Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"Roar!!"

In the empty and fragmented alternate dimension, only Palkia's furious roar remained...

"What happened to them? Why did they turn out like this..." Inside the secret cave of the Seven Islands, Arknom, who had witnessed everything, suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

Wangluo's plan was barely successful, but it felt no joy of victory whatsoever...

And what did it see?

The three great myths of the past, the first gods created by the creator god, always exuded nobility and grandeur in their early days.

Even though Giratina was ferocious and tyrannical for a time, and Dialga and Palkia fought each other due to time travel, they all adhered to their own pride.

But now, everything has changed.

Giratina has become cunning and treacherous, Dialga has learned to kick someone when they're down, and Palkia has become irritable and easily angered...

"What else could it be? It's just because they've been spending too much time with that insolent servant!" Emly, who seemed to have seen it all before, scolded. "I've said it before, the hearts of humans are infested with a contagious plague... The Creator God should never have chosen them as heroes in the first place!"

"Emrido, you are not allowed to question the Creator God's decision! And Azelm, that's the end of that too. You are not allowed to say anything like that again!" Uxie, who had been squinting, shouted sternly, forcibly ending the topic.

It could actually tell that Arknom was being subtly influenced... while Emredo was a bit all bark and no bite.

After all, the fact that the God of Emotions, without using his special powers, could not influence the human heart as well as the human heart... This would not only anger Emrido, but also breed panic.

Unfortunately, that's the truth.

The ability to influence the Pokémon around us with our hearts is a power bestowed upon humanity by the creator god.

There's a saying among humans, "One who stays near ink gets stained black," which describes this situation perfectly.

Even the three great mythological figures, if they spend too much time with Wang Luo, will eventually degenerate into beasts devoid of pride.

It is precisely because of this infectious ability of humans, which is like a plague, that these gods, who belong directly to the creator god, absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of blasphemers!

If left to grow unchecked, sooner or later he will infect most of the life on this planet and even completely destroy the order established by the Creator God!

Just like the heroes of the Water People back then...

(Hmm...) Suddenly remembering something he shouldn't recall, Yuuki shuddered and quickly erased the memory that had just begun to resurface!

That is a 'truth' that should not be reproduced in the world. Even if Yukishi was one of those who distorted history, he should never be allowed to remember it!

"Let's go, there's nothing left to worry about..." With a final sigh, Yukshi waved away the images in front of him and turned to float out of the cave.

Emredo followed with a cold smile, while Arknom took a deep look at the gradually blurring ocean before mechanically following his companion away.

...

"Phew...looks like it'll work!"

Deep underwater, Xiao Zhi, who had been lying dormant for quite some time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of the three sea gods, they gathered as much power as possible from the sea and launched a stunning counterattack together with Lugia.

Xiao Zhi wasn't sure about the consequences of doing this, but he was prepared for the other party to become angry.

However, they have not continued their attack so far, which probably means they have given up because they know they will exhaust their power to repair the temple.

However, Wangluo was only half right. Ash did indeed want to repair the Ocean Temple... but he wouldn't exhaust his power at all; instead, he would gain even more!

"It's time to restore everything to its original state. Everyone, let's witness this moment together!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone underwater, Ash raised his hand above his head, manipulating the almost pure white power of Poseidon to merge with the seawater, gradually reassembling the broken debris!

The enormous temple regained its outline, and all the details inside were rebuilt one by one. Everyone was amazed as the temple became clean and magnificent again. The destroyed Sea Crown shone brightly once more under the reflection of the crystal base!

"That's great!" *N

Several girls, their eyes reddening, hugged each other, tears of joy streaming down their faces.

Manaphy excitedly plunged into the water column and began to swim and soar once more.

But as it swam, it suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the Crown of the Sea above.

Silver and Primal Kyogre were the same; at this moment, they seemed to awaken some vague and ancient memories.

There was a time when they seemed to gather in the Temple of the Sea God just like today, celebrating a victory after surviving a calamity.

Compared to the other two, Kyogre's memory is noticeably clearer.

Manaphy has been reborn countless times, leaving only a trace of familiarity in its bloodline. Little Silver's memories were inherited from the power of the Sea God, things that even Lugia couldn't remember.

Only Kyogre had personally experienced those things!

In the Sea Temple at that time, there were many humans, who were probably all water people, all surrounding a hero.

Kyogre couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he could vaguely make out that the person was holding a broken scepter high, making a pilgrimage towards the Sea Crown above.

At the head of the scepter is a gem that always emits a light blue glow…

“The indigo jewel, it should only be part of something…” Kyogre said suddenly, uncertainly.

