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

He only had time to send Regice back to the Iceberg Ruins before immediately leading his team to Random Town.

The appearances of the three legendary mushrooms and Giratina brought Ash a great sense of urgency. The activities of the Alpaca-type deities were becoming more frequent, and they were all aimed at him. Ash had to prepare for the worst.

So the spirit of management showed him the way and told him to go and find the key to the gun.

(That thing is made of Origin Ore. With the broken Red Chain and the Origin Ore, you might be able to recreate the Origin Sphere.)

This guidance overjoyed Ash. The Origin Ball was a bug-level Pokémon ball that could be used to capture the two legendary Pokémon from time and space!

Even if it can't be used for brainwashing, as long as one of them can be sealed, the opponent's combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced!

(So, what exactly is Origin Ore?) Ash asked curiously, overjoyed.

(The Primordial Stone of the Universe was not even a creation of the Creator God, but rather a fragment produced when chaos was broken apart at the Creator God's birth.)

Listen to how fantastical its origin is.

It has to be said that alpaca-based deities have a higher level of prestige.

If it were a certain Poison Dragon, its 1125 base stats would sound incredibly powerful, but it could be taken away with just one Red/White Ball.

...

"Is this the Random Ruins...? Why does it look like a park?"

The group arrived at the east side of Random Town. After climbing the long steps to the platform, Lillie couldn't help but marvel at the ruins before her.

In her mind, the ruins were all hidden in the desolate wilderness of the four islands, where a land god with an unconventional appearance was usually worshipped, and the kind of place where no one but the king of the islands was allowed to enter.

However, the ruins are surrounded by lush green lawns, encircling the ancient underground palace in the center, making it look like a theme park with a sense of history.

At the entrance to the ruins, there are statues of Dialga and Palkia.

“The Random Ruins used to be hidden in a cave, but it was later excavated and the exterior was renovated,” Cynthia explained. “Legend has it that this is the last place a hero set foot on in the past, and the locals wanted to commemorate it.”

"A hero from the past?" Lillie asked, puzzled.

"It refers to the hero who saved the land of Xicui a hundred years ago," the knowledgeable Zongci explained. "Legend has it that there was a heroic young girl who fought alongside the Ten Kings of Xicui and the Two Gods of Time and Space, quelling a crisis that nearly destroyed Xicui and even affected the world. Not long after that, the hero disappeared, and the last place she was seen was the Ruins of Suiyi."

The group listened quietly to Souji's explanation, but Ash recalled Mesprit's first words.

When it first met Xiao Guang, it called Xiao Guang a 'future hero'.

What is the connection between the future and the past...?

"Look, there are words engraved under the statues." Chengzi then noticed that the same words were engraved under the statues of the two gods of time and space. "All life... wait, isn't that what Auntie said before?"

She could probably read some ancient texts and realized that these were the words Cynthia had just said on Mount Coronet.

“This inscription can be seen in many ruins in Sinnoh,” Cynthia explained. “I think it was perhaps written by people in the past, guided by the gods, and inspired by their own feelings…”

"What guides people is the true owner of this ruin—the Unknown Totem," Ash gently corrected.

All life will encounter other life, and then something will be produced... This statement is essentially the unknown totem explaining their worldview.

Whether it's the three lake gods or the three gods of time reversal, from what Ash has seen so far, they can't understand the true meaning of this sentence, let alone use it to guide humanity.

Ash led the group into the ruins, which quickly alerted the little creatures clinging to the walls.

One by one, the tiny black letters awakened and swarmed around the group, staring at Xiao Guang with strange looks, and then at Xiao Zhi with even stranger looks, all the while chattering "An" incessantly.

"How strange... They said they were somewhat familiar with Dawn, and then... Ash is actually an Unown?" Zoroark understood what the Unown said, but even it was confused by the translated content.

"Familiar with me?" Xiao Guang asked, somewhat puzzled. "This is the first time I've seen them, but... this site does give me a sense of familiarity."

"I'm a foreign Unknown Totem, and my name is G. That's an identity a friend gave me in the Ruins of Aluf." Ash explained his hidden identity with a smile, putting Dawn at ease.

That little guy is probably living happily in the Land of the Unbelievable...

When Ash recalled these memories and saw the Unknown Totem beside him again, a sense of familiarity welled up within him.

His mood was quickly sensed by the unknown totem, and several letters flew over, lining up in front of everyone.

"FRIEND...does that mean friend?" Lillie exclaimed in surprise. "The Unown has taken us as friends!"

"It's all thanks to Ash's identity," Cynthia said with a smile.

As a mythologist, she inevitably deals with various relics and naturally understands the habits of unknown totems.

The letters living in the ruins have a terrible temper when they wake up; they'll definitely cause a huge scene if they're disturbed.

But now they all surround Ash, as if they have endless things to say to him, allowing everyone to travel smoothly without any obstacles.

Through the power of the Overlord, Unown learned that Ash had come to obtain the Gun Key, and gladly led them to the deepest part of the ruins.

There is a triangular relief on the floor there, with patterns that resemble parts of Dialga and Palucia's bodies.

