He knows Pokémon better than me.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the spot, a two-colored lightning pillar shot into the sky, forming a violent explosion.

Pikachu rushed over, looking worriedly at the center of the explosion. There were red welts on its back, like it had been whipped.

"Pikapi?"

Damn it, they have no sportsmanship at all! I should have slashed them at that moment!!
Fortunately, the current gradually spread out after a few seconds, and the two people in the center did not appear to have fallen.

He was blown up like a little guy, his hair was all fluffy and curly, and even the air he coughed out turned into black smoke.

Ash suddenly shuddered and shook his body. Fortunately, Pikachu had already trained his resistance to electricity, so he only felt like he had received a full-body massage, and his bones felt soft.

Zoroark also revealed his form, and the illusion ability dissipated, causing him to revert to Ash's Galar form.

"What the hell is this black lightning strike?"

After leaving Zhuqing Village, he followed Xiaoguang closely, intending to find an opportunity to reunite with him.

As a result, the black lightning struck first, leaving no choice but to call upon Pikachu to defend against it.

"Are you alright, Xiaoguang?"

He quickly looked down at Xiao Guang, who looked as if he had just had his hair permed and had a somewhat dazed expression, but he didn't seem to have suffered any serious injury.

This black lightning strike did not appear to be aimed at the physical body.
Or is it an attack on the soul?

However, he had already been greatly weakened by Brother Chi, making him easily immune to the berserk effect of Black Flash.

Similarly, Xiao Guang also had an old grandmother, and his soul had long been expanded by Prandina, so there's no major problem.

"Huh? Ash, and Pikachu, what are you doing here?!"

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Xiao Guang blinked and finally came to his senses, then looked surprised.

Xiao Zhi waved his finger in front of the latter:

"Do you know me?"

Didn't they say he had amnesia?
He thought it would take several months or even half a year, and that he would have to complete some major event before Xiao Guang regained his memories. But how come it ended right after leaving the starting village?

"What just happened? Was I struck by lightning?"

Xiao Guang stood up, his brows furrowed. Could it really be because of his bad luck earlier?
Although he had a dark complexion, his tone of voice and mannerisms convinced Ash that the other person had remembered everything.

"Great, Hikari! I was worried you wouldn't recognize me and Pikachu!"

"Don't you recognize me? What happened to me?"

Hikari looked at Satoshi with a puzzled expression. It seemed that the black lightning strike had enlightened her, and not only past memories but also recent memories flooded her mind. Her eyes gradually brightened.

"Oh right, I finally remember everything now!"

Seeing Ash's bewildered expression, Dawn picked up the Rowlet that had been rendered unable to battle and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a long story, let's go somewhere else first."

As she spoke, she looked at Tianguan Mountain with lingering fear, wondering if another black lightning bolt would strike if she said "I can be struck by lightning" again.
Soon, on the riverbank.

The black lightning strike just now scared away the wild Pokémon nearby, so there's no need to worry about aggressive wild Swimsuit Weasels bothering them.

After cleaning his face, Ash sat cross-legged beside her, while Dawn, while tending to Rowlet, began to recount her story:
"I heard that Shenhe Town was holding a Green Washing Festival, and since I had nothing to do, I arranged to meet Sister Tina and Manyue in Shenhe Town, but I had to arrive a few days early." "Then, on the street, I met a woman who looked and had a very similar air to Miss Zhulan."

"What do I think?"

Xiao Zhi immediately spoke up, and sure enough, the whole thing was related to this mysterious woman.

Xiao Guang nodded. At that moment, Wu Si got straight to the point, telling her things like "time and space loss," "you are the chosen one," and "that world needs you to save it."
Her first reaction was naturally to refuse; it just didn't sound plausible.

However, as Wu Si continued speaking, she immediately became serious.

“If you grant my request, then I can also fulfill your wish. Traveling to different times and spaces is not difficult for the Great Lord Sinnoh.”

"Xiao Guang, what's your wish?"

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow, but quickly realized what he meant and said with a smile:

"You're here to help the young lady with her full moon celebration, right?"

Xiao Guang smiled and nodded. Prantina was like an older sister to her, and Manyue was also very close to her. She knew that the two of them had been trying various methods to find their way home.

Perhaps the woman before me is the answer?
So she agreed to Wusi's request and made a contract with him.

She can travel to the timeline that Wusi mentioned, and in exchange, Wusi will help Manyue and the young lady return to their hometown!
"No wonder, I couldn't contact Manyue and Miss after that either. Have they already gone home?"

Xiao Zhi touched his chin, suddenly realizing.

So Ah Hong went along with them too?

Hearing Ash's words, Dawn narrowed her eyes and smiled. It seemed that Full Moon and the others had a smooth time.
However, after seeing Wu Si casually open a portal to the Xicui region, she was basically certain that the woman in front of her could fulfill her request.

"After coming to this world, I also have some limitations. For example, I have lost my memories, and I can't use the Pokémon I used to have. I only have a mobile phone, Rotom, with me."

Xiao Guang's gaze lingered; her only thought was to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to her own world.

So after losing my memory, only two words remained in my mind—

Speedrun!
"I still have all my memories, but I can't use my Pokémon for the time being."

Ash took out a few Poké Balls and tossed them in his hand.

Upon arriving in this world, he immediately tried it out and discovered that none of the Galar team he brought could be deployed normally; only Pikachu, Zoroark, and Goodra were usable.

The former is estimated to have broken the rules of restriction simply by using force.

Are the last two Pokémon because they are green-looking?
"Then Dr. Laben dragged me into joining Team Galactic. By the way, Team Galactic in this world seems to be a very upright organization that protects the entire Zhuqing Village."

"I became a member of the Survey Corps, completed research projects, and have been doing so ever since."

Xiao Guang then recounted his experiences after arriving in the Xicui area.

To be honest, she didn't know why she was the chosen one; she was quite nervous and apprehensive at first.
But now that Ash has come along, things are different!

Xiao Guang suddenly felt a sense of open-mindedness, even excitement and anticipation!
The two exchanged information and finally high-fived each other, reaching an agreement.

Speedrun!
It seems that as long as I complete the task I'm hoping for, I should be able to return to my own timeline! (End of Chapter)
