest Pokemons.

It is also one of the Ancient Pokemons.

The Ancient Pokemons refer to the legendary trio—Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza.

Their abilities are all weather-related.

For example, Kyogre and Groudon are respectively the creators of the ocean and land, possessing the power to expand their domains.

According to Pokemon history, thousands of years ago during the ancient era, the world was brimming with natural energy.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre engaged in a prolonged battle to seize this energy.

Then, Rayquaza, representing the sky, descended to the surface and stopped them, causing Kyogre and Groudon to fall into deep slumber.

It is said that Kyogre is the incarnation of the ocean, wielding the power to control water.

In mythology, it is described as a Pokemon capable of submerging land with torrential rains and towering waves to expand the seas.

It can generate massive rainclouds capable of covering the entire sky, unleashing devastating downpours.

This power is even strong enough to flood entire continents to expand the ocean.

Legend states that a single swim by Kyogre can double the size of the sea.

Thus, Kyogre’s title as the Creator of the Seas is well-deserved—it is the undisputed oceanic deity of the Pokemons world!

Its appearance also reflects its marine nature.

Kyogre resembles a whale, with its design based on an orca.

It has two massive pectoral fins, each tipped with four white, square-shaped structures.

Its body is a deep blue, with a white chin and two white, pointed protrusions.

Above its eyes are two white oval spots, while its chin, eyes, fin backs, and torso are marked with red stripes.

When Kyogre is brimming with energy, these stripes glow brightly.

Kyogre’s tail splits into four ribbon-like structures, with the inner ribbons being smaller than the outer ones.

Its appearance is practically flawless—undeniably cool.

The only thing people ever comment on is its slightly large head, earning it the nickname Chubbyhead Fish.

Still, that’s better than its archrival Groudon’s infamous title, The One Who Can’t Fly.

Name: Kyogre (Primal Reversion in Progress)

Ability: Drizzle

Type: Water

Strength: SS+ to SSS- (Ascending)

Moves: Origin Pulse, Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Ancient Power...

As a Legendary Pokémon, Kyogre naturally possesses its own signature move: Origin Pulse!

Origin Pulse: Attacks the target with countless pale blue beams of shining light.

Though the description sounds simple, as a move with 110 base power, when unleashed by Kyogre, its effects are nothing short of cataclysmic.

Yet this wasn’t what truly caught Akira’s attention.

The most eye-catching detail was the words beside Kyogre: ’Primal Reversion in Progress!’.

Kyogre is one of the few Legendary Pokémon capable of further evolution, though its evolutionary path is rather unique.

This is known as Primal Form, a transformation exclusive to Kyogre and Groudon.

In the world of Pokemon, there are many forms of evolution with varying effects.

Some are widely accessible, like Mega Evolution and Dynamaxing.

Others are usable by only a select few, such as Primal Form and Bond Evolution.

Unlike Mega Evolution or Dynamaxing, Primal Reversion restores Kyogre and Groudon to their prehistoric forms.

In other words, their current strength is a diminished version of their true power.

Their original state from ancient times represents their full might.

Normally, to trigger Kyogre’s Primal Reversion and transform it into Primal Kyogre, it must hold the Blue Orb.

The Blue Orb is an item exclusive to Kyogre—a radiant orb glowing with indigo light.

It’s said to be deeply tied to the legends of the Hoenn region and contains immense ancient power.

Kyogre holding the Blue Orb undergoes Primal Reversion, becoming even more majestic in appearance and far surpassing its normal state in strength.

Its Ability also changes from the standard Drizzle to Primal Kyogre’s exclusive Primordial Sea.

Primordial Sea: When a Pokémon with this Ability enters battle, the weather becomes heavy rain.

However, unlike Genesect, Kyogre wasn’t born holding any item.

The information displayed in the Pokédex also solved several mysteries for Akira.

Akira had initially been puzzled—why had the Incubation Bar only reached halfway before Kyogre emerged?

Even now, with Kyogre present, the Incubation Bar hadn’t disappeared and was still slowly progressing.

Now, Akira finally understood: the Incubation Bar distinguished between Kyogre and Primal Kyogre.

When the bar reached 50%, Kyogre appeared.

Then, as the bar continued advancing, Kyogre would simultaneously progress towards its Primal form.

Presumably, once the Incubation Bar reached completion, Kyogre would fully transform into Primal Kyogre.

In essence, the Pokemon being incubated was Primal Kyogre—it had simply released its normal form midway through the process.

This made sense, as unlike Mega Evolution, Primal Reversion has no time limit or usage restrictions.

As long as it holds the orb, it can maintain this state indefinitely.

That’s why the original Kyogre was born.

Kyogre was also his first true Legendary Pokemon!

He already had mythical Pokemons like Marshadow and Genesect, while Nihilego was an Ultra Beast.

This newly born Kyogre was his first Legendary.

And his first Legendary happened to be a Tier 1 legendary—one of the Hoenn trio governing the oceans!

Kyogre, a frequent star across major movies and even games like Scarlet/Violet and Sword/Shield!

*****

"Are we really going to die here?"

Lilith collapsed onto the deck, her face as pale as paper under the influence of Chef Sammy’s words.

"I should’ve played a few more games with Old P..."

"I haven’t had enough gaming yet."

The mushroom-haired child, Pekotero, sat trembling beside Lilith, her small frame shaking uncontrollably.

Most had abandoned hope of survival.

There was only the terror of facing death!

The sea around them now teemed with colossal marine creatures, each radiating overwhelming vitality.

An invisible pressure enveloped the waters, thickening the air until breathing became laborious.

Countless auras clashed chaotically—some blazingly intense, others relatively subdued.

Yet everyone knew even the "weaker" presences far surpassed their capabilities.

There were twisted beings covered in giant eyeballs, their green flesh grotesquely pulsating.

Each eyeball matched a ship’s size, their combined mass rivaling mountains.

The mere sight triggered primal dread, horror rising unbidden from the depths of their souls.

Another monstrosity dripped with elongated corpse-hair, its face entirely veiled by strands revealing only shadow beneath.

The stench of rotting flesh clung to it, suggesting putrid meat beneath those hairy tendrils.

Then came a three-headed abomination, its enormous skulls crowning a luminous azure body.

Even glancing at it threatened to devour one’s sanity.

Compared to these nightmares, the initial giant squid now seemed almost... approachable.

These creatures defied all reason, each more bizarre than the last.

Most striking—and most powerful—was the draconic leviathan that had held Akira’s attention.

"So this... is the true danger of uncharted waters!"

"I underestimated it completely!"

Beyond muttered through clenched teeth, his hands futilely attempting fists before slackening again.

Only Akira remained standing unaided, while Ging and Beyond barely kept upright by leaning against walls.

Bombarded by countless oppressive auras, they could only stare wide-eyed, every word requiring Herculean effort.

He’d gravely underestimated these waters!

During Beyond’s prior voyage, the Guide had led them through obscure but safer routes.

Thus he’d never witnessed such horrors.

Not even the octopus monsters appeared during that smooth journey to the Dark Continent.

After extensive exploration, both Gatekeeper and Guide possessed meticulous knowledge of surrounding regions.

Especially regarding Mobius Lake, they knew exactly where the powerful sea beasts were and where they were scarce.

All of this was well understood and even marked on their maps.

It wasn’t until today that Beyond truly grasped the terror of the uncharted waters!

It wasn’t about their bizarre abilities or their massive size.

It was their sheer numbers!
