—------------------—

In myths, it is described as the earliest Pokémon, born from an egg in a place of nothingness when the universe did not yet exist.

In Hisui mythology, it is seen as the creator of all things, illuminating the Hisui land from the heavens as its own light source, guiding and protecting Pokémon with its light.

Great Sinnoh, Creator, Creation God.

These are all honorifics given to Arceus by people and Pokémon.

Holy cow!

WTF!!

Mammon looked at this Arceus in shock.

Mammon had once thought about what his encounter with Arceus would be like.

But since he had already made a promise with Giratina, he must have been planning to challenge Arceus in the Hall of Origin after making thorough preparations.

However, Mammon truly hadn't expected the 'encounter' to be so sudden.

Shimmering with a faint, soft glow, he stood quietly on the ground, completely unaware of when he had appeared.

His entire body was white, resembling a horse, a qilin, or a centaur. His torso, mane, tail, and face were outlined by gray stripes, his hooves were golden, and a cross-shaped golden wheel, named 'Thousand Arms of Arceus,' was on his waist.

His eyes were green, with red pupils, and at this moment, they watched Mammon with a faint smile.

His body was not large, estimated to be about three meters tall, yet the Aura Heart emanating from him was extraordinarily ethereal, containing an indescribable charm.

Caitlin and Cynthia also turned their heads to look at this suddenly appearing Pokémon, recalling carefully in their minds.

However, they hadn't; they had never seen this Pokémon before.

"great sinnoh!"

Uxie and the other two instantly 'knelt,' lowering their heads respectfully to Arceus and greeting him.

great sinnoh??

Cynthia and Caitlin instantly understood; that meant this white Pokémon before them was the legendary Arceus!

Arceus!!!

Cynthia's heart surged as she gazed at this Pokémon with a gentle and warm Aura Heart.

During this time, she had truly heard Arceus's great name too many times.

The Creator, the great sinnoh, the creator of Dialga and others.

"Long time no see~"

Arceus nodded slightly to Uxie and the other two, and his gentle telepathy resounded.

His telepathy was very special, as if from a benevolent elder who had seen much of life. Well, perhaps he himself liked that tone.

After all, under normal circumstances, Arceus's lifespan should be infinite, and he shouldn't age.

It seems this Arceus has a very good temper?

Mammon noticed this point, and it seemed to be true. Whether from legends or from Mammon's own knowledge of Arceus's deeds, Arceus was actually quite benevolent.

As for the movie…

That was also because Arceus believed he had been betrayed by humans, and a thousand years of resentment accumulated, causing him to become a 'demon.'

And facts proved that once the misunderstanding was resolved, Arceus was still a very kind and amiable being.

Ultimately, the movie's Arceus was even willing to lend his Life Plate to Damos, which already explained a lot of issues.

After all, for the movie's Arceus, the Plates were his life. If all the Plates were lost, this Arceus would quickly perish, which is evident.

"Respected Arceus, I am Mammon, and it is a great honor to meet you."

Mammon had many thoughts, but he immediately showed respect to Arceus.

Regardless, Arceus is the creator god of this world, so showing respect is necessary.

"You are very good, Mammon."

Arceus gazed at Mammon, then spoke with a smile.

He saw much, and had always been watching.

"I originally thought you were still in slumber. Michina Town has been waiting for your arrival to return your Plates to you."

Mammon replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Michina Town, ah~"

Arceus's tone was quite Feelings, as he recalled Michina Town from back then. Speaking of which, it had indeed been too long since he returned.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. Damos must have long turned to dust.

Humans are just like that.

"I fell into slumber a thousand years ago and only recently woke up."

Arceus said, and he also hadn't expected to see so many scenes right after waking up.

Recently? That means he didn't just wake up. So everything that just happened at Spear Pillar…

Mammon had a bad feeling.

"Don't worry, I will be waiting for your challenge in the Hall of Origin."

Hearing Arceus's words, Mammon looked up and met Arceus's smiling eyes.

"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage. The greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage."

Arceus looked into the distance, his gentle telepathy carrying a hint of etherealness.

It's worth mentioning that Kyogre, fearing its body might block Arceus's view, immediately obediently landed and lay down.

Hmm, please, Lord Arceus, don't look at me.

"This is…"

Hearing this sentence, Mammon's heart stirred. This phrase sounded surprisingly familiar.

"Back then, there was also a human who came before me to prove the resilience of humanity and challenged me."

"At that time, he came on behalf of all humanity."

