"...That is where the training dummies went?"

He just heard news of "Lavinia" drowning... Only for fishermen to pull out a dummy.

At least Celia (likely) has this: She hasn't whacked a few therapists enough to the point Kanto is running out of therapists because everyone is scared to sign up as one.

.....Well.....

"Hey chat, who's up for a crappy tarot reading from a total noob who has no idea what he's doing? I'll do some on stream later. Major Arcana only because I don't really understand the Minor Arcana yet."

//These are probably going to require some waiting until I have my deck on hand.

opponents well.

["BEING IN MY DOMAIN MEANS YOU HAVE BECOME TAINTED WITH MY DOMINION TO SOME EXTENT. LIKE WITH THAT OLDER SISTER FIGURE WITH JACHEJUMUN. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO LEAVE JUST NOW, KNOWING YOU MAY HAVE A BIT OF THAT POWER IN YOU?"]

those to become even greater than they already could be. But would that even be good doing it to /Celia/ of all people!?!

["I INTENDED TO BRING THAT MAN TO HER AS A WORD OF MY PROMISE IF YOU WON."]

It really wasn't stalling. But it can be a bit of a blabbermouth as it wants to know its-

["I AM MERELY FASCINATED BY HOW FAR SHE WAS WILLING TO GO. IT IS ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW YOUR ENEMIES AND THEIR POWERS. AND PERHAPS TEACH THEM SOME LESSONS."]

Strength and power is always what fascinates Gwahacheol a lot. And even if they intend to kill it, Gwahacheol always yearns to push-

OR FURTHER HELP YOU WITH YOUR GOALS."]

The giant fortress of a god Pokemon is at least respectful of Celia enough to offer that suggestion. It isn't bothered by these developments.

UNSTABLE. BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, FOR GIVING ME A BATTLE THAT I WAS ENJOYING UNTIL THE INTERRUPTION, I CAN OPEN A PORTAL TO YOUR HOMEWORLD. WITHOUT EXPENDING YOUR POWER."]

Still staring, farther and farther...

["PERHAPS THE BRINWRIGHT CAVES COULD GIVE YOU MORE POWER TO STABILIZE YOURSELF.-

disappointed.

["I WAS EXPECTING A DECEISIVE OUTCOME. BUT IT SEEMS YOUR EXISTENCE IS BECOMING MORE UNSTABLE HERE.

...IF YOU EVER WANT TO REDO THAT FIGHT, NO MATTER WHICH 'YOU' IT IS, I'LL BE HERE. THE DEAL IS STILL ON."]

Courteous as always here.

["THAT ENERGY IN YOU... UNSTABLE. VERY-

["INTERESTING...."]

This has been something peciular here. He was able to accept that fate but the machine was staring at Celia... Or a version of her here.

["VARIANTS OF YOURSELF. CLONES, PERHAPS? THEY GAINED... WILL? ABSORBED?"]

Staring farther and father, it almost seemed... curious but-

OPTION BEYOND JUST DESTRUCTION. EVEN DESTROYER GODS KNOW WHEN TO KEEP SOMEONE ALIVE TO SHAPE THEM OR MAKE THEM A WEAPON."]

And with that, a huge electrical beam is sent right at Celia! But it is still giving her advice... As if it doesn't mind her like this?

RESOURCE TO USE. JUST REMEMBER THAT."]

Gwahacheol knows it may not get through to her but the giant hand is creating a ton of electricity. Thunder that can destroy the ground. It is aiming right at Celia here. With how huge it is, it could destroy an entire planet!

["TRUE GODS USE EVERY-

WITH SUCH POWER, YOU CHOOSE THE EASY ROUTE INSTEAD OF A MORE LONG TERM ROUTE."]

Is... Is Gwahacheol just giving Celia advice here? Obviously she may not take it but changing her enemies, her supposed traitors, warping them...

["KILLING AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING MEANS YOU'D LOSE OUT ON A-

ARE YOU PLAYING THE VILLAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE WHAT YOU DON'T?"]

Tugging at personal opinions here.

["SUCH POWER LIKE THIS YOU CAN WARP YOUR ENEMIES. INSTEAD OF DESTROYING YOUR ENEMIES, USE THEM AS RESOURCES. MOLD THEM. SHAPE THEM. AND ONLY THROW THEM OUT WHEN YOU ARE DONE. FOR SOMEONE-

of their DNA structure there.

