Chapter 497:
Dialga...The God of Time. If the Distortion World is Giratina's domain, then time is Dialga's domain, and space is Palkia's domain.
If someone causes trouble in the Distortion World, it will inevitably incur Giratina's pursuit. If someone tampers with time, it will attract Dialga's pursuit. If someone collapses space, it will provoke Palkia's pursuit.
The moment the Time Ripples were created, in an unknown dimension, a Pokémon with a light-blue body covered in various diamond-like protrusions, its entire form flowing with luminous vein-like lines, opened its eyes. A faint red light glowed in its gaze as it looked into the distance. Then, turning, it raced through time towards a certain location.
....
Back in the tree orchard.
"Mew~" (Done!)
Mew looked at its handiwork, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Kaede.
"Good, thank you, Mew."
Kaede thanked it.
Afterward, he planned to find Zoroark and ask what it intended to do upon returning to the past. But at that moment, a sudden howling wind arose around them. The wind stirred the clouds, then abruptly ceased. The surrounding space, the very atmosphere, the drifting leaves—everything froze at that instant, as if time itself had come to a standstill.
Kaede paused. Although the surrounding space was in stasis, his thoughts—not just his, but those of the other Pokémon around—were still active.
This anomaly instantly made him think of one Pokémon.
The legendary Temporal Pokémon—Dialga.
Only It could cause such a phenomenon.
Moreover, Mew had just created Time Ripples. Such temporal fluctuations would definitely be noticed by Dialga.
But quickly, this scene was shattered by a roar filled with anger.
Remember, Lugia, the great deity, had also returned with Mew this time. At the first sign of action, It also sensed the surrounding anomaly and promptly unleashed Its own power, using air currents to sweep away the energy Dialga had manifested.
A gentle breeze blew again. This sudden, fleeting anomaly went unnoticed by most Pokémon in the plantation.
But not all Pokémon were unaware.
Such as Gardevoir, Dragonite, and Salamence...
The first was strong and possessed Aura abilities. The latter two, upon hearing Lugia's roar, sensed the change in energy.
All three hurried over.
But there were already many Pokémon in the tree orchard, especially those from the Wilderness Area working here.
After this fluctuation occurred, they were directly stunned, then hid trembling among the leaves.
And when Kaede turned his head again, Dialga was already visible in the sky.
Its eyes were cold and filled with intimidating power. Its massive form hovered above the tree orchard. The light-blue luminous veins on its body emitted a bright glow, hanging under the sunlight, seemingly more dazzling than the blinding sun.
Dialga, the Temporal Pokémon!
Kaede was stunned at first glance, but his mind quickly raced through various thoughts.
Why had It come? Because of the Time Ripples?
But in *Zoroark: Master of Illusions*, even someone absorbing the energy of Time Ripples didn't attract Dialga's attention.
And he hadn't even touched the Time Ripples.
[Pokémon: Dialga]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Type: Steel, Dragon]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Potential: Divine]
[IVs: ....]
[Level: ???]
[Moves: Roar of Time, Scary Face, Slash, Dragon Claw, Aura Sphere...]
[Happiness: 0]
[Friendship: 0]
Kaede thoughts changed rapidly, but couldn't keep up with the developments.
In just the moment it took Kaede to glance at the interface, the situation had shifted.
Such an arrogant posture looming over his head. Before Mew could even react, the first one displeased was Lugia.
It also flapped its wings, soaring into the sky to face Dialga from a distance, emitting a roar of anger.
Only...
The moment Dialga saw Lugia, It was taken aback, then adopted a somewhat scornful expression.
Such a small Lugia... was this an ordinary Pokémon born from the ocean?!
It is simply overestimating itself!
But this expression only further enraged Lugia.
The Sea Guardian's temperament was usually very good, but that was based on the premise of being respected by others. Like Kaede, who had approached It with a consultative tone and even offered the magical dishes that allowed shrinking and growing, which was why It was willing to listen to him.
But now, this big fellow... even if It also seemed to be a Legendary Pokémon, they would have to fight to see who was boss!
A fierce gale howled. The roaring wind currents carried intense energy attributes. Lugia flapped its wings, releasing an Air Slash!
And Dialga, standing there, although realizing the power behind Lugia's move the moment it was launched—seeming to exceed Its expectations—by then, reacting was clearly too late.
Lugia, being Psychic/Flying-type, excelled most in the speed of move execution and projectile velocity.
In this, even Dialga, the Temporal Pokémon, had no chance to dodge. The attack landed squarely on Its body.
Struck by this blow, Dialga was first stunned. Feeling the pain, Its expression immediately turned to one of great fury. Energy gathered in Its mouth, ready to unleash Roar of Time at Lugia.
All this happened within mere seconds.
"Crap!"
Witnessing this, Kaede's heart sank. He instinctively shouted, "Don't fight near my home!"
Damn it, if that Roar of Time landed in the tree orchard, he'd have to challenge Dialga to a match!
Fortunately, Lugia was somewhat considerate. Upon hearing this, It immediately soared higher into the sky and vanished from sight in an instant. Having suffered this attack, Dialga was unwilling to let it go and followed.
"Not this..."
Kaede felt a headache coming on.
How did they suddenly start fighting?
"Mew~" (Wow wow, they're fighting!) Mew cheered from the side.
Then, taking Victini with it, it chased after the two departing figures.
No joke, Lugia was now a member of their little squad. Now that It was fighting someone, they definitely had to go help.
Kaede didn't stop them, just felt rather annoyed.
Wouldn't this cause some serious trouble?
Lugia and Dialga should be Pokémon of roughly the same tier. But with Mew and Victini's help, the outcome probably wasn't a concern.
"Gardevoir?"
Gardevoir walked over, asking what had happened.
And given how significant the commotion just was, with the two Pokémon chasing each other at such speeds, it naturally couldn't have gone unnoticed.
