The Chi-yu was even more anxious than Axel. Its bulging fish eyes were completely devoid of hope.
The jade rings on its eyelids kept flashing, the surrounding magma bubbling violently, as if even its brain was about to burn out.
All of a sudden, a streak of white light appeared at Axel's waist, and a chill descended.
Glastrier shot Giratina a look of disappointment, as if scolding it for failing to meet expectations. Even through the Poké Ball just now, it had sensed Axel's intentions, yet this guy only knew how to press the Chi-yu's head down?
As a general, it was practically about to turn into a civil official here.
"Neigh!", Cold air surged from Glastrier's body, and a lifelike courtroom, just like something straight out of a TV drama, appeared. It even conjured up a few underlings holding execution rods.
Meanwhile, it and Axel respectively took on the roles of the advisor and the county magistrate.
The Chi-yu was completely dumbfounded.
Glastrier kicked with its hoof, and with a loud smack, an icy command token slammed onto the Chi-yu's forehead.
["Impudent Chi-yu! How dare you deceive my lord?"]
["Hurry up and reveal your companions' locations as compensation for the mental distress caused to my divine master!"]
Axel's lips curled upward, 'Nice.'
This was the kind of treatment a trainer should have. Things he wasn't comfortable doing himself, there were always Pokémon to handle.
The Chi-yu didn't feel anything was wrong at all. Its eyes lit up instantly as well.
'Right!'
'How can I forget about that?'
'The locations of other three good brothers, isn't that ready-made information?'
Anyway, once they came out, they'd definitely cause chaos in the world. As soon as they showed up, they'd still end up getting their heads stomped into the ground by this Giratina.
By selling out its three old friends now, it wouldn't affect them in the slightest, and it might even save them from getting beaten up once.
The Chi-yu thought for a moment, then started speaking, words pouring out like beans from a bamboo tube.
["The four of us took form from bamboo slips, a sword, a cauldron, and jade. Back then, we were sealed in the Shrine of Withered Wood, the Shrine of Frozen Cracks, the Shrine of Dust, and the Shrine of Fire Calamity."]
["At that time, someone recorded the king's evil deeds on bamboo slips, and was punished for it. His resentment wrapped itself around fallen leaves and turned into Wo-Chien."]
["It can absorb the power of plants, causing nearby forests and vegetation to wither, and crops in the fields to fail."]
["The Shrine of Withered Wood where it is located is at…"], As the Chi-yu spoke, Raifort smoothly took out a modern map of Paldea.
The Chi-yu formed a finger out of flames and pointed toward the South Province (Area One).
"It's right here!"
Hearing this explanation, Axel nodded slightly.
He had once wondered why, in a world rich in resources and with severely excessive productivity, a vast kingdom could still decline so easily.
Now it seemed that Wo-Chien had a very direct connection to that.
However, Wo-Chien's power didn't have much to do with emotions, so Axel wasn't particularly interested.
"What about the others? Keep going."
The Chi-yu nodded, "The second is Chien-Pao. Before taking form, it was a sword, and during the struggle over it, many people died by its blade."
"The hatred of those people wrapped itself around the snow, turning into Chien-Pao."
The Chi-yu once again formed a flaming hand and pointed at the map, "According to the map this young lady provided, it's in West Province (Area One), right here!"
"As for the last one, Ting-Lu, it was born from the fear people had toward royal authority at the time, taking the form of a Pokémon during ancient rituals and gaining the power of fear."
As it spoke, the Chi-yu obediently pointed out another location on the map.
Axel nodded, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
At first, he had thought they were just secondary legendary Pokémon. The reason he came looking for them was simply because he was already here, so he might as well see if fate would bring them together.
He hadn't expected these four calamity Pokémon to have such powerful effects.
Aside from Wo-Chien, whose power seemed a bit lacking, only having a rather shallow influence over life force, the other three calamity Pokémon each had something special.
There was no need to say much about the Chi-yu's power of jealousy. It could directly ignite the jealousy within a person's heart. Whether in single-target damage or large-scale destruction, it was all at a T1 level.
As long as there was jealousy, it was almost impossible to escape this power.
As for people without jealousy… Axel didn't think they necessarily had to be killed.
Unless they were the obsessive type, then he could just send out something like Rayquaza or Groudon.
Then there was Chien-Pao's power of hatred, and Ting-Lu's power of fear, both were very universal types of emotion.
If Gardevoir could comprehend the powers of all three at once, and manifest its psychic abilities, it would definitely result in a qualitative leap.
"Not bad," Axel felt pleased and didn't hesitate to show the Chi-yu a more favorable expression.
"Where is your main body? Let's go get you out now."
Axel had already seen that these four weren't purely evil. Their formation was more or less tied to that ancient tyrant.
The Chi-yu wanting to build a nation might be similar to Lysandre, wanting to create its own ideal country.
So for now, he used the word "rescue." Otherwise, he would've just said "capture."
Chi-yu: "..."
'How about you just let me stay sealed a bit longer? I can come out and build a nation in a hundred years.'
Seeing the hesitation, Axel let out a cold laugh, "The last one who wanted to build a nation is already dead. Think it over."
The Chi-yu immediately perked up, flipping like a carp and obediently swimming behind Axel.
["My dear master, I'm only worried that I won't be able to leave with you tonight, because one of the pillars is rather special."]
["That pillar will only take shape by borrowing the power of heaven and earth after the other seven pillars are destroyed, appearing above the Shrine of Fire Calamity."]
["This process takes about a day. It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that when I think about having to wait that long, I feel like crying!"]
Glastrier: "..."
'What the hell? Another one stealing my job?'
Giratina looked completely confused. Wasn't this guy just shouting arrogantly a moment ago?
How did it switch attitudes so smoothly?
If it had that kind of face-changing skill back then, would it have avoided getting beaten?
The Chi-yu blinked lightly at the two big guys. Pokémon that control emotions are just that good, alright.
Controlling jealousy didn't mean it felt jealousy itself.
Just like people who deal drugs, how many of them actually use them?
And besides… this is nothing. You guys are already this shocked?
'Wait until my brother Leopard shows up, then every one of you will fall out of favor!'
Axel didn't care about the Chi-yu's behavior. Pokémon that were this strong by nature would never have particularly high loyalty anyway.
No rush. They could build that over time.
Just look at the Black and White Dragons now, aside from competing for favor, did they have any other thoughts?
Axel instructed the Chi-yu, "Stay here for now. After I finish the history exam, I can come pick you up."
"Then we'll go do something important together, and after that, I'll take you to find your three brothers!"
