Chapter 186: Lilia Aises: We Must Assemble a Pokémon Army!
Her body was as white as snow, as if she were wearing the purest of dresses.
Emerald green hair neatly covered her eyes, with two adorable red horns on top of her head.
At this moment, she was surrounded by Lilia Aises and the others, accompanied by occasional screams.
The little fellow was crouching on the ground, somewhat timidly, covering her face with her short hands, looking extremely gentle.
Who could imagine that such a cute, even seemingly timid little fellow would grow up to be the famous Psychic Empress?
Ralts…
A rather rare Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon. Compared to the generous Gardevoir or the enthusiastic Kirlia, the little Ralts is very timid.
But regardless, encountering a Ralts as soon as they went out was definitely a good start. Ian felt that this trip should bring good luck.
Ian had quietly observed that this timid Ralts was female, which was even better.
But it was strange to say.
According to Ralts' usual personality, with so many people gathered together, she would definitely hide. Even if she hadn't learned teleportation yet, with Ralts' talent,
she could have sensed them and escaped in advance.
But this Ralts…
Ian remained silent, carefully observing Ralts' every move, and finally noticed it.
Even though this little fellow was very timid and trembling a little from being surrounded by a group of people, those ruby-like eyes, occasionally appearing from under her hair, were always staring at Freya.
Ian understood.
Ralts had taken a liking to Freya!
This was not surprising.
Ralts are born with telepathy, able to sense the minds of other creatures, and are very close to those who are kind and innocent.
Of all the people present, Markov and the others, these rough guys, obviously didn't fit Ralts' aesthetic. Plus, they were constantly fighting and killing countless people, so Ralts definitely wouldn't like them.
Lecia and the others were a little better, but after all, they were Black Book Pillar Inquisitors who judged heretics, and the killing intent in their hearts was still very heavy.
As for Lilia Aises and the others…
They were too strong. Although Ralts couldn't use telepathy to peer into their hearts, they had just slaughtered the Merfolk, and their murderous aura was still very strong.
Among so many people here, strictly speaking, only Freya's heart was pure, and Freya was still underage, always protected by Ian and the others.
This completely met Ralts' criteria.
Thinking of this, Ian smiled and took out a Poké Ball, handing it to Freya.
"Try it, Freya. This little fellow should want to follow you."
"Huh? Me?"
Freya looked at the Poké Ball in her hand with some surprise. She had seen this thing before.
Ho-Oh and Lugia came out of this, although the colors were different, they were basically the same.
She probably understood that this was a special means of summoning beasts.
But…
Before Freya could think too much, Ian gently patted her head.
"Go ahead."
Freya no longer hesitated and carefully walked to Ralts and squatted down in the curious gazes of everyone.
"Hello…"
"Her name is Ralts."
"Hello, Ralts."
Freya slowly extended her hand, expectantly saying:
"Would you like to follow me and serve His Holiness the Pope?"
The red horns clearly sensed Freya's kindness and expectation. Ralts was no longer nervous. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly reached out and touched the Poké Ball in Freya's hand.
A faint red light lit up, then enveloped Ralts and entered the Poké Ball.
"Ah! She disappeared!"
Freya held the Poké Ball with some panic.
"Congratulations, Freya."
Ian touched Freya's head.
"You have captured your first Pokémon."
After saying that, Ian taught Freya how to summon Ralts. Before long, Freya happily hugged Ralts and spun around.
The happy cheers of Freya and Ralts echoed in her ears. For a moment, this feeling was quite healing.
Lecia looked at her with envy and then turned to look at Ian.
"Your Holiness, did this little fellow appear with Ho-Oh and the others?"
Ian nodded and took out the accumulated materials to make several Pokédexes and distributed them to Lecia and the others.
After teaching them how to use the Pokédex to identify Pokémon, the sounds of mechanical beeping rose and fell.
Seeing everyone having fun, Ian then explained:
"Whether it's Ho-Oh, Lugia, or the Ralts in front of you, they all belong to Pokémon."
"They are all special lives that have just arrived in the Aurora Kingdom."
"Pokémon are not animals, nor are they monsters. They are our partners. They can build bonds with trainers, grow together, and live together. Pokémon will be like family."
"Pokémon will continue to grow stronger with their trainers. Many Pokémon have the ability to evolve. Each evolution is a sublimation of the Pokémon's life."
"Also, don't think they are weak just because they look cute."
Ian pointed to Ralts, who was tired from playing and curled up in Freya's arms, and said softly:
"Take this little fellow as an example. Her final evolution has the reputation of being the Psychic Empress. If she cooperates with a trainer, constantly trains and becomes stronger, she will eventually have the ability to reach the Sage or Legendary level."
This was also the result of Ian's current rough judgment.
In terms of destructive power, Lugia and Ho-Oh are considered mid-tier gods by the demons, but Lugia and the others themselves are super-divine beasts who hold divine authority and laws.
Based on this calculation, the一级神 Lugia in the Lugia group, who does not have the sea's divine authority, is basically equivalent to a lower-tier god.
