"It seems I've been chosen too."
Although he had labeled Reshiram as a 'scummy dragon' in his heart, Ryuga understood that this was nothing strange.
Currently, Hilda was chosen by Reshiram, but ultimately, Reshiram obviously hadn't fully recognized Hilda, otherwise Reshiram would already be with Hilda now.
To put it another way, Hilda is currently a 'Truth Hero reserve'.
And Ryuga, who entered Dragonspiral Tower, is now also in this category.
Ryuga's lips curved slightly, and he was already thinking about how to answer Reshiram's question.
As for the thought he just had, like 'trash Reshiram, I don't want it anyway,' Ryuga stated that he had already forgotten it.
Yes, it's that real.
A living, breathing Reshiram is in front of you, and you don't want it?
Then your head must have been squeezed by a door!
In any case, Reshiram is a High-Tier legendary.
Perhaps its strength cannot compare to top legendaries like Rayquaza, Kyurem, or Zacian.
But Reshiram is still a High-Tier legendary!
And it's a High-Tier legendary that you have a chance to obtain without much effort!
Isn't that great?
Strictly speaking, Reshiram and the Black Dragon are inherently the easiest legends to obtain, but in a sense, they are also the most difficult.
Because to gain their recognition, your definitions of Ideal and Truth must resonate with them.
And now Reshiram has actively communicated with Ryuga, which indicates that it has sensed a strong Truth within Ryuga.
"Tell me, what is your Truth?"
And it was at this moment that Reshiram's ethereal telepathy once again echoed in Ryuga's mind.
"My Truth, you ask…"
Ryuga couldn't help but ponder upon hearing this.
What was his Truth?
Truth is different from Ideal.
Everyone has an Ideal. Ryuga doesn't have a grand Ideal, but he personally has a goal that he doesn't know if it belongs to an Ideal, which is to reach the pinnacle of a Trainer.
So, in fact, when he learned at Dragonspiral Tower that N took away the Ideal Black Dragon, Ryuga was actually relieved.
Because Ryuga also understood that his Ideal would be very difficult to gain the Black Dragon's recognition.
The Ideal of becoming the strongest...
There are truly too many people in the world who possess it.
It's just that the intensity of their will differs.
But Truth is different from Ideal.
Truth is one's true self-perception, one's attitude towards the world, and seeing the essence of the world.
See yourself clearly, see the world clearly, and then pursue all Truth!
"I don't know what others' Truth is, but to me, the essence of Truth is reality, and reality is incredibly cruel."
"The Truth I want to pursue is power. With power, I can do whatever I want. With power, I can overcome all obstacles."
"There is never equality in this world. Ideal is inherently an art piece people use to hypnotize themselves. Cruel reality is the essence of the world."
Ryuga replied to Reshiram in his heart with a deep voice.
That's right, this is how he saw the world.
What does the Pokémon League rely on to stand above all other forces?
The accumulated heritage over a long period, the Elite Four of each region, and the vast Jenny & Joy family.
And this is inherently a kind of alternative deterrence.
The Pokémon League is beautiful.
Perhaps most people in the world think so.
But the reality is that the Pokémon League stands firm by relying on absolute military deterrence.
"What I want to pursue is true freedom to do as I please. I want to stand at the top!"
Ideal and dream, these are everyone's dreams!
It is precisely because of dreams that the world can become better, but dreams are always just dreams.
Truth is the essence of the world.
It is truly too difficult for Ideal to cross over Truth, but precisely because of this, that is what makes it an Ideal.
But what Ryuga has always pursued is Truth.
He understood from a young age that things like Ideal are sometimes too fragile.
Everyone has a childhood, everyone has had dreams, but after growing up, how many people can truly realize their dreams?
In the end, they will only be defeated by the Truth and cruelty of the world.
And upon hearing Ryuga's answer, Reshiram's voice fell silent and did not sound again.
"No recognition?"
After waiting for a while, still receiving no response, Ryuga frowned slightly, feeling quite regretful in his heart.
It seemed that Reshiram did not agree with his philosophy.
This is also good.
Reshiram and the Ice Dragon were already at odds.
If he obtained Reshiram, it would be much more difficult for Ryuga to pursue the Ice Dragon again.
Without Reshiram, it would be easier to gain the Ice Dragon's recognition.
Hmm, trash Reshiram, I don't want it anyway!
So real!
Ryuga, who was not recognized by Reshiram, only felt regret in his heart.
Anyway, it's my luck if I get it, my fate if I lose it.
Ryuga had always been very open-minded about this, just as he was when he was rejected by Ice Rider Calyrex.
