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

Rotom was sealed inside a crystal, his body dim and he looked extremely weak.

Not far from it, there was a Gear of Time!

There were many crystal fragments scattered around the gear, which must have been sealed before. It is possible that Ash's Gear of Time contacted this place and released power that shattered the seal.

After a moment's thought, Ash figured out the trap Mesprit had set.

It must have obtained a Gear of Time by chance, and perhaps even gained memories from a hundred years later, otherwise it wouldn't have been so certain that it regarded Rotom and the others as enemies.

So it controlled Goodie and Latias as puppets, sealed the weakened Rotom as a hostage, and used the Gear of Time as bait to set up this trap specifically to besiege Ash!

As for the specific method, it is of course to take advantage of Ash's weakness and launch a surprise attack!

Like now!

hum! !

When Ash reached out to the crystal, trying to help Rotom break the seal, the surrounding energy instantly became chaotic!

The immense psychic power tightly bound Ash's body, and three mysterious forces followed in quick succession. The three Lake Gods then appeared in three different directions, intending to simultaneously annihilate Ash's emotions, will, and knowledge!

"The Three Gods of the Lake...you underestimate us!!" "Pikachu!!"

Noisy!

A violent burst of lightning erupted from Pikachu's body, forcibly negating the damage from the mysterious power, and then spread rampantly throughout the entire cave.

Just as the three lake gods were looking astonished and were about to break through Ash's heart, another dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly swept from behind them, scorching the three unsuspecting mushrooms black!

"Ugh..." *3

With a flurry of silver snakes, the three lake gods, which were being attacked by electricity, were severely injured. Ash's companions also took the opportunity to throw balls one after another and immediately launched a series of fierce attacks on them!

It's important to know that Ash's current roster includes Blastoise, Gengar, and Typhlosion, all of which have absorbed the life essence, as well as his absolute mainstays Pikachu and Saccharum.

With the addition of the champion's Lapras and the overlord's Tyranitar, the fate of the Lake Trio was to be surrounded and severely injured, resulting in a crushing defeat!

At the same time, they were no longer able to manipulate the minds of Nymph and Latias.

"How...how could this be..." Emrido weakly raised its head, completely unexpected.

The one who ambushed them at the most crucial moment was actually the sealed Rotom?!

The electric ghost was hovering excitedly beside Ash, its body crackling with electricity, showing no sign of weakness whatsoever!

“Mesprit, there’s something you might not know… Rotom’s strength depends on whether Pikachu is with it.” Ash casually revealed, and Rotom proudly gave Pikachu a tail tap.

Due to Pluton's series of experiments, Rotom is in a state of severe electrical leakage. In order to compensate for the continuous power loss, it has been relying on Pikachu to recharge.

However, this incident also had a silver lining: Rotom's electric discharge ability was greatly enhanced, and even if Pikachu charged it with Champion-level electricity, it could release it all at once without any hindrance!

To put it bluntly, Rotom was too weak at the time and also had to protect the Gears of Time, which is why he was accidentally sealed by Memrid.

Now that Pikachu's big brother has come to its aid, and is using the rampant electric current to recharge it, it can even burn through the electric rabbit!

"Alright, come back and rest... Help me see if it can still be fixed." Ash patted his pocket, and Rotom immediately understood and crawled inside to check the phone that had almost been frozen to death.

Ash's friends had already surrounded the three lake gods, and Ash obtained the other Time Gear without any hindrance!

Click~

With a crisp meshing sound, the two gears rotated together in front of Ash's chest, and some special images appeared before his eyes.

That was the scene where Latias and the others fell into Lake Heart. Rotom's first instinct was to protect the Gears of Time, but unfortunately, the power of the gears alerted Memredo.

During the struggle, Emlid accidentally came into contact with the gears, and his expression immediately changed drastically. Despite being seriously injured, he forcibly sealed Rotom away.

After that, it used Rotom as a hostage to forcibly control Goodie and Latias, and then set up a trap to besiege Ash.

These were all images from the past, and when Ash curiously tried to make the gears rotate a little more, he unexpectedly saw the scene from when he traveled back in time.

The time-space storm left him, Pikachu, and Zoroa battered and bruised; his clothes and backpack disintegrated in mid-air, and all his items scattered like petals in various places…

"It's quite useful; it can even investigate past events at any time." Ash's eyes lit up. "I just wonder if it can be used to predict the future..."

"Damn it... Blasphemer, give the gear back right now!!" Emrydo screamed angrily.

"Give it back, do you mean give it back to Dialga?" Ash retorted dismissively, "and then let it regain its power so it can activate Star Stop again?"

