The Pokémon world never lacks beautiful women.
After all, the environment in this world is exceptionally good, and since the Pokémon League unified, the world has been very peaceful, at least on the surface.
In the eyes of the public, evil is very rare.
And the people of this world are much more harmonious compared to the people of the Earth, Ryuga's previous life.
Otherwise, would parents feel at ease letting sixteen-year-old boys and girls travel all over the world on their own?
Ambition and evil, when compared to the total population of the world, are ultimately a minority.
A relatively superior living environment and an easily satisfied mindset have led to increasingly better daily lives for people, and as a result, the physiques and appearances of young boys and girls naturally become more superior.
Moreover...
Ultimately, the Pokémon world is a semi-supernatural world, and the average physical and genetic makeup of its people is generally incomparable to that of Earth inhabitants.
But even so, figures and beauties like Cynthia and Caitlin are extremely rare.
"Are you two also here to explore the Michina Ruins?"
Walking in front of Ryuga and Marnie, Cynthia brushed aside her bangs and greeted them with a graceful smile.
"Yes, we also wanted to personally see Michina Town, the quite famous ruins in Sinnoh."
Ryuga gave an elegant bow to Cynthia and Caitlin.
"And I really didn't expect to encounter Champion Cynthia."
Yes, Cynthia is now the Sinnoh Champion.
She won the Lily of the Valley Conference at the end of last year, then challenged the Elite Four and the Elite Four Champion, successfully reaching the top.
Moreover, she is the first female regional Champion since the establishment of the current Pokémon League!
By her own strength, she surpassed all Trainers in Sinnoh, and Cynthia's stern and dominant presence in battle successfully captivated Sinnoh.
It can be said that although Cynthia is a newly appointed Champion, among all regional Champions, Cynthia's popularity is definitely among the top.
The Pokémon League's first female Champion, coupled with her exceptional beauty, it would be strange if Cynthia's popularity wasn't high.
"Sinnoh Champion?"
Marnie was startled by the remark, looking at the elegant and classical Cynthia with surprise.
She didn't pay much attention to matters in other regions, so she really hadn't recognized Cynthia.
"It's evident that you, sir, are very knowledgeable about the Michina Ruins."
Cynthia smiled reservedly, her eyes flickering slightly as she slowly spoke to Ryuga.
"I am very fond of various ancient ruins, myths, and history, so I probably know more than the average person."
Ryuga said with a faint smile, his confident demeanor shining through.
He wasn't exaggerating.
Combining games, anime, and special chapters from his previous life, plus the various myths, histories, and archaeological data from different regions he had collected in this life, he truly knew a great deal.
After all, Ryuga used to have a very good habit: he liked to read.
"You are no ordinary person, sir."
Looking at Ryuga's handsome and confident face, Cynthia's eyes flickered slightly.
Indeed, he was not an ordinary person.
His impressive demeanor combined with that strong, inherent confidence suggested he was likely not a simple individual.
Moreover, as a strong person, Cynthia's intuition told her that the Trainer strength of this young man in front of her was definitely not weak.
Although this was merely a vague intuition, without any evidence, Cynthia still had some trust in her sixth sense.
"Champion Cynthia, why are you here? This place is not close to Lily of the Valley Island."
Ryuga smiled and didn't respond directly, instead asking Cynthia with considerable curiosity.
Cynthia was born in Celestic Town, the oldest town in the Sinnoh region, and her grandmother was an elder of Celestic Town.
It could be said that while Cynthia's family background might not be comparable to top-tier aristocratic families, it was certainly not ordinary.
Born and raised in Celestic Town, Cynthia might have been influenced by her upbringing, becoming particularly interested in myths and history, which also cultivated her usual classical and elegant demeanor.
Cynthia is easy to get along with and approachable, but when she is in battle, Cynthia is stern and dominant, almost like two completely different people.
It's quite normal for Cynthia, who is interested in ruins and myths, to come to Michina Town, but Cynthia has only recently taken office!
The Pokémon League has a lot of matters waiting for Cynthia to familiarize herself with and resolve.
Moreover...
Although Caitlin is a very powerful Psychic, her own physique is quite frail.
Would she follow Cynthia all the way out here for archaeology?
It's not that Ryuga looks down on Caitlin.
