Chapter 213 : A Glimpse Into A Fantastical World

In no time at all did the next set of rolling images appear in Nao's eyes once again. He raised his eyebrows and thought, 'Is it going to show me a glimpse of each available world to me? The O*erlord world already dropped a bomb on me, I'm greatly looking forward to the next two. Going by order, The next one should be P*kemon...', Nao thought to himself.

Sure enough, once the vision appeared clear in Nao's eyes, he found himself above crystal blue ocean water as far as the eye could see. He found himself flying forward at a really fast pace. He saw many weird looking creatures in the skies above and in the ocean below him.

They were indeed none other than Pokémon!

In the skies Nao saw flocks of Pidgey, Pidgeotto and Pidgeot flying near mach speed levels. Taillow and Swellow would swoop in around them. Closer to the ocean waves were Wingull and Pelipper hoping to scoop up some fish. Every so often a rare Dragonite would drop by and prank the other flying Pokemon.

As for the Pokemon below him, many water types could be seen. More commonly were Tentacool and Tentacruel. Schools of Magikarp, Feebas, Squirtle, Psyduck, Shellder, Horsea, Dratini, Marill, Mudkip, Wailmer, and Carvanha happily swam around keeping their distances to the other schools.

Their evolutions were nearby keeping their eyes on them to make sure nothing happened. Lone Pokémon like Lapras and Mantine happily surfaced to the air seeing a huge fast Pokémon speed past them.

As for Nao himself, he was currently sitting on top of a large quadruped, draconic Pokémon with huge red crescent wings. It felt hard to touch and sit down on but acted very flexible at the same time. It had a relatively short spiked tail with a large red stripe going underneath its tail as well as its neck. The body itself was all blue.

That's right this was Salamence, and it's Mega-Evolved form no less! Nao wasn't alone either. A black haired girl could be seen next to him with a torn burnt tan cape in the shape of a tail.Her cape circled around her neck and had a ring of black dragon-like scales around it.

She wore extremely short light gray shorts, which revealed most of her legs. Her shorts itself had a red rope toed around it. She wore a rather tight black top and it had two red crescents over her small breasts. A blue device of sorts could be seen wrapped around her right leg like a snake.

That was her key stone! Nao had something of a similar design wrapped around his left leg, but it was pure black! The stone currently could be seen active, as he was the one controlling Mega Salamence!

Nao's eyes saw himself look at the girl sitting next to him. Obvious excitement could be seen in her eyes.

"Say Zinnia, are you sure it's fine for me to steal your spotlight like this? You were looking to have a one on one with him all this time, weren't you?"

Hearing this, Zinnia frowned. That's right. The girl was none other than Zinnia, the Lorekeeper of the Draconid tribe, or what remained of them anyway!

"What, having second regrets already? Don't be like that man. I'm here with you so I still get to do my duty. Besides, going through a trial to get a legendary dragon Pokémon to acknowledge you is something all of us Draconids must undertake at some point in our lives. The elders won't approve of your marriage with big sister Cynthia otherwise!"

"Right. I could've chosen any of them but I still decided to go head and head with Rayquaza himself. Out of them he's one of the fiercest ones. You've been keeping track of his movements right? Is the meteor still planning to drop at the destination?"

"Sure is! That stupid Brendan failed to bring in Rayquaza in from space since he stopped Archie's and Maxie's plan to resurrect the two ancient Pokemon here, but it still should be fine. I'm getting readings Rayquaza will emerge from the power of that meteorite alone."

"That's all good then. You must note this event in your lore keeping. I'm sure it will be in for the history books if this ever gets revealed to the public."

"You don't need to tell me how to do my job! You just focus on this little guy here. I'm still surprised you achieved resonance with Salamence already and activated his Mega Evolution so quickly. It took me much longer for me."

After Zinnia said that she began to pout a bit. Nao saw this and let out a chuckle.

"Heh, it just really depends on how you raise them and how close of a bond you can achieve. I've had this guy ever since the elders gave me that Bagon egg when I was a child. Speaking of which, Cynthia at that time received her Gible as well. Have you been in touch with her lately?"

"I have. What, feeling lonely without her? Least you've got me don't you?"

"Maybe a bit. But what is it you're implying here?"

Hearing Nao ask that, Zinnia let out a big grin. She then responded to him.

"I may have tweaked the elders conditions to include me in the marriage contract you have with big sister Cynthia. You sure are a lucky guy, hehe!"

"Eh?"

It took Nao a moment register what Zinnia had just said, but before he could do anything, Zinnia stood up. She then struck hard against Nao's back with her hand, causing a loud thump. It was supposed to be a pat of encouragement by her standards.

Zinnia then felt the heavy gusts of winds strike against the frontside of her body. One would typically get knocked down or even fall off of Salamence's body but she had a firm stance. Only her cape fluttered as a result.

Seeing this, Nao sighed. He also stood back up and firmed his ground on top of Salamence.

"I didn't think you'd be interested in a person like me, Zinnia, or let alone date anyone for that matter. The guys back at the tribe are too scared to even approach you half the time."

"Hmph, of course I'd be interested in the man big sister Cynthia had taken a liking to. I'm her shadow. I go where she goes."

"Even liking the same man?"

"Looks to be that way. This matter isn't important though. You need to face Rayquaza's trial! Salamence, full speed ahead for Sky Pillar!"

After Zinnia said that, Nao saw her extend her left arm out and pointed her finger forward in excitement. Nao sighed once again but was soon interrupted by a booming roar caused by Salamence. Salamence upped his speed and all the nearby Pokémon fled in terror.

It was Nao's Salamence though, so why did she take charge like that? Nao could only throw that thought away and also shifted his eyes, looking forward at the endless sea.

For those who weren't familiar where Zinnia and Nao were, they were in the Hoenn region. Their destination was the Sky Pillar, Rayquaza's known residing area!

Just when the Sky Pillar came into view did the vision finally come to a close.

It took Nao several moments to recollect what he just saw as darkness resumed in his sight. 'To think I'd own a Salamence, let alone be acquainted with Zinnia and even Cynthia. There's been rumors that she was part of the Draconids, guess I ended up there too. Also who cares how people treat Mega Salamence's appearance. No doubt he's one of my favorites, so I'm glad he's one of the known Pokémon I'll obtain. Maybe a chance for Rayquaza too.', Nao began to think inside his mind.

His earlier anticipation soon resumed in his eyes. 'Both O*elord and P*kemon have different things to offer, and I'm very excited for both of them! Makes me wonder where the girls are in P*kemon but guess that will be explained later....', Nao continued to think.

'...Now then, I wonder what the Trails world will have to offer? A world where science and magic cross and where mechs are common. I wonder if I'll get a chance to pilot my own?'

After he thought that, the next set of images began to roll and appear before him! This would be the final set of images for this vision!
