I, the first trainer of the new world

With Giratina leading the way, it only takes ten seconds to travel from the Reverse World to the Initial World.

Very fast.

Qianlin stood expressionless in front of the temple, holding the hand of Evil Phantom with one hand and the hand of Blacksmith with the other. The other Pokémon were watching the show from inside their Poké Balls.

Almost the instant he stepped into the initial stage, golden light formed upward steps, as if eagerly inviting him to step onto the platform.

Looking up at the platform that seemed to be hovering among the clouds, Qianlin took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Qiao Blacksmith, Ponpon, if Arceus attacks me later, each of you go up and grab one of his hind legs and pull on it as hard as you can."

Ergui Pong blinked at him. Although she didn't know why, Pong Pong was obedient and nodded.

"Oger~"

The skilled blacksmith nodded righteously.

"Katu~"

"She truly is a good daughter to her father." Qianlin was deeply moved.

With these two goddaughters around, the alpaca has to give him some face, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if the two goddaughters each pulled on one side of his hind leg.

With preparations complete and mustering her courage, Qianlin led her two children up the steps.

Just like before, the seemingly towering staircase leads to the top in just a few steps, and looking back, you can only see the small, barely visible temple below.

Even now, Qianlin doesn't know the principle behind this. If you ask about space, Altaria and Palkia don't sense anything unusual. If you ask about time, Altaria and Dialga also don't notice anything wrong.

However, considering that Arceus can even pause the time of all Pokémon, including Altaria and Giratina, it doesn't seem too difficult to do something like that.

As he ascended the last step and stood on the platform, a divine golden light gathered before him, and Arceus's form appeared before him.

He remains as holy and compassionate as ever, feeling even more like a creator god than Arceus in his true form, which is rather absurd.

"Ahem—" Meeting Arceus's enigmatic gaze, Qianlin straightened his back and raised his head. "Arceus, I'm here to negotiate... ah, no, I'm here to ask for your help!"

Arceus did not answer, but looked at Qianlin meaningfully.

Egui Peng immediately hid behind Qian Lin, gazing at Arceus with a curious yet shy look, like a little lamb.

The skilled blacksmith simply raised her dragon-headed hammer excitedly and waved it happily at Arceus.

"Katu~"

Creator God, look at my new giant hammer!

In that instant, Arceus's unfathomable demeanor crumbled. He looked down at the little one beside Qianlin who was sharing her joy with him. He could sense that she had no intention of showing off; she simply wanted to share her joy with all the elders she liked.

Of all the elders, Arceus is the hardest to see.

At that moment, His gaze unconsciously softened.

Your strategy is correct, Qianlin.

Qianlin's eyes lit up, then he immediately pretended to be nonchalant: "What are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who would scheme against even my own daughter?"

Arceus remained silent.

He didn't even acknowledge Qianlin, turning his gaze to the other side. Shy Ponpo hid behind Qianlin, holding Qianlin's arm in front of her, but couldn't help peeking out her little head to look at Arceus curiously.

Arceus smiled gently.

It's okay, kid, don't be afraid, come here.

Egui Peng instinctively shrank back, but then looked up at Qian Lin.

Qianlin didn't make any jokes. He showed the same gentle smile, raised his hand and gently pushed Ergui Peng from behind: "Go on, he is also your elder. He is your mother's godfather."

Why isn't my godfather an elder?

Arceus really wants to kick Qianlin now. Does the Azure Bird have to be His goddaughter now?

Also, are you insulting me?

Arceus gazed at Qianlin with a deep, melancholy look.

Ergui Peng believed in Arceus; she was just shy. Qian Lin gently pushed her from behind, without much force, and couldn't move her body, but this action seemed to give her strength, making her subconsciously step out from behind her father and stand in front of Arceus.

She was still a little nervous before getting close, and without her father's protection, she subconsciously turned her head.

Her father gave her an encouraging look, and her sister... The skilled blacksmith waved happily at her. Her sister was never afraid to approach Arceus because He was a kind elder.

As if by some force, the fear and shyness in Ergui's heart gradually lessened. She turned her head to look at Arceus in front of her. Looking at the kind and warm smile on her elder's face, a power rose from behind her.

It was her father, mother, sister, and all the uncles and aunts who gave her courage.

She lifted her foot and took her first step... It wasn't as scary as you might have imagined, right?

She couldn't help but smile, watching the elder in front of her take his second step... He was still so kind, his eyes filled with encouragement.

So, the third step, the fourth step... wait? She has already arrived in front of this elder.

She raised her head, no longer afraid, because so many people behind her gave her courage.

She looked at Arceus, no longer shy, for He was a warm elder.

"Oger~"

God of Creation~

She was well-behaved and adorable, with a sweet smile and a soft, gentle voice that conveyed an indescribable ease.

You've already tried your best.

Arceus smiled gently.

[Striving to fight against the Super-Killer, striving to contend with evil consciousness, striving... to find redemption for oneself]

Erguipeng opened his big eyes, those eyes that had once been blank and empty, now once again possessed joy, emotion, and a sense of self.

[Let me also apologize to you. I'm sorry... You, who came from the initial world, are an existence I cannot interfere with.]

"Is Evil Phantom a legend from the original world?" Chilin asked in surprise. "No wonder you never healed her. All the injured Pokémon were healed except for Evil Phantom... I thought she was some kind of foreshadowing you left behind, and I was so careful not to let her appear when I was fighting the corrupted Chilin."

I'm afraid Arceus might do something like sacrifice Hephaestus to save the world.

The reason why Egui Peng couldn't interfere with the affairs of the initial world before the corrupted Qianlin was killed was simply because Egui Peng came from the initial world. The only solution he could think of was to send Egui Peng to his side.

Am I that kind of person?

Arceus responded to Qianlin with the same words.

Qianlin looked up awkwardly, pretending to look around at the scenery.

Is it possible that you're not even human?

You are an alpaca.

Arceus sighed.

[Qianlin, you know I can hear your thoughts. After practicing for so long, you still haven't learned to hide your true feelings from me... even if it's just a compliment.]

Qian Lin: "..."

There's no way to expect someone who surfs the internet faster than the internet itself to clear their mind.

Don't be ridiculous, even gigabit fiber optic internet would make me complain about how slow it is.

You're disturbing me.

"I'm sorry." Qianlin bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

I can't control myself! QAQ
