After hearing Arceus's few words, Axel lowered his guard.
With Arceus's status, there was absolutely no need to deceive him.
More importantly, whether before coming to this world or after arriving here, Axel had felt this world's deep goodwill.
Whether Professors, Champions, or even those villains, situations where civilians were oppressed rarely appeared.
Emmm, it was not that the villains were good people, just that compared to villains in other worlds, they were much better.
Powerful Pokémon also lived in places they liked, and most species would not bully the weak.
The only one he ran into that attacked a vehicle, that Scyther, did so out of helplessness in order to save its companions.
In Axel's view, Arceus itself was a very laid back, easygoing creator god.
Otherwise, the Pokémon world could not possibly have been created into this utopia-like state.
["You understand me quite well,"] Arceus took a step forward, his body shrinking to normal size as he floated before Axel, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
As the creator god of this world, he could also peer into Axel's mind, so from the very beginning he had no intention of being hostile toward Axel.
Beside the two of them, Giratina, who had been fixed in midair by Arceus, was completely dumbfounded.
Even it had never spoken with Arceus like this. Who exactly was this man?
What was even more absurd was that Arceus had just said he was going to give it to him.
This kind of scene was exactly like those powerful fathers preparing a Pokémon for their child.
A terrifying thought flashed through Giratina's mind.
'Could it be that I was just a pet, and Axel is Arceus's biological child?'
["Great Lord, why, why is this!"], Giratina's voice was filled with grief and indignation. It wanted to ask Arceus what its identity really was.
Before meeting Axel, even when it had done things that excessive, the Great Lord Arceus had not gotten angry, only wanting someone to drive it into the Distortion World.
But just yesterday, after meeting Axel, Arceus changed!
Changed to the point that Giratina began to doubt whether it was even his own child.
Sensing the thoughts in Giratina's mind, a faint light flashed over Arceus's body, and a lawlike presence appeared in Giratina's consciousness.
["On him, there is power not inferior to mine."]
["If I did not send you here, by this time you would probably already be dead."]
["Think it through yourself. Is it me leaving, or you following Axel."]
["Huh?"], Giratina was completely stunned, ["With you here, would he dare kill me?"]
Arceus fell silent for a moment, ["If I sensed correctly, he was just thinking about killing me as well..."]
Giratina: ["???"]
["Rest assured. In this world, my true body is invincible,"] Arceus lightly delivered his final response to Giratina, then turned his gaze back to Axel.
["Do you want this Giratina?"]
"Yes, of course I do," Axel nodded without hesitation. Even though with the system's dream world, sooner or later he could obtain at least one Legendary Pokémon from every region.
Still, he wanted to hold onto the Sinnoh slot carefully, just in case he could get beep beep beep beep.
[Hey, don't think random thoughts in front of Arceus right now. This censorship costs four blue tags.]
Axel: "???"
'System, you really have turned bad!'
After being warned by the system, Axel stopped thinking about Arceus and turned his gaze to Giratina instead.
This guy was both treacherous and vengeful, but Axel was not afraid. Mewtwo on his team specialized in training players like this.
Giratina's attribute distribution was very good. After Mewtwo finished adjusting its personality, Axel could also fine tune its moves.
Just configuring it according to that future Giratina's move pool would be great, and after returning, he would gain another peak Kyurem level combat power.
Axel had already started preparing a moment of silence for Necrozma.
Once the move setup was complete, even that mule horse would shake its head after seeing it, right?
Just a mere Necrozma could only come over standing up and then obediently lie down inside a Poké Ball.
"So can I capture it now or not?", Axel looked eagerly at Arceus, taking out a Poké Ball, a bit impatient.
Who would have thought that Arceus glanced at Axel and suddenly spoke.
["I've already sent it back for you."]
Axel: "???"
What did that mean.
He did not understand at all. Wasn't Giratina still right there?
Arceus gently shook his head, ["You came through future Dialga, and you are carrying so many resources.]
["If you were to add Giratina on top of that, the moment you return, Dialga would likely be drained dry of spacetime power."]
["So I plan to seal it and unseal it in your era."]
Axel blinked, suddenly recalling how, after Giratina appeared in the future, it consecutively saw Giovanni and Pryce yet did not choose them, instead running off to wait for him.
And how Giratina had so much resistance and all kinds of strange moves.
'So that Giratina was actually trained by me?'
'Damn it!'
Axel's first reaction was that he had taken a loss. Not only did a level 100 Giratina fly away from his side, he also got fed a big empty promise.
The future Giratina was already in his hands anyway. Could it possibly run away?
This era's Giratina should be used to pry off scales and wings and such, turning them into top tier food.
How great would it be to use that food to raise his own Giratina?
'Then later...'
As Axel was thinking this, he suddenly saw Arceus's eyes turn into something like light bulbs, staring at him in disbelief.
Axel: "???"
'System, why the hell are you not censoring this.'
[I've turned bad, haven't I?]
Axel: "..."
"Actually, that's not quite what I meant...", Axel gave an awkward laugh, "I just want to know, how do you prove that my Giratina is something you... you gave?"
Arceus sighed.
He really did not want to stay with Axel any longer.
Because Arceus realized that Axel was indeed kind, but he was shameless, and his guts were extremely big.
Now he was asking how to prove whether Giratina was given by him. Was the next step asking for Plates?
'No, wait. This guy already has a Fairy Plate on him.'
Thinking of this, Arceus suddenly felt a bit of a toothache.
He, the dignified creator god, standing above all, looking down upon all living beings. Had actually been made emotional by a young man from the future?
Arceus gently shook his head, ["I will naturally prove Giratina's origin. So how about I send you back now?"]
"Wait!", Axel waved his hand and took a step back.
Arceus was puzzled, ["What is there to wait for?"]
Axel glanced at Diao Chan. He wanted to say he needed to establish authority in front of the lords and leave Diao Chan a good future.
But after just discussing Giratina with Arceus, he felt that saying that now did not quite fit his status.
So he said seriously, "I invited nearby lords over, and there are some gifts I haven't had time to accept yet."
Arceus's figure vanished, leaving behind a telepathic message.
["You might as well say you're backing that girl."]
Axel: "???"
'System, damn it, you're not censoring me again!'
