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

The battle of the three gods is a shock to people living in this world, but it's nothing new to Pokémon player Roco.

"So the final result was that the sky god suppressed the sea and the land?"

Hearing Rocco's question, Carmen shook her head slightly.

She didn't know the outcome of this battle.

But just before she was about to speak, Ningya's voice rang out.

"No, the battle between the three gods of the sky, the sea, and the earth was evenly matched. As their battle grew larger, the human god, the Great God of Radiance, finally couldn't stand it any longer and chose to intervene."

"In the end, the Radiant God disappeared without a trace, and the war was ended by it with its great power."

"The god of the sea has returned to the sea, the god of the sky has returned to the sky, and the god of the earth, Groudon, has entered the Raton volcano and has been sleeping ever since."

As Ning Ya spoke, Luo Ke and Carmen focused their attention on her, and Ning Ya sighed softly after she finished speaking.

"This is what the league told us when they gathered a group of top players and champions a while ago. Besides that, there are some other things. Luo Ke, you are a top player now, so you should know these things too."

"I've been busy with the work related to the change of leadership lately, so I forgot to tell you. Now that Carmen brought it up, I thought I'd tell you."

As she said this, Ningya's gaze fell on Carmen.

“Carmen, since you already know about the existence of gods, then listen to this—but don’t spread this around, at least not now, or it will cause a riot.”

Hearing Ningya say this, Carmen gave her a deep look, then shook her head slightly.

"No, since it's something only the King and the Champion would know, I won't listen."

As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Ning Ya, who seemed about to say something, and Luo Ke, who was looking over. A smile returned to her face.

"You don't need to keep me here. I'll find out about this sooner or later anyway."

"After all, even if I fail to challenge the Heavenly King here, I haven't given up on becoming the Heavenly King. There are still three Heavenly Kings in China, and I will take the throne from one of them."

"Alright, I'll be going now—Roco, come to the Ripple Gym tomorrow to talk to me about the Crimson Orb."

After leaving those words, Carmen decisively turned and left.

Her thoughts were just as she said.

If there were any other reasons... it was that she thought about it and realized that Ning Ya would be there too if they discussed this here, but if they changed the time, she would be alone with Luo Ke.

Even if something unexpected happens, Karen will help her once she sobers up.

So there's no rush!

After Carmen left, Ningya discovered that the time she had been looking forward to for just the two of them had been cleverly achieved under the current circumstances!

Although I feel a little bad for Carmen and Karen, luck really was on my side!

With this in mind, Ning Ya silently poured Luo Ke a glass of wine and then told him what the alliance had told them at the meeting.

"Roco, I suppose you've also noticed that the League has changed the rules and is heavily supporting research, all of which are designed to strengthen trainers."

"The reason the Alliance did this is because the Earth God, who is sleeping in the Rodan Volcano, suddenly began to accumulate power recently—the god is about to awaken!"

"The great war may break out again, and no one can be sure whether the Radiant God will appear this time."

"So even if we have no intention of raising a battle flag against the gods, we must still protect ourselves!"

Upon hearing Ning Ya's words, Luo Ke pursed his lips and nodded slightly.

He had guessed that something was about to happen when he was with Tian Sui, but he really didn't expect it to be about Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza.

Whether in the game or the anime, Rayquaza always has the advantage in the battle between these three, so the war won't last too long or escalate to an uncontrollable level.

But if, as Ning Ya says, Rayquaza doesn't have this advantage, then there's a big problem!

No one can stop them; only God knows how long they'll fight.

It's possible that by the time their war ends, the land will fill the sea, and the sea will swallow the land—this process might repeat itself many times over.

This situation made Luo Ke frown.

He was thinking of ways to solve the problem.

Seeing him like this, Ningya silently poured him a glass of wine and then sighed softly.

She understood Luo Ke's current thoughts. After all, when she first heard about this, she was also desperately trying to figure out how to handle it—until she realized that this was not something that one person could handle, but a massive event that required the combined efforts of all humanity to barely accomplish anything.

"Luo Ke, don't carry everything on your shoulders. Human ability is limited. We can do our best, but don't let things that are impossible to achieve by effort alone become a burden."

"This matter concerns all of humanity. There are many capable people in the world, so there will definitely be a way."

Hearing Ning Ya say this, Luo Ke came back to his senses and nodded slightly.

"I see."

Ning Ya looked into his eyes and realized that Luo Ke had really listened, so she smiled again.

However, what she didn't know was that the maximum effort she could exert was absolutely different from the maximum effort Luo Ke could exert!

So Ning Ya poured Luo Ke another glass of wine, hoping to calm him down this way. At the same time, she mentally imagined what might happen if they continued drinking like this...

But at that moment, the back door was opened.

"I am back!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ya's smile almost immediately froze.

Because...that's Alice's voice!

She followed the lights straight to the restaurant, and upon seeing the situation at the table, a perfect smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh, perfect timing! I haven't had dinner yet, so there should be some for me, right?"

Hearing her say that, Ningya knew one thing...

Her life with Luo Ke is completely over!

......

46. ​​Necrozma, the Radiant God

"I'll get you a bowl and chopsticks."

