★★★
Otherwise, how could it, the dignified God of Time, explain and persuade a human so much?
Ryuga raised an eyebrow.
It seemed very difficult to make Dialga relent with just words, and coercion was even more impossible.
Don't think Dialga seems to be no match for Eternatus, but it controls the power of time and can leave the current world and return to another dimension at any time.
Furthermore…
Although the Sinnoh Creation Trio usually have a very bad relationship and often fight over small conflicts.
But on serious matters, the Sinnoh Creation Trio have always been in this together.
If Dialga is pushed too hard, it can completely contact Palkia and Giratina.
At that time, it won't be a fair one-on-one, but rather these three shameless ones ganging up on Eternatus alone.
"Arceus is about to awaken, right?"
After a moment of thought, Ryuga asked Dialga.
Dialga looked at Ryuga in surprise, wondering if he also knew about Arceus?
"Indeed, the fluctuations in the Hall of Origin are growing stronger and stronger. Within two years, Father God will inevitably awaken."
After a moment of silence, Dialga replied in a deep voice, its tone not without worry.
A thousand years ago, Arceus trusted humans immensely, but that trust was met with ruthless attacks and traps, leading to an unprepared Arceus being severely wounded.
And a thousand years later, it goes without saying that Arceus, filled with resentment, would inevitably retaliate against humans.
"Two years, huh… You probably don't have a good solution yet, do you? If I help you deal with Arceus together, can you give me one chance to travel through time?"
Ryuga's eyes flickered slightly as he proposed to Dialga.
However, speaking of it, thinking of the scenes from the original theatrical version, Ryuga's gaze towards Dialga also held a hint of strangeness.
After all, strictly speaking, Dialga is Arceus's child, but the child has grown up~
Hmm, filial piety between father and son, indeed.
"Father God's power is beyond your imagination. Don't be too blind, human."
Dialga couldn't help but laugh.
Did he really think that suppressing it meant he could fight Arceus?
If Arceus were only this powerful, what would the Sinnoh Creation Trio have to worry about?
"No one questions the Creator God's might, but an extra bit of power means an extra chance, right?"
Ryuga shrugged.
Arceus, who could simultaneously and completely dominate the Sinnoh Creation Trio, undoubtedly possessed terrifying strength.
But isn't there still two years? And if it really comes down to it…
"Arceus's resentment comes from humans, so only humans can resolve this resentment. How will you know if you don't try? Besides, you are the God of Time."
"If Arceus completely loses control then, you can send me back to the past to change the original cause and thus resolve the disaster caused by Arceus, what do you think?"
Ryuga said slowly to Dialga with a smile.
That's right, you say it's absolutely impossible to allow any life to travel through time and change history, but what if Arceus cannot be stopped?
The only way is to change the events of a thousand years ago, to resolve the cause of the event from its root, and thereby change the outcome of the event.
Dialga was stunned by the words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It really hadn't thought about it that way.
It sounds like… it might actually work?
Legend has it that in the midst of chaos and intertwined fluctuations, an egg appeared.
This egg hatched into Arceus, who created the universe.
And the fragments from the time of creation formed the Plates, bestowing different powers upon all things.
Afterward, Arceus created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, commanding them to control time, space, and antimatter, respectively.
Arceus also created Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, granting knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all beings who came to the Pokémon world.
Once the Pokémon world was created, possessing both matter and spirit, Arceus then fell into slumber in the Hall of Origin.
This is the legend of the Sinnoh Creation Myth!
Arceus's power transcends all, for it is the origin of this world, this universe, and the sole Supreme Being!
But a thousand years ago, humans exploited Arceus's unreserved trust, setting a trap that severely wounded Arceus.
Dialga, who later learned of this, was utterly bewildered throughout.
These humans actually dared to harm Father God.
Do they truly not know how to spell death?
But regardless, what happened has happened, and the focus should be on how to appease Arceus's wrath!
"Do I really have to use time…?"
Dialga was deeply conflicted.
It understood Arceus's power too well.
Even if five plates were missing, it was no exaggeration to say that it, along with that annoying Palkia and Giratina combined, wouldn't be enough to fight Arceus.
But would returning the plates quell Arceus's anger?
That was clearly unlikely.
Although Arceus was the God of Creation, Dialga understood Arceus's nature.
Arceus, caught between good and evil, had no clear alignment.
It was the ultimate good, bright and gentle, praised by all, yet it was also the ultimate evil, dark and cold, inspiring fear.
But could it just stand by and watch Arceus retaliate against this world?
Dialga couldn't do it.
"This is just a last resort. If there are other ways to resolve Arceus's anger, then of course, this won't be necessary."
Seeing Dialga's silence, Ryuga understood what it was thinking and said with a smile.
"I have to say, human, you are very clever."
Dialga's dragon eyes flickered constantly upon hearing this, then it raised its head and took a deep look at Ryuga, saying faintly.
