Chapter Summaries

Lu Li negotiated with the Sun Moon Clan for Rare Candy and received a secret medicine that could help his Pokémon break through bottlenecks. The clan suspected he had stolen its Cosmog, but Lu Li set his Clone to study the medicine while the Sun Moon Clan’s search sparked a war with the Aztec Clan.

• Lu Li arranged for Yao Yifei to take everyone and the Pokémon into the Thousand-Faced God Secret Realm before the Sun Moon Clan’s visit.
• The Moon High Priest asked Lu Li for Rare Candy and offered him the Sun Moon Clan’s Barrier-Breaking Pill as thanks.
• The Moon High Priest asked Lu Li to help find the thief who stole the clan’s Secret Treasure, and Lu Li accepted the bounty while hiding his guilt.
• After leaving Lu Family Manor, the Moon High Priest told the Moon Holy Daughter that Lu Li was their leading suspect and urged her to look for evidence.
• Lu Li sent his Clone to study the Barrier-Breaking Pill, while the Sun Moon Clan and the Aztec Clan went to war over the Sun God’s Authority.

Tonatiuh considered abducting Baobao but delayed his plan while his clan pursued the Sun God's Authority, and Silco longed to reunite with Wei and Baobao. After Lu Li improved the Barrier-Breaking Pill, he took his team to the New Continent, where every First Echelon Pokémon broke through to God-level.

• Tonatiuh admired Baobao's Psychic abilities and planned to seize her later, but postponed acting until his ancestor claimed the Sun God's Authority.
• Silco saw Wei and Baobao online and wished to visit them, while Sevika warned him that entering the American League could get him captured.

• Lu Li took his Pokémon to the New Continent and used Barrier-Breaking Pills and Rare Candy to help his First Echelon reach Champion-level Peak before attempting their breakthroughs.
• Tropius, Charizard, Milotic, the Starry Pokémon, Metagross, and Steelix all reached God-level, while their powers brought the New Continent into balance.

Lu Li secretly strengthened his Pokémon and waited as the world remained unsettled. Reshiram chose him as the True Hero after hearing his honest answer about truth, then revealed she was interested in his Transformation Technique.

• Lu Li raised two Cosmog to Master-level and planned to give Wei a Barrier-Breaking Pill for Kubfu.
• Eike concluded that the world needed Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy, while Zekrom warned him that Reshiram might soon appear.
• Reshiram found only two and a half reserve emissaries and chose Lu Li despite suspecting Zekrom had marked him to deter her.
• In the Mind World, Lu Li said he could be certain that he himself was real, and Reshiram named him the True Hero.
• Reshiram promised to stop reading Lu Li's mind when he objected, then asked about his Transformation Technique.

Reshiram chose Lu Li and joined his League after learning about his unusual origins, while Lu Li gained the Eye of Truth and developed Meltan Candy at a terrible cost to a sealed Melmetal. After emerging from seclusion, Lu Li learned that the Sun Moon Clan had nearly killed Volcarona, bringing darkness back and threatening a larger conflict with the Aztec.

• Reshiram chose Lu Li because of his strength, then learned that Eike, the Emissary of Ideals, was Lu Li’s fiercely loyal subordinate and joined the League after Terapagos explained it.
• Reshiram granted Lu Li the Eye of Truth, and Lu Li used it to develop Meltan Candy by extracting liquid metal from the sealed Melmetal.
• Lu Li produced 3,000 Meltan Candies, reducing Melmetal to its Life Source and leaving it with at least 3,000 years to recover.
• Lu Li learned that the Sun Moon Clan had ambushed Volcarona with at least seven Sect Leader-level Pokémon, leaving Volcarona alive but unable to illuminate the world.
• Yao Yifei told Lu Li that the major Leagues had condemned the attack without naming the Sun Moon Clan and that the League had sought Lu Li as a mediator.
• Lu Li and Yao Yifei considered the likely coming conflict between the Sun Moon Clan and the Aztec, and Yao Yifei asked Lu Li what he planned to do.

Lu Li refused the League’s request to mediate between the Secret Realm Remnants and welcomed the newly revived Deoxys by battling it with Charizard. Deoxys accepted Lu Li as its Trainer, and Lu Li promised his partners powerful items to help their Pokémon advance.

