["Lord God, it looks like someone down there is fighting!"]
When they had risen to midair, roughly level with the mountaintop, Reshiram suddenly let out a small huh.
As a god, his eyesight was far sharper than Axel's at the moment, and with a single glance he saw two people wearing almost the same kind of clothes down at the foot of the mountain, locked in a Pokémon battle.
Not a sparring match, but a fight to the death.
Because Reshiram could see that the man had used some unknown method to make that woman fall into a hallucination.
Right now the woman was shouting things like "don't attack the Savior or the world will be destroyed" and the like, her expression agitated.
Facing the Camerupt right in front of her, she showed no sign of resisting at all.
Reshiram tossed in a bit of flattery, ["Such a stupid human... and they still dare call themselves some kind of Savior. Compared to our Lord God, that so called Savior probably isn't even as good as a stray dog by the roadside!"]
Axel: "..."
The moment he heard the word Savior, he already knew who the person fighting down there was.
Aside from the few Team Rocket members who had been controlled by Mewtwo at the start, and then Lyra and Courntney later, almost no one would use that kind of title.
Axel adjusted Lillie into a more comfortable position and spoke with a resentful tone.
"Isn't it possible that the Savior she is talking about and the Lord God you are talking about are actually the same person?"
["Huh?"], Reshiram froze. How could he ever have imagined that someone so weak could be connected to Axel?
Reshiram desperately tried to patch things up, ["Lord God, listen to me. What I meant just now was that only you are worthy of being called the Savior."]
["Because in my heart you are wise and mighty, like radiant light covering the earth, even the sun and moon in the sky..."
"That's enough." Axel tugged at the corner of his mouth and cut him off. "Go down right now and save that person."
"The Red Orb and the Blue Orb are somewhere on this mountain, but in an unknown location. Right now only those few people from Team Magma know where the orbs are."
"If Courtney dies, I'll tie you up here to look for the orbs."
"Yes, Lord God!"
———
"Courtney, look, your great Savior is about to be burned to death by me!"
The number two figure of Team Magma, Blaise, hid behind his Pokémon and laughed wildly. As a veteran Fire type trainer, he had mastered a terrifying ability, hallucination.
By using the high temperature of flames, he could make his opponent's mind grow fuzzy and fall into illusions.
After mastering this move, any Fire type skill his Pokémon used would come with a powerful control effect.
Just like Courtney right now, who had already fallen into an illusion inside his flames.
"See that, Courtney? Your Savior is about to be burned to death by me!"
"Tell me who he is, and I might consider sparing his life."
Courtney shook her head as she trembled, her eyes full of worry, staring in terror at a certain spot.
Just a moment ago, she had been fighting Tabitha, another of Team Magma's three executives, and they had been evenly matched.
But for some reason, the Savior had walked over without even bringing any Pokémon.
Then she saw Blaise take advantage of the Savior not paying attention and have the Magcargo crawl up behind him.
"Blaise, you can't do this," Courtney spoke urgently, afraid that Axel would be hurt by Blaise.
"I am a reincarnator. I have seen what this world looks like when it is destroyed."
"And what we are doing right now is exactly the reason the world will be destroyed!"
"Lord Axel is the chosen one. Only by following in his footsteps can this world continue. He is the Savior of this world!"
Hearing Courtney's words, Blaise could not help but feel a headache.
What kind of nonsense Savior was that?
There were so many gods in this world. If it were really that easy to destroy, they would not need to lie low and scheme to obtain Groudon's power.
This so called Savior, and Courtney saying she was a reincarnator, were clearly just the kind of plot you only saw in movies or novels, right?
If he did not have absolute confidence in his own abilities, Blaise would even feel like he was being toyed with by Courtney.
Left with no choice, Blaise could only make Magcargo raise its temperature further, pushing Courtney into an even more terrifying illusion.
"Courtney, I advise you to behave," Blaise's voice was full of coaxing. Combined with the environment created by the scorching flames, Courtney's eyes immediately became even more unfocused.
"Can you see it? Your so called Savior has already been approached by my Magcargo. The temperature of several thousand degrees will soon burn everything he has."
"He can't even speak anymore, he can only tremble all over..."
"Tell me where his home is, and why you are coveting Groudon."
"Otherwise, the next moment he will die right here!"
"No, don't!", Seeing the scene of Magcargo approaching Axel, Courtney let out a piercing scream.
She wanted to throw out her Poké Ball to save Axel, but she was afraid Blaise would act before her.
"You let the Savior go first, and only then will I tell you those things!"
"Oh?", Seeing Courtney finally give in, Blaise split into a grin.
"Fine. My Magcargo has already left your Savior. Tell me your objective, and I'll let him go. How about it?"
Courtney nodded blankly, just about to agree, when she suddenly felt a massive dragon's roar come from the sky.
Her mind instantly broke free of the illusion. Seeing the Camerupt less than two meters away from her, she immediately tried to roll away.
At the same time, that dragon's roar turned into the power of telepathy, booming inside both of their minds.
["With trash like you, you think you are worthy to manifest my Lord God in an illusion?"]
["And you dare talk about temperatures of thousands of degrees, what kind of bullshit are you bragging about?"]
["Your little lizard's strongest attack, I use that stuff as eye drops!"]
Reshiram cursed up a storm, spewing out all the taunts he had thought up halfway through, trying to raise Axel's favor toward him.
Blaise subconsciously raised his head to the sky, wanting to see who had such guts.
But before he could even look up, he discovered in horror that his Pokémon, as if they had seen some terrifying monster, all jumped into the nearby pool of water at once.
'You guys are freaking Fire type Pokémon!'
'Could it be that, to you, the owner of that voice in the sky is even more terrifying than this pool of water?'
