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

Fortunately, most of the news was good.

Gua's Growlithe evolved into Arcanine and became the Island King. It did have a very brief period of rage... but Ash quickly calmed it down.

Moreover, together with the spirit of the previous island king, they awakened Arcanine's rationality and prevented it from suffering serious harm.

He also sealed away Shidoran and stopped the eruption of Mount Harshness, his actions were nothing short of savior-like.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Bei was overjoyed and naturally bragged about it to Xiao Zhao...

"Wait... what did you say his name is?!" Xiao Zhao seemed not to have heard Zhu Bei's words clearly, and kept questioning her while grabbing her wrist.

"Xiao Zhi, didn't I just say that?" Zhu Bei felt that Xiao Zhao was a bit confused.

But she didn't know that Xiao Zhao couldn't hear the name she was saying at all, and couldn't even read her lips!

The Arceus phone continued to emit a barely perceptible glow, and Xiao Zhao gradually began to feel her perception becoming strange…

The other person seemed to have said it many times, but she just couldn't hear the name clearly. She had thought of it not long ago, when she saw that shiny Metagross…

But now it's getting increasingly blurry, and I'm almost unable to remember what the other person looks like!

"Tell me...please tell me!" Xiao Zhao pleaded incessantly with Zhu Bei, "Who is that person? Let me hear you clearly!!"

"Are you... alright?" Zhu Bei panicked for a moment; Xiao Zhao was definitely not acting normally right now!

Xiao Zhao's questioning grew weaker and weaker, replaced by a blurred understanding of herself.

And who am I?

It's a picture of Team Galactica... No, that's not right!

That was just a name I made up on the spot. I fell out of a spacetime rift, and my real name is Xiaoguang. I'm fifteen years old this year…

No, that's not right. I should still be Xiao Zhao.

Who...am I?!

"Ugh..." The obsession in her heart and the invisible interference clashed with each other, making Xiao Zhao's consciousness increasingly chaotic. Finally, after a muffled groan, she softly fainted in front of Zhu Bei.

"Xiao Zhao?!" Zhu Bei was startled and quickly held the unconscious girl in her arms.

"Help...Help! Slow down the descent...Ah!!"

Just then, Togekiss arrived with the half-dead King Kong...

Chapter 1103 Unspeakable Suffering, Guidance of Time

"Um...Is she alright?"

Gangshi dragged his tired body closer. Although he was dizzy, he still didn't forget to ask about Xiaozhao's condition.

"Aren't you the one who's alright?" Zhubei asked hesitantly. "You look like you could die at any moment."

"Don't worry about that! I'll be fine... uh~"

Gangshi said the upward movement was too much and he felt a little dizzy...

"She's probably just having trouble processing her confused memories, so she fainted temporarily. She'll be fine after a rest," Zhu Bei explained, offering a plausible explanation.

In her view, this is what amnesia is like.

Xiao Zhao is not Xiao Zhi after all. It was only by chance that he was able to recall the information about the Azure Coast. He was also provoked just now, which is why he is in this situation.

"I see..." After hearing the gist of the matter from Zhubei, Gangshi began to plan what would happen next.

Xiao Zhao is right, something did happen at Qunqing Coast, but it was resolved very quickly.

Therefore, the kings in various places are indeed at risk of going berserk. Both times it was the Pearl Team, and it's hard to say whether it will be the King Kong Team's turn next!

We still need to think of a solution together...

"Hey, you can go back now." Gang Shi wanted to discuss it some more, but Zhu Bei suddenly gave him the order to leave. "Miss Guana and I have to take care of Xiao Zhao, so we won't keep you... You can go find Ma Jiamu, and while you're at it, please pass on my message that we will quell the raging king ourselves, and we don't need outsiders to interfere!"

Since Ash asked Guana to relay the message, Pearl will definitely listen, and she also feels it would be better for Ash to take the lead.

“Pearl… now is not the time to be stubborn.” Gangshi frowned, looking troubled.

He had two things on his mind: first, Zhu Bei's attitude... and second, did he really have to fly back now?

"Of course you don't have to go," Zhubei said nonchalantly. "The Galactic Team can continue investigating the King and Queen, but... you'll have to bear the consequences!"

Phew... I finally got my revenge. Zhubei is feeling incredibly good right now.

Our Pearl Team has its own experts who can handle things, so why would we need you guys to point fingers?

"Well... fine, I'll go!" Gangshi had no choice but to compromise temporarily in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

The price was that he had to experience once again the thrill of 'being soaring through the air while your soul chases after you'...

