A week had passed.
Located in the northeastern region of the Unova region, west of Undella Town.
"Tap, tap," the sound of footsteps echoed in the canyon known as "Giant Chasm."
The outsider making these footsteps was none other than Lance, who had traveled a great distance from Kanto to Unova last week, seeking to become a true hero.
It was strange that he was now in the Giant Chasm in the northeast of Unova.
This was because the Dragonspiral Tower, where the old woman told him the Black and White Dragons slumbered, was located in the northeast of the Unova region.
This was completely the opposite direction.
The reason was simple.
Three days ago, Lance had already gone to the Dragonspiral Tower and delivered a generous speech at the top of the tower.
He babbled on about his lofty ideal of creating a new world where Pokémon could live happily.
However, the only response he received was the whistling wind sweeping across the top of the tower.
At that time, Lance's face was very ugly.
Even with his less-than-stellar emotional intelligence, he could guess that Reshiram had not chosen him.
Lance was furious at the time.
He couldn't understand why the Dragon of Truth wouldn't choose him.
He was the strongest Dragon-type trainer in the world, and he also held the righteous ideal of creating a world where all Pokémon could live happily.
He should be the most suitable partner for the Hero of Truth.
In that case, why didn't it choose him?!
At that time, Lance, who was somewhat out of control, also issued his own question.
However, the only response he received was still the endless clouds and the howling wind.
The result was already determined, and even if Lance was unwilling, he could only accept it.
However, as soon as Lance left the Dragonspiral Tower, he immediately remembered something—the Unova Dragon had three heads!
He still had one last choice!
……
So, after being rejected by Reshiram, Lance returned to the Village of Dragons.
He learned from the old woman that Kyurem, the strongest of the Three Dragons of Ideals, lived in the Giant Chasm adjacent to Undella Town in the northeast.
However, even if she told Lance the information, the old woman was not optimistic that Kyurem would follow him.
Kyurem lived in the Giant Chasm, which was almost common knowledge in Unova.
But why didn't anyone dare to challenge him?
The reason was simple: he was too awesome to be caught!
In the past, there were indeed a few ignorant idiots who wanted to obtain Kyurem and went to the Giant Chasm.
But none of them could come back.
There were even rumors that "Kyurem eats people."
Over time, no one dared to enter the Giant Chasm for nearly a hundred years.
……
Just as Lance was about to enter the deepest part of the canyon, a cold current that made the dragons in Lance's Poké Balls feel apprehensive surged out, blowing his red hair and the cloak behind him wildly.
Countless geometric snowflakes, Double Ice Cream, and other native Unova Ice-type Pokémon flew out together, filling the sky above Lance's head.
Their vigilant eyes clearly wrote two words—don't move!
"I have something I want to see the master of this place about."
Lance looked at these Ice-type Pokémon without fear.
[Get out of here!]
An old voice echoed in the ears of Lance and his Dragon army.
Looking up.
In the cave deep in the canyon, an Ice Dragon with a huge body and extremely asymmetrical left and right sides walked out domineeringly.
Lance swallowed secretly.
This powerful pressure… this is the strongest dragon I want to pursue!
Lance flicked his arms open, and across a distance of a hundred meters, he could no longer suppress the fanaticism in his eyes, "Kyurem! I'm here for you! I am the strongest Dragon-type trainer in this world, and also the most suitable partner for you!"
[Scram!]
Kyurem, who was already irritated by losing to Hoopa Unbound, stomped on the ground.
Ice more exaggerated than Aokiji's Ice Age instantly dyed the rocky ground silver-white, and quickly spread towards Lance a hundred meters away.
At the critical moment, a huge Dragonite jumped out of the Poké Ball.
A Fire Punch slammed hard on the ground, and the erupting wall of fire briefly stopped the cold breath from continuing to advance.
"Tell me what you want! I will do my best to help you complete it!"
Taking advantage of the gap where the huge Dragonite was resisting, Lance covered his forehead with one hand and shouted through gritted teeth.
