So, so many Pokémon!
Looking at these Pokémon, both familiar and strange, Draconis's eyes lit up immediately.
Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio—these three Pokémon are the future starters of the Alola region!
Pikipek, Alola's regional bird.
Behind them, Dugtrio, Rockruff, Shiinotic, and Stufful are Pokémon with distinct Alolan characteristics!
Especially Shiinotic; at night, its body emits a bright light that dispels darkness, making it a natural, zero-consumption, pollution-free lighting tool.
As for the Alolan Vulpix... it's so cute it makes one's heart melt!
Jangmo-o is even the pseudo-legendary Pokémon of the Alola region.
"Not bad, not bad!" Draconis praised repeatedly.
This group of newcomers looked around their surroundings with curious faces.
Some stayed in place, a bit timid, while others boldly ran around on the smooth marble floor.
"Everyone, return to your Poké Balls for now!"
Columbus grinned and ordered his sailors to recall these Pokémon from the Alola region into their Poké Balls. Next, he was going to introduce Pokémon from two other places.
"After leaving the Alola Islands, our fleet continued to sail across the vast ocean. About a month later, we reached another expansive land."
"It's a place called [Kalos], ruled by a nation called the Kingdom of Kalos. We were invited to the royal city to meet King AZ."
"Upon learning our intentions, the King was very surprised. He ordered his ministers to trade with us, though life there didn't seem peaceful... according to the local Commoners, the Kingdom of Kalos is at war with a nation called the Kingdom of Galar."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Draconis frowned immediately.
AZ, the war between the Kalos and Galar regions... has it already begun?
Then the question arises: did Floette die because of the war? Has the ultimate weapon been created yet?
Information in Lysandre Labs claims that AZ possesses talent and technology far beyond that of the era 3,000 years ago. The ultimate weapon he created was called 'the tool of a god' by his younger brother.
The ultimate weapon, a terrifying weapon of war invented by AZ that does not belong to this era.
Although AZ's purpose in creating it was only to resurrect his Floette, because he wanted revenge on those who killed his beloved Pokémon, he turned the device into a weapon to destroy both sides and end the war.
The final result was that AZ was affected by the energy of the ultimate weapon and gained eternal life.
When AZ's Floette realized that AZ had caused the deaths of many Pokémon to resurrect it, it left him.
This war not only brought immense losses to the Kalos region but also caused a terrifying disaster for the people of the Galar region.
The final result could be described as a mutual defeat.
This also led to the people of the two regions hating each other, with relations being very poor until they were eased after the establishment of the modern Pokémon League.
As for the ultimate weapon, it was buried deep underground by AZ's brother to be sealed forever, until modern times, when it was excavated and reactivated by Lysandre of Team Flare.
Draconis's finger tapped rhythmically on the throne.
He was thinking.
Thinking about what he could do, and the hope for 'eternal life' that he had always sought.
If he could have a life as near-eternal as AZ's, then he could always stay by the side of Dragonite, Serperior, Volcarona, and the others.
"It seems necessary to make a trip to the Kalos region," Draconis thought to himself.
Columbus continued his report: "...Similarly, as part of the trade, King AZ took the initiative to gift us many Pokémon unique to the Kalos region."
With that, Columbus ordered his subordinates to bring out another box of Poké Balls.
Accompanied by flashes of white light, Pokémon full of the local flavor of the Kalos region appeared before Draconis.
Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Bunnelby, Fletchling, Vivillon, Litleo, Floette, Skiddo and Gogoat, Pancham, Honedge, Helioptile, Dedenne, Carbink...
Draconis glanced over them.
These Pokémon were also very useful.
Chespin, Froakie, and the others could be raised as starters to be given to new Trainers in the Unova region after being bred.
Bunnelby is an expert at digging and farming, Vivillon can spread pollen, and Pokémon like Floette and Pancham can enrich the ecosystem of the Unova region.
Not to mention Skiddo and Gogoat; while producing goat milk, they are also good helpers for humans.
