Clink clink clink—
Hearing the sound of the red chains, Dialga and Palkia imdiately stopped their actions, almost like a conditioned response, looking in unison toward Johan.
When they saw the red chains floating in Johan's hands, both creatures' eyes twitched simultaneously.
You're really addicted to this binding play, aren't you?
Dialga and Palkia exchanged glances, the two legendary deities rarely agreeing on anything, but this ti reaching consensus.
Let's get out of here!
This place isn't safe, ti to flee!
Imdiately, Dialga roared, opening a ti rift, while Palkia swung its arms, slashing open a spatial crack.
Just as they were preparing to leave.
Whoosh—
Darkrai's form flashed, black mist surging as it spread its arms between Dialga and the ti rift. With blazing eyes fixed on Dialga, it sternly shouted:
"Did I say you could leave?!"
Simultaneously.
Gengar slipped through space and when Palkia was about to rush into the spatial crack, it found Gengar's mischievous head poking out, raising its eyebrows at Palkia.
Don't be in such a hurry to leave!
Darkrai and Gengar had actually blocked Dialga and Palkia's escape routes.
[Ridiculous! You think this can stop ?]
Palkia scoffed. Could a re Gengar stop it?
Although Palkia acknowledged Gengar had spatial talent—extraordinary for an ordinary Pokémon to interfere with the spatial crack it had opened.
But...
[I am the God of Space!]
Gengar grabbed the edges of the spatial crack with both hands, calling out to Johan.
"Ka-kaah!
Look, it's getting agitated!
"Gengar may not be able to stop you, but it can definitely delay you for a few seconds. Are you sure I won't do sothing in those seconds?" Johan's expression remained unchanged as he spoke clearly.
Palkia's expression shifted slightly. Before it could look at Johan, it heard him continue:
"Besides, look at your crack—where does it lead?"
Hearing this, Palkia looked carefully and saw that the spatial crack it had opened actually... led to the Distortion World!
And in the Distortion World, Giratina was holding a teacup, leisurely taking a sip before waving at it.
What's up, Palkia.
Palkia's expression imdiately soured.
It had thought Gengar rely possessed so spatial talent, but never imagined it could redirect its spatial crack to the Distortion World.
This one...
Palkia had to take Gengar more seriously.
On the other side, although Darkrai was no match for Dialga, it was handling the situation much more smoothly than Gengar. When it said you can't leave, you can't leave—unless you kill !
"Dialga, Palkia, I have no ill intentions. Why not hear out?" Johan said.
Dialga and Palkia exchanged glances, then looked back at Johan.
Dialga: [Human, don't think that just because you possess the chains ford by the Emotion God, you can use us as you please!]
Palkia: [That's right!]
When Arceus created the world, it also created the gods of ti and space, Dialga and Palkia.
It also created the "Distortion World" representing the reverse side of the entire world, along with Giratina who controls antimatter.
To restrain them, and also to bestow emotions upon the Pokémon world, it created the three Lake Guardians: Uxie, sprit, and Azelf.
The power of the Lake Guardians, representing emotion, when combined, could restrain any one of the three deities.
But only one at a ti.
Moreover, the red chains in Johan's hands weren't truly complete. If they really fought with all their might, they couldn't be completely restrained.
Even with the red chains, they could still take him down!
"You've got it wrong," Johan spread his hands. "It's not that I need your help, but that you need mine?"
Dialga: [We would need help from a re human? Laughable!]
Palkia: [Laughable!]
Johan's expression remained unchanged as he pointed to the black vortex that continued to draw in lake water, asking:
"Then tell , how did this thing appear?"
With these words, Dialga and Palkia fell silent.
No one knew better than they did why these black vortices ford.
They were space-ti vortices created by the collision of Dialga's ti domain and Palkia's space domain. Even if they accidentally got caught in one, it would be troubleso.
And the cause of the ti and space collision... was Arceus's awakening and fury!