Kyurem possesses the attribute that can absolutely restrain his Dragon army, and even Lance doesn't have much confidence in defeating him in a head-on confrontation.
And even if he subdued it with brute force.
If Kyurem doesn't obey him from the bottom of his heart, then he can't be Giovanni's opponent either.
Therefore, Lance must make Kyurem submit both verbally and mentally.
Kyurem's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness when he heard this.
If it were normal, he would have transformed and cleaned up the other party.
But the current self really has a wish.
……
……
For a month, Cynthia and Shauna, who were half-dead from being tortured by the simplified version of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, sat in the dining area of the arena, eating voraciously with their heads down and without saying a word.
Soren turned on the TV and saw that the Unova channel was reporting news about Team Plasma.
Over the past few years, Team Plasma has been committed to promoting remarks about "liberating Pokémon."
In the final analysis, it is to let people give up using Poké Balls, or release Pokémon.
In name, it is "separating humans and Pokémon and returning Pokémon to true freedom."
But in reality, it is to let the people give up the power of Pokémon, so that this power can only be used by Team Plasma.
However, many people in Unova actually believed it.
This reminded Soren of the fate of a certain surrogate country in his previous life.
Fortunately, there are still smart people in the Unova League, and after discovering that Team Plasma's behavior was becoming more and more uncontrollable, they immediately sent high-end combat power to arrest them.
However, in the current state of the Unova League, who can defeat N, who possesses Zekrom?
"Will the Unova League call for reinforcements?"
Will, whose right eye had obvious bruises, joined the topic.
"A region will not easily ask other regions for help unless it is less than a ten-thousandth of a crisis, as that would make its own league seem very incompetent."
Soren shook his head.
"In this case, the Unova League can only pin its hopes on the Dragon of Truth."
Erika immediately thought of the legend of the Unova region.
Since ancient times, the Black and White Dragons have always been in opposition.
Now that the Black Dragon Zekrom has chosen a criminal boss, the White Dragon Reshiram should stand on the side of the League, right?
Soren's mind subconsciously flashed back to the two Unova girls he met at Professor Oak's laboratory two years ago.
If according to the original plot, Reshiram should choose one of them.
But now the plot has been messed up by his butterfly, and now Soren can't guarantee it.
Looking at the performance of the leagues in various regions in the original book when facing the crises created by criminal organizations, the worst performers are Kalos and Unova.
The league was taken over by criminal organizations, and then they relied on the protagonist to descend from the heavens.
It's just that the former is because the league itself is too bad, and the latter is because the enemy is too strong.
If Soren were to rank the criminal organizations in various regions, Team Rocket and Team Plasma would be in the first tier.
Team Galactic, which has Cyrus, and Team Flare, which has Celosia, are in the second tier.
The remaining crooked melons and cracked dates are not worth mentioning.
Team Plasma alone has N, Ghetsis, and Colress, three champion-level members.
Moreover, two of them possess legendary Pokémon.
It is normal for the Unova League, which is currently in an era of generational change, to be unable to defeat them.
But considering that those two little girls, Mei and Touko, seem to be only 9 years old this year?
They have not met the minimum trainer age required by the league, will Reshiram really choose them?
Soren chewed the steamed egg in his mouth and didn't think much about this issue.
Forget it, there's no need to think so much.
When the Unova League really can't hold on, let Hoopa open a portal to help.
Soren wiped his mouth with a napkin and received a call from Professor Oak.
Professor Oak claimed that because the Indigo Plateau Conference was disrupted by Chakra and others, Red and Blue hadn't been able to determine the winner, and were planning to find a new region to continue their journey and decide the winner at the next conference.
Just today, the two set the stage for their second year of travel in Alola.
The reason is simple: for the two who now possess the strength of the Elite Four level, other regions are no longer challenging.
But Alola is different, there are several champion-level Kahunas alone.
This is interesting!
After being told by Professor Oak, Soren remembered that the inaugural Alola League Manalo Conference was about to begin.
……
A week later, bad news came from Unova.
