Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 288 Mammon is ecstatic! The prayer of the Lake Gods!
"So you really knew of His existence."

Yukshi's wise eyes were calm and deep as he gazed at Mammon.

This human... is very different.

He received the blessings of nature, and most importantly, Yukshi sensed a great deal of energy in Mammon.

Giratina?

Zhu Lan and Jia Deliya pondered the name, but they had never heard of it before.

Mammon is indeed very special.

Zhu Lan's clear, beautiful eyes swept over Mammon. How could it not be special? Yukshi's attitude towards Mammon was so unique.

He even said a lot of seemingly plausible but ultimately meaningless things, which he was speaking to Mammon.

"Yes, so what? Giratina's only targets are Arceus and the two gods of time and space, it's none of my business."

Mammon replied casually, finding Yukshi somewhat amusing.

Undoubtedly, Yuxie is referring to the possibility of Giratina appearing in the world, but what does that have to do with Mammon?

Giratina's desire to rebel against Arceus is a plot point.

Giratina's existence is indeed exceptionally mysterious in the Pokémon world, as it was initially sent to the Destroyed World by Arceus.

The existence of Giratina is only recorded in stone tablet inscriptions.

Lightning Stone Tablet: A berserk clone that can unleash wrathful lightning.

Steel and stone slabs: those that fill the back of the world are enough to change the form of living beings.

Fist Slab: When the other side of the world falls into chaos, spacetime rifts are created.

The Yokai Stone Tablet: Its violent clone was bestowed upon the other side of the world.

The alter egos of Arceus are also known as Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina.

Because Arceus created the three gods for the sake of the world's 'material' matter.

But in reality, the creation of the 'positive' world only required the two gods of time and space and the gods of the lake. The 'mind' connected with the 'matter,' and the world was thus formed.

As for Giratina, which is 'antimatter', Arceus bestowed it upon the other side of the world.

It was a destroyed world without the distinction between heaven and earth; in this destroyed world, there was no world that had passed away, nor any stable space.

Giratina remained in the world behind this one, quietly watching the original world.

And it is perhaps precisely because of this 'unfair' treatment that Giratina wanted to rebel.

This is already made clear in Legends: Arceus. As a 'rebellious Pokémon,' Giratina's target for 'rebellion' is Arceus.

So after Little Zhao was sent to the Green Age by Arceus, Giratina also took action.

It chose Wangluo, gave him a stone tablet, and joined forces with him to use Giratina's power to drive Dialga and Palkia into a frenzy. They used the power of their struggle to open a spacetime rift in an attempt to enter the space where Arceus resides.

Wanglu wanted to see Arceus, and Giratina wanted to challenge Arceus; these two were quite an unexpected pairing.

Well, after turning on them and exposing themselves, they not only failed to see Arceus, but Wangluo and Giratina didn't even get past Xiaozhao.

There's no way around it, Xiao Zhao is just too amazing!
However, this plot reveals that Giratina's desire to rebel against Arceus was actually very strong.

For this reason, Arceus chose Xiao Zhao, and it immediately sensed an opportunity, choosing Wang Luo as its human traveler.

Wang Luo is indeed outstanding, arguably the strongest in the Xi Cui region, second only to Xiao Zhao.

Speaking of which...

Mammon fell into deep thought. Was he not better than that Bwangro? Why didn't Giratina choose him?
Is it because Arceus in this world did not choose humanity that Giratina did not have any interest in it?

Mammon would be very happy if Giratina chose him, after all, Giratina is really strong.

It is definitely one of the top legendary Pokémon.

Well, after all, this guy can easily defeat his 'brothers' Dialga and Palkia, and even dares to challenge Arceus.

Mammon admired Giratina for that courage alone, but that was all he could say.

In the face of Arceus, Giratina could only be whipped around like a spinning top, completely powerless to resist.

Thinking of this, Mammon looked at Zhu Lan with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Cynthia, who was pondering what Giratina was, keenly noticed Mammon's gaze and tilted her head in confusion.

"Zhu Lan, was there an ancestor of yours named Wang Luo?"

"...I haven't noticed. I'll look through the family tree when I have time. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Zhu Lan was very puzzled.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered." Mammon shook his head.

That's right. In fact, the villain Wangluo in Legends: Arceus is very likely the ancestor of Cynthia.

The reason is simple: Wangluo and Cyndaquil look very similar, and Wangluo's team is also highly overlapping with Cyndaquil's. Except for one different Arcanine, the other five are all Cyndaquil's main Pokémon.

Coupled with their strikingly similar appearances, this is clearly hinting at something.

Consider that Zhu Lan's love for knowledge, mythology, and exploring ancient ruins is exactly the same as her family's. Isn't that exactly the same as Wang Luo's?

