"Whew, finally."
Rope wiped the sweat from his head, then looked at the giant tree in front of him and opened his mouth.
And after Rope opened his mouth, the branches and leaves of the giant tree moved without wind, as if they were greeting Rope.
Rope had a bright smile on his face, then said, "It's been a long time, Tree of Beginning. I'm here to see Mew."
As soon as Rope's words left his mouth, a pink kitten appeared in front of his eyes with a 'swish'.
"Mew~"
Mew came up and tore at Rope's hair to greet him. not to be outdone, Rope grabbed Mew's tail and yanked hard.
"Let go!"
"Mew! (You let go first!)"
"You first!"
"Mew! (I don't believe you, you go first!)"
"I'll count to three, two, one and we'll play together!"
"Mew mew! (Count faster!)"
"Three, two, one..."
And then the cat and the man never let go...
"I knew you're a deadbeat cat who doesn't keep his word!"
"Mew!!! (I knew you're a bad human who doesn't keep his word!)"
Tree of Beginning's branches swayed once again. It was like a person shook his head helplessly as he watched the scene...
Then the two of them just walked into the interior of Tree of Beginning. The pink crystal walls shimmered with a touching luster, and Rope knew that this was the true body of the Tree of Beginning.
It was said to be a tree, but in fact, the Tree of Beginning was made up of rock formations that looked like trees, and was a crystal life form that relied on light to replenish its energy.
It has a symbiotic relationship with Mew.
There was indeed more than just the one in the Tree of Beginning. At least Rope knows of another Mew that used to live in the ruins of the rainforest and could move around without being restrained.
Mew looks out of place, but still tugs on Rope's hair to lead him to the hole in the tree where Hoopa was placed.
Of course, Rope said hello to the Three Legendary Pillars on his way here. They were also the guardians of the Tree of Beginning. Only it wasn't a symbiotic relationship.
But the Three Legendary Pillars created by the King of Pillars wouldn't be much better than the Mew whose freedom was bound by the Tree of Beginning. After all, they received the same order to defend Tree of Beginning to the death.
After reaching the hole in the tree where Hoopa was, Mew let go of his hand and hid the black hairs in his hand behind his back as if nothing had happened.
Naturally, his little action didn't go unnoticed by Rope, but he took one look at the pink cat hair in his hand, and pretended that nothing had happened.
This was indeed a base card as well... as long as he had these hairs, Rope could always be in the process of making a Mewtwo out of it. After all, the method of making Mewtwo wasn't exactly lost.
Neither Blaine nor Mr. Fuji had passed away yet. If there really wasn't a way to deal with the Servants of God guys in the end. Then it would be a good thing to create Mewtwo to deal with the crisis first.
After all, even if the Mewtwo's would cause trouble afterward. That would also be something afterward. There was always room for negotiation.
Rope put the pink fur into the nano pouch he carried with him rather carelessly.Mew didn't care either. His fur was nothing to himself. Even if he knew that the other party had the technology to be able to create something as troublesome as Mewtwo, Mew wouldn't care very much.
Because the one who got this hair sample was Rope.
Rope wouldn't lie to him. Much less do anything to apologize to him.
If Rope was really going to do something over the top...then this over the top thing would have been the best option under the circumstances.
"Hoopa, what the hell is going on here?"
Rope's voice called Mew back from her own delirious wanderings. Mew looked at Rope's serious face and shook her head, "Mew~ Mew~ (Evil thoughts are fighting with Hoopa for control of his body.)"
Rope's brows also frowned when she heard this, even though Mew had mentioned this matter to herself before. But Rope still felt it was outrageous. Of course, he himself knew what an evil thought was, and this so-called evil thought, evil shadow, was still essentially Hoopa's portion of evil system energy. And it was mixed with the resentment and unwillingness of being sealed.
But this power and Hoopa have no master and slave to distinguish...
Power is just power. As long as the resentment is eliminated, it won't affect Hoopa at all. Because what controls Hoopa's consciousness and character is Hoopa himself, or rather Hoopa's experience.
