Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 520 Clash of Ideas, Unexpected Changes in the Royal Field

Mega Fennekin's Fox-Cannon is powerful, but unfortunately, the energy stored in its Bond Scarf is depleted even faster in Mega Evolution, so it reverts back to its Fennekin form.

"Mmm~"

"After all, it's just a plan to make a final decision. There's no rush. We'll have plenty of time to Mega Evolve after it evolves into the Demonfire Red Fox."

Link retrieved his tools and cleaned up the traces of their camping trip.

Now that he has reunited with the elves, it's time to consider his next plan.

Arzetus did not appear before him during this period of the Green Age, indicating that resolving the anomalies caused by Wangluo and Giratina remains Mingyao's task.

With nothing to worry about, Link plans to spend some time traveling through this era, examining the lives of people and elves in various regions in the past.

After Mingyao resolves the incident, he will take him, Manchong, and Beishang to the oak forest in the Jodo region to ask Shirabi to take them back to the modern world.

"Now that I think about it, Celebi probably knew from the beginning that we would return to this era. The reason why Raicrown could not foresee my future is probably because I did not exist during that period."

Time-based abilities are such a hassle. Speaking of which, time in this world is far too arbitrary. He's already traveled through time several times.
"Fu~"

The fire fox wholeheartedly agreed, wondering if they might take a trip to the future someday.

"Then let's not go. Going to the future is quite sad."

Link shook his head and pulled out a map to plan his trip.

"Let me think, how about we take the Dark Tail Black Fish to the three great lakes first and see which one is its homeland?"

Although the memories of the river where the Dark Tail Fish was born are very vague, now that they have returned to this era, they should be able to easily identify the place where they once lived.

Upon hearing this, the Dark Tail Fish pondered for a long time before finally abandoning its initial idea.

Returning to its hometown... this obsession was once the driving force for the white-striped wild bass, which had been trapped in Beishang Township for a hundred years, to survive.

But as it multiplied, evolved into the Darktail Blackfish, was given the mysterious name of fish meat, and integrated into Link's life, his initial obsession has faded considerably.

"Wang!?"

The wind-breathing dog was startled. Could it be that the Dark Tail Gyrocopter was about to attain Buddhahood?!

"Probably not..."

The Dark Tail Fish sprayed a "water gun" at the dog, who promptly used "Shadow Clone" to avoid a fatal blow.

In any case, the Dark Tail Fish believes that it now has a new home and there is no need to dwell on the past.

Even if I were to revisit the place, I wouldn't stay there.

Link, Fire Fox, Tiger, Dog... their home is where they are.

The single sword sheath evokes a sense of joy; having a trainer like Link is truly delightful. Even just hanging it in the living room as a decoration wouldn't be bad.

The sense of security that comes from having a trainer who can outperform you is something only a true friend can understand.
"I'm quite popular with Ghost-type Pokémon."

Link simply abandoned his plan to visit the Three Great Lakes, as it was indeed easy to get into trouble in this day and age.

He quickly revised his itinerary, finalizing a plan to bypass the Greenery and avoid Bright and their movements. The trainer from the future thus embarked on a sightseeing tour with clearly more than six Pokémon.

Meanwhile, Mingyao and Manchong, two outsiders of unknown origin, also began to gain a foothold in the investigation team with the help of Xiaozhao, assisting Dr. Raben from the Galar region in exploring the lush land.

Regardless of the fact that Shi Yue, who sells taro cakes at the entrance of the Galaxy Team, always gives Man Chong a sense of similarity and familiarity.

The real Xi Cui is completely different from the Alpaca Story that Link remembers.

The ancient Sinnoh descendants that Mingyao and Manchong encountered during their mission were far more numerous than those in the game, and the human settlements established in the Seishi region during this era were by no means limited to the Chikei Village.

Throughout the various regions of Seishoku, especially near the Royal Field, there are remnants who worship the deity Shin'o Daizo.

These descendants of the ancient Shinonomiy who did not leave Shinonomiy with others when Shinonomiy split a thousand years ago still retain their original beliefs and continue to clash with outsiders who have long since integrated with other ethnic groups and cultures.

The attitudes of those who viewed elves as tools or monsters, and the belief in elves as a faith, caused a fundamental conflict and seriously hindered Team Galactic's plans to establish themselves in this land.

Team Kongo and Team Pearl, responsible for communicating with outsiders, attempt to mediate, while the Ginkgo Merchant Guild acquires knowledge and technology from other regions through trade with Team Galaxy.

Just as the private struggle between the two sides was intensifying, the human who fell from the sky discovered the source of the conflict because he was not on either side and had a far-sighted perspective.

As descendants of the ancient Shin'o people, Meiyo and Manchō, descendants of outsiders, realized that they should help each other understand each other and connect with ideas of a more distant future.

Spirits can be more than just tools, monsters, materials, food, companions, faith, or gods; they can also be family members, friends, and partners, beings with intelligence and emotions just like humans.

The two used their investigation for Team Galactic to come into contact with the Green People and showed them their lifestyle from the future.

However, the good times didn't last long. A dark red lightning strike on the royal field caused an anomaly, driving the praying mantis, which the locals worshipped, into a frenzy.

The same thing happened in various parts of Washgreen, causing Link a lot of trouble as he traveled as he pleased.

Untrusted, Mingyao and Manchong are tasked with quelling the rage of the Forest King, Mantis.

When the two arrived, they found that the latter had gone mad due to a mysterious power and could not hear any sounds from the outside world.

Perhaps the only solution is to kill them... but killing the locals' beliefs would inevitably lead to irreconcilable conflict.

The two initially thought so, but they discovered that the ancient Sinnoh people even had an ancient custom of killing spirits and using their materials as ornaments in hopes of gaining protection and power...

As modern people, it's really hard to understand the ancient people's worship and belief in nature and spirits.

However, Mingyao and Manchong could not accept this approach and eventually came up with a plan to pacify the raging king by using a "treasure to suppress the evil spirits".

Thanks to the incredible power hidden in the Arceus Encyclopedia, Mingyao actually managed to quell the madness of the Scizor using a simple food item called the Treasure.

Although this move failed to gain the trust of the Galactic Team, it made them famous within the Green People's camp.

On the other hand, the legend of Sword Saint Link defeating a berserk elf alone during his travels continues to circulate...

"I already said it wasn't me, it was Zhenbao's doing!"

A month later, when Link, Manch, and Mingyao reunited at their base in Zhuqing Village, they brought new intelligence—

The distortion of spacetime in this era began to intensify, and the culprit behind the anomaly has been identified as a legendary elf who exerted its power when they were delaying Arceus.
