Chapter 594: Is This Real?
Chapter 594: Is This Real?
"Dragon... Dragon Vein?!"
Jiangta stared at the cracking ground of Einroudak, her face filled with shock.
How could this be possible?
Others might not understand the significance of the Earth Sword, but as a native of the Earthfolk, she was well aware of their history. It was the rebellion of the Dragon Vein that forced the Earthfolk King to use the Earth Sword for suppression, and it hadn't occurred again for thousands of years.
The Earth Sword was supposed to keep the Dragon Vein under control, so why would it suddenly rebel?
"It's probably the Land Cloud," Jinghe said, leaning against the wall.
"Land Cloud?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"The Tri-Magnet Item, the three clouds that govern the fertility of the Unova region, the Land Cloud has the power to control part of the Unova region's land. The Dragon Vein itself is an embodiment of the earth, and its compatibility and authority align with the Land Cloud," Jinghe explained briefly.
The group fell silent.
If what Jinghe said was true, it was indeed possible.
"If the Land Cloud has appeared, then the Thunder Cloud and the Tornado Cloud might be here as well," Jinghe continued.
Individually, the three clouds weren't particularly powerful, except for the Land Cloud. But when combined, their control over the Unova region's nature became formidable.
The true strength of the Brave Crown lay in their command over nature.
"Mother!"
At that moment, a young man with black and white hair, dressed similarly to Jiangta and Kalita, ran down from the castle on the Earth Sword. He happened to meet Jinghe and the others.
"Dreado!" Jiangta called out.
This young man was none other than Jiangta's son, one of the protagonists in the movie 'Victini and the Black/White Hero, Zekrom/Reshiram'. He was the youth acknowledged by Zekrom or Reshiram, Dreado.
His expression was slightly flustered, clearly not expecting the sudden rebellion of the Dragon Vein.
However, Dreado soon noticed the small Victini at Jinghe's feet, holding the young Yuki. His eyes lit up.
"Victini?"
"Dreado, this is Teacher Jinghe, and..." Jiangta briefly introduced Jinghe and the others to Dreado.
They all exchanged brief greetings.
"What's going on? Why has the Land Cloud appeared in Einroudak, and why is the Dragon Vein rebelling?" Kalita, the trainer of the Flashing Three-Headed Evil Dragon, was perplexed.
The legend of the Tri-Magnet Item was well-known in the Unova region, but they had never appeared near Einroudak before.
Why did they suddenly show up this time?
And why were they heading straight for the Dragon Vein of the Earthfolk?
"It's probably the work of the Plasma Team," Jinghe said.
"The Plasma Team?"
"It's too complicated to explain all at once, but I suspect the Plasma Team's target is the power of the Dragon Vein, or perhaps the sleeping Reshiram within the Earth Sword," Jinghe guessed.
Reshiram!
The group shuddered.
Just then, Dreado, who had been silent throughout the explanation, spoke up:
"Perhaps... I have a way to resolve this crisis."
Hmm?
Everyone's gaze turned to him, but his eyes were fixed on Victini.
Jinghe's eyebrows furrowed, as if he had guessed what Dreado was about to say.
Dreado continued, "According to the legend, our Earthfolk King suppressed the Dragon Vein with the power of Victini and the Earth Sword. If we can borrow Victini's power again, perhaps..."
After a brief pause, his expression became resolute.
"Perhaps we can borrow Victini's power to suppress the Dragon Vein once more, and even bring the Earth Sword back to our homeland, restoring the Earthfolk's land to its former glory!"
As an Earthfolk, Dreado's dream was to return the Earth Sword to their homeland and restore the land to its original state.
To achieve this, he often spent time in the castle on the Earth Sword, quietly studying the ancient texts left by the King, deciphering the seals, and trying to understand how the Earth Sword was controlled.
Although he hadn't fully grasped it yet, he believed that with Victini's power, he could make it happen.
"Victini?"
Jiangta and Kalita's gazes also turned to Victini.
Victini, seemingly unaware of the attention, smiled innocently while holding Yuki's horn.
"Nee~"
The small fang seemed particularly adorable.
