Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

What means are needed to achieve this?

Several legendary Pokémon flashed through Xia Chen's mind—

Arceus, as the alpaca of the creator god, certainly has such power, but correspondingly, the difficulty of influencing and controlling it is also extremely high. Besides, who knows where this elusive creature is?

Secondly, there are the two gods of time and space: Dialga, the god of time, and Palkia, the god of space.

The power and strength of these two great gods are beyond doubt. Whether it is shown in the game or in those theatrical versions, it is not difficult for them to distort the spacetime of the elf world if they so desire.

Furthermore, Dark Dialga has also appeared as a boss in a Pokémon game, so there's a good chance this will happen again.

Or perhaps, it's Eternatus, who can open the darkness, the mysterious but powerful Taleborgs, or Giratina, who was banished to the Reverse World?

These legendary Pokémon are capable of doing what Necrozma can do, and so far, they have made no move.

And if they are indeed controlled by dark matter...

hiss--

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

After learning of Xia Chen's concerns, Xernias comforted him, saying, "Although that thing possesses great power, it is impossible for it to control so many elves at the same time. The more powerful it is, the more difficult it is to control. The idea that all those elves will riot at the same time is basically impossible."

Xia Chen nodded silently, "I hope so."

Although this conclusion did not yield any definitive results, it did provide some useful information.

After bidding farewell to Xerneas, Xia Chen decided to travel to the Galar region.

Of the legendary Pokémon he was worried about, he only recognized Eternatus. Going over to check with it first was the safest option at the moment.

…………

Since that dark night, Eterna has been under the soft surveillance of the Galar Alliance.

A few days ago, the Ultimate Cavern erupted again, and Dan Emperor took the initiative to contact Eternatus and ask for its help.

Therefore, Xia Chen easily found Wujitana after arriving in Galar.

This guy looks to be in good condition, showing no signs of being controlled or affected by the dark matter.

When she saw Xia Chen, she even flew over to him to greet him.

Even without Gigantamax, Eternatus was one of the largest Pokémon Xia Chen had ever seen.

In addition, its unique appearance, resembling a bone dragon, makes it a force to be reckoned with, and there are few legendary elves among them.

However, Xia Chen, who had spent some time with it, was not particularly afraid of it and naturally climbed onto its head. Wujita shook its head but did not object.

For it, this is already the most affectionate behavior it can express.

"Has something happened recently? I can vaguely sense something unusual."

Wujitana took the initiative to inquire.

Xia Chen wasn't surprised; it would be strange if a spirit like it couldn't sense the invasion of dark matter.

After a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you been affected? I mean... have you noticed any changes in yourself lately? Like being restless or having an unstable mental state?"

Wujitana was somewhat displeased with Xia Chen's question, "Heh, how could I be affected? My mental state is perfectly stable."

Fearing Xia Chen wouldn't believe it, it even did something special—it coiled its body and did a backflip, almost throwing Xia Chen off its head.

"Okay, okay, I believe you..."

Xia Chen, who almost fell, grabbed Eterna's bone spur with one hand and wiped his sweat with the other, complaining, "I can see that your mental state is extremely stable, can you stop playing around?"

It's certain that it wasn't affected by the dark matter, otherwise it wouldn't be acting so naively...

However, if the target of the dark matter is not Eternatus, then which legendary spirit could it be?

Could it be those three dragons from the Sinnoh region?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, finding them in the past should be the next step.

In the end, after discussing it with Wujitana, Xia Chen put it in a Poké Ball and left it there for a while.

Although it is unlikely to be the target of the dark matter, Xia Chen felt that it would be easier to deal with it if it were infected and caused a riot.

Not to mention, if they were to encounter the corrupted Twin Dragons of Time or Giratina, Eterna would be a powerful ally.

Without lingering long in the Galar region, Xia Chen quickly set off for his next destination: Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.

The region that is said to be connected to the dwelling place of the two dragons of time and space.

------

Accompanying Xia Chen on his journey to find the Twin Dragons of Time and Space was Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region.

Not only because she was a local, but more importantly because she was an outstanding mythologist, and her grandmother was Dr. Mustard, who specialized in that period of history.

However, things didn't go as Xia Chen had expected.

He had only been at Tianguan Mountain for a short time when he received some unexpected news—

In the desert city located in the northernmost part of the Carlos region, violent fluctuations of dark matter energy have occurred.

"Desert City? Are you sure it's Desert City?"

Xia Chen asked the champion, Karuni, in a serious tone in the holographic image.

The latter was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Xia Chen's tone was so serious. She nodded and said, "That's right. After the matter with Yveltal was settled, the Alliance had the energy to deploy control in other places. Then they discovered that the dark matter energy fluctuations around Desert City were unusually strong, even more so than in the southern region."

The fact that the southern region was a hotbed of riots in Yveltal, even more intense than elsewhere, is truly chilling.

Cynthia, noticing Xia Chen's unease, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Desert City? Is there some troublesome legendary Pokémon there?"

