Servants of God? God Eater?

The man quickly averted his eyes, as if he didn't care about Rope as a person.

Rope didn't care about the man's attitude either, glancing at the battlefield before quickly commanding, "Splash Plate, you and Palkia just go and take on the Deoxys with Regigigas."

"I'll go with Cynthia to help Icicle Plate out."

Hearing Rope's command, Splash Plate and Palkia didn't say much, they just nodded their heads and got involved in the battle. Regigigas himself suffered from his 'slow start', and bumping into Deoxys who was able to resist and fight with speed was really quite a disadvantage.

Although these two guys didn't have any attribute restraints, their skill strikes were quite wide.

Regigigas, who was vaguely at a disadvantage, should see his situation improve rapidly with the help of Palkia and Splash Plate.

Rope glanced at Cynthia beside him and said, "You go help Icicle Plate against Darkrai."

Cynthia, of course, wanted to refuse when she heard this. Anyone could see that the most dangerous guy in front of them wasn't those two powerful Pokémon, but the one covered in black robes.

Who knew what Pokémon he had in his hand that he hadn't taken out?

"Let's change it."

Cynthia spoke with some hesitation.

Rope smiled and shook his head, "Don't think too much. I'm fine with it. I'm not going to get into any morals between trainers with this guy either."

He winked a little playfully, "No rules for sparring! I'm still good at that!"

Cynthia didn't laugh, but knew she couldn't talk Rope down. The guy seemed negotiable, but in some situations the guy was as stubborn as a muddy donkey boy.

She gave Rope a deep look before she let go of the hand she was holding with Rope and then removed Garchomp's Pokéball from her own waist.

"Let's go Garchomp!"

"Roar!!!"

With a dragon roar, Garchomp appeared at Cynthia's side, crouching down slightly. Cynthia rolled over and sat on it, then said, "Let's go! Let's go deal with that Darkrai!"

"Roar!"

Then the jet-like Garchomp just flew towards the Darkrai.

Cynthia and Garchomp's thunderous style finally reminded people that the one in front of them was the Sinnoh Champion, the famous Matchmaking Queen. All the way over here it's been an imposing cross-country push on their opponents.

Rope also smiled helplessly. It wasn't like he didn't know that the black-robed man in front of him was definitely going to be more dangerous than Darkrai and the others. The best thing to do, of course, was to have Cynthia stall the opponent, and then help Icicle Plate out quickly himself, gathering the power of two Plates, two Legendary Pokémon, and two top human trainers to deal with that black-robed man.

But really, how could he hold back when it came to decisions like this?

He had never been a qualified commander or decision maker.

"Come out, Entei!"

Entei got out of the Pokéball and looked at Rope silently.

Rope stroked Entei's mane, then smiled and rolled over to sit on top of Entei.

The moment Rope took his seat, the red-colored flames instantly rose up and stood at the top of the mountain like a giant pillar of fire.

All the gazes on the field looked over, and Brandon, who was guarding the Regigigas Shrine, and Snowpoint City's Gym Leader Candice, who had arrived from afar, looked at the pillar of fire and felt the sense of oppression that came from it, and were equally lost in thought for a moment.

The black-robed man's eyes were no longer so lax, he looked at the pillar of fire, as if he saw Rope in it. he didn't say anything, just silently put his hand to his waist. From the inside of the robe pulled out a red and white ball.

And the blazing pillar of fire roared uncontrollably through the mountains. The surrounding snow melted and turned into clear water flowing down from the top of the mountain.

A moment later, the pillar of fire dispersed. Entei, who was clad in flaming armor and spreading his flaming wings, roared, and then carried behind him then the youth whose upper body was bare and whose crimson fire patterns coalesced on his back into the appearance of a divine dragon, with sparks of fire wafting out of the ends of his hair while flames fluttered at the corners of his eyes. It just appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The aura of a man and a lion even overpowered the many Legendary Pokémon present.

Even Cynthia had a momentary lapse of concentration when she looked at Rope's appearance. But soon she seized the opportunity.

