Victini’s Liberation, Victory Flame

N goes off and rides Zekrom

First-level Legendary Pokémon are worthy of being First-level Legendary Pokémon, and their longevity is their most terrifying advantage.

Zekrom was knocked out of the fight by Reshiram, Victini, and Rotom, but it only took twenty minutes for his eyes to reopen without receiving any treatment.

The strength of Ideal Dragon's body was also evident.

From this, Aisha also roughly figured out Reshiram's physique and recovery ability...

It was then, looking at Aisha and N with very complicated eyes.

Reshiram and Zekrom also seemed to communicate for a while.

In the end, Zekrom glared at the smug Reshiram with a very grim look and flew N in the direction of Dragonspiral Tower.

"What did you guys say?"

Aisha asked Reshiram with a curious look on her face.

[It asked me where the hell I abducted such an awesome White Hero from, and how come I couldn't pick up such a nice wallet on my own?]

"Ha~"

Hearing Reshiram's response, Aisha couldn't help but burst out laughing as well.

"That human N is clearly a good Black Hero as well, awakened Zekrom twice with his own ideals, how is it that he has been disliked by you guys now instead?"

[That human... although the bloodline is a bit strange, the kid who should still be a human is really good, and among the White and Black Heroes of all generations, he is also an existence of top quality].

Reshiram glanced at Aisha.

Its expression was filled with helplessness.

[Even people can be angry, that kid's quality is based on the premise that he doesn't have you.]

"That's true."

Instructor Ai also shamelessly accepted Reshiram's praise this time.

After experiencing a side-by-side battle, especially after beautifully defeating Zekrom's battle with Black Hero, his relationship with Reshiram had also drawn a lot closer.

[This time, I kind of crushed Zekrom.]

Reshiram's words were filled with complacency and elation.

It didn't really have any conflicts with Zekrom, rather it had quite a good relationship.

The two dragons came from the same source, so it was not a problem to say that they were twin blood relatives.

It's only because of the "rule" that they are in such a situation, and once they wake up, they need to fight to the death.

White Hero and Black Hero are mostly at odds with each other.

Even if there is no conflict, because of each other's identity, the two will have an undying conflict.

This is how the battle between White and Black begins...

Truth Dragon and Ideal Dragon will also be forced to fight.

As long-lived beasts, Reshiram and Zekrom have long since come to realize that they are not in a state of despair.

Instead of being fine with it, they can take pleasure in it.

For example, the two dragons would also compare who recognized a more powerful Braveheart, and who could defeat the other with the Braveheart's assistance...

Obviously, this time it was Reshiram's victory.

[It's marvelous.]

Reshiram's blue eyes that shone beautifully were also staring at Aisha.

[This time, it is the first time in a thousand years that we have not fought to the death.]

"What?"

Aisha asked Reshiram rhetorically.

[For various reasons, every generation of White Hero and Black Hero who have gained the approval of me and Zekrom end up on the path of opposing each other... even the brothers of Eindoak Town a thousand years ago, it's as if it's the destiny of the White and Black Heroes].

"The hearts of the people lead to it."

[Indeed.]

Reshiram revealed a helpless smile.

The more it recalled the past, the more it lamented the present.

[Truth Dragon and Ideal Dragon are unconditionally obedient to White Hero and Black Hero, so after the two heros began their confrontation, as the strongest fighting force they hold in their hands, a deadly battle between me and Zekrom was naturally inevitable].

It sighed.

Aisha, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression.

[As if it were a convention, every generation of heros become life and death enemies for various reasons, and Zekrom and I have also, countless times, collided along with their desires, and in the end, divided along with the passing of a Braveheart].

Reshiram's eyes flickered.

It and Zekrom had actually become a bit numb.

Clearly blood relatives, they were constantly reincarnated between slumber and mortal combat, unable to even exchange pleasantries when they met.

However...

Aisha's arrival had changed their fate.

[I didn't expect that this generation's White Hero and Black Hero would actually come together at the same time with two people who don't crave the mundane world].

Reshiram's words were filled with awe.

[Both you and that green-haired boy will not covet my and Zekrom's power, and you will not use our power to commit crimes and gain profit... I can see that the two of you seem to be partners with a common goal, and I'm afraid that after that goal is accomplished, that kid will not want anything, but I can't say the same for you, but you will not be satisfied with my power.]

White Dragon's eyes sigh.

It remembered that when he had just flown out of the Sword of the Vale today, Aisha had said that he would break his twisted fate with Zekrom.

At the time, Reshiram had only taken that as a declaration of Aisha's juvenile exuberance.

Nowadays, it believed it for a few moments...

[Zekrom has a bit of an interest in you as well.]

Reshiram's words changed, and with a teasing tone, he flirted with Aisha.

[My hero, after you and Black Hero accomplish that goal, if Black Hero gives up his identity as a Braveheart, perhaps...]

