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

"Everyone, everything's alright now." Composing himself, Ash signaled to everyone that they didn't need to be nervous anymore.

Whether it was Cynthia, Dawn, or Mako and Souji, no one asked any questions; they simply silently recalled their Pokémon.

Xiao Zhi felt very gratified; at this moment, this silence was the greatest affirmation for him.

The Sinnoh Elite Four gradually regained their senses. Their consciousness had been manipulated by Memredo, and they had no idea what had happened.

Ash didn't want to explain further and directly activated the ring leading to Lily of the Valley, intending to send them and Red Sun away.

However, Chi Ri remained clear-headed. Having narrowly escaped death, his expression became even more gloomy.

"Why did you save me? Didn't you scoff at my ideals?" Chi Ri asked in a low, hoarse voice.

“My intervention to save you has nothing to do with your ideals, but only because you don’t deserve to die. Moreover, Amrido’s efforts to kill you have implicated other innocent people.”

"Not deserving of death?" Akari seemed surprised by Ash's response. "A villain like me, who plans to destroy the world, do you think I shouldn't die...?"

"Stop being so self-righteous!" Ash suddenly interrupted sharply. "Red Sun, have you even considered why you were captured in the first place?"

Chi Ri fell silent... but it was clear that he hadn't really thought about this question.

"You illegally formed Team Galactic, privately manufactured and smuggled weapons, stole important artifacts from Veilstone City and Eternia City, and attempted to persecute legendary Pokémon through poaching; and your subordinate, Pluton, is suspected of illegally conducting live experiments on Pokémon... Do I need to spell out these crimes in more detail?"

"Just... because of these?" Akari was clearly a little confused.

Xiao Zhi's reasoning was far too down-to-earth compared to his predictions...

"I shouldn't have wasted my breath on you... Go to jail already!" Ash said without waiting for a reply, throwing Saturn and the Sinnoh Elite Four into the ring.

What I just said was truly like casting pearls before swine.

On the one hand, they find fault with everything in the world, finding fault with everything and constantly talking about destruction and creation.

In the end, they couldn't even do the most basic things like obeying the law, and they didn't even have the awareness to do so.

Chi Ri, this guy who keeps his mind closed off, is a stubborn and contradictory person.

"In the end, it seems he still couldn't understand," Cynthia remarked with a sigh.

"It doesn't matter... Many people can't understand it, and the same goes for those legendary Pokémon. One more won't make a difference." Ash waved his hand dismissively.

"But I can understand."

“Miss Cynthia…” Ash paused for a moment, then looked up and saw the stunningly beautiful female champion with a serious expression.

“All life encounters other life, and something is created… These are the words I read in the inscription on the ruins,” Cynthia explained with a smile. “Therefore, I can understand and believe that Ash chose to maintain the world's order and protect all life for those beautiful things!”

"Heh, I've really met a kindred spirit." Xiao Zhi smiled with relief and said half-jokingly, "If I wasn't afraid of misunderstandings, I would have liked to give you a hug."

"It's okay to hug you, besides, we've hugged before, come on~" Cynthia giggled and opened her arms, causing Ash to back away.

During this process, his expression gradually became serious.

"Miss Cynthia, it's so wonderful to meet you."

Chapter 728 A Conspiracy That Failed Before It Even Began

In the inverted world, filled with fragmented scenes, the three lake gods who had just been rescued did not show any gratitude, but were instead full of vigilance.

It all started with the man who appeared alongside Giratina.

"Em!" It was Emrido who was the first to question it, wanting to know why this guy had appeared.

Is he colluding with Giratina, perhaps intending to trigger a spacetime rift again, just like a century ago?!

"God of Emotions, please calm down." Wang Luo maintained his sinister smile. "Can't you sense the power within me...? I am now the most trusted servant of the Great Lord of Divine Omen."

Emrido grimaced unhappily. These days, it seems anyone can become a servant of the gods.

This guy in front of me actually has the approval of the Sinnoh Grandmaster and can stay young forever—a privilege even the young heroines of the past didn't have…

"I should be the one who's unhappy now!" Wang Luo's tone suddenly turned sharp. "God of Emotions, you really didn't think things through this time, impulsively summoning the other two as well! If it weren't for my timely rescue, the three of you would probably have been sealed away!"

"Em~" Emrido scoffed at this explanation.

In its eyes, Ash was a filthy and promiscuous servant who had gathered a few low-level legendary and mythical beasts and colluded with the remnants of the giants, and then fantasized about rebelling against his superiors.

To deal with a guy like that, as long as the three of us join forces, we're sure to...

"Emrido, the three of you are far too slow on the uptake!" Wang Luo, losing his patience, began to address the three lake gods by their names. "That blasphemer has broken free of the red chains, and the Grand Master of Sinnoh can no longer remotely collect his power; moreover, besides what you have seen, he has also gathered a group of powerful accomplices!"

"This includes Lugia, which guided him to obtain the power of Poseidon; Ho-Oh, which regained the power of resurrection; and an artificial Pokémon with unlimited potential... Conservatively speaking, it can reach the level of the two gods of time and space!"

"Impossible!" Emredo screamed in shock. "Where did those guys get the guts to defy the Sinnoh Grandmaster?!"

“Perhaps it was influenced by his will…if Wangluo wasn’t lying,” Arknom suddenly interjected. “I sensed it before; that human’s will was incredibly strong, even stronger than that of the former hero…”

“Akron, now is not the time to praise him!” Wang Luo’s expression turned sinister.

“It’s just stating the facts,” Yukshi said, stopping the argument. “Wangluo, thank you and Giratina for saving us… If there’s nothing else, we’re heading back.”

Although the tone was one of seeking opinions, Yuuki had no intention of listening to any response and teleported away from the Reverse World on her own.