After going through an education, Hoopa would naturally not make the same mistakes as before.
That's why the so-called fight for sovereignty, from Rope's understanding, didn't exist at all.
After thinking for a while, Rope could only think that there was a possibility that the Servants of God guys had moved against Hoopa's power.
Just like that black-robed man could weaken all of Arceus's powers. the problem with Hoopa's power could basically be concluded that it was their pot as well. rope had felt a long time ago that the evil thoughts of Hoopa at that time were molding just too fast... it didn't conform to the normal energy fluctuation laws at all.
"How am I going to help Hoopa?"
Rope's tone inevitably took on an air of urgency.
To say that he wasn't anxious was definitely nonsense. After all, Rope must have felt tricky when he saw that the other party had Hoopa's Golden Ring, or Interdimensional Hole, to help him out, after all, the other party's maneuverability was too strong.
So he made sure to figure out what was going on with Hoopa. And...more crucially, make Hoopa a booster for his side. Otherwise being passive was really not Rope's character.
"Mew? (In such a hurry? What's wrong?)"
Mew and Rope were familiar with each other, so Mew could hear Rope's bit of gravity and urgency. To be able to make Rope react like this, it was thought that the chaos outside wasn't small.
Rope also did not hesitate, but directly told all the things Mew. after all, really, he did not have a moment's time to see, Mew looks at a small child, but in fact live a long time, some things he may be due to the heart of the world, but also to the world of the world. Some things he may not want to think about because of his heart, but as long as he thinks about it, then with his experience, he should still be able to see some clues.
Mew closed his eyes and thought for a long time after hearing Rope's words, then shook his head...
He couldn't think of any clues either.
The power to suppress Arceus' Plate? Are you kidding? Do you really think that mercury is omnipotent?
Arceus was the god of creation, the Tree of Beginning that had existed for so many years had to honestly address 'Lord Arceus' in terms of seniority.
For such a god to have his power suppressed by a human...that's as ridiculous as someone binding Legendary Pokémon in a physical fight and then subduing him with a single red and white ball.
Rope could only shake his head helplessly when he saw Mew's skeptical cat-born expression, and it looked like even Mew couldn't give much help.
"Let's not talk about that, what about Hoopa here? When he wakes up asking him to acquire will give us new clues."
Rope asked, pointing to Hoopa on the stone platform.
Mew then woke up as if in a dream, then flew to Rope's side and pointed at Hoopa, "Mew mew mew... (I've knocked a crack out of his spirit world, you can go in through the crack and then find the consciousness of Hoopa's main body and just help him defeat the alien consciousness.)"
Mew's eyes also glazed over a bit as he said, "Mew, mew! (But I don't know what Hoopa's conscious world will be like. So there could be a lot of danger in it.)"
"Mew! (You have to be careful, if it's not possible, it's better to give up!)"
"Mu-ew! (After all, even though you won't really die in Hoopa's spirit world, it'll be troublesome if your spirit is injured!)"
It's definitely troublesome, because something like spirit damage isn't something that can be repaired that easily. Either you can recover naturally, or you have to absorb someone else's spiritual essence.
Like Grumpig's Black Pearl after death... except that very few people knew about it. And there weren't any rumors that if you absorbed enough you could awaken superpowers or anything like that, or Grumpig's life as a Pokémon would definitely not be good right now.
Rope touched Mew's head and said, "Have some faith in me, I at least just saved Arceus!"
Then Rope said with a serious face, "How do I go in? Are there any precautions to take once you're inside?"
Mew pointed to a blue light spot on Hoopa's forehead and said, "Mew! (Just hold that down.)"
Luckily, Rope and Mew are very familiar with each other, and Mew is a superhuman being with the ability to communicate with Rope, or else Rope, who didn't bring his Rotom, would really be in an awkward situation where he can't speak the language.
"Mew! Mew! (Be careful... don't interfere too much with anything within the world other than Hoopa and alien consciousnesses.)"