This kind of Pokémon has a gentle temperament; if there is water and sunlight, it can use the leaves on its back to create energy for living.
It was one of the first Pokémon to live with humans; there are even records stating that as early as five thousand years ago, this Pokémon has been assisting humans with their work.
"Not bad." Draconis nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Columbus recalled these Pokémon into their Poké Balls and then continued:
"After leaving the Kingdom of Kalos, we followed the continent all the way south. That land is much larger than our Kingdom of Unova. Therefore, at the southern end of the continent lies a nation called the [Kingdom of Paldea]."
"A treasure-hunting craze is rising there. After our extensive inquiries, we finally found out that in the center of that land, there is a massive hole called the [Great Crater of Paldea]. It's said that many treasures exist down there. Those who find the treasures will gain supreme honor and wealth, attracting countless adventurers and explorers."
Paldea... the Paldea region.
Draconis thought for a moment; as far as he knew, the distance between the Paldea and Kalos regions was indeed very close.
Images of Koraidon, the Deity of the Past, and Miraidon, the Deity of the Future, as well as those Paradox Pokémon, appeared in his mind. Draconis asked with interest:
"Oh? What kind of Pokémon did you encounter there?"
Columbus clapped his hands, and the sailors finally brought out the final harvest of this trip.
Accompanied by flashes of white light, the silhouettes of Pokémon never seen before appeared one after another before Draconis.
Sprigatito, Pawmot, Maushold, Fidough, Dachsbun, Dolliv, Nacli, Charcadet, Tinkatink, Cyclizar, and Tatsugiri.
Seeing these Pokémon before him, Draconis was overjoyed.
Although Fidough and Dachsbun are not good at fighting, the role they can play in agriculture far exceeds that of ordinary Pokémon!
Because the alluring fragrance emitted from these two Pokémon's bodies helps crops like wheat grow.
Now the people of the Kingdom of Unova have learned to live with the help of Pokémon's power, and Landorus has injected new vitality into the land of the entire Kingdom of Unova, making it fertile.
Now with Dachsbun added, Draconis could guarantee that in at most a year, his subjects would no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat!
And it wasn't just Fidough and Dachsbun.
Arboliva, the final evolution of Dolliv, can produce delicious and nutritious olive oil, which can play a huge role in cooking.
And Nacli can produce a large amount of high-quality rock salt; this salt even possesses a very magical power.
It's said that when sprinkled on an injured Pokémon, no matter how serious the injury, it can heal immediately.
Draconis turned his gaze to the other Pokémon.
Charcadet can produce high temperatures; while good at fighting, it can also help start fires.
Tinkatink has immense strength and is skilled at forging. Although they might not play a huge role in the future, in this era, they are definitely the best apprentices for blacksmith shops!
Plus Cyclizar, which has a gentle nature and can serve as a means of transportation.
Looking at these Pokémon, Draconis's eyes sparkled. His decision to start the Age of Discovery was indeed correct!
With the addition of these Pokémon, the development speed of the Kingdom of Unova will be rapidly enhanced!
Thinking of this, Draconis was in a great mood and immediately waved his hand, saying to Alfred, "Reward them!"
Columbus looked delighted and quickly knelt in worship. "Thank you, Your Majesty! We plan to rest for a few days, and once the fleet is refitted, we'll be ready to set off again!"
"Good!" Draconis said. "If you need anything, feel free to ask me."
"Yes!"
Columbus and the others withdrew one after another.
Draconis returned to his study, thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, wrote down the general information and strengths of those Pokémon, and then handed it to Alfred.
"Alfred, have someone take those Pokémon down and raise them well. Once they've adapted to life here, slowly introduce them to various places," Draconis said.
Introducing Pokémon is not something that can be completed overnight.
If they are released directly into the wild, they could potentially cause significant damage to the local ecosystem.
Therefore, before that, there must be human intervention to minimize the damage.
"As you command, Your Majesty," Alfred replied softly. Holding the information Draconis had written, he bowed and withdrew.
