Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

To be honest, Xia Yan, dressed in all black and riding a black horse, actually looked a bit more imposing than the Lady Crown King, who was riding a white horse.

"How about it?"

Looking at the dejected Queen of the Lace Crown, Xia Yan asked.

King Lace Crown shook his head slightly.

[The outlook is not optimistic. Just like before, I've lost the power of faith. Even if I've tamed the Snowstorm Horse now, it's only temporary. The moment my power is exhausted again, I'll be back to where I was before, or even worse.]

It stated the truth.

The power of faith is the source of the Crested King's energy. Even though it has temporarily received feedback and support from the Snowstorm Horse, it cannot sustain this for long.

"so......."

I still need your help.

King Rai-King looked at Xia Yan intently and spoke in a deep voice.

I know you built temples for Arceus and Giratina, and promoted and popularized them. Therefore, I hope you can help me once again, just as you helped them.

After a brief pause, it continued:

[I don't need much, not even a large temple; I just lack a portion of the initial power.]

Xia Yan did not immediately answer the King of Lace Crown's sincere request.

King Rai-King was not in a hurry; he simply waited for him silently.

After a while.

Just when the Queen of the Lace Crown thought Xia Yan was going to refuse, she heard Xia Yan tentatively ask, "Really... it doesn't need to be too big?"

Queen of the Crowns: [...]

[Ahem. Well, actually... well, if it could be bigger, of course it would be better to be bigger.]

"I am speaking with a wandering gaze," said the Crowned Queen.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan immediately smiled knowingly.

You little rascal.

No matter how dignified or aloof you may appear, as long as you have something to ask for, surely we can control you?

"Then I have some questions I'd like to know..."

The Crowned King glanced at the half-withered giant tree, paused briefly, and then spoke again.

Ask away.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes.

What is above champion level?

The Crowned Queen pursed her lips.

It knew Xia Yan would ask this, so it had already prepared its answer and said it without any hesitation:

Above the champion lies legend.

“Legendary…” Xia Yan murmured, repeating the word.

It took him a while to come to his senses and ask the question again.

How do you know? Or have you seen it before?

Unexpectedly, the Crowned King actually nodded and frankly said:

"I have seen it. Otherwise, why do you think I suddenly lost my faith back then?"

Xia Yan's eyes widened slightly.

Even if there is a legendary Pokémon, it shouldn't be able to defeat a level 1 Rare Crown, right?

Of course it's not what you think!

Seemingly understanding Xia Yan's meaning, the Queen of the Raiguans glared at him irritably.

Chapter 183 Xia Yan: I feel like an idiot

This brings us to the crux of the matter.

then.

How did the Calycerin King suddenly become the King of Galar, transforming from the legendary "King of Abundance" into that wooden crown that appears utterly powerless?

Xia Yan didn't believe that a first-level god could just watch the power of faith, which was so important to it, slip away without doing anything.

"So, what exactly was your situation back then?" Xia Yan asked with a serious expression.

When this issue was brought up, the Queen of the Rachel's expression became somewhat unnatural.

This is not a good memory for it.

"Could it be that you can't beat that legendary Pokémon?" Xia Yan continued to press.

If we say...

It would be too exaggerated for a legendary Pokémon to be able to directly confront or even suppress a first-level god.

The Crowned Queen glanced at Xia Yan.

After a long silence, she nodded silently under his gaze.

Xia Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Is the legendary level really that outrageous?

However, the Crown King quickly provided an explanation.

At that time, I was very weak.

"Ok?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

Then, the Crowned King, riding a white horse, tilted his head slightly and gazed at the sky.

But Xia Yan felt that its vision seemed to encompass the entire Galar region.

At that time, I foresaw that thousands of years later, the Galar region would suffer a great catastrophe. And in that catastrophe, countless lives in the Galar region would be annihilated.

Major disaster?

Xia Yan felt a slight tremor in his heart.

he knows.

It was that "dark night" three thousand years ago!

This refers to the time when Eternatus first appeared in the Galar region, spreading and releasing its energy throughout Galar, which also brought about Dynamax and Gigantamax forms.

The Crowned Queen took a slight breath.

Therefore, I made a very bold decision: to bury a portion of my power deep within Galar, so that when that catastrophe strikes, I can provide the Galar region with the greatest protection.

Xia Yan was silent.

Therefore, even if the "Dark Night" appeared three thousand years ago, the Galar particles it released would have caused a massive number of Pokémon to Dynamax, resulting in horrific destruction in the Galar region.

Even after the Lei Crown King had made prior arrangements, was that still the case?

If there is no Raeren, does it mean that the appearance of "Dark Night" will cause destruction to the entire Galar region?

Given Mukyuu's abilities, it's not impossible.

"Buried deep?" Xia Yan asked again, expressing his doubt.

Then, the Crowned King turned his head and looked at the huge, towering ancient tree that grew behind the Crowned Temple.

“I see…” Xia Yan murmured.

The Brilliant King infuses the ancient tree with the power of the "King of Abundance," using its spreading roots to protect vast swathes of the Galar region.

That is precisely why it becomes weak.

“But,” Xia Yan frowned again, “since you knew there would be such a disaster, why didn’t you conserve your strength and wait until the disaster struck before taking action?”

The Crowned Queen pursed her lips.

[Because besides that disaster, I also 'saw' that I would experience an unavoidable ordeal, an ordeal that would occur before the disaster struck.]

The so-called "hardships".

It's probably because its power is waning.

【so.】

The Crowned Queen stared at Xia Yan with a serious look in her eyes.

Don't think that being able to know the future is a great thing. What's truly frustrating is that even if you know it, you can't stop it. That's why I've always been quite wary of this ability.

Through his experience with the Regalia King, Xia Yan gained some understanding of this.

If we say...

The Queen of the Rathalos knew that "Dark Night" would appear, but she did not choose to separate her power. Therefore, the so-called "ordeal" would most likely not occur, and even if it did, it might not have any effect on her.

But it was precisely because the Queen of the Raikou "saw" the "Dark Night" and separated her power that the "ordeal" became unavoidable.

All of this is based on the premise that "Dark Night" is "seen". If the Lady Crown King does not "see", things may develop in a different way.

But it is estimated that they will eventually arrive at the same destination by different means.

Anyway.

What's meant to happen will happen.

It has a feeling similar to the world self-constraining and self-correcting.

Also, don't think I'm omniscient or omnipotent. My knowledge is actually quite limited, far from that level.

That's easy to understand.

Even Arceus, the creator god who created this world, could not be omniscient and omnipotent, let alone the Lady Crown.
