Of course, Arceus messed up this time too. Due to the excessive consumption of power, its body fell into a deep sleep, quite abruptly.
The Tablets scattered, and the Origin of Life was severely depleted. Under normal circumstances, Arceus would need to sleep for a very long time to recover, possibly for a million years, or even several hundred million years.
However, if all the Tablets are gathered, they could restore the Origin of Life in Arceus, allowing it to awaken ahead of time.
On Earth, the Pokémon World Trees were aware that the integration between the Pokémon World time-space shard and Earth was still unstable, posing the risk of space-time collapse. That's why they decided to entrust Fang Yuan with the task of finding the Tablets, in order to awaken Arceus early.
Otherwise, who knows what could happen by the time Arceus woke up naturally.
It's better to deal with potential space-time hazards sooner rather than later. This time, it's clear Arceus didn't handle the world-saving perfectly, which is why Fang Yuan ended up with this "arduous" task.
...
After that, Fang Yuan also started to be more forthright.
"Actually, I asked you guys to stay for a bit because I wanted to ask you for a favor," Fang Yuan said.
The Space-time Three Dragons looked at each other.
Especially Dialga and Palkia, they looked at the two Treasure Beads in their hands and knew they had no way to refuse.
They were completely bought over, controlled.
As for the Pluto Dragon, it also knew the Temporal and Spatial dragons would surely agree. If it didn't, wouldn't it be left out?
What if they collectively badmouthed it in front of Arceus and threw dirt on its name?
It couldn't refuse either.
The Space-time Three Dragons then looked at Little Hoopa, which had been lecturing them for a while, even more unsure of how to refuse.
"Roar!! (It's no big deal.)"
"Roar!! (Absolutely no problem.)"
"Roar!! (Just say what you need.)"
Each one was more decisive than the last. At this point, what else could they do?
Fate brought them together in this strange world, so they might as well keep Fang Yuan happy as much as possible.
"My good brothers!" Fang Yuan said in a moved voice, pumping his fist.
The next moment, a bunch of Poké Balls at his waist opened, and Eevee, who had been on his shoulder, also hopped down.
Introducing them one by one to the Space-time Three Dragons, Fang Yuan said, "This is Eevee, you've already seen it. Its Future Sight move and Spatial Ability are a bit stuck, and it needs your guidance."
The reason Eevee couldn't independently use Overcome Force was because of its insufficient mastery of Space-time Moves. After special training with the Temporal and Spatial dragons, it might not need the Tablet to use a lower-tier version of The power of punishment or something similar.
"(｡◕ˇ∀ˇ◕) Bwoo!" Arceus waved its paw to greet them.
"Roar!! (Hello, Big Sister Head.)"x3
The Space-time Three Dragons immediately greeted back; it wasn't too difficult a request to accept.
"This is Armed Magnemite, which also possesses some Spatial Ability, and it also masters Electromagnetic Power. Dialga, I would like to ask you to teach it how to control the Space Magnetic Field," Fang Yuan explained.
Pure Electric Series power was no longer Fang Yuan's only pursuit for the development of the Armed Magnetic Monster. If it were about pursuing Electric power, mixing with the Black Dragon was evidently the better choice. But in fact, Zekrom could no longer contribute much to its development; the Soul Heart's Electromagnetic Armament mode was already no less powerful than the Overfrequency Drive Mode. However, the combination of Spatial Force and magnetic field power was a different story.
For example, Tapu Koko in the Alola Region was able to use this technique to transport Pokémon and humans to a parallel world. Xiaozhi has been transported this way before. Besides that, by leveraging this ability, other Pokémon's Spacial Moves could be nullified, which might not increase its combat power much, but its practicality was very strong.
"Magnemite!!" the Armed Magnetic Monster greeted.
"Roar!!"x3
The three dragons could accept this too.
"This is Gengar. Because it ate a Platinum Bead Fragment from a parallel space-time, and also because of its own good talent, it has mastered many special Spacial Moves…"
"Koje!" Glutton looked at the treasure beads of the Space-time Three Dragons and drooled, then quickly wiped it away.
Space-time Three Dragons: ???
That was a bit too much.
"You must properly instruct Hoopa's apprentice!!" Just then, Little Hoopa suddenly spoke.
At Fang Yuan's big meeting, Glutton wished to learn Hoopa's Power from Hoopa, but as Fang Yuan guessed, with Little Hoopa's intelligence, it basically couldn't teach anything substantial. Every day, Glutton pampered Little Hoopa with good food and drinks but didn't obtain any significant results, which made Hoopa feel bad about it.
This time, they could take advantage of the Space-time Three Dragons to strengthen Hoopa's apprentice, which was simply perfect. Hoopa loved nothing more than to be a hands-off teacher.
Space-time Three Dragons: "..."
Alright, alright, you're the boss, you call the shots. But they were already on guard... They had to keep a close eye on their treasure beads.
If those got nibbled, they'd be devastated.
"This is Milotic."
"Miluu~~~" Facing the Space-time Three Dragons, Milotic still acted like a lofty princess but clearly expressed her desire to learn Aura.
She had no talent for Space-time Class Moves, but she was interested in Kyogre's sky sea tactics, which combined Aura, Wave Motion, and Water flow.
The Space-time Three Dragons lineage was also knowledgeable about Aura, predating even Dream. In particular, Palkia's use of Aura might suit Milotic even better than the World Tree Lineage's version.
"This is Dragonite."
"Booow!!" Dragonite was thrilled and danced around. She was eager to learn something new.
"You decide what to teach," Fang Yuan said. "If it doesn't work out, just beat it up every day, make it suffer a bit, and it will improve."
