As expected, after Calyrex settled down, the power obtained by the Dream Workshop was related to abundance!
Hikaru opened the door, and Calyrex was carried in by Turtwig. At this moment, Calyrex was thinking that if he could make more Reins of Unity in the future, perhaps he could prepare one for this Turtwig as well.
The combination of a turtle and a rabbit might seem a bit ridiculous, but as long as it's strong enough, it would be fine. This could also be considered his way of repaying the little turtle, allowing it to borrow his power!
And at the moment the door opened, a certain exchange of power that had originally existed in the room gradually ceased!
The Light Stone and Dark Stone both fell silent, pretending that nothing had just happened.
Earlier, the Light Stone and Dark Stone had engaged in a deep exchange, debating whether truth or ideals were more important.
The Light Stone wanted to use Hikaru's presence to make the Dark Stone bow down, but Zekrom within the Dark Stone was unwilling to just lose to Reshiram like that!
Although the Hero of Truth and the Hero of Ideals could indeed be the same person, ideals were definitely more important than truth! This was his belief as the Dragon of Ideals!
[If it weren't for him and his Pokémon finding you and hearing your call, you wouldn't have received his gift. This is the embodiment of truth!]
Reshiram's words left Zekrom speechless!
Of course, Zekrom didn't want to confront Reshiram here. After all, he was in the wrong, and he had also accepted the gift of the Hero of Truth. So, Zekrom thought of a compromise!
He might not be able to become the Hero of Ideals, but his Pokémon had the ideal of eating every Pecha Berry in existence!
Then, as long as that Water Dragon becomes a hero, the master of the Hero Dragon would naturally be a hero too!
In this way, he wouldn't be in conflict with Reshiram's choice. After all, this was the new hero chosen by the Hero of Ideals!
Reshiram was furious at this statement!
Of course, Zekrom had another idea... The Hero of Ideals might not necessarily be able to realize his ideals, but at the very least, he is someone filled with ideas about the future. So, the current hero is the Hero of Truth, and the future hero is the Hero of Ideals. This doesn't conflict at all!
The truth of the present is stronger than ideals, but the ideals of the future will be stronger than truth!
Reshiram: "...?"
[In any case, I will consider it as you acknowledging that the truth of the present is stronger than ideals, right? In that case, I permit you to accept the gift of my hero!]
Although this result was somewhat of a compromise, at least both the Black and White Dragons believed they had obtained what they wanted!
Hikaru sensed the mysterious atmosphere in the room and introduced it to Calyrex:
"This place is filled with vitality thanks to the power of the Light Stone. This stone is the dormant form of the Legendary Pokémon named Reshiram from another region. The other stone is the Dark Stone."
Calyrex felt the immense energy contained within the two stones, but he was somewhat puzzled:
『Another dormant Legendary Pokémon? So, there are many powerful beings like me who have been sleeping all this time.』
His mood suddenly improved!
The two stones before him appeared quiet, but Calyrex noticed something strange:
『It seems these two stones were just having some sort of exchange. Their energies collided. Is it really okay to leave them here?』
Intense energy residue still lingered in the air. Although the hostility wasn't too strong, Calyrex could feel that the two stones did not seem to be in harmony!
If it was just a simple argument, would it have resulted in such a severe power clash?
"Ah, it's fine. Sometimes they oppose each other, and sometimes they help each other. That's just how the two legendary dragons are. One honors ideals, the other worships truth."
It should be fine. After all, the relationship between the Black and White Dragons has always been one of love and conflict, Hikaru thought.
Representing truth and steam industry, Reshiram, and representing ideals and electric industry, Zekrom. If their energies could be stored, perhaps unique items could be created.
Just as Hikaru was pondering this, he suddenly noticed something strange under the Light Stone. Rushing over to inspect it, he discovered it was a piece of stone that had flaked off from the Light Stone!
[Rare Material: Fragment of the Light Stone.]
[Description: A fragment that inexplicably peeled off from the Light Stone, which can be regarded as a tangible representation of Reshiram's power.]
[Effect: If given to Fire-type or Dragon-type Pokémon, it will enhance their growth and strengthen their power.]
[Obtained Craft: Amplification Box Craft (B+) - This is the craft of creating special machines. It requires corresponding mechanical knowledge and can produce machine boxes that store Pokémon energy and produce unique effects.]
An Amplification Box... Referring to devices like the Magma Amplifier and Electric Amplifier? The structure and assembly of such machines seemed to be recorded in the mechanical manual Akari had previously given him!
Speaking of which, these two boxes were unique devices discovered only in recent years and were even included in special research projects. Who exactly made them is still unknown. Sometimes, similar items would appear in ancient Hisui through space-time distortions, but Akari had already deciphered their structure.
Hikaru held the fragment, staring at the Light Stone with curiosity, continuously observing the stone's condition.
Why did it suddenly shed its skin? Reshiram's ability is not supposed to be shedding! And can stones even shed fragments? Could it be sick even within a dream?
The Dark Stone at the side: [...]
Just now, he left behind powder, and this time, the Light Stone responded by leaving skin fragments. Was it working so hard just to assist the hero it had chosen?
"Try injecting some power into it." Hikaru channeled energy into the Light Stone, thinking something was wrong with it. Under his gentle influence, the surface of the Light Stone became brighter and purer, radiating powerful vitality.
[The Light Stone is feeling very joyful.]
"It seems there's nothing wrong."
Hikaru scratched his head, but then he heard a roar from outside!
『Something is approaching from outside!』
Outside the workshop, a dragon's roar echoed. Calyrex immediately rode the Turtwig out the door and saw a huge dragon running across the Rainbow Bridge leading to the ancient city!
『An intruder? Let me drive it away!』 Calyrex's eyes turned sharp!
He never expected an invading Pokémon to appear in such a peaceful dream world!
『Long ago, my steed also rampaged across the land. I subdued them, made them submit to me, and ended their rampage. Although the Pokémon before me looks like a dragon... I've never ridden a dragon before!』
"No, that looks like my Pokémon!" Hikaru squinted and saw Walking Wake returning!
"It's Walking Wake."
"Roar~" Walking Wake quickly crossed the Rainbow Bridge, holding something in its small claws. When it saw Hikaru, it grew excited, wagging its tail as it ran over. But when it saw Calyrex riding on the little Turtwig...
"Roar?" Walking Wake tilted its head.
Hah, what a big cauliflower! Is this a new kind of food?
"Roar!" Walking Wake's eyes shone with curiosity and it bit down on Calyrex's big head!
『You... What are you doing?!』
Calyrex's eyes widened, his little hands anxiously waving around, tears almost bursting from the pain:
『Let go, let go, you rude beast!』
