Chapter 557: The Incredible Maze and the Heroic Expedition Team

"Al...Zeus?"

Hearing this, Naoki was stunned for a moment.

The person in front of me turned out to be Arceus!

You must know that compared to Arceus' clones, his true form has never been defeated. He is a true god that transcends all Pokémon in all worlds.

So far, He has only appeared once in the Xicui area hundreds of years ago, and has not been seen since.

No, no, shouldn't Arceus be outside all universes? Why did he come to his ranch?

Arceus stared at Naoki quietly. As an omniscient and omnipotent god, he quickly understood this human's thoughts.

"I came here for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Naoki couldn't help but ask.

Arceus turned his attention to the expedition guild not far away, with a hint of surprise in his mouth.

"I have created many worlds, worlds where only humans exist, worlds where only Pokémon exist, worlds where humans and Pokémon exist at the same time."

"According to my observations, in a world with only Pokémon, some Pokémon will gather together to form a small civilization circle, which they call an expedition guild."

"But in a world where humans and Pokémon coexist, nothing like this has ever been born. Most of the Pokémon here are used to living with humans. They rely on humans for everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"And now, something that shouldn't be in this world is born."

Having said this, Arceus looked back at Naoki.

"This is why I came here."

Naoki was stunned, frowned and asked, "Are you planning to destroy this tree?"

"No." Arceus shook his head slightly: "A new possibility has emerged between you and these Pokémon, so I want to leave something to you."

Hearing that Arceus was not here to destroy the tree, Naoki breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Arceus did not reply immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Naoki saw that the surrounding scene began to change.

The World Tree and the Expedition Guild disappeared, replaced by a deep and mysterious latitude.

Naoki stared blankly at the vast space in front of him, unable to recover for a while.

The next second, the scene in front of him began to change.

A dazzling light flashed, and countless worlds began to be born.

It was at this moment that Arceus' voice sounded again.

"I have created many worlds. As you can see, not all worlds are as peaceful and stable as the one you live in."

"Many of these worlds are facing the crisis of annihilation. At that time, the Pokémon living there will lose their lives."

The picture flashed by, and Naoki saw a planet where many Pokémon lived, a planet where only Pokémon existed.

In one part of the planet, a rescue team composed of Pokémon is engaged in daily exploration, resource collection and other activities.

And outside that planet, an extremely huge meteorite is flying towards the planet.

Seeing this scene, Naoki instantly felt blessed.

He probably guessed the purpose of Arceus' arrival!

It’s for the Heroes Expedition!

Arceus seemed to understand his thoughts again and continued:

"I have observed you for a long time, and even seen you in other parallel worlds, but only you here are special."

"You are the only one who cultivated this tree. Let's call it the World Tree!"

"You met a Pokémon, and such a great thing was born from the fateful encounter. Even I can't help but be amazed by it!"

Arceus looked at Naoki and said to him: "I will help you complete the last step of your wish and officially establish the Heroes Expedition Team."

After saying that, Arceus' thoughts moved slightly, and he took Naoki back to the top of the World Tree.

The next second, with a rumbling sound, the Slowpoke Fountain originally built at the center of the expedition team disappeared, replaced by a huge gate of time and space!

Naoki was completely stunned: "Is this...?"

Arceus explained: "This is the gate of time and space that I created. It connects all the universes. In your words, after the gate of time and space is the incredible maze. The Pokémon of the expedition team can enter it." Explore, help Pokémon in other worlds, and save those worlds that are about to be destroyed.”

"Naoki, this is the purpose of my coming here. I want to ask you to go to other worlds with those Pokémon who are kind and upright in heart to help the Pokémon there."

Is Arceus recruiting him to work for him with the Heroes Expedition Team?

How should we decide this kind of thing...this kind of thing? !

Naoki frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although he always wishes there was an incredible maze on the World Tree, where Pokémon can enter and explore freely, collect supplies, etc.

But when this time came, Naoki couldn't help but start to worry.

Arceus said that this gate of time and space connects all universes. Doesn't that mean that in addition to the universes of the incredible maze series, it also connects the universes where the red, green, and rainbow Rocket Teams are located?

It would be okay if they were red, green or the like.

If it were the Rainbow Rockets... that would be terrible.

However, Arceus seemed to see through his concerns and patiently explained:

"Don't worry, the time and space gate created by me can only be passed by those who are kind-hearted and upright and love Pokémon, so you don't have to worry."

But Naoki still had some concerns. What if Pokémon encountered danger in other worlds?

Naoki hesitated and asked, "Can I refuse?"

However, Arceus was not panicked at all. He just stared into Naoki's eyes and showed him the scenes of the destruction of those worlds.

The meteorite hit the planet, and a huge mushroom cloud appeared on the ground. The terrible fire and earthquake devoured the Pokémon mercilessly.

Naoki: "..."

Suddenly, he heard the calls of Meowth and Pikachu.

Naoki looked back and found that the Pokémon on the World Tree had woken up at some point. At this moment, they were all gathered here, looking at the picture shown by Arceus with moving expressions.

"Pikachu..." (How pitiful...)

"Meow!" (They died, so scary!)

"Meow?" (This Pokémon just said that if we go there to help them, will they be fine?) The little goat who was nurtured by the goat asked.

Hearing this, the Mililongs immediately said: "Meow!" (That should be the case. We can also invite them to live in the guild!)

Arceus asked: "Do you want to help those Pokémon?"

Naoki: "!!!" What a shameless alpaca!

Hearing this, the group of Pokémon hesitated. They looked at the expedition team guild and thought of the purpose of the expedition team that Naoki told them before.

It was to help those Pokémon who needed help...

Thinking of this, a Pokémon soon made a decision.

