Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Once everything was arranged, night quietly fell.

Suicune has never returned, and Celebi in the modern era remains missing...

Chapter 515 An Encounter in Time and Space, Interaction, Breaking Through the Barrier of the Heart!

Lake Life is tranquil and peaceful at night, with the breeze in the forest creating ripples on the water, as if playing a soothing lullaby.

Even in such a relaxing environment, Xiao Zhi was wide awake.

He sat leaning against a tree by the lake, pondering the events of the day.

Larvitar, Pocket, and Unown were sleeping next to him, and he was still thinking about how to solve Larvitar's problem;

The modern-day Celebi has mysteriously disappeared, and he can't figure out why;

And...when exactly should they make their move!

Blue's strategy wasn't very effective. Although Celebi was optimistic and simple-minded in the past, it never showed even the slightest inclination to be captured.

The reason it hung out with Ash and the others was simply because it hadn't had enough fun yet and didn't plan to go back immediately.

Although Xiao Lan played with it all day and fed it lots of delicious food, it wasn't enough to keep it tied to her side like that.

Moreover, she was somewhat distracted and didn't keep an eye on Celebi.

This probably has its own problems as well.

Ash sighed inwardly, realizing that with the sudden trouble involving Larvitar and Tyranitar on his side, Blue's attention must have been drawn away as well...

"Hmm?" Just as Ash was pondering this, he noticed the girl's bright eyes appear before him. "Blue, why aren't you asleep either?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to find you." Little Blue nestled her beautiful body against Little Ash's chest. "It's more comfortable like this~"

The two sat together, embracing each other, for a while, when Xiao Lan suddenly sighed softly.

"Ash, do you really think this is okay?"

"Whether it's possible or not is no longer important." Ash shook his head. "This is the closest you'll ever get to seeing your parents! Catching Celebi and using its power to travel back in time... This might certainly cause a series of problems, but if you really decide to do it, I will support you no matter what!"

"But what if..."

"It's not necessarily a matter of chance," Ash said before Blue could speak. "Maybe it'll just change the past, turning your aunt and uncle from being missing into sitting at home waiting for you. Other than that, it won't have any impact. The key now is how to catch Celebi."

To be honest, Xiao Zhi himself was also gambling.

The idea that time travel would cause a series of problems is just a theory from the past; there is no such chain reaction in the original Pokémon stories.

For example, in the special episode, Celebi could simply travel through time to revive Daigo, Senri, and others who had died, without causing any other impact.

There's also Hiro in the side stories, who also encountered Celebi and even traveled back in time to change some of history. When he returned, only the regrets were made up for, and no other problems arose...

The original work only portrays these positive aspects.

But Xiao Zhi was really unsure... what if it didn't work for him?

Moreover, how to capture Celebi is also a big problem.

These legendary Pokémon are very difficult to brainwash with ordinary Poké Balls. If they refuse to be captured, they will not listen to Blue even if they are forcibly captured.

"Yes, it actually doesn't want to be subdued." Little Blue realized this too, and her hesitation grew stronger.

Should one resort to any means necessary to deceive or even forcibly capture a legendary Pokémon just for the sake of a so-called opportunity?

Moreover, she wants Ash to blindly side with her... and involve so many of their companions?!

“Ash, let’s wait a little longer…” Blue seemed a little hesitant. “Celebi isn’t planning to leave yet, so I might still have a chance… Besides, we need to solve Larvitar’s problem, so let’s at least wait until after that.”

“Larakira…” Ash glanced at the three little creatures sleeping beside him. He knew Blue was changing the subject, but he was genuinely worried about Larakira’s condition.

Since being brought back during the day, it has only stayed with the small bag and the unknown totem, and has never spoken a word, nor has it been able to contact its mother at all…

"Peace~"

"What is that?!" Just as Ash looked at the three little ones, Unown seemed to yawn in its dream, and then suddenly burst out with a white light that enveloped the three Pokémon's bodies.

"What happened... um!"

Xiao Lan was startled when she saw this. She and Xiao Zhi rushed over to check, but they were also struck by the beam of light and lost in a white blur...

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself and Xiaozhi in a strange wilderness.

The scenery here is very monotonous, but the trees growing around are quite peculiar, with their crowns resembling gray-green eggshells.

Many broken eggshells were floating in the sky, and Ash was sitting on one of them.

"Ash..."

Boom!

As soon as Xiaoxia shouted, a huge Kangaskhan came rushing over from afar... Upon closer inspection, she realized it was actually Little Kangaskhan!

"Karuru?" Xiao Dai was also very puzzled, not understanding how Zhi Lan and the other two had become smaller than Pikachu.

