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

Luo Ke still didn't have any ill feelings towards the five of them.

There is no idea that I should replace him.

Sitting here constantly thinking about how to 'rule' is not something Luo Ke likes. Since he himself doesn't like 'ruling,' he won't stop others from 'ruling'.

As long as these rulers create a world they like, they don't care who sits there working year-round.

With this in mind, Luo Ke remained very casual and relaxed from the moment he entered until he sat down.

Aside from initially glancing at the five elderly people for their distinctive features, I had no other reaction.

The ones who were truly nervous were the five elderly people in high positions!

The five of them were not without means or wisdom, but they were absolutely different from the high-level figures that Luo Ke perceived.

The characteristics they possess represent their hometown, and also signify that they are representatives of the people!

Therefore, when they were talking to Rocco, their "savior," each of them carried the heavy burden of the "people."

If they only consider their own interests, they will not be afraid; they will be calm, brave, and decisive—but when it comes to the people... they must be cautious!

However, no matter how careful you are, you still have to give the necessary greetings.

When the other five elders didn't speak up immediately, the most dignified of them all smiled at Luo Ke.

"Hello, Your Excellency Hero. It was supposed to be the five of us visiting you, but instead you've come to us. We're so sorry."

"Before we formally discuss some issues, let me give you a brief introduction."

"I am one of the people's representatives from Europe. You can just call me Alfonso."

As he spoke, the elegant old man Beckett also pointed to the others.

"The strongest one among us, you can call him Ivankov; the fattest one, you can call him Edward; the one wearing the dragon-patterned clothes is Li Changsheng; and the last one is Robert."

As Beckett introduced the man, the other four elderly men smiled and nodded at Rocco.

After the four of them had greeted Rocco, Beckett spoke again.

"Your Excellency, I won't beat around the bush—we want to ask you, or rather, we beg you, to save humanity from the hands of God!"

......

74. Five Elders (2)

"Therefore, we can provide anything that the alliance has, and you are welcome to make any demands."

The old man in the suit, Robert, added after Beckett spoke.

The other three then spoke up.

Li Changsheng spoke first.

"Although the problem is significant, we are actually prepared, so Your Excellency... you have the right to refuse."

Then there's Ivankov.

“That’s right. You need to think about yourself more than all of humanity.”

After finishing his conversation with Ivankov, Li Changsheng leaned back in his chair with a blank expression.

Edward, the only one who hadn't spoken yet, let out a deep sigh.

"Although our abilities are limited, Your Excellency, if you need us in any way, we will do our best."

With just a few words, Luo Ke gained a general understanding of the five elderly men in front of him.

The elderly man in the suit and the fat elderly man are conservatives, while the elegant elderly man spoke first and showed no particular inclination, so he should be neutral.

The old man in the long gown and the strong old man were probably hardliners.

but...

Faced with the pressure of the battle of the three gods, even the two of them weren't very assertive, so you can imagine the current state of the alliance.

While Roko was pondering, Necrozma, who had also heard everything, sighed inwardly.

If it fully recovers its strength, it will definitely step forward and create a space for these children that belongs to humanity.

Just as it originally did.

But its strength hasn't recovered yet...

Although their side is not weak, the core is Roko. Necrozma knows very well that, given Roko's personality, he will not stand idly by and watch the war of the three gods break out; he will definitely get involved.

But it can't ask too much of Rocco, that would be unfair to Rocco.

That's why it doesn't even want to reveal its identity as a glorious god.

I'm afraid these children will project the expectations they have for themselves onto Luo Ke.

So even if it really wanted to agree, it wouldn't interfere with Luo Ke's thoughts at this time.

even...

"Roco, although we've discussed this before, I still want to give you some advice—those three guys are definitely not weak, unlike any enemy you've faced so far."

Especially... when you're a human being.

While Rocco was still pondering what Necrozma said in the mental link, Victini and the others felt that Rocco was different from other humans.

But before they could even speak, Necrozma offered an explanation.

'Of course I know your strength far surpasses that of ordinary Pokémon, and as I said before, even if Kyogre and Groudon were to fight us one-on-one when we're fully fused, we'd still be able to win.'

'But humans and elves are different in some ways.'

'Although I don't know why, elves are protected by the world. When they are severely injured, this protection will shield them, especially for powerful elves like us.'

'But you are human—so if we fight together on the front lines, you'll be the only one among us without protection.'

"So if we fail, neither I, Victini, nor Mewtwo will likely die; we'll probably just suffer severe damage. But it's different for you; if we fail, you will die."

'On this matter, I hope you can consider it more carefully, at least not shoulder the burden of supporting all of humanity, so that you can extricate yourself at any time.'

