Chapter 884: We're Having Pokémon Battles, Ren, But You're Having Real Fights
Misty glanced left and right, her bright eyes darting between the stunned faces of her companions.
"Why does everyone look so shocked?" she asked, tilting her head. "And what exactly is... a Multiverse?"
She was certainly amazed by Arceus. The mysterious, elegant creature radiating divine light was a Pokémon she had never seen before in all her travels. But to her, it was just that—a rare, majestic Pokémon. It wasn't nearly enough to make her jaw drop or her eyes bulge out of her head.
Yet, seeing the absolute disbelief painted across Shinobu Kocho's face, along with the chaotic uproar erupting inside the Chat Group, Misty felt completely out of her depth.
"Misty, actually, a Multiverse refers to..."
March 7th leaned in close. Using simple, bite-sized concepts, the energetic pink-haired girl broke down the vast definitions of universes, dimensions, and the overarching Multiverse for both Misty and Kikyo, who looked equally lost.
A long minute passed.
"Ah?!!!"
Misty's mouth fell wide open. Her jaw practically unhinged, threatening to hit the floor. She smacked the side of her head, entirely convinced her ears were malfunctioning.
A Pokémon that could freely create and destroy entire universes?
How was that even possible?
In her worldview, the absolute pinnacle of power belonged to the ace Pokémon held by Elite Four members or top-tier Gym Leaders. Sure, they were devastatingly strong. But they couldn't just casually wipe towns off the map, let alone erase reality!
Yet March 7th claimed this Arceus could manipulate the very fabric of the Multiverse with a mere thought. It was a truth that shattered her entire understanding of the world.
And she wasn't the only one struggling to process it.
Inside the Chat Group, the shockwaves were even more severe.
[Chat Group]
Shiroyasha: "..."
Shiroyasha: "Ren, are you really not joking with us right now?"
Shiroyasha: "Are you seriously telling me that a cute, animal-like exotic beast can output more destructive force than a 2-Digit existence?"
If that were true, the White Night Demon Lord felt her absolute status as a premier Star Spirit in Little Garden was practically worthless.
Ren: "It is not that all Pokémon are strong. It is just that Arceus sits in a league entirely of its own."
Ren: "It is the literal creator god of this world. It birthed countless dimensions and universes. Other Pokémon cannot do that. Not even the strongest Legendary Pokémon comes close to its domain."
Shiroyasha: "..."
Luo Hao: "Even taking that into account, it remains highly exaggerated. I originally perceived these 'Pokémon' as relatively harmless, unique flora and fauna. I never anticipated such a extraordinary entity hiding among them."
Aqua: "Darn it! An exotic pet is actually stronger than a literal Goddess like me! This is completely unacceptable!"
Skadi: "Ren. It is beautiful."
Ren: "Haha, Arceus does have a pretty top-tier design."
Ren: "Oh, speaking of which, I happen to have a Legendary Pokémon that perfectly suits your aesthetic, Skadi. Do you want it?"
Kushina: "Wait, you have more of these things?"
Ren: "Heh heh. I have a bit of a collector's habit. I went ahead and caught one of every single Pokémon in existence and placed them inside my personal created world."
Ren: [Picture Attached] "How about this one? The Legendary Pokémon, Kyogre."
Ais: "A... whale. It is so big."
Skadi: "I like it."
Ren: "If you like it, I will bring it straight to you when I return."
Skadi: "Mm."
Ch'en: "Cough."
Ren: "Oh, right. I will bring one for you too, Ch'en."
Ch'en: "!!! I-I never said I wanted one!"
Ren: "Is that so? Then I will just give them to Hoshiguma and the others. I imagine they will be thrilled to have them."
Ch'en: "???"
Ch'en: "Darn it! I want it! Give it to me!"
Silver Wolf: "Tsk tsk. Ren never falls for the tsundere act. He will just tease you until you break. Right, Misaka Mikoto?"
Misaka Mikoto: "..."
With the multiverse-shattering revelations out of the way, the girls eagerly turned their attention to their new partners. Under Ren's casual guidance, the group scattered across the region, thoroughly exploring the vibrant world and engaging in traditional Pokémon battles against the local trainers.
They certainly did not come all this way just to sightsee.
However, the local trainers were completely unprepared for the sheer, unadulterated devastation brought upon them by Otherworlders wielding supernatural abilities.
Kushina stood proudly on a battlefield, her red hair blowing in the wind. Her Bulbasaur, infused with her monstrous chakra, did not just use a simple Vine Whip. It unleashed a full-blown Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence. Massive, twisting timber erupted from the earth, swallowing the entire arena and sweeping away the opponent's team in a tidal wave of crushing wood.