"We've entered Larvitar's inner world." Ash quickly realized the current situation.

The unknown totem must have unintentionally released its power while asleep, dragging itself, Little Blue, and Little Bag into this strange space at the same time.

Judging from the appearance here, it should be the inner world of Yukira from the original work!

"Let's go find it." Now that he knew what had happened, Ash didn't dawdle any longer. He and Blue sat together in the pouch and were carried along quickly.

Along the way, they saw Pikachu's lightning bolt-shaped tail floating in the sky, as well as Tapu Fini's blue shell... In short, these were all Pokémon that Kira had seen since its birth.

In the end, they found a giant Pokémon egg in the center of the wilderness, glowing from all sides.

The egg was slightly taller than the enlarged small bag, and its overall color scheme was dark green, with a piece of pitch-black fragment stuck in it.

The cross-section of the fragment is as smooth as a mirror, and can even reflect a person's image.

Upon closer inspection, Ash and Pocket's images are vivid, while Blue's is grayish-white, and the image becomes 'stuttered' when you get close.

"This is Lark's perspective. It must have sealed its heart inside the egg. Let's go find it!" As he spoke, Ash reached out and grabbed the black fragment, only to be pulled into the egg by a powerful suction force.

"Ash!" "Karu!"

Seeing this, Xiao Lan and Xiao Dai quickly followed suit and chased after Xiao Zhi, crawling inside.

After another dizzying spin, they found themselves in a dark, empty space, and their body proportions returned to normal.

Before they could even look around for Tyranitar's whereabouts, black tentacles suddenly appeared and completely sealed off the space around them.

They were locked in a cage, near a dark mountain peak covered with dense branches formed from black tentacles...

"Help...I'm so scared..."

"It's Tyranitar?!" The intermittent voice came from the mountaintop, letting Blue know that Tyranitar was there!

"Let's go save it!" Ash conjured a wave missile and blasted through the cage binding his team!

The black tentacles scattered into fragments, which then transformed into a series of gray and fragmented images.

Hideous poachers wreak havoc on Mt. Silver; Tyranitar screams in agony after being severely injured; Pokémon eggs that were hastily laid but then forcibly stolen…

All of this caused Larvitar inside the egg immense pain until it was rescued by Ash in Leaf Town, at which point it gradually began to feel at ease.

It was constantly replenished with life force by the pouch, taken to Alola, finally hatched, and then boosted into a dominant force by the combined efforts of four Tapu... Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But when it finally met its mother today, that's what happened!

In the fragmented images, Tyranitar seems to have transformed into a terrifying monster, attacking Tyranitar without any mercy!

As for Kira, it could only cower and hide in place... just like it is now!

Ash and his friends blasted through all the tentacles and reached the mountaintop, where they discovered Larvitar sealed inside a piece of hard crystal.

"Yukira, wait a minute, I'll get you out of here right away!"

Ash punched the crystal with all his might, causing the mountain beneath his feet to tremble, but the crystal cage remained completely unaffected.

"So sturdy?" Xiao Zhi was taken aback.

In the original story, Ash Ketchum smashed this thing with a flurry of punches, so why couldn't he do it himself?

(This is a barrier to the heart, not something easily broken.) The management spirit offered a long-awaited hint: (You must try to connect with it, to convey your feelings to it, only then can you break down the barrier before you.)

(Heart-to-heart talk...I understand!) Xiao Zhi suddenly realized.

He took a deep breath and gently touched the crystal wall in front of him.

“Yakira, you did not accept your birth, did not want to come into this world, and even rejected my life force... But later you gradually accepted the world and accepted yourself as a living being, didn’t you?”

"Everything is getting better. You even met your mother today... She was just being controlled and didn't recognize you at the time. I know you're scared, but she's also suffering endless torment! Right now, what she needs most is you!"

"Lyra..." Lyra murmured from within the crystal wall, barely managing to lift its head to look at Ash.

"Crack!" Little Bag shouted sharply and slapped the crystal.

Why are you so timid and hesitant? You shrink into a ball just because you're a little frightened. Is that what it means to be a male?

You're quite a big guy, all you do is cry and whine all day long. Aren't you ashamed? I'm embarrassed for you!

"Yuki..." The little bag's scolding was absolutely devastating. Yuki didn't dare to breathe loudly and shrank his neck behind the crystal wall.

"Yukira, go out." Little Blue also gently persuaded, "You haven't experienced it yet, have you? A mother's embrace is really warm... If you lose it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

This is a spontaneous thought; to be honest, Little Blue is quite envious of Lark.
