He knows Pokémon better than me.

Sure enough, the day after Xiao Guang successfully advanced to the Starry Sky level, a woman with a noble appearance and wearing a black dress came to Zhuqing Village and knocked on Xiao Guang's house.

"Miss Wu Si, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, Hikari exclaimed with delight, and Ash, who was organizing his spoils inside the house, also rushed out.

The two of them came to the world of Washing Green for the same reason: because of the woman before them.
However, Hikari arrived a week earlier than Satoshi.

It had been almost two months since I last saw her, and the noblewoman in front of me seemed to have changed no at all. She was exactly the future version of Miss Zhulan.

After entering the house, Wu Si first apologized to the two of them.

"I'm sorry to have suddenly dragged you two into this. In short, Wang Luo's plan did not work, and we are grateful for your help."

Ash and Dawn exchanged a glance; judging from the other's tone, it seemed they had known about Wangluo's actions all along.

However, the two do indeed look and have similar temperaments.

"Boga~"

Upon entering the living room, Emperor Naboo proactively offered Wu Si a cup of tea, a gesture completely unrelated to his proud and arrogant demeanor.

Now that the mission was complete, Wu Si didn't hide anything any longer and slowly recounted the whole story:

"To be honest, Wang Luo is actually a descendant of my clan."

Both of them belong to the people of the gods, which is what Wangluo refers to as pure-blooded, true Shin'on people.

Don't let her appearance fool you; she looks like a woman in her thirties or forties.

In reality, she is already an elder of the Wangluo Grandma level.

Xiao Zhi and his companion looked at each other, wondering if this woman could stay young forever.

"I am powerless to stop Wang Luo's actions, nor do I want the Xicui world to be destroyed, so I can only ask the two of you for help."

"Of course, this is not just my idea."

Wu Si gave a questioning smile, then took out a grayish-white stone slab from his pocket. The surface was engraved with cracks, and a strange cross-shaped pattern was outlined in the middle.

"It's this stone slab!"

Ash and his companion said in unison that it was this very stone slab that brought them into this world.

They instinctively turned around to pick up their bags and suitcases.

Friends from the Xicui area, such as Xingyue, Dr. Laben, and Yabai, have basically said goodbye and can leave at any time.

"No, there's also Mr. Kitashō! Miss Wusi, could you wait for me a little longer!"

Xiao Zhi quickly raised his hand to interrupt Wu Si's action of opening the door.

However, Wu Si smiled and did not rush to open the portal.

"Don't rush, you can go back anytime. But before you go back, there is one more thing."

Wu Si turned his gaze to Xiao Guang.

After all, this was actually Dawn's mission, and Ash was dragged into it by her.

According to her estimate, if Xiaoguang were alone, it would probably take another two or three months; the progress wouldn't be that fast.

Moreover, there is the risk of failure.

Just to be on the safe side, she brought Xiao Zhi along, and as a result, they speedrunned the game in less than two months.

It seems a strange entity was accidentally dragged in.

The "upgrade" task she had specially prepared for Xiaoguang suddenly became awkward.

"To be honest, besides the missions Team Galactic has assigned you, I also have missions to assign here."

"That is, to collect all kinds of attribute stone tablets scattered in the Xicui area."

The two looked at each other and immediately remembered.

During the modern Sinnoh era, although they did not actively collect them, they had already collected quite a few, but not all eighteen attributes.

"To be honest, since the opponent is Wangluo who can use Giratina, it's impossible for a normal trainer to defeat him. We have to rely on the power of the eighteen type plates." As he said this, Wusi glanced at Pikachu, and his usually dignified and composed face couldn't hold back anymore.

Who knew that a single Pikachu could defeat Giratina!

She calmed herself down slightly, looked at Xiaoguang, and asked solemnly:

"So, do you still want to accept this mission and collect the eighteen types of stone tablets?"

"This will not be a short process; it will probably take several weeks or a month."

"Of course—you can also choose to abandon the mission and return directly to the modern world."

Xiao Guang frowned, feeling that the progress was too fast, causing the previously important tasks to suddenly become insignificant.

However, eighteen stone tablets are still quite unique and rare. Spending an extra month to exchange for eighteen stone tablets doesn't seem like a bad deal.

"Wait a minute, let me ask if we can take this stone slab with us first."

Ash suddenly interrupted.

After all, they had already collected several stone slabs in modern times.

Could it be that there are actually two sets of stone slabs?

However, Wu Si shook his head:
"I'm sorry, we can't take them away. These stone slabs are still useful to the Xicui area; the purpose of collecting them is more of a test."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang's interest immediately waned.

However, I haven't finished speaking yet:
"But when you have collected all eighteen stone tablets, and blow the Divine Flute at Mount Tianguan, you will see the energy avatar of the Divine Lord."

"You can challenge him, and in the process, both you and your Pokémon will improve your strength, which will be the key to defeating Wangluo."

This is the real test!

"That's how it's supposed to be, following the original route."

Wu Si touched his cheek, and couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.

"An avatar of the Great Sage Sinnoh?!"

Xiao Guang roused herself, thinking that she was a member of the Divine Harmony Clan, and that there was only one Divine Lord she spoke of.

—Arzeus, the creator god!
"An energy clone of Arceus?"

Ash blinked, thinking it looked something like what he'd seen in the Valley of Creation in the Kalos region.

After sparring with him for a while, the Pokémon did indeed improve significantly.
But, it seems like that's all there is to it?

Xiao Guang was caught in a dilemma.

One month, in exchange for the opportunity to practice with Arceus's clone.
Wu Si waited quietly by the side for Xiao Guang's choice.

After hesitating for a long time, she took a deep breath and made her choice:

"No, I think I'll give up."

If she had been given the task of collecting stone tablets two months prior, she would have readily agreed.

But now that the sky is already full of stars, it will still take a month to collect the stone slabs. The key point is that the stone slabs cannot be taken with you!
In the end, what we saw was only an avatar of Arceus, not the real Arceus.

She's not one of the gods; she has no faith in the Divine Lord or anything like that.

"Uh, why don't I follow Ash more? According to Ash's words, one day I might even be able to see Arceus directly!"

Xiao Guang thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Wu Si did not say anything more.

However, as the messenger of the Great Lord of Sinnoh, Arceus's test requires someone to be found to complete it.

If Xiao Guang doesn't take on a task, someone else will.

All that person needs is a trainer who possesses the "Divine Flute" and is recognized by the kings of various regions! (End of Chapter)