• Lu Li rejected the League’s request to interfere in the conflict between the Secret Realm Remnants and returned to caring for the Meltan.
• A surge of Psychic energy heralded Deoxys’s revival in the basement, and Deoxys challenged Lu Li to prove its strength and secure its independence.
• Lu Li brought Deoxys to the Thousand-Faced God Secret Realm, where Charizard fought it and Mega Evolved to defeat it.
• Deoxys entered Lu Li’s Luxury Ball and formed a faint Bond Connection with him before greeting Charizard as a companion.
• Lu Li introduced Deoxys to Freya, Long Ying, and Yao Yifei, then offered Rare Candy and Barrier-Breaking Pills to help their Pokémon grow stronger.

Lu Li considered the escalating conflict between the Aztec Clan and the Sun Moon Clan before Tonatiuh launched an operation to capture Wei and Baobao. Baobao's Psychic power devastated a city street, and the chapter ended with her Abra inexplicably bursting apart as she struggled against Grovyle.

• Lu Li declined Wen Gongmao's request to mediate the conflict and chose to spend time with his Pokémon.
• Tonatiuh ordered the Aztec Clan's operation to begin while Baobao foresaw a vision of destruction and a red-haired person praying.
• Tonatiuh entered Wei and Baobao's hotel room and tried to recruit them into the Aztec Clan, then had a powerful Grovyle attack them when Wei refused.
• Baobao's Psychic Ability destroyed the building and surrounding street, but Grovyle restrained her while Tonatiuh threatened Wei.
• Wei tried to send a distress signal, but Tonatiuh said the area had no signal; then Abra emerged from Baobao's Poké Ball and burst apart without a visible attack.

Tonatiuh and the Aztec Clan attacked Baobao, but Mewtwo rescued her before Lu Li arrived and uncovered their motive. After taking Baobao and Wei home, Lu Li vowed to retaliate against the Aztec Clan and gave Wei a Barrier-Breaking Pill for Kubfu.

• Tonatiuh threatened Baobao with Wei’s life, and Baobao stopped fighting to protect her sister.
• Lu Li sensed danger, used divination to discover Baobao and Wei were in trouble, and traveled toward the American League with the Starry Pokémon.
• Mewtwo rescued Baobao, healed her injuries, killed Grovyle, and crushed Tonatiuh after he lied about wanting to invite Baobao to the Tonatiuh Secret Realm.
• Lu Li arrived, learned through hypnosis and memory-reading that Tonatiuh had targeted Baobao for the Aztec Clan’s research, then had the Starry Pokémon vaporize him.
• Back at Lu Family Manor, Lu Li told Wei he would retaliate against the Aztec Clan, and he gave her a Barrier-Breaking Pill to help Kubfu advance.

Wei and Kubfu used the Barrier-Breaking Pill to awaken the Martial Arts rules, allowing Kubfu to ascend into the Deity Urshifu. Urshifu kept his bond with Wei, and after The Three Musketeers arrived to congratulate him, Lu Li suspected they had another reason for coming.

• Determined to gain strength, Wei took Kubfu into the backyard and gave him the Barrier-Breaking Pill.
• Kubfu evolved into Urshifu as Wei witnessed the Martial Arts rules and gained a new power.
• The World Origin’s descent alerted the Moon High Priest, the Aztec clan, and The Three Musketeers to the birth of a Fighting-type Deity.
• Urshifu reassured Wei that their bond remained intact and shrank so they could spar at a similar height.
• Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion arrived to congratulate Urshifu, and Lu Li suggested they had come for more than congratulations.

The Three Musketeers asked Wei and Urshifu to prove they could guide Keldeo, their sheltered young successor, by fighting them in an arena. Urshifu defeated Cobalion, and Terrakion stepped forward to face him next.

