FYI: WLERA's new official updating schedule will be every other month from now. If I can make it, I will upload some pages monthly.

Part 43 was becoming very long, so I decided to cut it in half.
ALSO, IT IS MAH BOI!! Finally fully revealed, I've been waiting for him since 2016 :')

As for the nerds out there; yes. I know Eterna Statue is supposed to be a mixture of Dialga/Palkia. BUT as a kid, I only had Platinum and sometimes the statue sprites are little off (looking at you FireRed and the statues) and since the description was 'unidentified pokemon' I thought it was more of the artists imagination, just an idea of a possible legendary. The game states the plate is broken/unreadable and since the game's mascot is a cast-out legendary, forgotten between time and space, my childbrain immediatly tought 'HOLY SHIT IS THIS HINTS ABOUT GIRATINA??'
Of course, the statue being Giratina does no add up with the story I've cooked up for WLERA, but the Statue being a vision of Arceus? Well, that's something I can work with.

Trivial:
- In French, they also call Arceus 'the original one' - l'Être Originel. However, in WLERA universe Kalos' view on Arceus is little different compared to Sinnoh people who worship it as the Creator, so I made Granma Edna use the title l'Être divine, the divine being.
> Yes, for those who didn't catch up yet, Granny is an immigrant from Kalos, she arrived to Sinnoh around her late 30's. She isn't the only Kalosian living in Sinnoh
- Arceus' statue design was a huge trouble for me; first I thought about a very abstract approach, making the statue nothing like Arceus to go with the game's 'unidentified pokemon'. Then I desided it to be build by someone who had seen Arceus, but in a way Arceus' form wasn't too regocnizeable (probably against a very strong light source from the back). I also threw in some Komainu style. This kinda threw off the clean, undetailed god-like possure I was going for first, but also made more of an impression. Afterall, pokemon are terrifying creatures.
- Sinnoh people also believe Arceus carries a sun on its back.
- I wrote WLERA and its Sinnoh history before PLA came out. But I also confirm that the ideas GF had go well enough with the ideas I had. PLA can be seen as somewhat-canon in WLERA universe, but has no impact or true references in this story.
- Emma stands with artistic freedom lmao.
