Hearing Zekrom's nearly shameless words, White Dragon was completely dumbfounded.
'What the heck?'
'How did I suddenly become Black Dragon's little brother?'
'Even I myself didn't know about this!'
["Zekrom!"], White Dragon's roar sounded inside Black Dragon's mind, ["You hateful guy, I was the one who found the warrior first, you go find some other warrior."]
["You first?"], Zekrom's voice carried ridicule. ["Obviously I was the one who first met Axel's Pokémon."]
["And he even had his Pokémon fight me, it was just one Poké Ball short of capturing me."]
["And you, you're just a shameless bastard who stole the result of my efforts!"]
Hearing Zekrom's words, Reshiram felt like he was about to explode.
Since ancient times, he and Zekrom had never gotten along.
Every warrior they chose was basically always on opposing sides.
But now, even though he had already made Axel his warrior first, this Zekrom still had the nerve to chase up afterward?
["Zekrom, you're too shameless!"]
["How am I shameless?"], Zekrom spread his hands, his voice carrying the relaxed tone of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
["Now I say I ran into him first, you say you found him first, then fine, let's just both follow Axel together."]
Reshiram's breathing was rough, flames practically sparking from his eyes, ["Black Dragon! You have no dignity!"]
["Can we eat dignity?"]
["Ugh~"], White Dragon let out a gagging sound, his gaze piercing through the Light Stone to glare at Zekrom in the Dark Stone.
["You don't deserve to be called Unova's Dragon God!"]
["Shamelessly calling yourself the Dragon of Ideals, but now it seems you don't have any ideals at all."]
["If I were you, the moment I saw Axel already had the Light Stone, I'd turn away and look for another warrior."]
["Only by defeating me in that way would you not disgrace the name of Dragon God!"]
Hearing White Dragon's PUA, Zekrom looked utterly unconcerned.
["You think I disgrace the name of Dragon God? Then why don't you leave right now? Go find a warrior to beat me, and when that happens, I'll call you Dad."]
["Ahhhh!"], White Dragon felt like he was going insane.
'This guy really is Black Dragon, way too damn dark!'
Endless flames surged up over his body, his anger blazing across his whole being.
If it weren't that he didn't yet have his true body, he'd have already rushed out to fight Zekrom.
Sensing White Dragon's helplessness, Black Dragon grinned excitedly.
He'd lived thousands of years, how could he let White Dragon's few words push him aside?
Did he think he was Kyurem, that hot-tempered raging maniac?
["What's wrong, if you're mad then leave. Just don't get too worked up and hurt yourself."]
Hearing Zekrom's words, Reshiram took a deep breath, forcefully calming himself.
["Leave?"]
["In your dreams!"]
["I, Reshiram, walk upright and straight. It was me who found the warrior first. If anyone leaves, it's you!"]
Zekrom went on breaking the pot after it's already cracked, ["Doesn't matter, then let's just stay together, be all lovey-dovey, and see who can't take it, bleh bleh bleh~"]
Anyway, he definitely wasn't going.
Even though White Dragon found Axel first, wasn't White Dragon still unborn?
As the one who got screwed, Zekrom knew perfectly well how freakish Axel's nurturing ability was.
Even just a relatively ordinary, common Pokémon like Gardevoir, paired with Glastrier, Axel could raise to this level.
If he left, wouldn't he be crushed into the ground by Reshiram later on?
The same thought flashed through White Dragon's mind.
This time, there was no way he'd yield.
Seeing Black Dragon stay silent for such a long time, Axel lightly patted the Dark Stone.
"Zekrom, what are you doing?"
["My warrior,"] Zekrom's voice sounded very calm, even carrying some faint concern.
Not at all like someone who had just argued with White Dragon, instead more like he was truly worried for White Dragon.
["I just went to check on my poor little brother, and he cursed me out."]
["But don't worry, I won't be discouraged."]
["As long as both of us stay by your side, I'll eventually be able to move that stubborn guy."]
Seeing Reshiram put on that pitiful, compassion-laden act, White Dragon's lips trembled, unconscious roars spilling from his throat.
If not for him already being white, right now he'd definitely look pale all over.
'Too damn infuriating, simply bullying me too much!'
Hearing White Dragon's curses, Black Dragon didn't get mad at all, instead putting on another helpless expression.
["See... he's agitated again."]
["These thousands of years, I can feel his temper growing more and more violent."]
["If I don't hurry to move him now, I feel like I'll never have the chance again."]
["Axel, please, you must give me this opportunity!"]
Axel's mouth twitched. If he didn't know at least a little psychic power, he might have already been tricked by Black Dragon.
Did White Dragon need to be moved?
That was clearly just an honest man getting angry from being bullied.
Yesterday Axel had thought White Dragon's heart was black after being split open.
Never expected that Black Dragon was directly black to the core.
Inside and out.
"Uh, so you two are sure neither of you will leave?"
This time, Axel's voice directly traveled through both the Light Stone and Dark Stone, simultaneously reaching the minds of Black and White Dragon.
["Not leaving, I must move my little brother!"]
["Not leaving, if anyone leaves it's Black Dragon!"]
"Alright then...", Seeing the two guys both insistent, Axel stopped trying to persuade them.
Anyway, with Mewtwo and Gardevoir in his team, they shouldn't be able to stir up too big a storm.
"Then you two can keep chatting. If you've got unfinished business, you can have Gyarados or Glastrier carry you around for a while."
"I've got a match to fight here, and once it's over we'll be about ready to leave Unova."
Saying that, Axel ignored the Black and White Dragons, placed the two orbs together, and shifted his focus back onto the arena in front of him.
———
Inside the orb space, Black Dragon and White Dragon glared at each other.
They had no real attachments in the Unova Region, their only obsession was defeating one another.
But now, both of their energies were completely gone, and they hadn't met the conditions to be born.
They couldn't fight even if they wanted to, and they were already tired of cursing each other, so they could only stand there, glaring.
Just then, a vast aura spread through the space.
An illusory Rayquaza hovered between them, radiating supreme majesty.
"You two little brothers, want to get rid of that guy Kyurem?"
Zekrom and Reshiram instinctively looked at each other, both seeing the light in the other's eyes.
"Big brother, tell us more!"
