People across the myriad dimensions all felt the unusual gravity in the air.
So this—
Was the TOP 2 ranking video!
The sheer grandeur of the cover alone was enough to make people feel suffocated.
A true sunless moonless sky.
Both night and day devoured.
The world plunged into eternal darkness.
There was no need to even think about it—
This had to be the doing of the divine beast about to appear in TOP 2.
The worlds of One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Re:Zero, The Seven Deadly Sins, Assassin World, Spirit Pet World… and many other dimensions—
All felt a wave of relief.
Thankfully, these Legendary Pokémon belonged to the Pokémon world, not theirs.
Legendary Pokémon that casually controlled laws and caused world-shaking incidents at every turn—
That meant the world could be destroyed at any moment.
Who the hell could handle that!?
They couldn't help but silently mourn for the people of the Pokémon world.
Humans in the Pokémon world had no supernatural power of their own.
They could only tame Pokémon and rely on them to fight.
When facing divine beast-level combat power, they could do nothing but stare helplessly.
And the key problem was—
Legendary Pokémon just loved stirring up trouble.
Too miserable.
Of course, there was also one world that desperately wished its own world had Legendary Pokémon that could casually manipulate laws and cause chaos.
The Digital World.
The god of that world, Homeostasis, was genuinely envious.
It was certain that the Digital World lacked laws—
Which was why it hovered between reality and virtuality, unable to become a complete world.
It envied the Pokémon world for possessing so many Legendary Pokémon who governed laws.
If only the Digital World also had beings capable of controlling laws—
Then the Digital World could evolve into a true world as well.
Where there was envy, naturally there was also disdain.
"TOP 2 is still just an ant. Swallowing the sun and moon? Hah. Crushing a star is as easy for me as drinking water."
Frieza's tone was sour.
With his perspective, it wasn't hard to tell that this "devouring of the sun and moon" wasn't about devouring celestial bodies themselves, but rather the power of their source—
In other words, laws.
In their world, only gods could grasp laws.
In the Dragon Ball world, gods were appointed by the universe itself and granted corresponding divine offices.
Supreme Kais, Gods of Destruction, the Grand Priest, and above all universes—
Zeno.
Only beings like them could touch power at the level of laws.
They could delegate a portion of their authority downward—
Which was why beings like the Grand Kai and the Kais existed.
Kais, planetary gods, and the like—
Were merely pseudo-gods.
Frieza was furious.
Why could these ants all grasp laws!?
That was the very thing his Frost Demon race dreamed of!
Soon, their drifting thoughts were interrupted—
Because movement appeared on the screen.
[Top 10 Strongest Legendary Pokémon]
[TOP 2]
[——Rin Aokawa]
Along with the customary opening subtitles—
Rin Aokawa's narration rang out from the dark screen.
[A very, very long time ago, in the boundless cosmos, the world was born. At the beginning of its birth, the entire world possessed nothing.]
And so—
The TOP 2 video officially began.
The scene appeared…
Within the video—
The world was silent and empty.
No oceans.
No land.
No sun, moon, or stars.
No mountains, rivers, or lakes.
The world was filled only with violent and destructive energy.
[Later, from the laws, one divine beast after another was born, each granted corresponding authority.]
[The world gradually stabilized.]
One divine beast after another came into being.
The laws stabilized.
Land appeared.
The ocean appeared.
The sky took shape.
Time in the video skipped rapidly forward, scene after scene flashing by like a galloping horse.
Soon—
Mountains, rivers, and lakes appeared.
But for some reason, viewers across the dimensions all felt that something was missing.
[But at that time, the world knew only darkness. Black was its eternal tone.]
[There was no day, and there was no night.]
That was it!!
Everyone finally realized what felt wrong.
There was no light!!
Even though no one knew why they could still clearly see the scenes in the video despite the lack of light—
The fact remained that throughout the passing of time, the entire world stayed black.
There was no alternation between day and night.
Plants and life alike—
Could not exist without light.
Without sunlight.
But that didn't seem right either.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
Stars did exist.
Then why was there still no day or night??
Soon—
Their doubts were answered.
[Although the heavens above the world and the outer cosmos held sun, moon, and stars…]
[The world's rules had not yet given birth to the concepts of "day and night" and "light," so the world had no day or night, nor did light appear.]
[The radiance shining from the stars was rejected by the world itself.]
