Route 111, the Nameless Valley to the north.
"Across all universes,
it watches over humans and all Pokémon."
"That's a saying about Arceus."
Those words had been copied from Arceus's Plates. They were also on the Plates Li Wei owned.
Only through Li Wei's explanation did they learn what a terrifying being the Arceus they had just seen truly was.
Arceus had long since reached the level of the multiverse.
Even Red, who could defeat Arceus's avatar, could never defeat Arceus's true body.
Li Wei did have an old acquaintance who had challenged Arceus's true body: Black Rayquaza.
Black Rayquaza had fought and lost again and again, only to keep coming back. Eventually, Arceus got fed up and held back enough to let Black Rayquaza win.

Arceus hadn't even suffered a minor injury.
Black Rayquaza had only realized that later.
Li Wei had learned all this from Black Rayquaza.
Ever since acquiring the Power of Overcoming, Li Wei had liked disturbing Black Rayquaza's sleep whenever he had nothing to do...

He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Arceus.
But from the looks of it, the venerable deity still had no intention of chatting with him.
