Pokemon: A New Path

Chapter 479

The Incident with Groudon Continues to Escalate

More and more people were drawn to the scene, curious to see the legendary Pokémon. Trainers on flying Pokémon or private planes hovered at a distance, using binoculars to get a closer look at Groudon standing out in the ocean.