The heavy wooden door of the study slowly closed, completely shutting out the noise from outside.
Draconis sat back behind his large desk alone, his fingertips lightly tapping the smooth surface, his thoughts surging like ocean waves.
Outside the window, the setting sun was slowly sinking below the distant horizon, dyeing the castles and streets of Nimbasa City a warm golden-red. A few Taillow stretched their wings and streaked across the sky, while the subjects and Pokémon below continued their orderly work, a peaceful scene of national prosperity.
This was the Kingdom of Unova he had spent several years building with his own hands.
There was the fertile land nourished by Landorus, the stable order spread throughout the territory, the beautiful home where humans and Pokémon coexisted in harmony, and a powerful force capable of protecting this land.
He had created all of this himself.
From a transmigrator with nothing to the king who unified Unova, he had reached today step by step, relying on his knowledge of this world and the Pokémon partners who never left his side.
But Draconis's gaze was not entirely immersed in satisfaction.
Alola, Kalos, Paldea...
What Columbus brought back was far more than just new Pokémon and resources; it was a door to the entire world.
The war in Kalos, the immortal king, the ultimate weapon...
"Eternal life..."
Draconis murmured softly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the windowsill.
He had power, a kingdom, and countless loyal subjects and partners. Dragonite, Serperior, Volcarona... they had accompanied him from obscurity to the peak.
But no matter how long a Pokémon's lifespan, it eventually has an end.
Human years are even as fleeting as morning dew.
He wasn't afraid of war, power struggles, or the thorns on the path ahead.
What he feared was the ruthlessness of time, and watching the things he cherished most leave him one by one.
However, the eternal life Draconis wanted was not the cursed, blood-stained eternal life of AZ.
It was being able to stay by the side of partners like Dragonite, Serperior, and Volcarona for a long time, being able to personally watch the Kingdom of Unova continue to prosper, and being able to protect all of this for an eternity.
But... the Kalos region was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
A few names surfaced in Draconis's mind.
The Life Pokémon, Xerneas.
The Destruction Pokémon, Yveltal.
And the overseer and guardian of the ecosystem, the Order Pokémon, Zygarde.
He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the land he protected, a firm light gradually igniting in his eyes.
The fleet had already opened the route to the new world.
The Pokémon of Alola, Kalos, and Paldea would step by step integrate into Unova's ecology, becoming a driving force for the kingdom's development.
Agriculture, forging, transportation, and people's livelihoods would all experience a leap because of these new powers. Before long, his subjects would completely bid farewell to hunger and scarcity, living truly prosperous and stable lives.
And after that... he would personally set sail for Kalos.
To meet that immortal King AZ, to explore the secrets of the ultimate weapon, to stop that war destined for mutual destruction, and to protect those innocent Pokémon who were meant to die because of the ultimate weapon.
And to find a truly bright path of eternity for himself and the partners by his side.
The evening breeze gently brushed across the terrace, bringing the fragrance of flowers, grass, and Pokémon. Kyurem, who had been lying quietly nearby, seemed to feel Draconis's intent.
It slowly raised its head and let out a low, majestic cry.
"It seems thou hast made up thy mind again."
Draconis smiled and said to Kyurem, "I just want to do what I should do, to seek my own ideals and truth."
"Moreover, since I'm here, I can't just watch so many innocent lives die because of this."
"And..." Draconis's gaze turned to Dragonite, Serperior, and Volcarona by his side, "I also want to stay by everyone's side for as long as possible."
"Hmm..." Two puffs of breath slowly escaped Kyurem's nostrils. Its majestic gaze looked directly at Draconis, and after a moment, it nodded. "In that case, then go. No matter what, we shall face it together with thee."
"Don't worry, our road is still very long," Draconis said softly, his gaze turning toward the window.
The entire world seemed to unfold slowly before his eyes.
On this evening in the year 152 of the League Calendar, the King of the Kingdom of Unova had already set his sights on a distance wider than the sea.
