On the screen—
Everyone finally saw what was happening.
"There are people!!"
It seemed to be an ancient city.
A raging inferno engulfed it, while thunderbolts struck from the sky from time to time.
The fire—
Had clearly been caused by the lightning.
"Blastoise, use Water Gun!"
"Poliwag, Water Gun!"
"Sandshrew, Sand Attack!"
"Lapras, use Ice Beam!"
…
Figures moved through the flames—
Commanding their Pokémon to extinguish the fire.
To people of the Pokémon world, this was completely normal.
But to viewers from other worlds—
It gave them pause.
One Piece World
"So the humans in that world don't have power themselves… they command strange creatures to fight for them."
Sengoku stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Sugoi! Sugoi! That's amazing! They can shoot fire and water!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled.
Naruto World
"Interesting… humans are ordinary, but those creatures can use abilities similar to ninjutsu."
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with interest.
"And those Legendary Pokémon possess world-destroying power…"
Dragon Ball World
"What a low-level world."
Frieza flicked his finger, instantly shattering a massive asteroid into dust.
"Humans themselves have no strength. True power comes from one's own body."
Killer Seven World
"See that, Seven? People in that world are weak individually. They rely on those fire- and water-spitting pets."
Chicken Dabao suddenly felt inspired.
"You're stronger than them! Go assassinate them—easy kills!"
"Starting tomorrow, we sell beef offal by day, and train assassination by night!"
Digimon World
"Agumon, that world looks a lot like ours."
Taichi said thoughtfully.
"Humans are weak, but their partners are powerful."
Many powerful Digimon also frowned.
This world resembled theirs—
But wasn't the same.
Those creatures—
Were living beings of flesh and blood.
Unlike Digimon, which were data given form.
Back to the Video
With the combined effort of humans and Pokémon—
The city's fires were extinguished.
But—
One place remained.
A towering structure—
Engulfed in flames that refused to die out.
No matter how many Water-type Pokémon used Water Gun—
The fire wouldn't weaken in the slightest.
Nearby—
Another tower stood intact.
"The Bell Tower?! Isn't this my hometown—Ecruteak City?!"
Inside the ruins, an archaeologist cried out.
"This must be ancient Ecruteak City…"
Though the city looked completely different—
The Bell Tower was unmistakable.
"And that burning tower… that must be the Burned Tower!"
"Ecruteak City originally had two towers—the Bell Tower and the Burned Tower."
"But long ago, the Burned Tower was destroyed in a sudden fire."
He grew increasingly excited.
"Legend says that every so often, the three Legendary Beasts—Entei, Raikou, and Suicune—appear at the Burned Tower."
"This must be Entei's story!"
"This fire… Entei must be the one who extinguishes it!"
"And maybe… this isn't just Entei—it might be all three Legendary Beasts ranked together as ninth place!"
The video continued.
The flames engulfing the tower seemed unnatural—
No matter what, they wouldn't go out.
"Everyone retreat! The tower might collapse!"
"…Looks like the Burned Tower is lost…"
trainer began withdrawing, commanding their Pokémon to retreat.
Then—
"There are still Pokémon trapped inside!!"
A voice cried out.
Everyone looked up.
Within the blazing tower—
Three small figures were visible.
Surrounded by flames—
Helpless.
They were small, brown, fox-like Pokémon—
With fluffy tails and large ears.
Three of them.
The people of the Pokémon world immediately recognized them.
Three Eevee.
trainer tried to send Flying-type Pokémon to rescue them—
But the flames were too intense.
They couldn't get close.
The three Eevee huddled together.
The fire closed in—
Bit by bit.
Everyone held their breath.
"Where are the Legendary Beasts?!"
"Hurry and save them!!"
"Isn't this Entei's story?! Why hasn't it appeared yet?!"
"Come on—Entei!!"
Countless people shouted anxiously.
They wanted to rush into the screen—
To save them themselves.
Then—
BOOM—!!!
The flames surged violently.
And in the next instant—
The fire engulfed them completely.
No miracle came.
No reversal.
The three Eevee—
Were consumed by the flames.
Cynthia and the others were frozen.
They…
Had died.
Watching the three small Pokémon cry out in agony before falling silent—
Everyone felt their hearts twist in pain.
Why?!
Why didn't the Legendary Pokémon appear?!
Why didn't anyone save them?!
At that moment—
"KREEEEE—!!!"
A sharp, piercing cry echoed across the sky.
The raging flames—
Suddenly froze.
As if time itself had stopped.
"—Moltres?!"
"No—wait, is that Entei?!"
Cries of shock rang out.
But—
They were wrong.
The camera shifted.
High above—
A brilliant rainbow appeared.
And within it—
A bird-like Pokémon descended.
Its body glowed with golden light.
Its feathers shimmered in seven radiant colors—
Each one shining with dazzling brilliance.
The moment it appeared—
All things seemed to bow.
It became the center of the world itself.
Not Moltres.
Then…
What was this Legendary Pokémon?!
Across countless worlds—
Powerhouses felt their hearts tremble.
Even without releasing any aura—
Just seeing it—
Made their bodies instinctively react.
Especially those who wielded fire—
Ace.
Natsu.
The Fire Demon.
Genryūsai Yamamoto.
They all felt it most clearly.
Their power—
Was trembling.
Submitting.
As if—
This being was the absolute sovereign of all flames.
One Piece World — Moby Dick
"Marco! What's wrong with you?!"
Marco suddenly collapsed to the ground.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
His Phoenix fruit power—
Was shaking.
This was—
A suppression from bloodline itself.
With a gentle flap of its wings—
The seven-colored Legendary Pokémon—
Extinguished all the flames on the tower instantly.
The Burned Tower—
Was left in ruins.
Only charred remains remained.
At the top—
Three bodies lay there.
Burned to charcoal.
The Pokémon world fell into silence.
Why…
Why didn't it come sooner?
"What… what is it doing?"
Golden flames suddenly ignited across the Legendary Pokémon's body.
The moment those flames appeared—
Marco uncontrollably transformed into his phoenix form—
And collapsed, kneeling on the ground.
The Legendary Pokémon spread its wings—
Golden flames enveloped the three Eevee.
Then—
Three lights appeared—
Yellow. Red. Blue.
They merged into the bodies of the fallen Eevee.
And then—
Before everyone's disbelieving eyes—
The three Eevee—
Came back to life.
Brilliant white light burst forth from their bodies.
This was—
Evolution Light!!
As the light faded—
And their forms were revealed—
...
The entire Pokémon world fell into absolute silence.
Everyone's eyes widened.
They had just witnessed—
Something impossible.
