As she spoke, Zhu Bei rubbed her forehead in annoyance.

"Although he performs his work very diligently, he has a tendency to talk too much."

So I didn't let him know about that, and I hope you can forgive him.

"......Um."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao turned around and glanced at her, silently nodding but not saying anything more.

The atmosphere eased a little immediately.

Then Zhubei got to the main topic.

"...Also, during the battle yesterday, I heard you call out the name of that black Pokémon. Can you tell us anything about it?"

"Is Ms. Cynthia at the Sinnoh Temple? We also have some questions about the Sinnoh Grand Master and that Pokémon that we'd like to ask her?"

Xiao Zhao shook her head as she listened to what the two women were saying.

"Cynthia said she wanted to investigate information related to the Sinnoh Grandmaster and Necrozma."

It should be there now, but I know a little bit about that Pokémon...

As she spoke, the expression on her face suddenly froze; she had almost forgotten all the details of what they had discussed that day.

"Hehe~ Please have a seat~"

Wu Si chuckled softly and pointed to a chair not far away, inviting the two to sit down.

"I know a little bit about Necrozma too~ Let me explain it to you two~"

Sinnoh Temple

Hua Ling stayed there until nearly noon, intently studying the patterns painted on a huge stone wall.

These are murals depicting legendary Pokémon that appeared in Arceus, as well as the kings served in various regions.

"I'm here~ Are you still there, Miss Cynthia?"

P.S.: Did I write this a little too hastily? If I keep going, it'll become sloppy.

Volume 1: Chapter 103 Arceus (27)

"Mr. Wang Luo, over here, over here~~"

The voice came from deep within. Wang Luo walked towards the depths and soon saw Hua Ling standing in front of a huge mural.

"Oh, Miss Cynthia, is there something you need from me?"

Wang Luo approached the other person, who was looking at the simple depiction of Arceus at the top of the mural.

"Mr. Wang Luo, do you know Arceus?"

Sensing the other person's arrival, Hua Ling slowly spoke.

"?!"

Wang Luo raised an eyebrow slightly, then smiled and said:

“Arceus, I once mentioned this Pokémon. Legend has it that it is the god who created this world.”

"Yes, legend has it that Arceus was born from an egg in the void."

It created three special Pokémon: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, and bestowed upon them unique powers.

"However, in the world where 'I' live, there once happened a farce about Arceus."

Hua Ling looked at the mural and slowly raised the corners of her mouth. A strange sense of oppression appeared in the air.

Upon hearing her words, Wang Luo immediately perked up; he was very interested in the farce about the creator god.

"Oh~ Please tell me about it, Ms. Cynthia! I'm very curious about this legendary Pokémon!"

"A myth once existed in my world,"

An enormous meteorite fell from the sky, and Arceus summoned all his stone tablets.

He used his own body to block the meteorite that was powerful enough to destroy the entire world.

Ultimately, the meteorite survived its catastrophe, but it was severely damaged, and its slabs were scattered all over the world.

Then a human male came out and helped it, collecting all the stone slabs and returning them to it.

Hua Ling paused for a moment at this point, and Wang Luo, who was standing beside her, nodded thoughtfully.

"Indeed... Arceus's power is far beyond what I imagined; it's truly like a farce."

It's truly hard to imagine that the God who created the universe would suffer such damage because of his own creation...

"The story would have seemed absurd up to this point, but what happened next made it feel like a farce..."

"Arceus, grateful for humanity's help, crafted his stone tablets into the Orb of Life to revitalize the ancient earth."

It was given to that man, and a date for its return was set.

When that day arrived, the man's clansmen harbored malicious intentions and gathered a large number of ordinary Pokémon.

They then launched a joint attack on the incomplete Arceus, planning to bury it alive there.

The plan ultimately succeeded, and almost succeeded twice.

If Dialga hadn't used his time-traveling powers to send a specific trainer back in time, everything would have been different...

Arceus from that world is probably already dead, which I find somewhat regrettable.

As Hua Ling finished speaking, Wang Luo, standing beside her, gaped for a long time before finally letting out a sound:

"Ah... the Pokémon that created the world..."

He found it hard to believe. Wasn't it supposed to be a Pokémon capable of destroying and reshaping the world? Why would it perish under the attack of an ordinary Pokémon...?

"Later I learned that Arceus also has stronger and weaker versions..."

Arceus created multiple worlds, leaving behind a clone of himself in each one.

The clone is simply a powerful legendary Pokémon, possessing the power to defeat all legendary Pokémon.

It's impossible to defeat it head-on, but there are ways to kill it from the side.

