March 7, 2026 in the Union calendar, a special day that will be recorded in the history books of Carlos by posterity.

On that day, the god of life, Jernias, entered the world for the first and last time.

In early spring, the city of Miare is particularly beautiful, with the tall feather trees lining the Boulevard in full bloom and the slowly flowing crimson petals of the city that flow like music into the rain, paving a gorgeous road leading to Miare's Central City Park.

This world-famous avenue receives hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every day, but on one day during the most beautiful time of spring, only one person and one deer stroll through it.

"Actually, I don't know much about the city, so it's a bit wrong for you to let me be a tour guide."

Xia Chen walked beside the handsome Zhernias, only to feel that the already beautiful scene like a painting was even more dreamlike.

He really didn't expect Zernas to agree to his request at once, and he was ready to let Menas fly over with his parents.

But it is not entirely true to say that this god of life is a selfless and loving mother, and when he first arrived in Miare, which caused a huge sensation, Zernhas did not let those excited zombie-like people come within a hundred meters of him.

It even punished a few guys who threw Poké Balls at it without knowing the height of the sky.

Xia Chen thought that when this kind of thing happened, Zhelnyas would probably leave in a fit of anger, but it unusually offered to let Xia Chen take it around the capital of Carlos.

And although Zernhas has shown an attitude of "no one should be approached" with his actions, the citizens of Miare still have great enthusiasm for the arrival of this legendary god of life.

For example, now, countless people gather on the side of Spring Avenue to watch Xia Chen and Zernas strolling in the rain of flowers, holding mobile phones or professional cameras in their hands, and constantly pressing the shutter.

Perhaps one of these photos will appear on the front page of the daily Miare the next day.

Not very disgusted by the constantly flashing flashing lights, Zernas replied faintly, "It's okay, it's just that it's been a long time since I've been to a human gathering place." ”

Xia Chen asked curiously, "Has His Excellency Zernhas been to other cities before?" ”

"I guess it was before the last time I fell asleep, not even a city."

"At least not compared to here," said Zernias. ”

Before the last time I fell asleep. That was at least three thousand years ago, when AZ was still alive and the kingdom of Ancient Carlos had not yet fallen.

Xia Chen calculated and said with a smile: "Three thousand years may be just a sleep for you, but for human beings, it means hundreds of generations of inheritance and rapid development. ”

Zernas said lightly: "So it is you humans who rule this planet. ”

Xia Chen chuckled, "Rule, then we may be the weakest rulers, any legendary elf can appear and overthrow the rule." ”

It would definitely be an exaggeration to say that it was just one, but a legendary elf that can reach Xia Chen's [World Extinction Level] standard should not be counted in one slap.

The infinite gigantic Infinite Tyna, the ultimate Necrozma, the third god of Pardea that he has not yet seen, the liberation of Hupa, and of course, the creator god of Arceus.

According to the legend, the Holy Pillar King Rejichkas who can drag the continent is also counted as one.

Therefore, Xia Chen, who crossed over from another world where human beings were in an absolutely dominant position, never regarded human beings as rulers.

Isn't the Ultimate World next door the best example of this?

The level of science and technology is more developed, but the electric switch is pulled, oh no, just play it.

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

So Xia Chen never felt that human beings were the masters of this world.

…………

"By the way, I'd like to ask you something."

His thoughts diverged to the ultimate world, and Xia Chen asked Zhernias about this matter by the way.

Although Carlos and Alola are far apart, and they can't be beaten in the original games, anime, and comics, he still wants to give it a try.

Zernas nodded inexorably and said, "You say." ”

Xia Chen pondered his language for a moment and said, "That's right, I went to another world some time ago, and the ecological environment there is very bad."

It didn't take long to elaborate, he just gave a general introduction to the ultimate world, but Zernas fell into deep thought after listening.

Xia Chen didn't disturb its thoughts, but waited quietly on the side.