Yes, traveling back in time to change causality indeed had a high probability of stopping the disaster brought by Arceus.
But…
It had just said that it would never allow any life to touch the taboo of time!
Was it, the Time Dragon Dialga, not supposed to have any dignity?
"If… if this method can truly succeed, I can give you a chance."
After a moment of hesitation, Dialga tried its best to keep its telepathic voice calm, speaking softly.
Although it seemed to lose face, compared to the Arceus incident, these were minor issues!
If returning the plates was useless, were they really expected, the Sinnoh Creation Trio, to go up against Arceus, enduring Judgment, to stop it?
They would probably get their heads smashed in.
Time travel was a backup plan, but it was the most important one.
In a situation where there were no other options, this was the only way.
"Of course, but I still hope that it won't be necessary, after all, changing history could very likely affect the present." Ryuga's lips curved into a wide smile.
As expected, if there was an example, Dialga's attitude wouldn't be so rigid.
So Ryuga, in a good mood, emphasized the importance of time.
"It's best if you understand."
Dialga's eyelids twitched slightly.
For some reason, it always felt that Ryuga's words sounded a bit harsh.
This was clearly what it should be saying, right?
"Tell me your name, human."
But soon, Dialga cast aside this strange emotion, raising its dragon head, its telepathic voice full of vigor.
With a solution to the Arceus disaster, Dialga felt its entire being lighten considerably, and its spirit was refreshed!
Hmm, it didn't even feel the pain of being beaten just now!
"Ryuga ~ It's an honor to meet you today, Dialga."
Ryuga said softly to Dialga with a proper smile.
He understood that Dialga was acknowledging his existence.
To be recognized by the dragon that controlled time was also an honor for a human.
"Indeed, you have an energy within you that makes me very comfortable. Then, until next time."
Dialga glowed with a beautiful blue divine light, and a streak of blue light emanated from Dialga and entered Ryuga's body.
At the same time, a time vortex appeared behind it.
With that, Dialga turned and directly disappeared into the time vortex, returning to its own alternate dimension.
"What a good dragon, but it's a pity~"
Feeling an extra surge of energy in his body, Ryuga raised an eyebrow.
This was Dialga's energy.
Through this energy, Ryuga could also communicate with Dialga.
However, this was only one-sided communication.
Whether Dialga was willing to respond to Ryuga depended on Dialga's choice.
The Time Dragon, truly a fascinating and coveted legendary.
But it was a pity that it couldn't become a companion.
Ryuga shook his head.
It wasn't that he wasn't willing to try to invite Dialga, but that Dialga simply couldn't agree to him.
The Sinnoh Creation Trio and the legends from other regions were fundamentally different.
They were true gods.
Maintaining the balance of time, space, and the Distortion World, their responsibilities were too heavy.
As Dialga said, it protected the balance of the entire world.
Was it possible for Dialga to abandon its duty of maintaining time and go on an adventure with him?
So Ryuga, knowing the outcome, even though he was extremely fond of dragons, never set his sights on Dialga from the beginning.
Of course, building a good relationship with Dialga was also a good thing.
Who knows, maybe one day he could call Dialga out to help him out, right?
"Come back, Eternatus, you've really helped me a lot today."
Coming back to his senses, Ryuga took out a Heavy Ball and smiled at Eternatus behind him.
Thanks to Eternatus, if it hadn't overpowered Dialga, how could Ryuga and Dialga have had their subsequent conversation?
Ultimately, in the eyes of legends like Dialga, who had lived since the dawn of creation, unless they had experienced special events, only beings of the same level could converse with them normally.
Eternatus shook its head, indicating it was fine, and voluntarily returned to the Heavy Ball.
"It seems… this is Eternatus's first 'victory,' isn't it?"
Looking at the Heavy Ball in his hand, a rude thought crossed Ryuga's mind, and he muttered softly.
It arrived on this planet twenty thousand years ago, remained in a state of slumber, awoke three thousand years ago, and was then defeated by Zacian and Zamazenta.
It awoke in Hammerlocke a few days ago and was almost defeated by Zacian again.
Its battle with Ice Rider Calyrex in the Crown Tundra was interrupted.
Come to think of it, today really seems to be Eternatus's first victory?
Eternatus: "…"
Can you say something human?
"Dialga left?"
In front of the Michina Ruins, Sheena and the others, watching from afar, saw Dialga enter the time vortex and exchanged glances.
The distance was a bit too far, so they naturally didn't know what Ryuga and Dialga had said.
"Cynthia?"
Caitlin walked to Cynthia's side and called out to Cynthia.
She wanted to know Cynthia's thoughts.
After all, it seemed Dialga had slipped away, and the fake Jewel of Life had already shattered.
So what about Ryuga?
Ryuga was a Team Rocket member.
Logically, as the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia had no reason to ignore Ryuga now.
But…
With that Eternatus, how was Cynthia supposed to deal with him?
"Let's wait and see."
