Chapter 300: Fusion of the Three Dragons
Having left Arceus's space, Ryan stood atop White Kyurem, looking at Domino standing beside him on Starmie. Domino's Starmie rapidly spun the gem on its core, simultaneously using its psychic powers to levitate in the air. For a Starmie to achieve this, immense strength was a necessary prerequisite.
Looking at Domino, Ryan said, "Since Arceus has made me trust you, then I will temporarily trust you. But you must also demonstrate something that I can trust. I need to return to Dahara City in the Kalos region first. You return to the headquarters in Pallet Town. From now on, you will be my secretary. If you don't understand anything, ask Matori; you will be her deputy."
"Yes, sir. I won't let you down." Domino bowed to Ryan, then flew towards Pallet Town.
Ryan watched Domino's departing figure, lost in thought. He then activated his holographic communicator and dialed Matori's number. The holographic communicator flickered a few times, and Matori's image appeared in the void. She glanced at Ryan and said, "Boss, what's up? When are you and Lillie coming back? You can't keep leaving all the work to me, can you?!"
Ryan smiled slightly and said, "So, seeing how hard you've been working, I specially sent you someone named Domino. However, like before, I don't trust her for now.
So, she's yours for now, work with her. Also, notify Colress to speed up the production of Genesect, and after I optimize the weakening device, store it all in the Alola region. If I'm not mistaken, the upcoming war will take place in the Alola region. Afterwards, I'll have Lillie contact the Aether Foundation; they'll cooperate with our actions."
"Okay, I understand. I'll notify Colress later. Also, how much trust can we give that person named Domino?"
"Only 60%."
"Oh, even lower than me? Looks like a tough one to deal with. But I'll make the arrangements. Also, boss, we've got news about Phione, which you mentioned before. If nothing unexpected happens, we should have some results in a month or two.
The Plate fragments are almost all complete, except for one Iron Plate and two Ghost Plates. As for the Draco Plate and Pixie Plate, we've got news. Giratina has returned and told us that these two Plates are in the Distortion World, managed by another Giratina. However, it didn't give them to us; you'll need to go there. Giratina needs to assess your character before deciding whether to give them to you. These are the main things. There are also some miscellaneous things that need your attention. Come back quickly after your trip; there's a ton of stuff to handle."
"Okay, I got it."
With a slight headache, Ryan hung up the holographic communicator and rubbed his temples. He'd been traveling for almost a year, and a whole bunch of things had accumulated. He'd meet up with Lillie first to deal with Hoopa's situation, and then he'd have to go back.
Before returning, Ryan patted the neck of White Kyurem and said, "Arceus has already given you your core. When we get back, I'll have Hoopa capture that Kyurem. It should have the Light Stone and Dark Stone inside it. Then, we'll have Kyurem receive the Dark Stone and transform into Black Kyurem, and you'll all be able to return to your original, complete forms!"
Indeed, Arceus returned the core that formed after the original Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom split when they were still one to White Kyurem. The Kyurem summoned by Hoopa was an example; two of the dragons were absorbed by Kyurem, and theoretically, they should have returned to their original forms, but they didn't. The most crucial element was that core, the primordial power of the three dragons—that was the key to restoring them to their original state.
Reshiram's truth, Zekrom's ideals, and Kyurem's void. All three domains were entirely new domains comprehended after their separation, while their original domain dissipated, or rather, was absorbed by the observant Arceus, forming a domain core, similar to a Plate.
It was Arceus's intervention that prevented that domain from dissipating, giving the three dragons a chance to return to their original state! In other worlds, without Arceus's intervention, that domain completely vanished.
White Kyurem let out a loud cry, its tail blazing with red light, unleashing a sonic boom. Then, White Kyurem's figure had completely disappeared from the sky.
In Dahara City, Hoopa, having regained its Confined form through its own power, grinned mischievously and stuffed a donut from the table into its mouth. While eating, it said to Lillie, "Lillie, why hasn't Ryan come back yet?"
Lillie, holding Shaymin, replied, "Maybe things haven't been resolved yet. Knowing Ryan's personality, he'll definitely want to get to the bottom of things. So it's bound to take time."
Meray and Baraz were also quite anxious; after all, it was their revered Arceus who had taken Ryan away, a significant impact to them.
"What a pity, we should have used Hoopa's ring to get Ryan out directly," Hoopa said, stuffing another donut into its mouth.
"Then you don't need to worry about it. White Kyurem is still quite fast," Ryan's voice reached everyone's ears.
White Kyurem slowly descended with Ryan. Ryan looked at everyone, then said to Hoopa, "Hoopa, can you summon the Kyurem you summoned earlier? I want to borrow a Dark Stone from it."
Hoopa, with a donut stuffed in its mouth, waved its hand at Ryan, making a whimpering sound. Ryan asked in confusion, "Is it impossible?"
"No, here you go," Lillie's voice came, and then Lillie picked up a black sphere from under the table—Zekrom's Dark Stone.
The Dark Stone was rather large; Lillie needed both hands to lift it. She placed it on the table and said, "I know you still have a Kyurem, so you'll definitely want to use Zekrom to turn it into Black Kyurem. That's why when Hoopa wanted the Legendary Pokémon to go back, I specifically had Hoopa leave Kyurem behind to hand over the Dark Stone. The process was a bit rough, though."
"Yeah, yeah. Hoopa is still very strong; they can't beat Hoopa!" Hoopa finally swallowed the donut, patted its chest proudly, and said.
"Hoopa, Lillie. I love you both so much!"
