Chapter 558: Azor and Reversal Rayquaza
Chapter 558: Azor and Reversal Rayquaza
Since "disciplining" Azor and returning, Reversal Rayquaza felt like its mindset had elevated to a new level, and the entire Pokemon world seemed less agitated.
It lay leisurely in the flower bed, and it was time to listen to its fans' comments again.
As Reversal Rayquaza munched on an apple, it spoke to Lotad on its phone, "Lotad, read me the messages from those humans!"
"Received, Lotad!" Lotad quickly opened Reversal Rayquaza's personal page and began reading aloud the private messages humans had sent to Reversal Rayquaza, as it usually did.
"A netizen named Black Rose says: Ahhh, Reversal Rayquaza, quickly tell me the outcome of that great battle!"
"Flaming Red Lips says: Who won that battle? You defeated the Creation God, right?"
"Invincible Charizard says: I knew it! You must have won! Otherwise, Midina would have been destroyed by the Creation God by now!"
"..."
Reversal Rayquaza listened with pride, nodding along.
Indeed, they had won! A mere Creation God was no match for them.
However, even though they spoke of their victory, the reality of this outcome surprised even Reversal Rayquaza.
After all, in the past, it had caused trouble and provoked Azor several times, but all its attempts had failed.
Yet, this time, it had succeeded.
This made Reversal Rayquaza realize that Azor wasn't invincible, and even the World Creator could be defeated by the combined efforts of humans and Pokemon born from this world.
Lotad searched for the trending topics and then exclaimed, "It's incredible, Lotad! The hype around our battle with the Creation God has surpassed one hundred million! People all over the world are discussing Motor Mask and us, Lotad!"
"Wow! Your fan base is growing at an astonishing rate, Lotad! In just a few hours, it has increased by twelve million, Lotad!"
Upon hearing this, Reversal Rayquaza's eyes snapped open, and a brilliant gleam shot out from its blood-red irises.
"Have I surpassed the Fertility King?" it asked.
Lotad quickly checked the Fertility King's fan count and weakly replied, "No, the Fertility King gained twenty million more fans, Lotad."
Reversal Rayquaza: "..."
That Pokemon was simply unmatched.
The Fertility King had been the main force in this Azor's subjugation, and those fans were rightfully theirs.
Reversal Rayquaza conceded, impressed.
However, at that moment, Reversal Rayquaza suddenly felt something amiss, as if something was watching it!
Hmm? What was it?
Reversal Rayquaza immediately became alert, scanning its surroundings, but it found nothing.
"Must be my imagination," Reversal Rayquaza thought.
But the next second, its peripheral vision caught sight of a figure resembling Azor floating above, staring at it.
Reversal Rayquaza: !!!
What figure resembled Azor? It was Azor!
Reversal Rayquaza was shocked, and countless possibilities flashed through its mind.
Could Azor be here for revenge?
Or perhaps, it wanted to seal it away in this Reverse World forever?
"Sigh."
A leisurely sigh echoed through the heavens and earth.
Looking down at Reversal Rayquaza, Azor reminisced about the time it created it, Temporal Tyrant, and Spatial Sentinel.
The world needed all three of them; Temporal Tyrant controlled the flow of time, Spatial Sentinel maintained the stability of space, and Reversal Rayquaza played an indispensable role in the process.
It and the Reverse World were the foundation of the real world, supporting all its beings, and only when the three were united could the real world truly develop.
What Azor hadn't anticipated was that Reversal Rayquaza would believe it had been banished to this ruined world.
Three hundred years ago, when Reversal Rayquaza disrupted space-time and caused a space-time fissure in the Washi Region, Azor didn't pursue the matter. Instead, it summoned a human from another world to resolve the catastrophe.
Three hundred years later, Reversal Rayquaza once again joined forces with humans to retaliate against Azor's avatar.
This time, it was time to settle the score.
The next second, infinite power manifested from Azor's body.
Brilliant and holy light burst forth from Azor's body, rapidly spreading in all directions.
Seeing this, Reversal Rayquaza, floating on the Sky Island, was terrified. It tried to resist, but the light felt like a thousand pounds, pinning it to the ground, unable to move.
Lotad, on the other hand, was unaffected and flew around anxiously, wanting to help but not knowing how.
Lotad tried to contact Shizuru but found the signal blocked, unable to send any messages!
