Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 499 The Biggest and Most Heinous Incident in the History of Baiyang Town

As expected of Chris, she easily found something that Link and the Doctor had been searching for for ages without success!
If this grass-green orb is similar in nature to the other two, it may have the effect of allowing Rayquaza to Mega Evolve without consuming a Rainbow Meteorite.

Dr. Oki immediately suggested that Chris take the gem to the research institute for component analysis, but Chris, who was focused on studying the Ruins of Aluf, was temporarily unable to leave and asked Hibiki, who was preparing for the National Games, to take care of the task.

Since he was going to be traveling between Kanto and Johto anyway, he figured he might as well grab the gym badges and the reward TMs from both places.

With the matter of the green orb temporarily settled, Link put down the Pokédex and turned his attention back to the Pokémon Center.

Joy, who temporarily borrowed the Crescent Wing from the champion, has used its power to awaken Max and Gallade from their eternal slumber.

The latter, who had just woken up, shouted loudly, almost startling the other patients resting in the ward.

But Manch quickly realized that he wasn't battling Darkrai, but was in a hospital room at the Pokémon Center.

"you're awake?"

Link, who had heard the news from Joey, came over to visit: "Congratulations, you're a girl now."

"what!?"

It took Manchong a while to recover from his even greater astonishment before he learned about Darkrai and the urban legends.

Having already been attacked, he was convinced that Darkrai was responsible.

Having said that…

"Kobayashi, I have a vague feeling that Darkrai may not have any ill intentions."

Despite being seen as an ominous being that brings nightmares, during the battle, Manch didn't think it had any intention of harming him.

Upon hearing this, Link pondered, "What does Gallade think?"

Even after evolving, Gallade retains the ability to sense emotions from its Ralts form, and it even becomes more sensitive to them.

Gallade in the next bed pondered for a moment and concluded that the trainer's intuition was entirely correct. Darkrai did not have any intention of harming anyone; on the contrary, it wanted to... help others?
"Fu~"

So the fox deduced the truth based on the current situation—

Darkrai sensed that danger was about to befall Ashville, so he caused nightmares to drive away both humans and elves.

However, since no one cared, he might have even been punched by Ash, so starting today, he will use a more direct approach to drive away the residents here.

Darkrai was determined to go to such lengths, believing that the events about to unfold in Aspen Town were likely to be an extremely dangerous disaster.

"If that's the case, it's terrible!" Manchong quickly got out of bed. "We have to stop it and help it!"

"But I don't have any more Crescent Feathers..."

Just then, Miss Joey (from White Poplar Town) returned the Crescent Feather to him.

Rather than leaving the feather at the Pokémon Center, it's more important to find Darkrai and communicate with him as soon as possible.

Link then lent the feather to Manch: "Go ahead, I still need to contact the research institute and Ash at the center. If anything happens, I'll call your navigator."

Full Charge decisively took the feather and set off again with Gallade, who had finished resting.

Meanwhile, Link and the Yamanashi Research Institute are on guard against the disruption of spacetime to prevent the worst-case scenario...

Time flew by and it was noon.

In just one morning, people and Pokémon were brought to the Pokémon Center one after another, trapped in nightmares from which they could not wake up. Some of these nightmares were caused by Darkrai in the latter half of last night.

Some of these incidents are caused by the animal playing hide-and-seek with certain people.

According to survivors, it attacked while saying things like "get out" and "get out of here," which was clearly pointed but also puzzling.

Both the Evil Phantom and the Fire Fox felt that Darkrai seemed to be not very good at communicating; if it were them, they would have been able to make humans understand their meaning long ago.

"The Sinnoh people don't really trust Darkrai, just like the Hoenn people see Absol as a calamity. But it would be better to explain the reason to someone they trust in a dream and then wake them up."

Link also felt this method was rather inefficient, but Darkrai, with his extraordinary perception, probably wouldn't have time to think about it...

He looked out the window at the sky.

It was almost noon in summer, and the atmosphere had neither convection nor much moisture, yet the sky was already covered with dark clouds, so dark it looked like a downpour was about to begin.

Despite what it appears to be, there are no real dark clouds in the sky.

At this moment, the entire town of Baiyang is enveloped in a giant hemisphere, and the temporal and spatial rift makes the outside world "non-existent" to this place.

As of now, it is still possible to enter and exit through the perimeter, but according to the assessment of the Yamanashi Research Institute, in another hour, Baiyang Town will be completely trapped in an alternate reality, and the signal and network will be cut off.

Fortunately, the HOME system developed by Oki allows for communication even in the event of spacetime disruption.

Link's task is to wait with Ash until the spacetime distortion occurs, then break through it from the inside to minimize casualties.

[Yamanashi: Hmm, this is bad! This anomaly is too severe. It's likely that the biggest and most serious spacetime distortion to date will erupt in Baiyang Town!]

[Ooki: Kobayashi, is Taleborg with you? Is it possible to call Mew along too?]

Link: It's hard to say what the future holds. I'll have Talebagos come over here later.

[Ah Xun: I dare not interrupt.jpg]

[Minghui: Fine! .jpg]

As they were talking, Link brought the turtle out of the dream realm.

"Bagogo?"

Talebagos blinked. It had just been practicing "Taicrystal Substitute" in the Treasure Cafe, so why was it suddenly back?

"What's about to happen is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You might even have the chance to find an elf and find out where your kind are and what happened to your clan back then?"

Turtle tilted its head. The trainer was using the riddle again. This place must be about to explode. I guess I'll have to step in and calm the chaos again.

"Hey!"

If there's really no way to deal with the trainer, just leave this little thing to it!
Link couldn't help but chuckle. After pondering for a moment, he specifically tagged Professor Oak in the group chat.

[Link: @Oak, Professor, you can still make it to Ashford if you fly over at full speed with Dragonite. This is the biggest and most serious time distortion we've ever seen. Want to come and take a look?]

[Oki: That's true. I haven't really explored dungeons much before. Studying them within a spacetime distortion would be a novel experience. I'll try to get there quickly.]

[Yamanashi: Hmm, I'd like to go too, but... never mind. But Kozo has already set off on the research institute's Starhawk. Hopefully, this time traveler can play some role or take the opportunity to return to her own time.]
