—------------------—
Veilstone City.
This is a city carved out of steep mountains, and it's also where Team Galactic's headquarters are located.
The Team Galactic Veilstone Building is Team Galactic's headquarters.
"Excellent! It finally succeeded!"
Charon stared fanatically at the red chain in front of him, a scarlet chain glowing with a faint red light.
It was a divine tool crafted from the refined power of the Lake Guardians, said to be able to connect and completely control the Legendary Pokémon that birthed the Sinnoh region.
"Hahahaha~!! With this, I can control 'God'!"
Charon laughed wildly, his face already contorted with ecstasy.
He never imagined that things would progress so easily to this point.
Originally, he wouldn't have dared to dream of such a day, as the New World Plan was conceived and implemented by Cyrus.
Charon had ambition, he always had great ambition; he wanted the whole world to look up to him!
But there was nothing he could do; although he was a genius scientist, he was only a scientist. He didn't have Trainer talent.
It's still the same old saying: not every researcher is as favored by the world as Colress, possessing powerful Trainer strength.
In a real battle, Charon would probably be worse than a bug catcher on the roadside.
But what about that?
It didn't matter if he didn't have Trainer talent. In Charon's opinion, as long as he could obtain the Legendary Pokémon, he could still ascend to the heavens in one step!
By then, the whole world would look up to Charon!
So he had been meticulously pursuing Legendary Pokémon. If there were no conditions, he would create them.
He set his sights on the Legendary Heatran, but it was useless. Heatran's strength was very strong. Although he had created a machine that could control Pokémon, he first had to be able to control Heatran with the machine.
However, neither Commander Mars, Commander Jupiter, nor even Cyrus were willing to help him.
And how could ordinary Team Galactic members get close to Heatran?
But now… they were all gone!
"A bunch of fools, looking down on me, aren't they all just paving the way for me now?"
Charon sneered endlessly. He knew very well that Cyrus and Commander Mars didn't really look up to him, Charon.
If it weren't for needing Charon's technological means, Cyrus wouldn't have bothered with Charon at all. And then what?
"Although I don't know who it was, they really did help me out."
Charon slowly picked up the scarlet red chain, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
How beautiful this luster is~
With this, he could control the two legendary deities who commanded time and space!
By then, he would be the chosen one! He would be the only one!
"And then…"
After savoring the moment for a while, Charon carefully placed the red chain into his backpack and turned around.
In the three containers, three Legendary Pokémon, the Lake Guardians, were imprisoned, each representing 'spirit'.
Having had their power extracted, Uxie and the others were all very weak, lying helplessly in the containers.
"How should I deal with you? It's really a headache."
Charon grinned, admiring the figures of these three Legendary Pokémon.
Now that the red chain had been extracted, these Lake Guardians were naturally useless.
However, unlike Cyrus, Charon felt that these three were not entirely useless; after all, they were Legendary Pokémon.
If they could be used, wouldn't that be great?
"If you are willing to submit to me, I am not unable to take you in. Otherwise…"
Charon's sinister words were not finished, but Uxie and the others naturally understood his meaning.
As three of the 'Six Gods' that existed since the beginning of creation, their wisdom naturally goes without saying.
They were very weak at the moment, but even when treated like this, the eyes of Uxie and the other two looking at Charon showed no anger at all, being unusually calm, or rather, 'pity'.
Pitiful human, devoured by inner desires, what will be the final outcome?
Attempting to control 'God', he will ultimately only bring about his own destruction; there is no second possibility.
The red chain can 'connect' time and space, controlling Dialga and Palkia, that's right, but this control is not permanent.
And Uxie and the others, as 'blood brothers' of Dialga and Palkia in a sense, understood the tempers of those two dragons all too well.
Once the red chain failed, this human would only be torn to shreds by an enraged Dialga and Palkia; there was no second possibility.
Seeing that Uxie and the other two not only didn't beg for mercy but looked at him with such eyes, Charon became enraged out of shame.
"I really hate your eyes."
He really disliked Uxie and their calm expressions; he detested them immensely.
Just as Charon was about to say something more, a Team Galactic member burst through the door in a hurry.
"Didn't I say you weren't allowed to come in without my permission?"
Charon's face instantly turned ugly.
"Lord Charon, something's wrong! We have intruders!"
The Team Galactic member said in a panic.
"What did you say?"
Charon was startled.
"It's Champion Cynthia! They've already broken through to the second floor, and our people can't stop them at all!"
"Quick, get me out of here!"
Charon was shocked, but immediately regained his composure.
Team Galactic, having lost Cyrus, three Commanders, and a large number of Superior members, was already a disorganized mess.
And the only remaining Commander, Charon, had no combat ability whatsoever, let alone against an opponent like Cynthia.
Fight? How to fight?
Even if Cyrus came, he wouldn't be Cynthia's opponent.
"Yes!" The Team Galactic member was still loyal.
"We can't go out the bottom, we'll leave from here."
Charon immediately went to the window and had the Team Galactic member release his Golbat.
"Damn it! But I will definitely return!"
Charon reluctantly glanced back at the three Lake Guardians. Although he really wanted to take them, it was clearly not appropriate now.
If he didn't retreat soon, he might not be able to retreat at all.
