(A/N: Ryuga's dad will be called Draco from now.)
Draco said helplessly.
He didn't know what Ryuga was doing outside, but when Ryuga returned five years ago, he was content knowing that Ryuga was safe.
"Oh?"
Lance's sword-like brows furrowed upon hearing this.
He had only returned to the Dragon Clan once in ten years?
"One night about ten years ago, Ryuga was taken away by a mysterious Pokémon and has been missing ever since. Although I've been searching, there's been no trace of him."
"It wasn't until five years ago, when Ryuga returned once, that I confirmed he was still alive. However, Ryuga said he had important matters to attend to and told us not to worry about him. He only stayed for one night before leaving."
"As of now, I still have no way of contacting him."
Draco said in a low voice.
Ten years ago, Ryuga was reading alone in the backyard.
As a famous large family in Johto, the Dragon Clan's defense work was, of course, extremely thorough.
Moreover, Ryuga had been intelligent since childhood and had awakened Dragon Force naturally.
The Dragon Clan even regarded Ryuga as the hope for their future.
But it was this hope that was abducted!
That Pokémon's speed was simply too fast.
By the time the guards in the backyard noticed something was wrong and rushed over, Ryuga had already disappeared from the backyard.
According to the guards who vaguely saw the mysterious Pokémon, it strongly resembled Ho-Oh, the legend of Kanto!
But why would Ho-Oh abduct Ryuga?
Even now, Draco doesn't understand the reason, and Ryuga never told him.
"I generally understand."
Lance's stern face was deep in thought.
Although he didn't get any particularly useful information, it was clear that the experiences of the past ten years were the biggest reason for Ryuga joining Team Rocket?
The only thing he could confirm was that Ryuga was indeed his cousin, and a true one at that.
"Since I am your cousin, I have the obligation to personally take you down, Ryuga."
Lance's lips slowly curled into a ferocious arc, his stark white teeth chilling to behold.
That was his blood-related cousin!
"My foolish cousin, let your cousin bring your fallen self back into the light from that filthy cesspool!"
Unova Region.
"Have a safe trip~"
"Bye-bye~ Big brother, next time I will definitely avenge my Serperior!"
It was still the main road in Icirrus City.
Hilda smiled and offered her blessings, while Rosa held her arms high, continuously waving goodbye to Ryuga and the other two in the distance.
Her pure face now wore a lovely smile again, clearly, the shadow of Serperior had passed.
"Then you won't have a chance, goodbye."
Ryuga couldn't help but chuckle at this.
This child was truly adorable.
"Nyah nyah nyah~" Rosa pouted unhappily at Ryuga and made a face.
So annoying!
Next time, this girl will definitely win!
Ryuga shook his head, wondering what expression these two girls would have when they found out he was a member of an evil organization.
Ryuga remembered that Hilda had said she really disliked those bad guys and evil organizations.
But who could say for sure about such things?
And it was uncertain if they would even meet again in the future.
After all, Hilda and Rosa were in the Unova Region, which was too far from Kanto.
And Ryuga would absolutely not stay in Unova for long.
His roots were, after all, in Kanto & Johto.
But the future is the future precisely because of its elusive uncertainty.
Who knows if there will be a day when they meet again?
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and a day had gone by.
After accelerating their journey, Ryuga and the other two had now arrived at Lacunosa Town.
This was a rather ordinary town, where people lived peacefully.
"The legend of Lacunosa Town is quite interesting. It's said that they work outside during the day, but as soon as night falls, everyone stays in the town."
"Even the police officers stay in the Pokémon Center."
The three passed through Lacunosa Town. Marnie glanced at Lacunosa Town, recalling some information she had read about it.
It could be said to be a very superstitious town, always adhering to ancient customs and rules in their daily lives.
"Ah? I saw that too. It's because of the past legend of Lacunosa Town, right?"
Blue blinked her eyes and adjusted the shoulder bag she was carrying.
Since Ryuga's destination was Lacunosa Town, she had also looked up some information about Lacunosa Town last night.
