What is your truth? Hearing this question, Mammon raised an eyebrow.
A telepathic message combined with the question 'truth'—honestly, if Mammon couldn't guess who asked it, he would have lived in vain. Isn't this our twin-tailed White Dragon?
It seems coming to Icirrus City was effective; Reshiram is already seeking him out.
However, after saying that, the voice fell silent, and Mammon didn't know what was happening. Watching Hilda's retreating figure, Mammon's lips curved slightly.
Under normal circumstances, if he hadn't appeared, Reshiram would most likely have sought out Hilda, right? After all, by watching the battle against the Dark Triad just now, Hilda was already a formidable Elite Four Trainer.
And clearly, she was a newcomer who had just started her journey this year. In just half a year, Hilda had already reached this level of strength, showing her talent. But it's truly a pity.
"Kyogre, someone just connected to me telepathically. Did you sense it?"
"I sensed a bit. What is it, Mammon? What did the guy who connected to you want?" Primal Kyogre's deep telepathic voice asked Mammon.
These local Pokemon are truly impolite. Don't they know that Mammon is my, Primal Kyogre's, Trainer? If that impolite fellow came looking for trouble, Primal Kyogre would make sure that guy performed 'Water Spout' in front of Mammon!
"Don't be nervous, it's nothing bad." Mammon heard the displeasure in Primal Kyogre's emotions.
"Can you sense the source of this telepathy?" Mammon asked Primal Kyogre. Since Reshiram had actively sought him out, there was no reason not to respond.
Of the two Dragon Gods, Truth and Ideals, Mammon was only interested in 'Truth'. After all, when it came to 'Ideals', Mammon didn't really have any particularly grand ideals.
While N's ideals were a bit extreme, he genuinely yearned for that world with the most sincere heart. You could say N's current ideals had issues, but you couldn't say his ideals weren't grand or pure enough.
Mammon never really had any intention of snatching Zekrom from N. Because Mammon did indeed have the ambition to plant Team Rocket's flag across the entire world, and even into parallel worlds, but that was ambition, not an ideal. To insist it was an ideal would be a bit much.
But 'Truth' was different.
"I can't sense that." Primal Kyogre replied honestly.
"Alright." Mammon wasn't disappointed. Sensing the other party's location through telepathy was indeed too advanced.
No problem, he would go to Dragonspiral Tower tomorrow. It was highly likely to be there, no doubt.
Mammon led Caitlin and Elesa towards the city center of Icirrus City. As for the Dark Triad, Mammon directly sent the three of them to the police station. It's worth mentioning that Jenny almost presented Mammon with a commendation banner, which Mammon politely declined.
It was summer, and Icirrus City was covered in greenery. Although it didn't have the winter's silver frost all over the city like in online pictures, it was still a city with very nice scenery. The three of them first booked a hotel, and then prepared to find a place for dinner.
And coincidentally, Hilda contacted Elesa. They had each other's contact information. Hilda had already returned Larvesta to its owner and was preparing to return to Icirrus City with a friend. After consulting Mammon, Elesa gave Hilda the location of their restaurant.
However, when Hilda arrived with her friend, Mammon was a little surprised. With her signature double bun hairstyle, wearing a fitted blue and white long-sleeved top, black leggings, and yellow skirt-shorts. A very youthful, beautiful, and somewhat sexy girl—it was Hilda, the female protagonist of 'Black and White 2'!
Watching Hilda and Hilda approach, Mammon truly felt a sense of déjà vu. This was two generations of female protagonists in one frame.
However, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but Hilda seemed a bit listless.
"Hello, hello~ Sorry, are we late?" Hilda clasped her hands apologetically, as many dishes had already been served at the table.
"Not at all, the dishes just finished being served. You're just in time." Mammon smiled, "Please sit down first, you must be hungry too."
"Then we'll make ourselves at home." Hilda pulled the seemingly sleepy Hilda to sit down.
"It seems we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Hilda from Nuvema Town. I just started my journey this year." It was clear that Hilda had a very outgoing personality.
"I'm Hilda from Aspertia City. I'm also a Trainer who just started my journey this year. Nice to meet you all." Hilda finally came back to her senses a bit and immediately followed suit.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Mammon from Kanto, and this is my good friend Caitlin." Mammon responded with a smile.
"Mammon, you're so handsome." Hilda patted her cheeks to regain some energy, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Mammon.
Indeed, she was quite looks-oriented, and her personality was also very carefree and outgoing.
"Thank you, Hilda, you're very cute too." Mammon couldn't help but smile. Although he was quite confident in his own looks, it was truly rare for someone like Hilda to compliment his handsomeness the first time they met.
