Chapter 516: You Are a Dragon-type Pokémon?
Movie version events.
Do not necessarily happen.
For example, if the Rayquaza of this world is green, then there is a very high probability that the "Hoopa (Archdjinni)" event in Dahara City ten years from now will not happen.
But correspondingly...
The "Destiny Deoxys" event ten years from now, or Team Rocket's Rayquaza capture plan, could all possibly happen.
Moreover.
Some things, even if they happen, won't necessarily follow the trajectory in the movies.
Just like the space-time battle in Alamos Town in the previous life.
Ash and his friends didn't arrive and resolve the incident at the time it happened, but rather it was resolved after the Sinnoh League sacrificed many people and paid an extremely heavy price.
Just like the Keldeo in this life.
His personality is completely different from the one in the movie version.
To put it bluntly, the plots in the movies.
Are just one of countless possible directions.
But this also means.
If the Archdjinni event happens in this world, Ash might not be able to help Rayquaza and little Hoopa deal with the seven gods and Hoopa Unbound.
If the other Legendary Pokémon cannot arrive in time, or even don't know about this matter at all.
Then the direction of this world is destruction.
Will didn't doubt it in the slightest.
Among countless Pokémon worlds, there must be some worlds that head towards destruction.
Just like Team Rainbow Rocket.
Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre—each comes from a world where they have already realized their ambitions.
Those are all considered a kind of direction for the Pokémon world.
Perhaps.
This world Will came to in this life.
The original direction was heading towards destruction.
Or perhaps.
This is exactly the world where that movie version happens.
Both are possible.
And Will obviously couldn't possibly gamble on this possibility.
He must be well prepared to deal with the possible occurrence of the Archdjinni event in Dahara City.
'Ten years from now... the specific time is unknown, truly troublesome. Should I go to Dahara City to find the Prison Bottle in advance?'
'No, I can't touch the Prison Bottle. Creatures that touch the Prison Bottle will be possessed by evil energy, lose their reason, and proactively open the Prison Bottle. When that time comes, Rayquaza will probably have to fight one more me.'
'But if I don't touch the Prison Bottle, how can I seal it to prevent Hoopa Unbound from running out...'
Will kept muttering in his heart.
Since knowing Rayquaza is dark-skinned (Shiny), his heart has been a tangled mess.
"Lucario?"
Cynthia's voice of doubt reached Will's ears, waking him up from his thoughts.
"Hm?"
"We're here."
Cynthia raised her hand and rubbed Will's ear, looking at him with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Will shook his head, the gloom in his eyes temporarily dispelled by Blonde-kun.
In the end.
The Archdjinni event won't necessarily happen.
He is merely taking precautions.
And worrying about something that might not necessarily happen at least ten years later.
This is completely somewhat superfluous.
Not to mention how many things can be done in ten years; even if it really happens, that belongs to the jurisdiction of the Kalos League.
Moreover.
At this very moment.
The most important thing is clearly the prophecy of the Draconid people right now.
"If there's anything, remember to tell me, I will help Lucario."
"I know."
Will responded with a smile.
He of course knows Cynthia and these partners of his are no ordinary people; even in the Archdjinni event, they can play a huge role.
It's just that.
That matter is too far in the future.
Will hasn't thought of a solution yet.
So there's no need to tell Cynthia for now.
Better handle the current matter of Rayquaza with her first.
Looking up at the surroundings.
What appeared before their eyes was truly a village located underground.
But unlike those underground worlds easily thousands of meters deep, the location of Meteor Village is quite close to the surface.
Moreover, the rock layer overhead has various holes and fissures of different sizes.
These holes connect to the surface, allowing sunlight, air, and mountain springs from outside to enter underground.
If there's any hidden danger...
It's probably giving people a feeling that the rock layer overhead could collapse at any time.
However.
This place hasn't collapsed for two thousand years.
Presumably, the Draconid people definitely have some special safety measures and maintenance methods.
"What sharp gazes."
Steven, walking in front, swept a glance at the Draconid people living here and curled his lips.
The gazes of these people around looking at them had no malice.
But they also had absolutely nothing to do with friendliness.
Under such circumstances, staring straight at a person would appear extremely impolite.
"Just like Zinnia said before."
"Sorry."
Zinnia scratched her head somewhat awkwardly.
She has a very good impression of Cynthia now, already regarding her as her first friend on the surface.
And a friend who came to help them, the Draconid people.
Her clan members being impolite to her friend made Zinnia feel somewhat ashamed.
"Are these two the two little Champions representing the Pokémon League? Truly young, hehe..."
An elderly person with a stooped body, leaning on a cane, slowly walked over.
"There's a barb in those words."
Will secretly curled his lips.
He could feel the 'complaint' in the elderly person's heart.
The probable reason is...
Seeing Steven and Cynthia are young, so feeling their strength isn't strong enough, thinking the Hoenn League doesn't take the matter of their Lord Dragon God seriously enough?
It's normal for the elderly person to have complaints in their heart, and not excessive either.
