"I think, Rayquaza's interference in your struggles must have caused you some losses, to some extent."
Groudon and Kyogre's expressions tensed.
Of course, there were many times Rayquaza put them to Rest for hundreds of years, completely missing the bursts of Natural Energy.
Or it was that mysterious particles released by Rayquaza's body suppressed the eruption of Natural Energy...
And the most infuriating incident was when Rayquaza knocked them out and they lost their Coveted Red/Blue Pearls used for Primal Reversion.
It could be said that without Rayquaza, the gains they secured after their struggles could have been significantly enhanced!
Therefore, Groudon and Kyogre also held a deep grudge against Rayquaza, their teeth itching with hatred.
This flying green Caterpie, how hateful —
"So, it's clear that the struggle to snatch Natural Energy is easily disrupted by Rayquaza, and the Natural Energy you gain is less than what you'd get by splitting it equally. Why keep fighting!"
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!"
Groudon, Kyogre gave a snort and looked at each other, share equally?
Sharing that little Natural Energy with this idiot in front of them? Impossible.
Dividing the Natural Energy would still not sustain Primal Reversion for long, they must utterly defeat the opponent to possess the right to harness Natural Energy!!
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!"
The two Pokemon stared down each other, nearly breaking into a fight again.
Fang Yuan slapped his forehead, what a tough situation.
"You've been fighting for hundreds of millions of years, aren't you tired? Even if you started as natural enemies, having fought so long, there should be some bonds by now..."
"How good would it be to become friends."
"Roar!!! (Who would be friends with them!)" x2
Groudon and Kyogre glared at each other angrily again, but funnily enough, through the long struggle, the two Ancient Creatures had indeed developed a good Emotion for one another.
After all, apart from Rest, their lives consisted of fighting each other, and such a rivalry has continued for hundreds of millions of years, now deeply ingrained.
Fang Yuan said, "So when it comes down to it, it's all because of an unequal distribution of Natural Energy."
"If there were a way for you to have abundant Natural Energy and undergo Primal Reversion anytime, anywhere, could you then stop fighting?"
"Roar!!! (How could there be such a method?!)"
The previous words of Fang Yuan went unheard by the two Ancient Creatures, but this sentence caught their attention.
"There is a way. Do you remember, when you first practiced Primal Reversion, you accumulated massive amounts of Natural Energy from the primal state of the planet and gathered it into two Treasure Beads?"
"These two Treasure Beads, could they not easily support your Primal Reversion?"
Groudon and Kyogre's pupils shrank.
"You seem to believe that these Treasure Beads were destroyed or taken by Rayquaza, but what if I told you they still exist on this planet, and with them, you could perfectly undergo Primal Reversion whenever and wherever you wish?"
"If you acquire the lost Treasure Beads, the natural energy that erupts every thousand years, even if you share it between yourselves, won't affect much in the short term, right?"
"Roar!!! (You know where that bead is??)" x2
Groudon and Kyogre widened their eyes, looking at Fang Yuan with urgency in their tone.
Impossible, does that bead still exist??
"I have a lead on it. If things go well, I can help you retrieve your respective beads," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
As Fang Yuan finished speaking, Kyogre and Groudon became completely excited.
It was like a beggar suddenly finding his lost millions in cash.
If they could find the bead that would allow them to revert to their primal forms and regain their full strength, what need was there to fight?
"You two just need to promise me that if you get the beads, you won't engage in large-scale fights, and then I'll help you find them," Fang Yuan said, grinning.
"Of course, I'm not saying you can't fight at all. You can have small skirmishes, just like before!"
"Besides, once you get the beads and your powers are mostly restored, instead of fighting, it's better to train and then attack Rayquaza together. It has suppressed you for so long; it's time for a change of fortune, right?"
"Look, the natural energy inside the beads will definitely last you a long time. For a long while, you won't lack natural energy. During this time, isn't it more meaningful to focus on intense training and improving your strength rather than engaging in meaningless fights?"
"That way, even if you lack natural energy again in a few hundred million years, when Rayquaza intervenes, you won't be as passive as before. Just use Precipice Blades or Origin Pulse to chase away Rayquaza first. The issues between you brothers shouldn't always be interfered with by outsiders, right?"
"I can also come up with ways to help you both increase your strength and set up a training plan specifically targeted at Rayquaza!!"
After hearing what Fang Yuan had to say, Groudon and Kyogre thought it over and were then overwhelmed with a surge of emotions.
Yes, if they could resolve the fundamental issue of natural energy, there wouldn't be much conflict between them in the short term.
Instead, they could take the time to figure out how to deal with the third party.
Uniting against a common enemy, coming up with ways to tackle Rayquaza who had suppressed them for hundreds of millions of years, seemed indeed much more exhilarating.
After all, every time they fought, it ended in a draw, but Rayquaza always crushed them. They had wanted to take their frustrations out on it for a long time.
"Roar!!! (Can you really retrieve the Red Beads?)" Groudon asked.
"Roar!!! (If you really can find the bead, we'll talk!!)" Kyogre also chimed in.
"Bwoo…" Seeing this, the Prince of the Sea was utterly shocked. As expected of a great deity, he could make Kyogre and Groudon coexist peacefully.
"Leave it to me!!!"
Fang Yuan was also relieved. Indeed, to make two enemies lay aside their hatred temporarily, you have to give them a common enemy for the time being.
This time, Rayquaza would have to be sacrificed temporarily; anyway, it's not like Groudon and Kyogre could defeat each other...
As for the actual location of the true Red and Blue Orbs, after listening to Groudon's words last time, Fang Yuan himself had been investigating. He became increasingly convinced that these two orbs were definitely at Mount God Sending.
So this time, it might indeed be feasible to permanently resolve the conflict between the twin deities of the Area of Fragrant Fate, and it seemed like he might also get promoted from being Groudon's trainer to the common trainer of the Two Fools of Fang Yuan?
"Bwoo…" On Fang Yuan's shoulder, Eevee saw through Fang Yuan's thoughts with a glimmer in its eyes.
Well done, you're playing a big game here. If Groudon and Kyogre really defeat Rayquaza, are you planning on training Rayquaza next? You must be the hidden big boss they talk about!
