"Mew~"
"Bi~"
A pink and a green figure appeared around Dak.
Mew curiously tilted its head, floating left and right, its vibrant eyes darting around the colorful world. If Dak hadn't said anything, it would have immediately dashed out to explore.
Meanwhile, Celebi clung to Dak's head, hiding most of its tiny body behind him. Its onion-shaped head peeked out cautiously, observing the world with timid curiosity.
Though freshly created by the system, these newborn Pokémon exhibited distinct personalities.
Mew, like a playful kitten, was endlessly curious and impulsive, eager to explore anything that caught its interest.
Celebi, on the other hand, was cautious, preferring to ensure its safety before engaging with its surroundings.
"Mew!"
Mew noticed Celebi hiding behind Dak and its eyes lit up with delight.
Though the system had instantly created them, Mew and Celebi perceived their existence as if they had been nurtured from eggs by Dak himself.
Yet, they felt no innate familiarity toward each other, having never actually shared time together.
"Mew, this is Celebi, your sibling. You were born together," Dak said, scratching Mew under its chin.
Mew's soft pink fur was smooth and pleasant to the touch, while Celebi's cool green skin felt silky and delicate.
These legendary Pokémon lacked defined genders, embodying traits of both or neither as the situation demanded.
"Bi."
Celebi shrank back slightly, hesitant to meet Mew.
But Mew didn't care about boundaries, flying forward to embrace Celebi and giving it an affectionate nuzzle. Celebi froze, utterly bewildered by the sudden affection.
The interaction was like watching a fiery extrovert interact with a reserved introvert—passion meeting reticence.
"From now on, you'll live together near that tree," Dak said, pointing toward the towering World Tree. "Protect it well, but feel free to explore the world too."
Dak had no intention of confining them to the tree like their counterparts in other worlds.
Unlike the mythical World Tree in the Pokémon world—an energy-laden mineral that nourished its world—this World Tree primarily enhanced Yggdrasil City's environment and air quality. Its future evolution, if any, remained a mystery.
"Mew."
Mew glanced at the World Tree, then nodded nonchalantly. It didn't seem to care much about where it lived.
"Bi~"
Celebi, though visibly uncomfortable with Mew's clinging, didn't resist.
"Oh, Celebi, I actually need a favor from you," Dak said, suddenly recalling something.
Carrying the two small Pokémon, he set off to find Madara and his group.
At this time, Esdeath still didn't fully grasp the nature of Pokémon, let alone the significance of Mew and Celebi.
Only much later, when she learned of their legendary status and found it nearly impossible to encounter them again, would she regret not fostering a closer bond in her youth.
Like Dak himself, these legendary Pokémon appeared to the public sparingly.
Back during Dak's adventuring days, Pokémon like Darkrai and Sceptile had accompanied him prominently, solidifying their reputations.
But now, with Dak quietly working behind the scenes, these "Primordial Gods" had faded from the public eye.
In time, as Dak retired and a new Alliance leader took his place, these legendary Pokémon would fully transition into "legends."
When Madara and the others saw Mew and Celebi, they were momentarily stunned.
Dak explained that the small onion-headed Pokémon could extend their lifespans and rejuvenate their vitality.
"These two Pokémon, are they…"
Izuna studied the pair closely, finding no trace of the imposing presence typical of the gods within the Primal Shrine.
Even the gentlest-looking Lapras possessed a fearsome backstory and aura.
Yet these two…
"Yes, they're Primordial Gods," Dak confirmed.
In Pokémon Island lore, there were no terms like "legendary Pokémon" or "mythical Pokémon." Instead, such beings were classified as "Primordial Gods"—Pokémon that emerged alongside Creation God Dak, endowed with divine powers.
Only one of each Primordial God existed. While a new Celebi might emerge centuries later in another forest, it wouldn't bear the title of "Primordial God."
"Mew is the Progenitor God, and Celebi is the Forest God," Dak announced.
He had already designated their titles, aligning them with their attributes.
Mew, hailed as the ancestor of all Pokémon in another world, possessed the genetic material of every species and could learn every move. Its ability to transform into Pokémon like Lugia or Groudon further bolstered its claim to this title.
