"By the way, Mammon, can I use the wisp stone slab?"
Arceus's teasing words rang out, as it looked at Mammon with a smile.
"It's best not to…" Mammon grumbled in his heart. He really wanted to say that, but it would be too shameless.
"Use them! Go ahead and use them!"
Mammon waved his arm grandly.
"We Trainers must bravely forge ahead. Mere wisp stone slab cannot stop us!"
Although he spoke loudly, Mammon still had a slight worry.
He pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked the white-gold Arceus in front of him.
"You don't have the legend plate, do you, Arceus?"
"Guess?"
Arceus showed a human-like, humorous expression, which was quite cute.
Guess my geoduck!
Mammon looked embarrassed. Actually, for normal wisp stone slab, Mammon was mentally prepared.
After all, he currently had five wisp stone slab transformed into life jewels: Ground, Dragon, Grass, Water, and Electric, as well as the Dread Plate he obtained in the Whirl Islands.
This meant Arceus was missing a full six wisp stone slab, which in turn meant six types of attribute attacks could hit Arceus.
But… the premise was that Arceus didn't have the legend plate. One legend plate was worth eighteen; it was a true all-attribute plate.
As long as Arceus used the legend plate, it would have 'invincible' written all over its face. What was the point of fighting then?
"I think, for overly taboo items, we should still ban them, right?"
Mammon carefully chose his words and discussed with Arceus.
"You make a good point." Arceus nodded in agreement.
"Arceus is still a straightforward Pokémon!"
Mammon breathed a sigh of relief. Challenging Arceus was already an extremely difficult task.
Not to mention, this Arceus was a high-level Arceus clone with the legend plate.
Hmm, in Mammon's view, Arceus clones also had levels.
Like the one in the movie, where the wisp stone slab were the source of life, and even when it crashed into a meteor, the wisp stone slab could be knocked out, that was clearly a low-level Arceus.
And the one in front of him definitely belonged to a high-level Arceus. The difference between the two was probably not just whether they possessed the legend plate.
Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Arceus opposite him.
At this moment, the Hall of Origin was also silent.
Mammon licked his somewhat dry lips and didn't hesitate any longer, decisively taking out his Poké Balls.
"Everyone! Prepare for battle!"
Poké Balls opened one after another in the air, revealing Dark Mewtwo, Dark Lugia, Kyogre, Little Rayquaza, Reshiram, Kyurem, Yveltal, Necrozma, Black Rayquaza, Zacian, Calyrex, Eternatus, Terapagos, and Miraidon.
There were also two borrowed Pokémon: Lunala and Zekrom.
In mid-air, a black shadowy vortex swirled, and Origin Forme Giratina slowly swam out of the Distortion World.
Spatial vortices and temporal vortices also spun, as Palkia and Dialga began to stealthily observe through spacetime.
Mammon and Arceus both noticed this, but paid no mind.
Arceus's green eyes gazed at the large group of Legendary Pokémon before it. Even with its temperament, it was quite moved at this moment.
"No matter how I look at it, Mammon~ you really are an incredible human."
Arceus's kind and gentle telepathy reached Mammon's ears.
These Legendary Pokémon had vastly different personalities; some were arrogant and conceited, others were boastful, and some even had no liking for humans.
But Mammon was actually able to capture all of them, which was truly amazing.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"It is indeed high praise for you."
Arceus smiled faintly.
"Everyone! Go all out!"
Mammon grinned, giving orders to Black Rayquaza and the other Pokémon.
Various calls, some majestic, some graceful, some melodious, echoed through the Hall of Origin, filled with colorful lights.
Dark Mewtwo, Little Rayquaza, and Black Rayquaza underwent Mega Evolution, while Kyogre underwent Primal Reversion.
Kyurem's DNA Splicers grabbed Reshiram and Zekrom, 'refining' them into its Dragon God Kyurem form.
Zacian entered its Sword King form, Calyrex rode Spectrier, and Terapagos entered its Tera form.
Necrozma possessed Lunala, then underwent Ultra Burst to enter its Ultra Necrozma form.
Hoopa also opened its rings, transforming into its Hoopa Unbound form. Eternatus flew into the sky, and Eternatus Eternamax enveloped the heavens.
Dark Lugia, Yveltal, and Miraidon looked at each other, standing silently in place, like mere minions.
Well, everyone else was 'transforming,' and they weren't doing anything, which was quite awkward.
"Hoopa."
"Hoopa knows!"
The demon of space spread its six demonic arms, and three spatial golden rings flew out.
From one golden ring, Super Rayquaza flew out, clearly having been prepared in advance.
From the middle golden ring, two Zygarde Cores jumped out.