["IF YOU DO SUCCEED, WHAT WILL YOU DO AFTERWARDS. EVEN RULERS GROW BORED IF THEY ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING. SOMETIMES IT MAY TAKES YEARS, DECADES, MILLENIAS BUT EVENTUALLY THEY CAN FEEL REGRET. SO MANY KINGDOMS FELT THIS.

ARE YOU LASHING OUT FOR A GOOD CAUSE OR-

["INTERESTING. EVEN WITH POSSIBLE FACTS THROWN AT YOU, YOU STILL KEEP LIVING IN YOUR REALITY. THAT IS ADMIRABLE."]

Was that a compliment or an insult fromt he hulking mecha behemoth of a Pokemon?

And yet it was taking a look at the Deoxys's that end up being made unstable. Creative use-

those from other dimensions.

["ALL I WANT IS A GOOD BATTLE. DESTRUCTION IS NOT NECESSARY. BUT I CAN ALLY WITH YOU IF YOU DO WIN."

And now the Deoxys horde are shooting psychics all over the place, as if to keep Celia down...

those fires.

["FAKER? I WISH. I WISH MAGIC WAS FAKE. BUT IT BEING INFERIOR TO TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE IS THE NEXT BEST STEP."]

It'd go to shake its fist a bit as a way to summon more Pokemon by its side...

A lot of cross DNA is being formed from meteors. Various... Deoxys's!? It can summon-

sheer fact it was close meant some conflict was bound to happen. A Region that prides itself of technological advancement. The other one that uncovers powerful magic...

One of the giant fingers is suddenly launching huge Flash cannons right at Celia! Flash Cannons and Thunders, all to disrupt-

tell Celia is going to target it right now, there was a bit of a stronger Magnezone 'shield' as they all used protect around Gwahacheol right now.

["JACHEJUMUN WAS CLOSE TO MY TERRITORY. A BATTLE WAS INEVITABLE. BRINWRIGHT USED TO BE TWO VERY CLOSE REGIONS. AND THEN THAT WAR HAPPENS."]

The-

["MORE. LIKE. MORE. LIKE I NEEDED AN EXCUSE TO BE OUT OF MY DOMAIN. I NEVER CARED FOR HIM."]

Gwahacheol certainly only let him catch it for the sake of being free from the domain for a bit. It'd explain why he'd be willing to sacrifice Aleister and why it left him here.

Though it could-

a battle on the side..

WITH STRESS OR DESIRES TO BE STRONGER. AND THEN IT COMES OUT IN THE WORLD.

...SURELY YOU KNOW IT WOULD HAVE TARGETED PEOPLE LIKE THAT BEFORE. CORRECT?"]

It's trying to learn more about Celias life while fighting. This is less a huge life or death battle and more it understanding her with-

is making sure to be on the defensive with its body being covered by these digital copies of Magnezones surrounding it.

["I FOUGHT JACHEJUMUN DURING THE BRIN & WRIGHT WAR... IT HAS MAGIC. ILLUSIONS. POWER. IT CAN MANIPULATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. ALL IT TAKES IS LATCHING ONTO OTHERS-

AS FOR JACHEJUMUN... YOU CAN MAKE AN ARGUMENT ITS POWERS ARE SIMILAR TO SOMETHING LIKE ARCEUS. IF YOU BELIEVE ARCEUS HAS MAGICAL PROPERTIES."]

Suddenly it'd lift its mechanical claw as a bunch of Magnezone digital clones to surround itself to protect itself from the redirected beams.It-

["...INTERESTING."]

That is all Gwahacheol can say. It was clear it is keeping an eye on Celia here. It seems more impressed than anything else.

["THERE IS ALWAYS DOMINIONS THAT THE SINNOH LEGENDS CAN'T CONTROL. A GOD IS JUST A BEING WITH LESS LIMITATIONS. THEY STILL HAVE SUCH LIMITATIONS.-

and deep into it! And yet Aleister was there, watching.

"Retreat if you value the life of your Riolu. Or better yet, tell me where Reina is. Either one of those two will ensure your Riolus life.

But if you go for the latter, I will make sure none of your Pokemon will make it out next time."
