Pokémon: The Hoenn Gods as Starters Chapter 171: Entering the Reverse World, Powerful Pokémon Ev

The mont Aiden stepped into the vortex, boundless darkness swallowed him whole.

Then—

An overwhelming sense of weightlessness struck.

His body plumted violently downward.

If not for his psychic power activating instantly, he might have fallen into what felt like an endless abyss.

This world had no sun.

No stars.

No natural light.

Only a vast expanse of dark violet skies and inverted landscapes stretching infinitely in every direction.

Silent.

Desolate.

Yet strangely visible under the dim, purple hue that blanketed everything.

Aiden extended his psychic senses.

And imdiately frowned.

His psychic range—normally spanning hundreds of kiloters—was being severely suppressed.

Now it could barely cover ten kiloters.

"So the Reverse World weakens external power…"

"If that's the case, then as its ruler, Giratina must be strengthened here."

If one-on-one…

Even Rayquaza might not dominate absolutely.

Aiden narrowed his eyes.

"If one isn't enough… then two."

Two Rayquaza.

Both ga Evolved.

That would eliminate any possibility of escape.

After all, once Giratina used Shadow Force to vanish, tracking it in a dinsion this vast would be nearly impossible.

For now, however—

He would not release any Legendary Pokémon.

No need to alert the ruler of this world prematurely.

Using controlled bursts of teleportation—each roughly ten kiloters—Aiden advanced eastward.

He left a psychic marker at the entrance point before moving deeper.

After what felt like hours of teleportation, his head throbbed faintly.

Then—

He saw structures.

A floating town.

Dark violet buildings suspended in midair, seemingly held in place by distorted gravity.

"No humans…"

The city was empty.

Yet not abandoned.

He released Latios and Regirock for protection.

Speed and defense.

A safe combination unless Giratina itself appeared.

Monts later, a large figure erged from the shadows.

Walrein.

System scan confird it.

Level 59.

Quasi–Elite Four peak.

Aiden blinked.

"In the outside world, trainers at this level are rare…"

"And here they're wild?"

Without hesitation—

"Blaziken. Take it down."

Blaziken burst forth, overwhelming Walrein with sheer power.

"Ding! Blaziken defeated Walrein. Gained 2700 EXP. Level up. Current Level: 62."

The Reverse World truly was a leveling paradise.

Nearly every wild Pokémon encountered exceeded Level 50.

Battles erupted frequently.

His team's strength rose steadily.

Soon—

Another aura approached.

Stronger.

"Ding! Electivire's current attributes are as follows—"

Pokémon: Electivire

Level: 60

Ability: Motor Drive

Type: Electric

Aptitude: Gold

Notes: Revived in the Reverse World after death, mories lost but strength retained.

Preference: Battle

Aiden's eyes glead.

He had wanted a powerful Electivire in Sinnoh.

And here one stood—

Champion-tier.

"Serperior. Your turn."

Serperior appeared gracefully.

Electivire roared, launching a devastating Thunderbolt.

"Leaf Storm!"

Blades of erald energy tore through the air.

Electivire endured, standing bloodied but defiant.

"Dragon Tail!"

Electivire countered with Fire Punch—

Flas and scales collided explosively.

But Serperior's tail strike prevailed, sending Electivire crashing into a suspended building.

Luxury Ball—thrown.

Shake.

Shake.

Shake.

Click.

"Ding! Congratulations, host. Electivire captured."

Another powerful addition secured.

As exploration continued, Aiden captured two more Champion-tier Pokémon:

Nidoking

Nidoqueen

Both Gold aptitude.

All Champion-tier.

He ignored lower-tier Pokémon.

His roster had long surpassed re quasi–Elite Four strength.

After clearing the floating town, he rested briefly using supplies from system space.

Then resud heading east.

Over a thousand kiloters traversed.

And still no end to this inverted dinsion.

Unbeknownst to him—

From afar—

A pair of crimson eyes watched silently.

"This human…"

"He carries the aura of the Griseous Orb."

"But why… can I not sense it directly?"

In the shadows of twisted gravity—

Giratina observed patiently.
