Logically speaking, the relationship between the Sinnoh Three Gods shouldn't be as tense as that between Groudon and Kyogre, who fight every time they meet, right?
Maybe they just don't see eye to eye?
Anyway, he doesn't have the chance to connect with Dialga and Palkia; so if they aren't invited, they aren't invited!
But what about Arceus? Naoki couldn't help but wonder. Is it possible to pull Arceus into the group?
In the movie "Arceus and the Jewel of Life," Arceus regained its sanity in the end.
Anyway, he promised Giratina that he'd join in the fun later and help get back at Arceus.
From Arceus's perspective, it should only see them as Trainers preventing the insane Arceus from destroying the world, just like Ash.
Once Arceus regains sanity, he can then send Arceus a Rotom Phone, claiming it's to better understand the world.
Just not sure if Arceus would accept the phone...
However, according to the game's background setting, Arceus in this world seems to be only a clone.
The true Creator God Arceus observes quietly from outside all cosmos, watching human and Pokemon development.
Compared to the clone Arceus, the true Arceus is quite fashionable.
It even developed its own Arceus Phone and gave it to those crossing over to the Hisuin Region.
One could say it's a Creator God keeping up with the times.

League Year 200, April 28.
On this day, Lono received Naoki's invitation and once again came from Levincia City to the ranch.
The event started because Naoki posted photos of the desserts he made on his social circle.
Lono commented, saying they look great, and she would love to try them!
The hospitable Naoki replied: When you next visit the ranch, I'll use them to welcome you.
So the next day, Lono arrived at the ranch.
Seeing Lono come over so quickly, Naoki was quite puzzled.
"Isn't it busy at Levincia Gym?"
Lono suddenly felt a bit guilty: "It's okay lately; taking a day off occasionally isn't a big deal."
Hearing this, Naoki nodded. If he recalls correctly, in some anime, Gym Leaders also stop challenges occasionally due to personal matters.
Sometimes they even need Trainers to help them finish tasks before returning to accept challenges.
That makes sense!
Lono spent a delightful day at the ranch.
Only at dusk did she leave the ranch.
Naoki watched as Dragonite flew Lono into the sky, recalling her praise of his cooking; he felt quite pleased.
For this lively and cheerful Gym Leader, Naoki really welcomes her frequent visits to the ranch.
In the Pokemon World, Naoki doesn't have many human friends: Geeta, the two professors, Alder, Leon, and some townsfolk.
But they don't meet often, only occasionally chatting online.
Whenever Lono visits, the ranch becomes lively, Pokemons find new friends, and Naoki gets a chance to talk human talk.
"Phew..."
Watching Dragonite's silhouette gradually recede, Naoki let out a long sigh.
But speaking of which, is this similar to Mikuri and Steven's relationship?
In the anime, these two are very good friends.
He chuckled and turned back, taking Koraidon and others home.
In the living room, the big brother Indeedee was cleaning up.
The little sister Indeedee smiled softly as she looked at Naoki.
Noticing the little sister Indeedee's expression, Naoki raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Hmm? Do you have something to say?"
Speaking casually, Naoki grabbed a piece of Translation Nuts Cake and sipped the red tea on the coffee table.
The little sister Indeedee nodded slightly, replying with a playful tone: "Love? Love!" (Lono really likes you - will she become the future mistress of the ranch?)
"Pfft——" Upon hearing this, Naoki spat out the tea due to the shock, making him choke.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough——"
The little sister Indeedee quickly stepped forward to pat his back.
After a while, Naoki finally felt better and immediately asked, "What did you just say?"
The little sister Indeedee blinked and repeated: "Love!" (Brother and I both sensed it, Lono really likes you!)
Being Pokemons that draw energy from emotions, the Indeedee siblings are very sensitive to human feelings.
Upon hearing this, Naoki was utterly shocked.
Lono likes him? Impossible, right?
He completely treated Lono as a friend!
Furthermore, Lono looks quite youthful; sometimes he even sees her as a junior like Ash and Lillie.
The little sister Indeedee showed confusion: "Love? Love!" (But we both sensed it - Lono has a fantastic impression of you!)
Beside him, Koraidon chimed in.
"Wagga!" (That's right!)
This left Naoki feeling quite surprised.
He cast a surprised glance at Koraidon: "You like Lono?"
Nearby, Cyclizar also curiously looked at Koraidon.
Koraidon pretended to play dumb: "Wagga..." (She's very nice...)
The little sister Indeedee nodded in agreement: "Love～" (That's right, I can feel it - Lono is a very kind human～)
Naoki: "..."
He suddenly felt a headache: "You must be mistaken; okay, this matter is over, don't mention it again!"
He didn't even know how to face Lono now.
Seeing Naoki like this, the little sister Indeedee had no choice but to temporarily skip the topic: "Love." (Alright.)
Naoki wanted to say more, but quickly his attention was diverted by another matter.
Because Steven messaged him again.