Elsewhere, Furina directed her Milotic with theatrical flair. Instead of standard Water-type moves, her Milotic channeled pure Oceanic energy, unleashing a hydro-attack infused with Pneuma and Ousia properties. The resulting blast was exponentially stronger than any conventional type advantage, turning the Hydro Archon into an absolute master of brute-forcing through adverse matchups.
Meanwhile, Ren fulfilled Misty's lifelong dream, taking her across various hidden regions to witness incredibly rare and unknown Pokémon in their natural habitats.
Yet, while the girls were busy terrorizing the local Pokémon League circuits, Ren was not sitting idle.
In fact, he was incredibly busy.
Busy doing what?
Busy conquering the local beauties, of course.
Across different regions, different timelines, and different generations—wherever a renowned beauty existed, Ren's figure inevitably appeared.
Cynthia, Rosa, May, Lillie, Dawn, Serena... the list went on. Anyone whose name held weight across the generations found themselves entirely unable to escape his overwhelming charm, overpowered stats, and shameless advances.
He did not stop there. Even the sprawling, identical lineages of the Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny families were systematically charmed and swept into his private domain.
When the Chat Group girls finally finished their world tour and were summoned back to Ren's newly constructed, ultra-secure grand manor, they walked through the front doors and froze.
They had spent the entire day engaging in intense Pokémon battles.
Ren, on the other hand, was currently engaged in a massive, real-life physical brawl of a completely different nature.
Misty shrieked, instantly slapping both hands over her eyes, though a furious crimson blush rapidly crept up her neck and cheeks.
Even the usually stoic shrine maiden, Kikyo, rigidly turned her head away, completely unsure of where to look amidst the sprawling sea of tangled limbs, discarded clothing, and flushed, panting women.
"Eh? W-Wait, Ren, what exactly is going on here?!"
March 7th stammered, her cheeks burning as red as a ripe apple. She pointed a trembling finger at Ren, who was currently lounging like an emperor in the center of a literal mountain of beautiful women.
Ren merely flashed a shameless, thoroughly satisfied grin.
"It is exactly what it looks like," he said, casually pulling a gasping Cynthia closer. "I just gave them all a warm, loving home."
He looked up, his eyes gleaming with predatory amusement. "Interested in joining?"
Normally, integrating into such a massive, established family would be a daunting task.
However, there were always exceptions.
Inside this sprawling grand manor housing hundreds of beauties, literally everyone present—aside from March 7th, Kikyo, and Misty—was already a part of Ren's expanding wings.
He and his family members played without a single shred of restraint, turning every hallway, lounge, and garden of the manor into their personal playground.
The three newcomers could not hide even if they tried.
Surrounded by the daily, overwhelming immersion of Ren's affectionate assaults and the sheer scale of his harem, their defenses eventually crumbled. One by one, they made the inevitable mistake.
Very good.
Three new members were officially added to the big family.
Little Garden.
Inside the luxurious branch of the Thousand Eyes community.
"This bastard... he just jumps to other worlds and throws massive, debauched parties every single day?"
Shiroyasha pressed her fingers hard against her temples, her face twisting into a mask of deep annoyance.
She was currently complaining about Ren to an empty room.
The guy did not just throw massive harem parties; he had the absolute audacity to live-stream them to the Chat Group from time to time.
It made the daily atmosphere in the chat incredibly strange and heavily censored.
But most...
"I am so incredibly envious!!!"
Pure, unadulterated jealousy turned Shiroyasha's eyes bloodshot. She gripped her paper fan tightly, practically snapping the wood in half.
So many beautiful girls!
She never expected a world filled with magical exotic pets to also be overflowing with such a massive variety of top-tier beauties.
If she had known the harvest would be this bountiful, she would have dropped everything and gone with him!
Of course, she was only venting her frustrations.
The upper-echelon bosses of Little Garden were currently keeping a very close eye on her movements. She could not just leave.
Especially not now.
Ever since Kudou Asuka and Kasukabe Yō joined the No-Name community, the lower floors of Little Garden had become incredibly restless.
The two girls possessed immense potential, and backed by the resources and strength Ren had previously provided, their growth rate was nothing short of monstrous.
How long had it even been? Yet both of them had already broken through to the 4-Digit level of power.
However, power often bred arrogance.
"Those brats really know how to stir up a massive headache!"
Shiroyasha groaned, rubbing the bridge of her nose.
Just recently, the Perseus Community had initiated a high-stakes Gift Game against No-Name.
Unsurprisingly, No-Name emerged victorious, crushing their opponents.
But to Shiroyasha's absolute dismay, the prize Kudou Asuka and the others demanded from the defeated Perseus Community was their most dangerous, troublesome asset.
It was an entity that even Shiroyasha herself preferred to avoid at all costs.
One of the three great problem children of the ancient past.
The Demon Star Algol.
