Chapter 436: Birth of a God
"Will, thank you... for many things."
In the darkness, Kyurem said to Will with his back turned.
"...It's nothing, I didn't do it to help you."
Will fell silent for a moment, then shook his head.
He could probably guess why Kyurem would thank him.
Will had indeed done a lot of things related to Kyurem.
Saved his sealed friend Victini.
Continued the Kingdom of the Vale, the country he and his deceased partner created together back then.
A series of national policies made the relationship between humans and Pokémon in the Unova land harmonious, making the future world Kyurem wanted to protect arrive faster.
These things could all be considered helping Kyurem.
But Will indeed didn't do these things for him.
When he did these, he didn't even think of Kyurem.
Kyurem glanced at him, smiled with narrowed eyes, and didn't say much.
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious, why did you help the first-generation king establish the Kingdom of the Vale?"
Will looked at Kyurem doubtfully.
How could such a Legendary Pokémon actively help a human?
Could it be there is some unknown past between the first-generation king and Kyurem?
"Well..."
Kyurem's face showed a nostalgic look, considering for a while before speaking,
"Simply put, I foresaw the matter of the Kingdom of the Vale, also foresaw the split of Zekrom and Reshiram, and specifically went there to find the first-generation king to help him."
"Do you also have the ability to foresee?"
Will looked at him in surprise.
Logically speaking, the ability to foresee the future should appear on Psychic-type Pokémon.
"No, I saw it when the dragon veins were active. I saw you in the dragon veins, and also saw the future where humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully."
Kyurem shook his head.
"Dragon veins?"
"Mm."
"...So that's it."
Will frowned deeply.
Since his consciousness could travel through time when the dragon veins went berserk.
Then it seems not difficult to accept that Kyurem saw the future when the dragon veins were active.
Especially.
The dragon veins shouldn't have been very stable a thousand years ago, maybe active once every few decades or centuries, letting the energy in the dragon veins dissipate a part, which made the soil quality of the Unova land far exceed other regions.
With that kind of fluctuation frequency, it's normal for Kyurem to notice the dragon veins.
It should be after Kyurem and the others created the Sword of the Vale, the fluctuation of the dragon veins stabilized, rarely causing problems again.
Saying this.
Kyurem knew in advance that he would build a country with the first-generation king, or in order to successfully usher in a future where humans and Pokémon coexist peacefully.
So he specifically ran to find the first-generation king according to the future trajectory he saw.
Result accidentally hit it off, becoming recognized partners?
Will thought of this and nodded secretly.
He felt he had figured out everything.
"..."
Kyurem looked at Will nodding there, couldn't help but snicker secretly.
Didn't know what Will was thinking.
But it's certain.
The facts definitely have some discrepancies with what Will thought.
"By the way, Kyurem, the human world rumors that you are a Pokémon from space, is this true?"
At this time Will asked curiously again.
"Mm, that's right."
Kyurem nodded, then added a sentence in advance when Will opened his mouth to ask the next question,
"You don't need to ask how I was born, I don't know either, they probably don't know either; anyway, since my self-consciousness appeared, I have been wandering around the universe confusedly, until I descended on this world, then I started to understand various things."
This "they" should refer to Ho-Oh and other First-Level Gods.
Similar questions.
Will had asked those Legendary and Mythical Pokémon he had good relationships with in the past.
The birth of Mythical Pokémon leaves no trace; they themselves can't understand their origins, basically once conscious, they are orphans who know nothing.
Their abilities are diverse, simply existing in fantasy, so they are also called "Illusory Pokémon."
Will guesses.
Their birth is based on "fantasy."
To put it bluntly.
Born based on the beliefs of living creatures.
And humans, since the monster era, are the most intelligent, superstitious creatures with the largest number.
So many Mythical Pokémon might be born based on human fantasy.
Humans believe Pokémon should have a unified ancestor, so there is the "Ancestor God" Mew.
Humans believe the sea should have a favored child, so there is the "Prince of the Sea" Manaphy.
Humans believe nightmares have their master, the "Pitch-Black Pokémon" Darkrai emerged as the times require.
As for Gods, that is, so-called Legendary Pokémon.
Broadly divided into two categories.
One category.
Gods appearing accompanying the birth of a certain "rule."
Most First-Level Gods belong to this rank; they existed since the chaotic era when this world was not yet perfect.
For example, first had the ozone layer, then had Rayquaza.
Another example, first had the concept of life, then had the existence of Xerneas.
Another example, had the concepts of time and space, then appeared Dialga and Palkia.
Another category.
