Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 505 A Pokémon Trainer Just Passing By
What exactly happened?
The effects of the battle and the release of power on reality ended, and Dialga and Palkia, who were once invincible one minute ago but were instantly killed by Fire Fox a few seconds ago, returned to their original state.

Pikachu, having lost its ability to fight, was also confused about what had just happened.

All it remembered was a huge fireball hurtling towards it... and then the battle was over.

Everything that happened during the battle was like a dream or an illusion.

"Pikachu?"

"Muff~"

The fire fox transformed back into its original form from its fiery red fox form and proudly puffed out its chest.

This is its exhilarating combination move with its trainer!

With the Trainer's "Firefly", "Help", "Energy Points" and "Crystallize", it dares to fight even the Giratina that just fought two opponents!
"Ahem, since that's the case, you should admit that we won."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Dialga and Palkia, fell silent.

Does that round still count?

How exactly did they lose?

"Kobayashi, what exactly was that 'Super Extreme Blazing Bullet' technique?"

Zhu Lan, acting as the referee, was the first to raise a question.

Langrisser allows for parameter adjustments to a certain extent, and theoretically, Link has the ability to change some conditions to improve his side's strength.

But Cynthia didn't think the other party would do that; she was just asking as a trainer who was still striving for improvement.

“It’s the power of hard training and the bond between us.” Link pondered for a moment, then added, “Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that as a superhuman, I can provide elves with more advantages than ordinary people.”

Zhu Lan seemed to understand. So that's how it is. The power of bonds can make elves surpass beings from mythology.

"No matter what, we've won, haven't we?"

Ash approached Dialga and Palkia, earnestly pleading, "Please, although I don't quite understand what's going on, please save this world!"

They exchanged a glance and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

There's nothing we can do; a loss is a loss.

Dialga and Palkia will no longer fight, but the spacetime distortion can only be contained. The real source is not the two of them, but Arceus, which was once sealed in the Metina region of Sinnoh.

"Arzetus!?"

With Polygon's real-time translation, Professor Oak heard this name that kept appearing in creationism.

Arceus, the Great One of the Divine, is a being in mythology who created the world with a thousand hands.

It is an elf, a god, and the creator of all things.

Dialga nodded. Yes, it was the being that created them.

Zhu Lan had a deeper understanding of the creator in mythology, and she realized that Link's "conjecture" might actually be true, so she shared the legends she knew with everyone.

"Legend has it that long ago, the Sinnoh region was threatened by a giant meteorite."

"Fu~"

"Well... in short, a meteorite is about to fall from the sky and destroy the Sinnoh region, starting from Midina."

"Just then, the legendary Arceus suddenly appeared and blocked the colossal meteor with all his might, but he himself was exhausted and on the verge of death."

"Bonnie?" So Arceus is weaker than Mega Rayquaza, even though he's the creator of this world?
Zhu Lan, who had learned the meaning of the elves' words from Polygonus, shrugged. After all, it was a myth, and there would inevitably be some distortion in the process of being passed down orally.

"Humans protected by Arceus, with the help of Damos, gathered the scattered 'sources of life' and restored Arceus to life."

"To thank this human, it fulfilled the human's wish to make Mijna prosperous by creating the Jewel of Life using the five life sources: earth, water, grass, lightning, and dragon."

Taile Bagos: "..."

This sounds familiar.

"The land of Mijna became incredibly prosperous as hoped, but the story that followed was lost in the torrent of history..."

Zhu Lan briefly introduced the legend of Mijina, giving everyone an understanding of the cause of the story.

Dialga did not raise any objections during this process, which suggests that the historical facts are largely consistent with the legends known to Cynthia.

But then it revealed a historical truth that left everyone bewildered—

When Arceus gave the jewel of life to Damos, they agreed on a time for its return.

However, when the appointed time arrived, Damos not only failed to return the jewel, but even attempted to kill or seal Arceus.

The wounded latter fell into a deep sleep, determined to unleash divine punishment upon humanity upon his awakening.

Now, Arceus is about to awaken, and this is the reason for the anomalies in space and time.

At first, Dialga and Palkia didn't realize this and thought the other was provoking them... but now they don't intend to continue fighting.

"So that's how it is. What an unexpected truth."

Professor Oak, upon learning the whole story, had a strange expression: "I never imagined that after studying Pokémon for most of my life, I would receive such important evidence of creationism from Dialga and Palkia at this age."

This certainly left researchers with mixed feelings.

That being said, Professor Oak's research focuses solely on Pokémon themselves and their relationship with humans, and he does not strongly favor any of the three viewpoints: evolution, extraterrestrialism, or design.

[Yamanashi: Ugh, my stomach hurts so much.]

A scholar who studies evolution and leans more towards evolutionary theory has experienced a subtle imbalance in his mindset.

"Don't overthink it, we haven't proven anything yet."

After a moment's thought, Link asked Dialga, "Did Arceus, who now wants to punish humanity, create this universe?"

Dialga shook his head, giving a negative answer.

However, it doesn't intend to discuss things that far into the future with humans. It will keep its promise if it loses a battle, but nothing else is within the scope of the agreement.

Just as Dialga was about to tell the humans his plans, he suddenly stopped and then looked at the garden entrance with an unfriendly expression, together with Dialga.

"Oh dear, it seems my stealth skills have deteriorated."

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blond young man who looked somewhat like Zhu Lan.

The person who came was Ginkgo, who had given Link the suggestion to cooperate with the rangers some time ago.

"Mr. Ginkgo, what brings you here?"

Link was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "You timed this perfectly, right when we were talking about alpacas."

Upon hearing this, the young man paused for a moment before realizing what was happening: "Yes, I'm Ginkgo. Oh dear, with such a commotion over here, it's hard not to attract attention... But this time, I'm here to offer advice to my idol."