Celebi, often called the Forest God, embodied the vitality and harmony of nature. While it didn't qualify as a "Life God" due to Xerneas' existence, nor a "Time God" due to Dialga's, its role was clear.
"Progenitor God…"
Izuna's eyes lingered on Mew. The title seemed so grand it rivaled Dak's own as the Creation God.
"Celebi, please," Dak said, glancing at the small onion-shaped Pokémon.
Despite being freshly born, Celebi instinctively understood its powers and used them with ease.
"Bi~"
Celebi flitted to Madara, its transparent wings shimmering as it hovered above him. Glowing green particles began to rain down, enveloping Madara in a soft light.
Within moments, Madara's gray hair turned jet-black, the wrinkles on his face faded, and his stature became that of a robust forty-year-old. Even his Rinnegan seemed to shine brighter.
Celebi then repeated the process for Izuna, Hanzo, and the others, restoring them to their prime while simultaneously enhancing their strength.
"Izuna, if you have time, visit Dr. Vegapunk on the outskirts of Alliance City. He should be able to clone a pair of Sharingan for you," Dak said, noticing Izuna's Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Losing his Mangekyō had significantly diminished Izuna's combat prowess.
"He can do that?"
Izuna was intrigued. He'd thought Vegapunk was solely a Pokémon researcher, but Dak clarified:
Vegapunk's expertise extended far beyond Pokémon, encompassing biology, weaponry, and more. Creating a pair of Sharingan from Izuna's DNA wouldn't be difficult.
"I'll consider it," Izuna replied, already planning a visit.
"Mew, Celebi, you're free to play now. But remember to meet your other siblings when you get the chance," Dak said, dismissing the duo.
As a Trainer, Dak aimed to foster camaraderie among the Primordial Gods, minimizing the likelihood of conflicts.
"Mew~"
Mew eagerly dragged Celebi into the city, the pink and green duo drawing attention wherever they went.
In the following days, rumors of mysterious Pokémon sightings spread across Yggdrasil City.
These rumors attracted many visitors, who unwittingly became the first witnesses to the beginning of a legend.
From their tales, the legend of the World Tree City began to spread far and wide.

On the seventh day of Dak's stay in Yggdrasil, he found himself alone.
Madara had departed for the One Piece world, boarding Whitebeard's ship to train and refine his physical strength. His small personal goal? To be able to single-handedly take down all nine Tailed Beasts using only his body.
Izuna headed to Alliance City to seek Dr. Vegapunk and replicate a pair of Sharingan eyes. Meanwhile, Hanzo and Kakuzu returned to the Ninja World on assigned missions.
Dak had long contemplated creating dedicated Agriculture and Law departments within the Alliance. And for those roles, the talents from the Ninja World were naturally more suited than those of the One Piece world.
The Agriculture Department would benefit from the presence of Wood Release users, making the Senju clan an ideal resource. While replicating Hashirama's Wood Release was out of reach, Vegapunk's combined efforts with Orochimaru and Hiruko could at least produce users with capabilities comparable to Yamato, specializing in afforestation techniques.
For the Law Department, no one could surpass the precision and intelligence of the Nara clan. The Ninja World, known for its discipline and calculated approach, had the ideal candidates to lead such initiatives.
To balance power between the Ninja World and the One Piece world, Hanzo and Kakuzu were tasked with identifying and recruiting suitable candidates for these roles.
Under the World Tree, Dak stood watching Esdeath.
On his head, Celebi and Mew snoozed peacefully after a morning of mischief.
Esdeath clutched a delicate willow leaf in her hand, focusing intently as it bent slightly under an invisible force.
"Not bad, you've started to grasp some psychic energy," Dak said, encouraging her.
For psychic abilities, psychic energy was akin to chakra for ninja techniques.
Esdeath was in the early stage of extracting psychic energy, a process significantly more challenging than chakra extraction.
Unlike chakra, which could be felt and manipulated even by novices, psychic energy was elusive and intangible. Without enough mastery, one might not even realize it existed.