"I acknowledged that humanity's future could advance on its own, and I returned to my own alternate dimension. But I often pondered what gave him such unwavering conviction."

Arceus slowly said.

"But later, I also understood that under my protection, while humanity could still live stably, it lacked the courage to forge its future."

"And facts proved that this was correct."

Arceus then looked back at Mammon, a faint glimmer shimmering in his eyes.

"Giratina harbors resentment towards me; I have always known this. However, I also don't want it to do anything irrational because of this 'resentment.'"

"Now that you, Mammon, are here, I am much more at ease."

Hearing this, Mammon nodded. This was certainly true.

Giratina has a rough temperament, and in order to challenge Arceus, it might resort to many extreme actions, such as causing the Time-Space Duo to go berserk.

But with himself present, Mammon certainly wouldn't let Giratina 'act recklessly.'

"As you said, I greatly anticipate that moment. I will see your limits."

A light shone in front of Arceus, and a deep purple flute appeared out of thin air.

The celestial flute!

Mammon recognized this abstract-looking flute immediately; it was precisely the celestial flute that could grant access to the Hall of Origin.

"The celestial flute cannot be found in the outside world."

Arceus's gentle voice came again.

"A thousand years ago, I retrieved it and fell into slumber."

Mammon smacked his lips. Good thing Arceus came out today, otherwise he might have been wasting his efforts all this time.

But then again, in the games, the celestial flute was never obtainable through any channel.

It only appeared in 'Pokémon Legends: Arceus,' and even then, Arceus himself granted it.

"Take it."

"Thank you."

Mammon did not refuse and carefully took the celestial flute.

This was given by Arceus himself!!

"Time… is also running out."

"?"

Mammon was puzzled. What did he mean, time was running out?

"An Evil Organization is roaming between parallel worlds, Mammon. You must be prepared."

Arceus did not speak in riddles but warned Mammon.

Evil Organization? Roaming between parallel worlds?

Mammon raised an eyebrow. Is it the Rainbow Rocket?

In the original work, it seemed only the Rainbow Rocket fit this description.

"Couldn't you just wipe them all out?"

Mammon said to Arceus.

The Rainbow Rocket is an Evil Organization led by Giovanni, the strongest Evil Organization formed across multiple parallel worlds.

It's worth noting that all the executives of the Rainbow Rocket are former leaders of Evil Organizations from various generations, and they are villainous organization leaders who have already achieved their goals in their own worlds.

And they all wield legendary Pokémon!

For example, Archie with Kyogre, Cyrus with Palkia, Ghetsis with Zekrom, and so on.

And Rainbow Giovanni wields Mewtwo, which can Mega Evolve.

Undoubtedly, this Rainbow Rocket is extremely powerful and terrifying. And Rainbow Giovanni gathered so many evil bosses from various worlds precisely because he was not content with merely dominating his own world.

So he set his sights on numerous parallel worlds.

Hmm, and then this powerful organization was completely wiped out by Selene alone in the game's storyline.

What the heck? A mere Rainbow Rocket dares to invade the Alola region where Lord Selene resides? Truly courting death.

Of course, Selene in this world hasn't grown up yet, but that's not a big problem. Isn't Arceus still here?

"Mammon, after that incident back then, I already decided not to interfere in internal human conflicts."

Arceus shook his head.

Mammon: "…"

"Arceus, is there a possibility that this counts as an alien invasion? It wouldn't be an internal conflict, would it?"

Mammon carefully chose his words and said to Arceus.

Human internal conflicts, at the very least, should be internal conflicts within this world, right? They crossed parallel worlds to attack; can that still count?

Arceus smiled without speaking, merely gazing at Mammon.

"Alright, alright, I understand. Please feel free to leave this matter to me."

Mammon instantly realized, patted his chest, and replied with great confidence.

"Indeed, you are the one even Giratina would choose. Mammon, I did not misjudge you."

Arceus's eyes immediately showed a smile, full of praise.

Mammon's eyelids twitched. He suddenly felt Arceus was a bit cunning.

Although, the Rainbow Rocket was already one of Mammon's targets.

As long as the Rainbow Rocket dared to come, Mammon would definitely not let them off.

"Once you expel those invaders, I will grant you a deserved reward."

Arceus would indeed give rewards; he never let anyone work for him for free.

"What reward?" Mammon was a little expectant.

"What do you want?" Arceus was interested.

"I want a body that can withstand a thousand refinements, the most outstanding physique among all humans in the world!"
