Taking Away Hoopa and Victini, The Shadow's Strangeness

A burst of white light suddenly exploded above the valley, and a white, centaur-like Pokémon appeared within it.

"Arceus, you finally came~"

The moment Hoopa saw Arceus appear above the valley, his eyes lit up, and he quickly flew toward Arceus.

Arceus looked at Hoopa, who had already flown before him, nodded slightly, and gazed directly into his eyes.

Darkrai watched Arceus in the sky, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes as well.

No matter how many times he saw Arceus, the Pressure he brought was always so overwhelming.

Yet Arceus's Pressure did not seem to affect Hoopa at all.

Hoopa still wore a bright smile as he excitedly chattered away to Arceus.

"Did you know? While I was grounded, I made a really good friend. He treats me really, really well. He plays with me, brings me lots of delicious food, and he also..."

Watching Hoopa chatter endlessly at Arceus in the sky, Darkrai could not help but feel a little anxious.

Get to the point already. What if Arceus gets impatient later?

But...

Darkrai looked at Arceus in the sky. Why did it feel like there was a faint smile on Arceus's face?

Darkrai thought to himself, but quickly shook his head and threw the thought aside.

How could that be possible? That was Arceus. How could he possibly smile?

Arceus did not react. He simply listened quietly as Hoopa spoke.

After quite a while, Hoopa finally told Arceus all about his time with Lu Ze.

"So, Arceus, could you temporarily lift my grounding? I want to help Little Ze and fight alongside him."

Hoopa looked at Arceus with sparkling eyes.

He truly did want to fight beside Lu Ze, but if he could use this chance to go out and have some fun too,
