"...Mom."
Naruto whispered it subconsciously.
Iruka was also frozen before the screen.
What he saw was not Arceus—
but his own mother, long since passed.
Her eyes were gentle.
Warm.
Soft in a way he had not seen for years.
Tears quietly slid down Iruka's cheeks.
At the Ninja Academy
Uchiha Sasuke stared at the screen in disbelief.
Standing before him—
smiling lovingly—
was Uchiha Mikoto, his mother.
"...Mom…"
His eyes stung.
His heartbeat accelerated.
And at that moment—
**His vision sharpened—
and his Sharingan awakened.**
A single tomoe spun in each scarlet eye.
But he didn't notice.
His gaze remained fixed on the illusion of his mother—
the mother taken from him by the brother he still seeks revenge against.
Across countless worlds, people experienced the same illusion—
a warmth that felt like family,
like comfort,
like home.
But the vision faded as quickly as it appeared.
Even rewinding the video could not restore it.
Back to the Video…
Arceus let out a soothing cry and rose calmly into the clouds—
disappearing from sight.
As if awakened from a trance, viewers everywhere slowly came back to their senses.
Below, the Legendary Pokémon stood side by side:
Kyurem, Palkia, Giratina, Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga.
The water-dwellers lifted off the ground one by one.
…Except one.
"Oh—Groudon just jumped.
Never mind."
Rayquaza and the Eon duo hovered gracefully above Groudon's head.
Then—
Arceus' final cry echoed across the sky.
The Legends understood.
They had orders.
A Parade of Legends
Mega Rayquaza roared and soared upward,
leading the others like a commander.
Latios and Latias followed, playfully looping through the air.
Dialga and Palkia lifted off next,
a dimensional gate opening before them—
and the pair slipped through their respective realms.
Giratina flipped through the air,
ripped open the entrance to the Reverse World—
and vanished.
Only two remained.
Groudon stood ankle-deep in seawater.
Kyogre hovered nearby.
The ancient rivals exchanged a long, meaningful stare.
Groudon turned and stomped toward the deep sea.
Kyogre drifted overhead and dove into the ocean—
SPLASH!!
Water splattered directly onto Groudon's face.
"ROOOOOAR!!!"
A final furious bellow shook the screen.
And then—
The video ended.Across the Multiverse… Discussion Exploded!Dragon Ball Universe
"Pff—HAHAHAHA!! That Groudon is way too pitiful!!"
Krillin burst into laughter.
Bulma was trying to hold it in,
but the moment she remembered Groudon standing alone in the water while everyone else flew away—
she nearly collapsed laughing.
"And Kyogre is so mean! Flying around just to show off! And splashing Groudon at the end—what a troll!"
Master Roshi nodded solemnly:
"Truly… a devious fat-headed fish."
On Mount Paozu—
Goku was drooling.
"Whoa… that giant fish… I mean Kyogre… It must taste amazing."
Chi-Chi smacked him.
"You just ate!!"
"I wasn't saying I'd eat it! I just wanna fight it!!"
"Sure you do," Chi-Chi sighed.
One Piece Universe
"AHAAHAHAHA!! THAT FAT-HEADED FISH IS SO MEAN!!!"
Luffy pounded the ground, outraged on Groudon's behalf.
"NOBODY BULLIES THE BIG RED GUY!!! LET'S GO FIND FAT-HEADED FISH!!!
WE'RE GOING TO AVENGE GROUDON!!!"
BOOM!!!
Nami kicked him so hard he vanished into the sky.
"You idiot!!! GET A GRIP!!!"
Chopper trembled behind Zoro.
"N-Nami is terrifying…"
Zoro sighed.
"With a captain and crew like this… yeah, this is my life now."
Across All Worlds
Discussion erupted everywhere.
Kyogre's nickname "Fat-Headed Fish"
and Groudon's "Can't Fly"
were etched deeply into everyone's minds.
Kyogre's smug antics were legendary.
Groudon's misfortunes were unforgettable.
Even in the Pokémon world—
Professor Oak contacted every regional professor:
"Add both nicknames to their Pokédex entries.
This is valuable cultural information."
Thus—
The nicknames became legend.
Engraved into the hearts of all viewers.