• Groudon warned Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion not to reveal his existence to Lu Li, and they agreed.
• Lu Li guessed that the Three Musketeers had come to celebrate and spar with Urshifu, then asked to become Keldeo’s Trainer.
• Terrakion proposed testing Wei’s qualifications, and Wei accepted the challenge with Urshifu’s encouragement.
• The group entered the Three Musketeers’ Arena Secret Realm, where Cobalion challenged Urshifu under rules forbidding full use of Rule Power.
• Wei directed Urshifu through Cobalion’s attacks, and Urshifu knocked Cobalion down with Water Burst Fist.
• Terrakion took Cobalion’s place and prepared to battle Urshifu.

Wei and Urshifu failed to secure Keldeo as a companion, while Groudon ambushed and defeated the Three Musketeers in a sparring match. Lu Li obtained the Sun Moon Clan’s intelligence on the Aztecs and began reviewing what it revealed about their history and strength.

• The Three Musketeers decided to let Keldeo choose whether to join Wei, and Virizion sent Lu Li, Wei, and Urshifu back to the Real World.
• Groudon challenged the Three Musketeers and immediately crushed them with Endless Precipice Blades, prompting them to flee and decide Keldeo should go to Wei.
• Lu Li visited the Sun Moon Clan to seek cooperation against the Aztecs, rejected the Moon High Priest’s attempt to trade intelligence for Rare Candy, and received a USB drive of information.
• Lu Li reviewed the files and learned that the Aztecs worshipped Regigigas, whose original Regi Trio creation was said to have dragged the continents apart to form North and South America.

Lu Li learned about the Aztec Clan and decided to visit its Secret Realm, while an Aztec envoy offered gifts and a possible trial as compensation. After Baobao woke from her Psychic collapse, Lu Li comforted her about Abra, and Wei revealed that Kubfu had become a Deity; the group planned to leave for Aztec soon.

• Lu Li studied the Aztec Clan’s strength and resolved to visit its Secret Realm, despite uncertainty over whether Regigigas would fight for them.
• A Master-level Oranguru arrived on behalf of the Aztec First Elder, apologized for Tonatiuh, and offered gifts and the God of Power’s trial as compensation.
• Lu Li accepted a Tier 1 Divine Item but said he would visit Aztec and negotiate for the Radiant Flower, which could strengthen bonds with Pokémon and Deities.
• Baobao woke and mourned Abra, so Lu Li told her Abra had gone to find help; Mewtwo heard him and restored an Abra Clone to comfort her.
• Wei told Baobao that Kubfu had become a Deity and that she was now a God Trainer, while Lu Li told Baobao to rest instead of joining their trip.
• Wei asked about the gifts and an advancement banquet, and Lu Li agreed to accept the gifts but refused to hold a banquet; he planned to visit Aztec within a few days.

Lu Li prepared to enter the Aztec Secret Realm with Reshiram and Miraidon, while Ogerpon unexpectedly returned with Law Crystals and World Tree trunks. Ogerpon discovered that Lu Li’s home had become a gathering place for Deities and, despite its protests, began preparing new Masks with him.

• Lu Li declined to summon Eike, confirmed that Reshiram would fight Regigigas, and gained Miraidon’s promise to help before planning to leave for the Aztec Secret Realm.
• Mew and Ogerpon emerged from a spatial wormhole, but Mew fled when Mewtwo appeared searching for it.
• Ogerpon entered Lu Li’s Mind World, accused the Deities of stealing its partner, and learned they had named Lu Li the Pantheon, a gathering place and organization for Deities.
• Ogerpon returned with Rock, Ground, Psychic, Bug, and Fighting-type Law Crystals and World Tree trunks, and Lu Li urged it to make a Fighting Mask.
• Ogerpon sensed Urshifu, Jirachi, and Meloetta inside its Secret Realm and angrily confronted Lu Li for bringing Deities into its home.

Lu Li completed a Fighting-type Mask for Ogerpon, then traveled with Wei to the Aztec Secret Realm to confront the Aztec Clan. There, Virzilopochtli revealed a sinister purpose behind his invitation after Lu Li realized something was wrong with the temple.