"Ryuga?"
Putting his thoughts aside, Ryuga came back to his senses and found that Marnie and the other two girls were looking at him strangely.
"What were you thinking about just now to be so engrossed? You've been in a daze for a while."
Marnie looked at Ryuga suspiciously and asked.
She had never seen Ryuga like this before.
This was truly too strange.
"Nothing, I just feel it's a pity."
Ryuga chuckled softly and didn't elaborate on what had just happened to him.
A pity?
Upon hearing this, Marnie and the two girls were all stunned.
Nothing seemed to have happened just now, or was he thinking of something from the past and regretting it?
Ignoring the expressions of the three, Ryuga turned his gaze to Hilda.
At this moment, this girl was also looking at him strangely, with a hint of concern for Ryuga in her eyes.
She was indeed a very kind girl, showing goodwill even to people she had just met.
"Hilda."
"Huh? What's wrong, Ryuga?"
Hilda blinked upon hearing this, not knowing what Ryuga wanted to say.
"What is your Truth?"
"Truth?" Hilda tilted her small head, a look of confusion on her face.
She was a youthful and innocent girl to begin with, and she had only been traveling for less than a year, so she really had no concept of something like Truth.
And this question...
Why did it feel so familiar?
"It's your perception of life." Ryuga explained patiently to Hilda in a more common way.
"Hmm… I feel like life is pretty good right now. Everyone is very nice, it's just that some evil organizations are so annoying. It would be even better if they didn't exist in the world."
Hilda blinked.
Although she didn't understand why Ryuga asked her, she thought carefully and still spoke her mind.
Ryuga: "…"
He was inexplicably caught in the crossfire.
However, with that said, Ryuga also understood that Hilda felt the current world was beautiful and peaceful, and she wanted to maintain the life she had in her heart.
It was a very simple and pure perception, but the current Hilda was indeed not some great person.
She was just an ordinary Trainer from Nuvema Town who hadn't been traveling for a particularly long time.
It's just that her mind is pure, and her goals are clear and simple.
But at that moment, a strong tremor suddenly spread throughout Dragonspiral Tower.
"What's going on? Is this an Earthquake?"
Blue struggled to maintain balance, looking around in surprise and asking.
This violent tremor came too suddenly.
"Let's get out of the tower first. It's too dangerous in here."
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the constantly falling stone dust around him, and said to the three girls.
This tower was too old.
Under such a strong tremor, who knew if it would collapse.
The three girls naturally agreed, and the four rushed towards the exit at the bottom of the tower.
Before long, the group ran out of the tower's exit, retreating a distance to gaze at the entire trembling Dragonspiral Tower.
"That's strange, we didn't do anything, did we? Did we trigger some mechanism?"
Blue looked at Dragonspiral Tower in confusion.
Yes, it wasn't an Earthquake.
Only Dragonspiral Tower was trembling.
Even the ground around the tower was very stable.
"It's not a mechanism. Reshiram is about to appear."
Ryuga glanced at Hilda, shook his head, and said.
This was not due to other reasons.
It was simply that Reshiram was about to revive.
Because Ryuga's Dragon Force could sense that the Dragon Aura within Dragonspiral Tower was rapidly surging.
A very powerful Dragon is about to be born!
"Nani?"
Blue looked at Ryuga in surprise, and Marnie and Hilda had similar expressions.
"I was in a daze just now because Reshiram contacted me. It's looking for the Truth Hero." Ryuga didn't hide anything and explained.
Upon hearing this, the three girls were all stunned.
"And Hilda is the same. You are also one of the humans chosen by Reshiram. The voice you've been hearing every day these past few days is Reshiram's."
Ryuga looked at Hilda, so he still didn't know who Reshiram would choose, because it hadn't given Ryuga a response.
"I…"
Hilda's eyes widened slightly.
No matter what, what Ryuga said was still very impactful to her.
She was almost chosen by Reshiram?
As a native, Hilda had grown up listening to the legends of Reshiram, the Black Dragon, and the heroes.
"Wait… let me process this. So Reshiram is going to choose one of you two to be its Hero partner?"
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming.
Blue looked at Ryuga and Hilda, her eye twitching.
Although she knew Ryuga had already captured Eternatus and that the reason he came to Dragonspiral Tower was for the Dragon God.
But she really hadn't thought the Dragon God would actually choose Ryuga.
And now, two Hero candidates had appeared.
"If we go by the current situation, that should be the case."
Ryuga nodded.
