Pokemon: The Gameboy Effect-Chapter 194: Divine Seats

Two Landorus clashed in the skies, unleashing raw, destructive power. The air howled with energy—sand and rocks shot up, only to rain down in a chaotic avalanche. The wind twisted into violent tornadoes, carving through the land for miles, uprooting ancient trees from the heart of the Mayan Forest. Any Pokemon too slow to escape was swept up instantly, lost in the storm of fury.

From a distance, John and Scarlett could only watch the devastation unfold. The battle itself was obscured by the sheer scale of destruction—whirling debris, crashing trees, and blinding flashes of energy.

"Is this what they call a war of the gods?" John muttered, barely able to comprehend the sight before him.

"Not quite." Scarlett shook her head. "A battle between legendary Pokemon is one thing, but a true war of gods... that's something else entirely."

John turned to her, frowning. "What do you mean?"

Scarlett's eyes remained locked on the storm of chaos ahead. "A war of gods isn't just about legendary Pokemon fighting. It's about something much greater—a struggle for divine status itself."

The fusion of the real world with the Pokemon world had changed everything. With it came mysteries beyond human comprehension—things that required a certain level of authority to truly understand. Becoming a Gym Leader wasn't just about training strong Pokemon anymore; it was about earning access to knowledge that few could grasp.

"Godhood? You mean like Arceus or something?" John asked, curiosity piqued.

Scarlett nodded. "Not quite Arceus, but close. The title of 'god' in the Pokemon world isn't about just being powerful—it's about holding a divine seat."

"So, what exactly is this 'divine seat'?" John pressed.

"It's a sacred relic, a symbol of a god's dominion. And here's the thing—there isn't just one legendary Pokemon of each kind in the world."

John nodded, understanding. "Right, like how there are multiple Zapdos, Regirock, or Landorus out there."

"Exactly. But the one humans revere, the one they call a god, is only the strongest of its kind—the one that holds the divine seat."

John's eyes widened as realization struck. "So, a Landorus only becomes a god by defeating another Landorus?"

Scarlett nodded. "That's right. To take the divine seat, it has to challenge the reigning god of its kind in battle. That's what we're seeing right now—a war for supremacy. One Landorus is trying to overthrow the other and claim the throne."

John lifted his gaze toward the raging storm. The ground beneath the two titans had been transformed—a vast expanse of land reduced to desert, fractured by deep chasms. Yet, despite their Ground typing, their fight wasn't limited to Earth-based moves. Landorus, after all, possessed the rare combination of Ground and Flying. Ground-type attacks alone wouldn't be enough to settle this duel.

Instead, the two legends exchanged an array of devastating techniques—Rock Slide, Extrasensory, Dragon Breath—powerful moves that collided in mid-air, each explosion echoing for miles. The sheer intensity of their battle made it impossible to predict who would emerge victorious.

Scarlett motioned for everyone to fall back. No one wanted to be caught in the crossfire if one of those attacks veered in their direction.

Then, a thought struck John. "You said legendary Pokemon are usually the ones fighting for divine status. Does that mean ordinary Pokemon can do it too?"

Scarlett glanced at him and smiled faintly. "It's rare, but yes. In fact, there's a famous case recorded in history—only 157 years ago."

John raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"

"Two Wailords fought a prolonged war in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. The battle lasted for months, but in the end, the reigning god was defeated, and a new one took its place. That Wailord became known as the Whale God."

John's jaw nearly dropped. "The Whale God? You're telling me there's a god-tier Wailord out there?"

Scarlett smirked. "Not just anywhere. You've seen it before."

John blinked. "Wait, what? When?"

"The Dragon's Nest."

John's mind raced. He had visited the Dragon's Nest before, where he had seen the three Dragon Kings. But a Whale God? That didn't sound familiar.

"Think about it," Scarlett continued. "The Dragon's Nest is always moving. It drifts across the ocean like a living island. Haven't you ever wondered why?"

John's breath hitched. The pieces clicked together. "No way. The Dragon's Nest isn't just a floating island... it's a god-tier Wailord?"

Scarlett nodded. "And not just any god-tier Pokemon. It serves as the guardian of Riverstone University and even the entire region. Its former trainer? Mr. Ye, the founder of Riverstone University."

John was stunned into silence. He had always known Riverstone had a deep history, but this... this was something else entirely.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two Landorus reached a fever pitch.

Both Pokemon lunged at each other, their final clash imminent. They collided mid-air with the force of a collapsing mountain, sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield. Then, in perfect unison, they unleashed their ultimate attack—Hyper Beam.

The twin beams of energy tore through the sky, colliding in a blinding explosion. The shockwave that followed shattered the very fabric of space itself.

John shielded his eyes. "What the hell is happening?!"

Scarlett's expression hardened. "They hit critical mass. The force of their attacks tore open a rift in space."

Through the gap in reality, glimpses of another world flickered—blue skies, golden fields, and a towering structure crackling with bright sparks of energy.

Scarlett's eyes widened. "No... that's—"

Before she could finish, she pulled a Pokeball from her belt and released her Salamence. The dragon let out a fierce roar as Scarlett climbed onto its back. She turned to John and tossed him a small key.

"Take this to the headmaster. If I don't come back in a year, tell him to come find me."

John barely had time to react before Salamence's wings flared, and Scarlett dived straight into the rift.

And then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, the portal snapped shut.
