Chapter 531: Horn of the Dragon God
Just arriving underground.
Will saw a Vileplume and a Tangrowth starting a war, and not far away, two Ursaring could be seen confronting each other with bared fangs.
"Everyone, is so irritable."
Will narrowed his eyes.
This was obviously very wrong.
Vileplume and Tangrowth aside, the two Pokémon belonged to different species.
The two Ursaring can also be ignored, after all, Ursaring are solitary creatures.
But behind Will.
The two Breloom that were almost beating each other until their heads were broken and bleeding were obviously not right.
Breloom are very united social Pokémon.
They like to spar within the clan, but they always act with proper measure.
If it's not a fight for the boss position.
Then if one accidentally causes a partner to get hurt, the one who struck will shed tears before the injured one does.
But now.
These two Breloom clearly wanted to beat the other to death.
And there were no figures of other Breloom and Shroomish seen around, which meant this was not a fight for the boss position.
This was purely a fight to the death.
"It seems the Legendary Titans aren't the only ones with a problem. Rather, it should be said the problem of the Legendary Titans is actually the smallest."
Will turned around and approached the two Breloom.
The Breloom immediately attacked him.
Swift counterattack.
Easily blocked the Breloom's Mach Punch, and then knocked them out with two Karate Chops.
Afterwards.
Will threw the two unconscious Breloom into the hidden woods to hide them respectively.
He passed through the forest and river, heading all the way towards a certain small tree hollow.
But when he truly arrived at the small tree hollow.
The fact before his eyes made him feel distressed again.
"So, leaving aside that the Tree of Beginning hasn't given birth to consciousness, even the Mew of this world isn't here?"
Will sighed.
If it were the Mew from his previous life.
Then this small tree hollow would be piled with a large number of small toys.
But now.
This tree hollow is completely empty.
Not even a single Pokémon is willing to build a nest here.
Now Will was even more worried.
Can't ask the Tree of Beginning, Mew isn't here either; what exactly happened here, and who should he ask?
"Emmm, perhaps Psychic-type Pokémon still have individuals that maintain their calm."
Will pinched his chin, frowning in deep thought.
Psychic-type Pokémon have developed brains and stable minds; they should find it easier to maintain reason.
Right now he had no other choices.
Could only start looking inside the Tree of Beginning for those Pokémon that might still retain some consciousness.
Tremors constantly occurred within the Tree of Beginning.
Will couldn't distinguish anymore.
Which tremors originated from the battles of Pokémon inside the Tree of Beginning, and which originated from the battle between Gold and Regirock outside.
In short.
The situation of the Tree of Beginning.
Will definitely become increasingly listless as these tremors continue to occur.
Must quickly find the cause of the tremors and solve it; only then can the Tree of Beginning be saved.
Otherwise, the surface world might not necessarily be finished.
Except for the underground world of the Kalos region, which is absolutely finished.
As for whether the situation with the Legendary Titans is related to the situation here.
Will guesses there is a high probability it is.
Even if it isn't.
The problem of the Tree of Beginning must also be handled with priority.
This is an S-rank incident.
The matter of the Legendary Titans can be postponed.
The search for Psychic-type Pokémon didn't cost Will much time.
Only two or three minutes.
Will saw a Xatu standing on a certain tree with a dead-fish expression (nothing left to live for).
This Xatu was obviously different from the other Pokémon.
His body didn't have a violent aura.
Only sorrow and despair.
'He must know what is going on.'
Will thought this in his heart.
The next second.
He appeared beside Xatu.
The latter's eyes twitched.
Not scared by Will's sudden appearance.
"What's going on? Why did everyone lose their reason?"
"The Horn of the Dragon God, was stolen by humans, this place is going to be destroyed."
Xatu sighed sorrowfully.
Actually, he was also affected, just not becoming irritable, but becoming pessimistic.
"Horn of the Dragon God..."
A stream of light flashed past Will's eyes.
Rayquaza's incomplete tail echoed in his mind.
Could it be that thing?
Should he...
Fly to the ozone layer, find Rayquaza and ask for another piece?
This kind of thought is of course impossible.
Will was just thinking about what special effects Rayquaza's broken horn had, and why losing this thing would make the Pokémon living in the Tree of Beginning go on a rampage.
However, he couldn't figure out the reason.
Perhaps the Draconid people might know this matter.
Ilene might also possibly know.
"What kind of humans?"
Will reached out a hand and placed it on Xatu's shoulder.
Aura Power forcefully soothed him.
"Humans wearing black uniforms, with this mark on their bodies."
Xatu shook his head and drew a symbol on the ground with its claw.
[R]
Will looked at the letter on the ground, his eyes shifting, and then asked again,
"Does the Legendary Titans running out have anything to do with the Horn of the Dragon God? Those three big pillars."
"Yes."
Xatu's one sentence answer.
Completely clarified the cause of all this happening.
"I understand, I will bring the Horn of the Dragon God back."
Will nodded gently, turned around and left.
Xatu stared at Will, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
The pessimism and depression from the beginning had actually disappeared from his eyes, replaced by calmness and clarity.