"That's still better than leaving it in your hands!"

"Emrido, what are you talking about?" The irritable red mushrooms were arguing, but the clever Yuxie had already figured out the problem. "What's this about Star Stop? And how did you confirm that he's a blasphemer?!"

"this…"

"You can see for yourselves." Memric tried to argue, but Ash used his Super-Strength to share the future directly with them.

He guessed correctly; Emrido had indeed obtained memories of the future, so there was no harm in letting the other two know as well.

"Hmm..." After a long while, the God of Will seemed to recognize the human before him. "Ash... I apologize to you on behalf of Memruto. It was too impulsive and emotional that caused it to do such a thing..."

At this moment, Arknom was filled with shame, and his voice, which was trying to defend himself, grew softer and softer.

Acting impulsively or emotionally is actually just holding a grudge.

Mesprit knew that Ash had resolved Star Stop in the future, but it wanted to get revenge on Ash, so it set up this scheme and even deceived its two companions.

"Akron, what do you think we should do about this?"

“This…” Azelf had no answer at all; it could fully sense Ash’s current anger.

“Why don’t you decide?” Yukshie interjected immediately. “What do you want us to give in return?”

"Truly the god of knowledge." Ash nodded in satisfaction. "The Wings of Memrigold, the Fangs of Azelf, and the Claws of Uxie..."

"I need a part of your souls to make the Red Chains!!"

Chapter 1106 Time, Mind, Gradually Approaching

There are consequences for courting death, even in legends.

The three lake gods have repeatedly courted disaster in front of Ash, so Ash certainly doesn't need to indulge them.

"Damn it... Waaah!"

"we agree!"

Ah, Emredo, thank goodness you have two great teammates.

Azelf, who had a good relationship with Ash and was able to see the situation clearly, decisively covered Red Mushroom's mouth; Uxie was even smarter, agreeing to Ash's request without hesitation.

It's just a red chain, we'll give it to them.

Anyway, according to the 'plot,' they will eventually hand over the red chain to the young heroine.

Now, if Ash wants it, Uxie can even make the chain longer, so it's perfect for jumping rope!

"If you agree, hurry up, my time is very precious," Xiao Zhi urged condescendingly.

He had to catch up with his companions and deal with the rampaging mantises in the deep forest; he didn't have time to sit here with the three mushrooms.

"Damn it! We won't..."

"Emrido! From this moment on, you are not allowed to speak. I will make all the decisions!"

Yukshi forcibly sealed off Memrig's movements, and then secretly instructed Arknom to ruthlessly extract a huge mass of energy from Memrig's body together with the latter.

"Ugh..." Emrido suddenly became extremely listless and finally couldn't keep making noise anymore.

Honestly, it's really unqualified to be called the god of emotions if it can't even control its own emotions.

However, this is precisely because it is a Pokémon.

Pokémon's minds can be influenced by humans. As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." For a time, the three mythical Pokémon were all influenced by Wangluo and became various perverts.

The Three Saints Mushrooms saw this and were worried for a while... Little did they know that even though they were legends of controlling minds, they were still affected.

In short, Mesprit's epileptic fit was caused by Wanglu's influence, and Ash couldn't be bothered to let it suffer the consequences of its own actions.

“Next is us.” Arknom knew what he had to do, and like Yuxie, he voluntarily surrendered most of his power.

"Humans, this is all we can offer..." Yuxi said weakly. "This is almost all the mental power of the three of us. Take it to the Cloud Ruins, and it will naturally coalesce into enough red chains to serve our purpose..."

"Oh, enough for our needs?" Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow curiously.

“It should be able to…bind at least two Mythic Pokémon simultaneously…” Yuxie explained with some difficulty. “If there’s enough Origin Ore…making two or more Origin Balls is also possible…”

"God of Knowledge, I appreciate your cooperative attitude." Ash satisfiedly withdrew the power that had transformed into the three legendary mushrooms. "Because of your pragmatism, Mesprit was able to escape this calamity."

"I know... this way we won't be sealed away anymore..."

According to Yuxi, Ash definitely wants to seal them away.

Even setting aside their hatred for Memridge, they now know what the future holds. Once Ash leaves the Greenery, they are likely to cause trouble in the past.

Rather than waiting for Ash to seal them, it would be better for them to hand over all their power readily and guarantee that it will not affect the history of the next hundred years.

Phew...that was close!

Luckily, I guessed right...

"I originally intended to take Emrid to the Ruins of the Thousand Worlds."

"What did you say?!" Yukshi and Akhnom were both shocked.

"Ugh..." Amrido himself was also shocked, unable to suppress his fear.