"Do you know your mistake?" Azor's majestic voice echoed in Reversal Rayquaza's ear.
Reversal Rayquaza clenched its teeth.
What mistake had it made?
Wait! Could it be that Azor had discovered the disparaging comments it posted about Azor online?
Oh no... Rayquaza was in a state of panic, like a child caught in the act, its massive body tightly pressed against the ground.
Azor stared at this scene, and then slowly spoke, "I thought you would understand everything, but you have disappointed my expectations."
Upon hearing these words, Rayquaza's heart sank.
As a Pokemon created by Azor, Rayquaza regarded Azor as a father god.
Although it often thought of causing chaos and seeking revenge, deep down, it still saw Azor as its father god.
And now, Azor was disappointed in it...
"I... I understand now," Rayquaza spoke up.
Yes, after experiencing the recent events, it had come to understand the truth.
Azor had never banished it; instead, like Temporal Tyrant and Spatial Sentinel, it had been sent to this place to maintain the operation of the real world...
"Sigh."
Azor sighed again.
He gazed at Rayquaza and continued, "To me, each one of you is important. Without Temporal Tyrant, time cannot flow normally. Without Spatial Sentinel, space would become chaotic, causing spacetime rifts. And without you, the real world would lose its support and fall into chaos."
Rayquaza listened to these words in a daze.
These words... Azor had never said them to them before.
"So, don't disappoint my trust."
After saying this, Azor fixed his gaze on Rayquaza, and then his figure disappeared into a dazzling light.
This time, he completely left this world.
Rayquaza, now free, did not immediately get up.
It thought for a long time before flying again.
"What should we do, Rotom?" Rotom, who was scared witless, asked in a trembling voice.
Rayquaza: "Help me write a clarification!"
Rotom was taken aback, confusion in his voice, "Clarify what, Rotom?"
Rayquaza: "Clarify that Azor is not an evil Pokemon, he is the greatest god in this world..."
On July 20th, 201 years after the League Year, half a month had passed since the Paldea Region incident.
The heat of the battle between Azor, the creator of the world, and the legendary Pokemon still hadn't cooled down.
People passionately discussed the identities and strengths of the legendary Pokemon, as well as the methods used by Motor Mask to capture them.
During this time, those who knew that Fertility King was at Shizuru Ranch, like Thomas Mayor, Claire, and mailman Evan, came to inquire about Shizuru's situation, thinking he was the mysterious Motor Mask.
However, Shizuru deflected their questions, saying that Fertility King had enough of ranch life and was going on a world tour.
Thomas Mayor felt sorry that Fertility King had left, but considering the poor creature's unfortunate past, he hoped it could have a better life.
As for Eci's inquiry, Shizuru continued to deflect with the same excuse, but Eci remained convinced that he was Motor Mask, just lacking evidence.
Thus, people's attention gradually shifted away from Shizuru Ranch.
The Azor incident came to a close.
Shizuru began to pay attention to the movements of the Pokemon on the World Tree.
It is worth mentioning that, thanks to the Mystical Labyrinth brought by Azor, the Heroic Adventure Team Guild established on the World Tree had officially started its operations.
The Pokemon there each had their own roles, divided into exploration and logistics teams.
The exploration team Pokemon were skilled in battles and were responsible for entering the Mystical Labyrinth to explore, collect resources, and help Pokemon in need.
The logistics team Pokemon, on the other hand, stayed at the expedition guild headquarters, providing food, accommodation, and medical services to the exploring Pokemon.
Swinub took on the role of the guild's president and was considered a half-member of the exploration team. As president, it would venture into the labyrinth to gather intelligence, compile a list of Pokemon in need of help, and create quests for the ranch Pokemon.
Correspondingly, Pokemon that completed these quests would receive rewards.
The Farfetch'd in the ranch, upon hearing that they could gain experience there, also moved to the World Tree and entered the labyrinth to train and improve their skills.
Overall, the World Tree was bustling with activity.
Shizuru had informed Mew and Teddiursa of this, and they were very happy, but they said they were close to covering the entire Sinnoh Continent and wanted to wait until the end of their Sinnoh Region journey before returning to the ranch.
Shizuru felt helpless about this.
After fulfilling his promise with Rayquaza, Shizuru had nothing special to do.
Aside from tending to the farm, he spent his days at home, and when Qi Shu came, they would watch horror movies together with the Pokemon.
