At Akira's command, Landorus spread its arms, its muscular limbs surging with thick, earthy-yellow Aura.
The Aura rapidly accumulated around its body, soon forming a massive cluster that dyed the sky in vibrant yellow.
Before long, when the Aura reached its peak, Landorus widened its eyes and swung its arms downward.
The gathered Aura surged toward the ground like an unending torrent, plunging deep into the soil.
The immense energy churned the earth beneath, turning over vast swathes of land in preparation for the upcoming planting.
And this wasn't even Landorus's true power—it was merely plowing the land.
Satisfied, Akira nodded and instructed Porygon-Z to place the marsh containing Nitro Rice in the designated area.
Ripples appeared in the air as an entire field of golden wheat materialized out of nowhere.
Countless plump stalks of Nitro Rice adorned the grassland, their mature yellow hue symbolizing abundance.
Then, Shaymin, perched on Akira's shoulder, leaped into the air, bursting into a dazzling white light as it transformed mid-flight.
Its form shifted until it settled into a dog-like figure, soaring proudly through the sky.
Originally, Shaymin resembled a white hedgehog, its body covered in lush green grass with yellow spots on its back.
But in its Sky Forme, it took on a more canine appearance—longer legs now green, a red scarf-like mane around its neck, and white wings on either side of its eyes, granting it the power of flight.
In this form, Shaymin shed some of its cuteness in exchange for a more gallant demeanor as it glided freely through the air.
While flying, it scattered seeds and roots across the freshly plowed soil, precisely depositing them in the locations Akira had prearranged.
Though this was a cultivation site, Akira had broadly categorized the types of Hope planted here into two kinds:
One was Hope with risks.
The other was Hope without risks.
The risky Hope included the [Herbs] obtained from the Ancient Labyrinth City.
Their effect was to cure all ailments, making them second in importance only to Nitro Rice and Melori.
In certain situations, the [Herbs] could even surpass Nitro Rice and Melori in significance.
After all, Nitro Rice and Melori merely contained vast life energy, capable of extending the consumer's lifespan.
[Vanilla Grass]not only possesses a certain amount of life energy but can also cure many unimaginable diseases.
In a sense, [Vanilla Grass]holds even greater importance.
However, Akira knew that one of the calamities, [Gold-Silver Ingot], was caused by immature [Vanilla Grass].
Cultivating it carried certain risks.
Apart from [Vanilla Grass], another risky item was the [Blazing Sunflower Seed] obtained from the grasslands of the Dark Continent.
Its effect was to contain intense warmth energy, which could dispel cold and frostbite when consumed.
Once planted, the [Blazing Sunflower Seed] would mature over time and grow into a [Blazing Sunflower].
These sunflowers would face the sun daily, continuously absorbing sunlight and emitting light at night.
The shells of the seeds were pitch black, and the core formed by these seeds was exceptionally suited for absorbing solar energy.
Upon sensing the presence of living beings, the surrounding petals would rotate, using the collected solar energy to attack.
Thus, [Blazing Sunflowers] posed a certain threat and required vigilance.
The best approach was to harvest the [Blazing Sunflower Seeds] before they matured into [Blazing Sunflowers].
This was the exact opposite of [Vanilla Grass].
[Vanilla Grass]needed to be harvested only after maturity, requiring strict protection before then.
[Blazing Sunflower Seeds], on the other hand, were best harvested before maturity.
These two were currently classified by Akira as part of the [Dangerous Hope] category.
The number of [Non-Dangerous Hope] items was slightly higher, with three currently identified: [Nitro Rice], [Melori],
and the [Vitality Bean] obtained from Ging.
In truth, he had also acquired other plant seeds from Ging, such as [Struggle Vine] seeds.
However, Akira didn't consider these to be [Hope], so the only true [Hope] among them was the [Vitality Bean].
Although using the [Vitality Bean] carried significant risks, it lacked any active offensive capabilities.
Thus, Akira categorized it under [Non-Dangerous Hope] alongside [Nitro Rice] and [Melori].
Unconsciously, he now possessed five plant-type [Hope] items.
Their effects ranged from curing all ailments, extending lifespan, dispelling cold, to regenerating lost limbs.
It could be said that the effects of these [Hope] items were sufficient to address the vast majority of problems.
To outsiders, this would be unimaginable—let alone the fact that he planned to multiply their numbers indefinitely.
Before long, Shaymin had finished scattering the seeds, primarily consisting of [Nitro Rice], [Vanilla Grass], and [Blazing Sunflower Seeds].
After all, there was only one each of [Melori] and [Vitality Bean], so it didn't take much time.
But Akira believed that their numbers would grow from one to many, continuing to increase over time.
As Shaymin scattered the seeds, wisps of emerald-green Aura drifted from its body, covering the ground.
Soon, a refreshing fragrance spread across the field, faintly mingled with the rich scent of flowers.
In an instant, Akira felt as though he were standing before a vast sea of blooming flowers.
The reason for having Shaymin scatter the seeds was to utilize its ability to accelerate germination and promote robust growth.
At the same time, it transformed the surrounding environment, making it more conducive to plant growth.
Thanks to Shaymin's diligent efforts, the once-ordinary field had turned into soil brimming with life energy several times over.
Only a short time had passed, and Akira had already noticed several Nitro Rice sprouts beginning to emerge.
His heart settled—his assumption had been correct.
With Shaymin's intervention, even the rare Hope of the Dark Continent could be cultivated in the Six Continents.
Infinite Hope was no longer just a dream.