• Lu Li crafted a Fighting-type Mask, and Ogerpon gained the ability to switch between its Masks and types.
• The Moon High Priest ordered the Moon Holy Daughter to visit the Lu Family Manor and planned to help cripple the Aztec Clan while using Lu Li as leverage.
• Lu Li and Wei entered the Aztec Secret Realm, where a Master-level Trainer escorted them to meet the First Elder.
• The First Elder led Lu Li to Virzilopochtli, who recognized Lu Li as a True Hero and offered to grant him whatever he could take.
• Virzilopochtli asked Lu Li whether he had noticed anything strange about the temple, and Lu Li realized the danger before Virzilopochtli smiled sinisterly.

Lu Li negotiated with Virzilopochtli after learning that Regigigas was dragging the world through the Void and that destroying the Aztec Secret Realm would doom everyone. He secured the Radiant Flower, materials, and the locations of the Three Legendary Titans, while the chapter ended with Terapagos observing that the two sides had never been able to fight.

• Virzilopochtli explained that the Aztec followed the rule that might makes right and revealed the Clan’s formidable combat strength.
• Reshiram confirmed that Deities could not use Rule Power in the Secret Realm because Regigigas was pulling the entire world through the Void, with the Secret Realm serving as the chain anchoring it.
• Lu Li demanded all the Radiant Flower and ordered those involved in Tonatiuh’s plan to commit suicide, with the God of the Future and the God of Destiny to confirm their responsibility.
• Virzilopochtli refused to hand over the Three Legendary Titans but offered to reveal where their populations lived, and Lu Li also demanded Rare Candy materials.
• Lu Li and Virzilopochtli shook hands on their agreement, and Virzilopochtli explained that the absent Deities had left to seek further advancement and never returned.
• Terapagos said the two sides had been unable to fight, while Regigigas remained occupied with His endless work of pulling the world forward.

As the Sun Moon Clan invaded Aztec and Lu Li’s negotiations with Virzilopochtli ended, Lu Li went to the battlefield to intercept Tonatiuh’s relatives fleeing through the Secret Realm Entrance. Wei Luo betrayed Aztec by declaring Lu Li an enemy and ordering an attack on him.

• Wei Luo faced the order to kill himself and his clan, but the Sun Moon Clan’s invasion gave him a chance to delay it and prepare an escape route for his family.
• The Third Elder told Virzilopochtli about the invasion, and Virzilopochtli sent the Trio of Legendary Titans to contain the fighting while allowing Lu Li to pursue Tonatiuh’s relatives.
• Lu Li and Wei reached the entrance and watched Aztec and the Sun Moon Clan clash in a vast battle contained by the Trio of Legendary Titans.
• Lu Li spotted Tonatiuh’s blood relatives moving toward the exit and summoned Miraidon, whose Deity pressure halted the battle.
• Wei Luo accused Lu Li of conspiring with the Sun Moon Clan, urged Aztec to charge, and ordered three Sect Leader-level Pokémon to attack Lu Li.

Lu Li left the Aztec Secret Realm after Wei chose to spare Wei Luo’s Pokémon and Urshifu killed the Aztec clansmen responsible for the attack on his family. He then stole six living Law Crystals from the Three Legendary Titans’ base, while Groudon and Terapagos discussed how Lu Li had influenced the Deities; Groudon ended by recalling an old Deity connected to the Radiant Flower.

• Lu Li judged Wei Luo guilty for tacitly approving Tonatiuh’s actions and left Wei to decide the fate of Wei Luo’s Pokémon.
• Wei Luo freed his Pokémon and promised they would remain in the Aztec Secret Realm, so Wei spared them while Urshifu killed the remaining Aztec clansmen.
• The Moon High Priest and the Aztec First Elder prepared to fight after Lu Li and Wei left, and Lu Li hoped their battle would exhaust both clans.
• Lu Li used Miraidon to reach the Three Legendary Titans’ ancient city and took six living Law Crystals, which Ogerpon stored in its Secret Realm.
• Groudon and Terapagos discussed how Lu Li had corrupted the Deities through their involvement with humans, and Groudon mentioned an old Deity connected to the Radiant Flower.

Lu Li and Virzilopochtli entered the Void to meet Regigigas, where Regidrago sought help with its Dragon God Completion Plan. Regigigas explained that Regidrago’s chosen path could not raise its rank, then met Groudon and Terapagos through Lu Li’s mental world and heard about their mutual assistance agreement.

