Inside the stone orb was indeed the soul of the king of Pokelandis!
Countless years ago, to avoid the catastrophe brought about by offending Ho-Oh and to prevent both himself and his kingdom from destruction, the king of Pokelandis sealed his soul within the stone orb and then hid it here, hoping to escape disaster.
He indeed succeeded; the empire was destroyed, yet he survived.
Although in soul form, he truly did not perish along with the civilization of Pokelandis.
He was always waiting for an opportunity, for a human to enter this relic, then, he could reappear in this world by using soul possession, and then revive the civilization of Pokelandis.
Now, the king of Pokelandis was very excited, because even within the stone orb, he could feel the changes in the relic, after so long, finally a human had come.
He was impatient to regain a body.
Just when the soul of the king of Pokelandis was filled with excitement, anticipation, and longing, "Bang!" the soul felt a dizzying tremor—it saw the stone orb housing his soul being struck by a rock and sent flying against the wall, then "clang!" it started to roll on the ground.
King of Pokelandis: ???
Bang!!
Before the soul of the king of Pokelandis could react, another rock struck the stone orb precisely.
And then, a strange voice came: "No response?"
"Could it be fake?"
[Damn you!!!]
Since he was inside the stone orb, the king of Pokelandis couldn't see the outside situation. If he were in human form, he would have powers similar to superpowers, and Wave Guide to probe around, but in order to make his soul immortal, he could only rely on the power of the stone orb to help him isolate everything from the outside world. So at the moment, he could only know the general situation outside, but he couldn't see clearly what was happening.
However, even without seeing, the king of Pokelandis could roughly guess that someone had committed an act of disrespect towards his stone orb.
You miscreants, come touch the stone orb and let me possess you!!
Only if someone else touched the stone orb with their body could he ensure a 100% successful possession.
The king of Pokelandis chose to be patient.
He didn't believe that anyone could resist their curiosity and not touch the stone orb.
However, what awaited him was a continuous onslaught of "flying rock attacks."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
One time, two times, three times...
Even Eevee and Victini joined in, tearing apart the room while lightly controlling the rocks to hit the stone orb.
[Ahhhhhhhh!!!]
After enduring for more than ten minutes, the king of Pokelandis finally lost his composure. After waiting tens of thousands of years, he finally met humans, but it turned out like this, he couldn't help but speak:
"The person before me, are you the one who awakened my soul?"
No longer waiting, the king of Pokelandis decided to directly coax Fang Yuan to touch him, though it was a bit risky, he felt that nothing would go wrong.
He transmitted his voice directly to the surroundings with Mind Induction.
"Huh."
Just as Fang Yuan was considering whether to hit harder, but was worried about breaking the stone orb, the stone orb that had been hit suddenly trembled and made a sound, brightening Fang Yuan's eyes.
"It was me," Fang Yuan said.
"Bwoo Bwoo!!" "Bimi!" chimed in Eevee and Victini.
"Hehe... I did not expect anyone to reach this place," the king of Pokelandis pretended to be profound.
"Are you a Monster Messenger?"
"A Monster Messenger, you could say that," Fang Yuan replied with a slight smile. The ancient people's term for trainers and Pokemon, quite interesting.
The soul of the king of Pokelandis was silent.
Don't TM always make me ask you, okay.
How about you ask me who I am?
If you don't ask, how can I boast and coax you?
However, Fang Yuan really stopped talking.
"Monster Messenger, a nostalgic title. Do you know who I am?" the king of Pokelandis asked.
"I think you're just a rock." Fang Yuan said.
King Polcrandis: ┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"Heh… That's just an appearance, the real me is an undying soul, what you see as a rock is merely my dwelling place."
Fang Yuan asked, "Doesn't sleeping in a rock chafe you?"
Now, King Polcrandis, holding back the impulse to kill Fang Yuan, continued, "Judging by your appearance, you should be on a journey, right? What year is it now? I don't know how long I've been asleep."
"My lord?"
Seeing Fang Yuan finally getting on track, King Polcrandis couldn't help but say, "Yes, I am the great King Polcrandis, the ruler of the Pokelandis Empire. I was meant to be in eternal slumber here, but unexpectedly, I was awakened by you."
"You've heard of the Pokelandis Empire, right... That was…"
"Forget it, that's all in the past now. Meeting is fate, young Monster Messenger, do you have any wishes? I can grant them for you."
"Wishes…" Fang Yuan said, "Of course, I want the demonic beasts I command to become stronger."
"Hahahahahaha, that's too easy." King Polcrandis laughed heartily, "I have a training method that allows demonic beasts to master special seals, giving them bodies as huge as mountains and increasing their strength by hundreds of times. Do you want to learn?"
What King Polcrandis was talking about was one of the uses of Super Ancient Power; Pokemon cultivated with this power possessed world-shaking abilities. Even in the times of the Pokelandis Empire, only a select few inherited it, and he was one of them.
If he could successfully possess a body, he planned to use this cultivation method first to create giant spirits at Guardian God Level to bolster his forces. As for teaching Fang Yuan? That was out of the question. He just wanted to trick Fang Yuan into becoming his vessel.
"Really?" Fang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
He was truly astonished.
Damn, King Polcrandis actually knows how to Ancient Super-gigantify Pokemon?
Wouldn't that mean he could mass-produce spirits like the Dragon Island Giant Rapid Dragon??
Awesome!!!
Now, there was no need to go to all the trouble of figuring it out by himself.
Exploit him!
"A king never deigns to lie." King Polcrandis said.
Fang Yuan said, "Then hurry up and teach me."
King Polcrandis said, "Come here, I'll teach you."
Fang Yuan said, "Okay."
Fang Yuan scurried over.
Sensing Fang Yuan's approach, King Polcrandis went mad with excitement, he was about to be resurrected, hahahaha.
However, before King Polcrandis could get too excited, he suddenly felt a force capable of burning souls threatening him, causing him to tremble all over.
This force...
He knew it all too well, it was none other than Ho-Oh that had destroyed the Polcrandis civilization.
In that moment, King Polcrandis was utterly shocked.
And he yelled, "You… don't come any closer!!!"
The cause of all this was Fang Yuan, who was approaching the Stone Orb, holding a Rainbow Feather and continually poking the Stone Orb with it.
Approaching, Fang Yuan calmly took out one of the Legends Resources he had exchanged from the Alliance, the Rainbow Feather, which was a feather of Ho-Oh.
Just like Lugia's Dark Feather, the Rainbow Feather, with Jirachi's help, had been turned into a Guide Sealing Object by Fang Yuan for the safety of his future journey. Sealing a Guardian god level spirit was definitely within its power.
With this, he should be able to restrain the other party, right?
Looking at the other party's reaction, it seemed like a sure thing.
So, Fang Yuan seriously said, "Esteemed King Polcrandis, Ho-Oh asked me to relay a message to you..."
"If you don't want to die, why don't you just jot down the methods of using Super Ancient Power for me."
"Don't think I don't know what you are planning. As long as we cooperate nicely, preparing a doll for you to possess is not a problem."
Fell...fell for it, a person of… Ho-Oh?!
King Polcrandis: (゚Д゚*)ノ??? I've been self-sealed for ten thousand years, and that blasted bird still remembers me?? Ah!
