He turned his head and saw a being he had never encountered before traversing space and coming into the real world, heading straight for the immense meteorite that blotted out the sun.
Dozens of dazzling Plates shimmered around that being.
Within a few breaths, that being collided with the meteorite.
In an instant, heaven and earth changed color, all sounds vanished, and a massive shockwave lifted the dust from the ground, swiftly spreading in all directions.
Damos hurriedly used his arm to shield himself from the dust, looking at the sky in shock.
Amidst a deafening explosion, that colossal meteorite was directly obliterated!
Yet that sacred figure seemed exhausted, plummeting from the sky.
Numerous rays of light exploded from its body, transforming into meteors, shooting in all directions.
"What on earth was that?" Damos muttered.
A moment later, he sprinted towards the direction where the being had fallen.
When he arrived, he saw the being lying motionless on the ground, eyes tightly shut, devoid of any sign of life, even its color had become dull and lifeless.
Damos gazed at this savior of Midina, recalling the lights that had just separated from its body, thinking that perhaps returning those things might restore the being's strength!
Immediately, Damos sprang into action.
He searched everywhere for the massive Plates, going to great efforts to move them beside the being.
With the arrival of the first Plate, the being regained some strength.
Subsequently, the other Plates, as if controlled, flew from all directions, merging into the being's body.
Moments later, a Pokemon emanating a holier-than-thou glow levitated before Damos.
"Human, you have helped me, I will grant you one wish."
"A wish?" Damos became aware of the extraordinary nature of the being before him and pleaded: "If it is possible, I wish for my homeland to become prosperous!"
Arceus gazed at this human, then after a brief moment, five Plates separated from its body, forming a life-filled Treasure Pearl.
Then the scene shifted.
Midina, the day of the lunar eclipse was approaching.
Today was the day Arceus and Damos had agreed to return the Life Orb.
Arceus left its dimension and came into the human's world.
As usual, it landed before the temple humans built for it, then followed the guard's lead into the Shinre temple to see Damos.
Soon, Arceus met Damos, the human who had helped it, in a spacious grand hall.
"You should return the Life Orb to me." Arceus said.
In the next instant, Damos stretched his hand towards it, commanding: "Attack!"
Immediately, countless beams shot towards Arceus from all directions.
At that moment, Arceus realized what had happened.
These greedy humans had broken their promise, seeking to monopolize its Life Orb!
Rage ignited in Arceus's heart, its eyes turned blood-red, and despite its not fully recovered body, it summoned its immense power.
Almost instantaneously, everything around turned to ashes and dust, causing Damos to lose his life along with it.
"Damos, humans, you deserve judgment!"
In a mysterious dimension, Arceus, disturbed by dreams, suddenly opened its eyes.
Its sacred and majestic voice echoed throughout the space.
Arceus's gaze cast into the distant, the next instant, it flew towards that direction.
In League calendar year 201, July 5th, summer.
Suddenly, large dark clouds gathered in the clear skies of Midina.
The clouds covered the sky entirely, even hiding the sun behind, for a moment it seemed the whole world had darkened.
It was dark.
The farmers and Pokemon working in the fields raised their heads to look at the sky as they witnessed the unbelievable scene.
It was clearly just past ten o'clock in the morning, why has the sky suddenly darkened?
Just as confusion appeared on the faces of the people, a transparent ripple suddenly appeared high above.
The ripple gradually expanded into a circular space channel, from which countless entangled colored lights emerged, shortly after, a blood-red eyed Pokemon flew out from that channel.
"Huh? What's that?!"
The people on the ground opened their eyes wide as they watched the scene.
Arceus stood quietly in the high sky, using its eyes dyed red with rage to gaze down upon all of Midina.
The next moment, its Millennium Wheel brightened with golden light, rapidly condensing a terrifyingly powerful Energy Ball before Arceus's forehead.
"The time for judgment has come!"
Arceus slightly lifted its head, violently hurling the Energy Ball out.
As the Energy Ball sped towards the sky with terrifying speed, in the midst of a huge explosion, a horrific shockwave spread in all directions.
The densely clouded sky was stained red by the terrible light, the next second, countless light bombs erupted from the Energy Ball, descending upon this land like meteors.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of endless explosions resounded from the ground, the light bombs fell into the fields, into the towns, onto the plains, smashing the rooftops.
