"Go, Poké Ball!" Qingwu directly threw the Poké Ball. It hit Magmar, and Magmar turned into a red light and was sucked into the Poké Ball. Magmar's stamina had been nearly depleted by Zubat, so it was easily captured.

"This Magmar relies too much on the magma's energy, which makes it inferior," Qingwu shook his head. It looked very powerful, but it was actually a paper tiger. Its ability to train moves was far inferior to Zubat's, even though the Flame Orb had improved its potential.

Qingwu suddenly saw a fiery red flash appear inside the damaged rock wall. "Strange, how is there a hidden passage here?" Qingwu walked in and saw an endless sea of fire stones, like fiery clouds, covering the entire cave.

"This is a Fire Stone ore vein!" Qingwu was ecstatic. So many Fire Stones, how many points would that convert to? Qingwu looked at the Fire Stones here. The lowest grade were all low-grade Fire Stones, and these Fire Stones were mixed with mid-grade Fire Stones. Fire Stones could not only be used for Pokémon evolution but also for training Fire-type Pokémon, though Fire Stones were too expensive.

Qingwu immediately saw a perfect, top-quality Fire Stone standing in the middle of the cave. This was no longer just a Fire Stone; it should be called a Fire Crystal. Fire Crystal was a crystal of Fire-type energy that formed after Fire Stones were immersed in fire energy for many years. It could be said to be the essence of all Fire-type energy. Fire Crystal also had the characteristic of inexhaustible energy. As long as it was placed in magma, the energy consumed by the Fire Crystal would automatically replenish after a short while. Fire Crystal was simply a super-divine artifact for Fire-type Pokémon, even more precious than a Flame Orb. This Fire Crystal, like a blooming fiery rose, shimmered with fire energy.

This Fire Crystal could be considered a legendary resource. Beside the Fire Crystal were three perfectly shaped, top-grade Fire Stones. Just top-grade Fire Stones could fetch exorbitant prices on the black market, let alone a Fire Crystal, which was a true strategic-level legendary resource that even Elite Four members would fight over.

"I'm rich! I'm really rich! Aron, do me a favor. Use Rock Tomb to excavate these four gems for me." Only by using Rock Tomb to force the Fire Stones out from underground would their integrity not be damaged. Top-grade Fire Stones, after polishing, could become top-grade jewels. Qingwu secretly made a decision in his heart: he would never sell these four Fire Stones, even if it killed him. These were like family heirlooms. After collecting these four gems, Qingwu took a few more high-grade Fire Stones.

Qingwu walked to the end of the cave. From a distance, he felt an intense, hot, dry, and violent aura. "What treasure could be here?" Qingwu was curious. He poked his head in and saw a Pokémon sleeping, immersed in magma. This was a Pokémon whose entire body was covered in red, flaky skin that acted as armor. The underside of its body was gray, and large spikes protruded from its head, torso, and tail. Each of its hands had four claws. Four bulldozer-like teeth protruded from the end of its tail. Each foot had three claws, and the soles of its feet had gray markings. Blue spikes also grew within the seams of its skin.

This was Groudon!!! How could Groudon appear here? Qingwu was utterly shocked. This was a Legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region, how could it possibly appear here? Qingwu's eyes widened. He rubbed them again. He simply couldn't believe that Groudon had appeared right before his eyes. This was the God of the Land.

Groudon was currently immersed in magma, its hands clasped together, with special patterns on its surface. It was continuously drawing power from the magma to condense a red orb.

"This is the Omega Ruby, how could it appear here?" Qingwu was stunned again. Shouldn't it be at Mt. Chimney? A Groudon with the Omega Ruby could undergo Primal Reversion. Wait, Qingwu looked at the "Ω" symbol on Groudon's body. This Groudon was condensing the Omega Ruby. Qingwu had heard rumors before that the Omega Ruby was a gem condensed by Groudon using natural energy. With the amplification of the Omega Ruby, Groudon could enter Primal Reversion. And the Omega Ruby was not the key to controlling Groudon. Humans who foolishly tried to control Groudon with the Omega Ruby would be counter-controlled by Groudon and become slaves to its power.

"No wonder there's a top-grade Flame Orb here. No wonder there are so many Fire Stones outside. They are all byproducts of Groudon condensing the Omega Ruby," Qingwu murmured. What kind of mystical place was this Team Rocket trial base that it could attract Groudon to heal here? Qingwu looked at Groudon's appearance; it wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

"I must keep this a secret." Qingwu had seen the smaller Kyogre before. But Qingwu always felt that this Groudon was at least a size smaller than the Groudon he had seen in the Hoenn region. Could it be that there was more than one Groudon? Qingwu dared not disturb this Groudon. He tiptoed out but didn't notice an Omega Ruby icon flashing on the back of his hand.

Groudon also suddenly opened its eyes. Its yellow pupils thoughtfully glanced at Qingwu, then closed again. It was not yet time for it to emerge. Although this human had something that attracted its attention, condensing the Omega Ruby was more important now.

"Aron, use Rock Tomb to completely seal off this cave." Once the news of Groudon leaked out, it would attract many opportunistic individuals. Qingwu's current strength was still very weak, and he didn't want to draw attention to himself. As the rocks rumbled upwards, this secret was finally sealed by Qingwu. He would only come to check it again when he reached Elite Four level.

"This trip to the volcano was quite fruitful." Five yellow-potential Pokémon Eggs, one light blue-potential Pokémon Egg, one dark green-potential Pokémon, and a number of Fire Stones. After exiting the Fire Cave, Qingwu planned to return to the trial base first. He was afraid the Torchic egg might hatch prematurely, which would be a huge loss. With the Flame Orb and the top-grade Fire Crystal, Qingwu was very confident in training Torchic to become a success.