"Garchomp! Brick Break!"

"Roar!"

Garchomp roared, then quickly followed up on Darkrai's moment of disorientation with a vicious Brick Break that blasted Darkrai in the ribs.

Darkrai was blasted backwards. He managed to stop, but before he could react, Garchomp was on top of him and hit him with another Dragon Claw in the blink of an eye.

Just like that, Cynthia had already gained the upper hand in the battle by taking advantage of this lapse in concentration. It was a shame though...Garchomp was already at Champion level. On the other side, Icicle Plate also seized the opportunity to help out with his weakened body, ruffling the feathers on one side and interrupting Darkrai's skills with his own powerful long-range skills from time to time.

So this side of the battle also maintained a considerable advantage.

——————————————

The active battlefield on this side has also broken the silence brought by Rope.Candice and Brandon looked at the battlefield from afar. For a moment they didn't know how they should intervene.

Every battlefield in front of them had the involvement of a god. Although Brandon himself had Three Legendary Pillars and Three Legendary Birds as companions. But these were not true Pokémon that could be titled as God Pillars and God Birds.

There was still a big difference between them and these true gods that were on the verge of powering up.

"Mr. Brandon... should we... go up and help..."

Candice asked, somewhat at a loss for words. Said scene was really the first time she had seen it...

Brandon looked at the scene for a moment, then shook his head, "Gym Leader Candice you go ahead and settle the residents of Snowpoint City. Try to empty out the city as much as possible. It would be bad if their battlefield expands and spills over to the masses."

"As for the battle at hand..." said Brandon, looking at the champion who was battling Darkrai and the professor who was riding on Entei, he shook his head, "Trust them... I only now realize how far apart I am from them..."

As he said this, Brandon's tone actually took on a hard-to-conceal loss. With his eyes, he could certainly see that Cynthia's outstanding performance was due to Icicle Plate's help in addition to her own command.

However, Professor Rope, whose aura had convinced people, hadn't taken advantage of others...

After thinking for a long time, it eventually just turned into a sigh that drifted away in the cold wind.

——————————————

"You, who the hell are you."

The one who asked this was not Rope. but the black-robed man who stood below with a Pokéball in his hand.

Rope looked at the other party from above and tilted his head, "I'm Rope, a trainer with an interest."

After saying that, Rope's eyes snapped, "And who are you?"

The black-robed man looked at Rope, then said in a voice that was hard to distinguish between male and female, young and old, happy and sad.

"I was a sinner in the past, and I am a sinner now, and I should still be a sinner in the future as you see me."

Rope's mouth twitched... got it, all dates... sinners.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Rope asked again with a frown. He had asked Snow and Vision, he had asked Ground and Rock, and he had asked Taito, and their answer was Plate.

But what was the purpose of collecting Plate's information? One by one, they couldn't say why.

Ishi makes a good point that, strictly speaking, none of the members of Servants of God care about the culture of the organization. What they were doing was that person's money and disaster anyway. The biggest difference between the members at the bottom and the hunters was that the hunters tended to have irregular clients and didn't get a basic salary.

But Servants of God has...

You're saying that the members of this organization have no idea what it's like to be a corporation one day.

No more money, no more work, whatever you want to call it.

"Our purpose is redemption."

The black-robed man remained strained as he said this, looking less like a sinner intent on redeeming his sins and more like a ram in a public court of law who couldn't be beaten even if he was bent over backwards.

Rope shook his head, and realized that it was basically impossible for him to get anything out of this man.

"Entei! Flamethrower!"

Rope commanded instantly and dryly.

The flames brewing in the air of Entei simply and directly turned into pillars of fire and attacked towards the black-robed man.

The black-robed man, however, did not tense up and simply threw his Pokéball casually.

A Blastoise appeared in front of the black-robed man.

"Hydro Cannon."

The black-robed man's voice was still the same very unique voice that couldn't be heard with any characteristics.

