Himeko listened to that voice.
For a moment.
Certain emotions seemed to be stirred awake inside her.
The next second.
She suddenly raised her head.
Within her field of vision.
A figure had appeared.
Looking closely.
This!!!
Wasn't this Shiko?!
Right now.
Although he was no longer in WarGreymon's form.
Although he had already changed into Omegamon's form.
Himeko still recognized him at once.
In that instant.
Countless memories surged into her heart.
Scene after scene appeared before her eyes.
"Shiko!"
Himeko called out.
The next second.
She felt the corners of her mouth trembling faintly.
Shiko looked at her.
He quietly watched Himeko.
In Shiko's eyes.
Scenes from the past also surfaced one after another.
He had to admit.
Back when he was still weak.
This human had indeed given him a great deal of protection and help.
Shiko did not speak.
He merely stared at her for a while.
Then nodded.
And sat down.
The next second.
Before Himeko could even react.
Lopunny and Gardevoir.
Took the initiative to run out of their Poké Balls.
The two of them.
Knew that Shiko had come.
Naturally, they could no longer hold themselves back.
However.
The moment they came out of their Poké Balls.
They felt the powerful aura coming from Shiko.
It was not merely powerful.
There was also.
A trembling that came from the soul, and a suppressive pressure from deep within their bloodlines.
It made them quickly stop in their tracks.
Originally, they had wanted to rush over and get close to him.
But now.
They hesitated.
However, in the next second.
After seeing Shiko smile at them.
The two of them immediately cast aside that feeling.
And sprinted toward Shiko.
They threw themselves into his arms.
Although these two little ones had already grown powerful enough to reach their current level.
The affection they felt toward Shiko in their hearts.
Had not changed in the slightest.
In fact.
As time passed.
It had only grown stronger and stronger.
The two of them nestled in Shiko's arms for a while.
Chattering away as they told him many things.
Shiko listened quietly.
From time to time, he nodded and smiled.
That counted as his response to them.
His feet hung down above the ground.
Sunlight spread over him just like that.
The current Shiko.
Looked so sacred that he seemed almost like an angel.
Himeko watched quietly from the side.
For a moment, she was left somewhat dazed.
She did not know how much time passed.
Perhaps it was only a short while.
Or perhaps it was a very long time.
In any case, by the time Himeko came back to her senses.
Lopunny and Gardevoir were already gone.
It seemed they had gone to the nearby seaside to play around.
Now, here.
Only Shiko and Himeko were left.
Himeko lowered her head.
There were many things in her heart.
But she did not ask any of them.
Just as the air was beginning to feel somewhat heavy.
She suddenly remembered what Shiko had said earlier.
All at once, she thought of a topic.
"Were you serious about what you said just now?"
Himeko raised her head and looked at Shiko.
She asked with some curiosity.
"What do you think?"
Shiko asked in return.
He looked toward an open clearing not far away.
Over there.
Botamon and the others.
Were playing happily.
Himeko looked at Shiko as she asked her question.
Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
She had not expected.
That this guess was actually true.
It was truly far too shocking.
"That's right."
Shiko nodded.
Confirming her thoughts.
"How is that possible?"
Himeko cried out in surprise.
Although she had received a clear answer from Shiko.
She still found it hard to believe.
"If Arceus could do it, why wouldn't I be able to?"
Shiko looked into her eyes.
And said those words in a calm tone.
The moment those words were spoken.
Stormy waves instantly surged through Himeko's heart.
Heavens!
Although the human Alliance had long since had such a guess!
Still!
Hearing Shiko personally confirm it!
Truly left her extremely shocked.
That was right.
The implication behind Shiko's words.
Was that.
The current him.
Just like the former Arceus.
Had already become the Creator God of this world.
No!
The Creator God of this universe!
In other words, during that battle in outer space.
The Shiko standing before her.
Had truly won.
Moreover.
He had even directly killed Arceus.
Absorbed its power.
And obtained its authority!
Only then.
Could he say something like this!
"It is just as you think."
"I won."
"And this is the first creation I made after gaining that authority."
Shiko smiled faintly.
Looking at the Digimon before him.
"Do you know why your ability failed?"
"Because."
"They aren't Pokémon at all."
"They are Digimon that I created!"
Shiko spoke quietly.
After receiving all of this information.
Himeko was completely stunned.
The information Shiko had given her.
Was far too shocking.
"Digimon?"
Himeko mulled over that word.
Quietly looking at the Digimon before her.
"You may take one with you and raise it."
Shiko looked at Himeko and said.
Digimon were the same as Pokémon.
They also needed human companionship.
At the moment.
These little ones had already spent enough time here.
Shiko also felt.
That it was time for them to set out on their own journeys.
"Am I allowed to?"
Himeko was somewhat surprised.
She immediately became a little nervous.
Only after seeing Shiko nod.
Did she finally settle down.
"Choose one."
"You help me choose."
Himeko was somewhat unable to make up her mind.
Hearing this.
Shiko's gaze returned to the Digimon before him.
A moment later.
He selected a suitable one for Himeko.
"This one. I think he suits you very well."