"Thank you so much, Sister Ningya~"

Ningya and Alice actually have a tacit understanding.

For example, neither of them would bring certain things to Luo Ke's attention, thus causing him distress.

Under these circumstances, after watching Alice and Ningya interact over the meal, Luo Ke felt that they had a pretty good relationship.

The meal ended in this atmosphere.

After all the elves had finished eating, Roco offered to help wash the dishes, but Alice and Ningya both refused.

"Luo Ke, you have a battle tomorrow, right? Go and get some rest."

"Yes, leave the dishwashing to us."

The two of them said this, and gestured for Luo Ke to go back to his room. As for the two of them...

Yes, while washing the dishes, I felt that there were some things I really needed to talk to the other person about.

...

click!

After returning to his room in the Grass and Tree Dojo, Luo Ke slowly closed the door. He didn't turn on the light, but simply walked to the sofa by the window and sat down in the moonlight.

He leaned back against the sofa and slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, with Mewtwo's help, his mental energy connected with all his Pokémon.

"You have something you want to ask me, right?"

After this mental connection was established, it was not Roko who spoke first, but Necrozma.

It knew long ago, when it heard Ningya say that Groudon was about to awaken and that humans were trying to protect themselves, that Roko and the others would come to ask it some questions when no one else was around.

after all...

If Rocco could ignore something like the war between the three gods, he wouldn't be the Dark Hero.

"Yes, Necrozma. Just to be on the safe side, I won't make any wild guesses. We're all allies, so I'll just ask you directly—you're the Radiant God, right?"

"...right."

Necrozma sighed softly, and without asking how Roko had guessed, simply agreed.

The most surprised by its answer were not Roko, but Victini, Mewtwo, Aegislash, and Ditto.

There's no way around it; anyone with even a slight understanding of human history will inevitably know the name of the Radiant God.

God of mankind, God of light and hope, God of justice, guardian of heroes...

Over thousands of years, humanity has bestowed far too many positive evaluations upon the glorious god.

Even now, the highest level of the alliance consists of five members, instead of one leader, because the position of leader has always been reserved for the Radiant God.

In this world that has been painstakingly built into what it is today, Rocco has no doubt that as long as Necrozma returns as a radiant god, even if it has lost all its power, humanity will still respect it as a deity.

so...

"Then do I need to think of a way to prove your identity to the Alliance, and then mobilize the entire Alliance's power to help you restore 'Light'?"

"no need."

Necrozma refused.

"The way to restore 'light' is to spread Z-Moves, and you've done a great job in that regard."

"Perhaps if you mobilize the entire alliance, this matter can be handled in a more extreme way and the speed can be increased, but... it will still be too late."

"The fact that the League's higher-ups are aware that Groudon is about to awaken means that it's accumulating power faster than I expected."

"By then, I might be able to accumulate enough power to suppress my own madness, but even if I only reach that level, I won't be a match for any of those three guys."

"It's better to stay with you than to fight like this—at least when we're all one, we'll definitely be stronger than if I force myself to fight in this position."

Upon hearing such praise from the radiant god Necrozma, Victini's triumphant voice echoed through the mental link.

Seeing its appearance, Mewtwo, who had been somewhat solemn, felt a little more relaxed and asked Necrozma a question.

"If we unite as one, can we stop the war between the three gods?"

At Mewtwo's question, the entire mental link fell silent as everyone awaited Necrozma's answer.

Clearly, they all know and approve of Luo Ke.

So now we can actually make a declaration.

In this battle of the three gods, the Radiant God may not appear, but the Dark Hero will definitely appear!

Therefore, at this point in time, it is essential to understand your opponents in advance.

"That won't work..."

Unusually, Necrozma hesitated.

However, its tone immediately became more certain.

"Well, no."

"If all of us combine our strength, we would definitely be able to put up a fight against either Groudon, the god of the earth, or Kyogre, the god of the sea. I even think we would win."

"But those two guys have no sense of justice. Although they seem to be hostile, if you get involved, they will both attack you."

"If we were to fight two against one, even our combined strength wouldn't be enough."

Necrozma first gave an answer that made Victini and the others frown, and then it said something even more terrifying.

"And what that little girl said before was wrong."

"The sky, the earth, and the sea are not evenly matched."

"Groudon and Kyogre are indeed evenly matched, but Rayquaza, the Sky God—that guy is terrifyingly strong!"

"When the three gods fought, this guy was somewhere else before he arrived. Anyway, he was injured and lost about a third of the energy stored in his body. Under such circumstances, Groudon and Kyogre teamed up against him, so the final result was that they were evenly matched."

"That guy's injuries have definitely healed this time, and he won't suffer any more losses before the battle. At that time, that guy alone will be more terrifying than Groudon and Kyogre combined!"

"And for some reason, Rayquaza has an extreme aversion to humans and me. Otherwise, if it had only been stopping Groudon and Kyogre back then, I wouldn't have ended up fighting it, and I wouldn't have used up all my strength to be hit by Groudon's final attack."

Hearing Necrozma say that, Rocco was also a little puzzled.
