Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

After all, what Mewtwo lacks now is not direct combat power, but divine authority. Mewtwo's authority is still unclear, and it is unknown how to condense and use it.

This space is a place where rules are lacking, but it is also the best place to forge divine authority. Tempering one's divine authority here is what Mewtwo needs most right now.

So, following Mewtwo's advice, Mewtwo came here with the determination to become stronger. She vowed that when she returned from this path, she would make Kazama Shiromo experience firsthand what despair truly meant, leaving no trace of the humiliation she had suffered.

PS: The necessary plot points have been laid out almost completely; some experienced readers should already be able to vaguely guess the plot and its direction.

Update delayed by 12 hours

Tomorrow morning is full of classes, and I'm really stuck on this writer's block. I'll update again tomorrow at noon. Going to sleep now; I'm really taking the late nights off. (Purple sweet potato pudding)

Chapter 19 If Lugia and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?

This was a very tightly sealed package, with no tracking information left on it; it was just a package wrapped tightly in black plastic.

Admittedly, a package delivered to the Sky Tower should have a bit of class and shouldn't be like a regular package, but this is way too classy. It doesn't even look like a package; it looks like a black box carrying military secrets.

Of course, Kazama Shiramo was unaware that the League had issued a strict order: in order to maintain the facade of the head of the three pillars of Hoenn, all packages sent to the Sky Tower were packaged in this way.

Of course, Kazama Shiramo had no idea that inside this seemingly high-class box were all sorts of things that needed to be censored when they appeared on screen!

So the former Sinnoh champion set off with these indescribable things in his hands...

The Alliance headquarters was still quite far from the Sky Tower, and Kazama Shiramo didn't plan to use the Desert Dragonfly at full speed. After all, it was just delivering a package, and it wasn't anything urgent. It probably wouldn't matter if it was delayed, and there was no need to make the Desert Dragonfly fly at full speed, which was too tiring.

Drifting leisurely in the sky, the boundless sea and azure sky made Kazama Shiramo feel refreshed and relaxed, but seeing these sights reminded him of Lugia.

'Is Lugia the only person in your heart?'

Despite the languid tone, Kazama Shiramo detected a hint of anger in the voice, like a witch who had been woken up.

Ignoring the trainer's will, Kazama Shirai's Ultra Ball was easily breached by Kyogre, and with a flash of light, Kyogre appeared in front of Kazama Shirai.

With her captivating voice and appearance, languid demeanor, and an indescribable allure beneath her red-rimmed eyes, her beautiful curves were irresistible. This witch-like chubby fish appeared before Kazama Shiramo without warning, glaring at her with a hint of anger.

Actually, there's a reason why Kyogre appeared this time. Perhaps it's because of his personality. Kyogre isn't really interested in jealousy or rivalry. Although he has feelings for Kazama Shirai, he doesn't have the same possessiveness as Lugia.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Kyogre himself didn't have any excessive demands on Shirasumi Kazama; all he wanted was simple companionship.

But today, she heard Kazama Shiramo say with her own mouth that she liked him, liked him very much. Although Daigo didn't quite grasp the essence of it, Kyogre did! He fully understood it!

Kyogre fully understood that this human trainer harbored feelings of affection for him, a very subtle emotion.

Things that weren't important to him before, Kyogre has started to care about now that Kazama Shiramo has given that answer. He really does care. His mood seems to be changing little by little.

Moreover, Kyogre is in a very bad mood right now. After all, no matter what, the person who wanted to stay with Kazama Shiramo all the way to Hoenn is her, the Fathead Fish. I mean, Kyogre, what do you mean by looking at the sea and thinking of Lugia?

You've seen the ocean, and I've loved you?

I'm so annoyed, so annoyed, so incredibly annoyed!

Although he didn't show it on his face, Kyogre was extremely displeased. While it wasn't apparent from his tone, if Kazama Shirasumi's survival instinct were strong enough, he would have been able to glean something from Kyogre's words...

Unfortunately, Kazama Shirabu didn't have such a strong will to survive, nor did he realize that something was wrong and he needed to be careful, or even...

"No, it's just that seeing the sea makes me miss the days when Lugia was around." Kazama Shiramo not only didn't realize that something was wrong, but even started to explain to Kyogre in a serious manner.

