France, Paris, Starwatch Tower.
A young woman with bright golden hair, dressed in a garment resembling a magic robe, stood quietly beside an elder.
She was the Superpower King of the French Trainer Association, the future Third Generation Anemone, Clemens.
The old person seated beside her was the Second Generation Lady Anemone.
At the moment, Master Zi Wan had her eyes closed, her face expressing deep seriousness.
Images flashed in front of the Second generation Lilac Master's eyes.
A petrified world lay ravaged by death-like disasters, life was ending, all things withered, a black aura covered the land, and all returned to the beginning under the shadow of black wings!!!
In a universe-like darkness, a giant bird shone with a bloody red light and opened its bright blue eyes, staring at the Second Generation Lady Anemone.
"Cough—cough cough—"
In the chair, the Second Generation Lady Anemone began to cough violently, her brain reeling as if it were being pricked with needles.
"Teacher...? Are you alright?!"
Clemens, seeing her teacher's expression suddenly change within the prophecy, immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Cough, I'm fine, but..."
The Second Generation Lady Anemone steadied herself with the chair, her heart pounding "thump thump thump."
"Clemens, notify the association."
"Highest alert."
"The first disaster I've prophesied… might be upon us."
"And the location, it's France!" she said in disbelief.
As she spoke, Clemens also drew a sharp breath.
The imminent disaster foretold… was it referring to the God of Death, Yveltal?
After the prophecy revealed that the arrivals at the Secret locations were accelerating, the Second Generation Anemone had foretold the next Legendary Disaster, which could arrive within a year.
The early convening of the Guardian God Battles and the World Sprite Alliance Conference was largely due to Master Zi Wan's prophecy.
The disaster was approaching ever closer, leaving nations with increasingly less time to prepare.
However, the Second Generation Lily Master had not expected the disaster to arrive so soon.
And of all places, it was to be within France's borders.
Indeed, based on the various features revealed in the images prophesied by Master Zi Wan, the Pokémon Alliance and the various national associations already suspected who might be the instigator of this catastrophe.
Life ending, all things withering, the black aura covering the land… it must be the God of Death, Yveltal.
For such a peculiar Legendary Pokémon, humanity's understanding was actually quite profound, with records in various relics, combined with descriptions from some ancient wise Pokémon, the abilities of each Legendary Pokémon were clear and could be vividly pictured in the minds of Earth Trainers.
For instance, the French Association was highly knowledgeable about both the God of Life, Zhenyas, and the God of Death, Yveltal.
The reason was simple, the original Di Anxi of the Diamond Mine Nation, transformed from a simple nugget of diamond into a Legendary Pokémon thanks to the power of Zhenyas's Fairy Aura, breaking through the limits of life and species, similar to how Ho-Oh revives ordinary Pokémon into the Phoenix King Guard.
Di Anxi was undoubtedly a Pokémon with Legendary potential, sought after by nations as a superb Guardian God, yet in the records of the Mining Nation, Zhenyas was seen as an even more elusive entity, rumored to be able to share eternal life.
If Di Anxi was that powerful, transforming a little nugget into the Legendary Pokémon Di Anxi, wouldn't that be even more formidable?
Therefore, to the French Association, Zhenyas was nothing short of a sacred existence, and since they knew so much about Zhenyas, they naturally understood Yveltal just as well; after all, the God of Death and the God of Life were almost polar opposites.
Yveltal, cruel and merciless, is capable of using Death Wing to drain the Spiritual Energy of life from a wide range of creatures, causing a mass petrification disaster of terrifying magnitude.
The records in the ruins state that if it weren't for the restraint of Zhenyas, Yveltal would surely bring death to the whole world, a plague-like fearsome Pokémon.
The French Association, and even the Pokémon Alliance, were convinced that the disaster prophesied by Master Zi Wan must be due to its arrival, as all the signs fit too well.
A Pokémon of the same caliber as Zhenyas… capable of taking the life of an entire forest with almost a single move, if it truly appears, Trainers still have no idea how to confront it.
...
...
Fairy Forest, Diamond Mine Nation.
Xie Qingyi, the Fairy King of the Hua Nation, had been invited to France by Carlos, the French Fairy King, and it had been two days now.
On the first day, the two of them had a battle for exchange, but it was evidently Xie Qingyi who won with an overwhelming advantage.
Although she lost to Shang Ren in the Hua Nation King Cup, Shang Ren was, after all, the Island King, cultivated by a Legendary teacher, and his progression couldn't be judged by the standards of a typical Trainer.
As for Carlos, her progress was clearly much slower, even if she and Di Anxi were friends, Princess Di Anxi herself was still confused and had no time to take care of Carlos.
Thus, in the face of Xie Qingyi, who had been enhanced by Fang Yuan, Carlos had no power to fight back.
Even Shang Ren might not be enough now, and if it weren't for the King Cup not starting yet, he would probably already be the reigning champion.
Xie Qingyi's trump card elf, Decidueye, had already reached the Species Limit in normal strength thanks to the Spirit Time House and three Feathers of Legend, and after Mega Evolution could rival an ordinary Guardian God. Her other main Elves also almost reached the Top Level Third Phase, putting her well ahead of most of her peers.
