Groudon Understood

"Roar~?"

Facing Mark's question, Groudon, who was strolling through Outer Space, tilted its head in a surprisingly human-like manner.

It did not quite understand.

It had no idea what Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn meant when Mark mentioned them.

In fact, Groudon did not understand Outer Space, where it currently was, all that well either. It only remembered Rayquaza grabbing it and flying upward, after which it somehow ended up here—a wonderful place where it could fly as freely as it pleased.

It liked this place very much, so although its mind was a little muddled, Groudon did not care too much.

Jirachi flew over at just the right moment. "Jirachi knows! They're all among the Eight Planets of the Solar System. They're the fourth, fifth, and sixth planets. The Earth Star where we are is also in the Solar System, and it's the third planet."

Jirachi furrowed its brow. "Earth is round to begin with!"

"Roar~!"

No, it was flat!

Jirachi's frown deepened. Listening to Groudon's rebuttal, it inexplicably felt as if it had become Mark. This was