When Soren's family was sitting in front of the TV eating dinner, the news suddenly interrupted with an emergency message, and the beautiful Mistralton City TV female anchor looked terrified and said:
"Just now, we received an emergency message that Champion Alder has been defeated by N, the king of Team Plasma, a Pokémon League S-class wanted criminal, on Route 7!"
Cynthia's right hand holding the spoon was suspended in mid-air.
Following her, the former Sinnoh champion, the current Unova champion also lost?
Are criminal organizations so rampant now?
"Let's go and reinforce them!"
Cynthia, the only "righteous person" at the dining table, stood up angrily and shouted.
"Are we going in the identity of the League or Team Rocket?"
Erika looked at Soren.
Cynthia's originally righteous expression suddenly froze.
Damn.
She actually forgot that these people were criminals after being with them for a long time.
Soren thought for a while and said: "In this way, we will go directly in our public identities, and let Uncle Giovanni and the others secretly investigate the specific strength of Team Plasma. I heard that there is a serious criminal called [Dark Trinity] in the underworld of Unova, which can just make up for the vacancy left by Blaine and Fuji leaving, and Faba is dead again."
Dark Trinity, also known as Colress, is an S-class wanted criminal recorded by the Pokémon League.
He is guilty of research and use of weapons prohibited by orders, and serious crimes of illegally transforming Pokémon.
And he himself also possesses champion-level strength.
Therefore, he is listed as an S-class wanted criminal.
In the game, Colress joined after N left Team Plasma.
Soren didn't know if he had already joined Team Plasma at this time.
But now Team Rocket's goal is to control all the underworld in the Pokémon continent, and it is the time to employ people.
Such talents cannot be let go.
Cynthia's eyes widened.
She seemed to have heard something incredible.
Bl, Blaine?
Is that Blaine, the Indigo Plateau's second-ranked Elite Four member?
Oh no, because Giovanni's identity was exposed, Blaine is now the first Kahuna.
He, he is also a member of Team Rocket?
Cynthia staggered and almost fell, but thankfully Whitney supported her in time.
"Then I'll contact Mairin."
Whitney took out her mobile phone and said.
Hoopa is still Mairin's Pokémon, and Soren only occasionally borrows it.
Because he is going to Unova in his public identity, he can't let Hoopa Unbound open the portal this time, and he still has to call Hoopa.
Mairin lives in Hau'oli City on Melemele Island, and it will take at least half an hour to get here by normal means.
But well……
"Hmph!"
Two minutes later, Hoopa Unbound snorted coldly, and Mairin and Hoopa walked out of the huge golden ring.
"You can still play like this……"
Bai Caijiang was dumbfounded.
She has been in Alola for more than a year, and of course she also knows that Hoopa has the limitation of "cannot pass through his own rings".
But not being able to pass through his own rings does not mean that he cannot pass through Hoopa Unbound's rings.
Good guy, is this exploiting a bug?
"Okay, let's go."
Hoopa opened the portal to Unova, and Soren greeted everyone.
However, just as Soren stepped into the golden ring with one foot, the beautiful host on the TV shouted with a look of surprise:
"Dear viewers! News has just come from Route 7! Indigo League Champion Lance has arrived to reinforce! And defeated N!"
This time, not only Bai Caijiang, but Soren was also stunned.
Lance's strength is above N's, which can be confirmed.
But N has Zekrom!
Okay, now Lance also has a huge Dragonite, so it shouldn't be a big problem to defeat the other party.
But… is this too fast?
The news said that Alder lost ten minutes ago, and now it says that Lance has won.
In other words, Lance defeated N, who possesses Zekrom, in less than ten minutes?
If Lorelei came, Soren would believe it, but Lance… no, it's impossible, right?
Five minutes later, at the summit of Route 7 in the Unova region.
Soren's family passed through the golden ring.
They happened to see N being handcuffed by the Unova police.
But what was even more eye-catching was the direction of the summit.
"That's… Kyurem?!"
Cynthia recognized the giant dragon next to Lance at a glance.
She has a good relationship with many female trainers in Unova, and she has naturally heard of the local legends of Unova.