"It is said that a long time ago, a meteorite fell from the sky, landing in Giant Chasm and transforming into the terrifying and monstrous Kyurem. Kyurem would appear at night, accompanied by biting cold winds, and abduct people and Pokémon to eat them as food."
"Therefore, the town's residents built high walls and implemented a curfew to defend against Kyurem."
Blue narrated the legend of Lacunosa Town that she had read, but by the end, Blue couldn't help but complain.
"This is too fake, isn't it? Kyurem is the strongest Dragon in Unova's legends. Building some walls can defend against Kyurem? What are they thinking?"
How could a legend be blocked by mere walls?
This legend was clearly false.
Blue, who prided herself on being smart, scoffed at this, refusing to believe or spread rumors!
Rejecting feudalism!
"But since we're here, it means Kyurem should really be near Lacunosa Town, right?"
Then Blue turned her gaze to Ryuga and asked, "Ryuga, this guy who doesn't do anything without benefit, wouldn't possibly travel all the way to Lacunosa Town if there wasn't some advantage."
So that means Kyurem might really reside in the Giant Chasm here?
"That's right, Kyurem is indeed in Giant Chasm."
Ryuga nodded, after all, they would soon reach Giant Chasm.
"However, the rumor about Kyurem eating people and Pokémon should not be true. Kyurem is not something that emerged from a meteorite from space."
Ryuga continued, regarding the rumor about Kyurem eating people and Pokémon, he had always held a negative attitude.
Kyurem is indeed a legend with an extremely violent and tyrannical nature, but as long as one does not actively provoke it, as the strongest Dragon, Kyurem would absolutely not actively attack humans and ordinary Pokémon, who are no different from ants in its eyes.
Moreover, Ryuga was well aware of Kyurem's origin.
"The ancient Dragon God of the Unova Region once split into the Truth and Ideal Twin Dragons due to twins, and the remaining body of the Dragon God transformed into Kyurem."
"There is a saying that Kyurem is waiting for a hero to fill itself with Truth and Ideals."
Ryuga raised an eyebrow here, because he was truly curious whether the Kyurem of this world really needed the DNA Splicers to change its form.
If it really needed the DNA Splicers, then Kyurem's hostility towards Zekrom and Reshiram… that would be more than just a little.
Because only by merging Zekrom and Reshiram into its body could Kyurem fill the void in its body.
And even if it didn't need the DNA Splicers, Kyurem's attitude towards Zekrom and Reshiram would definitely not be good.
As Kyurem, formed from the remnants of the split Dragon God, it inherently had a strong obsession with Zekrom and Reshiram.
"So, if we understand it that way, Kyurem's attitude towards Reshiram and Zekrom is probably very unfriendly."
Blue and Marnie pondered, if what Ryuga said was true, then Kyurem must be extremely covetous of Zekrom and Reshiram.
"Eh? Wait a minute, if that's the case, Ryuga, you've already been recognized by Reshiram, aren't you just delivering yourself?"
But then, Blue suddenly paused, looking at Ryuga in astonishment.
Kyurem is the strongest Dragon, surpassing Zekrom and Reshiram.
Now that Ryuga has become the Truth Hero, he's actively seeking Kyurem?
"That's two different things. I'm from the Dragon Clan, and I can't refuse powerful Dragons. Of course, I have to pursue Kyurem and see." Ryuga's expression remained unchanged.
He, of course, knew what the worst outcome of seeking Kyurem this time would be.
But giving up without even trying, that wasn't Ryuga's style.
"But what if Kyurem doesn't like us?"
Blue's eyes widened.
She knew Ryuga liked Dragons since he was little, but damn it, you like Dragons, you have to consider the situation.
You just got Reshiram and then immediately go look for Kyurem.
If you don't consider Reshiram's feelings, you should at least consider Kyurem's, right?
What's the difference between this and showing up to cause trouble and provoke them?
"No big deal, don't I have you?"
"No way! Absolutely no way! That's Kyurem! What if we get caught in the crossfire?!"
Blue stopped, shaking her head repeatedly, indicating that she was scared.
So you've already prepared for a fight, huh?
