Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 374 Seeking Peace, the Demon's Companions

"Well--"

"Pikachu?!"

"Oh my god?!"

As the gate shone brightly, Ash groaned softly, then bent over, his expression one of great pain.

Seeing this, Pikachu and Infernape both looked worried.

"It's alright, I'm fine..."

Xiao Zhi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Although Ash had suspected before entering that this ruin, related to Deoxys, might be connected to his Aura power, he still hadn't anticipated this when the ruin began absorbing his Aura power. Aura power is linked to human life, and judging from the Aura power absorbed by this gate...

Ordinary people really can't withstand such demands. Even Ash Ketchum a little over a month ago couldn't supply such a massive amount of aura power.

fine......

Xiao Zhi thought to himself.

This time he really had a close call with death, if it weren't for the recent significant enhancement of his aura power.

Forget about exploring the ruins to rescue Deoxys; he himself would perish here.

But why exactly?

This building, which resembles a prison for Deoxys, is actually absorbing my Aura Power.

Based on what he learned from his previous dream, it seems that Aura doesn't work on matter in the universe? At least, Ash's Aura couldn't analyze that meteorite.

In other words, this building was obviously built by humans, and specifically by humans who are capable of controlling waveguide power, right?

What is his connection to Deoxys?

Just as Ash was making this guess, Infernape and Pikachu beside him suddenly stood on end, as if they sensed some danger. They stood in front of Ash, their eyes fixed on the doorway in front of them.

......

The dazzling light began to become restless.

Before long, the light, which had no physical form, gradually transformed into a huge sphere of light, and a strange figure began to stretch its body within the sphere.

Soon, the figure that had initially been curled up in a ball fully woke up.

As the light faded, standing before Ash and his friends was a Pokémon with an alien-like appearance, an orange-red body with purple stripes running through its face, and arms resembling DNA helices.

The Infernape didn't recognize it; it just felt that the enemy in front of it was very dangerous.

It was as if once the opponent made a move, it would have no chance to resist and would definitely be knocked away.

Infernape doesn't know who the other party is, but Pikachu does.

In its memory, the Pokémon before it was capable of going toe-to-toe with Rayquaza. Pikachu never expected that a Pokémon of this caliber would appear so naturally in front of it.

Compared to Infernape and Pikachu's caution, Ash didn't seem as nervous, after all, he was the one who released Deoxys.

“…”

Deoxys didn't speak, but bypassed Infernape and Pikachu's obstruction and looked directly at Ash behind them.

The light on his face began to flicker gently, and amazingly, it activated Ash's Aura power.

but.

I can't understand what Deoxys is saying.

It's simply about being able to sense its feelings and think along with it.

"Are you asking if I was the one who released you?"

"..."

Deoxys acquiesced.

Ash didn't explain, but silently released his Aura power. Deoxys, feeling the Aura power continuously surging from Ash's body, remained silent.

However, under Deoxys's deliberate control, Ash seemed to be able to sense its feelings.

I feel a little lonely and sad.

really.

Is it related to the heroes of the past?

Ash is now certain that the Deoxys has been trapped here for far longer than just a long time; this Deoxys might even have memories dating back to Aaron's time.

But in any case, Deoxys has been rescued by him and has regained its freedom.

"Nothing will bind you anymore after that. Although I'm very curious about why you were trapped in the first place, but..."

Pokémon that were deliberately sealed away in ancient times either had special stories behind them or were Pokémon that posed a threat to humans.

As for Deoxys.

Xiao Zhi didn't know why.

However, judging from Deoxys's plea for help in the dream, perhaps Deoxys was also sealed away for some special reason?

Xiao Zhi guessed that.

So here, he didn't press the issue further, but simply said one thing to Deochis—

You are now free.

It's that simple.

However, since Deoxys and Ash are connected, it seems that Deoxys has sensed Ash's curiosity and doubts about its past.

This is in contrast to the trust that Xiaozhi gives it.

Deoxys also reciprocated Ash's trust here.

The power of waveguides began to condense in a tangible form in mid-air.

"this--"

Xiao Zhi was stunned.

What he never expected was...

This time, it wasn't him who controlled the waveguide, but Deoxys.

In his memory, Deoxys did not seem to know how to use the Aura Sphere skill. Deoxys, who came from afar in space, did not have the ability to comprehend Aura Spheres.

And it was the same when they first met.

But Ash didn't expect that in such a short time after meeting Deoxys, through the aura power emanating from his body, it seemed that Deoxys had already grasped the ability to master and control aura power.

Moreover, in just a moment, its control over the Aura Force was already on par with his own, and in terms of the total amount of Aura Force, it far surpassed his own, even being able to make the Aura Force take on a physical form.

Ash, Pikachu, and Infernape stared intently at the images presented by the power of Aura.

Alone in the universe, it clung to a meteorite and endured a long journey.

It fell to the ground of Old Shenon along with the meteorite.

Foreign creatures seem to be rejected by the Pokémon of the ancient Sinnoh from a biological instinct.

However, unlike in the universe, at least here, Deoxys has the company of flowers, plants, and trees.

On Earth, Deoxys did not choose to fly, but drifted slowly along the way, as if enjoying the scenery.