"I think I saw something too... that hero seems to be wearing something..." Xiao Yin added, equally confused.

"Mana, Mana!" Manaphy pointed even more urgently to the crown on his head.

"That happened in the past. When the Temple of the Sea was being rebuilt, it helped you awaken fragments of those memories," Ash's voice suddenly came.

"The Scepter of Neptune, the Golden Armor, and the Crown of the Sea... these correspond to the three great treasures of the Water People for the three of you!"

Chapter 1045 The Prince of the Sea... So who is the Queen of the Sea?

The Pokémon world is actually quite fantastical.

There are gods and ghosts here, humans who create the world and madmen who destroy it, as well as powers bursting with all sorts of fantastical attributes such as time, space, and resurrection.

Take the Sea Crown from the original movie as an example. It can use its power to envelop Ash and others, allowing them to fly on the water. Ash would definitely call it a magical artifact.

Given this worldview, it's not unacceptable that the Water People could create three treasures.

The Crown of the Sea is naturally the one before us. It corresponds to Manaphy and, in addition to representing the identity of the King of the Sea, is also the core of the Temple of the Sea.

The Sea Temple is essentially a refuge where the Water People and Pokémon can take shelter when danger strikes, in order to preserve their vital energy.

That's why the Crown of the Sea was designed so that it could be restored to its original state whenever the power of the Sea King was poured into it.

The other secret treasure, the Neptune's Scepter, is the precursor to the Indigo Orb... or rather, the Orb itself was just an accessory to the scepter.

This is the treasure mentioned in the murals of the ruins that has been destroyed. Unfortunately, apart from knowing its name, Ash still knows nothing about its true function.

The last and lost treasure of Neptune was the golden armor.

Even fewer memories remain of it... Fortunately, Ash now possesses some clues.

Ah Chao, who just launched a suicide attack, is wearing what should be the sword and armor set mentioned in the special episode of the manga.

The Sword of Instantaneous Power can deflect all attacks, and the Armor of Eternity allows one to survive in dire straits... It was precisely because of these special abilities that A-Chao was able to regain his mobility when he should have been suffocating and fainting, and used the sword to block the attack, thus buying himself the opportunity to detonate the bomb.

This equipment makes it hard for Ash not to think of the third installment of the Ranger series.

In the Oblibia region, not far from Hoenn, there seems to be a group of armored people who have lived for hundreds of years, and their armor is also very powerful.

The treasure controlled by the leader of the armored people, which is also a key clue in the game, is a set of golden armor that can grant immortality!

So let's make a bold guess: that armor might just be the lost treasure!

Of course, Ash doesn't have the energy to unlock this side quest right now, but he can ask the Ranger League to keep an eye out for it.

If he can find relevant clues, he can thank the spirits of the Water People for their help.

...

"Everyone, things have come to a successful conclusion. Let's rise to the surface with the temple," Ash suggested to his companions.

He also gained a lot from this trip.

Even after the temple was repaired, a vast amount of Neptune's power remained, and this power is now stored in the crystal beneath the Sea King's crown.

Ash, who has been crowned the King of the Sea, appears to have lost all his power on the surface, but in reality, he can easily access and utilize this power through the transmission of the sea.

He now holds the ultimate truth of the ocean, has the three sea gods as his assistants, and can command the submission of countless creatures in the sea with every move he makes!

At the same time, unlike the previous kings, he was accompanied by Lugia.

Although it lost the power of the sea god, Lugia is in a similar situation to Greninja. With the help of a large amount of Poseidon's power, it can completely rise to a level above the three sea gods!

And Ash also has a way to deal with the powers it has lost.

Like Ho-Oh's resurrection power, Lugia's core power—the wind power that connects the ocean and the sky—was also banished by Arceus to other worlds.

Once Ash has wiped out the bandits on the Seven Islands, he will definitely find an opportunity to embark on another journey to another world to help Lugia regain this power.

At that time, Lugia will regain its powers and reach its true complete form!

...

Wow!

A pointed roof emerged first from the water, followed by a magnificent palace, shining brightly against the moon, surrounded by the waves.

"Oh my god, it's the Temple of the Sea!" "It's alright! Thank goodness!"

The Guangmei family on the boat were almost moved to tears of joy. The ups and downs had happened so fast that they felt like their hearts were about to fly away.

After hearing only a brief explanation from Xiao Zhi, they couldn't wait to put on the tokens of the Water People and hurriedly went to the temple for a visit and pilgrimage.
