Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 587 Thoughts traveling through time and space
On June 202, 6 of the Alliance Calendar, Dream and Baby Bear destroyed the guardian stone pillar in Aindoak.

As the guardian stone pillars collapsed, the barrier surrounding Aindoak was also lifted.

The three Pokémon rode on Dragonite, the deliveryman sent by Naoki to deliver Pofen, and rushed from the Unova region to Naoki Ranch.

As soon as Victini landed, it immediately looked pitifully at Naoki, at the human who said he could help it see the old king again.

"Nini?!"

"Don't be anxious, I know you really want to meet him, but before you start, there is something I need to tell you first," Naoki said.

"Nini?"

Victini looked over with tearful eyes.

Naoki took out the remaining tomato scrambled eggs and said to Victini:
"This dish can help you realize your wish, but I can't guarantee the effect. It may only allow you to meet the old king in your dream, or it may bring the old king back to you. The specific effect depends on you."

"The stronger your wish, the better the effect will be." Naoki said seriously.

He hoped that Victini would let the food brew for a while before eating it.

Hearing this, Victini looked at the food in front of him and immediately fell into memories.

A wish? It wanted to see the old king again, wanted to be with him forever, and didn't want to see him lose his life due to overconsumption...

"Victini..." Qishu, who was standing by, had already heard Naoki tell the story of this Pokémon, and a trace of pity and heartache arose in her heart.

Naoki gently held her hand and silently comforted her that everything was fine.

Victini recalled the past, the battle between the black dragon and the white dragon, the destruction of the dragon vein, and the old king borrowed its power to suppress the dragon vein.

After that, the old king exhausted his vitality and left it.

The once prosperous castle is now deserted, with only the one Pokémon left standing there, having spent more than a thousand springs, summers, autumns and winters there.

No, I don't want that!

Tears welled up in Victini's eyes, and he almost shouted, "Nini——!"

I want to see him and stop everything that happened in the past!
The next second, a dazzling light burst out from Victini's body, and infinite energy surged out from it.

Victini's eyes became extremely determined. It picked up the small portion of tomato scrambled eggs and ate it firmly.

Instantly, Victini's dazzling light filled the entire room.

Naoki and the other Pokémon subconsciously covered their eyes.

Colorful light like a DNA spiral rapidly poured out from Victini, and everything around him changed drastically.

It was unknown how long it had passed before the light on Victini's body gradually disappeared, and the originally quiet surroundings were suddenly filled with a bustling sound.

Naoki suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked to find that they had left the ranch and came to a completely unfamiliar place without knowing when!

The buildings here are full of medieval style, the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and the pedestrians around are dressed in classical clothes, women in simple dresses, and men in robes made of coarse linen.

These people covered their mouths and looked in shock at the strangers who suddenly appeared on the street.

"Where...is this place?" Qi Shu looked around and asked blankly.

Naoki immediately noticed the huge Earth Sword Castle standing on the distant mountain range. He remained calm and said slowly:
"I'm afraid we have come to the past of Aindoak..."

Is this Victini's wish?
In an instant, Naoki understood what was going on.

Victini's longing for the old king transcends time and space. The infinite energy in its body resonates with the wish dish, causing the effect of the dish to be infinitely magnified, thus taking them back to the past!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Victini quickly noticed the familiar castle in the distance.

An expression of disbelief instantly appeared in its eyes, tears flashed in its eyes, and a voice trembling with excitement came out of its mouth: "Nini!"

Obviously, Victini has recognized this place. This is a place it will never forget!
Looking at the crowds gathering around him, Naoki said to Menghuan: "Menghuan, take us away from here first!"

"miu!"

Instant teleportation was activated, and the figures of several people disappeared from their original places in an instant, and appeared on another uninhabited hilltop.

Victini looked towards the castle in the distance excitedly, and turned back to Naoki, Mew and the others and said, "Nini!"

It's back! It's back in time! The old king is in that castle now!

Victini couldn't wait to go over and take a look at his trainer.

"Then go!" Naoki said to Victini with a smile.

Victini immediately wanted to fly away, but it suddenly turned around and looked at the Pokémon and humans who helped it.

"Nini!" Let's go together!

"miu!"

"One!"

Mew and Baby Bear readily agreed. Since they decided to help Victini, they would help him to the end and go back with Victini!
The two Pokémon turned to look at Naoki and the other Pokémon, Naoki and Kiyoshi looked at each other before they turned their gaze towards Gulerton.

A minute later, Gulden flew to the Earth Sword Castle carrying Naoki and Qishu.

Victini was flying in front, spinning around excitedly, with Mew and Baby Bear smiling beside it.

Looking at that scene, Qi Shu felt a little worried.

"If Victini went back to the past, would there be two Victinis existing at the same time?" she asked.

Naoki nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

But the problem is that he can't be sure whether the battle between the black and white dragons has happened at the current time.

Qishu is already pregnant with a baby, and Naoki doesn't want her to take the risk with him.

But Qi Shu had seen through his thoughts: "It's okay, now that we're here, the baby and I will hide behind you immediately if there's any danger!"

Naoki was helpless. Well, since that was the case, let them go and take a look together!

Earthsword Castle is located on the top of a hill just above the town.

Soon, the group arrived at the bottom of the castle.

Strangely, it was completely silent here, without a single guard.

Shouldn't it be? Logically speaking, the guards of a castle like this should be very strict!

Naoki looked at Victini, who didn't seem to be paying attention to this.

Its attention is now entirely focused on the trainer who is about to meet it.

The first floor of the Sword of Earth is the royal hall. There is still no guard here, and it is empty all around. The red carpet leading to the throne is covered with dust, and the golden sunlight shines in through the window, illuminating the dust.

