Chapter 190: Do You Want to Become the Rainbow Hero, Doublade?

"The time we were born is too short, and many things cannot be figured out..."

When Suicune talked to himself, he was also stunned.

From a long time ago, the Ho-Oh Guard existed as legendary Pokémon, and those humans also viewed the three legendary beasts this way. But now, facing some unknowns and secrets they couldn't figure out, they could only attribute it to their own young age and not knowing many things.

This... is quite wonderful.

Saying something about another ancient self... I didn't look like that before I was burned to death!

But Suicune's thoughts turned.

He really wanted to see that ancient dragon that was quite similar to himself, although he felt that he and it should have no common topics...

If Ho-Oh were to see these Paradox Pokémon, it would surely widen its eyes in astonishment! Or perhaps, could Ho-Oh already know them, and used their images to create the Legendary Beasts?

Sure enough, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense. This is the origin of the "paradox" of Paradox Pokémon.

"If there is a chance, I will introduce you to meet, but Suicune... plus Walking Wake, it seems there are three."

The number of Entei is so large that they can open a mountain and work alone, but Raikou and Suicune can actually do it too. After all, another set of Ho-Oh Guard might exist in Wang Guan City in the Sinnoh region. Those shiny three legendary beasts are the color of shiny, and as for why they appeared and guarded Wang Guan City... those three shiny legendary beasts seem to have something to do with Celebi. As for the rest, go ask Ho-Oh.

Of course, if you count it this way, "Entei" becomes four.

Suicune closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. He thought about some things, made a low moan to Xiang Guangtai, which was an invitation.

It was also a... challenge!

Because the identity of the person in front of him is special, Suicune intends to inform Ho-Oh about Xiang Guangtai... assuming they can find Ho-Oh's location in the near future.

Hmm, if you want to play memes, isn't Ho-Oh nearby acting as a photographer? After all, Ash is still here.

Ho-Oh Breaking News, bringing you daily Pokémon information. Next is the footage sent by front-line reporter Fearow, let's turn to the scene...

It's hard to know what Ho-Oh does every day. Other legendary beasts basically have things to do, and those who have nothing to do are sleeping. Even Lugia, the corresponding Pokémon of Ho-Oh, has to be busy reconciling the struggles of the three legendary birds in the Orange Islands and the direction of the world's ocean currents.

Only Ho-Oh flies around every day, doing nothing, and can't find a trace except for dropping feathers. The answer can only be "he went to take pictures everywhere."

The special edition gave a reason for Ho-Oh's frequent disappearance. He was beaten to his knees and captured as a servant by the Masked Man.

Of course, in the Ranger work of the side story, it was slightly "explained" where Ho-Oh went... He was summoned to Oblivia to support the falling Sky Fortress and save the world.

Entei on the side opened his mouth slightly, and it could be seen that his expression was full of surprise.

"Taking the initiative to challenge others... we rarely do this kind of thing." Entei couldn't help but think of Gouging Fire, who fought side by side before. That guy fought with the phantom Entei for a long time. It seems... Suicune is also a bit unable to hold back.

Hands are itchy, eager to fight!

Pokémon battle itself is a part of the ecological habits of Pokémon. Even legendary Pokémon will not be spared. Appropriate "fighting" is beneficial to physical and mental health.

And as legendary Pokémon... uh, actually, most of the time, they are the ones being challenged.

The three legendary beasts still have a lot of prestige in Johto and Kanto. Many young trainers will immediately enter a fantasy time when they hear their names, fantasizing about defeating any one of the three legendary beasts in one battle, and then capturing them in a flash, thereby dominating the League and becoming a Pokémon Champion...

Every day, such energetic young trainers are looking for them. People who want to become legendary trainers are everywhere.

And testing these challengers, observing their bonds, tacit understanding, and personality with Pokémon, is also one of the jobs of the Ho-Oh Guard. What kind of ending humans and Pokémon will eventually head towards can be glimpsed from the behavior of these trainers.

So unlike other legendary Pokémon that are challenged, the three legendary beasts are very willing to accept the challenges of human trainers and make reviews and evaluations.

For example, the boy named Ash in this group.

