Darkrai felt a bit of cold sweat upon hearing that question, but at the same time he was truly stumped by it.
Because even he himself did not know whether such a thing could happen. In theory, if it were an ordinary Moltres, perhaps by killing this Moltres one could inherit its divinity. And if one then managed to defend it for a period of time and stabilize it, then one would become the true legendary Moltres.
But this was Tyranitar, and moreover, it was the first time something like this had ever happened. And, in essence, Tyranitar did not have fire as its primary type; fire was only one of its hidden types. Could it really inherit a fire-type divinity?
Not necessarily.
In reality, Cain had only said it casually. A rather bold idea had suddenly occurred to him, but if he truly had to make Tyranitar kill Moltres, deep down he would find it quite difficult.
After all, that was still a legendary Moltres!
He set aside that unrealistic idea and focused all of his attention on Tyranitar.
At that moment, the dark red patterns on Tyranitar's body had almost completely stabilized. The fluctuations in Tyranitar's aura were also calming down, and even the Legendary Aura around its body had mostly withdrawn; it could only be perceived at a very short distance.
However, Cain had already made the system record that special type of aura fluctuation beforehand, so if he came into contact with it again in the future, he would likely be able to detect it himself without needing Darkrai to warn him.
"TTTYYYRRRAAANN!!!"
Tyranitar let out a roar toward the sky, and a fierce aura exploded from its body. Cain, who was closest, instinctively wrapped his body with psychic power, but even so he was pushed backward again and again by Tyranitar's pressure. If Darkrai had not reacted in time to appear beside Cain and stop that surge of aura, he would probably have been thrown even farther away.
Finally, after a few moments, Tyranitar's aura stabilized completely.
And Tyranitar at that moment, both in strength and presence, had clearly reached the second barrier of the Champion level.
Cain passed the system scan over it and obtained Tyranitar's current data: data belonging to the second barrier of the Champion level!

Its level had directly broken through the barrier to reach level 90, and moreover, in the equipped items section there had appeared something called Qualification Aura. It was the first time Cain had seen something like this, although from the looks of it, it should have a great connection with the so-called Legendary Aura that Darkrai had mentioned.
He directed his mental focus toward that data, and indeed obtained the system's explanation.
Name: Qualification Aura
Description: A mysterious aura originating from the true legendary Pokémon Moltres. It is said to possess unfathomable potential and is related to the true identity of a legendary Pokémon.
Effect: Unknown
Note: This is not something an ordinary Pokémon can possess; anyone who possesses it will undoubtedly be one of the most outstanding existences among numerous Pokémon.
After reading the description, it was almost as if he had read nothing at all.
In other words, it was most likely that the system's database also did not store information about it, so even though it had now detected and identified it, he still did not know its concrete function.
For the time being, Cain pushed this matter to the back of his mind and smiled as he looked at Tyranitar.
"Tyranitar, how do you feel?"
"Tyran!" Tyranitar let out a grunt with narrowed eyes.
It felt wonderful. At the same time, it also showed Cain its enormous biceps, with an air of "I'm incredibly strong."
"Haha, good. I'm afraid a tough battle still awaits us soon, so you need to prepare." When he mentioned that tough battle, Cain's expression became somewhat more serious.
At that moment, the Sacred Church had already completely sealed off the summit of Mt. Silver, so something was undoubtedly happening inside. If the League had the advantage, that was still fine, but if the Sacred Church had the advantage... Cain did not even know whether entering would be a good thing or a bad thing.
Thinking of this, Cain took out the Moltres he had just captured.
A legendary Pokémon was still a legendary Pokémon. Its natural recovery ability was truly powerful. In such a short time, the feathers that had previously been withered had already almost completely recovered.
It was just that, because Gengar and Darkrai had repeatedly attacked it with Dream Eater, the mental damage it suffered was still quite serious. Moreover, due to the beating Tyranitar had given it, its bones were somewhat dislocated and nearly disassembled.
Cain took out a large number of potions and special pills and used them directly on Moltres. With those medicines and Moltres's own powerful recovery ability, it would probably regain combat capability before long.
After treating Moltres's injuries, he returned it to its Poké Ball and released Salamence. Then he jumped onto its back and flew toward the summit of Mt. Silver.
What helped him make that decision was by no means some supposed moral conscience.
It was because he had just sensed something entering the range of his perception, and moreover, it was heading toward Mt. Silver at an extremely high speed.
If that existence was present, then even if the Sacred Church truly had a certain advantage, Cain would no longer be so worried.
Moreover, with the numerous Unown he possessed, even if he could not withstand the attacks of the Sacred Church, he would still have means to protect himself.
From Cain's current perspective, it was still not the time for the League to collapse. After all, the main foundation of his identity was still based on the League's system; second came Team Rocket, and lastly Team Heaven.
The collapse of the League would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to his interests.
Furthermore, a society that suddenly lost the attention and control of the League would inevitably fall into chaos, and that kind of chaos was not something Cain wished to see.
Only with a stable society could he obtain stable benefits.
Although there was also a considerable possibility that, after the League's collapse, Cain might obtain even greater benefits. If he operated things well, he might even be able to completely control the Hoenn region.
But was it really so easy to bring down the League?
