Starting with Pokémon, and moving towards the pinnacle of beast control

It is still the familiar contract space, but it is more like a universe than a space.

A universe that belongs exclusively to Arceus.

The magical universe created by Arceus.

In the depths of the universe where darkness and light are intertwined, stars are like dust, dotting the endless night sky.

They flicker in their own rhythm, like the breath of the universe, telling an ancient and mysterious story.

Those stars that seem to be still are actually moving at an astonishing speed.

The white crane carefully observed the starry universe. In the past, it only marveled at the wonder of the universe, but now it thinks that Arceus is so powerful.

The distances between stars are so great that it can take millions or even billions of years for light to travel from one star to another.

It is also possible that the stars will meet in the next moment.

The beauty of the contract space lies not only in the shining of its stars, but also in its internal order and harmony.

All of them reflect the mysterious power of Arceus.

From the rotation of galaxies, to the orbits of planets, to the swallowing of black holes, every phenomenon follows the laws of nature.

I really don't know how Arceus did it.

Bai He thought about himself. Now his beast-controlling space was just a small world, and it was not complete. It was really hard to imagine what kind of great power Arceus had by using a universe as his contract space.

In this vast universe, Bai He felt so small and fragile.

However, it is this smallness and fragility that makes him cherish the meaning and value of life even more, and also fills him with motivation and courage to explore the future.

After observing for a while, Bai He headed towards Arceus as usual.

Arceus also felt strange today. He had sensed the arrival of the White Crane.

Moreover, it has been a while since Bai He arrived, but today this guy didn't come directly here.

As Baihe approached Arceus, he saw a Pokémon in front of the stone gate.

Its body is blue with white block patterns.

It has a blue gem-like headdress and two white ribbon-like tails.

Today's mythical beast is actually Suicune.

Baihe is very fond of the Pokémon Suicune.

It has magical powers and is also very beautiful, giving off a sense of elegance and agility.

Suicune is a Pokémon with the gentleness of a spring in its body, and it pursues places where clear water flows.

It scurries across the land in a gliding motion, possessing the power to purify dirty, muddy water in an instant.

It is said that when it appears, the north wind will blow inexplicably, and it will run away with the north wind. It is the incarnation of the north wind.

Bai He's mentality has changed now. He was very excited when he contracted the divine beast before, but now he has become somewhat calm.

Bai He first greeted Arceus, and then asked Arceus some questions.

"Lord Arceus, I now have 4 max-level Pokémon, which means I have some strength. Although they are not very strong, they can barely protect themselves. Other Pokémon are also growing slowly. So can you tell me the truth about what happened to me?"

Baihe was really curious, after all, this was a secret that even Arceus had to keep.

In response to Bai He's question, Arceus responded very quickly, and the answer was no.

"We agreed before that once all your Pokémon have reached the maximum level, I will tell you the answers to all your questions. Now, although you have made some achievements, it is not enough to support you in facing those guys."

Arceus' answer was decisive, but Baihe extracted a message.

Face those guys.

What kind of opponent is this that makes Arceus so afraid?

Even though he had four max-level Pokémon, he was still not qualified to know the truth, not even the true identities of those guys.

Although Bai He really wanted to know the truth, he could do nothing if Arceus was unwilling to tell him.

Moreover, his current strength has not yet reached the conditions given by Arceus. The biggest gain is knowing that there are still enemies that he needs to fight against.

We still cannot lower our guard and must still improve ourselves.

Baihe walked towards Suicune. Although he already knew that Suicune came here after discussing with Arceus, Baihe still asked about Suicune's choice.

"Sui-kun, the road ahead may be full of dangers, and there may even be enemies that I cannot deal with with my strength. Are you still willing to make a contract with me? I will obey your wishes. If you choose to leave now, no one will blame you."

Baihe really wants to follow the Pokémon's ideas. After all, if he is unwilling, it will only affect the emotions of himself and his Pokémon.

Then it itself won't be happy either.

Suicune's agile and graceful body approached the White Crane. Arceus had told Suicune about the White Crane before, and Suicune was willing to become the White Crane's Pokémon, so he chose to go on adventures and grow up with the White Crane.

Bai He smiled with joy. Although he had guessed this result before, he was still very happy when Suicune slowly approached him and chose to make him his trainer.

Bai He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his mind began to merge with the surrounding environment.

He felt the presence of Suicune, a gentle yet powerful force calling him.

He opened his eyes to see Suicune standing gracefully before him.

Suicune's body is a deep blue with white block patterns on it that sparkle in the starlight.

Suicune's headdress is like a dazzling blue gem, and its tail is made of two white ribbons that sway gently in the wind.

Baihe walked towards Suicune, he stretched out his hand and gently touched Suicune's forehead.

At this moment, their minds began to communicate.

Baihe felt the inner world of Suijun - a pure and gentle soul, its desire for clear water, and its mission to purify the world.

As Baihe and Suicune's spiritual communication becomes deeper and deeper, an invisible bond is formed between them.

Baihe's heart was full of understanding and respect for Shuijun, and Shuijun also felt Baihe's sincerity and strength. Under the witness of the starlight, their soul contract began to be concluded.

Suddenly, a gust of north wind blew, and Suicune's body began to emit a soft light, and its power resonated with Baihe's mind.

This power even evolved Bai He's mind.

"It's a pleasure to have you join us, Sui-kun." Baihe gave a sincere smile.

Suicune also felt what was in Haku's heart. His love for Pokémon was genuine.

"Would you like to go to the Beast Taming Space and say hello to your friends?"

Suicune nodded. He was not as cold as he looked.