"If we can borrow Victini's power, perhaps we can..." Jiangta murmured.
But at that moment, Jinghe stepped forward between Dreado, Victini, and Yuki, his voice stern, "I refuse."
Hmm?
Not only Dreado and Jiangta, but even Xihuona and the others seemed confused by Jinghe's refusal.
After a moment of distraction, Xihuona stood by Jinghe's side.
"Nee?"
Victini tilted its head, looking at Jinghe with confusion.
Jinghe, with a serious expression, interrupted Kanta's explanation, "I know."
Before Kanta could finish, Jinghe's hand stopped her.
"So, I refuse." Jinghe's tone turned solemn.
"Why?" Kalita couldn't help but ask.
Jinghe turned, picked up Bikute from Youjilasa's head, and looked at it with a serious gaze, as Bikute looked on curiously.
"Neh-mee~"
Bikute, though confused by Jinghe's actions, felt the kindness in him and liked him.
It rubbed its small head against Jinghe's cheek affectionately.
Jinghe placed Bikute on his head, while Meroyetta perched on his other shoulder.
"Meroyetta~"
"Neh-mee~"
Jinghe patted Meroyetta and Bikute with a smile, then turned to the three Earthfolk, his voice deep and resonant.
"Bikute, the friend of the legendary 'King of the Earth Country,' used his power to suppress the Dragon Vein and protect all the Earthfolk and Einroudak."
"But after the war caused by the two princes ended and the Dragon Vein stabilized, Bikute was permanently sealed within this city."
"Despite being a hero, it couldn't even gain freedom."
A thousand years!
If Jinghe were to speak for Bikute—do you know how I've spent these thousand years?
As Kanta, Kalita, and Dreido looked at Bikute on Jinghe's head, their eyes expressed gratitude and guilt.
A hero, yet denied freedom.
"Neh-mee~"
Bikute rubbed its head against Jinghe's affectionately.
This Pokemon, Bikute, selflessly helps those it considers friends, even if it doesn't benefit itself.
It's in its nature.
But this nature—one exploitation is enough!
Jinghe took out a macaron and held it above his head, gently pinching Bikute's soft cheek.
Soon, a crisp 'crack' sound came from his head.
"But this is all for..." Dreido's eyes turned serious, despite his guilt. He continued, "For everyone, for Einroudak, for the homeland of the Earthfolk."
It's all for everyone!
Everyone?
Jinghe interrupted Dreido again, his eyes stern as he asked, "Then tell me, if Bikute lends its power, what will it experience, what will it face, and what will it become?"
"It..."
Dreido's pupils constricted, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't find the words.
Jinghe let out a cold laugh.
"You know that Bikute has infinite energy, but its recovery speed is limited. Initially, the seal of the old king's power extraction from Bikute was manageable, but later on... the little guy will suffer greatly!"
If the extraction is excessive, Bikute might even die from exhaustion.
Luck played a part in its survival a thousand years ago.
"What?!" Kanta and the others looked at Dreido in surprise.
Dreido's face contorted with pain.
He knew, but he was still researching the king's legacy. To be honest, Jinghe hadn't formed a good impression of Dreido from the movie.
Bikute, a hero, not only lacked gratitude and freedom but was also being exploited again.
All for Dreido's dream, for everyone.
"Yo-gee!"
Youjilasa, standing by Jinghe's feet, let out a cry and stepped in front of him, spreading its arms and glaring fiercely at Dreido.
Don't you dare touch my little brother!
Daye and Jiadeliya also stepped forward, standing by Jinghe and Xiluona's side, their intentions clear.
"Dreido," Kanta and Kalita also tried to persuade Dreido.
Indeed, it was unfair to Bikute, and they owed it a great deal.
But Dreido believed that for the greater good, personal sacrifices were necessary.
His expression turned solemn, and he took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but it's for the sake of all of Einroudak and the homeland of the Earthfolk."
A psychic wave emanated from him, summoning a Gothita and a Manaphy, followed by a swarm of Poke Balls.
Clearly, Dreido had been preparing for this plan for a long time, only missing Bikute.
But upon seeing these Pokemon, Jinghe smiled.
