Kanto Alliance, Damarshiki's office.
"Wataru, I heard you've already broken through to Champion," Damarshiki asked probing. This Wataru had suddenly broken through to Celestial King, escaping Damarshiki's control.
"Reporting to the Chief, Wataru has fortunately broken through. The Chief called me over today because of that incident in the Imperial City area, right? Wataru is ready," Wataru looked at Damarshiki with calm eyes.
"No rush, this matter still needs thorough planning." Damarshiki suddenly received the submission of the Mauville Group. They would cooperate fully with the Alliance's operation to capture Deoxys, with the Alliance as the leader.
Damarshiki, proficient in the art of controlling people, naturally did not want to put all his eggs in one basket.
Originally, the Mauville Group, who had always been at odds, suddenly approached the Alliance. This made Damarshiki feel very strange. After some inquiries, he
learned that a large number of trainers and hunters had died in Mauville City, causing the Mauville Group's accounts to go empty and its stock price to plummet. Now, the Alliance urgently needed to step in and minimize the impact of this incident.
"290" "Wataru, don't investigate the Mauville Group matter for now. After this Deoxys capture plan is complete, we'll discuss it again. After all, the Mauville Group is a star enterprise in the Hoenn region.
If the Mauville Group suddenly collapses, it will lead to many local residents losing their jobs, which is not conducive to the stable development of the Alliance."
Damarshiki, from the perspective of the Alliance's stable development, stood on moral high ground.
"Hmph, this old fox. I originally wanted to deal with the Mauville Group after the Deoxys capture plan was completed. Anyway, now I just need a warrant." Wataru had enough evidence to send Mauville Group's Xie Tianyin to prison, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Right, you've broken through to Celestial King this time, and the matter of your successor as Celestial King also needs to be put on the agenda. Don't worry, I'll persuade him to promote you."
Damarshiki, even now, didn't forget to instill in Wataru who had pushed him to the position of Celestial King, wanting Wataru to be grateful to him.
"Hmph, old fox. Still trying to put on a show? Everyone knows that as long as you reach the Celestial King level, you can apply for the Celestial King position." Wataru secretly grumbled in his heart.
With the power of Dragon Control, he had long defeated the other Celestial Kings of the Alliance. However, because Wataru had not officially broken through to Celestial King, Damarshiki had been using this to manipulate Wataru, preventing him from becoming an official Celestial King.
Now that Wataru had broken through to Celestial King, Damarshiki had no suitable excuse.
But Wataru also understood that even if he became a Celestial King, it would be difficult for him to become a true Champion.
Because the newly appointed Ice-type Celestial King, Steven Stone, directly countered his Dragon-type spirits, and the condition for becoming a Champion was to defeat all Celestial Kings and gain their recognition.
"Wataru, you possess the power of Dragon Control. Once we capture Deoxys, I want you to become the new Divine Dragon Master. I hope you won't disappoint me," Damarshiki said with narrowed eyes, his mind calculating something unknown.
"It's a pity. If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely go into battle myself." Damarshiki sighed.
"Since taking over as the Alliance Chief after the unexpected death of the previous Chief, I've been working hard every day, with no thought of rest.
It's all to balance all parties and maintain the current stable situation of the Alliance. Soon, this important responsibility will be handed over to you all."
Damarshiki's mouth was full of disappointment and yearning for the younger generation. He also subtly emphasized the stability of the entire spirit world.
"Hmph, this old fox. What you inherited from the previous Chief was a prosperous and vibrant Alliance. But now the Alliance has been messed up by you.
Not only has the world been shattered into pieces, but even ordinary people are complaining. What kind of pretentious act is this?" Wataru felt extremely disdainful in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
"You'd better prepare well, Wataru. Solidify your Celestial King strength. I hope this operation is successful." Damarshiki's words had the implication of offering tea and sending guests off.
"Then I won't bother the Chief for now." Wataru turned and left without a trace of hesitation. Every time he saw the old man's fake, hypocritical smile, he felt extremely disgusted.