Baihe easily put Suicune into the Beast Taming Space to accompany the other Pokémon partners.

The Suicune contract was completed, and Baihe looked at the sacred Arceus.

"Lord Arceus, can I ask about Xiaozhi and the others' current situation?"

Although Baihe thinks that the Beast Taming World is pretty good, and now he has developed feelings for it, and is not as eager to go to the Pokémon World as he was at the beginning, Baihe is still very interested in the current situation of Xiaozhi and the others.

Arceus casually talked about the recent situation of Xiaozhi and the others. As long as Baihe's Pokémon reached the maximum level and resolved that matter, Baihe could go directly to the Pokémon world by himself.

At that time, he can play in the Pokémon world as long as he wants, and Baihe cares very much about the boy Xiaozhi, so he can choose to accompany Xiaozhi and travel with the boy.

Bai He also knew that Arceus had told him everything he could, and the rest were secrets that he was not yet qualified to know.

So Baihe didn't mention the issue of the powerful enemy again. On the contrary, Baihe was still very interested in Arceus himself.

"Lord Arceus, this contracted space is under your control. I think this space is almost the same as a universe. You can even say that it is a universe."

"There are still many places in the contract space that I haven't observed yet. I believe there must be countless lives in the contract space. But you are the creator god of the Pokémon world. I want to know what level your strength is. Is there a level after Pokémon reaches the maximum level?"

What Baihe wants to know is whether Pokémon can continue to upgrade after reaching the maximum level.

In response to Bai He's question, Arceus' answer was very simple: no.

Arceus, like Rayquaza now, is also at the maximum level, that is, god level.

However, there are differences between gods, and this difference comes from the origin.

"Baihe, this question is actually very easy to understand. For example, if your first Pokémon is Mongoose Slash, it will become very strong after Mongoose Slash, but as it continues to grow, it will pale in comparison when facing a legendary Pokémon of the same level."

"Perhaps Mongoose Slash could use his abilities to fight these mythical beasts, but the probability of winning is not high. Even if Mongoose Slash tries his best, he may not be able to match a slowly growing Rayquaza of the same strength. This is the fundamental difference."

"In addition, the gap in origin is not insurmountable, but it is very difficult to make up for it. It requires countless efforts and countless opportunities. These are unimaginable."

After listening to Arceus' explanation, Bai He finally understood.

According to the game, racial values ​​and basic settings cannot be changed.

Even though strength can be improved and power can be increased, many things are already determined from birth.

This birth is not simply about being born into this world by a mother.

For example, the Arceus in front of Xiaozhi, he is just an incarnation of Arceus's original body, but from the moment he was born, he was destined to be the creator god.

Since the birth of Arceus, he has been able to decide the fate of countless lives.

And these things are already destined.

For example, Beetlejuice can also grow slowly, they can also evolve, break through, transform and form bonds with their trainers, but no matter how powerful they are, no matter how hard they try, in the end they will only become a more powerful Beedrill.

Perhaps compared to many other unicorn beetles, it is already very excellent, but if its opponents are those mythical beasts, it will be really difficult to fight against them.

Bai He suddenly thought of a question and asked, "So is it because of this origin that I have the system and the help of Lord Arceus?"

Perhaps Bai He would have regarded owning the system as a benefit and luck as a time traveler, but now he feels that all this is arranged.

Arceus did not avoid the question and answered directly:

"Yes, it is also influenced by the origin. In fact, regardless of whether the system exists or not, and regardless of whether you will travel through time or not, the power of your origin is enough to allow you to live a happy life, or even several lives. This is your fate and your origin."

"I can tell you clearly that your origin power is very strong, which means that your destiny is very high."

Bai He fell into silence. Although his life was not the best from childhood to adulthood, it was indeed smooth.

I have a good family, open-minded parents, and friends who I grew up with.

There are also teachers who are a little strict but very nice to their students.

From childhood to adulthood, Bai He has basically never been sick. His life is simple but beautiful.

Is this all destined?

Bai He was confused.

If all this is destined and has been arranged long ago, then what is the point of working hard?

If I am destined to be defeated by that powerful opponent, then shouldn't I enjoy life now?

Bai He gently asked, "Master God of Creation, if the origin can determine our fate, then does our life still have meaning?"

Bai He has become a little depressed now and has gotten stuck in a dead end.

Arceus did not give him a clear answer, because whether something made sense or not was not something that could be determined by just one sentence from Him.

"Bai He, I think what you are thinking about is not whether life has meaning, but whether your destiny completely determines the origin and how much influence it has on your life."

"In the long river of life, one is often attracted by the vortex of fate, wondering whether one's own destiny has already been arranged, and whether personal efforts can still play a role in such a context."

“Destiny and hard work are not incompatible, but complement each other and shape life together. Destiny, this mysterious word, often makes us feel confused and helpless. It is like an invisible thread that guides the direction of our lives.”

"However, this does not mean that we should give up our efforts, because fate is not set in stone."

Arceus' tone was indifferent, seemingly without emotion.

"Not to mention you, even I can't decide the direction of my future. I can even destroy a universe, but I can't see through a person's heart."

Arceus also has different emotions about some things. His aesthetic sense is flawed, but he is not omniscient and omnipotent.

If we compare who is more confused, Arceus is more confused than any other creature in the world.

Because Arceus was too powerful, he couldn't even find what he should do.

So He fell into meditation for a long time and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Baihe, you can do whatever you want in your heart. No matter what it is, just do it first. You don't have to think about whether it makes sense or what your fate will be."

“In this world, you can be truly free and limit yourself. As long as your heart is in your heart, you can do whatever you want. The premise is, ask your heart.”