And from another spatial golden ring, a bewildered colorful Fearow slowly descended, still with unwashed lava on its body. Clearly, Ho-Oh had just been soaking in a hot spring.
Where is this? How did I end up here?
Seeing the imposing and astonishing Legendary Pokémon around it, Ho-Oh was stunned.
The two Zygarde Cores were also completely bewildered.
"It's you again! Human!!!"
Ho-Oh finally saw Mammon, its bird eyes instantly becoming razor-sharp, gritting its teeth.
"Oh my~ Long time no see, Ho-Oh. How pleasant, still taking a bath."
"Don't joke around with me, human, what do you want?!"
Ho-Oh was furious. It was enjoying its bath, and then it was suddenly teleported.
"Isn't it obvious? Ho-Oh, look over there."
Mammon was very innocent, pointing straight ahead.
Ho-Oh turned its head and saw the Creator Arceus, shimmering with a faint golden light.
Ho-Oh's bird eyes immediately cleared. It fell silent.
Two seconds later, Ho-Oh flapped its large wings non-stop, trying to drill back into the spatial golden ring.
It wanted to go home!!
But Hoopa Unbound wouldn't give it that chance. The spatial golden ring instantly shrank, and Ho-Oh couldn't get through.
Yet Ho-Oh still didn't give up, flapping its wings, ready to fly away from this dangerous place.
Hoopa Unbound pouted, hooked a finger, and a golden ring appeared in front of Ho-Oh.
In a flash, Ho-Oh was back where it started.
"Human!!!"
The big fire chicken was practically fuming.
"What exactly do you want?!"
"I'm going to challenge Arceus, so I really need your help, Ho-Oh. You know, Ho-Oh, we're old partners."
"I have no relation to you! And I'm not your partner. Our agreement ended long ago!"
Ho-Oh was practically laughing with anger, its body trembling.
"And, are you even speaking human language, human! I'm just a Ho-Oh! I'm just a Ho-Oh!"
Ho-Oh had never imagined that one day it would stand before Arceus.
What on earth had it done to deserve this?
"I believe in you, Ho-Oh."
Mammon simply replied with a smile, his tone firm and sincere.
"Hehehe…" The infuriated Ho-Oh wanted to curse.
What good is your belief, you idiot!
At this moment, Ho-Oh regretted it immensely. It regretted how it had gone insane to make a deal with this scumbag human. Had its brain gone soft?
Shinny Rayquaza, Dragon God Kyurem, a two-digit number of Legendary Pokémon in a chaotic battle—this person had never acted like a decent human being.
And now, he actually wanted to fight Arceus!!
Damn it!!
"Think about it, this isn't a bad thing, Ho-Oh." Mammon coaxed.
"Since we started cooperating, hasn't your bird life experience become much, much richer? These are all shining moments in your long years."
"And this time, we challenge Arceus together. Losing is understandable, but if we win…"
"Ho-Oh, you'll have something worth bragging about for a thousand years! A thousand years!!"
Mammon's tone was very seductive.
"Such an opportunity is very rare. Look at your companions around you, this lineup is unprecedented. This is our closest chance to defeat Arceus!"
"If it weren't for our good relationship, I wouldn't even call you, you know? Wouldn't it be better if I called Lugia?"
Mammon even felt he was giving Ho-Oh an opportunity.
"You should even thank me."
"You!"
Ho-Oh was once again infuriated, glaring at Mammon.
This human, he talks as if he's singing! Did it need this opportunity?
"Regardless, even if we disagree, you won't let us leave, will you?"
Zygarde Core Z1 said helplessly.
"Of course, I'm doing something big, and you are all helpful. More power means a greater chance of winning."
Mammon said as a matter of course.
"I understand. Consider it a repayment for when you saved my other half back then." Z1 understood. It didn't refuse.
After all, judging by Ho-Oh's situation, refusing was useless anyway.
"Zedou~!"
The next moment, the two Zygarde Cores looked at each other. Accompanied by a high-pitched roar, green light shot into the sky.
Countless Zigarde cells flew in like lightning from the horizon, converging into a green tornado.
With a boom, the green tornado burst open, and a black-green giant Pokémon appeared.
Zygarde Complete Forme!
"…"
Ho-Oh looked at the Zigarde that had compromised so easily, its bird eyes twitching.
It 'betrayed' so quickly? What should it do?
Ho-Oh pondered whether to participate in what might be the only chance in its bird life.
"Phew~ Everyone! We must go all out!"
But Mammon had already assumed Ho-Oh agreed, letting out a long sigh, making his final pre-battle pep talk.
"Let Arceus see our limits!!"