"Awooo!"

Under its leadership, more and more Pokémon agreed.

They all looked at Naoki, and their expressions seemed to say that they also wanted to help those Pokémon in need like Mew and Bear!

Naoki: "..."

Things have come to this point, and he can no longer stop it.

After a moment of silence, Naoki asked: "I only have one request."

Arceus nodded slightly: "No matter what it is, I will agree to it."

Naoki: "We must ensure everyone's safety."

Arceus pondered for a moment, and then recalled some devices developed by humans in the world, and nodded:

"Okay, I will give you some Arceus teleportation bracelets, just wear it on your body, and once you are in danger of life, you can trigger the power of space in it and automatically teleport the Pokémon back to the guild."

Hearing this, Naoki was slightly stunned: "Can this kind of thing be done?"

Isn't it exactly the same as the teleportation function in the game?

Arceus nodded slightly: "I am the God of Creation. To you, I am omniscient and omnipotent."

As he spoke, a ball of golden light suddenly flew out from Arceus' body and floated in front of Naoki.

Naoki looked closely and saw a mobile phone that was all white and decorated with a thousand wrists similar to the one on Arceus.

That is... Arceus mobile phone? !

Naoki recognized it at a glance. In "Pokémon Legends: Arceus", Arceus gave an Arceus mobile phone to Xiaozhao.

"In addition." Arceus continued: "This thing is the Arceus mobile phone, created by me. You can use it to check the experience of each Pokémon during the expedition. Once anyone is in danger, the Arceus mobile phone will automatically remind you. At that time, you can go yourself or send other Pokémon to support."

Naoki: "..."

Arceus thought quite thoughtfully.

He reached out to take Arceus' phone, and the moment he turned on the screen, he saw a row of things similar to the Pokémon Encyclopedia on it.

Arceus automatically registered the information of every Pokémon on the World Tree, even Mewtwo and Groudon.

Naoki clicked on Mewtwo's little avatar, and then saw Mewtwo's detailed information.

[Mewtwo

Height: 2m

Weight: 122kg

Commission: None

Current location: World Tree

Physical condition: Healthy]

There is also a row of things similar to career resumes below.

[On July 5, 201, the League Calendar, Mewtwo was observing the existence that claimed to be Arceus's body. ]

"It seems that you have learned how to use it." Arceus said: "Go! Go and help those Pokémon and worlds that need help!"

As soon as the voice fell, Arceus suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

A moment later, Arceus' figure disappeared.

He left the World Tree and left this world.

Naoki looked at the Arceus phone in his hand, and felt a trance for a moment.

The Pokémon on the World Tree also lowered their heads and looked at the teleportation bracelet that appeared in their hands.

In addition to these, Arceus also gave a lot of bracelets to pile up next to him, forming a small hill, which seemed to be prepared for new members to join in the future.

They also heard what the Pokémon just said, and they knew the function of this bracelet very well.

The Wood Gecko seemed very happy: "Chafu!" (This way we don't have to worry about encountering danger!)

The bracelet will bring them directly back to the World Tree at that time.

"Lucky~" Jigglypuff nodded happily, and then it would use tree fruits, life goat milk and holy ash to help heal the wound according to the injury!

Jigglypuff, who is temporarily serving as the president, is also very happy.

It will go to those worlds with Charizard to collect commissions, and then bring them back to the World Tree, post the commissions on the guild's bulletin board, and wait for everyone to complete them!

Hearing this, the other Pokémon present expressed their ideas.

Tyrannosaurus said that it would run the prop store well and provide everyone with the props needed for the adventure!

Babu Tubo's parents said that they would take good care of the hens and collect eggs to make delicious dishes for everyone!

Pikachu and Meowth said that they would work hard to run the Pokémon Tavern and provide delicious fruit wine for the Pokémon returning from the adventure!

Tropical Dragon said that it would prepare sweet banana fruits for everyone!

The geckos said that they would work hard to cultivate fruit trees, plant farmland, and prepare enough supplies for everyone!

…

Naoki: “…”

Listening to the heated discussions of these Pokémon, Naoki couldn’t help but feel helpless.

He roughly understood their feelings, as if the moves he had practiced for a long time could finally come in handy today.

Forget it, since Arceus can guarantee their safety, he can rest assured!

But then again, Arceus said that humans from other worlds can also come to this world through this time and space gate.

The group of Rainbow Rocket Team was restricted from entering, so what about Red and the others?

Naoki’s mind appeared the scene of Red mistakenly entering the World Tree and challenging the legendary Pokémon layer by layer...

Forget it, Pokémon may not meet Red by chance, not to mention that there are so many worlds. If Pokémon don’t lead the way, maybe no one will come here at all.

After giving instructions to the Pokémon, Naoki turned around and left the expedition team guild.

Because he had to tell Mew and Baby Bear about this news, Arceus came suddenly, and he didn't bring his Rotom phone.

And Arceus' phone didn't have the function of making calls...

With Arceus's departure, the time of this world was also lifted.

When Naoki returned to the ranch, Gulton and Motorlizard were looking for him everywhere because he disappeared.

Seeing Naoki coming back, a group of Pokémon ran up and asked him where he had gone.

Naoki touched Motorlizard's head and explained to them helplessly: "Me? I met a very powerful guy. He wanted me and everyone in the World Tree to do something for him to help Pokémon in other worlds who need help..."

Gulton understood in his heart, but Motorlizard seemed to understand.

So, Naoki walked into the house and explained to it in detail what he had just encountered.

"He is Arceus, but not the Arceus we fought, but his body..."

*

In the reversed world.

Arceus did not leave this world immediately.

He floated above, quietly looking down at Giratina who was lying on the Flower Sky Island and playing with the Rotom Phone.
