Cynthia and the others had finally finished examining all the murals.
Everything recorded there—
Was about the God of the Land, Groudon, and the God of the Sea, Kyogre.
So that was the truth…
Groudon and Kyogre—
Were beings born in opposition to each other.
Land and ocean.
The earth gave birth to Groudon.
The sea gave birth to Kyogre.
They were enemies from the very beginning.
The four murals depicted four great battles between them.
In every single one—
Both sides suffered.
Neither ever achieved complete victory.
What shocked them the most was—
All the land in the current world had once been a single, unified mass.
The reason the world was now divided into multiple regions—
Was because it had been shattered by their battles.
This revelation left them stunned.
"But… Groudon completely nullifies Water-type moves. Logically, this shouldn't end in mutual destruction."
Cynthia frowned.
Kyogre was clearly a Water-type Legendary Pokémon.
If Groudon was immune to Water-type attacks—
Then Kyogre should have lost.
Professor Okamaki shook his head.
They didn't understand it either.
Cynthia felt as if the more she learned—
The more questions arose.
Something felt off.
But she couldn't quite grasp what it was.
At that moment—
"It updated! The author of the Top 10 Strongest Legendary Pokémon just uploaded a new video!"
Cynthia snapped back to reality.
Updated?!
She quickly opened the dimensional platform.
Sure enough—
A new video had appeared.
Kanto Region — Pallet TownProfessor Oak's Laboratory
"Professor! Grandpa! The dimensional platform updated!"
Professor Oak was feeding the newly hatched Kanto starter Pokémon when Ash and Gary rushed in excitedly.
"It updated?"
He immediately opened the platform.
"That cliffhanger bastard finally updated!"
Without hesitation, he clicked into the new video.
Killer Seven WorldChicken Island — Outside Xiaozhi Elementary School
"Seven, what are you doing? Hurry up and prepare the beef offal! The kids will be out of school soon!"
Chicken Dabao urged.
"Oh, Dabao! That Top 10 Legendary Pokémon uploader just updated!"
One Piece WorldWindmill Village
"Ace already left… so boring…"
Luffy lay lazily on a tree branch, muttering to himself.
"When is that guy going to update… Groudon and Kyogre were so strong…"
"When I go out to sea, I'm definitely making them my partners!"
"…But they're too big. My ship probably can't carry them."
"…Wait! Then I'll just build a ship big enough for them!"
Luffy opened the dimensional platform out of boredom—
His eyes suddenly lit up.
"The video updated!!"
Across all dimensions—
Countless beings saw the notification of Rin Aokawa's new upload.
Their eyes lit up instantly.
And they clicked in.
At the center of the screen—
Text appeared.
[Side Story: Land and Ocean]
Everyone across the multiverse froze.
"A side story? What is this?"
"Where's the ninth place?!"
"Isn't this supposed to be the ranking? Why is it a side story?!"
"Damn it, give us Number Nine already!!"
The video continued.
New text appeared:
[Long, long ago, the world was barren. There was no land, and no ocean. Only emptiness at the level of existence itself—nothing existed.]
Professor Oak was slightly stunned.
No land?
No ocean?
Then where did the current world come from?
Everyone in the Pokémon world was filled with curiosity.
Professor Okamaki spoke:
"This should be explaining the history of our world—the origin of land and sea."
"It's probably describing how Groudon and Kyogre were born," added a Hoenn archaeologist.
The text continued:
[At that moment, in the silent and empty world, two lifeforms formed from the laws of existence were born.]
The screen shifted—
Images began to appear.
At opposite ends of the world—
From the very laws of existence—
Two beings were born.
One—
A blue whale-like figure, its body glowing with radiant patterns.
The other—
A crimson, dinosaur-like being, with magma-like veins running across its body.
The two Legendary Pokémon stood in a world with no sea—
And no land.
"ROOOOAR—!!!"
With a thunderous roar—
Both surged forward.
Magma poured from Groudon's body.
With every step it took—
The magma beneath it solidified—
Forming land in the empty world.
Kyogre flapped its massive fins.
And beneath it—
Water began to appear—
Filling the void.
The narration continued:
[The two Legendary Pokémon were born from the laws of existence.]
[Where Groudon walked, land was formed.]
[Where Kyogre passed, oceans came into being.]
[Each carried a mission—Groudon created the land, Kyogre created the sea.]
"…WHAT?!"
"Groudon created the land?! Kyogre created the ocean?!"
Shock exploded across the Pokémon world.
