Adick said, "Currently, there is an organization called the Plasma Team that wants to control Zekrom and Reshiram in order to achieve their own ambitions..."
"Roar!!!!"
"There is no need to continue." Whether it was Zekrom or Reshiram, they both roared indifferently towards the sky.
Any life that despises the truth, indulges in desires, spits on ideals, and forgets righteousness to fall into depravity—if it appears before them, they would surely bring destruction upon it.
Although Adick's warning might have been well-intentioned, they did not believe that the Plasma Team could pose any threat to them.
Moreover, compared to this, both of them were more interested in Caitlin and Nastina.
......
Suddenly stopped by the Black and White Dragons, Adick waved his hand awkwardly.
The atmosphere froze again, and everyone stared tensely at the huge dragons.
But the next second, something unexpected happened.
"What is your truth?" Zekrom asked Caitlin.
"What is your ideal?" Reshiram asked Nastina.
The two giant dragons, surprisingly, posed questions to two different people at the same time.
This made Adick and the others exchange glances with each other.
Caitlin and Nastina themselves were even more astonished beyond belief.
This kind of question...
Next to them, Wan Long, who was well-read in Unova mythology, suddenly covered her mouth.
"Could it be..."
Mythological records say that if there are people pursuing truth and ideals, Zekrom and Reshiram will appear to test their "soul" and power, and then, if Zekrom and Reshiram recognize this person as a hero, they will impart knowledge accumulated over thousands of years to the hero and face the hero's enemies with a blade.
Whether it be Zekrom or Reshiram, they are Legendary Pokémon willing to follow Trainers.
Could it be that at this moment, Zekrom and Reshiram are testing the "souls" of Caitlin and Nastina?
Adick, Lian Wu, Yue Ju, and others all wore expressions of astonishment.
Shi Lan, on the side, looked excitedly at the lady. Indeed, the lady had received the acknowledgment of Zekrom!!
The family's speculation was correct, those with Special Abilities are the ones most likely to be favored by Legendary Pokémon, and they are also the people whose "souls" are closest to truth and ideals!
[Answer, quickly give the right answer, Miss!!] Shi Lan thought anxiously.
The family initiated the Tablet to aid in Caitlin's cultivation, precisely for this day, to obtain the acknowledgment of Zekrom and Reshiram!!!
"This works?" Seeing Caitlin and Nastina chosen by the Black and White Dragons, Fang Yuan stroked his chin.
And at this moment, under the immense pressure of the Black and White Huge Dragons, the first one being questioned, Caitlin, finally broke the silence:
"My pursuit of truth?"
"... In the past, an unrefined "soul" caused my power to run wild, and what I desired the most was to experience the thrill of pure battle. I longed to have an unshakeable heart, to possess immense strength to do what I wanted to do."
"That might be the most real part of my "soul"."
Caitlin did not talk about grand principles like obtaining power to protect the Unova region; she expressed her innermost thoughts clearly and then looked at Reshiram.
"My ideal?" Nastina also glanced at Zekrom, smiled, and said nothing. She was completely uninterested in becoming some Black Hero.
Heresy!!!
Fang Yuan looked at Nastina in disbelief. Don't you know how to sweet-talk, to speak grand principles? Look at Caitlin, although what she said wasn't very pleasant, at least she had the right attitude. Are you even a Heart Source Trainer? You have a chance at persuading a Legendary Pokémon and you don't treasure it!
Even though Xiaozhi may not know how to charm Legendary Pokémon away, at least he knows how to make friends. But you, you just ignored it.
Caitlin and Nastina had finished answering, and Zekrom and Reshiram silently looked at them.
Actually, the content of the answers was not the most important thing.
What was crucial was to observe the "Soul" waves of the other party and determine if they had enough courage to construct truth and enough awareness to highlight their ideals.
"To construct truth requires enough courage~!!" Reshiram spread its wings and said to Caitlin.
Caitlin lifted her head, "What should I do?"
At that moment, Caitlin also understood what she was experiencing.
"Go defeat it..." Reshiram pointed at Zekrom.
Zekrom's reasoning made sense; as long as the Legendary Hero had more power than them, they wouldn't get lost.
Since they were going to test both the mind and strength anyway, the test of strength might as well use their arch-rival as the test subject.
Zekrom: ??
"Roar!!!!" Zekrom looked angrily at Reshiram, thinking, aren't you shamelessly copying my idea???
After all, it was me who came up with the test method and the new standard!
Zekrom also looked at Nastina, wanting her to defeat Reshiram, but seeing that Nastina appeared completely disinterested, it was promptly left speechless.
Both huge dragons could clearly feel the Power Fluctuations emanating from Caitlin and Nastina.
These two Humans definitely possessed great strength.
Perhaps, it was worth a try.
"Only by defeating it will we acknowledge that you possess enough courage/awareness."
The two huge dragons glanced disdainfully at each other.
Which left Caitlin and Nastina standing there in shock.
It also left the Four Heavenly Kings, the Champion, and Shi Lan dumbfounded.
What on earth kind of test of strength was this?
Asking questions for the test of mind was one thing, but nobody questioned that.
However, the prerequisite for testing strength is to defeat you??
If someone has the strength to defeat you, do they even need to become the Black Hero or White Hero???
Wasn't there a bug in this reasoning?
"I..." Caitlin was at a loss for words.
She felt there was something really off about this development.
She wanted to become the White Hero acknowledged by Reshiram, so she had to defeat Zekrom??!
Not to mention whether she could defeat it, but given the current situation, she didn't even dare to make a move.
If she angered Zekrom, who knew what would happen.
"This." Adick was also puzzled. He had actually fought one of the Three Cloud Gods of Unova, which was said to be just the most ordinary Legendary Pokémon, but even so, he was soundly defeated. As for the Black and White Dragon, that was an existence even stronger than the Three Cloud Gods, completely impossible for a Trainer to defeat.
The United Alliance had clearly detected the Energy Fluctuations of Reshiram annihilating the Plasma Team in battle, and that level of destructive power was not something any Trainer could reach.
Enough courage...
Caitlin stood there nervously, completely unable to make a decision.
But it was at this moment that Fang Yuan spoke up, "How about... you give me a chance to try?"