That's Kyurem! Even if it doesn't really eat people, its fearsome reputation precedes it. Even if it doesn't eat people, it's definitely a very fierce and terrifying legend.
Otherwise, the legend of Lacunosa Town wouldn't be completely unfounded.
And Kyurem sounds like an Ice-type.
She had already had enough of Lorelei's freezing aura on the S.S. Anne.
What's more, Kyurem's freezing aura, which surpasses Zekrom and Reshiram's?
This girl doesn't want to suffer!
"Blue."
"What do you want?"
"Are you going to follow us yourself, or do I have to personally invite you?"
Blue's body stiffened, then she looked up at the sky with a mournful expression.
Do captives have no human rights?
Ahhh! Damn you, Ryuga!
Blue was frantically 'sweet-talking' in her mind.
"Tch… I'll go, I'm not afraid of anyone!"
Blue pouted, looking like she was about to cry, but her mouth was uttering 'tough words,' following closely behind Ryuga and Marnie.
Boo hoo hoo… I hope I, Little Blue, don't get frozen this time.
An hour later.
Ryuga and the other two finally arrived at Giant Chasm.
"Although the legend of Lacunosa Town says Kyurem resides in Giant Chasm, Giant Chasm is very large, Ryuga, do you have a way to find Kyurem?"
Marnie looked at the huge cave entrance before them, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she tilted her head, asking Ryuga.
Giant Chasm is called a chasm, but in reality, its scope is no different from a mountain range.
It is extremely complex and vast inside.
Finding Kyurem accurately is not a simple task.
This is also why the legend says Kyurem resides in Giant Chasm, yet there have never been any actual reports of seeing Kyurem.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that travelers who ventured into Giant Chasm accidentally had a 'sweet encounter' with Kyurem, and then were frozen by one of Kyurem's sneezes…
After all, like a certain Yveltal who has a huge temper when woken up and goes on a rampage with indiscriminate AoE, Kyurem's reputation is not very good.
"Of course, I have a way."
Ryuga's lips curled slightly.
Dragon Force invisibly overflowed as he searched for the location where the Dragon Force was strongest.
But soon, Ryuga gave up searching and retracted his Dragon Force.
Hmm, within his maximum range, he still couldn't sense Kyurem.
However, no big deal, isn't there still Reshiram?
"Reshiram, wake up, help me sense where Kyurem is."
Ryuga called out in his mind to a certain Reshiram, who was supposedly 'resting and recovering' but was actually taking a beauty nap.
"No problem, sensing Zekrom's location, right… Wait a minute! Kyurem??"
Reshiram, awakened, immediately replied.
It subconsciously thought Ryuga wanted to cause trouble for the Ideal Hero.
But at the very end, Reshiram finally came to its senses, and its ethereal telepathy instantly increased in volume!
Isn't Kyurem freaking Kyurem?
Reshiram was fully awake, and it amplified its senses.
Instantly, within its sensory range, a wild Kyurem shone as brightly as a dazzling light bulb, with no attempt to hide!
And the distance wasn't particularly far for it.
Hmm, not particularly far.
Reshiram: "Ryuga, this guy isn't easy to deal with. Let's go find Zekrom instead."
"Kyurem is very strong. I think we can try to recruit it."
Ryuga replied without any pause.
He had guessed that this outwardly sacred Sea King Dragon would say something like that.
"…Alright then, I'll guide you."
Reshiram was silent for a moment, then finally agreed.
Although it really wanted to say that if they met, that tyrannical Kyurem would likely just launch a Frost Breath at them.
But a hero of its own choosing, it had to follow, even with tears in its eyes.
And thinking about it, it wasn't alone now! It also had Eternatus as an accomplice!
I, Reshiram, have stood up! Why should I be afraid of Kyurem?
First, deal with Kyurem, then beat up Zekrom.
I, Reshiram, have stood up! Nothing wrong with that!
And just as Ryuga and the other two entered Giant Chasm.
In the high-altitude clouds, a gigantic Zekrom was flying at high speed.
"The Truth Hero…"
On Zekrom's back, N murmured to himself, looking into the distance.
Yes, they were heading to Reshiram's location!