After about half a minute, Zernas said: "It's a bit bizarre that the sun disappears. Maybe it's gone? ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly bitterly, could he not know the bizarre?

Anyone who knows a little bit about the natural sciences knows the importance of the sun as a star to the earth.

If there is a crisis in the sun, it is not as simple as losing sunlight and destroying the ecology, so Xia Chen also thought about whether it was not the sun that disappeared, but that the ultimate world was completely shrouded by a layer of opaque substance.

This conjecture is a bit outrageous, but some elves may be able to do it.

Xia Chen was thinking about it, and Zernas said, "I don't know if the sun has disappeared or not, but the ultimate beast you described has fallen into a state of thoughtless mania. It happened here a long, long time ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Chen immediately became energetic.

He hurriedly asked, "When?" What is the reason? How did you solve it in the end? ”

Zernas didn't answer immediately, just looked at Xia Chen quietly, as if waiting for him to calm down.

Xia Chen smiled bitterly: "Okay, come one by one." ”

"The first question," replied, "from now on, before I fell asleep for the third time. ”

Xia Chen nodded and muttered, "That was about 10,000 years ago."

The earliest civilization of mankind was born more than 5,000 years ago, and the events of 10,000 years ago can only be known by legendary elves like Zhelnias.

Zernas continued: "Carlos's landscape was very different from what it is now, and humans or Homo sapiens were just ordinary elves. ”

Xia Chen: !

Chatting with a big guy like Zhenias can really eat amazing melons, human beings, or unevolved human beings, are essentially elves!

It's no wonder that the humans in this world have a physique close to that of a "super real new townman".

However, it stands to reason that evolution is for better survival and reproduction, so why do human beings lose the characteristics of elves the more they evolve?

For example, the ability to use moves, this skill can obviously help humans survive and develop better.

The answer to this question is definitely not something that Xia Chen can come up with just by thinking about it.

For now, it's more important to figure out the root cause of the Ultimate Beast's mania.

…………

The first elf to be agitated, or to fall into an irrational state, was Impeltar, and although it was stupid before, it was not incapable of communicating.

This "stupid" evaluation made Xia Chen laugh secretly, Zernas looked indifferent, but he actually had some small emotions.

He didn't say it, but continued to listen to Zernias.

"The [black mist] you spoke of quickly spread from Ipeltar to most of the elves affected by it, and they attacked everything around them indiscriminately as if they were crazy."

Hearing this, Xia Chen frowned slightly.

This state is a little different from those Ultimate Beasts, if you want to describe it, the Ultimate Beasts are like being infected with another zombie virus, and they will not attack their own kind, but will attack humans who are not contaminated by [Black Mist].

It may not seem as serious as the one 10,000 years ago, but the consequences are much greater.

Because attacking each other means that there is no unity within the "infected group".

Sure enough, Zernias's next account confirmed Xia Chen's conjecture.

"Although the eroded Ipeltar and those elves have gained more power, because of their internal friction, the pressure on our side is not really great."

Xia Chen suddenly interrupted, "You mean, there are some elves that are not eroded by the black mist?" ”

Zernas glanced at Xia Chen and said calmly: "I'll explain later, don't you intervene?" ”

Xia Chen sneered, "Okay, I won't interject." ”

But I muttered in my heart, after a long time, I saw that the words of people's hearts were really true, how long has it been, and the previous cold and divine character has collapsed

"It was Kiggled who broke the deadlock, who sensed the serious damage to the ecological balance in the Carlos region, and intervened, and after three years of war, we won, and we won miserably, but we also discovered the culprit that caused it. ”

It paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "That's the one that parasitizes Ipeltar. The energy aggregate, it has no intelligence, only instinct, the instinct that emits [black mist], and that black fog can make the elves abandon their thinking and completely fall into negative emotions such as despair and mania. ”

Xia Chen's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "It's a dark substance."

"It's not that you don't."