Xia Chen smiled wryly: "If it were Desert City, it wouldn't just be troublesome, it would be... terrifying."

Karuni and Cynthia were both shocked upon hearing this. With the power that Xia Chen currently controlled, a legendary spirit like Yveltal was nothing to fear.

His assessment of the possibility that dark matter might control the two gods of spacetime was merely that it was "somewhat troublesome."

But now he bluntly says it's "terrifying." What kind of legendary spirit exists in Desert City?

Xia Chen hesitated for a while before asking, "Do you have any locals in Desert City that you can contact? I want to know if there are any legends about [the seal] or [the pot of liberation] there."

Karuni nodded in agreement, and then she saw Karuni turn her head and talk to someone on the other end of the holographic communicator.

After a long while, she finally turned her head, her expression even more solemn than Xia Chen's.

"I asked the Gym Leader of Desert City, and you're right. There's a secret that's been passed down in Desert City for thousands of years: a legendary Pokémon with terrifying power was sealed away somewhere deep in the desert."

"Hoopa!"

Xia Chen added in a deep voice.

Karuni nodded, her expression growing increasingly serious.

"Legend has it that Hoopa has two forms. One has the appearance of a mischievous child and the personality of a mischievous child, while the other true form... is like a demon god."

"It has an extraordinary desire for treasure and will use its magic ring to plunder all wealth. Thousands of years ago, it appeared in front of the residents of Desert City, which was then a small town, in the form of liberating Hoopa. It took away some food, but also brought money and prosperity to the town. The residents worshipped it very much because of this."

"But later, people wanted to see its true power, so they made it fight against other elves. Hoopa was invincible and defeated all its opponents, but in doing so, it unleashed the demon within its heart. It became brutal and arrogant, and began to wreak havoc in the town. The entire desert city was almost destroyed by it. Fortunately, it was finally sealed by a sage in a container called the [Punishment Pot]."

…………

Xia Chen nodded. Karuni's description was similar to his understanding of Hoopa.

But he knew that what made this thing even more terrifying was not its own power, but its six magic rings.

In the movie "Halo: The Movie," Hoopa used the Magic Ring to teleport Lugia, Latias and Tigrex, Mega Rayquaza, Primal Hoenn, Unova Dragons, Sinnoh Dragons, Regigigas, and many other powerful Pokémon that are considered top-tier even among legendary Pokémon.

The intensity of that war of the gods nearly razed the desert city where the battle took place to the ground.

If the Dark Matter's true goal is to control Hoopa... the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Most importantly, the liberation of Hoopa itself inherently possesses an evil energy.

In the movie, it was this evil energy that successively controlled Balzac and Meow Meow, who were guarding the Liberation Jar, releasing the terrifying demon and freeing Hoopa.

If the two energies come together...

Gathering his thoughts, Xia Chen said seriously to Karuni on the other end of the video call, "In short, please keep a close eye on the situation over there. I'll be there soon."

After ending the call, Cynthia, who had been listening quietly, asked, "So, we'll hold off on looking for Dialga and the others for now?"

"Dialga?"

Xia Chen replied with a somewhat strange expression, "If it's that guy... Dialga should come out without us having to look for him."

Cynthia didn't understand the meaning of those words and asked in surprise, "What?"

Xia Chen shook his head. "It's okay. I hope things won't get too bad..."

It's true that Hoopa, with just one Pokémon, can summon several top-tier Pokémon capable of destroying the world at any moment; I'm not without a fighting chance either.

Therefore, Leyton, Deoxys, Calycerin, Necrozma, Rayquaza, Eternatus...

These elves are none other than the best among the legendary elves.

Furthermore, with several powerful spirits around, it's not impossible for them to defeat Hoopa, who is under the control of the dark matter.

But what will become of Desert City, and even the entire northern part of the Carlos region, under that destined-to-be-earth battle... that's hard to say.

…………

After learning the news from Karenina, Xia Chen and Cynthia quickly traveled from Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region to Desert City.

Right now, the Carlos Alliance is already organizing the relocation of city residents.

Relocating millions of people from their homes is no easy task; just convincing everyone will take considerable effort.

The Carlos people have just as strong a sense of belonging to their homeland as the Donghuang people, and many elderly people who have lived in the desert city for generations are unwilling to leave.

However, Xia Chen didn't need to worry about these trivial matters. He went directly to the Alliance Building in the desert city, where the Carlos Alliance's high-ranking officials, led by Karuni, had been waiting in the conference room for a long time.

What is the current concentration of dark matter energy?

Without any pleasantries or formalities, Xia Chen went straight to the point as soon as he entered.

Karuni knew the situation was serious and replied directly, "Compared to three hours ago, when I contacted you, it has increased by another thirty percent, and is now close to seventy percent!"

This dark matter concentration detector was developed using cutting-edge technology from the ultimate world, and its concentration limit is not 100%.

This threshold means that if the concentration exceeds 100%, there is a very high probability that legendary spirits influenced and controlled by dark matter will appear in this area.

The higher the concentration, the stronger this legendary spirit becomes.
