Pokemon: Spiritual Master-Chapter 594: What’s Meant to Come Will Eventually Come

"Mimi!"

Victini suddenly realized that its invisibility had worn off because the macaron was too hot.

It immediately jolted and turned to flee.

But turning around, it found...

"Ka-kaah!"

Behind it was Gengar making a terrifying ghost face, pulling at its mouth and eyes to create an extremely exaggerated expression.

"Mimi!!!"

Victini was so frightened that it trembled, every hair on its body standing on end, looking completely puffed up.

"Ka-kaah?"

Seeing this, Gengar picked its nose.

Little one, your psychological resilience is poor. Let Johan help you improve it, shall we?

"Gengar." Johan stepped forward, lightly tapping Gengar's head, "If we're counting age, this little one might be older than you."

"Ka-kaah?"

Gengar was dumbfounded.

Older than me?

I'm a thousand-year-old ghost...

Johan reached out his hand, picked up the frightened Victini from the ground, and gently dusted off the dirt.

"Are you okay?"

Victini finally came to its senses, its eyes welling with tears.

"Mimi..."

"So it's Victini."

By now, Cynthia and the others had also noticed the little creature with a V on its head.

"Victini?" Flint, however, seemed not to have heard of it before.

"Victini, the Victory Pokémon, Psychic and Fire-type. It's said to be a Pokémon that brings victory—trainers who carry Victini will continue to win battles, Roto!"

Rotom Dex immediately realized its role and hastily demonstrated its usefulness.

"Victory? Fire-type?"

Flint's eyes instantly lit up.

In his view, didn't this perfectly complement his Pokémon?

Being both Fire-type and able to bring continuous victory, if he carried Victini, wouldn't he be able to punch the boss and kick Teacher Johan?

"Mi-Mimi..."

Seemingly noticing Flint's fiery gaze, Victini quickly hid behind Johan, cautiously peeking out at him.

In Victini's view.

Flint also had an extremely strong desire for victory, but...

His chances of victory were really... quite dim!

How could someone keep losing without becoming dejected, yet still desire victory so strongly?

Defeated repeatedly but continuing to fight!

Victini actually liked this quality, but it was a bit afraid of Flint's gaze.

"Flint, don't scare the little one," Johan said.

Hearing this, Flint came to his senses and somewhat embarrassedly scratched his head, smiling awkwardly:

"Was I caught? Hahaha——I just wanted to... see if I could catch it."

Catch Victini?

Johan's expression turned strange.

As a mythical Pokémon, Victini was not without battle power...

Its "V-create" move and "Final Gambit" alone showed some characteristics of this kind of Pokémon.

Moreover.

Although Victini wasn't an "Eon Pokémon," it possessed the quality of "infinite energy" even more than Latios and Latias, who were known as "Eon Pokémon."

"As a friend, I'll give you some advice—don't think about catching it in battle."

"Eh?" Flint was startled.

Johan shook his head, no longer paying attention to him, and turned back to Victini.

"Did the hot food burn your mouth? Try this..."

As he spoke, Johan took out an energy cube made for Ninetales.

"Mimi?"

Victini carefully accepted it, tentatively taking a small bite. Its large blue round eyes suddenly sparkled brilliantly.

"Mimi!!"

Delicious!!

It was cool and refreshing, completely removing the burning sensation from before.

Johan smiled and patted its head, though inwardly he was bemused—a Fire-type Pokémon afraid of heat?

"Yoji!"

At this moment, Larvitar, standing by Johan's feet with hands on hips, puffed up its cheeks, looking at Victini with a "I'm very angry" expression.

"Mi-Mimi..."

Victini realized its mistake and quickly descended, apologizing to Larvitar.

Sorry, sorry...

It had stolen Larvitar's macaron and had paid the price.

Seeing Victini admit its mistake, Larvitar's stern expression immediately softened. It grabbed a macaron that had cooled down a bit and handed it to Victini.

"Yoji!"

This one's cooled down, eat it!

"Mimi?"

Really?

"Yoji yoji!"

Larvitar looked generous, casually waving its hand.

Of course!

Follow me from now on, I'll protect you, and guarantee you'll eat and drink well!

