Although Natsuhiko's appearance hasn't reverted back, in Victini's eyes, it's the same.
Because it never recognizes people by their appearance, but by their "Victory Halo."
"Melo?"
Meloetta blinked, looked at Victini, then at Natsuhiko.
A serious expression appeared on its small face.
Natsuhiko's expression slightly stiffened.
This is trouble.
I wonder what kind of relationship Meloetta and Victini have?
Meanwhile.
Reshiram's sapphire-blue eyes carried a hint of amusement as they landed on Zekrom standing behind Natsuhiko.
[Hmph!]
Zekrom turned away, snorting out two streaks of electricity.
And then there's this pair of brothers.
How do they get along?
However.
There's something even more headache-inducing for Natsuhiko, and that's Thundurus and Tornadus opposite him.
Their mouths agape, they stared at the Black and White Dragons standing on either side of Natsuhiko.
Reshiram and Zekrom.
This...
Thundurus and Tornadus exchanged a glance.
Just one Zekrom already made them feel immense pressure, and now there's also Reshiram...
Just who is this human before their eyes?!
In the history of the Unova Region.
There's never been a case where Reshiram and Zekrom, the "Hero of Truth" and "Hero of Ideal" Dragons, both acknowledge the same person.
A coexistence of truth and ideal?
The "Hero of Ideal" is also the "Hero of Truth"?
Even novels wouldn't dare write that way!
Click click click—
However.
More than the Twin Dragons, what made Thundurus and Tornadus hesitate was the four disc-like objects that descended and transformed immediately.
Their bright cannons locked onto them, filled with dense energy.
"Thundurus....."
"Tornadus....."
Let's talk things over, talk things over...
"Leader, where are the enemies? Is it them, should we eliminate them?" Little Fire asked enthusiastically.
Who knows what it's excited about.
Maybe it's eating well recently, with abundant energy.
"Hold on for now."
Natsuhiko currently doesn't have time to deal with them.
"Got it!" Little Fire nodded.
Then said to the other three Genesect: "The leader wants us to be on alert, if they dare move, then don't hold back, blast them!"
The other three Genesect nodded in agreement.
Under Natsuhiko's intentional guidance, Little Fire seemed on the brink of becoming their new commander.
Thundurus and Tornadus were nearly in tears.
He only said "hold on for now", how did you interpret so much information?
Regardless, they reluctantly kept still.
And Natsuhiko?
Victini clung to his right arm, Meloetta to his left, not speaking, just silently sizing each other up with their big eyes.
Reshiram flicked its cloud-like hair, smiling as it watched Zekrom.
Zekrom was aloof, acting like it didn't want to look at Reshiram.
[Zekrom, I've told you before...]
[Shut up! I met him first!]
Zekrom turned away, its eyes red as it glared at Reshiram.
Clearly, it made contact with Natsuhiko first; Reshiram was the later arrival!
Reshiram wasn't angered though.
Natsuhiko had said.
Being the older brother, you need to be gracious, know to yield, and let your younger brother have some space.
[And yet I recognized him first.]
Reshiram upheld Natsuhiko's teachings.
But the issue of first-come, first-served still needed to be sorted out.
[Does it matter?] Zekrom's eyes slightly widened.
[It does!] Reshiram's smile remained unchanged, but its sapphire eyes were unwavering.
Natsuhiko first took out two ice creams to soothe Victini and Meloetta.
Sure enough.
Once the two little creatures saw the ice creams, they forgot the subtle animosity between them.
They sat on Natsuhiko's shoulders, watching Reshiram and Zekrom bickering.
Honestly, Natsuhiko listening to Blue-Eyes White Dragon and True Red-Eyed Black Dragon...
Ahem.
Listening to Reshiram and Zekrom's conversation made him feel quite relieved.
At least the brothers didn't start fighting right away.
A conflict between truth and ideal.
But truth and ideal are tangled together, unable to exist independently.
The brothers had differences because they followed different people, differing in their philosophies.
Now.
Given they've both acknowledged Natsuhiko, the notion of opposition is just a jest.
"Alright, alright, brothers, we're family, what's the point of arguing. Here, have some Energy Blocks to calm your nerves."
Natsuhiko grabbed Reshiram's hand, while pressing against Zekrom's chest.
One side was a supremely soft touch, the other a mechanical-like metal body.
[Hmph!]
Zekrom raised its head, ceasing its argument.
Reshiram smilingly accepted the Energy Blocks, stopping its preaching.
Natsuhiko wiped the sweat off his forehead.
No wonder Rayquaza deals with Groudon and Kyogre's arguments by jumping straight into action.
Persuading them is much harder than defeating them.
At least the Twin Dragons aren't entirely opposed like Groudon and Kyogre.
Originating from the same source, their relationship is slightly better.
After soothing them.
Natsuhiko turned his attention back to Thundurus and Tornadus.
Pressed his lips together.
Giovanni had taken Landorus away, leaving a mess behind.
Without Landorus, what happens if Thundurus and Tornadus decide to cause trouble?
Do I have to rely on the Twin Dragons or Meloetta every time to calm things down?
Shook his head.
It's not a solution.
Thundurus and Tornadus felt a jolt inside when they saw Natsuhiko shake his head.
The cannon energy of the Genesect gathered more noticeably.
Natsuhiko walked to the Genesect's side, patted them indicating they should pause for now.