Aside from a few technologically underdeveloped worlds—
The viewers from most other worlds immediately understood.
Especially those from the world of Super Seminary, who nodded in realization.
Conceptual power.
This was the foundation of a world's cognition.
It might sound abstruse, but it was part of the world's basic structure.
These were conceptual existences—
Or, to put it another way, the laws of the world.
To put it simply—
A world was like a computer.
And the world's laws were its firewall.
Software unrecognized by the firewall might be blocked from being installed.
The light of the stars beyond the world—
Was not recognized by the world's laws.
So it was blocked out.
The world had not yet given birth to the concept of "light," so the radiance of the stars could not enter.
Only when the world's rules themselves recognized, I need light here—
Could stellar radiance shine in.
Just like—
When the world recognized the need for land, Groudon was born and created the continents.
[But soon, as the world developed, it came to recognize the need for light.]
[Two Legendary Pokémon obtained the power of laws. One was granted authority over daylight, and one was granted authority over the night.]
[The world began to know light.]
A hole of light appeared in the heavens.
Two figures flashed across the sky.
The world began to know moonlight and sunlight.
Afterward—
The scorching brilliance of the sun during the day, and the cool silver glow of the moon at night, appeared.
The Pokémon world—
Finally gained day and night.
[The Moon God who governed the night, and the Sun God who governed the day.]
[Both wished to seize the other's domain.]
At one moment, the world became night.
At the next, it became day.
In the scenes—
The world often displayed strange spectacles.
Day and night both tried to devour each other, just like Groudon and Kyogre.
Just as ocean and land invaded one another's territories—
The world would be daytime one second, then nighttime the next, then day again.
Everyone was filled with amazement.
This was simply too miraculous.
A Sun God, a Moon God.
Even conceptual things like day and night had given birth to corresponding Legendary Pokémon.
But after thinking about it—
In the Hoopa ranking video, even abstract things like ideals and reality, concepts on the level of spirit and mind, had given rise to Zekrom, the Dragon of Ideals, and Reshiram, the Dragon of Truth.
And the mysterious things called space and time had given rise to Palkia and Dialga.
So if day and night also had Legendary Pokémon—
It really wasn't that shocking after all.
What they were more curious about was what these two Legendary Pokémon looked like.
In the video—
Neither the Sun God nor the Moon God had shown their faces yet.
And they also wanted to know—
Since the Sun God and Moon God had always been fighting over control of day and night in the past—
How had things eventually evolved into the present situation, where summer had longer days and shorter nights, while winter had longer nights and shorter days?
Just as they were wondering—
The scene suddenly changed.
Towering skyscrapers.
Aircraft streaking across the sky.
This had reached modern society.
The camera overlooked the land below, focusing on a continental region.
"This… this is the Alola region?"
Many Trainers immediately recognized the outline of the landmass.
It was indeed the Alola region.
"Hm? Pikachu, did you notice something?"
A voice sounded in the video.
Everyone hearing it froze.
This… this was Ash's voice, wasn't it!?
At Professor Oak's Laboratory in the Kanto region—
"S-Seems like it's my voice again."
Ash scratched his head awkwardly.
"Could it be that this ranking video… has me in it again?"
Professor Oak: "…"
You can remove the word seems.
Grandfather and grandson were both numb to it by now.
They had already accepted the fact that Ash showed up in these ranking videos at the drop of a hat.
Human joys and sorrows were never the same.
The camera focused.
A boy in a cap stood there with a Pikachu perched on his shoulder.
Sure enough—
It was Ash.
Ash was ironclad, while the Legendary Pokémon came and went like flowing water.
Seeing Ash, everyone fell silent.
What exactly was going on with this guy?
How did almost every ranking video have him in it!?
To be honest—
Everyone was jealous.
Being featured in the ranking videos meant being seen by the myriad dimensions.
What an incomparable honor that was.
And yet Ash just sat there like a permanent tenant who refused to leave.
"Pikachu, did you notice something?"
The video continued.
Ash and Pikachu were in a forest.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, casting mottled patches of light onto the ground.
At this moment, in the grass before them, floated a Pokémon.
Its body was golden, shaped somewhat like a rooster, with a crest on its head. On either side of its black arms were shell-like golden shields, like halves of an eggshell.
