Netherlu nodded to Gavin and then turned to Soul. "Arceus does what Arceus does. I don't know for sure if it was me who did it or if Arceus helped me to resurrect the beasts, but I didn't ask. I just felt so much compassion for them and the sadness of the people who grieved them, and I felt my sacred fire burn, and that's how Entei, Suicune and Raikou came to be. My children." He turned to Gavin. "Of course I know better than to question Arceus openly, but he made me the freedom-loving beautiful bird I am, so he will have to deal with it if I disagree with locking anyone up."