There's a saying that there are three types of people women will always hate.

They are respectively called, the current ex, the ex's current partner, and the ex's ex!

No girl wants to hear about your sweet past with your ex. The general public must be clear about this and not be fooled by your partner's fake smile.

When you're earnestly and passionately recounting your past love to your current partner, you might think you're creating an image of a devoted and loving man. However, what she's really thinking is, "Oh, so he had such a profound and unforgettable love affair, he was head over heels in love with another woman. Damn it, should I break up with him and tell him to go back to that woman?"

Kazama Shirai was completely unaware of the impending crisis, calmly recounting his feelings for Lugia to Kyogre...

If you're standing at that angle, I'll just go to hell!

Looking at Kazama Shiramo, who was smiling and telling her about Lugia, she realized that he had the same handsome face as the guy who had shyly confessed his love to her before—the same eyebrows, the same eyes, the same corners of his mouth, and even his expression was so similar to before…

Why is this happening? Kyogre couldn't help but ask himself. Why was he so concerned about him? He had never cared about these things before, so why was he so bothered by them now?

Why does he get upset when he talks about Lugia? Why does he still have such a big influence on him even though that seductive and shameless Lugia is already gone? Does he want to live on in her heart like a martyr forever?

You're a thing of the past, Lugia! Don't you even understand that?!

Kyogre's expression remained unchanged as he casually posed a question that had puzzled people for centuries: "Hey, Bai Mo, if Lugia and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"

Kazama Shirasumi: ? ? ? ? ? ?

"You two are the overlord of the ocean and the god of the sea, so why do you need someone to save you when you're in the water?" Kazama Shiromo looked bewildered. The question was so strange that he suddenly realized something was wrong. But no matter how he looked at it, the question was too absurd, and Kazama Shiromo couldn't figure out what Kyogre was asking.

"Answer my question directly!" Kyogre glared at Kazama Shiromo with annoyance. "Fine, let me rephrase it... If Lugia and I were both in danger, who would you save first?"

Kazama Shiramo: "...I already..."

Kyoka rudely interrupted Kazama Shiramo's answer, staring intently at him: "You can only save one, it's a choice between two, who do you want to save first?"

P.S. This is the first update. I'll continue writing the second one tonight when I get back!

Let's do Chapter 20!

If this were an exam, Kazama Shiramo would definitely beat up the person who set the questions!

I don't know which bastard invented this weird question, "If I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?" But it's clear that this person's wickedness is unprecedented!

Is this a question meant to be answered?

Want a standard answer key, bro?

I'll hand over my monthly salary card, the property deed will be in your name, my mom can swim, I survived a difficult childbirth, and I'll take care of you for the rest of my life!

This is absolutely thrilling!

Kazama Shiramo broke out in a cold sweat as he tried his best to analyze the special meaning behind Kyogre's actions. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure out what kind of danger would put both Kyogre and Lugia in mortal danger at the same time, nor could he think about what kind of situation they would be in after the danger occurred.

Kazama Shiramo felt his hand holding the Poké Ball tremble slightly as he began a frantic analysis. If Lugia and Kyogre were both in danger, Lugia, with its psychic shield and extremely high resistances, should be able to hold out for a considerable time. Conversely, the fragile Kyogre would likely be more vulnerable. After much deliberation, Kazama Shiramo looked at Kyogre and slowly spoke…

"I'll save you first."

……

Kyogre was stunned. In fact, she regretted asking the question as soon as she did, because Kyogre had no idea what to expect...

Or perhaps she was terrified of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear, or maybe, after calming down a bit, she wondered why she had even asked such a pointless question in the first place. Georka was already deeply regretting it; what if the other person really said something...?

Well, thankfully—I won! Lugia, she really should hear who the real winner is, hahaha!

"Why did you save me first?" Kyogre turned his head away arrogantly, hiding the joy in his eyes well, but a blush still crept onto his cheeks.

"Because you're quite fragile." Kazama Shiromo's serious reply left people wondering where to even begin to criticize him.

"Um, yes, because I'm rather... fragile?" Kyogre seemed confused, and the smile on his face gradually faded...

What does "quite brittle" mean?