Most of the time, Shizuru used the Alorus Phone given by Azor to observe the Pokemon on the World Tree.
Even when using the toilet, he would bring the Alorus Phone with him, often spending half an hour at a time, so long that Gogoat would scratch at the door outside.
But there was no other choice, as the information displayed on this Alorus Phone was extremely intriguing.
For example, the Onions Duck that had moved to the World Tree.
[Onions Duck
Height: 1m
Weight: 24kg
Mission: None
Current Location: Mystical Labyrinth
Condition: Minor Injury]
Below was the record of what happened to Onions Duck after entering the labyrinth.
[League Year 201, July 20th, 8:00am, Onions Duck entered the Mystical Labyrinth to begin its adventure.]
[Onions Duck encountered a powerful Beedrill but easily defeated it.]
[Onions Duck found an orange fruit in Beedrill's forest.]
[Onions Duck discovered a mysterious cave and picked up a Cursed Talisman inside.]
[Onions Duck decided to venture deeper and encountered a fierce battle with a Heatran dwelling deep within the cave, eventually defeating it and obtaining the Dragon Fang.]
[Onions Duck helped an injured Round Shark in the cave, and the Round Shark, intrigued by Onions Duck's mention of the Expedition Guild, decided to join its team.]
Shizuru was stunned when he read the last piece of information.
Onions Duck had picked up a Round Shark?
Round Shark, the quasi-deity Pokemon of the Sinnoh Region, whose final evolution, Flame Fang Shark, was incredibly powerful and served as Champion Hirona's ace.
Wild Round Sharks were extremely rare, and yet Onions Duck had encountered one within just a few days of entering the labyrinth?
Could it be that this Round Shark wanted to return to the World Tree with Onions Duck?
The updates about Onions Duck ended here, with no further information available for the time being.
Shizuru was eager to know what happened next between Onions Duck and Round Shark.
Just then, a strange sound came from outside the bathroom.
"Ah, gah!"
Gogoat was scratching at the door again.
Shizuru: "..."
"Just a moment, I'll be out soon!"
Gogoat outside the door stopped.
As the Onions Duck's interface hadn't updated in a while, Shizuru casually switched to another Pokemon, landing on Riding Sheep.
This Riding Sheep had been rescued by Mewtwo and, inspired by the Riding Goats, decided to become a powerful Pokemon like them.
Thus, after the appearance of the Mystical Labyrinth, Riding Sheep embarked on its own journey to save the Pokemon trapped within.
If all went well, Riding Sheep should currently be training in the labyrinth.
However, when Shizuru opened Riding Sheep's interface and saw the information, he was stunned.
[League Year 201, July 15th, 7:38am, Riding Sheep entered the Alorus 2357th World through the Mystical Labyrinth.]
[Riding Sheep encountered the Sword Saints: Kuparion, Delakion, and Bilijion.]
[Riding Sheep's desire to help other Pokemon impressed the Sword Saints, and it became a member of their group, following them in their training.]
[The Sword Saints were intrigued by Riding Sheep's mention of the Riding Goats.]
[The Sword Saints shared the story of Keldeo's challenge to Chief Lem and its enlightenment to become a true Sword Saint.]
[Riding Sheep wanted to challenge Chief Lem but was stopped by Bilijion.]
[Late at night, Riding Sheep secretly challenged Chief Lem, suffered a crushing defeat, and was teleported back to the World Tree by the Alorus Teleport Bracelet.]
[Unwilling to give up, Riding Sheep re-entered the Mystical Labyrinth, determined to try again.]
[Riding Sheep's challenge failed.]
[Riding Sheep continued to challenge.]
[...]
After several pages of scrolling, Shizuru finally found the conclusion to this story.
[Unable to endure the constant challenges, Chief Lem acknowledged Riding Sheep's perseverance and recognized its status as a Sword Saint. After sending Riding Sheep away, Chief Lem immediately sealed the cave entrance with Ice Barrier, preventing outsiders from entering.]
[Riding Sheep returned to the Sword Saints.]
[The Sword Saints were astonished by Riding Sheep's heroic deeds.]
Shizuru: "..."
He could already imagine the expressions on Chief Lem and the Sword Saints' faces.
However, there was one last line, seemingly a summary of Riding Sheep's exploration by the Alorus Phone.
[Riding Sheep's perseverance and strength significantly increased, and it gained the friendship of Kuparion, Bilijion, and Delakion.]