Xatu turned his head, looked at this chaotic scene inside the Tree of Beginning, and frowned tightly.
Subsequently.
He started using Hypnosis everywhere to stop the wars, buying time for Will.
In the sky outside.
Will was flying quickly towards the direction where Cynthia and Gold were.
"The Horn of the Dragon God was stolen by Team Rocket. Don't know what use that thing has for them. If we bring that back, the two problems here should both be solved."
Will's face was calm, but he was quite anxious in his heart.
The matters on the Tree of Beginning's side must be resolved as soon as possible.
The longer it drags on.
The more Pokémon inside the Tree of Beginning will die in battle.
And the greater the sensation and destruction the Legendary Titans outside will cause.
But wanting to get the item back from the hands of sneak-and-hide sorts like Team Rocket is unusually difficult.
Combat power is sufficient.
The difficult part is finding the people.
Unfortunately, Giovanni hasn't mixed into the position of Viridian Gym Leader yet, otherwise he'd directly go capture the king.
Will returned to Cynthia and Gold's side at the fastest speed.
The battle here was still unresolved.
Gold had already sent out three Pokémon ganging up on Regirock.
Namely Tyranitar, Umbreon, and Honchkrow.
Just as Cynthia said.
This Champion is pretty much the same as a Dark-type specialist trainer.
Cynthia beside him actually hadn't intervened in the battle yet; it seemed Gold thought he had a chance of winning.
But right now is not the time to let them battle leisurely.
Will immediately told Cynthia the situation he investigated.
Immediately after, they acted together.
Forcefully intervened in the battle, defeated Regirock, and caught it using the newest specially-made Poké Balls.
It is said.
Pokémon caught using this kind of Poké Ball will fall into deep sleep for the next 48 hours and cannot proactively leave the Poké Ball.
Don't know how effective it is against Legendary Pokémon.
Can only use it for the time being.
After Gold understood the situation, he didn't get angry about the battle being forcefully intervened in.
He also hurried together with them, found the other two Legendary Titans, and treated them the same way.
"I'll go contact the Elite Four; they have always been tracking the matters of Team Rocket."
"We'll go find Queen Ilene. She might have an understanding of the Horn of the Dragon God and the situation of those Pokémon. We will contact you immediately if there's any news."
"Mm."
Gold nodded, rode on Honchkrow, and quickly left.
Looking at the gradually receding Gold.
Will couldn't help shaking his head.
Don't know if Team Rocket knows, their action of stealing the Horn of the Dragon God attracted two Champions.
Originally it was Team Rocket vs. Elite Four + Eight Gym Leaders.
Now that's great, have to add two Champions.
Will was just pondering before.
He and Cynthia seemingly hadn't produced any impact on Team Rocket's development.
Well look.
The impact is coming right away.
Half an hour later.
The terrace of Cameran Palace.
This time Gold's figure couldn't be seen.
"Horn of the Dragon God? Oh, I know, it's written in my great-grandmother Queen Rin's notebook. Wait a moment."
Hearing the name of this thing, Ilene frowned and returned to the bedroom.
"Rin, seems to be a Queen from a thousand years ago. This Queen extensively recruited Aura Guardians at the time, and it's precisely because of this move that Rota City later gained the title of 'City of Aura'."
Cynthia recalled the impression of the name Rin in her mind.
"Is that so? I'm not clear."
Will glanced at her and shook his head.
He isn't very clear about the Rin of this world.
He knows the measurements (three circumferences) of the Rin from the previous world though.
Mm.
Lucario said so.
And it wasn't Will who asked; it was Lorelei who was too curious about that Queen, so she kept pestering and asking.
Will didn't want to hear it while beside them.
Ilene quickly returned and informed them of all the intelligence she knew about the Horn of the Dragon God:
"Queen Rin once had a brave friend with a different surname. She loved to explore various things, which included some unknown places—the inside of the Tree of Beginning."
"And when this senior went deep into the Tree of Beginning, she discovered the existence of the Horn of the Dragon God."
"According to what that senior said, that is a dragon horn that constantly emits a terrifying aura. It produces an extremely strong oppressive feeling on all surrounding Pokémon whose strength is not powerful enough. Within the coverage range of this dragon horn's aura, all Pokémon behave themselves."
"Hm? Ah!"
Reading up to here, Ilene suddenly paused, and then her eyes widened fiercely.
"What's wrong?"
Cynthia hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"Do you know about that biggest war of the century that happened a thousand years ago?"
Ilene looked excitedly at the person and dog.
"The war stopped by the Aura Guardian Aaron, right."
Will propped his chin, yawning.
"Aaron? Who? History says, the ones who stopped that war were many brave Aura Guardians."
"?"
Will put down his hand, looking at Ilene with a dumbfounded face.
But immediately following was happiness.
Because according to Ilene's meaning, if many Aura Guardians worked hard together, then Aaron wouldn't die, and Lucario wouldn't be sealed.
Then in the end.
Was Lucario smoothly promoted from an Aura Apprentice to an Aura Guardian?
If things are truly like this.
Then even though the Lucario of this life is not his friend, Will would still feel happy about it.