As the Rainbow Hero, although he is not very strong now, his bond with Pokémon, his pure heart, and his courage that doesn't know whether to call it reckless or fearless, made Entei and Suicune give him very high scores.

The child is a bit reckless, but his heart is good!

As for other legendary Pokémon... I hope those young trainers are prepared with Max Revives and escape tools when they challenge them, and I hope those legendary Pokémon don't have too much of a morning temper.

"If you have time, how about coming to Ecruteak City with that Pokémon named Walking Wake? Let's set the agreed battle location there."

"Perhaps Lord Ho-Oh will be very interested in you. It seems to have some secrets with Sinjoh..."

"Also... do you want to participate in the Rainbow Trial?"

The Rainbow Trial is a trial given to heroes. Although the definition is very high-end, in fact, the entry ticket for the Rainbow Trial, "Rainbow Wing," is held by many people. Its threshold is not particularly high. In the game, the Rainbow Wing is even picked up by the TV station manager when renovating the tower.

Some people even had lofty ambitions when they were young, but gave up halfway, and finally became ordinary passersby.

Even... you can participate in this trial without the Rainbow Wing.

It's just missing a "proctor in the shadows." Besides, that guy is not a good person to talk to. It's more convenient without him, and the danger is reduced.

And the purpose of inviting Xiang Guangtai is very clear... This guy is a "legendary human"... Let's just refer to him like this! A wonderful human who can make ancient stone tablets, just like human trainers who will spend years chasing legendary Pokémon and rare Pokémon.

Now Suicune's view of Xiang Guangtai is like those humans who chase rare Pokémon!

A rare out-of-print card that doesn't exist in the Pokédex was drawn from the card pool. You have to take a good look at what's going on, right?

Anyway, the threshold for heroes is not high. If you can cheat one, you can cheat one. As for the bond with Pokémon... the previous "Sacred Sword" has already explained everything! Suicune has never seen or heard of that move!

Besides, just like what Entei said.

When encountering difficulties, having one more helper means one more choice, one more guarantee, and one more chance of winning.

As time changes, the technology of those villains with evil hearts is getting more and more powerful!

Not long ago, the three legendary birds of ice, fire, and thunder in the Orange Islands were all caught and almost became collectibles. Lugia, the God of the Sea, also fell into a bitter battle, causing the climate of the entire Kanto and Johto regions to change drastically, almost causing the collapse of the ecological environment.

Facing these increasingly strong villain organizations that are constantly looking for super technology, we "original ecological Pokémon" cannot indulge in the powerful power of the past, and we must find some smart human helpers!

However, modern technology has a strong sense of alienation and strangeness to them, so going the other way and pursuing lost ancient technology is not a bad idea!

Strengthening depends on archaeology. There are many good things in ancient times!

In the past, there was ancient technology, but no suitable candidates to use it.

Now both technology and candidates are in place, right!

Hmm, maybe Lord Ho-Oh's temporary disappearance from near Johto is because he ran to find lost ancient technology. It is said that in many regions, Lord Ho-Oh has a very deep connection with those ancient technologies.

"The true meaning of the Rainbow Trial," Entei whispered: "Stories circulating in human society, legends say that people who see Lord Ho-Oh will gain eternal happiness, and that power actually comes from humans and Pokémon themselves."

"That is the Aura of happiness, an extraordinary ability. Lord Ho-Oh can feel this energy from high altitude, so all lives living on the earth, sky, and ocean can possess this power, and the Aura of happiness will also make Lord Ho-Oh's power rise."

"Although the threshold for the hero's trial is low, so far almost no one has understood this Aura. Even the people personally selected by Lord Ho-Oh have not obtained it."

"So, gaining eternal happiness is just a legend, because no one can do it." When Entei said this, his eyes were not looking at Xiang Guangtai, but at Ash behind him.

Hmm... If you talk about the best-performing Rainbow Hero recently... of course it's this child. He will become the "Dual Hero of Aura and Rainbow."

There are as many fake heroes as you want!

But real heroes... whoever can understand the true meaning of this trial is the real hero!

"If you can understand the Aura of happiness... then you will definitely be valued by Lord Ho-Oh, and your life will change."

Entei's gaze moved back, and he scanned everyone: "Many people here meet the conditions for understanding this Aura, but how to understand the true meaning... that is the training you have to do yourself on the journey."

