"What's the deal with this Bruno? How dare he give our master a headache?"
"Isn't he just a Champion-level Pokémon Trainer? Acting like he's a big shot. If this guy wasn't so hard to find, believe me, I'd kill him instantly."
"Putting other things aside, I can tell that Master cares about this matter a lot."
"Why don't we help Master out?"
"How? Like last time, the three of us just go and block him?"
"No, this Bruno runs really fast. He was the least injured last time."
"If we don't do anything, the entire Orange Archipelago won't be able to deal with this veteran Elite Four member!"

After discussing for nearly five minutes, Groudon suddenly had a flash of inspiration and made a suggestion.
"How about this? I have an idea. Let's call over the underlings we've recruited, then directly have Master capture them. This way, it will definitely be done secretly—and we can't always be by Master's side. Master needs to have a powerful Pokémon following him."
"Underlings?" The three legendary birds were taken aback and looked at each other. "What underlings? Where did they come from?"
"Holy crap, you three silly birds, are you serious?" Groudon was astonished. "You've been legendary Pokémon for so many years. Even if you're just secondary legendary Pokémon, don't you even have a few powerful underlings under your command?"
"Being legendary Pokémon to your extent is really embarrassing for legendary Pokémon."
"Bullshit! Who said we don't have underlings!" Zapdos roared. "It's just that this time, the opponent is a Champion-level Pokémon Trainer. The only types that counter Fighting-type are Flying, Psychic, and Fairy-type Pokémon."
"There aren't many Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon in the Orange Archipelago at all. There are Flying-type Pokémon, but their strength isn't very good."
"Are you suggesting I just grab any Champion-level Flying-type Pokémon for Master to capture? If we lose, we can't bear that responsibility."
Articuno sighed. "The Orange Archipelago isn't as vast and resource-rich as your Hoenn..."
"What does it have to do with the region?" Groudon interrupted. "My underlings weren't all recruited in the Hoenn region."
"Since you guys can't do it, then I'll send my underlings this time. They're all pseudo-legendary Pokémon anyway. But—you have to give up the berries my underlings can eat afterward..."
"Even if we don't give them up, Master will give your underlings some, right?" Moltres shook its head. "If they really secure a victory for Master, I believe Master definitely won't treat them badly. They might even get better treatment than you, the boss."
"Anyway, they're my own underlings, so I won't be jealous," Groudon said magnanimously.
"Stop talking nonsense, Master is still outside," the three legendary birds urged quickly.
"Do any of your underlings happen to be Flying-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon...?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Even at this point, are you still trying to humiliate me?" Groudon cursed loudly. "I can't even fly as the boss—how could I possibly recruit underlings who can fly!"
The three legendary birds said helplessly, "This isn't what we said—Master said it. If you want to curse, curse Master."
"Looking at Master just now, it seemed like he was almost going to train Farfetch'd to fight."
"If there are no Flying-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon, then we definitely need fast ones."
Groudon shook its head. "There are no fast pseudo-legendary Pokémon."
"Then what are you dreaming about? You were bragging so confidently just now," the three legendary birds cursed.
"That Bruno is a veteran Elite Four member."
"Even though we haven't left the Orange Archipelago much, we've heard of that madman Bruno."
"Tch!" Groudon suddenly cursed. "The types of my two pseudo-legendary Pokémon seem to be countered by Fighting-type."
"What should we do?"
"Why don't we send both of them over and have Master capture them?"
"Do you think Master is stupid?" Articuno, who didn't usually talk much, said speechlessly. "Capturing one pseudo-legendary Pokémon is one thing, but capturing two in such a short time?"
"Have you ever seen someone win the lottery twice in a row?"
Groudon pondered for a moment. "The only two pseudo-legendary Pokémon I can currently offer are these two."
"Do you think a Steel/Psychic-type pseudo-legendary is better, or a Dark/Rock-type pseudo-legendary?"
"Well..." The three legendary birds quickly discussed.
"The Steel/Psychic-type pseudo-legendary is a bit better. After all, although Steel-type is countered by Fighting-type, Psychic-type counters Fighting-type."
"They counter each other, so the impact isn't too big."
"Unlike Dark/Rock-type, which is completely countered."
"Alright!" Groudon nodded. "Then we'll choose this underling."
"It's one week, right?"
"Yeah," the three legendary birds nodded in unison. "You'd better hurry."
"It should be enough time for you to go back to your lair and find your underling, but the problem is—we still need to set up a situation so that your pseudo-legendary underling can be captured by Master smoothly."
"So you must be back in five days."
"No problem." Groudon patted its chest. "Then I'll go back to the Hoenn region right away. You guys be smart and help me hide it from Master—don't let him realize I've been gone for a few days."
"Three days at most."
"I can definitely get back from the Hoenn region."