In front of us, you dare to use force. Are you overestimating yourself, or underestimating us?"
"Hngh!"
The Gengar, who had been observing for a while, suddenly emerged from Jinghe's shadow, rubbing its wrists and grinning maliciously.
Buzz—
Xihuona and Da Ye's Poke Balls at their waists opened on their own.
"Roar!!!"
The majestic Braviary spread its wings, its fins resembling scythes reflecting a chilling light.
"Coo!!"
The Infernape's flames atop its head surged, eyeing the Psychic-type Pokemon before it with an eager expression.
Upon seeing these three Pokemon, Dreado's breath hitched.
He instantly felt an immense threat.
But before Gengar and the others could make a move, Jadylia stepped forward and said, "Since they are Psychic-type Pokemon, I'll take care of them."
As she spoke, a psychic aura shone in her eyes, and as her hair and skirt fluttered, her entire body slowly levitated.
Buzz—
In an instant, all the Poke Balls, except for Dreado's Gothitelle and Manaphy, halted their movements.
At the same time, Jadylia's Gothitelle and Manaphy appeared.
With Jadylia's psychic power, she effortlessly overwhelmed Dreado.
Jinghe clicked his tongue lightly.
Tsk, Jadylia's psychic power couldn't be used normally during the tournament, which was a huge disadvantage for her.
As a psychic user, Jadylia's strongest state was always when her psychic power and her Pokemon's abilities were connected.
Dreado opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Mew?"
Bikutini, perched on Jinghe's head, had just finished eating a macaron and was still trying to understand the situation.
It blinked its eyes, filled with innocence.
Jinghe led the way upwards.
He wanted to see how the Plasma Team and the Landorus had tampered with the Dragon Vein.
"Wait, wait!" Dreado broke out in a cold sweat, struggling to speak. "Apart from Bikutini's power, how...how do you plan to stop this disaster?"
Jinghe's steps briefly faltered.
Without turning back, he replied nonchalantly, "They have the Three Cloud Gods."
"But it's just the Three Cloud Gods."
Just the Three Cloud Gods?
Dreado's expression was a mix of emotions.
Is this Jinghe's confidence?
Jangta and Karita glanced at Dreado, shook their heads, and followed suit.
Jinghe and the others reached the balcony of the Landorus's castle and peered down.
Below, a massive fissure had opened in the earth, emitting an eerie red light. Vegetation around the fissure withered and vanished silently.
The crack continued to widen, threatening to engulf the entire forest.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think the 'God of Destruction' Yveltal had arrived in Einroudak," Jinghe muttered.
The Dragon Vein's upheaval resembled Yveltal's power to destroy everything in the Kalos region.
Ultimately, it was related to the rhythm of 'life energy.'
"What?" Xihuona didn't quite catch what Jinghe was saying.
"No," Da Ye replied, perched on the railing, gazing at the scene below. "Teacher Jinghe, how do we stop this?"
"I don't know either," Jinghe shrugged.
He looked up at the sky.
Where was Darkrai?
If it didn't show up soon, they'd have to take matters into their own hands.
Mega Gengar, with Bikutini's blessing, should be able to hold their own against Landorus.
If necessary, they could even use Dynamax.
And with Xihuona and Da Ye, stopping Tornadus and Thundurus shouldn't be too difficult.
"Huh?" Da Ye was taken aback by Jinghe's words. "Then why did you say that?"
"I think you can handle it," Jinghe smiled.
Me? Da Ye pointed at himself, opened his mouth, and finally spoke with a dejected expression.
"Is it that easy?"
Buzz—
Suddenly, a dazzling white light rose from below, enveloping Jinghe and the others.
In the blink of an eye, Jinghe found himself in a pure white world.
Then, an ancient, androgynous voice spoke in his ear.
[What is your true self?]
Jinghe was taken aback, gazing at the massive figure slowly emerging, its twin ponytails swaying, and its white body blending with the pure white surroundings.
Wait.
Is this the Truth Dragon, Reshiram?!
Did it activate because of Da Ye's words?
Jinghe muttered, "Is it that easy?"
Reshiram: [?]
