Chapter 430: Pokémon Legends - The Twin Dragons of Time and Space

Chapter 430 Pokémon Legends - The Time-Traveling Twin Dragons Saga

Monday, June 18th.

As night fell in Sinnoh, a user named "Azure Feather" quietly posted a video.

Subsequently, within 10 minutes, "Pokémon Legends: The Time-Traveling Dragons" quickly rose to the top of the Pokémon TV trending list by a large number of viewers.

[Wow, Teacher Yu actually remembered to make more videos?!]

[Luckily, I guessed it already. I don't know how much material Teacher Yu recorded during his trip to Sinnoh. Just the Sinnoh Legendary heroes plus Giratina are enough to fill three episodes of videos.]

[I said it was the right thing for Teacher Yu to stay in Sinnoh. She was slow to update in Padia, but she actually started posting videos on her own initiative after coming to Sinnoh!]

[That seems to make sense—wait, you heretic, don't even think about taking away our greatest teacher, Teacher Yu!]

[Teacher Yu, we were wrong! We'll give Sunshine Dojo a good review right now, sob sob sob! Please come back, Teacher Yu!————]

Since Qingyu came to Sinnoh on a "business trip," topics like this have become a daily occurrence for Sinnoh and Padiyah fans, with occasional fans from other regions joining in to stir things up.

Of course, bickering is just for fun; to really learn something, you have to watch Teacher Yu's videos!

Unlike the more entertainment- and quirky cast tutorials, the mythology series has a wider audience and therefore a much higher average viewership, with the number of simultaneous viewers quickly reaching six figures.

The barrage of comments that flooded in immediately also started playing the video.

Although the title is "Time and Space Twin Dragons", the opening scene is a picture of Qingyu riding Giratina flying in the sky above Sinnoh.

Perhaps because there are so many Pokémon in Sinnoh, Qingyu simply unified the titles of his videos without intending to introduce any particular Pokémon separately.

However—even so, viewers have a vague feeling that there will probably be quite a few episodes.

"Just to clarify, all Pokémon appearing in this video did so voluntarily. Yu-sensei is always a reasonable person~"

From the very beginning, Qingyu's voice was enough to make people lose their composure.

Unlike his previous "space security statements," this time he spoke with great confidence, giving the impression that he was assertive even when he was not entirely in the right.

Dialga & Palkia: You're right, I have no objection!

Has Teacher Yu truly forgotten how unethical he was back in Baiyang Town, and how he conspired with Giratina to ruin their lives?

Don't worry about the process, just ask them if they ultimately chose this path voluntarily.

[So, the "li" in "lidao" (道理) is the same as the "li" in "wushi" (物理, physics)? Teacher Yu, I understand now!]

Soon, Qingyu's slightly serious voice came through, bringing the audience a mythical experience that seemed to take them back to ancient times.

"Long ago we said that after Arceus, the creator god, completed the great feat of creation, he fell into a deep sleep."

"And after He fell into slumber, the new order that He had created and which was maintained by the gods continued to function well, and all things in the world thrived."

"But soon, a new crisis emerged outside the real world."

"Let's turn our attention to the dimensions of time and space."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, the scene suddenly changed, and the scene that had appeared during the previous live broadcast was shown to everyone again.

Those were the two Time Gods who caused a major crisis above Baiyang Town and were ultimately resolved by Qingyu.

Dialga and Palkia!

"In the rules established by Arceus, time and space are expanding infinitely, which raises a very important question."

"The barriers between time and space inevitably collided during the billions of years of development, ultimately leading to the conflict between the two gods of time and space."

"After all, the mission left to them by the creator god was to expand."

"If time were to stand still, the development of the world would eventually come to an end; and if space were to stand still, the finite world would inevitably be explored to its limits and lose its novelty."

"And so began the war between time and space."

"Dialga's roar echoed through endless time, Palkia's slash cleaved and split space."

"The impact of this battle is immeasurable, affecting even the real world and the reversed dimension, leaving no peace."

""

Following Qingyu's voice, the audience quickly began to think, "Damn it, how could Dialga and Palkia be so mean!"

