Six-Color Opportunity!
After several days of reconstruction, Three-Cloud Island had nearly returned to normal.
With Divine-tier assistance, recovery was absurdly fast.
Before leaving, Ethan naturally said farewell to Landorus.
"Thanks. Without you, this wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Landorus had done more than restore vegetation.
It had:
Regrown lumber for rebuilding homesStabilized soil and farmlandPersonally "disciplined" Tornadus and Thundurus
And Landorus' discipline?
Simple.
Physical.
Extremely direct.
Despite being only one stage higher than the two storm gods—
In actual combat, it completely suppressed them.
Steadier.
Sharper.
Decisive.
The Unexpected Offer
"If you don't want to manage them," Landorus said calmly,
"Leave them here."
Ethan blinked.
This was exactly what he'd secretly hoped for.
Two Divine-tier troublemakers were not assets—
They were liabilities.
"Would that trouble you?"
Landorus glanced sideways.
"Worst case, I beat them again."
Ethan: "…Respect."
Tornadus & Thundurus: "???"
"No! I'm not staying here!"
"Me neither!"
Their protests were completely ignored.
Decision made.
Ethan turned to leave with Victor.
Below, the island residents waved in gratitude.
And among them—
Two teary storm gods.
They exchanged a look.
Wait.
An idea sparked.
Tornadus suddenly shot into the air.
"Wait! Will you be my Trainer?! I'll follow you!"
Thundurus followed immediately.
"Me too!"
It clicked for them.
Being Ethan's Pokémon meant:
No daily beatings from LandorusRespectResourcesStructured growth
Ethan examined them carefully.
"Can you follow my commands?"
"Yes!"
"Absolutely!"
He paused for several seconds.
Then nodded.
"Alright."
System Notification
[Golden Opportunity Detected — Dual Storms' Allegiance]
[Critical Hit ×618]
[Six-Color Opportunity Acquired]
Ethan's eyes sharpened.
Six-Color.
That was beyond Gold.
The moment the system finished—
The sky darkened.
Violent winds swept across Three-Cloud Island.
Thunderclouds formed instantly.
Residents panicked.
Victor released his Pokémon instinctively.
Landorus surged upward—
Ready to suppress them again.
"Wait!" Ethan shouted.
"They're breaking through."
He'd seen this phenomenon many times.
Critical amplification.
Divine-tier resonance.
The winds intensified—
Energy poured into Tornadus.
Lightning rained directly onto Thundurus.
Bolts struck him repeatedly—
Yet instead of harm—
His aura surged wildly.
The scene looked apocalyptic.
But Ethan remained calm.
Within minutes—
The storm ceased.
The clouds dispersed.
Silence returned.
Both storm gods hovered midair.
Their presence—
Heavier.
Sharper.
More stable.
Divine Stage One—
Advancing.
Not yet Stage Two.
But undeniably strengthened.
They descended slowly.
And this time—
When they looked at Ethan—
There was no arrogance.
Only respect.