It doesn't matter, once I get Dialga and Palkia, this whole world will be mine!
Charon knew his priorities. The red chain was already on him, and the most important thing now was to first obtain the Twin Deities of Time and Space.
Meanwhile, on the second floor.
"I say, why don't you just put down your Poké Balls and surrender? Even your boss Cyrus went mining, and you're still resisting here."
Mammon clicked his tongue, looking at the injured Team Galactic members opposite him, his tone full of mockery.
Cynthia's Garchomp stared fiercely at these few people, making them all tremble with fear.
Too strong!
"Mammon, what should we do with these people?"
Cynthia asked Mammon.
"I've already had Gladion send people to take over."
"Alright."
Cynthia nodded. She had originally thought that if Team Rockets had no personnel in Veilstone City, she would inform the Veilstone City police station.
Otherwise, she couldn't just let these Team Galactic members go, could she?
However, Mammon had clearly considered this point. This was Team Galactic's headquarters, and there were still quite a few Team Galactic members.
These could all be converted into Team Rockets members; they couldn't be wasted.
"Let's go, continue upwards."
Mammon and the two continued to ascend. Although Team Galactic members kept coming to block them, in front of Cynthia's Garchomp, it was a complete and overwhelming crush.
Soon, the three arrived on the fourth floor and found a huge laboratory.
"Oh, oh, oh~ Look what I found?"
Mammon's eyes lit up slightly, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden as he looked at the three Pokémon trapped in the containers.
"The Legendary Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf."
Cynthia quickly recognized these three Pokémon. They were indeed the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh, also known as the Lake Guardians.
"They all look very weak. Team Galactic must have done something to them."
Caitlin's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She could clearly feel that all three Pokémon were in an extremely weakened state.
And Uxie and the other two were also observing Mammon and the two at this moment.
"Let them out first."
Garchomp took a few steps forward, and with a handsome slash of its sharp Dragon Claw, a cold light instantly tore through.
A crack appeared on the surface of the containers trapping Uxie and the others, and then shattered.
"Uxie, are you all right?"
Cynthia stepped forward and sprayed the three Legendary Pokémon with a Super Potion to restore their stamina.
With some stamina recovered, Uxie and the other two finally regained some spirit, and their bodies slowly glowed Green as they floated up.
That's right, Uxie and the others all possess the ability to float, being Psychic-type Pokémon after all.
Uxie, representing 'wisdom', floated in the middle of Mesprit and Azelf. Clearly, Uxie, in the center, was the leader of the Lake Guardians.
"Thank you for rescuing us, human."
Uxie first shook its head at Cynthia, and then a clear, cold telepathic message sounded in the three people's ears.
"You're welcome, I should be the one who's sorry. Those people from Team Galactic… they've truly committed evil."
Cynthia sighed. Seeing Uxie and the others trapped in containers like experimental subjects as soon as she entered, Cynthia's mood was complex.
Uxie and the others were Legendary Pokémon, and they were the Pokémon that bestowed 'spirit' upon the world's creatures.
Legend has it that the Legendary Pokémon of the Lake Legend hatched from an egg and once flew around, granting humanity the 'wisdom' that enriches life, the 'emotions' to feel sorrow and joy, and the 'will' to make up one's mind to do things well.
But now, humans who had received the gifts of the Lake Guardians had captured them, imprisoned them in 'cages' and treated them like experimental subjects.
This truly made Cynthia's emotions incredibly complex and ashamed.
"No need to feel guilty, this is not your fault."
Mesprit, of 'emotion', was extremely sensitive to feelings. Sensing Cynthia's emotions, it tilted its head slightly and spoke with a magnetic, neutral telepathic voice.
"With emotions, those dark desires will arise; this is an inevitable outcome."
Uxie, of 'wisdom', maintained its clear and cold telepathy, seemingly unsurprised by its current predicament, or perhaps, it had long foreseen this day.
"The day Father God created us, I predicted that such an event would occur."
"Humanity's excessive greed will lead them to the abyss; they will suffer the punishment they deserve."
At this point, Uxie's telepathy paused, and its calm gaze turned to Mammon.
"However, where there is intense light, shadows are born. When the two deities are summoned and chains entwine their bodies, He who dwells in the world without heaven and earth will also seize the opportunity to come."
What does that mean?
Upon hearing this, both Cynthia and Caitlin were puzzled by its meaning, but Mammon understood instantly.
"What are you trying to say?" Mammon looked at Uxie with interest.
"The shadow will not give up the opportunity to resist. Father God has not yet awakened; He will only resist the two deities, and we cannot stop Him."
Uxie shook its head.
"You want me to help you deal with Giratina? Do I look like a good person to you?"
Mammon couldn't help but laugh.
"Where there is intense light, shadows are born." The 'shadow' mentioned in this phrase refers to the third dragon of the Origin trio, Giratina.
Because of its violent nature, it was banished by Arceus to the reverse side of the world, a world without heaven and earth, which is the Distortion World.
Giratina, residing in the Distortion World, had always quietly watched the original world.
Most importantly, Giratina's classification in the Pokédex is 'Rebellion' Pokémon!
And this so-called 'rebellion', who is it rebelling against?