In the Alola region—
Many Trainers jolted violently at the sight.
One of Alola's guardian deities!!!
Holy crap—
Ash had encountered another divine beast??
They were numb.
Was there even any divine beast left in the world that Ash hadn't met?
"Kapu Koko, so it was you. Thanks for giving me a Z-Crystal last time."
Alolan Trainers: ?
Every Trainer had a giant question mark appear over their heads.
What the hell was with that casual tone?
And also—
Last time Tapu Koko had given you a Z-Crystal??
Almost every Trainer knew what a Z-Crystal was.
It was unique to the Alola region—
A rare crystal that allowed Pokémon to use stronger moves.
Those moves were called—
Z-Moves.
They were extremely hard to obtain.
And a divine beast had actually given one to Ash??
As expected of you, Ash…
In the video, Tapu Koko flew away.
"Hm? What's this?"
Ash noticed that in the patch of grass where Tapu Koko had just been—
There was another creature lying there.
He walked over.
It was cloudlike, with two small cloudlike ears and no limbs, as though a nebula had gathered into a single form, glittering with starlight.
It looked like a fluffy marshmallow made of stars, with a face.
Right now, it was sleeping on the ground.
Judging by its appearance—
It had clearly only just been born.
"Ahhh, it's so cute!!"
"I want one so badly! It's so soft and fluffy, just like cotton candy."
"I want it, I want it! It must feel amazing to hold!"
Quite a few female viewers across the dimensions were instantly won over.
It was just too adorable.
In the Pokémon world… at Oak Laboratory…
Professor Oak froze upon seeing the creature.
What Pokémon was that?
He had never seen it before.
Could it be a Pokémon unique to the Alola region?
After all, because of environmental differences, some regions had their own exclusive Pokémon.
Professor Oak glanced at the chat.
[Brock]: What Pokémon is that? I've never seen it before. Can any Alola Trainers explain?
[Samson Oak]: I've lived in the Alola region for so many years, and I've never seen that Pokémon either.
[Professor Kukui]: I haven't seen it before either.
[Leon]: Could it be a divine beast? Or maybe Tapu Koko's pre-evolution?
[Professor Birch]: No way. How could this little thing be a divine beast? Maybe it's just some newly discovered species.
[Samson Oak]: How could it possibly be a divine beast hatchling? Legendary Pokémon don't have pre-evolutions. How could it be Tapu Koko's offspring?
Everyone nodded.
That was true.
Legendary Pokémon had no pre-evolution stages.
They were all born in their final forms.
They had neither pre-evolutions nor evolutions.
The only possibility they had—
Was a change in form.
For example:
Kyogre and Groudon's Primal Reversion, Mewtwo's Mega Evolution forms, Rayquaza's Mega Evolution…
The video continued.
After confirming that the little Pokémon had no Trainer, Ash took it with him.
Then he arrived at a Pokémon school.
In the Alola region—
Samson Oak stared at the video, seeing himself onscreen, and froze slightly.
Wasn't that his school?
So in the future—
Ash would be attending the Pokémon school he ran??
Professor Kukui was equally delighted.
So in the future, he would be Ash's teacher???
And then there were Lana, Lillie, Sophocles, and Kiawe, who studied alongside Ash at the school.
Seeing themselves in the classroom learning together with Ash—
They were overjoyed.
Their future selves would actually be Ash's classmates, studying together with him!!!
Ash had long since become the idol of countless Trainers.
The video played quickly.
The little nebula Pokémon—
Ash gave the Pokémon he had picked up a name:
Nebby.
Under his careful care, Nebby grew day by day.
And finally—
One day, white light enveloped Nebby's body.
The light of evolution.
The marshmallow-like Nebby evolved.
It became a cocoon, wrapped in a golden shell. Not entirely, though—the front remained open, allowing its face to still be seen.
[Nebby evolved into Cosmoem.]
Cosmoem…
Seeing that golden cocoon, everyone learned the species name of Nebby's line.
[Weight: 999 kg]
Weight: 999 kilograms????
Silence.
"Awesome, Nebby, you evolved!"
Looking at the Ash in the video—
Shouting excitedly as he tossed Cosmoem high into the air and caught it again—
Everyone in the Pokémon world fell into silence.
Their minds filled with question marks.
You actually did that??
It weighs 999 kilograms.
And you're tossing it around like a toy???