"Now, can we sit down and talk?" Johan asked.
Dialga and Palkia exchanged glances again.
Finally, the energy fluctuations around the two beings gradually subsided, and they slowly flew toward Johan's position.
Darkrai, Gengar, and Cynthia's group all showed serious expressions.
If Dialga and Palkia suddenly went berserk, it wouldn't be easy to stop them...
Dialga: [We can give you three minutes to explain your plan.]
Palkia: [Three minutes.]
Dialga suddenly glared at Palkia.
[Can you stop copying ?]
Palkia turned its head away, pretending not to hear.
"Wait," Darkrai suddenly spoke up: "Johan, you an our opponents this ti aren't these two?"
We're not here to beat up these two?
"Of course not," Johan gestured to Gengar and Cynthia's group not to be tense.
"Then who?" Darkrai pressed.
Johan shrugged, "The one you often ntion—Arceus."
Darkrai: "??!!"
Damn! You've really leveled up, to be able to provoke such a being now?
Darkrai was about to start cursing when a box of fragrant Poké Blocks was placed in front of it.
Seeing the Poké Blocks, Darkrai's eye twitched, and it couldn't help but swallow, though it still said:
"This isn't about Poké Blocks or not. You actually—"
Another box.
"Even if you give —"
Three more boxes!
Five boxes total now.
Darkrai took a deep breath, "Don't you understand the severity of this? The opponent is..."
Three more boxes, making eight!
Darkrai's eyes flickered, clouds rushing through its azure eyes. Before it could speak again, Johan said directly:
"Five tis more."
Darkrai: "!!"
After a brief mont of shock, Darkrai said gravely: "Let's do this! It's just a llama after all!"
Dialga and Palkia looked at this scene in astonishnt.
This guy... has gone mad?
But why did it feel like this guy's aura and energy fluctuations seed even stronger than before?
Poké Blocks in place, crush the llama?
Johan smiled and patted Darkrai's shoulder, then took out more Poké Blocks, macarons, and Poffins, placing them on the ground. He sat down cross-legged and said:
"Don't be shy, eat while we talk. These don't count toward your 'paynt'."
With that said, Darkrai beca enthusiastic.
Dialga and Palkia were still dazed, unconsciously accepting the macarons that Victini handed them and putting them in their mouths.
Hmm?!
The two great beings' eyes widened slightly.
Then they simultaneously looked at Darkrai who was feasting heartily.
At this mont, they seed to sowhat understand Darkrai's behavior and actions.
Questioning Darkrai, understanding Darkrai, becoming Darkrai.
No wonder this guy fought so desperately each ti—it was because of food like this... unbelievable!
Dialga and Palkia gave Darkrai a "fierce" glare before joining the feast.
As for their "angry glares," Darkrai simply chose to ignore them.
Ridiculous. If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's sothing wrong with your thinking. Who has ti to bother with you two?
In an instant, Dialga and Palkia forgot about their so-called "three minutes."
Three minutes? More like three hours!
Nearby, Flint, Lucian, and Aaron watched this scene with wide eyes and open mouths.
"Is-is this really Teacher Johan's secret to maintaining friendly relationships with legendary Pokémon?" Flint murmured.
Lucian gave him a sideways glance, "First, you need to have the ability and strength to make them willing to listen to you."
After a pause, he continued:
"Second, you need to master the thods for making top-tier Poké Blocks, macarons, Poffins, and other foods."
"Finally, you need to know what flavors they like."
Is that simple?
Just the first condition would make people give up.
Earlier, Dialga and Palkia were ready to leave at the first sign of disagreent. Only Teacher Johan could stop them.
Aaron suddenly raised his head, pointing up a finger to add: "And a sincere heart that considers the Pokémon's welfare!"
That's the key!
Through aura, Dialga and Palkia could feel Johan's "goodwill."
