Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

"Luo Ke is indeed remarkable."

The leader of the Holy King's Legion, Cicel, crossed his arms and rested his chin on them as he uttered this exclamation.

On either side of him, the two people sitting in a triangle with him both agreed.

“Yes, but his destruction of the Immortal Chapter has indeed affected our plans. No matter how much we admire him, Cecil, you must understand that he is now a potential enemy of ours.”

The Grand Master of the Heavenly Grace Knights, Larkes, stood solemnly like a statue.

He's an absolutely serious guy, so the more capable Luo Ke becomes, the more worried he gets.

However, Xiao Feng, the leader of the Sirius Battle Group and the last member of this triangular structure, did not agree with Larcas's words.

"First of all, I think the problems caused by the Eternal Life Battle Group are entirely the fault of that idiot Hao Jiao. He didn't even notify us allies before he made his move, so we have no reason to pay for his stupidity."

"Secondly, if everything really does develop into the worst possible outcome, I would rather face an upright, proud, and arrogant guy than a treacherous enemy, even if he is very strong."

Xiao Feng said this, and Larkas nodded silently in agreement.

Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus, Cissel joined in the conversation.

"Yes, but it's best to avoid going up against Luo Ke."

“We know exactly where the resources the Longevity Battle Group has accumulated are, but we need to be decisive and get rid of them completely, cutting all ties with the Longevity Battle Group.”

"Doing this will indeed cause our alliance to lose a lot of resources, but we should be more conservative until the owner of the 'Black Crown' appears."

Upon hearing Cisel mention the Black Crown, both Xiao Feng and Larcas nodded in agreement.

The core of their alliance was a treasure called the Black Crown.

This thing appeared in the middle of the period of the kingdoms.

Legend has it that the black crown represents ideals and the white scepter represents truth. The one who receives the recognition of these two treasures is the chosen king, who will gain great power and create his own kingdom.

And this legend was indeed proven true during the height of the Kingdoms era.

Two absolute kings were indeed born at that time.

The world at that time was indeed divided in two with the two of them at its core.

After the two great kingdoms, one black and one white, split apart, the era of the kingdoms declined from its peak, and the black crown and the white scepter disappeared without a trace.

Rumor has it that these two treasures disappeared suddenly, just as suddenly as they appeared.

They will only reappear before people when they sense the birth of someone qualified to possess them, and will eventually appear in the hands of the chosen king.

That's why he was so excited when Cisel found the Black Crown.

That's why other legion alliances agreed when Cisel approached them.

For these Legion-style trainers who are no longer part of the mainstream, the Chosen King is what they long for.

"Yes, waiting for the chosen king to appear is the most important thing for us."

Larkas spoke seriously, but those who knew him well could see that even when he was very serious, there was a hint of fanaticism in his small eyes.

"When the chosen king obtains the black crown, he will lead us back to the pinnacle of the world!"

"Destroy the order established by the Alliance and rebuild a completely new order—even if two chosen kings appear together and the world is split in two again, it's fine."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Feng responded with equal fervor.

"No, it would be better to say that it should be divided into two parts!"

"Without war, only local problems arise, then we legion trainers, regardless of our style, have no place to use our skills."

"I don't want to end up like those shameful guys, completely abandoning the war effort and turning into a construction company, hunting park management, logistics company, or something like that... Warriors belong on the battlefield!"

"And chaos is our ladder!"

Seeing Xiao Feng like this, Lars nodded silently, and Cisel also agreed.

Ultimately, the alliance will not completely destroy a group.

Many of those Legion-style trainers who were willing to switch careers are doing quite well now.

Those who still insist on the Legion strategy are either fanatical war enthusiasts or extremely ambitious individuals, or at the very least, old nobles and royalty who are unwilling to cooperate with the alliance.

How could they not want to see the world descend into chaos?

How could they possibly like the existence of an alliance?

so...

"You guys really don't fit into this era."

In the hall that should have housed only three people, the voice of a fourth person rang out.

The three of them immediately became alert and looked over. They then saw a man dressed in black armor with two swords at his waist sitting on the windowsill in the moonlight. He had been listening silently for quite a while.

At that moment, the dark-skinned hero jumped down from the windowsill and drew a bright red sword from his waist.

"A pursuit of chaos, war, and a mind filled with ambition and madness... This hopeful world can no longer tolerate the existence of guys like you and Hao Jiao."

"I am not a hero who pursues justice, and I will not reason with you."

"Maybe I'm the one who's wrong, but goodbye for the world I dream of."

......

29. Necrozma really knows everything.

Hao Jiao was interrogated by Luo Ke alone.

Using Rocco's method, he wouldn't miss anything he wanted to know.

Initially, he had no idea that the Eternal Life Battle Group had allies. It was only because of some previous events that he saw a sense of déjà vu in Hao Jiao.

This made him wary of Hao Jiao having any death threats, lest he cause any trouble after his death.

So, naturally, Luo Ke asked about Hao Jiao's allies.

The things they did that couldn't be brought to light, their ambitions, their plans, and... the Black Crown!