[No wonder Teacher Yu dares to fight even gods; it actually makes sense.]

So Sinnoh's previous worship of the Time and Space Gods wasn't out of faith, but because they had no other choice?

Unlike the Hoenn's Fizz vs. the Flying-type Pokémon, their battles at least have Rayquaza to mediate, so each fight doesn't cause too much of a commotion.

But what about Sinnoh's third god?

Oh dear, so they were banished to a reversed dimension by the creator god!

This is also the key reason why the existence of Giratina is rarely mentioned, even in ancient history.

Since it hardly ever appeared in the real world, the fact that its name and the title "Pluto Dragon" have been preserved is already quite an achievement for ancient mythologists.

It's easy to imagine the mess these two unrestrained gods could make.

The video continues playing.

"The endless struggle between time and space soon made even Arceus himself realize the crisis of the world's destruction."

"Therefore, he made a bold decision: 'Since Giratina cannot enter the real world, then humanity itself shall appease the anger of the two gods.'"

The scene shifts, and a mural from a random ruin appears on the screen.

The images of the two gods of time and space stand in the sky, below which are countless kneeling humans praying, and three figures that seem to be the gods of the lake.

In the very center of the image, a girl wearing a strange square hat and a dark kimono is holding a Poké Ball, standing below two gods, and pointing to the sky.

"Not much has been left behind from earlier history."

"Perhaps the Tower of Time in Poplar Town, and the legend of the piece 'Oracion,' originated from an even earlier period."

However, a small part of the historical truth about the Sinnoh region's predecessor, the Seishi region, which occurred approximately 150 years ago, has been preserved.

"This girl is named Xiaozhao. She is an emissary summoned by Arceus from another dimension."

"Many of the legends about the Xicui area today originate from her."

"Here I want to debunk a myth: the history left behind in the Xicui area is not true, because Xiao Zhao is not as weak as later generations imagine."

"She almost single-handedly persuaded the two gods to calm their anger by using the earliest wooden Poké Balls and a throwing tool called Sticky Ball."

"Her deeds are recorded in the random remains we just discovered, which are important archaeological data for exploring the Xicui area."

"It was also because of her that the Dragons of Time and Space never clashed again for more than a hundred years afterward."

【ah???】

After Qingyu finished speaking, the screen was filled with question marks in the comments.

What does it mean to defeat the two Time Gods without using Pokémon, just by throwing Poké Balls? Is this even human language?

[Teacher Yu: I feel so much connection to this! This little photo is practically another version of me!]

[So nothing happened for the next 100 years because the Two Gods of Time and Space were traumatized by our ancestors and dared not come out?]

To be honest, Teacher Yu's side is really impressive. His account of official history is even more outlandish than the unofficial accounts; I wouldn't even dare to make this up!

[If Teacher Yu hadn't actually photographed the murals, who would believe these things? Their first reaction would definitely be skepticism.]

"Regarding Xiao Zhao's story, this part is still being translated by Dr. Jie Zilan's team working overtime, so we won't go into details here."

In the video, Qingyu laughed and moved on from the topic she had brought up.

He originally wanted to talk more about Xiao Zhao, this extraordinary woman, but the records about her on the murals were not comprehensive, so he had to stop there.

If the Sinnoh members knew that even Alpaca's clone and Toilet King Regigigas had been hit all over the head by her, I wonder what their expressions would be.

It must be very interesting!

"Let's speed up time a bit and go straight to a few decades ago, not too far from now."

Qingyu's voice rang out again.

"Since the barriers of time and space always exist, it is only a matter of time before the two gods start fighting again."

"After a century of reflection, and with the confirmation that Xiao Zhao has disappeared from this world, the two gods of time and space have accumulated enough power to bring this conflict to an end."

"Thus, Baiyang Town, which happens to be located at the intersection of time and space planes, naturally became their battlefield."

"However, perhaps due to the will of the world, or simply because the two gods of time and space always seem to falter at crucial moments, their life-or-death struggle took an unexpected turn—"

'

"A mythical Pokémon named Darkrai appeared, forcibly stopping their conflict and putting them into a deep sleep."