With her delicate frame, he could take down three of her with one punch.
"This is my good friend Caitlin. Since she's about to leave Sinnoh, I'm taking her for one last tour together."
Cynthia introduced Caitlin, who was a step behind her, to Ryuga.
Caitlin's exquisite face held a beautiful, faint smile as she nodded to Ryuga and Marnie, greeting them and expressing her goodwill.
"Hello, I am Ryuga from the Kanto region, and this is my companion Marnie from the Galar region. Miss Caitlin is truly beautiful."
Ryuga smiled and briefly introduced himself and Marnie, then looked at Caitlin and sincerely praised her.
Perhaps Caitlin and Cynthia were equally beautiful, but upon first meeting, Caitlin's striking impression was truly deeper compared to Cynthia.
The elegance and nobility that emanated from her every gesture, coupled with her fair and incredibly delicate face, would likely make most people too self-conscious to even look directly at Caitlin.
"Thank you for your compliment."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Caitlin's lips remained unchanged.
She lifted her skirt slightly and curtsied perfectly, performing a flawless noble etiquette.
Her pleasant, unhurried voice was very comforting.
"It seems she hasn't left for Unova yet."
Ryuga nodded in response, but in his heart, he had already roughly understood Caitlin's situation.
He had always kept an eye on changes in the Elite and Champion personnel in major regions.
Last year, the Unova region's Elite did not change, and Caitlin had not yet taken office, meaning she had only just made up her mind to change herself and was preparing to travel alone to other regions for training.
...
Caitlin is someone who could be said to have been kissed by Lady Luck.
Born into a prominent family in Sinnoh, her family background was extremely privileged, and she was also a very special Psychic.
Yes, Caitlin was different from a young age because she was born with incredibly powerful Psychic abilities!
Talent, aptitude, family background, beauty—it could be said that Caitlin was born standing on the shoulders of giants, surpassing ninety-nine percent of the people in this world.
However, even such a person also had her own misfortunes.
Before becoming an Elite in Unova, Caitlin was the owner of the Battle Castle in the Sinnoh region and one of the Frontier Brains of the Battle Frontier.
However, she would not personally battle challengers.
Instead, she would have her butler, Darach, fight in her place.
Because she couldn't perfectly control her Psychic powers, if she lost a battle, her emotions would destabilize, causing her Psychic abilities to surge uncontrollably, overwhelming her opponents and surroundings.
No one knew whether the Psychic powers bestowed upon her by the nature were a blessing or a curse for her at that time.
In the original work, after her ability to control her Psychic powers improved, Caitlin left the Battle Castle and went to the Unova region alone for training to test her own strength, eventually becoming one of the Unova Elite Four in a short period of time!
"That's quite interesting."
Thinking of this, Ryuga glanced at Caitlin, who had a faint, polite smile, the Sleeping Beauty of the future.
Perhaps something could be arranged for her?
After all, Caitlin's talent was indeed extremely outstanding.
Although she had never beaten her good sister, Cynthia, if she could defeat Cynthia, would Caitlin still only be an Unova Elite Four?
She would have pulled Alder down long ago.
Cynthia is absolutely among those standing at the world's peak.
There is no doubt about that.
However, recruiting Caitlin depends on opportunity.
It cannot be forced.
Besides, his visit to Michina Town, strictly speaking, was not a courtesy call.
"Ryuga, since we've met, let's visit the Michina Ruins together."
Not noticing Ryuga's unusual expression, Cynthia smiled lightly and invited him.
Caitlin was about to embark on a journey for training, and as her sister, she could only offer her blessings.
That's why she invited Caitlin to see the scenic Michina Ruins.
After all, Caitlin rarely went out in the past due to her Psychic powers.
"It is our honor to accompany the two of you."
Ryuga bowed quite gentlemanly and did not refuse, as their destination was the same.
...
The Michina Ruins, an Ancient Temple that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Although called Michina Ruins, this Michina Ruins actually has owners, and the current guardians of the Michina Ruins are Sheena and Kevin.
The Michina Ruins are located at the top of Michina Mountain, and the exterior of the Michina Ruins is completely different from modern architecture, filled with an ancient aura.
But it is not dilapidated, after all, it has owners, and it is occasionally repaired.
"Welcome, everyone, Champion Cynthia, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon."
