He knows Pokémon better than me.

"I see."

After listening to Xiaoguang's explanation, Xiaozhi finally understood what had happened.

Kita had already disappeared when he was traveling in the Unova region.

The total timeframe is roughly two years. Is it synchronized with the timeline of the Xicui area?
He usually talks to his friends in the Unova region, so he is fairly familiar with the situation there. He fought against the two famous twin managers of the Metro, but he has never been able to reunite them.

However, regarding electroconvulsive therapy for awakening memories...
"It's not possible at the moment."

Ash shook his head. Last time, besides Pikachu's electric shock, there was also a black lightning strike that fell from the foot of Mount Coronet. The two had a special effect.

Unless the black lightning strikes Mr. Kitashō once more, but that's uncontrollable.

Seeing Bei Shang looking down with a somewhat dejected expression, Xiao Zhi quickly comforted him:

"Don't worry, Mr. Bei Shang. Now that we've met, I certainly won't stand idly by."

"In six months at most, Xiaoguang and I will return to our hometown, and we'll take you with us!"

He said six months was too much. He felt that in another two months, he and Xiaoguang would be able to clear the game and go home.

Beside him, Xiao Guang nodded earnestly.

Can I still go home?

A hint of interest flickered in Bei Shang's bewildered gaze.

He had been living in the Xicui area for two years and had become the farm manager at the foot of Tianguan Mountain, with many Pearl Team subordinates who needed his protection.

Aside from being confused about his origins and identity, he also gained a lot of friendships.

However, Xicui area is not his home after all.

And he really wanted to see his younger brother!
"Six months at most? I believe in you!"

Bei Shang clenched his fists, meaning he had to handle the matters between the Pearl Team and the manager properly in this final period.

There's also the raging king at the foot of Tianguan Mountain; we must deal with him before we can leave this place with peace of mind.

"Also, my fighting style."

Although I don't know what I did in the past.

However, for the past two years, Hokusho has been working hard to promote his preferred battle style to trainers in the Seishi region.

That's right. Before going home, it's best to find another disciple and pass on your fighting style, methods, and techniques to him!

Suddenly, Bei Shang felt that half a year was not a long time.

However, the most urgent task now is to resolve the issue of Muchun and Wanpi Leidan.

Listening to their explanations, Xiao Zhi didn't think there was much of a problem:

"Tank Skunk? Easy, leave this one to me, and you just focus on calming down that naughty Raikou."

Just give Pikachu a shock, and that sassy guy won't be able to move at all.

But is there any homoerotic tension in the Xicui area, or is it with Mr. Gangshi?
Thinking back to the night before, when Gangshi had climbed into his bed, he couldn't help but shudder.

After a brief discussion, the three decided that there was no time to lose and prepared to pack quickly before heading to the foot of Tianguan Mountain.

"It's convenient to go to the pure white permafrost area!"

Xiao Zhi thought to himself.

"I'll go pack my things first. Let's meet at the village entrance in half an hour."

Bei Shang hurriedly left the house. He had completely shed his previous confused and gloomy appearance and was full of energy after finding his goal.

"Resolve this quickly, then find an apprentice and train him intensively for two months!" Ash and Dawn also got busy. As for Dawn's current Pokémon lineup, he didn't need to interfere too much.

Half an hour later, they met up with Bei Shang at the village entrance, and the three of them released their respective flying companions—

His partner is naturally the Corviknight, whose superb stamina allows it to easily fly a round trip over the Greenland region.

Bei Shang released a Magneto that had evolved using the special magnetic field around the foot of Tian Guan Mountain.

Xiao Guang's flying partner is a winged owl, which can only fly by holding onto the bird's claws like a paraglider.

It is about half again as big as the usual starter Pokémon. Although its stamina is not as strong as Corviknight's, the distance from Zhuxing Village to the foot of Mount Tianguan is not long and there is no difficulty.

In less than twenty minutes, after crossing the obsidian plain, the three of them arrived at the foot of Mount Tianguan.

The spiraling energy vortex atop the mountain appears even more majestic and spectacular.

"It seems to connect to another space?"

Ash dismounted from Corviknight and looked up at the black and red vortex above.

At this distance, he could perceive more clearly the desolate and bleak aura of the black and red vortex, which seemed somewhat similar to Giratina's Reverse World.

Or is it the same thing at all?
"Could this be something that Wang Luo and Giratina from this timeline created together?"

Once that thing is completely eliminated, this world of Xicui should be at peace.
He wasn't in a hurry to direct the Corviknight directly to that energy vortex.

The two people beside him also landed and began climbing the mountain from an entrance at the foot of the mountain on the south side.

Two members of the Galactic Team guards were stationed at the checkpoint. They were quite surprised by Xiao Guang's five-star status. "Is this young girl already on the same level as Team Leader Xingyue?"
As for Bei Shang and Xiao Zhi, members of the Ginkgo Merchant Guild, they had no right to stop them.

"Can Zoroark's illusion effect still work on trainers?"

Beishang naturally learned Xiaozhi's identity along the way; after all, they were from the same hometown, so there was no need to hide it.

"But the Zoroark in this world seems different from the one I know?"

It seems that after being stimulated by Hikari and Satoshi, Kita's memories are gradually returning.

When you think of Zoroark, the first thing that comes to mind is the black-haired Zoroark, not the green-haired Zoroark with white and gray fur.

"Anyway, let's go to our Pearl Team's base first."

Bei Shang led the way, and the road became increasingly rugged until they arrived at a relatively flat area.

Sparse vegetation grows on the brownish-brown rocky ground, with a small spring pool nearby.

On the other side was a towering cliff. Xiao Guang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the mountain will collapse and rocks will fall one day?"

Seven or eight light pink tents were pitched at the foot of the rock face, and the people here were all dressed in the Pearl Team uniforms.

As soon as they saw Bei Shang return, they all gathered around to welcome him.

Although he was an outsider, in just two years, Bei Shang had become one of the Pearl Team's own.

Of course, Hokusho had no concept of faith in the Great Sage Sinnoh.

In his mind, the ancient god was a black and white dragon with fire coming out of its butt.

After briefly introducing Ash and Dawn to the tribe, Kitasho led the two to the front of a nearly vertical cliff.

"Going up from here, there is a dilapidated temple called Shenhe Temple, and the Moon-Welcoming Battlefield where the Cave King, Mischievous Raid, is located is to the west of the temple."

While they could fly directly to this height, Team Pearl has another way.

Pokémon Climbing!
"Pokémon climbing requires the Rock Climb move. Even in Pokémon battles, this move is very powerful!"

Bei Shang proudly introduced it. (End of this chapter)
