Not Being a Trainer This Time

Chapter 832 - 424: Guiding Cynthia, Three Directions!

"Is it really like this..." Professor Oak was full of disbelief.

The relationship between Giratina and the Space-Time Gods, the connection between the Reversed World and the real world, these are all topics worth delving into.

Indeed, there are still so many undiscovered pieces of information in this world!

"Is there anything else you two want to know?" Naoki asked.

Cynthia slightly turned her gaze, recalling the mural in Celestic Town and the Pokemon that seemed to be above Dialga and Palkia. She silently thought that perhaps Naoki might know something.

With this thought in mind, Cynthia took the initiative to ask.

"Mr. Naoki, is there a Pokemon that exists above Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina that hasn’t been discovered by humans?"

Huh? Hearing these words, Naoki couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised.

Has Cynthia already noticed Arceus?

He looked at the Champion of the Sinnoh Region, thought for a moment, and decided there was no harm in sharing, so he began to convey what he knew to Cynthia.

"If I’m not mistaken, the one you’re referring to is a Pokemon named Arceus," said Naoki.

"Arceus?" Cynthia and Professor Oak were immediately captivated by this name.

Naoki nodded: "In legend, it is the God that created this world. Throughout history, it has been known by many names: Creator God, Sinnoh Venerable..."

"From what I understand, when the world was initially created by Arceus, it was completely empty."

"After that, Arceus created Dialga, who governs time, and Palkia, who governs space, so that time in the world began to flow, and space gradually stabilized."

"Meanwhile, Giratina and the Reversed World, which were created at the same time, support the material world we live in."

"Once the material world was complete, Arceus created the lake guardian Pokemon that shape the spiritual world."

"They are Azelf, Mesprit, and Uxie. The union of material and spirit forms the world we live in today."

Hearing these myths she had never known, Cynthia’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but shine brightly.

Naoki laughed: "Not only in the Sinnoh Region, but legends of Arceus or related things exist in other parts of the world."

Cynthia’s heart stirred, and she eagerly asked, "Where?"

Seeing her intent, Naoki pointed Cynthia in a few directions.

"The first location is the Ruins of Alph in the Johto Region. It is said that deep within these ruins lies the entrance to the truth of creation, but only the chosen ones can find that place."

"The truth of creation..." Cynthia’s heart began to race with excitement, and she asked, "Mr. Naoki, have you ever been there?"

Naoki nodded: "That’s right. Before running this ranch, I traveled around the world and visited the Ruins of Alph."

This was his experience in the game, so it wasn’t really deceiving Cynthia.

Cynthia nodded, memorizing this location, planning to visit and investigate it later.

"The second location is the secluded town of Midina in the Sinnoh Region. It has ruins dating back thousands of years, and you might find the information you seek there."

Midina, the setting of the movie "Arceus and the Jewel of Life."

Arceus was once imprisoned underground by humans using mercury. After that, the dying Arceus fell into a void, consumed by blazing anger, and entered a deep sleep, awaiting future awakening.

At that time, in the name of a god, Arceus will judge humanity.

"Midina..." Cynthia nodded again, noting this name too.

Naoki: "The third place is Arche Valley in the Kalos Region. I once saw locals there worshiping a statue of the Creator God, and legends of Arceus are also passed down there."

The Light Ring’s Super Demon God Hoopa is sealed there, living with the locals.

"I’ll remember." Cynthia was eager with excitement, wishing she could rush to these places for investigation right away.

Thus, Cynthia did not linger long at the ranch.

After acquiring the information she sought, she stood up and thanked Naoki:

"Thank you very much, Mr. Naoki. I won’t disturb you two any longer. I’m going back to the Sinnoh Region to investigate Midina."

No, she should stop over in the Johto Region first, investigate the Ruins of Alph there, and then travel north back to the Sinnoh Region, so thought Cynthia.

Naoki: "..."

So this is what Cynthia is really like!

She really is straightforward and decisive.

He did not try to persuade her to stay, simply saying: "Then I wish you good luck."

Cynthia curved her lips into a faint smile.

Before leaving, she added Naoki to her Poke Communications.

"After I investigate those myths and ruins, I will contact you again," Cynthia said.

Naoki nodded: "Alright."

Cynthia left.

This noble-looking, seemingly ice-cold Champion had no airs when facing those myths and legends.

Although Naoki anticipated this in his heart, actually interacting with Cynthia, he was still surprised by her contrasting demeanor.

After all, typically, someone who appears dignified and gentle, resembling an ice-cold beauty, usually has a rather aloof personality.