Sheena, dressed in white and blue attire, smiled as she walked out of the Ancient Temple.
With a delicate face, her yellowish-brown hair was tied into two buns, with white shorts below and black tights wrapped around her legs.
She looked very youthful and beautiful.
From her appearance alone, it was hard to imagine that she was a guardian of the Michina Ruins.
Behind Sheena was another guardian, the young man Kevin.
"It is us who are intruding. We will trouble you today, Sheena."
Cynthia returned the smile.
Having a great fondness for myths and history, she had met Sheena during her travels in Sinnoh.
"You're welcome. It is our honor for Michina Town to receive the visit of the Sinnoh Champion."
Sheena smiled and stepped aside, making a gesture for Cynthia and the others to enter.
"Aura."
Ryuga glanced at Sheena.
With his Dragon Force, he could feel Sheena's special nature.
That was Aura!
The ability to communicate telepathically with Pokémon, and even to soothe the anger within a legend!
In the past, many people actually thought Cynthia possessed Aura, but in reality, Cynthia has no relation to Aura whatsoever.
Cynthia was born in Celestic Town, and she herself has no special abilities.
The Champions of various regions, excluding Lance, who possesses Viridian Power in the special chapter, and Wallace, who is the Gym leader of Sootopolis Gym, are actually ordinary people, merely possessing outstanding talent and will.
Currently, the primary known Aura user tied to Michina's legend is Sheena, the guardian of the Michina Ruins, who inherited it from her ancestors.
Everyone entered the Ancient Temple, and Sheena and Kevin enthusiastically introduced everything inside the Ancient Temple.
This Ancient Temple has been passed down for over a thousand years, inheriting too much history, especially since this Ancient Temple itself is extraordinary.
Soon it was lunchtime, Kevin led the others to continue admiring the Michina Ruins, while Sheena walked aside to order food from a restaurant in the town.
Ryuga glanced at Cynthia and the others, who were engrossed in front, and a slight smile curled at the corner of his lips as he stepped back and came to Sheena's side.
"I never expected that the descendants once favored by the gods would live such ordinary lives. It's truly rare that your Aura is still so excellent."
Ryuga looked at Sheena, who had hung up the phone, and said with a light chuckle.
A sudden voice from behind startled Sheena, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Ryuga.
"Phew~ Ryuga, it's very rude for you to appear so suddenly."
Sheena gently patted her chest, unable to help but complain.
When caught off guard, scaring someone is actually quite terrifying.
Those who have experienced it should understand.
"My apologies then, I thought Miss Sheena would be able to sense it."
Ryuga shrugged without sincerity, looking at Sheena's delicate face, a smile slowly spread across his lips.
"Aura is just communicating telepathically with Pokémon. It's not the strange ability you imagine, Ryuga."
Sheena said exasperatedly.
Her possession of Aura was no secret, and she had never hidden it from outsiders.
After all, although ability users are rare in this world, that doesn't mean ability users have to hide.
"The ability to communicate with a legend, I don't think it's as simple as Miss Sheena says."
"But I really didn't expect that as a descendant of this generation's Aura, Miss Sheena would be so timid. Will you be scared and hide when Arceus descends?"
Ryuga's smile deepened, he tilted his head slightly, looked directly into Sheena's eyes, and slowly spoke, full of teasing.
However, Sheena's expression changed instantly.
How could he know about Arceus's descent?
"How could you..."
Sheena's clear eyes widened slightly, looking at Ryuga in surprise.
How could that be?
The matter of Arceus descending again was an absolute secret of their guardian Family, and Sheena had never told anyone.
And Kevin was also very aware of the seriousness of the matter and would not spread it, because revealing this matter now would actually have no impact on the outcome.
Instead, it would cause great panic.
Because... Arceus's descent is to unleash its anger, which means the destruction of the world!
"Perhaps many people wouldn't have thought? The god, out of pity for the barren land, mercifully lent its source of life to humans, but humans greedily wanted to possess the source of life for themselves."
"Even more, they used the god's trust to set a trap, severely injuring the god."
Ryuga's lips curled into a deep malicious smile, looking at Sheena's increasingly pale face, his low voice filled with sarcasm.
Sheena is the descendant of this generation's Aura, and her ancestor is Damos!