The water energy that emerged from the Blastoise's body roared like a stormy wave before converging at the Blastoise's cannon barrel. Then a large column of water with an extremely strong impact collided with the red-colored flames.

Then a huge stream of water vapor erupted from the intersection of the two.

White vapor quickly filled the entire battlefield.

The black-robed man looked around himself warily.

The Blastoise in front of him continued to maintain the Hydro Cannon, and the clash between the two continued unabated.

And the black-robed man's hand once again reached into his own robe before pulling out another Pokéball.

Then his body remained unrelaxed as he watched the vapor in front of him.

Suddenly his ears twitched and he heard the faint sound of air currents. Then immediately turned back and dodged. The Pokéball in his hand was also thrown out in a smooth manner.

A pillar of red-colored fire fiercely blasted past where he had just stopped.

And the Pokéball he had just thrown exploded in the air, where an Espeon appeared, its eye color turning pink.

Then there was a Psyblade that sliced right through it.

Then the sound of the Psyblade colliding with the ground rang out.

The black-robed man frowned, but did not was relieved.

But before that breath could be exhaled, Espeon's urgent shout came from his ears.

"Buoy!"

The black robe frowned, but without hesitation immediately lowered his head.

The red-colored pillar of fire once again blasted from there.

Black-robed man: ????

He glanced at Espeon in surprise.Espeon shook his head, then called out with equal surprise.

"Buoy..."

"...What's the meaning of having gone through it..."

Even if the black-robed man had seen a lot of strange things, he hadn't heard of anyone being "pierced" by a skill.

"Blastoise! Stop! Protect!"

"Pidgeot, Defog."

He casually threw another Pokéball, and a Pidgeot let out a clear cry before its wings flapped wildly and a strong wind exploded in place. It then blew away all the surrounding vapor.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the black-robed man also stood up once again.

Looking at the manifested humanoid not far away, the surprise in his heart increased.

"The pillar of fire just now... was it you who struck it?"

A bit of surprise was finally heard in the black-robed man's tone.

Rope didn't answer, just rubbed a fireball in his hand.

"Your Pokémon is strong..." said Rope with a smile on his lips.

"So I'll just have to use a little trickery. Otherwise I really couldn't beat you."

It wasn't that Rope was being polite, it was really the first time he'd seen a non-Legendary Pokémon that could take on a wave of Entei that he'd strengthened without showing any weakness at all...

And this Blastoise hasn't mega-evolved yet...

If he really wanted to mega-evolve, with the characteristics of the Super Launcher and the powerful waveguide in his body... Entei really might not be able to win.

The black-robed man looked up. both Deoxys and Darkrai's defeat was already showing.

"Come back."

The black-robed man spoke.

So Darkrai and Deoxys decisively drew back from the battlefield.

The goal of the plan had long been reached, and all the objectives had been accomplished for the most part, with only the last few Plate's Marks remaining to be collected.

Next...when the collection of Plate imprints was completed, the second step of the plan could begin.

And it was only then that Rope focused his attention on the black-robed man's Pokémon. Those two Legendary Pokémon were left aside for now, but the three ordinary Pokémon in front of them really did give off a sense of having weathered the storm.

Blastoise's shell had a prominent crack, not deep, but it must have grown some more later in life to make it look so shallow. And Pidgeot's claws were mottled with scars, and Espeon had a noticeable chip in one of his ears...

Rope didn't know what they'd been through, but the scars alone showed the grueling circumstances.

The black-robed man glanced at Rope, then shook his head and gently snapped his mask before a golden ring appeared, holding up a portal.

The black-robed man walking at the front turned his head to look at Rope.

"We will meet again."

With that said the black robed man walked through the door with his Pokémon.

Rope, on the other hand, was a bit lost in thought at this point. Not knowing what he was thinking about.

And further away, on a mountain peak, in the midst of the bitter cold wind, there was a woman in a bright, fashionable dress shaking her head with some slight pity. Then she waved her hand and disappeared into the sky full of wind and snow.

The wind and snow whistled, as if it was covering up the coming person's whereabouts.
