"You three, please allow me to see the tokens you possess first."
Hearing this, the three of them subconsciously glanced at each other, then each held their dragon scale fragment in their palm.
Seeing the three fragments reappear, even the stern elder's gaze flickered.
"So, you three are the representatives from the outside world for this Dragon God Trial."
She looked at the three with considerable anticipation.
One was a powerful Elite Four, while the other two were young Trainers whose names she hadn't heard.
"A pity. I don't see the Dragon-type user Genji, or Champion Steven Stone."
The elder lamented inwardly. Of course, she didn't say this out loud.
This time, their Meteor Village had sent out a total of three tokens, all to suitable candidates.
Of course, the three had been instructed at the time that even if they were to transfer them, they must be transferred to suitable candidates.
Now, she could only trust their judgment.
"There are six spots in total for the Dragon God Trial. Besides you three outsiders, there are three of us local residents... Oh, you can also call us by another name."
The elder paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"The Draconid People!"
This new keyword made them all shudder; it was clearly the first time they had heard it.
The version of the games Yuki had experienced seemed to be the original Ruby and Sapphire, not the remakes.
Now, faced with the Draconid People DLC plot, he was equally clueless.
"I am the elder of this generation of the Draconid People. As for the matter of the trial, there's no rush. First, let me tell you our history. Of course, this is also the history of the entire Hoenn Region."
The elder turned her back, looking up at the giant mural behind her. Her gaze was distant, as if she were contemplating something.
Meanwhile, the youth who had led them here brought two small stools for Ash and Yuki.
The two exchanged a look and could only sit down, preparing to listen to the story.
Indeed, there was no rush.
". . ."
Seeing this, Elite Four Huayue, who had just stood up, could only steel himself and sit back down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently set, the elder finally began to speak slowly.
"Three thousand years ago, in our Hoenn Region, to fight over the resources of the land and the ocean, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre began their battle..."
"Primal Groudon?"
Ash couldn't help but interject. The other two were also completely bewildered.
They were all locals, yet they had never heard of these two ancient deities having a "Primal" prefix.
The elder simply replied unhurriedly, "Because their current appearance is not Groudon's and Kyogre's most original form."
As she spoke, she took out a full-screen phone, which was displaying a live broadcast of Groudon.
It was still wandering in the sea of the Unova Region, moving slowly with its back hunched. Its fiery-red, magma-like armored body touched the seawater, causing thick, steamy white smoke to rise.
It seemed to be completely lost there.
Now that an ancient deity had appeared in the public eye, it was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing.
Yes, although Meteor Village has no contact with the outside world, the Draconid People still go out frequently to make purchases, including buying high-tech electronic devices.
Don't be fooled by the simple technology here; in reality, everyone has an iPhone.
The Draconid People were even getting ready to splurge on the latest product launch.
After all, many dragon-type Pokémon live here, so a large amount of precious materials from them have naturally been gathered—claws, scales, and so on. These are all extremely valuable things in the outside world and can be sold for a high price.
It has always been rumored that precious dragon-type Pokémon like Bagon inhabit Meteor Falls, which has naturally attracted many people to come and explore.
It's just that the outer two layers have been thoroughly explored. While one or two precious dragon-type Pokémon can occasionally be found, no habitat for Bagon has ever been located.
This is because these Pokémon had actually gotten lost and wandered out of Meteor Village.
This is what created the phenomenon of dragons appearing occasionally, but with no specific trace of them ever being found.
Seeing that the three were still confused, the elder continued:
"You can think of the primal form as a state similar to after Mega Evolution."
Hearing this, the three of them finally nodded, getting a rough idea.
However, Groudon and Kyogre were already powerful ancient deities. To undergo a Mega Evolution on top of that...
"Hiss..."
Ash's scalp tingled.
A battle of this magnitude would naturally be a doomsday-level disaster for the natural world.
Just as depicted on this mural, countless volcanoes erupted, and tsunamis rolled...
"At this time, a rainbow meteorite fell on the central location of the Hoenn Region. The massive impact smashed a giant crater into the mountain—which is now Meteor Falls."
Ash nodded. The Pokédex had indeed mentioned the origin of Meteor Falls before.
It seemed this group of Draconid People knew much more history than the outside world.
"And with the fall of the meteorite, Rayquaza also descended upon this land. With its formidable power, it quelled the battle between the two ancient deity Pokémon."
As she said this, the elder's tone not only grew rapid, but her expression also took on a look of distinct reverence.
"Therefore, Rayquaza became the Faith of us Draconid People, and we honor it with the title of Dragon God."
The group nodded. It was logical and reasonable.
No wonder Rayquaza was drawn so large on this mural.
But what made Ash curious was, since Groudon and Kyogre both underwent Mega Evolution—no, primal evolution... No, that's not right. A primal form can't be called an evolution either...
"Primal Reversion?"
Ash came up with a term.
In that case, if Rayquaza didn't also undergo Primal Reversion, how could it overpower two ancient deities?
He had personally witnessed Groudon's Precipice Blades. The magma spikes that pierced up from the sea surface still made his scalp tingle just thinking about them.
"Then, 1,000 years passed—meaning 2,000 years ago from the present—and another meteorite fell in the Hoenn Region, forming what is now Sootopolis City."
Ash didn't quite understand but was still impressed by this statement. The two beside him, however, nodded, as this matched the history they knew.
"But the immense flow of natural energy stirred by the meteorite's impact awakened Groudon and Kyogre once more. They began to battle again, and it was as if everything had returned to the very beginning."
Ash: ". . ."
Were these two ancient deities just bored out of their minds? Did they wake up just to fight?
Their neighbors, Ho-Oh and Lugia, lived in harmony with humans and never got into such deadly fights.
"And at that time, our ancestors who were already living in Meteor Falls used the first rainbow meteorite that had fallen to summon Rayquaza, once again quelling this great disaster..."
"After that, we began to call ourselves the Draconid People, and we enshrined that rainbow meteorite."
