>>57020784>The Lake Trio aren’t why you are able to thwart Cyrus unless you would otherwise be too dumb to follow him into the Distortion World and then figure out the bolder puzzle. They are helping, they aren’t instrumental.They're literally instrumental to his defeat in Diamond and Pearl, without them stopping the expansion of his new galaxy, controlling Dialga or Palkia and deleting the red chain everyone would have been fucked.

>Your doing so means that this irrational world will remain in existence! Does that make it impossible for me to create a new world? Even if I made new Red Chains, the new world can't be made!