Zernias's scolding stopped abruptly, and it froze and asked, "Do you know that thing?" ”

Xia Chen replied: "It's very similar to a substance I know, but I don't know if they are one." ”

Zernhas nodded, "You go on." ”

Xia Chen pondered for a while and said: "The dark matter I know is a combination of negative energy conceived by the collection of various negative emotions of the elves living in this world, its existence is inevitable, and its ultimate purpose is [to return the world to the void]"

Legend has it that it appears on the Tree of Life, and as negative energy gathers, it becomes more and more threatening to the Tree of Life. If the Tree of Life loses its rich life force, then the entire planet will lose its vitality, and the planet will lose its speed around the sun, and eventually it will be destroyed by crashing into the sun. ”

"In addition to this, Dark Matter is able to control the minds of elves with negative energy, allowing them to infect more spirits as they wish, thereby absorbing more energy and making Dark Matter stronger on its own."

…………

If Xia Chen is just an ordinary Pokémon animation fan, he really doesn't know this "cold knowledge".

Because [Dark Matter] doesn't appear anywhere in the main game or in the anime manga, the only work it appears in is [Pokémon Super Incredible Labyrinth].

Xia Chen happened to play that game.

In fact, he didn't have a deep impression of that game, so he didn't connect the anomalies of the ultimate world with dark matter.

It wasn't until Zernhas mentioned that Carlos had suffered a similar incident that he thought about the existence of this thing.

Because in the game's plot, it was the dark matter that controlled Ipeltar and several other elves, which led to a series of subsequent events!

It is not an elf, but it is more powerful than an elf.

Because it is a collection of the negative emotions of the elves, the substance that necessarily exists in the accompanying world.

At the end of the plot, it is the protagonist, Zhernias, Mewtwo, Liekuza, and Daiochisis who work together to stop the conspiracy of the dark matter and expel it to the void world.

You can see how tricky this thing is.

Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but ask, "You and Kigeld solved it?" ”

Zhenias, who was still pondering Xia Chen's previous story, looked up and said strangely: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Chen frowned slightly, and muttered, "It doesn't make sense, just the two of you"

Zernias: "."

Do you hear this speak in human terms?

It's just the two of us! Is Kigeld and I weak!

Xia Chen was keenly aware of some subtle emotions in Zernias, and he hurriedly explained: "I mean, it didn't disappear, but went to another world, and it seems to have evolved and become more tricky. ”

Zernas was not angry, and calmed down and said, "It does sound so, the situation you described is much more serious than it was 10,000 years ago. ”

What Xia Chen didn't say is that there is another possibility-

Perhaps the Dark Matter chooses to parasitize the ultimate Necrozma much stronger than Ipeltar.

In short, no matter what, this inadvertent communication with Zernhas made Xia Chen gain a lot.

The good news is that he has sorted out the truth of the ultimate world.

The bad news was that it was much worse than he had imagined.

Xia Chen originally thought that his opponent was just a blackened Ultimate Necrozma.

It's hard to do, but if I shake Zernias, Super Spirit, and even Infinite Tai over, how will Your Excellency deal with it?

But now that the opponent has one more [Dark Matter], which can be called one of the world's origins, Xia Chen is really not sure.

You must know that the original plot has gathered the power of more than five [first-level gods], and they are all mature Mewtwo, Liekong Zao, Daiochisis, XY Twin Gods, and other big guys.

is either the cover god, or the main of his own independent movie, the lineup is so luxurious that Xia Chen drools when he sees it.

On the other hand, I don't want to say that I can shake it or not.

How to persuade the big guys to go to the ultimate world to help is a problem.

After all, it is the earth that is to be destroyed in the game, and as one of the creatures on this planet, it is naturally the responsibility of the earth to save it.

But now it's time to save the ultimate world.

To put it mildly, what does it matter?

Even Xia Chen himself was hesitating whether to continue to help the Dark Matter Metropolis.

Tired, destroy