Kanto City, President's office of Devon Corporation.
Steven Stone and his father sat facing each other.
"The infinite energy device has finally been developed, and it's still in the testing phase. However, from the test results, this infinite energy device can greatly weaken Deoxys's protective ability against the Delta current." Steven Stone said solemnly to his father.
"Do I really not need to follow this time?" His father said with some concern.
"No need. I'm more worried about the rebellion of the people of the Star of Destiny. You know that the Grand Priestess is very prestigious among the people of the Star of Destiny.
After all, she is the first Grand Priestess in history to be recognized by Deoxys, a true Divine Dragon Master." Steven Stone also greatly admired this Grand Priestess.
"After this Tower of Burial incident ends, we can completely defeat our opponent, the Mauville Group. However, it's estimated that we'll provoke another strong enemy. The Alliance won't let us grow too big."
"After all, the one in charge of the Hoenn region now is us. We only listen to orders but don't take directions. We can't let that person stomp on us." Steven Stone said thoughtfully to his father.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Divine Dragon Master came to the Hoenn region and went to the unmanned power station in the suburbs of Mauville City, successfully becoming a Celestial King trainer," his father hinted.
"That's right, that guy broke through, so that old man Damarshiki is even more wary of him. Damarshiki is afraid of his power, after all, that guy also possesses the power of Dragon Control."
"However, Deoxys is after all the Dragon God of the Hoenn region. For a mere human to want to control a divine beast is simply wishful thinking.
That old man Damarshiki, his abilities are extremely mediocre, but his ambitions are quite grand. Isn't he afraid of being unworthy of his position?" His father said leisurely.
...
A small unnamed island.
Underneath the Unova Plains, an underground palace complex was built. Aslan, dressed in a white cloak, walked into the extremely luxurious palace complex.
A man wearing a mask and magnificent clothes was sitting on the throne in the palace, watching the performance of the Psychic-type Pokémon. The back of the throne was inlaid with extremely luxurious top-grade Fire Stones, forming an "N."
The man watched Aslan walk in and gave a look to the Psychic-type Pokémon performing.
The Psychic-type Pokémon left one after another.
"Lord Quirks," Aslan knelt on the ground, bowing his head, and held up the box in his hand. Aslan dared not speak, kneeling on the cold ground for a long time.
After a long time, the man chuckled faintly.
"Aslan, do you know how much I anticipate that newborn illusionary beast? For this, I didn't hesitate to capture Darkrai. Is this how you repay me?"
"Now that this trash is completely useless, why did you take it back? Are you trying to remind me that I made a very serious mistake?" Quirks' cold voice came from under his mask.
A bony hand stretched out from under Quirks's robe and took the box from Aslan's hand.
"Just this kind of keystone, I have many more." Quirks opened the box, looked at the keystone for the Ghost-type Pokémon, and casually tossed it into a brazier emitting white flames.
The keystone was enveloped by countless white flames. Aslan only heard faint "hissing" sounds from the keystone.
Then the keystone shattered into several pieces, falling to the ground. A piece of debris also fell in front of Aslan.
Aslan looked at this piece of debris, already burned red by the flames. Cold sweat soaked his back.
"I have a little piece of news here. The Alliance will soon have an important operation. They want to capture Deoxys in the Hoenn region. Since the Alliance has destroyed my plan, you should go and destroy their plan."
"Aslan, I'll give you another chance. There are many people who want to replace you as a wise man." Quirks, holding a rainbow-colored staff, disappeared above the throne.
A white paper fell from the sky, with the name of the person who had destroyed his plan written on the front: Wataru.
"Damn it, Dragon Master Wataru, you just wait for me. I, Aslan, have never been so humiliated by anyone." Aslan tightly crumpled the white paper.
Qingwu didn't know that because of his wings, the plan for the Tower of Burial had already been known by many forces, which added countless variables to this trip to the Imperial City area.