Yeah, it's really fast, I feel like I'm about to die~

"Oh dear, did he leave in such a hurry?" Just before and after the diamond's departure, the lady also leisurely appeared on her Dragonite... It's hard to say whether she did it on purpose or not.

"What brings you here, someone from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce?" Zhu Bei asked, frowning.

"I'm here to see her, and also to let Dragonite meet his companions." The lady pointed to the unconscious Xiao Zhao, while Dragonite greeted Luca and his senior brother.

"So you're Ash's companions too!" Tsubasa suddenly realized.

"Wow, he actually told you his name... Does that mean you two are already dating?"

"I...we didn't!!" Faced with her wife's obvious teasing, Zhu Bei blushed instantly.

Although Xiaozhi helped her a lot, they had only known each other for such a short time.

And he was going to leave eventually...

"If you're not awake, you're not awake. What's the big deal? Uh, you're awake?" The wife shrugged indifferently, glancing casually at Xiao Zhao, only to find that the latter had already opened her eyes.

"Xiao Zhao, are you alright?" Zhu Bei asked immediately with concern.

"I'm fine..." Xiao Zhao shook her head silently.

Her memories were a jumbled mess just now, but she's finally starting to sort them out a bit...

But she also discovered some taboos that she couldn't mention... or even think about!

“Xiao Zhao, that’s an interesting name… I happen to know someone named Xiao Guang before.” The woman began to probe indirectly, but the girl didn’t react at all.

This made the wife realize that something was wrong; the other party might be afraid to admit it, or simply didn't remember the name!

But without a doubt, she was fifteen-year-old Xiaoguang.

Luca has confirmed her waveguide; there's absolutely no mistake!

"Xiao... Zhao, right? How are you feeling now?" The wife feigned concern. "I know a pretty good doctor who might be able to solve your problem... He can even cure your heartache."

A mental illness requires a mental cure, and some guys, though blatant scumbags, can still be a good remedy.

However, Xiao Zhao refused.

“No need, I just want to go back to Zhuqing Village now…” The girl shook her head in a low voice, “After reporting to Captain Ma Jiamu, I will try to find a way to deal with the Forest King’s rage.”

"That's none of your business!" Zhubei immediately retorted. "Don't go anywhere right now, just stay here with Miss Guana and rest! Ash will handle the Forest King's matter, you don't need to worry at all..."

“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Xiao Zhao stubbornly shook her head. “I’m a member of Team Galaxy, and I definitely have to go back to Zhuqing Village… Miss Zhubei, you don’t need to worry about me, I’ll be fine, really fine.”

"Wow!" "Luca..."

The repeated emphasis on "dull tape" made both the senior brother and Luca's hearts stir at the same time.

They accompanied Ash through Sinnoh, so naturally they knew a certain girl's classic catchphrase.

So, Xiaoguang may not have a memory problem, but rather has something he can't talk about!

"Understood, I'll take you back later." Reminded by her companion, the wife also noticed something amiss and immediately decided to support Xiaoguang's actions.

When participating in the jade washing activity, participants will indeed encounter many rules and even subjective restrictions, and every step must be taken with care.

Dawn seems to be under some kind of constraint; she can't hear Ash's name, can't ask about anything related to Ash, and may even gradually lose awareness of her identity as 'Dawn,' only seeing herself as 'Dawn' from Team Galactic...

But that's okay. Now that the problem has been identified, it means it can definitely be solved!

This is the confidence that everyone has built up over a long period of time. Xiao Zhi is absolutely able to lead everyone out of this predicament and gain the upper hand!

All we have to do is contribute our share and wholeheartedly trust Ash!

...

"Hmm... this feeling... is something bad going to happen...?"

At that moment, somewhere in Obsidian Plains, Ash suddenly noticed something unusual about the Gears of Time.

Previously at Obsidian Falls, Ash studied the Gyarados that could fly and confirmed that it was indeed achieved through a highly developed Flying type.

The local environment seemed suitable for developing attributes, so Ash contacted the Pokémon there and left Gyarados there temporarily.

At the same time, he also planned out his next itinerary... First, he would sweep through the Horned Deer Hill and the Giant Tree Battlefield, subdue the horned deer and the split-axe mantis, and then return to the pure white tundra.

But just as he was about to take action, the Time Gear on his chest started spinning inexplicably.

That seemed to be a warning to Xiaozhi, telling him or others that their behavior had seriously exceeded the time limit and must be stopped immediately!

When the gear reached its maximum rotation, it seemed to sense some kind of pull, and a beam of white light burst out from Xiaozhi's chest!

The light streaked across the sky and eventually disappeared into the westernmost part of the Obsidian Plains…
