—------------------—
Having retrieved the life jewel, Sheena was clearly in a very good mood.
It was getting late, so Sheena specifically asked Mr. Mammon and the other two to stay, stating that her cooking was excellent.
Under her warm invitation, Mr. Mammon and the other two did not refuse.
"I never expected that a Ruins Guardian could even summon Dialga."
In a pavilion in front of the temple ruins, Caitlin elegantly took a sip of tea, still unable to help but exclaim.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she truly wouldn't have believed it.
Such an ordinary Guardian girl actually possessed such an ability.
"Indeed, this world truly holds too many secrets."
Cynthia, who was reading an ancient book, heard this and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Sheena isn't that outrageous, actually. You might not be able to imagine that a Pokémon whose combat power can rival or even surpass Dialga was sealed by a human with their own strength," Mr. Mammon chuckled.
"Sealed… by a human?"
Caitlin and Cynthia were both quite astonished.
It wasn't that they didn't believe Mr. Mammon, but why did that sound so unfamiliar?
A Pokémon whose combat power could rival Dialga was undoubtedly an extremely powerful legend, right?
Sealed by a human?
"It's true, though it's bizarre, it's indeed true."
What Mr. Mammon was referring to was, of course, the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa. A hundred years ago, Hoopa, to demonstrate its power, used its abilities to summon Legendary Pokémon en masse for battles.
Regigigas, Reshiram, Zekrom, Groudon, and so on.
Because of the battles between the Legendary Pokémon, that village was severely damaged. Then, a traveler arrived and used their power to create a Prison Bottle to seal Hoopa's power.
Since then, the Devil Pokémon Hoopa disappeared, leaving only the Mischief Pokémon Punishment Hú Pà.
The traveler who sealed Hoopa came from the Genesis Valley and was named Gulis.
The Genesis Valley is a secluded place where a group of people who worship Arceus live. Gulis was one of them, and probably the strongest among them.
To be honest, it's no exaggeration to say that Gulis was arguably the strongest human ability user Mr. Mammon had ever seen in the "Pokémon" series.
Just the act of creating the Prison Bottle that sealed Hoopa was already extremely exaggerated, and this seal merely sealed Hoopa's power, but Hoopa itself was still outside.
This also aligned with Gulis's idea: he wanted to change Hoopa's nature, to make it use its power to help others, rather than acting recklessly with its strength.
Besides sealing Hoopa, Gulis also displayed abilities such as psychokinesis and accelerating plant growth in the movie.
Damn, he was practically a superman!
Abilities like Viridian Power and Aura Heart Power were almost shattered into pieces in front of Gulis.
This was the power gained from believing in Arceus, the Arceus!!
But this was limited to Gulis, a special individual. In reality, the other people in the Genesis Valley were not as exaggerated as Gulis, such as his great-grandson and great-granddaughter, who were Barza and Mayari, the trainers of Punishment Hú Pà in the movie.
"If there's a chance, I'll take you to see that sealed Pokémon. As for that person, he has already died of old age."
Gulis was a young man a hundred years ago, so he's long since been buried underground now.
Caitlin nodded.
Cynthia, however, was pensive. Mr. Mammon's knowledge indeed seemed very vast.
"Speaking of which, how about we use this place to draw Cyrus out?"
Mr. Mammon suddenly thought of something and asked Caitlin and Cynthia.
"You mean?"
Cynthia immediately understood Mr. Mammon's idea.
"Cyrus dreams of finding Dialga and Palkia, and Dialga appeared today. Many people in Michina Town must have seen Dialga's appearance."
Mr. Mammon mused.
"And the life jewel is Arceus's Plates. If we leak this news to Cyrus, he definitely won't be able to sit still."
The life jewel was Arceus's treasure, and Arceus was the 'father' of Dialga and Palkia.
For a fanatic like Cyrus, this news was incredibly tempting.
"Mr. Mammon, we've already promised Sheena not to reveal the whereabouts of the life jewel."
Cynthia's brows furrowed. She didn't object to using Dialga to lure Cyrus over.
But to also reveal the news of the life jewel, wouldn't that be bad?
Even if they captured Cyrus this time, it was inevitable that the information about the life jewel would be spread later by Team Galactic.
In that case, the Michina would not be peaceful.
"It's just for Cyrus. As long as he's not stupid, he won't pass this news to others."
Mr. Mammon replied.
"As long as we can catch Cyrus this time, won't everything be fine?"
Mr. Mammon wasn't worried about this. Such important news as the life jewel, Cyrus, wouldn't give to others.
At most, he would tell his subordinates, and if they wiped out Team Galactic led by Cyrus this time, wouldn't that be enough?
"But how will you accurately notify Cyrus?" Cynthia looked at Mr. Mammon in confusion.
Mr. Mammon couldn't possibly have Cyrus's contact information; otherwise, he would have probably gone to trouble Cyrus long ago.
"Of course I do, but for now, this matter still needs to be discussed with Sheena."
Mr. Mammon grinned. He indeed didn't have Cyrus's contact information, but someone definitely did!