Mew's tone and expression become quite serious, "Mew! Mew! (That's dangerous. It will cause you to cause a backlash from the conscious world. It will cost you more than it's worth."
Rope nodded to signal that he was clear, then took a deep breath, a steely gaze appearing in his eyes, then stepped forward and pressed down on the blue broadside.
"Flop!"
Rope fell to the ground.
The corners of Mew's mouth twitched, he had just gone off on another tangent and hadn't looked then let Rope fall to the floor. Of course he didn't do it on purpose! How could he, Mew, watch his friend pass out on the floor while he snickered!
He gathered a smile at the corners of his mouth and then lifted Rope up with Confusion, then threw him onto the stone bed on the other side.
He used his powers to make himself an air bubble, then burrowed himself into it. Then yawned and fell asleep in it.
But from Rope's brow a blue thread was attached to the bubble. And a few moments later, the blue thread that was about ten times thicker received the blue dot on Hoopa's brow from the intermediary of the bubble.
And the surrounding crystal walls began to shift. Four pink crystal walls rose from the ground, and then they formed a hemisphere around Rope, Mew, and Hoopa.

Somewhere in an unknown cave
A beautiful woman in a cool, stylish dress with a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth stood before a ritual that looked full of bright implications, her mouth chanting.
"Lord of Light and Holiness, Leader of the Souls of the Holy Ones, Savior of the World with a heart of Mercy, King of the Celestial Saints. Your servant here prays for your coming."
Then a great holy light erupted from the midst of the ceremonial track.
A human form with holy light, whose face could not be seen, appeared.
And the very moment it appeared, the woman humbly half-kneeled on the ground, and then deadened her head, not daring to lift it halfway.
It was as if raising her head to look up was already an infinite blasphemy to that person.
"How is the progress of the mission?"
A voice rang out like a warm winter sun.
The woman lowered her head and respectfully said, "Sir, the mission is progressing smoothly. Some of it is going according to your plan, my lord."
The light shadow nodded, "Your heart voice tells me that you have encountered some trouble."
The woman's head hung lower, "My lord, I have seen another visitor from another world. But I did not feel the world reject him."
"It was the Company."
The light shadow filled with mysterious and sacred meaning uttered a word that was very inconsistent with his image.
"Pay no attention to it, and do not take the initiative against him. The two of you cannot have a direct confrontation."
"He will abide by the same rules."
The woman didn't ask any more questions, but simply said in a serious tone, "Yes my lord, by your will."
"The glory of the Sacred Realm will always shelter you."
"Thank you for your blessings my lord."

"Year, how is the situation on your side?"
In front of Year, a beautiful and noble woman with a crown and wearing gorgeous robes looked through the light screen at the youth in front of her who was sitting in a dangling position with a smile on his face. With a serious face, she opened her mouth and asked.
"Please have full confidence in our 'saviors', Your Majesty. Each of our company's 'saviors' are carefully selected, carefully sculpted, and fully prepared before being placed."
"Salvation, they are professionals!"
Year smiled gently, but for some reason, at the first sight of him, a first impression of 'he's a traitor' couldn't help but appear in his head.
The Queen shook her head and helplessly said, ''Why are you saying these platitudes between you and I. Year, I trust you. But I am also responsible for my citizens."
"Their most admired general has been missing for far too long..."
The smile on Year's face remained unchanged, just a moment of silence then, "Unika... just trust me."

Rope woke up leisurely, feeling the burning sensation on his body, and the poisonous sun, and the touch of the ground as he lay there.
"...What is this Hoopa guy up to? His inner world is a desert???"
"So impoverished? I thought that naughty guy would have gotten a playground out of his spirit world."
Saying that, Rope slowly got up and wiped a handful of sweat from his head while patting the sand on himself.
He then snapped his fingers and was relieved to find that he still had flames coming out of his fingertips.
Then he raised his head and looked around...
"Hiss, I'm a good judge of character!"
In the desert, a water park suddenly appeared not far away.