"People who hold the Rainbow Wing will accept the trials and observations from our three legendary beasts."

However, what Entei said sounded like "roaring" to ordinary people. Only Xiang Guangtai could understand the language of Entei and Suicune.

The Aura of happiness is a setting that appeared in the movie "I Choose You." So, Xiang Guangtai couldn't help thinking that maybe Ho-Oh chose Ash in the first place because Ash himself possessed a very strong "Aura talent."

And, he can also make his Pokémon have happiness. Ash protects and loves his Pokémon unconditionally. With these two conditions, both innate and acquired are satisfied, making him the best candidate for a hero.

In contrast, it is the evil Aura, which is triggered by an evil heart and will weaken Ho-Oh's power. But this raises another problem. Pure villains are unlikely to practice Aura, so even if villains are evil, their hearts are dirty and filthy, or they think they have lofty ideals, they cannot master the ability of Aura.

Moreover, among the various special abilities in the Pokémon world, the power of Aura is the most civilian power. All lives possess Aura. As long as you practice accordingly, you can master it all, and Aura is a "fluctuation."

If the move Aura Sphere can only be learned by a small number of Pokémon, then common moves like "Water Pulse," "Dragon Pulse," "Dark Pulse," and "Heal Pulse" are likewise manifestations of the Aura!

By comparison, things like psychic power and spiritual ability rely much more on innate talent.

"Hmm, I do indeed need to go to Ecruteak City once, but the Rainbow Trial..."

Originally, there was indeed a need to head to Mt. Tensei, but now that I have obtained the Mythical Painting Craft, that need has diminished.

When it comes down to it, I only wanted to obtain high-level materials like the Rainbow Wing and Rainbow Rock; holding such thoughts, I would likely be unable to pass the true trial.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I am not a Trainer, perhaps I have no need to particip—" Before Guang Tai could finish his refusal, Dou Jianqiao floated over excitedly, interrupting Guang Tai's words of rejection with a high-pitched sound!

"Yo!"

Of course we must participate in this kind of trial!

This is an acknowledgment from "one of the gods," right! Do you still remember one of the requirements for founding a nation in ancient times? It required a powerful Legendary Pokémon to acknowledge the legitimacy and authority of the country!

"But... we have Calyrex. Regardless, in terms of legitimacy, Calyrex is the true King."

Guang Tai spread his hands.

Given Calyrex's current state of munching on carrots every day and having become familiar with everyone, even if Dou Jianqiao really intended to found a nation, Calyrex would absolutely be the first to raise a carrot in celebration and immediately initiate "carrot diplomacy."

Besides, there are also the Swords of Justice; as legendary swordsmen, their blessings and recognition are also extremely precious. Who knows, perhaps the ancient kings of Unova even received their well-wishes!

"Yo-woo~"

Dou Jianqiao waved its ribbons, revealing an expression of "no one understands this better than me"!

No one understands how to found a nation better than me!

As for "acknowledgment from a Legendary Pokémon," of course the more of this kind of acknowledgment, the better! I have made up my mind to gain the acknowledgment of all the Legendary Pokémon in the world! That is my ideal!

"What kind of ideal is this that you've suddenly come up with on a whim..." Guang Tai also slapped his own forehead.

Forget it, since it's something my own Pokémon wants to do.

Then let's go participate!

Anyway, this trial doesn't have a fixed start time; we can participate whenever.

"If that's the case... perhaps you are the true Rainbow Hero." Guang Tai pointed at Dou Jianqiao, his expression quite strange.

And as for myself, I'm just a logistics craftsman responsible for wholesaling Rainbow Wings.

Hmm, letting my own Pokémon all become some kind of hero... just like Zacian, the King of Swords of Galar? That actually doesn't sound too bad!

It's just, if you evolve into Aegislash and are crowned as a hero, do you also want to be the "King of Swords"? At that time, won't Zacian suddenly run over to challenge you, saying something meaningless like "the world does not need two swords of heroes"?

As for Ho-Oh being interested in me?

Aside from the Rainbow Trial and the happiness of the Aura, it wouldn't want me to help repair the Burned Tower or wholesale bells, would it?