Seeing that the time was right, Akira closed his eyes and focused his thoughts.
...
Beneath the Pokémon Island,
In the dark, unfathomable depths of the ocean, Kyogre rested quietly, attuned to the currents around it.
Suddenly, Kyogre opened its majestic eyes, a faint blue glow emanating from its body.
Almost immediately, the island's weather began to shift.
Just moments ago, the sky had been clear and unbearably hot, but within seconds, thick storm clouds gathered overhead.
Under Kyogre's control, the rain fell only over Pokémon Island—and this was no ordinary rain.
It carried dense energy, nourishing plant growth and revitalizing all life.
Witnessing the sudden change in weather, Menchi and Pyon, who had been lounging under a parasol, quickly retreated indoors.
They weren't surprised—Akira had already informed them that heavy rain was coming.
Holding a glass in her hand, Menchi removed her stylish sunglasses and gazed up at the rolling clouds, murmuring in amazement,
"To think rain could fall only over our island... I wonder how Akira managed this."
Pyon, clinging to Gardevoir's arm, also looked skyward, her pink eyes reflecting the flickering light.
Snake-like bolts of lightning coiled through the storm clouds, occasionally unleashing deafening roars.
Pyon was equally curious but soon shrugged it off.
"It is surprising, but then again, it's Akira we're talking about. Nothing he does should shock us anymore."
"After all, no matter what he accomplishes, it's just... expected, right?"
She winked playfully at Gardevoir.
Gardevoir nodded in agreement, smiling softly. "Gardevoir, Gardevoir."
Menchi chuckled, tucking a wind-tossed strand of hair behind her ear. "Yeah... you're right."
This was Akira—everything he did made sense.
As soon as they stepped inside, scattered raindrops began to fall, quickly intensifying into a downpour.
Most of the rain, however, concentrated over the cultivation area.
Considering the seeds had only just been planted, Akira instructed Kyogre to keep the rainfall light—
The storm looked intimidating, but in truth, it was all bark and no bite.
Meanwhile, bolts of lightning, as if eagerly awaiting their moment, streaked down from the clouds.
Each flash illuminated the gloom, accompanied by thunderous booms.
Amid the rain and thunder, fierce winds howled across the island.
Rain, wind, lightning—all the elements had gathered.
Akira glanced up at Landorus, who met his gaze knowingly and gave a firm nod.
Landorus's tiger-like face grew stern, its aura as a Legendary Pokémon radiating powerfully.
Then, with a surge, its Aura erupted—a brilliant pillar of light shooting skyward!Afterwards, countless bolts of lightning and gusts of wind surged toward it, converging upon its body.
The area of influence grew larger and larger as Landorus absorbed more wind and thunder, its radiance intensifying.
Originally brownish-yellow, Landorus now resembled a miniature sun, brimming with unimaginable energy.
During this process, the seeds absorbing the rain's energy also accelerated their growth.
Finally, as the white light dissipated, Landorus' body became crystalline and dazzling, as if forged entirely from crystal.
Every movement it made resonated with immense power.
Having absorbed the energy of wind and thunder, Landorus had now truly become the "God of Abundance."
However, Akira was more focused on Landorus' current appearance.
Why did it seem more and more like Landorus had Terastalized?
He had to admit, Landorus now bore a striking resemblance to a Terastalized form.
Perhaps Landorus had fully absorbed the energy, or perhaps Kyogre deemed it sufficient.
Soon, the thick storm clouds in the sky began to disperse, and the rain, wind, and lightning all vanished without a trace.
The sun once again shone through the clouds, casting its light upon Landorus and the earth below.
This bestowed the majestic Landorus with an aura of sacred purity.
After completing this series of actions, Landorus finally began to move. As it did, the gathered energy flowed toward its tail.
Its branch-like tail continuously dripped a translucent, crystalline liquid, which fell upon the earth.
This liquid, transformed from absorbed wind and thunder, nourished the soil, enriching the land.
By replenishing the soil's nutrients, crops could thrive, allowing these seeds to grow even stronger.
It was precisely because of its visits that harvests flourished, earning it the title of "God of Farmland."
Landorus moved slowly, drifting through the sky like a cloud, ensuring every inch of the planting grounds was fertile.
As the crystalline energy liquid seeped into the earth, the soil glowed with a bright yellow light before gradually fading.
Meanwhile, Akira and Shaymin quietly observed the scene—the first rays of sunlight after the rain, paired with this spectacle.
It was truly a sight to behold.
At the same time, Akira's sharp eyes noticed that the previously un-sprouted seeds of [Melori] and [Vital Beans] had now broken through the soil.
Two tiny sprouts emerged, swaying gently in the air.
Now, Akira no longer had any worries—his mind was completely at ease.
Every [Hope] was growing healthily, proving that his vision was no mere dream.
Come to think of it, after all the elaborate preparations—Landorus tilling the earth, Shaymin sowing the seeds and improving the environment, Kyogre summoning life-giving rain, and finally Landorus enriching the soil—
With such a seamless combo, Akira refused to believe there was anything in this world he couldn't cultivate.
Even a dead seed could be revived with this sequence—let alone a healthy one.
After a while, Landorus had fully treated the entire area, transforming it into some of the rarest, most fertile soil in the world.
All that remained was to patiently wait for the plants to grow while keeping watch over them.
As for how to manage that—well, that was where his resident invention master, Meowth, came in!
It had crafted plenty of useful gadgets, perfectly suited to handle this task.
Recently, there seems to have been progress in the field of [replication]...