To the people of this world, the Black Crown may be a piece of history, a legend, but something similar becomes completely different when it comes to Rocco.

Ideal versus reality, black versus white... there can't be any mistake, right?

Luo Ke took the black crown, placed it under the moonlight, and examined it carefully.

Behind him, Cisel and his men had disappeared, and along with them, their respective legions remained silent.

Hmm... if this black crown is related to the white scepter and the black and white dragons, then if they really find the so-called chosen king, the problem will become quite complicated.

"But now that this black crown is in my hands, at least half of the potential trouble can be avoided, right?"

That's right, Rocco is going to take this black crown with him.

Luo Ke didn't even glance at the resources accumulated by the several major battle groups.

Perhaps for Cisse and his team, the resources that even ordinary tennis stars or champions couldn't easily gather were already considered a lot, but for Rocco... it was just so-so.

The Alliance gave him all the Z-crystal mines in the world, and with the Lorraine family helping to manage them, money and resources were just numbers to Roco.

If he needs it, he only needs to make a phone call to Alice, and ten times more resources than these can appear before him in a short time!

He simply doesn't need it.

"Alright, it's time to leave."

Luo Ke said this.

Just as he was about to put the black crown away, light suddenly shone from it.

Luo Ke vaguely sensed that the crown seemed to be emitting a kind of fluctuation.

The wave resonated with Roko upon contact, and then the Black Crown transformed into a red light, locking onto a Void Poké Ball on Roko's body. Just like Necrozma did initially, it immediately entered the ball!

Seeing this, Rocco took out the Poké Ball and looked inside through the red part.

"What's happening here?"

Rocco was puzzled, as were Bictini and the others.

Even the Fairy King's Sword was seeing the Black Crown for the first time. If we were to say who among them was most likely to recognize this thing, it would only be Necrozma.

Then it did indeed speak.

"When you first came into contact with it, its silence was a way of sensing your ideals. And now, this is proof that it recognizes your ideals."

At this point, Necrozma's voice sounded somewhat strange.

"Luo Ke, the Black Crown does not readily accept ideals, not even during the era of the kingdoms. The reason why the Black Crown suddenly disappeared is because the ideal lost its justice."

"Therefore, in this judgment of the Black Crown, your ideals are full of justice."

"In other words—this black crown also recognizes you as a hero."

"Are you still planning to deny it?"

Upon hearing Necrozma's voice, Roc shook his head decisively, but instead of responding to Necrozma's words, he simply changed the subject.

"Necrozma, since you recognize this black crown, do you know how to unleash its power, and what the effects will be?"

Seeing Roko's expression, Necrozma, knowing he didn't want to answer the question, just chuckled a few times and stopped insisting on the original topic, instead offering Roko her answer.

"The ideal black crown will transform your ideal into power when it is at its strongest. Where this power will be used depends on the circumstances at that time."

"Besides its function of transforming ideals, this black crown has another effect."

"The person chosen by the Black Crown needs to go to a ruin. Once you arrive at that ruin, you can use the Black Crown to awaken the black dragon, which will help you realize your dream."

Seeing that Necrozma knew even these things, Victini and the others nodded in surprise, and began to speculate more about Necrozma's identity.

Luo Ke was not surprised by this, nodded slightly, and then asked the question again.

"Do you know the location of that ruin?"

"Regarding the location..."

This time, Necrozma's voice carried a hint of hesitation.

"...If it were many years ago, then I would certainly know the exact location."

"But so many things have changed over the years. I can only say that the original location of the ruins was in the hunting area on the current map of China."

"As for the current state of the ruins, whether the elf is still inside, and whether the location of the ruins has changed with the changes in the land... I have no idea."

Knowing this already satisfied Rocco.

So as Rocco put away the Poké Ball and jumped out the window, he nodded slightly.

"That's enough. Now that we've become Heavenly Kings, we don't need to collect badges anymore. After the arena event is over, let's go check out the hunting area."

...

The Lorraine family.

When Rocco received the Black Crown, Alice was tidying up at home.

Because of the rewards Rocco had given to the Lorraine family, Alice was freed from her position as head of the family to a certain extent. She was able to challenge experts in various places, explore and adventure, and also had time to study tactics, which gave her considerable freedom.

Alice had other things to do during this time.

But she learned that Luo Ke had become a superstar, and she also learned that Luo Ke had set up the arena.

So she changed her original plan.

She's going to Eagle City now to find Luo Ke and challenge him!

As for whether or not we can win...

There is no such word as "defeat" in the Lorraine family dictionary!

"However, besides the challenge, we can also ask Rocco if he's interested in exploring the ruins."

"If he's interested, let's go to the Shenzhou Hunting Area together. It's a newly discovered ruin; we might find some interesting documents or spirits inside!"

The thought of going on an adventure with Rocco brought a beautiful smile to Alice's face as she packed her bags.

"Oh, right, since we're going to find Luo Ke, let's bring that thing along too."

"Although I don't know what use this thing will be to Roco, he really liked that rotten sword from last time. This time, I accidentally found it while adventuring around and bought it at a high price. I think he'll like it too~"