There is also a square groove at each of the three vertices, which is obviously used to place the stone slab.

“This place…” Xiao Guang frowned slightly, as this place also felt somewhat familiar to her.

"An~ An~" Unknown Totem kindly guided Ash, helping him place the three stone slabs of dragon, steel, and water in the correct positions. The service throughout deserves a five-star rating.

hum!

After the stone slab was placed, the entire relief immediately released a burst of golden light. A metal block shaped like a Rubik's Cube emerged from the seal and slowly flew to Ash's front.

"This is the Gun Key..." Guided by something in the dark, Ash extended an invisible red chain from his chest, lightly touched the center of the Gun Key, and instantly disassembled it into a uniquely shaped 'key'.

This can open the door to the Pillar of Spears; presumably, this thing was sealed away by that hero in the past…

Ash breathed a sigh of relief as he restored the Gun Key to its cube form.

After that, he smiled and opened his arms to a group of unknown totems.

"You can come over now~"

"An! An!" A group of Unknown Totems immediately rushed into Ash's arms, quickly covering his entire body. Many more Unknown Totems squeezed in, fitting him perfectly together.

"What are they doing?" The rest of their companions were startled, but they soon realized that all the Unknown Totems, including Ash himself, were laughing happily.

The laughter seemed contagious, bringing a joyful atmosphere to the entire ruins, and even causing ripples of pleasure to appear on the walls.

"Ash is sharing his experiences with them. Unown seems to really like the outside world, but he can't see it with his own eyes," the little fox explained. "They said that these sights will travel to some mysterious land. Anyway, everyone is very happy."

"What is the world like through Ash's eyes?" Lillie murmured to herself, moved. "It must be wonderful to make everyone so happy."

"Yes, I think the world is really wonderful now." Ash's gentle voice came, and under the effect of his superpowers, a magnificent picture appeared before everyone's eyes.

Mountains, rivers, lush forests, towering cities, and countless humans and Pokémon...

Everything intertwines and converges to form a vibrant and dynamic planet.

"This is the world as I see it. Whether human or Pokémon, every life is a tiny dot on this canvas... because of our encounters, we paint all sorts of beautiful landscapes."

“All life encounters other life and then something is created…” At this moment, Cynthia seemed to have a completely new interpretation of this.

"Admittedly, every point on this painting has flaws, but they do not affect the overall beauty. There are also some serious ink stains, which cannot be ignored because they may stain other parts... But we cannot only focus on them, or even let the scroll collapse in order to remove all the flaws!"

This is what Ash has always insisted on.

The world's landscape is made up of every human being living a peaceful life and Pokémon; if they were lost, the entire world would be riddled with holes.

This is also what Ash wants the alpaca to know: the world can continue to improve... but if you pursue perfection too much, all that will be left in the end is ruins!

"Peace, peace!" The Unknown Totems expressed their gratitude in unison, for they loved the world as seen through Ash's eyes.

"Meeting you was so wonderful, choosing you was so wonderful!" The little fox was stunned for a moment. "So this is the word of the unknown totem!"

On Mt. Coronet, Ash said this to Cynthia, and Zoroar thought he had found the source.

But what it didn't know was that this was an Unknown Totem sensing Ash's feelings and expressing his innermost thoughts.

They are also very fortunate to have Ash, an 'Unknown Totem', to act as their eyes for understanding the world.

“Choice… there’s a hidden meaning in that sentence~” Chengzi imagined the scene where Xiaozhi said the second half of the sentence to a certain champion, and her expression immediately became more and more mischievous. “Hey, you really are trying to woo my aunt, aren’t you?”

"Cough...cough!" This sarcastic remark was so powerful that it caused Ash and Unown to cough together.

"Chengzi, what nonsense are you talking about?!" The goddess was also moved by this, blushing slightly as she ruffled Chengzi's hair with her hand.

"That's exactly right, otherwise what did he mean by that!" Chengzi said playfully while dodging Cynthia's clutches. "I don't mind having an uncle who's the same age as me, anyway, you have to tell me if anything happens!"

"My God..." Xiao Zhi was speechless and asked the heavens.

What's next?

What happened next was Sima Yi missing his ultimate ability, right? Everyone in Alola knows that~

Chapter 730 Sinnoh's Temporary Farewell... and Reunion with Unova

After obtaining the Gun Key from the random ruins, Ash's Sinnoh journey is coming to an end.

Although Pluto is still at large and there is the added shadow of the alpaca system, things must be done one step at a time; it is unrealistic to expect to solve all problems at once.

They picked up Serena in Twinleaf Town, and the three planned to leave Sinnoh by plane.

But they weren't going back to Alola or Kanto; they were going straight to Unova!

Kotetsu still has some of his followers active in Unova, and Ash plans to wipe them all out in one fell swoop. He also wants to keep his promise to Flygon and personally send it back to its homeland with Zoroark.

The moment of parting is approaching, and at the Sinnoh airport, all the friends I've been with recently have come to see me off.

Everyone's face showed reluctance...

"Hey everyone, relax a bit. It's not like I'm never coming back," Ash said with a carefree laugh. "If there's any more news about Pluton, I'll come back to help with the capture."
