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

He knew that Soroya must have checked countless times to memorize the location accurately, so that it wouldn't be off-target even if it were buried by snow.

"Hehe~" After being praised by Ash, the little fox finally showed its original smiling face.

It stopped worrying about its influence on Ash and flew back to Ash's shoulder.

Ash was naturally happy for it to do this, as it not only showed affection but also ensured that the resentment it emitted would only bother Ash more, thus reducing its impact on others.

As for what to do next, Xiao Zhi has already made plans.

First, you need to suppress your resentment for now and capture a powerful Ghost-type Pokémon, which should help solve this problem.

The most suitable candidate should have been Gengar, who carries the Ghost Source... but it stayed in the modern era, and even Ash couldn't pull it back with his Rings.

After temporarily suppressing my resentment, I need to rebuild my body... This is easier than the previous steps. At worst, I can go find Ho-Oh. I'll definitely have enough Saint Ash and life force then!

With a weight lifted from his shoulders, Ash packed his belongings and prepared to leave with Pikachu and the little fox.

"Captain Shelley, I'm sorry to have worried you again." As Ash was leaving the ice rock, he found Shelley still waiting for him, so he gratefully went up to thank him.

“I wasn’t worried about you, I just came along out of curiosity.” Zhu Bei quickly shook her head, but her expression showed more approval. “However, I believe you’re not a bad person.”

After witnessing the bond between Ash and Zoroark, Tsubasa had no more doubts about Ash.

"I am deeply honored by this..."

boom!

Before the words were finished, a violent tremor came from afar.

Ash and Shelly looked over at the same time and discovered that not too far apart, a huge dark purple energy ball was raging wildly.

It is like an inverted giant bowl, completely isolating its interior from the outside world; the energy forming the barrier also surges like a storm, even tearing open several huge cracks in the sky above!

"That's... spacetime distortion?" Zhubei muttered to herself, then suddenly turned pale with shock, "Oh no! That's a heart-shaped rock mountain, too close to the settlement!"

She was extremely worried. If the spacetime distortion continued to expand, or some ferocious creature fell out of the rift, the entire Pearl Team could be in danger!

"I'll go check it out right away!" Ash immediately sprang into action, heading straight to the scene with his reunited friends.

But as they got closer, his expression, while still solemn, gradually revealed surprise and confusion.

"What's going on... Why is it Infernape's Aura?!"

Chapter 1089 Time and Space Distortion!

In Alpaca Chronicles, the spacetime distortion occurs after the protagonist pacifies the Forest King, and the specific location, including the Pokémon that will appear within the distortion area, is basically fixed.

However, the real-world situation is certainly more complex and the impact is more severe.

Xiao Zhi had watched "Shi Xue Er Lan" before, and the time distortion in the plot left a deep impression on him.

Once the distortion occurs, everything around it will be affected, and those rampaging Pokémon will indiscriminately wreak havoc.

The weak Pokémon could only resign themselves to fate, trembling in the chaos; humans could only keep their village gates tightly shut, praying that the crazed 'monsters' wouldn't break in…

"This...this is..." After rushing all the way to the vicinity of Heart-Shaped Rock Mountain, Zhu Bei was completely stunned by the scene before her eyes.

The pitch-black energy field was spreading rapidly, and the terrifying tearing even uprooted the thick cedar trees; the distorted interior was filled with miserable wails and frantic roars, and it was extremely chaotic!

"No... I have to go back and inform everyone!" Zhu Bei finally came to her senses. With the speed of the spacetime distortion expansion, it would soon affect the pearl settlement!

"We can't leave this place unattended; a Pokémon inside is injured!" Ash said in a deep voice. "Miss Turtle, you should go back to the settlement now... I'll stay here and try my best to control the effects of the distortion!"

"But..." Zhubei wanted to say something more, but Xiaozhi had already started moving like the wind and plunged into the dark energy field!

Through the barrier of chaos, Pearl vaguely saw Ash quickly arrive at the side of several severely injured Abomasnow and Snowcap, and after taking them to a safe place, he began to check their injuries.

Just as Zhu Bei was slightly relieved and was about to rush back to inform them, a dark, blazing fire suddenly burst forth from not far away!

"Ash! Watch out!!" Tsubasa screamed worriedly, her heart pounding in her throat.

However, Xiaozhi had always been on guard against such unexpected situations.

The rapidly approaching waveguide was all too familiar to him; it was none other than his captured partner—Infernape!

"Waaaaah!!" The eldest brother seemed to be affected by the spacetime distortion as well. Its face was now ferocious, and the flames in its eyes and hair were an abnormal dark purple. It frantically threw a heavy punch at Ash!

"So exciting right from the start... Well then, let's say hello~" Xiao Zhi grinned and calmly shielded the injured behind him... Then he threw a punch!

boom! !

The two fists collided, and the explosive force of the punches caused a huge explosion, even blowing a vacuum out of the thick snow beneath their feet.

After the attack, Ash quickly spread his fingers forward and grabbed Infernape's wrist with lightning speed!