However, Deoxys's situation remained unchanged during its journey; no Pokémon dared to approach it.

One day, it came to a hill near a village, where a human appeared before it.

......

There was no sound on the screen, but Ash could tell that the person on the screen must be the Aura Hero, since his appearance was indeed extremely similar to Aaron and Arcanine.

Unlike the Pokémon on the Sinnoh continent, this Aura Warrior is not afraid of Deoxys.

Perhaps it was the waveguide that helped him understand the origins of Deoxys and that it did not harbor any ill will towards the creatures of this world.

And so the two naturally became friends.

......

The pace of my travels slowed down temporarily because someone understood me.

Deoxys comes from the universe, but it can also understand the hero's meaning.

So it hid in a cave, never seeing outsiders. As long as it exists, it will not disappear. Its endless life means it doesn't need to take in any energy. As long as it senses the existence of this world, it can continue to live.

As the seasons change and the sun and moon alternate, so too do the stars shift and the world turns.

On this platform where life is so short, Deoxys also spent several years.

Life remained largely unchanged, and he had seen the same scenery countless times. The alternation of day and night and the changing of seasons brought Deoxys many novel experiences.

But it has no emotions; it can only vaguely sense that this place is a little better than the universe where it is all alone.

Perhaps it is because Deoxys did not find its companions in the universe, but here, in this strange place, it has its own companions.

However, Deoxys could see that the creatures that called themselves humans did not have long lifespans, and all the life forms it had encountered since arriving on Earth were terrifyingly fragile.

Compared to their own near-infinite lifespan, they are utterly insignificant.

It will stay in this place until its companions leave, at which point it will naturally be time to leave as well.

That's what Deoxys thought.

but--

On a certain day.

The hill, rarely visited by anyone, welcomed a group of visitors.

They were villagers from the surrounding area who wanted to find new resources on this hill to sustain their lives.

And a lot of people came.

After all, they weren't the army of some kingdom, nor were they the Aura Hero residing here, incapable of controlling wild Pokémon. When facing wild Pokémon, the combat power of one or two people was simply too weak. Without this team of twenty, they wouldn't dare to venture into the mountains so casually.

Hidden in the hills, Deochis met the villagers on this day without any preparation.

Deoxys, now seen by the world, naturally lost all his former peace.

Explanation?

It cannot speak.

Even the respected Aura Hero could not quell the world's fear and disgust towards Deoxys.

They have no power, so they naturally fear all species that possess incredible power except for humans.

Moreover, Deoxys gives them a feeling unlike any other Pokémon.

They were certain that it did not originate from this world.

This is the answer their genes have given them.

Since it did not originate from this world.

So what does Deoxys symbolize?

Death? Disease? Nightmare?

They have no idea.

But it certainly won't be anything good.

Even though the hero had almost explained everything to the best of his ability, no one cared about his words, because no one except him could sense the alien's emotions or was willing to communicate with him.

For Deoxys.

They gave it a resounding title—

"demon"

Both its appearance and its cold, icy aura seem to emanate from a desolate, uninhabited wasteland.

They all fit this title perfectly.

Deoxys was thus branded with the label of death.

The flames of the trial quickly engulfed the entire mountain forest.

The villagers no longer cared about the untapped "treasure"—the unknown amount of food.

Instead, they chose to eliminate the immediate threat first.

"The kingdom has already received your portrait, and before long, you will lose your place in this world."

The flames quickly engulfed the cave entrance. The hero stood before Deoxys, recounting everything with a sorrowful expression, and apologizing for his incompetence.

He couldn't change people's minds. No matter how much he promised that Deoxys had come with only curiosity and longing for the world, they still couldn't trust him.

Faced with the threat of "death," no one was willing to acknowledge their title as heroes anymore, nor did they care how much kindness they had received from him in the past.

Driven by a sense of urgency and a desire to spread the word, they vowed to burn the "demon" clean with flames.

They never considered that if the so-called demon could truly be burned to ashes by mere flames, then what was there for them to fear? If even the strongest weapons they could wield could not harm it in the slightest, what use would their fear be? In the end, they might even have to build a shrine for this "demon," worship it, and pray for its protection?

Perhaps the root of everything lies in the goodness within oneself, and in the goodness within Deoxys.

Even if he shouldn't think about things this way from a human perspective.

"Do you want to go back? Back to that desolate, untouched land?"

The hero, filled with sorrow, sought his friend's opinion.

Deoxys did not respond, but stared blankly at the approaching sea of ​​fire, lost in thought.

Or perhaps—

The hero closed his eyes.

Another solution was provided.

"Place your hopes on the future, waiting for a peaceful era, an era in which all people become stronger and wiser, so that my descendants can rescue you. Perhaps in that wonderful era, you can also see more and more beautiful scenery."

"If you'd like—"

The brave warrior peered through the sea of ​​fire, his gaze fixed on the distant mountains.

"I will find you a place to stay temporarily."

"..."

The jewel on Deochis's chest gleamed.

Deochis set off.

Surrounded by flames and amidst the angry shouts of the villagers, the two figures vanished from the spot without anyone noticing.

No one knows where the demon has gone.

The hero never appeared in this village again.

P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