Second-tier divine Pokémon like Latios and Latias, whose divine authority isn't particularly strong, are the so-called True Gods.
In that case, third-tier gods basically correspond to Law Gods and War Gods.
Of course, this is a rough judgment. Ultimately, Pokémon don't follow the traditional cultivation system, and their strength is greatly related to their divine authority.
Ordinary legendary birds like the trio are considered excellent if they reach the third-tier god level, but the legendary birds in the movies cause elemental outbursts due to their great battles.
Those three big guys should be divine beasts who truly hold the three major laws of fire, lightning, and ice.
Their strength, conservatively estimated, is at the first-tier god level with the blessing of divine office and divine authority.
Even among super-divine beasts, not all can be categorized as mid-tier gods.
Simply put...
No matter how strong Ho-Oh and Lugia are, can they compare to the Time-Space Dragons and the master of the Reverse World?
No matter how strong the Ideal and Truth Dragons are, aren't they still being chased and killed by Kyurem?
The Radiant Great God Necrozma is even more outrageous. That guy is also a super-divine beast, but once he absorbs the Sun and Moon Gods, he can contend with Arceus.
Therefore, the range of super-divine beasts is very large. Ian never thought that the current Lugia and Ho-Oh could defeat the Demon King, but he never doubted that the Time-Space Dragons could definitely fight the Demon King to a standstill, or even be better.
Ultimately, what determines the strength of a Pokémon is not the level or realm, but the divine authority, divine office, and laws.
Relatively speaking, Lugia and Ho-Oh's divine authority and laws are not the strongest among the super-divine beasts.
Time-Space, Destruction, Life, Death, Order, Radiance...
These laws generally have ordinary expressiveness in the Pokémon world, but if you seriously take them out, even the Demon King would have a headache seeing a super-divine beast holding such divine authority.
And Ian gets excited every time he thinks about these outrageous Pokémon.
With these big guys helping, defeating the demons would be a piece of cake.
"So..."
Lillieas pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"We can even use Pokémon to form an anti-demon army. At that time, the strength of our basic army can also catch up with the demon army?"
This suggestion made Frelia hug Ralts tighter, as she didn't want such a cute and young Ralts to go to the battlefield.
"Absolutely."
Ian nodded with a smile and said softly:
"However, Pokémon still need time to grow, and not everyone is qualified to enter the Kingdom of Dawn and obtain Pokémon. This still requires selection."
But in any case, it's good that this plan is feasible!
Lillieas became even happier.
She also likes cute things very much, but she doesn't have the saintly heart of feeling sorry for cuteness and not exposing cruelty.
Whether as the Elf Queen or the Cardinal Bishop, Lillieas must have a big picture view and must be cold-blooded enough, with everything focused on annihilating the demons.
Pokémon are cute, but if they are just cute and can't help them fight against the demons, what's the point?
To put it bluntly, if they can't even afford to eat, are they still going to let the Roderick Continent pursue art?
Everything is focused on surviving first and winning this war!
Lillieas sized up Ralts in Frelia's arms thoughtfully. Frelia quickly hugged Ralts and hid behind Ian.
Seeing this, Lillieas smiled dumbly, shook her head, and said softly:
"In short, since Pokémon can become an important force for us to resist demons, it is worth us mastering this part of the power as soon as possible."
"The demon's divine authority holders and demon kings are not the most troublesome now. With His Holiness the Pope's many divine authority holders, we don't lack high-level combat power."
"What we lack now is the strength of the basic army."
"After the Church of Dawn rectifies the Hundred Clans Alliance, it can pull together a transcendent army of tens of millions, but this is completely a drop in the bucket for the subsequent war."
As Lillieas spoke, she became a little serious.
"The Gluttony King's undead natural disaster alone can easily raise hundreds of millions of troops."
"In the Fourth Anti-Demon War, the Mind Flayers of the Pride Domain dispatched hundreds of millions."
"There are also Leviathans, Succubi, Fiends, Rakshasa Ghosts, Fallen Shadows..."
"These demon clans are also subdivided into various more elite demon units."
"The demon's full-scale attack next will inevitably be a total mobilization. Conservatively estimated, we will face an army of over one billion all transcendent, of which the army with the strength above elite knights and mages will probably not be less than 50 million."
"The Church of Dawn has many divine authority holders, but it also needs to face the demon's divine authority holders. Even if the strong of the Dragon Clan and other large clans all advance to Law Gods, they will still inevitably be overwhelmed by numbers."
"In this scale of war, the role of Law Gods and War Gods will be infinitely reduced."
"We need more and stronger troops..."
Speaking of this, Lillieas turned her head and glanced at Ralts again.
After a moment of silence, she said softly:
"Although it is cruel to let this little guy go to the battlefield, there will be no intact eggs under a overturned nest... Your Holiness the Pope, I think it is time to let the army qualified to enter the Kingdom of Dawn come into contact with Pokémon."
"Building a Pokémon army will make up for the last shortcoming of our Church of Dawn in the upcoming war!"
