The next instant.
The reporters from Little Orange TV Station, who thought everything had ended, along with Heavenly King Ke Na and others, suddenly heard three angry growls coming from the sky.
Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno, who had been in a chaotic rage just moments before, seemed to be provoked by something again. Raging, they cried out in the sky and flew together in one direction.
Lugia and Ho-Oh, after a moment of silence, also followed in flight.
This scene completely baffled Ke Na, Mikkeli, Dr. Omu, and others.
What confused them the most was that Fang Yuan was also mounting his Dragonite and following them.
Everyone exchanged glances and looked at Xiaozhi, who was being scolded by Hanako, hoping to ask him what was going on.
Xiaozhi: "I... I don't know anything."
.........
Ice Island was too crowded and chaotic for Fang Yuan's grand plans.
He summoned Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the Three Foolish Birds to Fire Island.
Fire Island.
Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the Three Foolish Birds, five Legendary Pokémon each perched on a mountain peak, with Fang Yuan and Eevee at the center.
At this point, Fang Yuan didn't know if Moltres had mentioned him to Articuno and Zapdos, but Lugia probably didn't know his identity for now.
Fang Yuan began by introducing himself.
"...And so, to avoid space-time collapse, I was entrusted by the World Tree Dreams and, with the help of Celebi, came to this time and space to collect Arceus' tablets, among which the Ice, Fire, and Lightning tablets, according to my investigation, had fallen onto the Orange Archipelago."
The Three Divine Birds were silent—yes, they had picked them up.
"To think it's a traveler from a different time and space..."
Meanwhile, as Fang Yuan finished speaking, Poseidon unexpectedly looked at Fang Yuan with respect, thinking from the start that the Trainer who rode Ho-Oh was very special. Now that Fang Yuan had introduced himself, Lugia immediately showed its reverence.
Managing just the Orange Archipelago was difficult enough, and here was Fang Yuan, working for the safety of the whole space-time continuum... Impressive.
"However, surely you all have noticed that now... on Fire Island, Ice Island, and Thunder Island, the fluctuations from the tablets have completely disappeared."
"While we were dealing with the climatic anomalies, someone stole the tablets."
"And, I suspect, the person who wanted to capture you, Articuno, and those who stole the tablets, are in cahoots."
"One party created a huge distraction in the open to attract the attention of you Three Divine Birds, while the other took advantage of the weather anomaly to steal the tablets in secret. Since the climate was already abnormal, by taking the tablets during that confusion, you wouldn't notice amid the chaos."
Fang Yuan, Eevee, and Victini were furious... It was infuriating, and they hoped the Three Divine Birds would take it upon themselves to retrieve what was theirs.
"Chirp——!!" Upon hearing Fang Yuan's explanation, the Three Divine Birds were indeed furious, almost to the point of explosion.
Whether it was stealing the tablets or attempting to capture them, it was unforgivable.
They shuddered to think about the incident.
Thankfully, the ones who felt the disturbance this time and came were the relatively mild Ho-Oh and Lugia. Had they awakened that true ruler slumbering in the ocean, or the monster in the ozone layer, the three of them would have been in big trouble.
The other party would not appease their spirits and "souls" like Ho-Oh and Lugia, and would not care about human or Wild elf habitats, simply eliminating them.
Those few that survived from the Mythical Era didn't care what the world would become, as long as they were happy.
"Chirp——!!" The Three Divine Birds roared again in rage. Though they had regained their senses, the more they thought about it, the angrier they got, wishing they could tear those human culprits to shreds.
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet!" However, just then, Lugia, using Mind Induction, called the Three Divine Birds to order. Did these three hotheaded creatures even know why the Orange Archipelago's climate was the most prone to anomalies?
It was because, despite their Legendary Level strength, their Mental Power had not reached the corresponding level, making them susceptible to the backlash of the Power of Nature or Rage.
Lugia, although also angry at some humans for disturbing nature, was somewhat more restrained.
"Since the tablets are lost, let's find a way to get them back," Ho-Oh said to Fang Yuan. "Do you know who stole the tablets?"
Fang Yuan had been waiting for Ho-Oh to say this and immediately nodded.
"Mewtwo," Fang Yuan requested.
The next second, white light swirled around Fang Yuan, and Mewtwo appeared calmly at his side.
"Time to turn back," Fang Yuan said.
"The final billion times?" Mewtwo asked in return.
"Yes, the final billion times," Fang Yuan nodded.
Mewtwo: "......"
Ho-Oh and Lugia were seeing Mewtwo for the first time.
Although Ho-Oh had sensed Mewtwo's presence before, it was nevertheless from another dimension.
This time, as Mewtwo truly appeared, both Legendary Pokémon felt a jolt in their spirits, sensing a familiar presence from Mewtwo.
Dream.
This Pokémon's aura, although not entirely identical to Mew, was remarkably similar.
An illegitimate child?
Ho-Oh was astounded in an instant; after all, Fang Yuan was a World Tree Guardian, so could this Legendary Pokémon that followed Fang Yuan be Mew's illegitimate child??
Ho-Oh felt its worldview was being challenged.
It had never expected that its good friend would end up like this.
With Mewtwo's appearance, the purpose was to reenact what happened on Fire Island. It slowly lifted its arm, and the next moment, a Spirit orb gathered in its palm. The orb expanded rapidly, soon enveloping a large portion of Fire Island.
