Chapter 180

Facing the pressure given by Walking Wake, Zoroark had to fight with all its strength. It eagerly wanted to get the other party's recognition. Under the effect of the Illusion ability, Zoroark directly turned into the same appearance as Walking Wake!

In the theatrical version "Zoroark: Master of Illusions," the illusion created by Zoroark that appeared in Crown City could keep the Shiny Legendary Beasts hard-controlled on the spot. And this Zoroark, carefully cultivated by N, is not weaker than the one in the theatrical version in terms of ability!

"Ow?" Walking Wake looked at Zoroark curiously. The other party turned into its appearance, which made Walking Wake snort disdainfully, and muttered.

Pirated is pirated. The king is fake, the hero is also fake, and even the behavior of the subordinates is inclined to disguise and imitation. Your kingdom, really doesn't have anything real!

Looking at it this way, the trainer I chose is better!

This sentence suddenly made Zoroark stunned, with a look of shame on its face, but soon it manifested as anger!

"I won't allow you to say that about N! Legendary Dragon, I have already tolerated you again and again."

"Do you think N is not as good as the owner of this workshop... Then, I ask you to listen carefully to N's ideals... Please make a decision again."

When Zoroark said this sentence, it was a bit bottomless. After all, it was directly plucked of a large piece of hair by the other party when it first encountered Walking Wake, almost becoming a bald Zoroark.

But Walking Wake's words seriously stimulated Zoroark's heart... And, talking about the owner of this workshop, Zoroark only learned that there was a human here from the description of the Three Swordsmen, but it hadn't seen him until now.

However, being able to gather so many Pokémon, and even Legendary Pokémon, to live peacefully here, even if this is something that can only be done in the Dream World, it is enough to surprise Zoroark.

This human is indeed not to be underestimated. It's just that I don't know if he is in the Unova region in the real world... He is very likely to become a powerful competitor of N.

Moreover, the Legendary Dragon has already recognized this human... This made a strong sense of urgency arise in Zoroark's heart!

"N is for the sake of liberating all Pokémon. N wants to turn this world into a world of Pokémon. He wants to see things that no one else can see. The ideals of Pokémon in Poké Balls, the truth of trainers, and the future where Pokémon become complete existences... For this, he must obtain power, obtain power that makes everyone affirm him. To solve that equation that changes the world... There are many Pokémon who think N is their friend, I don't want you to offend N..."

"If you feel he has been offended, it only shows that you have such thoughts in your heart from the beginning. It seems that you don't necessarily agree with his ideals, but only ignore this point because of being too loyal."

Cobalion, who was not smiling, commented lightly, but hit Zoroark's heart directly, which made it angry and annoyed, and Walking Wake's attitude toward Cobalion improved!

Hey! The goat with horns on its head, it seems you are not that annoying!

I didn't expect you to speak for me!

"A pirated hero is also a hero. In short, as long as the future in N's ideals comes, then it is enough to be called a true hero."

Zoroark said so. It firmed its heart, but Terrakion laughed out loud:

"In a sense, maybe you are more qualified to be called a hero than your trainer now. Will he have such a firm belief? Won't he waver after being defeated a few times?"

"No, N will not appear in that kind of... That adult's belief is firmer than mine." Zoroark almost didn't hesitate too much, trying hard to save face for N, and actively preached to other Pokémon, but every answer of the Three Swordsmen would hit the fragile points of its words, making Zoroark exhausted to deal with.

And at the same time, not far from the farmland, the Light Stone placed at the bottom of the curry pot and the Dark Stone charging in the workshop hut were also silently releasing their power, carefully listening to every move of the Pokémon on the floating island.

Hmm? A successor... who wants to obtain power... who wants to imitate the story of the founding hero?

The Light Stone and Dark Stone did not expect that someone would actively look for them, and from this Zoroark's "preaching," it could be learned that its master possessed lofty ideals. This point made the Dark Stone appreciate it, but it had no attraction to the Light Stone.

Ideals are things that only exist in the distant future. Therefore, if you want to turn ideals into actual visible things, you must possess power. This is truth.

There is no big problem with the policy from the action, but Cobalion's words also hit the nail on the head.

If the Pokémon as his agent does not even firmly believe in its master's ideals in the process of preaching, then how can it get the Legendary Dragon to obtain recognition?

It's not because N's ideals are not extreme enough to attract interest. In fact, the Black and White Dragons themselves already understand that only people who are extremely obsessed with ideals and truth are qualified to be called heroes, because the hearts of such people will not be easily shaken, and they will always maintain their initial concepts.