Cynthia's delicate brows furrowed.
It was indeed difficult to handle, as Eternatus's power had been fully displayed in its battle with Dialga.
Every Champion was a genius, possessing their own invincible strong belief and will.
But an invincible will was only relative.
A calm and rational strong person like Cynthia naturally enjoyed challenging difficulties and obstacles.
But that didn't mean Cynthia was ignorant, after all, the gap was too big.
That wasn't fearlessness, that was stupidity!
But then, Cynthia seemed to remember something and turned her head to look.
"They didn't run?"
Cynthia looked at Team Galactic, especially Cyrus, huddled in the Michina Ruins, somewhat surprised.
Just now, their minds were almost entirely drawn to the battle between Eternatus and Dialga, and they had no time to spare for Team Galactic.
These guys actually didn't take the opportunity to escape.
"Boss…"
Mars looked at the silent Cyrus, on the verge of tears.
Now, they couldn't even run if they wanted to…
She didn't know what was wrong with their normally shrewd and wise boss.
He had been in a daze for a long time.
"Woo~"
With a pleasant low hum, Dragonair descended from the sky.
Ryuga leaped off Dragonair, his gaze sweeping around before finally landing on Sheena.
Sheena felt Ryuga's gaze and pressed her lips together nervously.
To be honest, her feelings for Ryuga were very complex, but she had to admit that after witnessing Eternatus's terrifying power firsthand, she now felt more fear and nervousness when facing Ryuga.
"Relax, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
Noticing Sheena's emotions, Ryuga chuckled softly and said slowly.
Sheena: "…"
Upon hearing this, Cynthia and the others were fine, but Marnie, without giving any face, rolled her pretty eyes.
You are indeed not a bad person.
Calling you a bad person would be praising you.
"I just talked to Dialga. When Arceus descends, I will also come to help you."
Ignoring the strange looks from around him, Ryuga said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Sheena was stunned, truly stunned, upon hearing this.
Thinking back now, from their first meeting until now, Ryuga, in her impression, was a very sharp-tongued and arrogant person.
Let alone her, even Team Galactic's leader, Cyrus, was ridiculed by Ryuga to no end.
But Ryuga was indeed strong!
Even Dialga was taken down by that seemingly evil Eternatus… cough cough, suppressed.
My apologies, my apologies, Dialga, please forgive my slip of the tongue.
Sheena kept muttering to herself.
"Really?"
Coming back to her senses, Sheena's eyes instantly lit up.
Could an enemy turning into an ally really be happening to her?
If Ryuga could become a friend, even if he was sharp-tongued, arrogant, and rude… a friend that strong would be so reliable!
"Of course, but you have to give me the Jewel of Life for safekeeping."
Ryuga's lips curved slightly upwards. He didn't stand on ceremony and directly spoke to Sheena.
"But the Jewel of Life…"
Sheena's brows furrowed instantly.
Not to mention the Jewel of Life was too important, its whereabouts were currently unknown.
After getting confirmation from Ryuga, she had just used her Aura to communicate with Dialga, and Dialga had indeed confirmed Ryuga.
"The real Jewel of Life is in the temple. Didn't Dialga tell you?"
Ryuga looked at Sheena strangely.
Just before Dialga left, it told him that the real Jewel of Life was inside the temple.
The Jewel of Life was originally formed from Arceus's plates, and Dialga would not mistake the aura of the plates.
"Heh heh…"
Sheena let out a dry laugh upon hearing this.
So, in Dialga's eyes, she, the Aura descendant, was already less approachable than this Team Rocket jerk in front of her?
Why?
"Gather some trusted people and search the temple. The Jewel of Life cannot be kept with you. With your strength, you simply cannot protect it."
Ryuga spoke decisively, his very firm attitude and natural tone making Sheena's eyelids twitch involuntarily.
What was with this sense of him being in charge?
"Oh…"
But Sheena responded spinelessly and with a hint of grievance.
No choice.
Although this guy in front of her was a member of Team Rocket, his strength was genuinely formidable.
"Is being strong such a big deal?!"
No matter what, Ryuga's words were a bit hurtful.
Sheena felt very indignant.
But it was undeniable that she was indeed a novice…
This Team Galactic incident was already a warning.
She and Kevin simply couldn't protect the Jewel of Life when facing invading enemies.
In that case, it would be better to hand the Jewel of Life over to Ryuga.
At least this person in front of her had already gained Dialga's approval, which meant he was indeed trustworthy.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Cynthia, I am truly grateful for your help this time. If it weren't for you today, I really can't imagine what would have happened."
As if remembering something, Sheena quickly turned and bowed deeply to Cynthia in gratitude.
She had been saved twice by Cynthia today.
Now that everything was over, it was time to properly thank Cynthia.
"You're too kind, it was just a small matter, but…"
Cynthia helped Sheena up and said softly with a smile, then her eyes turned to Ryuga.
What a troublesome man.