White Dragon approached Aisha.

A smile and anticipation filled its face.

[You can once again become Black Hero on top of White Hero, while mastering the power of both me and Zekrom perhaps...]

"..."

Aisha fell into silence.

Reshiram just assumed that he was shocked by his own words.

[I thought you said you wanted to end my fate with Zekrom... this is the only chance to do so]

"No, I didn't mean it like that."

Instructor Ai's expression was a bit strange.

He did have a more efficient way.

Like taking the Wedge of Genes and taking all of Reshiram and Zekrom and feeding them to Kyurem...

[Anyway, for once, you and Black Hero do have a surprise for me and Zekrom.]

Reshiram vibrated its wings, and Aisha automatically floated onto its back as if he was wrapped in a ball of warm air.

[Let me look forward to it again, your performance!]

Reshiram's words that trailed off with a smile resounded between Aisha's mind, and after that, the elegant and holy White Dragon was waving its wings in a dashing manner and flew up into the sky.

"Bee~"

Victini immediately caught up with it and flung herself back into Aisha's embrace.

"Good boy."

After seeing this child, Aisha also smiled and rubbed its little head.

[...]

Reshiram turned its head slightly and glanced at Victini, who was taking advantage of Aisha's embrace, and an inexplicable emotion flooded between its beautiful blue eyes.

A bit of envy...

What's going on?

It feels like this hand is warm.

"Lo, Instructor Ai, I'm a bit dizzy in the head, I'll go back first." Rotom, who had just KO'd Zekrom's head with Victini's assistance and completed the system quest, still had a bit of a surreal feeling, it shook its head and turned back to Aisha's Poké ball, leaving behind a sentence that said, "I've already sent the map route to return to Eindoak Town to Instructor Ai's cell phone, so don't be fear of getting lost."

"Good."

Squeezing Rotom's Poké ball, Aisha gave it a thumbs up in his heart.

It was worthy of being the only tool person in the whole team, even though it was mentally unstable, it didn't forget to give himself an assist.

Rotom, you're great.

I'll feed you the gems given by the quest when I get back.

...

Eindoak Town, Sword of the Vale.

"The Protection Boundary has been broken... even with the Pillars of Protection still supplying energy, it's only a matter of time before the boundary completely dies out." Standing on top of the watchtower, Damon sighed and said, "In the future, Eindoak Town will no longer have the ability to bind Victini."

His tone was exceptionally relaxed.

Damon himself was logical about Eindoak Town binding Victini's freedom.

At the same time, he was swayed by some selfish desires in his heart.

Now, Aisha's fist wrapped in flames sort of shattered his illusions with a single punch, completely freeing Victini.

"Light Stone..."

Beside him, the old mayor sighed and said, "Reshiram also recognized that one... really, doesn't know what to say."

Damon, on the other hand, was looking on the bright side.

"That's what powerful trainers are like, inscrutable in their thoughts, while at the same time often doing things that blow people's minds." He spread his hands with a helpless face and said, "Besides, Light Stone itself is not the private property of Sword of the Vale and Eindoak Town, we are at best just guards... no, the duty of a caretaker is also our self-appointed duty, and we have absolutely no right to interfere with others' disposition of the Light Stone, not to mention that this time it is Reshiram itself who has recognized that one."

"Indeed."

Damon also had this attitude, so naturally, the old mayor had nothing to say.

However, within one day, watching the two legends of Eindoak Town leave Eindoak Town, as the mayor, he was also quite upset.

"Ha..."

Finally, a thousand words still turned into a sigh.

"Perhaps, it really was our mistake."

"Let's go."

Damon patted the old mayor's shoulder and said, "That one, shouldn't be the character that runs away after taking a legend, let's wait for him to come back."

"Uh-huh."

Shaking his head, the old mayor followed Damon, Juanita, and Carlita, and the four of them walked together towards the town entrance of Eindoak Town.

By the way, they met Skyla who was waiting for Aisha at the foot of the mountain.

At dusk, the five of them waited at the town's entrance.

Finally, that slender figure came into their eyes under the light of the setting sun.

"Instructor Ai!"

Skyla waved her hand, calling out to him.

"Skyla."

Aisha looked at Skyla with a smile as well, waving his hand and responding to her call.

Skyla ran towards him anxiously.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Aisha looked at Skyla with a bewildered face as she looked around his body and touched it, looking as if she was afraid that a part of Instructor Ai's body was missing.

"No, no..."

Skyla gasped with exhaustion and finally revealed a relieved look, saying, "It's great that it's okay, Instructor Ai."

"Idiot."

Sensing Skyla's concern, Aisha also smiled helplessly.

A trace of warmth flowed through his heart as he tapped Skyla's forehead and said, "What can I be doing?"

"Eh!"

Skyla was not convinced this time.