As Necrozma explained, Victini and the others fell silent.

At the same time, they also began to worry about Rocco.

In the past, because of Roko's power, they did overlook some things, but now that I think about it, Necrozma's words make sense.

However, just as they were all trying to persuade Luo Ke, he didn't speak in the mental link. Instead, he crossed his arms and smiled at the five old men in front of him.

"I'll stop those guys."

Rocco gave an affirmative answer, and then, amidst the five elders' surprise and the somewhat silent state of Victini and the others, he smiled and continued speaking.

“I had already decided to get involved in this, and I have no intention of changing my mind now.”

"It's not because of ability, fame, profit, justice, or anything like that—it's simply because 'I like it'."

"I am fairly satisfied with the world as it is today. Perhaps it has some problems, but I do not want to see the war of the three gods destroy it."

"So it shouldn't be you trying to persuade me to do this, but rather I should be saying something to you..."

As he said this, Luo Ke raised his head, his smile unusually arrogant.

"...Sorry, I'm about to act recklessly~"

"No, no, no, it's us who are the ones who are great! No matter what, it's a great decision you made!"

"Yes, so we absolutely can't let you do this for nothing!"

“That’s right. Since you’ve done something that only a savior would do, then regardless of your thoughts or whether you succeed or not, you are already our savior and deserve everything a savior should have!”

Upon hearing Luo Ke's words, the five elders were shocked and spoke repeatedly.

The elderly man in the long gown and the strong old man were ten or even a hundred times more enthusiastic than the other three!

But only Necrozma and the others knew that Rocco's words were meant for them.

When Victini and Mewtwo heard Roko say this, they smiled along with Roko and secretly made up their minds that if they really failed, they would save Roko even if they had to die!

Necrozma felt even more guilty towards Roko.

It had originally intended to persuade Luo Ke not to push himself too hard, but seeing Luo Ke's reaction, it knew that it had backfired!

If all these elves had a high probability of dying in the battle of the three gods, and only Roko himself had a high probability of surviving, then Roko would have been conflicted, hesitant, or even refused.

But once he learned that they were unlikely to be in any danger, he was visibly more relaxed...

'Luo Ke...'

Necrozma wanted to say something in the mental link, but before it could speak, Rocco's voice rang out in the mental link first.

Oh dear, you're all too pessimistic!

'We've made plenty of preparations, and we even have room to prepare further—when it comes time to face those guys, why shouldn't they be the ones avoiding our attacks?'

'If you don't want to lose, if you don't want to suffer, isn't there an easy way out?'

'win! '

'If we win in the end, we'll win everything. Since we have such a good option, wouldn't it be foolish not to choose it?'

'Victory (Victini) is on our side—we have no reason to lose!'

'Tini!'

Upon hearing Rocco's words, Victini, inside its Poké Ball, put its little paws on its hips and proudly raised its head.

And it even shared this scene.

It's like an emoji.

This caused the other members of the team to smile unconsciously, even Necrozma was no exception.

Yes.

Instead of thinking about what to do if we fail, why not focus on how to win before the battle even begins?

This is what allows them to come together, just like when they fought the tsunami, and ultimately smile as they welcome the future!

Seeing that their atmosphere had improved, Luo Ke then looked at the five old men in front of him.

"I don't care about the compensation. Do whatever you want."

"But there is something I want to tell you, which is also the purpose of my visit."

Luo Ke smiled when he thought of Ruozong.

The five elders naturally wouldn't refuse, repeatedly saying that they would do their best to do even more than just one, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, or even more—as long as it was within their power!

......

75. The 'punishment' imposed on Wakamune

"What exactly is the punishment?"

Locked in a cell at the Alliance headquarters, Ruozong lay on an uncomfortable single bed, staring at the dim ceiling, lost in thought.

He himself didn't care about certain things, but he didn't want Nibiru to be sentenced to death because of his own affairs.

“Nibiru’s abilities have been exposed, so the best course of action is for the Alliance to prepare to utilize this power—provided Nibiru cooperates…”

Thinking of this, Ruozong closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

He knew that getting Nibiru to cooperate with the alliance would not be easy.

It seems that Randyll, Carmen, and Dragon might all cooperate with the Alliance because of their deaths, but Nibiru and his subordinates are too fanatical about him.

That's why we need to plan carefully.

Just as Ruozong was thinking this, the cell door was opened.

Hearing this voice, Ruozong slowly sat up, and then saw the Alliance staff gathered at the door with cold faces.

"Ruozong, come with us. Your punishment has been basically decided. Now, please come with us to see some officials."

"it is good."

Hearing that he would have the chance to speak to these important figures before his execution, Ruozong nodded slightly.