• Groudon told Terapagos that Calyrex had been searching for the Radiant Flower and that the Calyrex underground was growing restless, while Groudon feared it could not suppress Him much longer.
• Lu Li returned to Virzilopochtli’s temple, learned the Radiant Flowers would be delivered, and agreed to help him meet Regigigas.
• Miraidon opened a spatial rift and protected Lu Li and Virzilopochtli as they entered the Void and saw Regigigas’s immense form.
• Regidrago emerged from Lu Li’s Divine Marks, greeted Regigigas as its Father God, and asked for help with its Dragon God Completion Plan.
• Regigigas told Regidrago that completing itself would not raise its rank and advised it to abandon Rule Power for the path of laws.
• Groudon and Terapagos appeared in Regigigas’s mental world, explained their agreement with Lu Li, and invited Regigigas to join it.

Regigigas warned Lu Li that Eternatus was nearing escape and secretly blessed him with a huge increase in strength. Lu Li left the still-raging Aztec Secret Realm with six Divine Beast Eggs, then allowed the Moon Holy Daughter to stay at his Villa while showing off the eggs to his household.

• Regigigas told Lu Li that the World-Devouring Dragon was awakening and that two newly born Deities needed his help, then secretly marked Lu Li with the God of Power Divine Mark as he departed the Void.
• Lu Li and Miraidon returned to the Real World, where Lu Li discovered that his strength had increased tenfold.
• Lu Li left the Aztec Secret Realm with Wei after finding the war between the Sun Moon Clan and the Aztecs had intensified, and the Moon High Priest regretted that her plans had failed.
• Lu Li returned to his Villa and let the Moon Holy Daughter stay there, while warning her to remain within the Villa.
• Lu Li presented six Law Crystals containing the incubation forms of Registeel, Regice, and Regirock, but the women declined to take them because their types did not suit them or they already had Pokémon they preferred.

Lu Li learned that the awakening World-Devouring Dragon was Eternatus, a threat capable of draining energy from the world, and used Evil Hoopa to locate the new Deities on the Europe Continent. He called an emergency Supreme Council meeting to warn the League and arrived with Yao Yifei, where Peng Chongshan recognized the power of his Pokémon.

• The Moon Holy Daughter asked Lu Li about Cosmog and her Clan Members in the Aztec Secret Realm, and Lu Li warned her that Aztec was stronger than her intelligence reports suggested.
• Lu Li identified the World-Devouring Dragon as Eternatus and realized its awakening could drain the Real World and threaten other worlds.
• Evil Hoopa showed Lu Li a map locating the two New Deities on the Europe Continent, so Lu Li contacted the League Secretary-General to convene the Supreme Council.
• The League President approved an emergency meeting and planned to use Lu Li's presence to bolster the orthodox League faction against the Secret Realm Remnants.
• Lu Li brought Yao Yifei to the meeting by Teleport, and Peng Chongshan recognized the Starry Pokémon as Master-level before discussing the League's shifting power structure with Lu Li.

Lu Li warned the Supreme Council that Eternatus would soon awaken and demand aid, while Kyushu League leaders began preparing Secret Realms to shelter civilians. Lu Li set out with the First Echelon to search for a champion capable of defeating Eternatus, as Terapagos revealed that Lu Li’s actions had accelerated the crisis by six hundred years.

• Lu Li told the Supreme Council that Eternatus would soon awaken, consume the world’s energy, and require at least ten Tier 1 Deities or three Lord God-level Tier 1 Deities to seal.
• Lu Li warned that Eternatus would target Secret Realms after draining the Real World, then left the council to seek the king capable of defeating it and secure aid from the major powers.
• The League President believed Lu Li’s warning and ordered the construction of Small Secret Realms to shelter civilians, while recognizing that the Eighteen Great Attribute Families faced particular danger.
• Lu Li returned to his manor, bid Yao Yifei farewell, and set out with the First Echelon to find the Hundred Battles Brave, hoping instead to find the King of Shield or King of Sword.
• In the Mind World, Terapagos told Groudon that Lu Li’s actions had caused Eternatus to awaken six hundred years early, before the world’s limiter had formed; Groudon suggested recalling Necrozma, but Terapagos dismissed the idea.