She clearly saw Instructor Ai flying out on a very beautiful and powerful white dragon, looking like he was looking for someone to start a movie.

He had also broken the boundary of Eindoak Town!

"Anyone would be worried if you suddenly rushed out with that look!"

Skyla's fist pounded on top of Instructor Ai's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, okay, my problem this time."

"Okay!"

Facing Skyla's concern and complaints, Instructor Ai had no choice but to surrender helplessly.

"Bee~"

Exactly at this time, Victini showed up and flew next to Aisha.

"Ah, Victini?"

Skyla took two steps closer, looked at Victini, turned her head and looked at Instructor Ai again, and said, "This child, after seeing Instructor Ai you flew out on the White Dragon, instantly, it also flew away in a special hurry, I couldn't even stop it, so it seems that it was also worried that Instructor Ai would be injured."

"That's so."

Hearing Skyla's words, Aisha also smiled and hugged Victini.

He pulled out a few macaroons.

As soon as Victini saw the macaroons it was surprised and it eyes lit up, it received these colorful little round cakes and tasted their flavor with a happy face.

"Bee~"

With its mouth stuffed, Victini still rubbed against Instructor Ai's hand with a smile on its face.

"What a gluttonous child."

"It's not a bad thing for a Pokémon to be gluttonous."

Aisha and Skyla also smiled at each other.

"Uh..."

At the entrance of the town, Damon and a few of the old mayors felt a wave of embarrassment.

They felt like they were the bad guys for ruining Victini's happy atmosphere with Aisha and Skyla.

And that was indeed the case.

"Ahem, Instructor Ai."

Finally, the old mayor still coughed with an embarrassed face and stepped forward.

"The earthquake has stopped, however, I'm afraid that Eindoak Town's protection boundary can no longer be repaired."

"That's a good thing." Aisha still kept a smile on his face and hugged Victini, saying, "It's not your duty to guard Reshiram's Light Stone, it's not a disaster that needs to be sealed, and at the same time... neither does Victini need the 'protection' of the Protection Boundary."

Hearing Aisha emphasize the word 'protection', the bitterness on the old mayor's face increased.

He knew that his luck had fallen through.

"Pokémon are also beings, they are no different from humans, they need freedom just the same."

Aisha lowered her eyes and raised her hand to stroke Victini's head.

"The help they give to humans is not a reason for humans to be able to demand power from them without restraint."

"Hmm..."

The old mayor was silent.

The Damon family was also filled with guilt.

The way they looked at Aisha had changed.

"Worthy of being a true hero."

Damon uttered a sigh of praise and said, "Always have true goodness in your heart, so not only has Reshiram recognized you as a Truth Hero, but Victini has also favored you."

He knew.

Aisha could have taken Victini and Reshiram and walked away.

Skyla was the Gym Leader of Mistralton Gym, and Eindoak Town couldn't have kept her.

Nonetheless, Aisha had returned to Eindoak Town, so that meant that he was genuinely trying to educate his fellow wrongdoers.

"Perhaps, this is the best ending."

The old mayor revealed a bitter smile and said, "Truth Hero, thank you for showing us the way."

"In the future, we will not interfere with Victini's freedom..."

"Good."

Hearing those words, Aisha Fang really revealed a smile.

"You are free, Victini."

"Bee?"

Hearing Aisha's words, Victini raised its head with a face of plausible understanding.

"Bee..."

It pondered for a while, as if it had gone through some difficult mental struggle.

"Bee!"

Victini poked out its hand with an unwilling face and handed Aisha and Skyla two macaroons.

"Huh?"

"Ha~"

Looking at the little one's face of reluctance, Skyla was first stunned, then she was laughing out loud along with Aisha.

"Thanks a lot~ Victini!"

"Thanks."

The duo took the macarons handed by Victini and put them inside their mouths.

"Mmm, yummy!"

"It's sweet."

Skyla had a happy face.

Aisha, while showing a smile, was hiding an extra layer of emotion under his eyes.

Hmm...

The relationship between a human and a Pokémon, it's sweet.

[Ding!]

[Hidden Quest: Liberate Victini, complete.]

[Special Reward: Victory Flame.]

...

[Hero, there's something I don't know if I should say or not.]

"What?"

[Earlier, when Light Stone linked with your mind, I actually sensed a faint fluctuation of psychic power vaguely linked to your body... faint but uninterrupted, like it originated from an embryo, and I think that I'm afraid that it was an artificial embryo that was somewhat linked to you].

"And?"

[At first, I didn't pay attention to it because the aura of that psychic power fluctuation was very unstable, like the embryo could die at any time, but... just now, I detected that one mental power fluctuation had completely stabilized]

"...You mean that embryo, alive?"

Under the night sky, Aisha and Reshiram exchanged glances.

[Well, a new life was born.]

"I see..."
