"Of course you, the Earth Creator, are stronger," Fang Yuan said honestly.
Groudon nodded with certainty.
"Roar!! Why am I stronger!!"
"We humans have conducted a certain amount of research on Pokémon, categorizing Pokémon themselves, their moves, and their abilities into different types."
"For example, Kyogre commands Water-type power."
"While you, Groudon, command the power of the earth."
"After undergoing Primal Reversion, you even possess the power of fire."

"Both of your powers are countered by Kyogre, yet your battles have always ended without a victor. Doesn't that prove you're stronger?"

"It's only because the World Will took pity on it and gave it a good type."
"Everyone acknowledges this."
After Fang Yuan's analysis, he hurled a whole string of grand arguments at it.
Groudon suddenly understood.

Groudon began to view Fang Yuan in a new light. Fang Yuan was much more pleasing to look at now as well.

"Roar!!! You're right. Kyogre is far weaker than I am. I've also found a way to defeat Kyogre in a short time. I'll test you—if you guess the method correctly, I'll give you the Plate."
Groudon wanted to test the knowledge of this Arceus Envoy.
Fang Yuan: ?
Eevee, Dragonite, Rotom, and the
