Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

"Actually, we also have such power, but... our cultivation is not yet up to par."

Upon hearing this, Mei Yali gave an awkward smile.

She wasn't much better off than Hoopa when she was a child.

They are very mischievous and don't care much about cultivating their strength.

Therefore, she could say that she had almost no control over this power.

Her brother, on the other hand, had a good grasp of this magical power.

But he was still far inferior to his great-grandfather.

……

[Cynthia: It really is the power of Arceus! I never imagined that the people in the Valley of Creation all possessed such amazing power. It's truly incredible.]

[Genji: Hehe, it seems there are advantages to living a long life. I've learned something new today; Arceus even has a human representative!]

[WuSong: How did Arceus's representative end up in the Kalos region? Shouldn't he be in Sinnoh?]

[DaYe: Is it possible that every region has its own representative for Arceus? After all, while Sinnoh is the origin of Arceus, Arceus belongs to the entire world!]

[Wu Song: That's true... I have another question. How did Ash recognize Arceus's rings? Even those of us familiar with mythology took some effort to recognize them!]

[Wu Song: But Ash's Pikachu recognized it instantly! It even imitated Arceus, and Ash realized what it meant the moment he saw it... Had they met Arceus before?]

[Cynthia: At this point... he's already been to Sinnoh! With Ash's talent for making friends with legendary Pokémon, he might actually run into Arceus.]

[Yulongdu: Indeed, but as for Arceus... we'll only meet him once at most, just like Ho-Oh. We'll only see him, nothing more. There's absolutely no chance of him interacting with or even helping Arceus!]

[Karuno: ...There's something I'm not sure if I should say?]

[Cattleya: Hehe, Arceus, somewhere far away, has suddenly been blessed with a strange power. If Arceus can see the bullet screen and encounters a crisis in the future, Lance, you'd better watch out~]

[Dragon Crossing: ...]

Surely not? That's Arceus, after all!

Even if, by any chance... he has some kind of jinx, he still couldn't possibly heal Arceus!

Not only Wataru, but Karuno didn't take it seriously either.

Did Awaken Arceus to death by necrosis? How could I have such a dream?

Everyone, please continue watching the video...

……

In the video—

Balza continued recounting Hoopa's past.

After their great-grandfather sealed Hoopa away, he took Hoopa back to the Valley of Creation.

As Balza narrated, footage of Hoopa from the past was shown on screen.

They were afraid that Balzac's explanation wasn't vivid enough for them to understand.

Balzac's grandfather was named Gulis.

After bringing Hoopa back to the Valley of Creation, he commanded Hoopa to live there.

Hupa, of course, refused and demanded that Gulis return the power to Him!

"...Your power is too great. With your current mental state, not only will you not be able to control it properly, but you will also be exploited by some people with ulterior motives."

"Therefore, I will not return the power to you until you understand the meaning of punishment."

"You are very strong, stronger than many legendary Pokémon, but you must understand one thing: the world... does not belong to you!"

"This is everyone's world! You need to understand the meaning of life and the meaning of punishment in order to better survive in this world..."

Hoopa only partially understood what Gulis was saying.

In short... we can't give the power back to Him right now!

Not only could He not reclaim His power, He could no longer even pass through the circle!

Therefore, He had no way to leave the Valley of Creation.

So Hoopa began to live with Gulis in the Valley of Creation in order to understand the meaning of punishment.

Little Hoopa's appearance is also referred to by Gulis as Hoopa's Punishment Form, which is Punishment Hoopa!

……

"...It wasn't until we were born that Hoopa had a like-minded companion."

Hupa smiled and took their hands in agreement.

Since they were born,

Hoopa and the others were like brothers, spending every day happily together.

Sometimes everyone gets together and plays pranks.

Sometimes, everyone helps the elderly in the Valley of Creation.

Gulis had long since accepted Hoopa as part of his family!

Sadly, not long after the two grew up, Guliss passed away.

Years later, they were thinking,

Is it possible to take back Hoopa's power and return it to him?

After all, having lived with Hoopa for so many years, they understood Hoopa's temperament better than anyone!

Hoopa now... should be able to shoulder that responsibility!

However, they were ultimately too naive.

Hoopa still can't control that power!

"...Theoretically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. I need to take the pot back to the Valley of Creation to investigate."

"Hupa isn't going!"

"But if you don't go, Hoopa, you won't be able to return to your original form!"

"Then Hoopa shouldn't go back to her original form! She's fine as she is now!!"

……

[Ferry: It seems Hoopa has indeed changed a lot! He'd rather stay as he is than reclaim that power he can't control at all.]

[Cynthia: Hoopa has matured a bit, but he's still a bit childlike. I think he's more afraid of being consumed by that power than of regaining it!]

[Cattleya: In the video, Balza hasn't realized that the power residing in the jar has developed its own will; he simply believes that Hoopa can't control the power.]

[Balza: Those involved are often blinded... but I believe I'll find out soon!]

……

In the video—

Just as Hoopa and Balza were arguing, a mechanical arm quickly reached out!

They just grabbed the Judgment Jar!

"who is it!"

"Hehe, since you've asked so sincerely!"

"We'll mercifully tell you!"

"..."

The true protagonist has arrived!

The Rockets trio returned and stole the Smite Bottle!

Just as Meow Meow was about to grab the Judgment Jar, Balza shouted.