As it spoke, it patted Victini's shoulder.

Larvitar's strength was not small, and Victini's body dipped with each pat, though it didn't feel pain. It just kept nodding, showing its little fangs, and making a V-sign with its hand.

"Mimi! Mimi!"

Johan, watching nearby, had question marks appear above his head.

Had Larvitar just recruited a follower?

That way of speaking was becoming more and more like Gengar's style.

Looking like a gang leader.

"Ka-kaah?"

Gengar also scratched its head, showing question marks, looking at Johan, then at Victini, and finally at Larvitar.

It extended its hand, muttering while counting on its fingers.

"Ka-kaah... Ka-kaah..."

Possibly older than me, recruited by Larvitar as a follower, and Larvitar is a follower of my follower, so that means...

This relationship is so complicated.

However, Victini and Larvitar seemed to have truly become "friends after a fight," and they quickly started playing together.

"So Victini is in Eindoak Town..."

Watching the little one comparing heights with Larvitar, but yielding to Larvitar's head spikes, Cynthia sat on the picnic blanket and smiled.

Johan sat down beside her with a plate of macarons, picked one up, and said, "Ah—"

"Mmm—"

Cynthia instinctively opened her mouth, not expecting that Johan was actually going to feed her.

"Oowoo!"

Caitlin pounced like a "hungry tiger," blocking Cynthia and snatching the macaron from Johan's hand.

She put on a protective stance.

Cynthia's cheeks immediately turned rosy.

Johan: "..."

You really...

Flint, our old Johan family will remember this grudge!

Johan coughed lightly, "Actually, Victini has always been in Eindoak Town."

"Always been here?"

"I once saw an ancient text that recorded the true reason and process of Eindoak Town's birth, where Victini played a very important role..."

Johan then began to simply narrate some of the plot he knew.

What Cynthia had said yesterday about the legend of the Sword of the Earth was accurate, but there was one key element not mentioned.

That was, to stop the chaotic Dragon Vein caused by the two princes, their father, the old king, used ancient magic and Victini's infinite power to move the Sword of the Earth from the distant valley to here.

But after the Sword of the Earth landed, the old king died from exhaustion, yet the seal he had placed couldn't be undone. Victini was forever imprisoned within the seal, in Eindoak Town.

The stone monuments scattered around Eindoak Town were actually the pillars of the seal.

And it had been trapped here for thousands of years.

"So... this little one has been trapped here living alone for thousands of years?"

Both Caitlin and Cynthia looked at Victini with more sympathy and pity in their eyes.

If Johan hadn't mentioned it, just looking at how happy the little one was now, no one could have guessed the loneliness it had experienced.

Actually...

Victini and Mew, who was "bound" to the Tree of Beginning, were quite similar.

Except Mew could leave the Tree of Beginning for short periods, while Victini had been sealed here all along.

"Should we..." Cynthia pursed her lips, looking at Johan, "help it?"

Johan nodded slightly.

Before coming to Eindoak Town, he had also considered Victini's situation.

But Victini was the kind of Pokémon that, if it didn't want to be seen, no one would find it.

Originally, Johan had planned to let it be if they didn't encounter it—in a couple of years, Ash would come to rescue it anyway. But since they had met...

"Helpful Johan" was online!

Helping Pokémon in need was something Johan had always taken seriously. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But how to help was also a question.

The seal that confined Victini was not simple.

In the original movie, even Reshiram and Zekrom exerting their powers together couldn't shatter the seal's stone monuments.

Of course, that was after the Dragon Vein's energy had backflowed, further strengthening the seal.

In the end, it was Ash's tears that input the correct "password," and Victini's power surge that broke the seal.

"But perhaps without the Dragon Vein power backflow, a single Reshiram or Zekrom might be able to break the seal?"

After all, it was a seal that had been inactive for a thousand years. If its power was really so formidable, the ancient battle between the brothers Reshiram and Zekrom couldn't have happened.

Zekrom was with N, as for Reshiram...

Johan's gaze passed over the layers of houses, landing on the mountain where the Sword of the Earth was embedded.

Was Reshiram most likely still sleeping beneath the Sword of the Earth?

"No, no, no..."

