Chapter 59: Is This How the World Was Formed?

The afternoon passed in the blink of an eye, and before long, the sun began to set.

"Boss, we're heading out now. See you next time."

Asuma's team emerged from the back, and Asuma himself addressed Ryo, who was still seated on the couch.

Ryo nodded. "Alright, see you next time."

Internally, he nearly let out a cheer—They're finally leaving! They've been here the whole day!

However, just as they were about to leave, Ino's gaze shifted toward Cynthia, who was focused intently on a Pokémon egg.

Seeing her serious expression, Ino's curiosity got the better of her, and she approached.

"Cynthia, what are you looking at? Is that a Pokémon egg?"

It wasn't a secret that Pokémon hatched from eggs—Ino was well aware of that.

But what was so special about this egg that Cynthia was staring at it with such concentration?

"Hmm?"

Cynthia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Ino. "Oh, Ino? This isn't just any ordinary Pokémon egg. This is the egg of a Mythical Pokémon."

"What?"

Ino blinked in confusion, and Asuma's team, intrigued by the conversation, also turned their attention toward the egg.

Ryo, on the other hand, felt speechless.

Judging by their reactions… they're probably not leaving anytime soon, huh?

Cynthia nodded. "Yes, Mythical Pokémon are creatures that exist only in legends. While some people have seen them, they are extremely rare. These Pokémon possess incredible power—though I'm not sure how they compare to Legendary Pokémon, they are certainly far stronger than ordinary ones."

At the mention of "Legendary Pokémon," the group's confusion deepened.

"Legendary Pokémon?"

A moment ago, they were still wrapping their heads around the concept of Mythical Pokémon, and now there was another category?

Cynthia hesitated for a second, then turned to glance at Ryo.

Wait… don't the people of this world even know about Legendary Pokémon?

Noticing Cynthia's gaze, Ryo scratched his head with an awkward smile. "I haven't mentioned it before. Besides, knowing about them too early wouldn't really help."

Of course, he wasn't going to admit that he just didn't bother explaining it.

Had it not been for the fact that Red had accidentally witnessed a Pokémon evolution, he wouldn't have explained that either.

Cynthia nodded in understanding. It made sense—this world didn't even have widespread knowledge about Pokémon yet. Talking about Legendary Pokémon at this stage might be too much.

However, Ino wasn't satisfied. Seeing Cynthia stop her explanation, she urged, "Cynthia, tell us more! What exactly are Legendary Pokémon?"

Instead of answering immediately, Cynthia glanced at Ryo again.

Ryo sighed. "Go ahead. It's fine."

Receiving his permission, Cynthia nodded and began explaining.

"According to legend, a long, long time ago, this world had no life. Then, a Pokémon known as Arceus—the Original One—created a group of Pokémon to shape the world."

"These Pokémon are called Legendary Pokémon. They possess immense power and domain over fundamental aspects of existence, such as time, space, the sky, water, and fire."

"As time passed, the world's elements took shape—time flowed, space stabilized, land formed, and water sources emerged. Eventually, both humans and Pokémon were born."

As Cynthia spoke, Asuma and the others stood frozen, their minds unable to process what they had just heard.

Wait… this isn't what we were taught. Is this really how the world was created? Is this how humans came to be?

And why had they never heard of these so-called Legendary Pokémon before?

Even Ryo was struggling to hold back his reaction.

Damn… she just straight-up dropped all that knowledge.

This isn't the Pokémon world. This is the Naruto world.

And she's casually saying Arceus created everything?!

His brain was starting to hurt.

"That's the story of Legendary Pokémon. Any other questions?" Cynthia asked, looking at the group, whose expressions were now completely blank.

"Uh… what about Mythical Pokémon?" Ino asked, still dazed.

Cynthia shifted her gaze to the Pokémon egg. "Like Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon are incredibly rare. In some cases, there may only be one of their kind in the entire world."

"However, unlike Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon aren't as all-powerful. Instead, they typically possess unique abilities or serve a specific purpose. That's about as much as I know."

Even as a Champion, Cynthia didn't have extensive knowledge about Mythical Pokémon. If she did, she wouldn't have been so intrigued by the fact that Ryo had a Diancie egg.

Asuma's team nodded slowly, though their expressions still showed that they were struggling to process everything.

They could accept the idea of Mythical Pokémon.

But Legendary Pokémon? That was a whole different level of absurdity.

If what Cynthia said was true, then even a single Legendary Pokémon could potentially destroy the world.

"Alright, I've told you everything I know. If you don't have any other questions, I'll get back to my research."

With that, Cynthia refocused her attention on the Pokémon egg.

Asuma and the others exchanged glances before turning to Ryo.

After a moment, Asuma walked up to him and asked seriously, "Boss, is what Cynthia said really true? Are Legendary Pokémon really that powerful?"

Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji also looked at Ryo expectantly.

Ryo shook his head. "It's not that simple. There are different levels of Legendary Pokémon. The ones Cynthia mentioned just now are the strongest—the Tier 1 Legendaries. But there are also Tier 2 and Tier 3 Legendaries, which aren't nearly as overwhelming."

Asuma and the others felt relieved at first, but as Ryo continued speaking, their expressions quickly turned grim once more.

Wait… Pokémon that control time and space actually exist?!

Ryo could tell what they were thinking. He shook his head, deciding not to explain further.

How was he even supposed to clarify this? Should he tell them that these Legendary Pokémon weren't originally from this world?

That might make it even harder for them to accept.

Or should he just say that these Pokémon would never actually appear?

That wouldn't work either—what if he managed to summon one in the future?

Rather than risk confusing them further, he figured it was best to let them process it on their own.

"Hm?"

Just then, Ryo suddenly felt a chilling aura. His expression grew serious as he turned toward the entrance of the wooden cabin.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Gardevoir appeared before him, her eyes filled with concern.

"Ryo, something ominous is approaching," she said.

Ryo gently patted her head. "I know. Don't worry."

Whoosh!

Right after, Dragonite flew over as well, its brows furrowed in concern.

Ryo gave it a small nod, indicating that he understood. His gaze remained fixed on the direction of the unsettling presence.

Seeing the two Pokémon suddenly appear, Asuma and the others were startled before curiosity took over.

What surprised them the most was Gardevoir's incredible speed—it had appeared in the blink of an eye, before they even had time to react.

But what intrigued them even more was—why had the atmosphere changed so suddenly?

Everything had been fine just a moment ago, so why did it now feel as if something ominous was about to happen?
