"System, how big is this world?"
[100 million square kilometers]
"What!!!"
Dak couldn't remain calm hearing this number. He stood stunned, looking around the vast plains.
The Earth's surface area is 510 million square kilometers, of which 148 million are land.
That meant the Origin World was about a fifth of Earth in size, or two-thirds of Earth's land area. No wonder Dak was shocked.
"This plain is 100 million square kilometers?!"
Dak swallowed hard, unable to comprehend the scale.
[No, the land area you are standing on equals the Hatchery's area multiplied by one million, totaling 3.8 million square kilometers. Beyond this land lies the ocean. The land area will expand with the expansion of the Hatchery, up to a maximum of 50 million square kilometers.]
"3.8 million square kilometers."
Dak's homeland had an area of 9.8 million square kilometers, meaning the land under his feet was about a quarter the size of it.
"This..."
When Dak looked at the plains again, his eyes were filled with bewilderment.
How to develop such vast land?
It seemed impossible to utilize all of it.
"Is this continent only composed of plains?"
[This land follows the same template as the Hatchery's hall: plains, a single tree, and a lake. If you require additional terrains or buildings, please make purchases from the new module in the Magical Shop.]
"Same template."
Dak pondered the phrase, then suddenly remembered a crucial question, "System, how do we apply the store's suppression rules to this Origin World?"
[The Origin World inherently includes a more stringent void suppression rule, which you cannot feel, applying to all creatures except the host and Pokémon, including the staff of the Magical Hatchery.]
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
Hearing the system's answer, Dak felt a weight lift from his chest. He had been concerned about unruly individuals from the world of One Piece entering the Pokémon Island and causing trouble.
With this suppression rule in place, even if more of such individuals appear in the future, Dak wouldn't need to worry. He wouldn't even need to intervene personally. The members or Pokémon living here could easily handle these troublemakers.
Now Dak had the time to check out the new module mentioned by the system.
[Magical Shop]
Indeed, there was a new module named [Pokémon Island], the name Dak had chosen for this world.
It contained many items that had not been available in the Magical Shop before.
[Volcano Terrain (1 square meter)]: 1 Magical Coin
[Snowy Mountain Terrain (1 square meter)]: 1 Magical Coin
Terrains like forests, plateaus, rocky mountains, lakes, and flower beds were generally priced at one Magical Coin per square meter.
Dak thought these were the main items, but the real key items came later.
[Sinnoh League Headquarters]: 10,000 Magical Coins
[Pokémon Grand Festival Venue]: 50,000 Magical Coins
[City Level Pokémon Center]: 1,000 Magical Coins
[Wallace Cup Venue]: 10,000 Magical Coins
[Professor Oak's Research Lab]: 1,000 Magical Coins
Dak nearly drooled seeing these buildings. They were exact replicas from the Pokémon world, though they didn't include any related equipment, machinery, or office supplies, which Dak needed to purchase separately.
Dak had originally thought it might take decades to build these structures in his plan, but the system had saved him a tremendous amount of trouble.
Now Iceberg wouldn't need to stay busy on Pokémon Island; he could focus on the sea projects.
As for Dak, he just needed to focus on making money.
Could this be the system's real purpose?!
Dak suddenly realized the true aim of the system; all these conveniences were for him to focus on making money?
[The system aims to cultivate the host into the greatest Pokémon breeder across all worlds. Earning money is secondary; the main goal is for the host to have more time to complete main quests and improve breeding skills.]
"Okay, I believe you."
Dak nodded, thoroughly convinced.
Overall, acquiring Giratina was a huge win for Dak. The inclusion of this Origin World and the new module in the system were perfect.
The only downside was the lack of money.
What he thought was a substantial amount of 120,000 Magical Coins now seemed insufficient.
"Turning this world into what I hope for might not be feasible with the wealth from just the world of One Piece alone."
Dak sighed and shook his head.
He wondered how the world would look if he could divert all the money from the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, probably totaling hundreds of billions of Berries.