With its departure, Emlid and Arknom did not linger either, each returning to their respective underwater spaces.

Wang Luo watched silently as the three mushrooms departed one after another, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Of the three gods of the lake... only one is reliable."

...

A moment later at Lake Wisdom, Yukishi, who had just arrived home, had a slight change in expression, as if she had sensed someone's arrival.

"What exactly do you want to say by following me here?"

It turned around impatiently and, sure enough, saw the centenarian youth crossing the circle.

"I think it's better to discuss some things with the God of Knowledge alone." Wang Luo put on a respectful demeanor, but his words were full of arrogance, directly belittling the other two holy mushrooms.

“The God of Emotions is too emotional; otherwise, it wouldn’t have immediately wanted to entrust that girl with a great responsibility upon seeing her, completely disregarding the fact that she is only nine years old. The God of Will is even more focused on human beliefs, and it might be influenced by that blasphemer in the future… At present, only you, God of Knowledge, can resolve the crisis.”

"Flattery won't work; get straight to the point." Yukshi remained unmoved.

“In order to deal with the blasphemer and his accomplices, we should also gather a force.” Wang Luo began to speak eloquently. “I previously asked Giratina to destroy Mt. Chimney in order to lure out Groudon and Kyogre, but unfortunately the blasphemer broke it with Jirachi’s wish, and the Ruby and Sapphire were also destroyed in his hands.”

"But that's alright. I'm confident I can create new Ruby and Sapphire Gems, allowing Groudon and Kyogre's power to be used by us; also, Rayquaza currently harbors extreme hatred for humans, so perhaps it could join our side. I previously tried to persuade Kalos, but unfortunately, the guardians there are strictly bound by order, and neither it nor its two subordinates were willing to join..."

"Get to the point," Yukshi urged again.

"I want to find the ore that was left over from back then... and then summon the two gods of time and space!" Wang Luo finally revealed his purpose.

"What did you say?" Yuxie suddenly opened her eyes, her sharp gaze even causing Wangluo to instinctively look away. "Having Giratina isn't enough, you also want to capture Dialga and Palkia?!"

“The blasphemer’s power is too great. I must ask the two gods of time and space for a sure victory.” Wang Luo hurriedly defended himself. “I know you have doubts, but as a descendant of the ancient Sinnoh people and a tamer recognized by the Sinnoh Grand Master, am I more dangerous than a blasphemer?”

Seeing that Yukshi hesitated, Wangluo immediately added fuel to the fire.

"That blasphemer, he stole the Judgment Jar from Gulis in Carlos!"

“Gulis…” Upon hearing this name, Yukshi was finally moved.

Gurisu was the most talented tamer among the descendants of the ancient Shinonome. Before the appearance of the young heroine, Uxie once believed that she was the one who could best interpret the 'knowledge' that she represented.

Unfortunately, it later left Xicui...

"The blasphemer has dismantled the Punishment Bottle, and one of his Pokémon has already absorbed the Water-type source!" Wang Luo urgently advised, "Uxie... if you hesitate any longer, even the Sinnoh Grandmaster will be in danger!"

"The Origin Ore is hidden in the Random Ruins." Yuxi was finally persuaded and revealed the secret from back then.

A hundred years ago, when the spacetime rift was about to go out of control, the young heroine used fragments of the Red Chain and Origin Ore to create the Origin Sphere, which could subdue the two spacetime gods, and used their power to defeat Wangluo and Giratina.

However, as a human chosen by the Sinnoh Grandmaster, the young heroine could not retain the two Time Gods for long. Therefore, after Wanglu was expelled, the Origin Sphere was eventually destroyed, and the three Time Reversal Gods returned to their respective abodes.

To prevent them and the Great Lord of Sinnoh from being disturbed, the people of the time built a door outside the Spear Pillar and forged the Origin Ore into the Spear Key to open the door, which was then sealed in the Random Ruins.

"The Random Ruins... to break the seal there, we need stone tablets of the dragon, steel, and water elements, right? They're all in the hands of blasphemers now. Are we just going to have to steal them?" Having received the news he'd been longing for, Wang Luo realized he seemed to be a step too late again...

"Robbery... Are you worried about living too long?" Yuxi scoffed mockingly. "You really don't know who you're guarding against by placing the Gun Key in random ruins?"

The catastrophe a century ago, the distortion of spacetime rifts not only destroyed the real world, but also caused the distortion of the Unbelievable Kingdom, resulting in the deaths of countless unknown totems!

To put it bluntly, the Unknown Totem has a blood feud with Wanglu and Giratina, so the Key to the Spear must be kept by them to prevent Wanglu, that madman, from making a comeback!

"You'd better not underestimate the power of the Unknown Totem... If you are really sealed in the Land of the Unknown, you can only pray that the Grand Master Sinnoh will personally come to your rescue."

"Then what should we do?" Wang Luo was clearly a little scared.

Falling into an unbelievable land and being tortured to death by billions of awakened powers... it's best not to try this kind of torture.

"Let's find the Vajra Jade Soul and the White Jade Soul first. Although the power of the two gems has been greatly diminished, their symbolic meaning is still intact." Yuxi pointed out a clear path for Wangluo. "Take the two gems with you and apologize to the Unknown Totem together with Giratina. Sincerely ask for their forgiveness, and they may hand over the Spear Key."

“This…” Clearly, Wang Luo didn’t want to take this path.

Why should he apologize to a bunch of weaklings?

Besides, even if he were willing to condescend, would Giratina lower his status as well?

But this seems to be the last resort...

He was also unaware that Ash's last trip before leaving Sinnoh was to the Ruins of Random!

Chapter 729 To a Wonderful World

After the conflict at Mount Coronet ended, Ash did not stay for long.