Then, after dinner, Mr. Mammon told Sheena his plan.
"No problem! If it's to eliminate an Evil Organization, it's fine!"
Sheena was clearly a righteous girl as well, and she responded with a serious expression.
Isn't it just using the Life Jewel and Dialga to catch a fish? It's fine, and she also trusted Cynthia and Mr. Mammon.
"As expected of Miss Sheena." Mr. Mammon gave Sheena a thumbs-up.
Sheena's smile was very infectious.
"This is also contributing to the Sinnoh region! I will hide the life jewel well, and I've already asked a craftsman to make a fake one."
Sheena had clearly learned from experience. She planned to hide the life jewel in a place only she knew, and then prepare a fake one.
"By the way, Mr. Mammon, do I need to summon Dialga again to help film a video or something? Wouldn't that make it more authentic?"
Sheena thought for a moment and suggested this to Mr. Mammon.
No, would Dialga agree?
Cynthia was shocked. What the hell, asking Dialga to film a short video.
"Would Dialga be willing?"
Mr. Mammon asked Cynthia's question.
"Emmm… If I have an urgent matter and ask Dialga for help, it generally won't refuse. Palkia, on the other hand, is often unreachable."
Sheena tilted her head and thought. So, in reality, she also preferred Dialga more.
Well, she herself preferred diamonds more, like pearls generally.
And it was Dialga that responded to her more often, not Palkia.
"If it's a posed shot, Dialga definitely won't cooperate. It would think it's too childish."
"But we can create a small incident, and then I'll ask Dialga to help."
Sheena's eyes brightened slightly as she told Mr. Mammon and the other two her plan.
Find a young man who is good at swimming, then have him pretend to drown in the lake of Micina Great Mountain. At that time, Sheena would contact Dialga and ask it to come out and save him.
"Is this… right?"
Cynthia was shocked after hearing the whole thing.
"Yes, absolutely right."
Mr. Mammon's lips curled up high. Now, they just had to wait for Cyrus to take the bait.
…
Meanwhile, on a mountain peak.
"Boss, the Adamant Orb has been obtained."
A rather deep voice came through the phone, reaching Cyrus's ears.
"Well done. Next, continue to search for the Lustrous Orb," Cyrus said indifferently.
"Yes, but Boss, Mount Stark…" Pluto's voice carried a hint of hesitation.
"Pluto, once the new world is completed, you will have everything you desire."
Cyrus's tone remained very calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
He knew Pluto was hinting at him, asking him to send Commander Mars to help Pluto complete the Mount Stark plan first.
But what was the use of just one Heatran?
Once the plan was completed, they could control Dialga and Palkia!
"Yes…"
The call ended. On the other side, in the base, Pluto's face instantly became incredibly grim.
New world? What new world!
Pluto cursed inwardly, thinking Cyrus was crazy.
Pluto's expression was uncertain. Although he was an executive of Team Galactic, he had always been skeptical of Cyrus's new world plan.
Pluto looked down at the Adamant Orb in his hand, which resembled a diamond. This was the treasure of the mythical Pokémon Dialga!
According to Cyrus, as long as they found the other Lustrous Orb, they could summon Dialga and Palkia at Spear Pillar.
And Commander Mars was said to have already captured Uxie at Lake Acuity. The Red Chain, extracted from the power of the three Lake Guardians, could trap and control Dialga and the others.
He didn't know if it was true or not.
And on Cyrus's side.
His phone rang again. Cyrus glanced at it and answered.
"Boss, this is Sird."
"I know. Speak."
Cyrus said calmly.
"Today, through my access, I learned that Mr. Mammon has a new movement here in Sinnoh."
Sird's voice was quite low, as if he was afraid of others hearing.
"Continue."
Cyrus remained just as calm.
"Dialga appeared in Michina Town."
"What did you say?"
Cyrus finally reacted, his brows immediately furrowing. Dialga appeared?
"There's no mistake. Mr. Mammon posted a video of Dialga in the executive group, and he also received news that the life jewel appeared at the Michina."
"What is the life jewel?"
Cyrus was puzzled. He had never heard of the life jewel.
Then Sird briefly explained it to Cyrus, and Cyrus naturally understood.
To obtain Dialga and Palkia, he had researched a lot of information about them.
So Cyrus, of course, knew what Arceus was.
Arceus's Plates?
Cyrus's heart stirred. He wondered if he could control Arceus with Arceus's Plates?
If he could control Arceus, the new world he envisioned would surely come!
And the first step was to get the life jewel!
"Very good, Sird, you've rendered a great service this time. When the new world arrives, you will be the greatest contributor!"
Cyrus said indifferently.
"Thank you, Boss." Sird's narrow, cold eyes showed no change, but his tone was much more joyful.
And Cyrus never expected that Sird, who had once been so loyal to him, had now betrayed him.
Then Cyrus looked at the video Sird had sent.
"Commander Mars, immediately gather your forces and come with me to the Michina to get the life jewel."
Cyrus contacted Commander Mars. This time, he would go in person; otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease!