Zhulan: “…”

"Humans, if Giratina causes the two deities to go berserk, it will also endanger you."

After the two finished talking, Yukshi spoke through his icy telepathy, "Sorry, you've got the wrong person."

Mammon sneered, "Trying to pin a label on me, huh?"

Asking him for help is fine, but you can't just offer empty promises without any benefit in return. Who taught you to ask for favors like this?

Mammon thought the Lake Gods were really pathetic. Not only were they weak, but after living for so long, didn't they understand any human relationships?
You call yourselves Pokémon representing the 'spirit'? Even Regigigas is better than you...

"so……"

Yukshi clasped his hands together in a gesture of prayer toward Mammon, while Amrid and Arknom on either side of him made the same gesture.

"Human beings with rich emotions, may you live a carefree life, may the Great One protect you, may you never be troubled by emotions, and may you reap eternal happiness."

As the prayers were chanted, a faint red light emanated from Emredo's body, and a magnetic telepathic connection rang out, causing Mammon to swallow back the words he was about to utter.

"O human beings with unwavering will, may your faith remain steadfast, may the Great One protect you, may you never waver, and may courage always be with you."

Arknom's telepathic abilities differ from its 'brother's'; its voice is resolute, clear, and full of fearlessness.

"Human beings, whose wisdom is as vast as the sea, may your wisdom shine brightly, may the Great One protect you, may you never be anxious or impatient, and may the light of your wisdom illuminate your path forward."

It ends with Kexi's detached telepathic connection.

After reciting the prayer, the light emanating from the Lake Gods slowly dimmed and dissipated, and their three pairs of eyes fixed on Mammon.

Mammon fell into deep thought.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Giratina is violent and aggressive! A Pokémon like that shouldn't exist in this world!"

Mammon's tone was very serious.

"You guys have a really good eye for people!"

“I, Mammon, as the most emotional, noble, and wise man in this world, certainly cannot bear to see this!”

Mammon's voice was very loud.

He retracted his previous statement that the Gods of the Lake were incompetent and stingy. How were the Gods of the Lake incompetent?

The gods of the lake gave humankind a 'heart'; they are so generous, selfless, and beautiful. The Galactic Team deserves to die!
They even want to capture and imprison these adorable Lake Gods, and drain their power? Are Team Galactic even human? Pshaw!
Even his Rockets wouldn't do something like this!

Yes, the gods of the lake really do pray for him. Three of the six gods at the beginning of creation personally prayed for him. Even Mammon couldn't handle this kind of treatment.

This is so awesome!!
Zhulan: “…”

Zhu Lan is having a hard time maintaining her composure. Does Mammon actually like this kind of vibe?
Cattleya: (°—°)
"Then I'll have to trouble you, human."

Upon hearing this, Yukshi's usually cold voice seemed to relax considerably.

“You really are a wonderful human being, Mammon~” Arknom telepathically pleased.

"Your love life will definitely go very smoothly, just as you wish."

Amrid blinked and smirked at Mammon.

As a legendary Pokémon representing 'emotion', Mesprit believes it has a lot to say on this topic.

"Thank you, but I have a small request. Could you please help me, Yukishi?"

Mammon was beaming with joy, truly satisfied with the lavish praise from the Lake Gods.

It feels so good, so incredibly good.

Although these three Pokémon are a bit weak, their caliber is undeniable, and they are incredibly skilled.

"If there's anything we can do to help."

Yukeshi nodded, its two tails swaying gently. Although its tone remained calm, it was clear that it was in a good mood.

"After this is all over, can you come again?"

"?"

Yukshi, representing 'wisdom', tilted his head, a question mark rising above his head.

What do you mean?
"Could you repeat that prayer you just gave me?"

Mammon's smile was very innocent.

"It's possible, but why?"

Yukshi was very puzzled; the intelligent creature couldn't quite guess what Mammon was thinking.

"That's wonderful! The scene just now was truly rare. I think if I filmed it, my children will be proud of me when they see it in the future."

Mammon's tone was so sincere; he couldn't help it, he really loved this 'gift' from the Lake Gods.

It's the kind of thing that's absolutely worth watching again and again!
The gods of the lake: "..."

Tianguan Mountain Spear Pillar.

This is the site of an ancient temple ruin, but the temple has long been destroyed and is now in ruins, with the stone pillars standing like the pillars of a gun.

Meanwhile, Hades had already arrived at this location with several members of Team Galactic.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Hahahaha~"

Looking around at everything, Hades finally couldn't help but raise his arms and burst into wild laughter.

It's coming! His era is about to begin!
If Dialga and Palkia can be summoned here, he will become the...god of this world!!