Johan shook his head.

To be safe, it was better not to disturb Reshiram for now. Perhaps Darkrai's power would be enough.

After all, Darkrai prided itself on being able to hold its own against anyone.

So.

They would wait for Darkrai to arrive first.

It was quite a distance from Sinnoh to Unova, after all.

Moreover, Darkrai wouldn't fight alone—they also had the "ultimate support" Victini and Meloetta's "battle song."

It was all set up perfectly.

The lively battle festival continued until evening.

Johan was stopped halfway through because he caused too much commotion, but Flint battled happily.

It was evident that when it came to bullying weaker opponents, Flint was definitely skilled.

He didn't make his opponents feel weak; rather, he made them feel they were close, just a little bit away from winning!

"Teacher Johan, Miss Cynthia, Miss Caitlin, and Mr. Flint."

The mayor found Johan's group again.

"This is Miss Carlita and her mother, Ms. Juanita. They are true 'People of the Earth.'"

Carlita was the girl with the shiny Hydreigon, and her mother Juanita was a woman selling "Victini merchandise" on the street.

They were People of the Earth who had always lived near the Sword of the Earth. Only with their permission could Johan's group enter the Sword of the Earth.

Although Johan also knew there was a small path to sneak up to the Sword of the Earth, but...

It was better to be straightforward.

And in fact, upon learning that Johan's group wanted to visit the Sword of the Earth, Juanita and the other People of the Earth showed no opposition whatsoever.

Today's Sword of the Earth welcomed strong trainers to visit.

After greetings were exchanged, they followed Carlita and Juanita up the stairs leading to the Sword of the Earth.

Along the way.

Juanita kept introducing stories about the Sword of the Earth, the origins of the People of the Earth, the history of Eindoak Town, and so on.

Cynthia used the Rotom Dex to record audio and take photos, collecting materials.

"Reshiram and Zekrom transformed into Dragon Stones and are sleeping somewhere beneath the Sword of the Earth," Juanita said in her gentle voice.

"Wait," Johan suddenly said, "As for Zekrom... it's already awake."

"Awake?" Juanita and Carlita were both surprised.

Cynthia and the others, having heard about Johan and N's story, knew that Zekrom had already acknowledged the King of Team Plasma.

In the forest outside Eindoak Town, Unova region.

"This is the place," Colress looked at the map on his tablet and said calmly.

"Dragon Vein?" Ghetsis narrowed his eyes.

"And Reshiram," Colress added.

"Excellent!"

Ghetsis revealed a satisfied smile.

His mere adopted son had somehow gained Zekrom's acknowledgment and wanted to become the true King of Team Plasma?

Ghetsis would never allow the "dog" he had raised for over a decade to suddenly disobey and turn against him.

You have Zekrom?

Then he would awaken and control Reshiram, and with Colress's machine to strengthen it, he could dominate Zekrom!

After dealing with N, with both the black and white dragons in his possession, he could easily unify all of Unova!

The ambition in Ghetsis's eyes could not be suppressed.

And beside him was someone whose madness was equally uncontrollable—Colress.

He swiped through his tablet.

"The Dragon Vein of the homeland of the Earth! Let's see how much enhancement it can bring to Landorus, the God of Abundance!"

"Boom!!"

Suddenly.

The ground in the distant forest exploded, and a terrible red light burst from the cracks.

"Land!!!"

Rumble——

The Sword of the Earth castle suddenly began to shake.

"Mimi!!!"

Victini tightly hugged Larvitar's head spike.

Earthquake!

"Yo-Yoji..."

Larvitar just felt... its head was so heavy, like it was growing a brain...

"Victini?!" Carlita saw the revealed Victini with a shocked face.

So Victini really was in Eindoak Town?

"What's happening?" Juanita was also surprised by Victini's sudden appearance, but she was more concerned about the earthquake.

Johan took a deep breath.

What's meant to come will eventually come...

He looked at Flint, quite irritated:

"See? Wherever you are, there's bound to be trouble."

Flint shrank his neck, weakly saying:

"Is it possible this isn't my fault?"

"See, you're being stubborn again. Cynthia, Flint says you're a jinx."

Flint: "???"