But that original being is different; it truly created the world and resides at the pinnacle of multiple universes.

A god capable of destroying and reshaping countless universes in the blink of an eye—a truly legendary god.

"I see... A clone... Arceus's existence is even more mysterious to me."

Wang Luo was momentarily filled with emotion, but after learning the truth, his heart burned even brighter.

If even a mere clone possesses such power, imagine what it would be like to come into contact with the true body in a higher dimension...

"We've said enough of the pleasantries. Mr. Wang Luo, please come with me."

Hua Ling smiled and shook her head at the fervor in the other person's eyes, then led them towards the high platform.

When she arrived at the platform where she had fought the two legendary Pokémon the day before, she stopped in her tracks, looking at the abyss ahead.

"By the way, I've been here for so long and I've been listening to you tell stories about Arceus."

"Miss Cynthia, is there something you need from me?"

Wang Luo had just asked the question when the person in front of him pulled a ball out of their pocket and turned to look at him...

"It's like this... I also have a little bit of interest in Arceus. Could you please give me the Ghost Tablet?"

? !

Wang Luo's expression froze for a moment, then he covered his forehead and burst into wild laughter:

"Hahaha! I thought you were planning something? Oh, so you already knew!"

So it seems your motives for getting close to Xiaozhao and helping her capture Palkia weren't so pure after all! Hahaha!

His voice was full of sarcasm, but Hua Ling didn't pay much attention to it. She simply played with the Poké Ball in her hand and calmly spoke:

"There is never a simple concept of human interaction – whether it's deliberate approach, a chance encounter, or a conflict of interest, it all involves the exchange of emotions."

I don't believe in sudden acts of kindness, but I won't deny the value of such kindness either.

Ultimately, it's just about making money, whether it's real or psychological.

"Hehe, you're quite an interesting person."

Wang Luo and the other person walked towards the platform. They exchanged a glance and, without prior arrangement, both headed to the other side of the platform.

As she walked, she took off her hat, her long golden hair flying high, making her look like a humanoid Arceus...

"Come on! Send out your Pokémon! If you win, the Ghost Tablet is yours; if you lose, you'll probably be stuck here forever."

Wang Luo's face had lost its usual gentleness, now displaying arrogance and disdain.

And he has the right in this world to reach an agreement with Giratina to fight for him, opening a spacetime rift and causing so many unexpected events.

"Of course—since this is an unequal bet, I'll give you a chance after everything is over."

I'm very much looking forward to seeing what kind of future awaits you, with such power and strategy.

Hua Ling smiled. Now she understood why she hadn't come into this world with Cynthia.

"Oh? You're so confident you can beat me?"

Wang Luo glanced at her with some surprise.

"Of course not, but I won't participate in a battle where I'm certain of losing before it even begins."

Volume 1: Chapter 104 Long Time No See (28)

Sinnoh Temple

"Ow!"

Two Garchomps of different sizes charged at each other, their gleaming fins colliding.

The strong wind from the collision caused the floor to crack underfoot.

The boss Garchomp and Wangluo's Garchomp quickly retreated after failing to achieve their objective at level one.

It returned to its trainer's side, panting slightly, its eyes fiercely fixed on the enemy ahead.

"Oh~ Zoroark, Lucario, Goodra, Togekiss..."

"You only have two Pokémon left, right? What? Do you think your Garchomp can beat me?"

Wang Luo clapped his hands, his smile becoming even more arrogant.

"Go! Garchomp! Outrage!"

"Bite!!"

As Wang Luo finished speaking, his Garchomp charged forward.

"Hmm... Mr. Wang Luo, there's no need to be in such a hurry. Garchomp! Use Outrage on it!"

"Bite!!"

As Hua Ling finished speaking, the Garchomp leader in front of her roared and charged forward.

With their final clash, both Pokémon lost their ability to battle.

"Oh dear... although it was the result we expected, it's still a bit disappointing. Let's all get some rest."

Hua Ling retracted her Garchomp boss, looked at the ball, sighed, put it back in her pocket, and looked ahead.

Wang Luo had already recalled his Garchomp; he truly hadn't expected to achieve a draw with such a minor character he had underestimated...

"That's really surprising... In my opinion, someone who could reach this level would have possessed a picture of a legendary Pokémon..."

Wang Luo's expression had calmed down considerably; he coldly stared at Hua Ling ahead.

"It's a pity... you'll have to stay here today."

The one who participated in the battle that day was Xiao Zhao, who had received Arceus's blessing.

"Since that's the case! Then I'll let you see a legendary Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga and Palkia!"

A black shadow began to spread from beneath his feet, dancing wildly across the earth like tentacles.
