After completing all the Eevee evolutions, Aiden Flint brought the special Partner Eevee out of the system space and gently placed it on his shoulder.
The small Pokémon settled there naturally, as if it had always belonged.
High above the skies—
Rayquaza cut through the clouds, carrying Aiden back toward the Hoenn region.
With the coordinates sent by James, Aiden quickly locked onto the destination.
Moments later—
He descended.
The location surprised him.
Petalburg Woods.
A vast, dense forest stretched endlessly in every direction.
Aiden narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So even here… something like that can hide."
Even with psychic power comparable to Mewtwo, scanning an entire forest inch by inch wasn't realistic.
Even power had limits.
Instead—
He extended his senses and searched for familiar presences.
Very quickly—
He found them.
Northeast.
Without hesitation—
Aiden vanished.
Teleportation.
…
Inside a cave—
James adjusted a piece of equipment, eyes fixed on the screen.
"Meowth, when is boss arriving?"
Meowth slurped his instant noodles lazily.
"Relax, based on boss's speed, two hours max."
Nearby, Jessie stretched comfortably.
"Life has been amazing lately… money, strong Pokémon, new clothes…"
"Yeah, yeah, feels great, meow!"
"Wobbuffet!"
Even the ever-energetic Wobbuffet chimed in.
James sighed, but still picked up his noodles.
"…It does taste good."
Right then—
A voice echoed from the entrance.
"Instant noodles every day? That's not exactly healthy."
All three froze.
"Who's there?!"
In an instant—
Their Pokémon appeared.
Flygon, Lairon, Seviper, Arbok, Victreebel, and Cacturne surrounded the entrance.
Then—
They saw him.
"BOSS!!"
The three immediately snapped to attention.
Aiden walked in calmly, placing a neatly packed set of meals on the ground.
"Eat first. Then we talk."
For a moment—
They didn't move.
Then—
Tears burst out.
"Boss… no one's ever treated us this well, meow!"
"Waaaah! This is so touching!"
"Boss, from now on, all Legendary intel is ours to find!"
Aiden rubbed his forehead.
These three…
were ridiculously easy to satisfy.
…
After the meal—
They led him deeper into the forest.
Before they even reached the target—
Aiden stopped.
His eyes lifted toward the sky.
Something had already noticed him.
A violent psychic fluctuation surged.
The meteor—
exploded open.
A figure shot into the sky.
Its body twisted, shifting form—
Defense Form.
Floating silently—
Deoxys.
Its gaze locked onto Aiden.
Cold.
Alert.
Dangerous.
Jessie's voice trembled slightly.
"Boss… it came out on its own…"
Aiden didn't answer.
Instead—
He raised a Poké Ball.
A flash of light.
Rayquaza appeared once more.
The moment it saw Deoxys—
It roared.
Fury.
Pure instinctive hostility.
Sky guardian vs. cosmic invader.
They were natural enemies.
The air itself grew heavy.
Aiden's gaze sharpened.
Level 99.
Not a true god-tier… but close.
"So… that's how it works."
No divine authority.
No domain.
That was the difference.
Still—
Dangerous.
Very dangerous.
Aiden stepped forward slightly.
His psychic power extended outward.
Calm.
Controlled.
"Deoxys… you're tired of wandering, aren't you?"
"You want a place to stay."
A moment—
Silence.
The air stilled.
For a brief second—
Deoxys froze.
Its form flickered.
As if something deep inside had been touched.
Loneliness.
Endless drifting.
Isolation.
But—The next instant—
Its core pulsed violently.
A surge of psychic energy exploded outward.
Attack.
A crushing wave of telekinetic force surged toward Aiden and Rayquaza.
No hesitation.
No trust.
Only instinct.
Only survival.
Aiden's eyes narrowed.
"…So that's your answer."
The battle—
had begun.