The Draconid people.
Are the only people on this land qualified to complain about the Hoenn League.
After all.
Before the Hoenn League was established.
It was the Draconid people who guarded this land for two thousand years.
Even two hundred years ago.
When the founders of the Hoenn League were quelling chaos, the Draconid people also frequently extended a helping hand.
The Draconid people.
Are true great seniors and great benefactors of the Hoenn League.
Moreover.
Even after the Hoenn League was established.
Although the Draconid people always maintain an annoyingly arrogant face, in the face of major issues of right and wrong, they won't be stingy in lending a hand to help the Hoenn League.
Especially.
Whenever the two idiots ([Kyogre and Groudon]) start fighting.
The Draconid people are always the first to rush up and call Rayquaza.
So.
This elderly person truly has the qualification to complain about the Hoenn League.
Not to mention Steven, this junior.
Even if Steven's dad Mr. Stone and the Hoenn League Chairman came, hearing these words they could only bow and scrape to explain.
However.
Young doesn't necessarily mean weak.
Those Elders in the Leagues of various regions.
Besides the former Chairmen and former Chiefs, are there any stronger than the current Champions?
Even the former Chairmen and former Chiefs aren't necessarily stronger than the current Champions.
As the saying goes, the waves behind drive on those before, each generation is stronger than the last.
It seems this elderly person doesn't believe in this reasoning.
"Speaking of which, this elderly person should be a character like the Elder, right?"
Will leaned forward and lowered his head, wanting to see what the elderly person looked like.
Mm.
Too old.
The face is all wrinkled together, the stature is also exceptionally short and small, and the voice is extremely hoarse and rough.
To the extent that he couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman.
The less he could tell.
The more curious Will became.
So his head got closer and closer.
He guessed it should be a woman.
The Elder of the Draconid people can only be succeeded by a person possessing the ability of 'prophecy', and the ability of 'prophecy' only appears in the girls of the Draconid people.
"This is the Elder of our Draconid people; we all call her 'Elder Aster'."
Zinnia reached out and introduced.
"Hm?!"
Elder Aster looked at Will, who almost glued his head to her face, suddenly widened her eyes, and reached out to gently pat the dog's head twice,
"You little dog pup, how can you be so impolite? Can such a little guy really help Rayquaza deal with the enemy?"
"Sorry! Sorry! He has no malice."
Cynthia hurriedly pulled the dog back.
She also didn't expect that with one moment of inattention, Lucario almost lay on the old lady's body.
Mainly because Will hadn't shown such impolite behavior before.
Today truly caught Cynthia off guard.
Will awkwardly raised his hand and scratched his head, twitching his ears.
No helping it.
Mainly this...
It's his first time seeing a human whose gender he couldn't tell; he got a bit too absorbed in studying it.
"Tini tini..."
The invisible Victini lying on Will's chest was almost dying of laughter.
He tried his best to cover his mouth, deeply afraid the sound would leak from between his fingers and be heard by these seemingly hard-to-get-along-with humans.
Smack!
Following Will unhappily patting his little butt.
Victini hurriedly restrained his laughter.
"Hmph, follow me, don't stand here embarrassing yourselves."
Elder Aster coldly snorted, turned around and left.
Will and the others followed.
As they entered a small wooden cabin, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.
"Although I don't particularly trust your abilities, I suppose that Little Potato wouldn't dare casually send two parallel imports (frauds) to brush me off."
Elder Aster sat on the rocking chair on her own, her gaze sweeping towards Steven and Cynthia.
As mentioned before.
The Draconid people often reside underground, not going to the surface unless there are major events.
So even Elder Aster basically has no understanding of the two young Champions.
Hasn't even watched their matches.
Naturally also doesn't know how much of her skill Cynthia and Steven possess.
But she still relatively trusts 'Little Potato'.
After all.
If Little Potato didn't have a single bit of discernment, this Hoenn League Chairman seat wouldn't be his to sit on.
Next.
Elder Aster looked at the dog who offended her just now.
And just with this look.
Her brows suddenly frowned tightly.
With a whoosh, she stood up and walked briskly towards Will.
"Elder Aster?"
Cynthia, like a protective mother, hurriedly reached out to hug the dog.
She thought Elder Aster was going to teach Will a lesson for the matter just now.
"Hm?!"
Elder Aster walked around to Will's back, her pupils shrinking slightly.
Zinnia walked over in confusion, followed Elder Aster's gaze, and said somewhat surprised:
"Elder? Wait, is this a Meteor Line?!"
"Meteor Line?"
Will muttered a sentence.
No impression.
Looking at the gazes of Elder Aster and Zinnia...
I have a thing called a Meteor Line behind my butt?
"What is a Meteor Line?"
Cynthia asked.
"An invisible path left behind when Dragon-attribute Pokémon move, that is a Meteor Line, a path only we Draconid people can see and harness."
Zinnia explained a bit, then frowned and sized up Will,
"...You are a Dragon-type Pokémon?"