As Dak sat down, contemplating how to make money, a massive shadow gradually enveloped him.
"Is it getting dark?"
Dak frowned as he came to his senses but suddenly realized he had forgotten something important.
Why did he enter Pokémon Island initially?
"Roar."
A deep sound came from behind Dak in the sky.
Instinctively turning around, Dak froze on the spot.
He remembered; he was there to meet his beloved Giratina.
At that moment, Giratina floated quietly in the sky in front of Dak, its eerie blue eyes steadily gazing at him.
As a mythical Pokémon, controlling its size was trivial, depending purely on its will.
(Ps: Here, the sizes from the games are not followed as they are too low. If movies and animations can enlarge these divine creatures, so can we.)
So, what's the smallest size for a mythical Pokémon like Giratina in Origin Form? At least 6.9 meters.
And the largest? No one has ever studied this.
If asked before, Dak would have said he didn't know, but now, if asked, he would say at least two hundred meters.
"Hello~"
Dak greeted the Origin Form Giratina in front of him.
The immense body completely cast Dak in shadow, and conservatively estimating, it stretched about two hundred meters.
Two hundred meters was certainly long, a titan in the Pokémon world, but in the world of One Piece, it was still just a baby.
In the deep seas of One Piece or in the Calm Belts, sea kings several hundred to thousands of meters long were common.
Of course, Giratina might not win in size, but its combat power was not something those sea kings could touch.
"Roar~"
Giratina made a sound that Dak couldn't quite understand.
Dak tilted his head. Due to low compatibility and intimacy with Giratina, he couldn't yet understand its language.
Dak was a bit flustered.
Giratina was rumored to be extremely violent and brutal, more so than Yveltal, and it was because of its rebellion against Arceus that it was banished to the Distortion World.
Although Giratina wouldn't hurt him, thanks to the initial intimacy set by the system, if it had a really bad temper, many of Dak's plans might be obstructed.
Just as Dak was anxiously scratching his head, Giratina shrank.
In Dak's view, Giratina became smaller and smaller until it was only 7 meters long, probably its smallest limit.
"Roar~"
"?!"
Dak shook his head, puzzled.
He wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong, but it seemed like Giratina had just made a sound that was somewhat coquettish.
"Whine~"
Giratina seemed anxious as Dak remained motionless. It pushed its head forward, nudging into Dak's arms.
It's important to note that Giratina's head had horns.
Dak couldn't withstand it and nearly spat out blood.
"Okay, okay, good boy."
Suppressing the pain in his abdomen, Dak reached out to pet Giratina's head.
Now he was sure; the legendary Giratina was indeed being affectionate. The earlier sound wasn't an illusion.
His own Giratina was a bit strange.
But that was good. Dak liked this friendly and gentle Giratina; as long as it wasn't a violent creature.
Darkrai, emerging from Dak's shadow at that moment, eyed Giratina warily.
When Giratina had approached, Darkrai was ready to intervene, but hearing Giratina's sound had shocked him.
Darkrai glanced at Dak.
If he hadn't misunderstood, Giratina seemed to have called Dak "Daddy."
"Whine?"
As Darkrai stealthily observed Giratina, the legendary Pokémon noticed his presence.
Giratina's blue eyes rolled, and it charged at Dak's shadow.
Darkrai didn't understand what Giratina was doing and quickly retreated into Dak's shadow, but to his surprise, Giratina followed, pulling him out.
He couldn't resist!
Darkrai was shocked. He couldn't resist this Giratina at all.
Their powers weren't even on the same level!
"Roar!"
Giratina dropped Darkrai to the ground, growled, then shielded Dak behind it.
"Wait! Giratina, this is Darkrai, my partner. He has protected me many times, and he will be your partner too."
Seeing that Giratina seemed to have mistaken Darkrai for a nefarious enemy, Dak quickly intervened, hugging Giratina's large tail to stop further aggression.