If it hadn't recognized a Hero, Reshiram would have no reason to choose this moment to appear.
Hilda's heart beat a little faster.
She had never thought that Lady Luck would favor her so much.
She had always believed that she was no different from ordinary people.
She just had a bit more talent, but now...
"It should be Ryuga…" Hilda glanced at Ryuga, not feeling very confident in her heart…
However, even if that were the result, Hilda could accept it.
After all, for Reshiram to choose her as a candidate was already enough to prove that Reshiram recognized her excellence!
No problem!
After this, she definitely had to contact Rosa and brag a little!
This girl was also a Hero almost chosen by the Dragon God!
Blue was speechless, what the heck…
Her worldview was about to shatter!
Why?
She really wanted to say, how could Ryuga be associated with lofty, righteous, and honorable terms like Hero?
Just because he's handsome?
A Hero, no matter what, should be on the side of justice, right…
If Reshiram really followed you, wouldn't it go around robbing and setting fires?
Wait a minute, it seems the legendary Reshiram really is a Fire-type?
"They're here."
Ryuga had no idea how rich Blue's inner thoughts were at the moment.
His eyes, which had been fixed on Dragonspiral Tower, suddenly lit up.
Upon hearing this, Marnie and the other two instantly looked up.
The top of Dragonspiral Tower suddenly glowed with a rich red light, emitted by a red stone.
Unlike Eternatus's dark, dangerous crimson, this was a dazzling, fiery scarlet.
Dragon Stone!
This was precisely the Light Stone that Reshiram had transformed into!
The Light Stone's glow grew brighter, and within that scarlet light, under the amazed gazes of Marnie and the others, the Light Stone continuously changed, slowly transforming into a sacred creature.
"Roar~"
A long, melodious dragon's roar echoed through the sky, a pair of pure white wings suddenly spread, and the scarlet flames were instantly pushed away.
A pure white dragon floated with outstretched wings at the top of Dragonspiral Tower.
Its entire body was sacred white, its form a combination of a white bird and a Western dragon, with long, cloud-like fur on its head, and a turbine-like shape at its tail.
It was precisely the legendary Dragon of Truth—Reshiram!
(Pic Here)
"It really is Reshiram! So beautiful!"
Seeing this, the eyes of Marnie and the two other girls instantly lit up.
Reshiram's appearance was truly too beautiful.
Its sacred, divine, and elegant posture was also extremely easy to capture the hearts of girls.
Not to mention the added bonus of Reshiram's legendary status!
"Roar~"
Reshiram heavily spread its white wings, and the dragon's roar sounded again.
Unlike common domineering dragon roars, Reshiram's roar was more melodious and graceful.
If one had to describe it, it was like a princess full of nobility.
A strong gust of wind swept over them.
When Marnie and the two other girls regained their senses, Reshiram had already descended, landing in front of them.
Reshiram, nearly four meters tall, slightly lowered its head, its bright blue dragon eyes gazing at the few people.
No, or rather, gazing at Ryuga.
Ryuga's lips curled slightly, meeting Reshiram's gaze without fear.
The man and the dragon looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Marnie and the two other girls dared not utter a sound.
No matter how beautiful and magnificent Reshiram was, this was a true and real Dragon God!
A legendary Pokémon!
And they could also sense that Reshiram had clearly come for Ryuga.
This made Blue want to complain even more in her heart.
She really couldn't imagine the scene of this beautiful and elegant Reshiram following the wicked Ryuga to wreak havoc…
The sacred white dragon… was it going to be defiled like this?
"Your Truth… I have understood it."
An ethereal voice sounded in everyone's ears without warning, as if it resonated directly in their minds.
"This is… telepathy."
Marnie was stunned, but instantly reacted.
This was telepathy!
Telepathy is communication from mind to mind, with no language barriers.
And clearly, the user of this telepathy was Reshiram.
"You didn't respond to me for a while, I thought you had rejected me."
Ryuga's smile widened as he looked at Reshiram.
Reshiram's words were enough.
"I will do my best to complete it for you, to embody your Truth."
Reshiram slowly approached Ryuga.
It was the Dragon of Truth.
It would seek out the most excellent Truth Hero.
To defeat the Black Dragon and its Ideal Hero!
Meanwhile, in an unknown forest.
A huge castle stood prominently.
In front of the castle, a slender young man was gently feeding the Pokémon in front of him, a tender smile on his lips.
But soon, as if sensing something, the young man stood up and turned to look into the distance—towards Dragonspiral Tower!
The young man's lifeless eyes rippled slightly.
"The Truth Hero… has appeared."