Gods born from certain natural elements, or derived from other Gods and Mythical Pokémon.
The representative of the former is the Legendary Titans (Regis).
What Will can be sure of is his good friend, Regice is an individual born from the ice layer, having nothing to do with Regigigas.
The representatives of the latter are the Legendary Beasts and Mewtwo.
The legend of the Legendary Beasts and Ho-Oh is already a story known to everyone.
And Mewtwo is a God artificially created from Mew's genes.
If forced to say, there might be a third kind—acquired Gods like Will who rival Gods relying on their own strength.
However.
These, without exception, are all native Gods of this world.
And Kyurem whom Will is asking now, is a God from the universe.
Whether such birth conditions still apply to Gods from outside these worlds, Will is curious about this, so he asked personally.
Regarding the birth of Kyurem.
Will has some understanding from the PM settings.
According to the PM world setting.
Before Kyurem was born, it should be a "comet."
"Kyurem, I have some guesses about your birth, do you want to listen? Maybe, you can find your own kind according to what I said later, even try to breed your own kind yourself."
Will turned his head to look at Kyurem.
"Oh? Tell me."
Kyurem was indeed interested.
"Before you were born, you should have been a comet; do you know the composition of a comet?"
Will raised his hand, pointing to the large part of ice and a small part of rock on Kyurem's body,
"The proportion of water ice in a comet is up to 70% to 80%, and the remaining part is composed of rocky materials and dust; this looks similar to your body."
"Then what's with Zekrom and Reshiram?"
Kyurem asked again.
According to Will's saying, he really seems to be a comet.
But the problem is where did Zekrom and Reshiram come from?
"When a comet enters the atmosphere, its surface temperature will rise to thousands of degrees Celsius; the dust and rocky materials on your body surface will be heated to an incandescent state, this might be the origin of Reshiram."
"At the same time, the comet will compress the air ahead, generating a stream of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation; this might be the origin of Zekrom."
"But they are not ordinary fire and electricity; this might also be the reason why they didn't have their own bodies at first."
Will pinched his chin and analyzed.
Regarding what he said, he also wasn't sure in his heart.
After all, official didn't give the specific birth setting of Kyurem, only said it's related to comets, so can only rely on Will to analyze himself.
Anyway, he felt his analysis was quite bluffing.
"What you said sounds like that... what a pity, I can't enter the ozone layer, otherwise I would go up and get a few comets back to raise; anyway, I'm idle usually."
Kyurem sighed, then aimed at Will.
He seemed to be waiting for Will to actively speak up to take the conversation.
"Ozone layer? Is it because of Rayquaza?"
"Just one of the reasons. By the way, do you know that guy?"
Kyurem raised his eyebrows, asking closely.
"Don't know."
Will shook his head decisively.
He doesn't know Rayquaza of both worlds.
The only time they met was when teaching Kyogre a lesson in the previous life, Ho-Oh and Lugia came to help, attracting Rayquaza's observation.
"...Is that so."
Kyurem widened his eyes; a flash of confusion seemed to pass through his eyes, then he nodded.
"What's wrong? Your emotional fluctuation was so big just now."
Will frowned at Kyurem.
Could it be this guy has some grudge with Rayquaza?
Right.
When Kyurem entered the Earth from the universe back then, he definitely would encounter the Earth's guardian god—Rayquaza; the two strongest dragons might have had a battle back then.
If so, the one defeated is mostly Rayquaza.
After all.
Kyurem at that time was definitely the strongest state of three dragons combined—Unova Divine Dragon.
But Rayquaza might not be in the strongest state—Mega Rayquaza.
Rayquaza in ordinary form is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Unova Divine Dragon.
Only Mega Rayquaza can fight with it.
"Nothing, met once before."
Kyurem shook his head, lying on the ground frowning in deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.
Will glanced outside.
The condition on Wendy's side seemed almost done.
"I think I should go."
He got up and walked outside.
"Will."
"Hm?"
Will turned his head doubtfully.
"Will you feel sad? Being forever separated from those recognized partners and friends from the past."
Kyurem lay looking at Will; golden pupils stared at him quietly.
"Yes."
Will answered frankly.
"Do you miss the first-generation king?"
"Tch, who would miss him; just an idiot, head full of humans and Pokémon being able to coexist peacefully..."
Kyurem sneered disdainfully.
So that's it.
The future Kyurem wants to protect stems from you.
Will smiled looking at Kyurem's duplicitous appearance, and didn't expose him.
Looking at it now, Gods are not more open-minded than ordinary creatures.
Life is like the morning star and the evening star, never to meet.
No one is exempt.
