Chapter 250: Legend of Hisui

Xingyue nodded, stood up, and a cool voice echoed in the room: "When I was sorting the Galactic Team's ancient archives, I came across records of Arceus. The scriptures say it was born from chaos and created The Whole World."

"Later the world changed, and a Pokemon named Kyurem caused massive destruction because of its temperament."

"A legendary hero led ten Pokemon to challenge Kyurem but was ultimately defeated. At that moment, Dialga and Palkia appeared to assist, stabilizing the situation."

"Finally Arceus descended again, joining Dialga and Palkia, and exiled that world‑destroying Pokemon to the far side of the world."

"The descendants of those ten Pokemon became the rulers of the Hisui Region. Arceus, meanwhile, returned to its own world."

"The ancient people of the divine gate, to venerate Arceus, constructed a Temple for it atop the summit of the Tian Guan Mountain Foothills."

"Later, the people of the divine gate gradually disappeared from Galar Land. After an unknown length of time, a group of Sinnoh Almighty worshippers crossed the sea and divided into two factions. Both factions called themselves the people of the divine gate, denouncing the other's worship as that of a false god, and thus conflict and strife began."

She paused, then continued: "According to legend, Arceus possesses eighteen Stone Tablets, each linked to an element and granting it mastery over that element. It is the true Creator God and also the Creator of Dialga and Palkia."

"Creator…"

Gangshi and Zhubei were stunned, murmuring to themselves; Ami and Ju Yi also wore looks of disbelief.

They have always worshipped Dialga and Palkia as their respective Sinnoh Almighty, never having imagined that above those two "gods" there was a Creator God.

This realization completely upended their faith.

"Impossible… this is impossible…" Gangshi whispered repeatedly.

Although Zhubei was equally incredulous, he still asked: "You… have always known this, yet deliberately concealed it!"

Xingyue calmly replied: "These are merely ancient records uncovered by the Galactic Team; we have always regarded them as legend. If Huo La hadn't mentioned them, we wouldn't have taken the legend seriously."

Dr. Laventon adjusted his hat, his voice full of emotion: "I never imagined the legend could be true. That kid Huo La actually received help from the Creator God—truly incredible."

Ami and Ju Yi also stared at Huo La with shocked faces, their eyes filled with awe. Being saved by the Creator God was an unprecedented marvel.

Huo La was also shocked at that moment.

Although Hisui's history differed from what he knew, the appearance of the name Kyurem gave him a huge shock—completely beyond his expectations.

In later records, only Dialga, who controls time, and Palkia, who controls space, are mentioned—there is absolutely no reference to Kyurem.

Yet in legends from two thousand years ago, its existence is explicitly recorded.

What exactly occurred during those two thousand years that caused Kyurem to disappear completely from historical accounts?

As his thoughts swirled, Ma Jia Mu turned, his gaze falling heavily on Huo La, and said solemnly: "Huo La, Arceus saved you—did it say anything to you? For instance, why it appeared here, or whether it gave you any task?"

Huo La snapped back to his senses, his heart thudding—Ma Jia Mu was indeed sharp, getting straight to the point.

He pondered briefly, then chose to answer half‑truthfully, deliberately framing his purpose ambiguously and subtly hinting at a world crisis: "It said that only a fragment remains here. After dealing with Deoxys, the fragment's power was depleted. It instructed me to locate the Eighteen Plates in this world, then go to the Sinnoh Temple to awaken it. Beyond that, there is nothing else."

Ma Jia Mu stared at him for a while, as if weighing the truth of his words, then said gravely: "The Eighteen Plates scattered across Hisui? That is no trivial matter; we need to confer."

He paused, his tone softening: "You've just gone through so much; go back and get some proper rest."

"Yes, Captain." Huo La replied, standing up.

Just as Huo La turned to leave, Xingyue suddenly called out: "Huo La, wait a moment."

Huo La halted, turned back to her: "Star Moon Squad Leader, is there anything else?"

Xingyue's eyes fell on the Cyndaquil behind him, a hint of curiosity in her gaze: "Your Cyndaquil… evolved?"

Huo La was momentarily stunned, then smiled: "Well, on the way back I encountered many Wild Pokemon, and it evolved into a Camerupt."

Xingyue nodded, said no more, simply: "Rest well."

Huo La replied, and with the Camerupt and Eevee, turned and left the council hall.

Watching Huo La's silhouette disappear at the doorway, Ma Jia Mu let out a soft sigh, turned toward the people inside, and said gravely: "Do you think Huo La is speaking the truth?"

Dr. Laventon stroked his chin, pondered briefly, then said: "I consider the credibility to be high. He'd only just joined the Galactic Team, so he had no chance to encounter those ancient texts that record Arceus and the Stone Tablets; it's unlikely he fabricated this."

"I agree with Dr. Laventon's view." Bei Li La promptly echoed.

Xingyue's gaze deepened, her tone cold: "Whether true or false, the secrets he harbors are certainly beyond what we have seen."

Ma Jia Mu slowly nodded, agreeing: "I think so too. Perhaps those secrets are precisely why Arceus selected him."

Nearby, Gangshi, Zhubei, Ami and Ju Yi, still hadn't fully processed the legend of the Creator God and Kyurem, the shock of their faith being upended still fresh, remained silent, offering no comment.

"Regardless, that's all for today." Ma Jia Mu said gravely, "Tomorrow, same time, same place, I have something I want you all to see."

When his words ended, he said nothing more, turned and walked straight to his room, leaving a room full of people with varied expressions.

The others, seeing Ma Jia Mu had already left, made no further stay, exchanged glances, and one by one rose and left the council hall.
