I, the first trainer of the new world

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Xiao Zhao looked at Arceus puzzledly.

Arceus smiled.

[Because I want to know what you think]

Xiaozhao was silent for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Lin Wen beside him, only to see that Lin Wen looked thoughtful, as if he was really thinking about this problem.

Arceus looked at them.

So, what’s the answer?

Lin Wen didn't say anything, but just stroked his chin and thought about something.

Xiao Zhao looked at him like this and started thinking unconsciously.

After a moment, she looked at Arceus with a sincere look in her eyes: "I think the future is more important."

Arceus slowly landed on the ground.

【What's the reason? 】

Xiao Zhao took a deep breath, thought for a moment and said, "Just like when God opened the earth, countless people formed exploration teams and went into the wild one after another to study Pokémon and how to get along with Pokémon. They gave everything for it, even their lives."

Her tone was gentle but extremely serious: "No one knows what the future will be like, but they are all willing to sacrifice their lives for that unknown future."

Open up the future, even if it costs your life.

So, the future is more important.

Arceus nodded, then looked at Lin Wen.

【And you? 】

"Life," Lin Wen replied, "Only by living can we see the future, and only by living can we be qualified to explore it. So many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for that future, but all they do is so that more people can live."

Opening up the future and sacrificing one's life is to enable more people to survive and witness that future.

Therefore, life is more important.

Arceus nodded again.

"What about you?" Lin Wen suddenly asked, "As the God of Creation, which one do you think is more important?"

His question made Arceus stunned for a moment, while Xiaozhao stared at Lin Wen in a daze.

But to be honest, she was also curious about Arceus' answer.

Arceus actually thought about it for a moment before he shook his head slightly as the two men stared at him.

[As the God of Creation, I cannot give my own answer...]

Because the Creator God can see the future and resurrect life, the future and life are equal to Him.

However, after saying this, Arceus laughed again.

[But as a Pokémon, a Pokémon that can easily change the world, my answer is that life is more important]

Arceus raised his head and looked towards the distant unknown sky.

[I don’t want any life to die, even if the future may not be good, but I can change it]

He lowered his head and looked at the two people in front of him.

[I can give everyone a happy life... but I can't do that because I am the God of Creation, so I can only treat life and the future equally]

Lin Wen and Xiao Zhao were a little dazed.

Arceus laughed, and his voice became melodious, light and joyful.

[Qianlin, what's your answer? ]

"I?"

A crisp sound rang in my ears.

Lin Wen suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously looked at the drone.

Almost at the same time, a ray of light flashed from the drone, and the red light spot was like a projector, reflecting Qianlin's figure in the initial space.

The phantom stood in front of them, as if Qian Lin was really here at this moment.

The words spoken were not barrages, but his voice.

But Qian Lin didn't seem to notice. He just stroked his chin and thought, then said in a calm tone: "Life and future should not be a single-choice question."

Qianlin walked up to Arceus and looked up at him: "For an individual, life is above all else, but for a group, the future is the meaning of life."

Arceus's eyes softened unconsciously.

【What's the reason? 】

"The expedition team of Shenhe Land, the adventure team of Crown Snowfield, all the doctors in the Pokémon world, the way back in Yanxia... and many more." Qian Lin shook his head, "Who doesn't sacrifice their life for the future?"

“Is it because the future is more important than life?”

"No."

Qianlin turned his head and looked at the Heartscale Pokémon behind him: "Just like the Overlord Stafftail Scaled Dragon, it chose to die for the future of the Pokémon in the hunting zone, so it thinks the future of the hunting zone is more important than the life of a certain Pokémon?"

"Hey... yeah, it doesn't even put its own life on the scale. It thinks it's just 'some Pokémon' in the hunting zone."

"No, it just feels that it is wrong. It just feels that it does not have the ability to continue to lead the hunting zone into the future, so its life has lost its meaning." Qian Lin put his hands in his pockets, his tone calm and without any waves, "Arzeus, if a life loses its meaning of living, then for it, which is more important, life or the future?"

Arceus was silent.

"That's why I said that the Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon is a fool." Qian Lin continued, "Life should not be measured in this way, and the future should not be reached in this way. If there is no life, how can we reach the future? If there is no future, how can life live?"

Qian Lin closed his eyes: "Life and the future should never be compared together."

Sacrifice your life for the future... no, use your life to write the chapter of the future.

【And you? 】

Arceus looked at Qianlin.

[If it were you, what would you do when you needed to write the future with your life? 】

“Is that even a question?” Qian Lin grinned. “I give everything I have to Giratina. I trust Him and the trainers behind me. If I die, there will be countless more of me at the front of the team.”

Write the future with your life, rather than sacrifice your life for the future.

It seems... there is no difference, but there seems to be some subtle differences.

Light flowed above the drone, red dots of light flickered, and Qianlin's shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if everything was just a flash in the pan. Even Qianlin himself did not realize that he was projected onto the Shenhe Land.

It's as if nothing has changed...

No changes?

The light is converging.

The brilliance was more dazzling than the sacredness at the beginning. The white light caught everyone's eyes, and even Wang Luo couldn't help but look over.

"Heart Scale Treasure..." Lin Wen stared blankly ahead.

The Heart Scale Treasure was shrouded in white light, and the light of evolution had already enveloped it.

Heart Scale has evolved?

Xiaozhao covered her mouth in surprise.

"Jang?"

Life and future...which is more important?

Xinlinbao spoke softly.

"Jang——"

I am afraid of becoming like my father in the future, so life is more important.

Lin Wen was stunned.

"Jang——"

I’m afraid I’ll never evolve, so the future is more important.

"Jang?"

Trainer, am I a coward?

I was afraid of death and afraid of not being able to evolve. I told myself that I could evolve if I exercised well, and I told myself that that day would definitely come as long as I lived, but that day never came.

The light dissipated, and golden armor covered the thick forelimbs and head, and the body became taller and more majestic.

The armored dragon looked at Lin Wen, as if waiting for an answer.

Lin Wen took a deep breath, then nodded heavily: "You are a coward, that's right."

The scaly dragon lowered its head.

"But you are not your father." Lin Wen's tone was extremely serious.

The armored dragon raised its head, its eyes reflecting Lin Wen's figure.

I am a coward because I am afraid…but I am not my father…I am…am I not?

Lin Wen didn't know about Scaled Dragon's doubts. He just grinned with a bruised face and said, "You must have forgotten that you are my Pokémon. Although you are also in the hunting zone, you are not a Pokémon leader like your father. You are one of the managers of the entire hunting zone. You are not only a manager of Pokémon, but also a manager of trainers!"

He, Lin Wen, is the dragon king of the Hulunbuir hunting area!

And this scaly dragon is Lin Wen’s original partner!

The light shines again!

The light of evolution completely enveloped the Armored Dragon, and its already huge body was pulled again by the light, becoming even bigger.

It’s not the size of an ordinary Armored Dragon, but the size of... an Overlord!

It is the overlord's child!

"Roar!"

In the glory, the staff-tailed scaly dragon raised its head and roared!
