Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 484 Missing out once will lead to a lifetime of regret
The Fiery Fox's idea can only be described as fanciful, but Link has actually encountered some trainers who can make Pokémon Substitutes use moves, and it can even do it to some extent itself.

However, Fire Fox is pursuing a more precise, efficient, and reliable "stand-in" that can be used and relied upon in high-intensity battles.

This is undoubtedly a paradox.

An individual's energy is limited; the more energy allocated to the "substitute," the less energy is left for oneself.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to entrust tasks that do not require much energy to "stand-ins," such as "magic tricks," "wishes," and "space manipulation."

But what Fire Fox wants is a dungeon with real combat power, where they can cooperate and fight in high-level matches—when their opponents are stronger than themselves.

In fact, this only makes the already weak Fire Fox easier to defeat.

That's why it came here to patiently reflect and think about how this technology should be implemented... Even if it eventually finds that it's impossible, at least it can gain a deeper understanding of its own moves.

Link was unusually unable to help with the development of the new technology, so he had to take care of himself to ensure that Fire Fox had no worries.

That afternoon, he took his old teammates—Dolphin, Tiger, Dog, Snorlax, Fishmonkey, Dragonite, and Grimmsnarl—to the Sinnoh region...

……

Masago Town, the former starting beach.

Although it was only Link's second time visiting the town, the moist and refreshing sea breeze still stirred up memories.

Because prior arrangements had been made, the institute's assistant came to meet him outside the town and took him to the institute.

"Senior Kobayashi, I am Dr. Mingyao, your assistant. We met once on the phone before."

Back then, Link was still searching for a homeland for the newly evolved Darktail Fish... and he's still searching now.

However, to everyone's surprise, three years have passed and Mingyao is still assisting the doctor's research at the research institute.

He couldn't help but inquire about the other person's thoughts: "Haven't you tried to become a trainer?"

Mingyao shook his head. His ambition was to become a researcher like his father, which was why he came to Dr. Yamanashi's place to help and learn in his spare time.

"I missed it before for various reasons, but Professor Yamanashi said he brought several special Pokédex entries with him when he returned to Sinnoh this time, so I became a new trainer and went out to investigate the spacetime distortion."

The new encyclopedia also integrates the function of analyzing spacetime distortion.

"Are you going to do something so dangerous right away? Anything is possible in spacetime distortion. Maybe it will warp spacetime and take you back to the past, Sinnoh?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyao's eyes were filled with anticipation, seemingly unaware that it would cause any trouble.

If he could return to the past of Sinnoh, he would definitely investigate all the lost evolutionary forms in the ancient texts and then write books to leave them for the people of this era.

not to mention--

"Don't worry, Kobayashi-senpai. Although I'm not a trainer yet, I'm already very good at battles."

"Whether it's the spirits of the research institute or Miss Zhulan's spirits, I have studied and understood them in detail, and I have even commanded some of them!"

Link felt much more at ease.

Judging from Mingyao's tone, there seemed to be a noticeable fluctuation when he mentioned Zhulan.

"Could it be that you're also a fan of Zhu Lan?" Ming Yao was taken aback, then nodded. Who wouldn't like Zhu Lan, who is beautiful, knowledgeable, and strong in battle?
"Could it be that you, Kobayashi-senpai, are also a fan of Ms. Takeran?"

Link nodded: "Of course, she helped me a lot when I first embarked on my journey. Even the active Arcanine in my team was a gift from Cynthia."

Now, Wang Jiang is a key member of the team. Even when playing against Zhu Lan in Langrisser, he can demonstrate excellent rotation ability, often making the opponent suffer.

Mingyao then learned the more detailed relationship between the two champions: they were actually a mentor and a challenger!
He was about to inquire further when he noticed that Link seemed to be deep in thought.

Link pondered for a long time before pulling out his navigator: "I have some exclusive perks for the Champion Bamboo Orchid fan club. Do you want them?"

Upon hearing this, Egui Peng, who was standing to the side, fell silent.

If he remembers correctly...

"Of course! Uh, but I don't have a GPS, only a Pokémon watch."

This watch does not have the function of transmitting pictures.

"Pity."

Link immediately wore an expression of immense regret, making one wonder if they had missed out and would regret it for the rest of their lives: "I'll send it to you when you have the Pokédex."

“Boni…”

Cynthia will probably join the group around then, so trainers should be careful not to get caught up in the Dreamland and have to fight in simulation battles.

Mingyao seemed to realize something, vaguely understanding that he had missed something important.

Before long, the two arrived at the research institute.

Dr. Yamanashi's research institute is relatively quiet, as most of his assistants have been sent out to various places to investigate the evolution of Pokémon.

When they arrived, there were only three people in the research institute.

Champion Zhulan, who occasionally serves as a doctoral assistant; Mingyao's mother; and Xiaoguang's father...

Not long ago, a girl named Hikari was also conducting research here, but now she has embarked on an adventure with a trainer from Kanto.

"Xiaolin, long time no see. Any new developments on your end?"

Cynthia, who arrived early, was already analyzing the spacetime distortion using data uploaded by the Pokédex holder. Having some knowledge of Link's request for the adventure team to investigate the school, she immediately inquired about the situation, only to receive a result of "some guesses but no certainty".

Seeing that the other party wasn't making much progress either, Zhu Lan sighed helplessly.

The spacetime distortion in Sinnoh is currently intensifying, and if this continues, the League will soon be unable to keep it a secret.

At that time, an irreparable disaster may break out, and it is even possible that a city will suddenly fall into a spacetime distortion, and citizens will be attacked by ferocious elves that appear out of nowhere as soon as they step out of their homes.

To be honest, the league is short-handed right now, and the long-established Galactic Team has suddenly started some kind of operation. If this continues, the overwhelmed Lancelot is even considering resigning and giving up the championship!
Link was speechless: "Why are you thinking about resigning every day... I actually have the only certain information here: the real core of this distortion is not in Tianguan Mountain, so there is no need to continue sending people to monitor it."

"Alternatively, if all else fails, trainers with pure hearts, strong wills, and extensive knowledge can travel to the three lakes to seek the wisdom of the lake spirits."

"If everything becomes irreversible in the end, there's still the option of using their power to reshape the chaotic time and space..."