"Hehe~ Many people say that!" Hilda giggled and stuck out her tongue, looking very adorable.
Hilda rolled her eyes from the side but said nothing, after all, her sister was indeed very popular.
Speaking of which, in terms of pure looks, Hilda was not inferior to Hilda, but Hilda's two bun hairstyles added a lot, and Hilda's black leggings were practically like black stockings, looking very alluring. Plus... Hilda's development was clearly much better than Hilda's; the two buns on her chest were even bigger than the ones on her head.
Hmm, Caitlin glanced at Hilda's chest, then at her own, and her expression noticeably changed.
"Hilda, did you not get enough rest last night? Your dark circles are quite heavy." Mammon asked with curiosity.
"Ah~ Not last night, I haven't slept well these past two days." Hilda couldn't help but look dejected. As a girl who cared about her appearance, being told directly about dark circles was quite disheartening for Hilda.
"Would you mind telling me why?" Mammon was very curious about the reason.
"Emm... Hilda, you tell him." Hilda was a bit unsure how to explain and sought help from her sister.
"It's like this, for the past two days, a mysterious voice has always appeared in our minds." Hilda said helplessly.
"A mysterious voice?" Elesa, who had been quietly eating, couldn't help but speak up upon hearing this.
"Yes, it's really creepy!" Hilda rubbed her small face, then slapped it hard again.
"Sometimes for half an hour, sometimes for an hour, it just suddenly appears in our minds. It's terrible!" It could be heard that Hilda hated this voice, or rather, she was already tormented beyond endurance.
"It makes it so I can't even concentrate during battles. It just pops up every now and then."
"It appears during the day, and even more so at night. It even appears in my dreams when I'm asleep. I can't get any good sleep."
"Don't let me find it! Otherwise, this girl will definitely not let it off!" Hilda muttered, filled with resentment.
"Could it be a Ghost-type Pokemon playing a prank?" Caitlin asked, puzzled.
"No, I feel it should be the telepathy of some mysterious Pokemon, because this voice didn't just appear these past two days." Hilda shook her head, her tone very certain.
"About half a month ago, this voice appeared. At that time, I was in Nimbasa City, and Hilda was in Mistralton City, but the voice we heard was the same." This was no longer something that could be described as a supernatural event.
Caitlin and Elesa both began to ponder. If it were a supernatural event, it might be a Ghost-type Pokemon playing a prank. After all, mischievous Ghost-types had many precedents, but Hilda and Hilda's situation was clearly not right.
"Did that voice say anything to you?" Elesa became interested.
"Truth... Oh, girl, what is your truth? Tell me your... truth..." Hilda lowered her voice, mimicking it so vividly that Mammon's expression became extremely strange.
"That's how it is, it hasn't stopped for a single day. When I respond to it, it goes silent again. I really can't stand it!" Hilda leaned back in her chair, in a state of burnout.
"I only slept for three hours last night, boo hoo hoo, I was completely kept awake by this voice."
And just then. 'Truth... Your truth... Tell me...'
A ethereal, ethereal voice seemed to echo directly in his heart, appearing once again in Mammon's mind. But this time, Mammon fell into deep thought, because...
"It's here again, it's here again! I beg you, stop harassing me." Hilda was almost at her breaking point.
Hilda also had a hard time keeping a straight face; she clearly heard the voice too. So... this was a group message?
Mammon fell into thought. What did this White Dragon mean???
"Then why did you two come to Icirrus City?" Unable to hear the mysterious voice, Elesa naturally didn't know the distress Mammon, Hilda, and Hilda were experiencing at that moment.
"Actually, there's no special reason. I don't know how to describe it, it's like someone was guiding us in the dark. Both Hilda and I just ended up here." Hilda shook her head. She only found out that Hilda had also coincidentally arrived in Icirrus City through their usual communication.
"Perhaps, it's because the owner of this voice is near Icirrus City." Hilda sighed. She had also been 'tormented' quite a bit recently, but compared to the more sensitive Hilda, she was able to endure it a bit more. In fact, the clever Hilda had a guess, but she couldn't be sure. Besides, honestly, truth? Hilda also didn't know what her own truth truly was.
"I wonder if this dragon has sent 'telegrams' to anyone else..." Mammon was already finding it hard to cope. Not only did it keep sending 'harassing messages', but it also secretly guided Hilda and Hilda to Icirrus City.
Is this White Dragon... really serious?
Most importantly, counting himself, there were already three Truth Hero reserve candidates, but who knew how many 'backups' Reshiram had? Was the White Dragon planning a mass audition here??