"No way..." Zhu Bei was completely dumbfounded by what she saw.

To be able to exchange punches with such a ferocious Pokémon, and even instantly suppress it... This guy is even more powerful than Master Hama!

However, thanks to Ash's superhuman performance, Tsubasa finally stopped worrying and hurriedly ran back to the settlement to warn everyone to be on alert.

Ash continued his standoff with the disoriented Infernape, his smile growing ever brighter.

"Zorua, get out of here first, or my power will hurt you." Ash first sent Zoroa out of the distorted area. To awaken Infernape, Ash needed to unleash his Aura, which would contain the sacred life force from Ho-Oh that would harm Zoroa's remaining soul.

After the little fox flew far away, Ash then unleashed a brilliant blue aura around himself, and the immense power quickly surged into Infernape's body, sweeping away the malice that had clung to him like a bone-deep wound!

"Although I don't know what happened, I'm really happy to see you here~"

"Wa ...

Upon realizing that the person in front of it was indeed Ash, it immediately withdrew its attack stance in surprise, followed by a series of extremely joyful shrieks!

Very good!

Everyone's efforts paid off; they successfully arrived in Ash's era!

"It's not over yet, let's catch up properly later." After the joy of reunion, Ash instructed Infernape, "I need to look after these injured Pokémon. You go and help hold off the other berserk guys... Don't beat them too badly, they have no choice."

"Waaaaah~" Infernape understood Ash's meaning and lunged at the two Scizor that were attacking.

It didn't utilize its inherent advantages, but instead slowly maneuvered around its opponent, using all sorts of monkey-style punches and sticks, mainly focusing on attrition.

Taking this opportunity, Ash also transferred some life force to several injured Pokémon.

That's all he can do for now. When he broke Star Stop, his Viridian Heart had become even more enlightened, but he had very little power left and was unable to efficiently heal the Pokémon's injuries.

Moreover, they also have severe fractures and external injuries. To fully treat them, Ash needs appropriate medications and medical equipment, all of which can only be obtained after the event is over.

However, Ash wouldn't just sit idly by. While Infernape was battling its opponent, he had already discerned many things.

The Infernape and the two Scizor, both in a berserk state, have all experienced varying degrees of power enhancement. The reason for this is that the natural energy within the spacetime distortion area is much denser than usual!

Ash recalled what Professor Raben had said in the game: the spacetime rift was actually the superposition of several universes, and the power was in a state of saturation.

The universe can be understood as different spaces or other worlds. Perhaps it is because of this superposition that the natural energy in this area is more abundant.

Some Pokémon with exceptional talent and sensitivity to natural energy will spontaneously absorb this natural energy into their bodies, thereby increasing their power in a short period of time.

However, other common creatures, such as the Snowcap and Abomasnow that Ash is currently treating, will not be affected.

Furthermore, the reason why berserk Pokémon behave ruthlessly is not related to natural energy.

The reason is that after Infernape regained its senses, it did not become weaker as it was supposedly, but still maintained the enhancement it had during its berserk state, and was consciously absorbing this natural energy, intending to completely transform it into its own foundation.

As a result, a clear difference emerged in the arena. As the battle continued, the two Scizor became weaker and weaker, while Infernape grew stronger and stronger!

"It's also the work of resentment..." Xiao Zhi sensed carefully and finally confirmed that there was an extremely vicious resentment hidden within the dark energy barrier around him!

It must have been it that was secretly causing the Pokémon that absorbed the natural energy to fall into that insane and violent state!

Such a discovery would undoubtedly make the conspiracy of the spacetime rift more plausible.

If it were simply an energy overload, how could it possibly affect Dialga or Palkia?

There's no reason for the god of time and space to be so low-class.

Wangluo and Giratina joined forces, causing a distortion of spacetime while simultaneously drawing in resentment from the spirit world through the source of ghosts, finally inciting the two gods of spacetime to go berserk...

Doesn't this kind of conspiracy sound much more plausible?

Chapter 1090 First Contact

Having roughly figured out the key to the conspiracy, Ash can now begin to eliminate the effects of this spacetime distortion.

He jogged a few steps behind him, catching up with the expanding, distorted edge, and casually poked his fingertips, wreathed in waveguide fire, at the dark barrier.

boo~

With a crisp pop, a bright blue halo instantly filled the entire barrier, completely eradicating all resentment.

Even if he achieves his expected goal in this way, as long as there is no resentment, the impact of this distortion is actually quite small.

No special treatment is needed; just wait for it to expand to its limit, and the unsustainable energy field will automatically dissipate.

During its existence, Ash could even place Pikachu and Infernape inside to train, absorbing natural energy and improving their attributes with twice the efficiency...

hum~

Sometimes things just don't go as planned. Before Ash could finish his idea, the Time Gear on his chest suddenly started spinning, pulled by an invisible force, causing the entire barrier to collapse instantly.

The obstruction disappeared, and the surrounding scenery was brought back into view.

He was facing the entrance to the Pearl Village, where the once-open gate was now just a crack.