Dark Stone: 【There can be many candidates for heroes, but if he can make his Pokémon trust him unconditionally, then this trainer is also a person worth watching. It's just that Cobalion and Terrakion are right, whether he has the capacity to become a hero depends on what he actually does...】

Light Stone: 【To this extent, that is stepping into the realm of truth. When he understands the huge difference between the real world and the ideal world, he might abandon his ideals. Even if that is the case, you still intend to favor him? Since that's the case, make your choice quickly!】

Dark Stone: 【Uh... I know you are instigating me, but I didn't say I would give up the previous candidate. Hmm, at least now in terms of candidates, this new person is ranked very far behind.】

Light Stone was very unhappy.

Hmph, this black dragon still hasn't given up... There are so many people in the world who pursue ideals, you can just pick one to assist, hurry up and leave the workshop!

Whoosh—

In the meditation labyrinth, Mewtwo walked out. As a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon, it was also listening to everything that happened here.

Calyrex had already recruited many Pokémon, and they started working under the king's call. Mewtwo originally intended to help them get the land and sowing all in one step, but looking at the Pokémon full of vitality and enthusiasm, Mewtwo shook its head on its own.

The plants planted by the Pokémon themselves have a different meaning for them. Sometimes, one should also appropriately restrain psychic power.

Mewtwo saw Calyrex waving and said hello, indicating that it would go over soon. At the same time, Mewtwo noticed that many Psychic-type Pokémon were secretly peeping at it.

As a Psychic-type Pokémon, its power would arouse the envy of other Psychic-type Pokémon, so Mewtwo invited them to go to the meditation labyrinth together to practice, and indicated that it would teach them advanced techniques for using powerful psychic power.

"Power is not something that cannot be granted to me. If you want to become stronger, then practice with me."

Mewtwo smiled. Having untied the knot in its heart, it had a very strong affinity. Those Psychic-type Pokémon began to whisper, their expressions full of expectation.

Gothitelle, who was listening to Calyrex's speech before, was among them.

Oh my, powerful Psychic-type Pokémon are gathered together, how lucky!

My master is about to be promoted to the Elite Four recently, so I can't lose face for her! Just take this opportunity to practice psychic power well! Want to secretly become stronger and then amaze everyone!

And on the other side of the labyrinth, the battle between Walking Wake and Zoroark ended without suspense. Walking Wake won. The ancient dragon shook its head and tail, issuing the usual mocking sound.

It's just that Mewtwo floated slowly to Zoroark's side.

"Zoroark... your heart is shaking violently."

Mewtwo looked at the listless Zoroark, facing the inquiring eyes of the Three Swordsmen, and smiled slightly:

"Whether it is humans or Pokémon, we are all living lives on this world. No matter who it is, no one has the qualification to deprive all of this. At the same time, in order to make the world richer, you and your master must accept different thoughts."

"I read from your heart the part of the will instilled in you by your master. However, humans and humans are different. Narrow thinking will only trap yourself in a dark room. Your master must open the window to see the real world."

"The me of the past once took such a detour. Destruction, ruin, madness, self-questioning, confusion... Now I convey all this to you. If your master really listens to your heart, then this passage can also be conveyed to him."

Looking at Zoroark's confused eyes, Mewtwo did not continue to say more. Some truths are not something that can be comprehended by "instilling," just like the self of the past. Giovanni instilled various destruction and fighting, and even the cognition of ruling the world into itself, so it stubbornly believed that that was the meaning of its existence.

There must be external force to correct such a person, and according to the legend of the Unova region... perhaps the legend of the two heroes will soon reappear on that distant land.

Light Stone: 【Look, when it comes to ideals, isn't Mewtwo's ideal better? Isn't the bond between humans and Pokémon vividly displayed on it?】

Dark Stone: 【Hmm... theoretically speaking, as a Pokémon created by humans, Mewtwo also has the qualification to bear the hero. It should be said that in those novels written by humans, such an existence with a strange background and complex past is more suitable for bearing those great missions... Hey, if you talk about this, can't Mewtwo also be considered a true hero?】

If you talk about this, there are too many candidates for heroes!

The two stones recognized Mewtwo's philosophy again, while Zoroark left the dream realm with regret. Its figure disappeared vaguely. Immediately after, the sound of hoofbeats rang from the other side of the rainbow bridge.

"He-he!" A small pony with a gorgeous mane stepped onto this floating island: "Masters, I'm here! Where is the 'companion' you said who can learn the Sacred Sword?"