Not to mention the great battle of the deities in Lumiose City a year ago, she was also at the scene when Hoopa Unbound summoned Kyurem.
And the Black Dragon Zekrom was lying in front of Kyurem like a dead dog, obviously without the ability to fight.
"Ah… so that's what happened… With Kyurem here, it's not surprising that he won so easily."
Soren suddenly realized.
Lance's strength as a trainer is already above N's, and Kyurem can also beat Zekrom to the ground.
In a double loss situation, how can N win?
"No, that's not right, how could Kyurem follow that guy?"
Will complained.
He also participated in the great battle of the deities a year ago.
Although he was only playing support, he also understood the temper of this grumpy old dragon.
It would actually be willing to follow humans?
"Is it because of that?"
Rika pointed at Lance.
Lance walked up to the unconscious Zekrom with a cold expression, holding a triangular rhombus-shaped syringe in his hand.
"No! No!!"
N, who always kept his emotions hidden, struggled and shouted in the Plasma Team's ranks, trying to stop Lance in this way.
However, the Plasma Team's king's combat abilities were truly lacking.
Two officers holding his shoulders were enough to keep N from moving.
"Become Kyurem's food!"
Lance shouted, and the Genesect Wedge in his hand was fiercely inserted into the back of Zekrom's head.
Instantly, Kyurem's conduits rushed towards Zekrom like plugs into a socket, eerily inserting into the opponent's body.
The bodies of the two dragons bloomed with brilliant holy light, like the Key Stone and Evolution Stone during Mega Evolution, and gradually merged together.
Finally, the light gradually dissipated.
At the top of the mountain, Zekrom was gone.
All that remained was Lance, and Dark Kyurem, or rather, True Dark Kyurem.
"Roar——!!!"
The loud roar made the entire Twist Mountain tremble.
N, who was being controlled, knelt on the ground, filled with deep self-blame.
"That Kyurem's aura is even stronger than before."
Alder said with emotion.
Not to mention him, even Iris, who was an amateur at battles, could see it.
"It seems this is the reason why Kyurem is willing to follow Lance."
Su Sheng's expression didn't change much.
He recognized what the awl in Lance's hand was at a glance—the Genesect Wedge.
Originally called "Sacred Stone", it was an important tool for dividing the Tao Dragon into three 2500 years ago.
Of course, it also has the ability to re-fuse the three dragons.
After more than two thousand years, the original Sacred Stone was transformed into the Genesect Wedge.
But it still possesses the same power as in the past.
In modern times, this thing was handed over to Drayden, the Gym Leader of Opelucid City, by the chairwoman of the Unova League.
In the game, Team Plasma attacked Opelucid City for this thing.
Unexpectedly, Lance got it ahead of time now.
But with Lance's status, he must have obtained this thing peacefully.
And being able to restore the power of its past peak is also a considerable temptation for Kyurem.
So this grumpy old dragon cooperated with Lance.
"Next is you! Reshiram!"
At this moment, Lance on the mountaintop shouted in a Dio-like manner.
Obviously, Lance harbored some resentment that Reshiram didn't choose him before.
You used to ignore me, but now I want you to be out of my league!
Seeing Lance shout these words somewhat frantically, everyone below frowned secretly.
"That guy... is not right..."
Rika raised her eyebrows.
Not to mention Rika, even Cynthia and Alder, two righteous people, vaguely felt that Lance's personality felt a little different than before.
Zekrom is a criminal's Pokémon, and it's barely justifiable for Lance to let Kyurem absorb it, but Reshiram didn't do anything, right?
"Let's go home."
However, Su Sheng was not interested in this matter.
But if Kyurem really restores the power of its peak 2500 years ago, then he has to deal with it seriously.
Later, Su Sheng received a call from Rose, asking when Su Sheng could come.
Su Sheng on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed, damn it, he forgot about it.
Su Sheng also guessed what Rose wanted to ask him to do. After hanging up the phone, he sent a message in the Su family group:
[Galar has very interesting things, want to go and see it together?]