"By the way, before we discuss the plan, could you first deal with the space-ti vortex here?" Johan said.
Hearing this, Dialga and Palkia looked toward the black vortex in the sky that continued to draw in lake water.
"RAWR!!"
Dialga roared, unleashing a unique temporal force.
Then Palkia, holding a macaron in one hand, swung its other hand to execute Spacial Rend, slicing and sealing the space around the black vortex.
With the combined efforts of the two deities, the black vortex instantly dissipated.
"Palkia, let ask you sothing," Johan said.
Palkia looked at him.
"If I give you coordinates, can you directly fold space to teleport soone from that location to here?"
Like how Hoopa could summon others with just a ring.
[Ksssh—depends on their strength, ksssh—]
"Soone about your level?"
[Ksssh—not possible.]
Palkia shook its head, [It goes against the rules of space, ksssh—of course, if they willingly enter, then it's possible, ksssh—]
Johan gave it a sowhat "disdainful" look.
So God of Space you are.
Not even worth a strand of Hoopa's hair.
Doesn't even qualify to be called "Little Hoopa."
Palkia felt sowhat bewildered by his look.
Hoopa could not only bring others over directly but could also control them, and multiple beings at once.
"Dialga, you know why Arceus is angry, right?" Johan turned to Dialga.
Hearing this, Dialga nodded.
Others might not know the various reasons, but as the God of Ti, floating in the river of ti, Dialga had looked into so information about this.
"Can you transport us to that ti point?" Johan showed a serious expression, looking at Dialga.
Hearing these words, Dialga was visibly stunned, even stopping its chewing of the Poffin.
It looked at Johan with so disbelief in its eyes.
[You want to go back to the past and change it?]
"Is that not possible?"
Dialga fell into a brief silence.
After a good while, it finally spoke again:
[Do you know about ti paradoxes? Do you understand the 'dangers' of changing the past? More importantly, even if you do change the past, it may not achieve the effect you want.]
Johan naturally knew about ti paradoxes.
As for the "dangers"...
What concerned Johan more was what Dialga said about changing the past not necessarily achieving the desired effect.
Was it referring to the convergence of the world?
But in the movie, Ash had resolved Arceus's hatred through this thod.
Yet movies are just movies, and the real world was very different.
"So, there's still a chance to try, right?" Johan asked again.
Dialga was silent again for a mont.
It nodded slightly:
[I can only say, there's a chance.]
"A chance is enough."
So his Plan A could be attempted.
He and Cynthia would go back to the past with Dialga's power, while Lucian, Flint, and Aaron would implent Plan B, searching for the possibly lost "Jewel of Life" in the Michina ruins.
As for the Team Rocket trio who had also arrived in Michina, he would let them do their thing—they might produce surprising results.
After arranging with Dialga and Palkia, Johan found Cynthia.
"The Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb? I understand."
After hearing Johan's intention, Cynthia looked at the now "docile" Dialga and Palkia, nodding slightly.
Johan wasn't sure what would happen to Dialga and Palkia after he and Cynthia went back to the past. If the two got into a fight again, it would be troubleso.
But if they could use the power of the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb, even if Johan wasn't present, they might be able to sowhat restrain Dialga and Palkia—at least prevent the two from fighting each other.
Cynthia contacted the Sinnoh League and her grandmother, Professor Carolina.
anwhile.
Sinnoh region, Team Galactic Headquarters.
"Leader Cyrus, it's happening again—the collision of ti and space! The location is Michina," Team Galactic researcher Charon reported imdiately.
Since the previous incident in Twinleaf Town, Team Galactic's attention to ti and space collisions had skyrocketed.
Now, after a long silence, Team Galactic had detected space-ti collision waves again.
Cyrus, sitting in his office chair with hands supporting his chin, stood up expressionlessly, adjusting his clothes slightly.
Although he didn't speak, the Team Galactic mbers and executives before him all stood straight.
Ti to act!