Does having a good figure mean that? But Lugia, that guy who's always stuffed, is definitely less attractive than me, no matter how you look at it.

"Oh, I mean you look tanky, but you don't have any resistances, you're just bloated and can't take a hit."

……

"Dragonfly, can I ask you for a favor?" Kyogre suddenly smiled very kindly, although at this moment Kyogre's eyes were no longer on Kazama Shiro, but on the Dragonfly under Kazama Shiro.

Flygon looked at Kyogre's friendly smile, then glanced at Kazama Shiramo, who seemed utterly clueless. She hesitated, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She actually felt sorry for Kyogre, having encountered such a foolish trainer…

"Don't worry, I guarantee he won't be in any danger!" Miss Gyoka's smile remained kind, but her eyes were filled with determination.

Flygon hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. Since there was no danger, let Kyogre vent his anger a little. Flygon had seen Kyogre's behavior these days and couldn't bear not letting him get his revenge.

"Thank you so much, Flygon. Could you please stay still like this? Just don't move." Kyogre clasped his hands together, making a pleading gesture.

Although the desert dragonfly was still somewhat reluctant, it nodded in response to Kyogre's request.

"Why are you telling the Desert Dragonfly not to move?" Kazama Shiramo hadn't realized the danger approaching. These days, Kyogre had been behaving too obediently, so obediently that she had completely forgotten her true nature. To put it more simply and directly, Kazama Shiramo, who had no defenses against Kyogre at all... had gotten carried away!

Then he really did float up, like a cloud, and was lifted up by Kyogre and suspended in the air.

Kyogre's slender, fair arms perfectly exemplified what a melee mage should be. He lifted Kazama Shiromo like a chick in his hand, and his rosy, sexy lips gently approached Shiromo's ear, whispering, "If you dare use your superpowers in the next thirty seconds, you're dead, you know?"

Kazama Shiramo saw that Kyogre's kind eyes seemed genuine, so he obediently put away his plan to use his superpowers.

"Very good, very obedient. Now, head towards the sea!" Kyogre suddenly grinned menacingly and threw Kazama Shiramo into the sea below like trash.

Kazama Shiro was falling from a great height, as if he were about to fall into a bottomless abyss. The feeling of falling rapidly from a great height was not pleasant. The weightlessness made him want to struggle. At this moment, Kazama Shiro really wanted to use his superpowers. Whether it was using teleportation to escape or levitating in the air, it would be better than this feeling of falling.

but……

Not daring to move, not daring to move, Kazama Shiromo still remembered the kind words of the Overlord of the Vast Ocean, which seemed to be genuine and not a joke. He felt that if he really used his superpower, he would definitely lose his life. This feeling made Kazama Shiromo not to make any rash moves, letting himself fall freely from the sky.

It must hurt a lot, right?

Probably not. People from the Pokémon world, thanks to their bloodline advantage, are much stronger than Earthlings. Theoretically, falling into the sea like that shouldn't kill them, but it will definitely hurt a lot.

However, the instant Kazama Shiramo fell into the sea, a layer of deep blue energy instantly enveloped him. This terrifying impact was completely neutralized the moment he entered the sea, and not even a splash was made.

Like a magazine cover, a beautiful young man plunges into the embrace of the boundless sea, a scene as beautiful as a world-famous painting.

As the boy sank into the sea, a beautiful shadow, as nimb as a mermaid, darted over and gently grasped Kazama Shiro's hand.

It was a face that Kazama Shiramo knew all too well, but now, under the reflection of the sea and the sunlight, it looked so unfamiliar, so captivating, with a dreamlike, unreal quality.

A strange allure flickered in Kyogre's eyes as he gently kissed Kazama Shiro's lips. A telepathic connection formed instantly, and Kazama Shiro immediately understood Kyogre's message—"Let's do it."

P.S. Second update, finally finished!

Chapter 21 Rayquaza's Quirks

Let's do it.

Let's do it!

Let's do it...

This conveyed wish struck his heart and impacted Kazama Shirasumi's mind.

This is absolutely incredible!

Under a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze, in the vast ocean, a woman as beautiful as a mermaid kisses your lips, sharing her breath with you, and then whispers in your heart—come on…