At the end of this long red carpet stands a majestic throne.

Sitting on the throne was an old man wearing a crown, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and full of the aura of decay.

He supported his head with his hands, sitting quietly on the throne with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

When Victini saw that person, his eyes lit up.

"Nini!" It shouted excitedly. The old man was awakened, opened his cloudy eyes, and looked at the sudden visitors with surprise.

However, the next second, Victini's voice stopped abruptly, because it suddenly saw a Victini beside the old man, and that was it in the past!
“Nini…” Victini stood there at a loss for a moment.

Mew and Baby Bear also saw the Victini, and they didn't know what to do.

"Who are you?" The old king looked at the man and woman in strange clothes and asked, "Why are you here?"

But as he was speaking, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the Victini. The old king suddenly had a familiar feeling and he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

Naoki and Qishu looked at each other, and Naoki answered, "We are from the future."

"The future?" The old king looked at the man who spoke with his cloudy eyes.

"A thousand years in the future, at that time, the people of the earth lost their ties with the earth and scattered all over the world. The two princes chosen by the white dragon and the black dragon launched a brutal war against each other, causing the dragon veins to get out of control. In order to suppress the dragon veins, you borrowed Victini's power."

"But you lost your life due to over-consumption, leaving only Victini in the castle. It has been nearly a thousand years now. Victini made a wish to see you, so we came here."

Victini...

Hearing this, the old king was stunned.

He looked at Victini beside him, then at the Victini opposite him.

No wonder… no wonder he felt so familiar!

But... when the old king heard what the man said about the future, he couldn't help but frown.

The old king was old, and the two new kings began to fight for the throne, which was not surprising to the old king.

But, could his two sons actually make such a big mistake?

As their father, the old king was a little bit unconvinced. After all, he had watched them grow up since they were young.

Those two kids are so brave and kind...

"Victini," the old king called out.

Victini's eyes were already filled with tears. Now hearing the trainer's call, it could no longer hold back and flew over while crying.

Seeing Victini's appearance, the old king reached out and touched its head: "You must have been lonely all these years, right?"

"Nini!" Victini burst into tears.

The Victini of the past tilted his head, looking at the scene in confusion.

After a long time, the old king sighed slowly, and he looked at the two people below with his old and turbid eyes.

"Because Victini, I am willing to believe you. Just as you said, my two sons started a war because of their different ideas... and the guards in the castle all chose a new king. Although I want to stop all this, I am too old and have no way to stop them." The old king said slowly.

Naoki remained silent because he didn't know what to say.

So Reshiram and Zekrom have already chosen two princes?

So where is Kyurem now?

Seeing that they were silent, the old king asked, "What are your names?"

"My name is Naoki," Naoki introduced, "and this is my wife, Qishu."

"Thank you very much for helping Victini. You two can stay in the castle today. I will send someone to entertain you two well." said the old king.

"Thank you very much." Naoki said.

They were brought to the past Aindoak because of Victini's wish, and have not yet found a way to go back, so they can only agree temporarily.

The old king called an old woman, and under the guidance of the old woman, the two came to a luxuriously decorated room.

Once the man left, Qi Shu asked worriedly, "How are we going to get back to the ranch?"

Naoki spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. The only way now is to go to the Sinnoh region to find the God of Time, Dialga, and let it send us back to the future."

Qi Shu: "...But if we leave for too long, everyone at the ranch will get worried."

Naoki also had a headache about this.

He looked at Gulden.

The man and the Pokémon stared at each other.

"Ah, gash!" It didn't know how to go back!
However, Gulton was certain that Naoki successfully returned to the ranch in the end.

"It's okay. It won't be a big deal in the short term. The Ai Guanshi brothers and sisters will take care of everything." Naoki comforted.

Since Victini's wish is to go back in time to meet the old king, it stands to reason that they will automatically return to the future after their wish is fulfilled.

But he hasn't returned yet. Could it be that Victini's real wish is not to see the old king?
What would that be?

Naoki carefully recalled the contents of the movie. If he remembered correctly, the old king lost his life in front of Victini after suppressing the dragon vein.

That scene must have been a severe shock to Victini.

Could it be that Victini's true wish is to prevent the old king from dying?
"One thing..."

"miu..."

Dream and Baby Bear had worried expressions on their faces.

I don't know how Victini is doing now.

They just saw another Victini. That Victini should be the Victini from the past, right?
Can the two of them coexist peacefully?
A group of Pokémon were worried.

Qishu, on the other hand, took the idea of ​​making the best of things as they came, since there was no point in getting anxious.

She stood in front of the castle window with great interest, looking at the bustling ancient town in the distance, and then took Naoki's arm and said:
"It's not easy to come to this place, let's go there and take a look!"

Naoki didn't care. He looked at Gulerton, Dream, and Baby Bear and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Gu Leton nodded happily: "Ah gah!"

Menghuan and Baby Bear didn't know what to do now, so they decided to accompany the two of them out to play.

So, the two of them prepared to slip downstairs with their Pokémon, but soon Naoki thought that the clothes they were wearing were too conspicuous and they would definitely attract people's attention as soon as they went out.

After a little thought, the two found the old woman.

After explaining her purpose to the other party, the old woman found two sets of local clothes for them, but when she looked at Gulden, there was a look of fear in her eyes.

Naoki noticed this scene and was not surprised because such things would happen from time to time even in the future, but Gulden's appearance was too ferocious.

After they changed their clothes, they thanked the old woman, and in her surprised gaze, they took Gulton, Menghuan and Baby Bear out the door.

Only the old woman was left standing there blankly.

That beast master was actually able to tame such a terrifying beast!

Having lived in the royal city for so many years, the old woman had never seen such a powerful beastmaster.
