>"Gah! I've no desire to watch from the sidelines as Arceus comes to you! And I absolutely cannot accept a world in which you would ever manage to defeat Arceus... Someday, I'll solve every riddle in the legends of Hisui's Pokémon. And on that day, I'll stand before Arceus at last—No, I will CONQUER it! No matter how many years, how many decades, how many centuries it takes me!"Volo's more interested in the player's completion of the pokédex, as he thinks that will somehow get him closer to meeting Arceus himself but the only reason he still wants to meet it is to cow it to his will, still thinking of himself. Cogita, who thought of everyone but herself - even the interlopers who claimed her Tribe name for their own was rewarded by Arceus for her faithfulness, just as rewarding the pious is a trope that extends to real-world religions.