If Dak hadn't pointed it out, Esdeath might have assumed the bending leaf was caused by her fingers unconsciously applying pressure.
"Huff!"
Esdeath exhaled deeply, her cheeks flushed red from effort, and let the leaf drop.
"Not bad. You're officially a beginner psychic user now," Dak praised, patting her head.
Despite her modest beginnings, Dak could already see Esdeath's potential. Even in the Pokémon world, individuals who spent over a decade mastering the basics of psychic energy were considered talented.
And Esdeath had achieved what many never could—she had begun to manipulate psychic energy within days.
"Huff… this is exhausting. Training my body is much more rewarding," Esdeath complained, her breath still uneven.
She preferred the physical training in the One Piece world, where tangible progress fueled her motivation. Even in the Ninja World, where she trained to manipulate water and wind chakra, she could feel steady growth.
"I understand that psychic training is tiring and difficult," Dak reassured her. "But psychic abilities offer unparalleled potential—not just in battle, but in countless other ways."
He empathized with her struggles, as this was his first time teaching a disciple.
"Alright," Esdeath nodded obediently.
Though she found it challenging, she wouldn't give up. Her determination to grow stronger wasn't a fleeting whim—it was a driving force, an unyielding resolve.
"Still, why do you keep holding your breath and tensing up when using psychic energy?" Dak lightly flicked her forehead. "I've told you many times, Esdeath. The reason your psychic power doesn't last longer isn't a lack of energy—it's because you're exhausting yourself by holding your breath."
Esdeath had a habit of clenching her entire body and holding her breath while attempting to manipulate objects.
"I can't help it," she explained. "It's the only way I can feel the energy clearly."
"You need to break that habit. Focus on control, not brute force," Dak instructed patiently.
His own psychic abilities were granted by the system, requiring no effort to acquire, so he could only offer advice based on intuition.
"Take a break and spend some time with your Pokémon. Talk to them about your struggles," Dak suggested, gesturing toward two eggs nestled under the World Tree.
One was an Alolan Vulpix egg, specifically chosen to complement Esdeath's eventual mastery of Ice Release.
Although Esdeath hadn't awakened the Ice Release kekkei genkai, her water and wind chakra attributes made it a likely prospect.
The other egg belonged to Ralts, a Pokémon Esdeath personally selected after poring over the Pokédex.
Her ultimate goal was to evolve Ralts into Gallade, the Psychic-Fighting type Pokémon, which aligned perfectly with her combat style. While the graceful Gardevoir was an impressive psychic powerhouse, it didn't suit Esdeath's preference for direct, physical confrontation.
As Esdeath wandered off to bond with her Pokémon, Dak shifted his attention to the bustling town.
The presence of Celebi and Mew had drawn countless visitors, all eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Pokémon.
"So mischievous," Dak sighed, feeling the slight weight of the two Pokémon still napping on his head.
Celebi was relatively harmless, occasionally causing flowers and trees to flourish unexpectedly.
Mew, however, was a prankster. It loved transforming into eerie Ghost-types to startle unsuspecting townsfolk, knowing full well that many were still uneasy around Ghost Pokémon.
Yet oddly, those who were frightened seemed to enjoy the experience, often returning to the same spot in hopes of encountering Mew again.
"I'll need to craft a story to salvage their reputations," Dak mused.
As he paced, his gaze fell upon the towering World Tree.
"Aura… life force…"
An idea sparked, inspired by a tale from another world—the story of the Hero of Aura and the guardian of a great tree.
"That's it!" Dak's eyes lit up with excitement.
Yggdrasil City, while picturesque, lacked the renown of other Alliance cities. With this story, he could elevate its status and create a legacy.
[The Aura Hero and the World Tree Guardians]
Dak scrawled the title into the dirt with his finger, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
This would be the theme of the upcoming event—a tale centered on Mew, Celebi, Aura, Guardians, and the World Tree.
"I'll make this a decennial event," Dak decided.
With a slogan like "Miss it this time, and you'll have to wait ten years," he was confident Yggdrasil City would soon become the heart of excitement.
