This is the dwelling place of the Lake Trio, also known as the Three Saint Mushrooms.
After Arceus created the Space-time Three Dragons to shape the material world, he then created the Legendary Pokémon of the lakes to shape the spiritual world.
They are the God of Emotion Emuritto, the God of Will Azelf, and the God of Wisdom Uxie.
They once flew everywhere, letting creatures gain the "wisdom" that enriches life, the "emotion" of joy and sorrow, and the "willpower" to resolve to do good deeds, before settling in the different spaces of three special lakes, maintaining the balance of the spirit world.
Although the youngest and not very powerful at the beginning as bestowed by Arceus, both belonging to the direct lineage of those who Overcome Space-Time, they also possess unique special abilities.
The Power of the Heart that Fang Yuan possesses is the embryonic form of the ability obtained from Emuritto. The Power of the Heart, for Fang Yuan, has been of paramount importance in his growth journey and is the foundation of his position as the Heart Source Elf Master.
To Fang Yuan, the most important thing for a Trainer is the bond with his own Pokémon and the connection with other strange Pokémon. The most tangible manifestation of this bond for Fang Yuan is the resonance of the power of the heart, which determines how much power he can provide to a Pokémon.
When the Power of the Heart reaches a certain stage, Trainers can even jointly sense the damage in battle with their Pokémon, as if their hearts and souls are united. Although the side effects are severe, it can significantly enhance the strength of the Pokémon, allowing it to transform as though undergoing Mega Evolution. This is the power that Xiaozhi and Greninja have mastered, and Fang Yuan has naturally reached this stage too.
It's just a shame that hardly any battles have pushed Fang Yuan and his Pokémon to this extent.
Therefore, Fang Yuan suspects that Emuritto might have the ability to help Trainers and Pokémon develop Bond Evolution and Binding Transformation. As a descendant of the Arceus lineage, how could it truly be weak? After all, it's termed the origin of Emotional Strength, and the other two Pokémon certainly wouldn't be far behind.
"Ying~"
"Meow~"
"Mew~"
After Fang Yuan arrived, the Lake Trio that had been waiting for him appeared.
The pink and grey Emuritto, the blue and grey Azelf, and the yellow and grey Uxie, the trio stared at Fang Yuan with their watery big eyes.
It's time to hit the road!
To be precise, it's time to ascend to the heavens!
Fang Yuan: "..."
"Bwoo!"
Alright, alright, even though it sounds harsh, that's essentially the point.
To go to the Hall of Origin, one must ascend to the sky.
Following the Lake Trio's lead, Fang Yuan and Eevee walked toward the summit of Champion Mountain, aiming for what's known as the Pillar of Spear.
Legend has it that Arceus created three Legendary Pokémon, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, in this very concealed place. It's the location that the Pokémon World Galaxy Team once desired to enter—a place identical in different worlds. On Earth's side, the existence of the Pillar of Spear has always been concealed by the Lake Trio, and now, it is being opened to outsiders for the first time.
The Pillar of Spear on the top of Champion Mountain is located within a sealed cave, but it's unclear whether the inside of the cave is still on Earth. Once Fang Yuan and his party entered, it felt as though they had arrived in a different world.
There's hardly any light here, except for the weak glow from two rows of giant pillars, allowing the environment to be visible.
"But speaking of which, I always feel like Dream is hiding something from me..."
Walking among the Pillars of Spear, Fang Yuan was deep in thought.
Dream said he couldn't leave Earth spacetime, so the task of awakening Arceus in the Hall of Origin could only be left to him, the Guardian.
Is that really how it is?
"Bwoo! (What could Dream possibly have up his sleeve?)" Eevee consoled.
The most likely scenario is that Dream feared making a wrong judgment, disturbing Arceus's rest, and then being blamed. Thus, he's making you lead the charge.
It's not a big problem, not at all.
Walking ahead, the Lake Trio suddenly stopped.
They turned to face Fang Yuan.
[From here on, we leave it to you.]
[We will maintain the passage to the Hall of Origin.]
[Go and awaken Arceus with the tablet!]
"Understood, you can leave it all to me," Fang Yuan replied confidently, looking at them. At that moment, the Lake Trio was also filled with anticipation, wondering if they would rise in rank or fortune once Arceus awoke.
With a sigh... the three of them glowed all over, wrapped in pink, blue, and yellow light, floating in the air, forming a triangle. They then began to hum softly, as if singing, with a special melody emanating from them.
"♪♩♫♬♭♯..."
"♫♬♭♯♪♩..."
In a melody similar to the sound of a flute, their combined light shone upward. Up in the heights, a transparent platform materialized, connected to a long staircase descending, eventually arriving in front of Fang Yuan. The Lake Trio's singing continued, and without hesitation, Fang Yuan began to ascend.
"Speaking of which, do you have to keep singing to maintain the staircase?"
"Don't you stop now!"
Teleportation was unusable here, and as Fang Yuan walked, he expressed his concern.
Lake Trio: Less talking, just go! But they didn't dare to cease their singing.
"Eevee bwah!"
On Fang Yuan's shoulder, Eevee too wanted to experience the feeling of walking on the transparent staircase and leaped down to climb side by side with Fang Yuan.
The silhouette of one person and one Pokémon quickly vanished inside the Pillar of Spear, heading toward an unknown place.