The scene changes again, showing a photo of Qingyu and a handsome Pokémon that is all black and looks completely unwilling.

[What a wonderful "voluntary performance"! Teacher Yu, don't you laugh at yourself when you say that? Hahaha!]

[Maybe it's just a tsundere, anyway, whatever Teacher Yu says goes (laughs)]

[After watching Teacher Yu for a while, I suddenly understood why Xiao Zhao resorted to violence to solve problems; it seems to be quite effective?]

"Not many people know much about Darkrai, and many consider it a jinx that brings nightmares."

""

"Here, Teacher Yu needs to clarify a rumor first."

Qingyu's voice suddenly became serious.

"Darkrai is the Pokémon of dreams and the moon, and its counterpart is indeed Cresselia, which brings beautiful dreams."

"However, Darkrai doesn't intentionally cause nightmares; it's usually a defensive measure taken by humans who have accidentally entered their territory."

"And the Darkrai I'm about to introduce is an even better child who has formed a deep friendship with a human."

"Because it once made a promise with humans to protect Baiyang Town, it became enraged and attacked when the two gods of time and space clashed again, using its Dark Hole technique to temporarily put them into a deep sleep."

"As for what happened next—those who watched the live stream probably already know, so I won't go into details~"

[Save money: Teacher Yu, with a whole bunch of illegal Pokémon, utterly destroyed the Time Gods, and even Giratina showed up —]

[The live stream really cracked me up. I thought Teacher Yu was going to be cool, but he just used Giratina's bloodline to suppress me, making me look like a little brother to the two Time Gods!]

Darkrai: If I'd known you were this capable, why would I have bothered with all that effort?

[It's a bit of a shame that halfway through the live stream, Teacher Yu suddenly went into a reverse dimension, and as a result, there was no signal and we couldn't see the rest of the content.]

Some viewers who were "on the scene" started explaining the facts, making the already confused audience even more confused about what it meant for Teacher Yu to have destroyed the two gods of time and space, and that Hades Dragon Knight Radina was also his subordinate.

Of course, Qingyu in the video had no idea what the viewers in the comments were talking about, so he quickly continued, "This crisis caused by the two Time Gods was resolved thanks to the efforts of Darkrai and me. At the same time, Hades Dragon Knight Radina also contributed a lot in the process."

"So, having said that, have you all noticed?"

"The two gods of time and space, who should have been worshipped by humans and regarded as deities, have become the culprits that brought the world to the brink of destruction."

Darkrai, whom many mistakenly believe to be the embodiment of nightmares and a bringer of bad luck, and Giratina, who was banished by Arceus for her volatile temper, ironically became key figures in helping humanity resolve its crisis.

Why is this happening?

After keeping everyone in suspense, Qingyu gave her own opinion.

"In my opinion, whether it's a legendary Pokémon or a regular Pokémon, they are essentially the same."

"Dark-type Pokémon may indeed be more mischievous, leading many people to have the stereotype that they will do bad things, but that is just our subjective judgment."

"The same applies to legendary Pokémon. If I had a preconceived notion that Giratina is a grumpy and bad guy before I even encountered it, that impression would only be reinforced."

"The same applies to Darkrai. It is because there was once a human who could be its equal friend that it was willing to put itself in danger to protect Aspen Town."

"The relationship between humans and Pokémon has always been built gradually through mutual trust and understanding, hasn't it?"

The video ends abruptly there.

After all, the theme this time is the Twin Dragons of Time and Space, so it's normal that there isn't much content about Giratina.

However, countless viewers remained silent for a long time before finally leaving their comments at the end of the video.

[I see. I suddenly understand why Teacher Yu always gets the favor of legendary Pokémon. Who wouldn't be confused by that?]

When Teacher Yu isn't using dirty tactics, he's actually quite positive. Brothers, type "tears in my eyes" in the chat!

[Teacher Yu, you're awesome!]

Indeed, stereotypes are unacceptable. I suddenly find Jynx kind of pleasing to the eye now.

【Dude, you haven't developed some weird fetish, have you?!】
