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

Ash previously stated that he designates both the entrance and exit to the Spirit World, and Unova is the entrance he chose.

In one of the houses over there, there is also a spirit world gate that can be opened automatically.

"In addition, I will become more aloof and I will also erase your memories of having seen the Night Demon... But don't worry, all of this is temporary."

When he spoke, Xiao Zhi had already adopted an aloof demeanor, and his face was completely expressionless.

He was sealing off his own heart, banishing Palukia to the Land of the Unknown, which could only prevent the other party from spying on their actions.

If they make contact with it again and Arceus possesses it once more, the alpaca will still have a chance to access everyone's memories.

Therefore, Xiaozhi had no choice but to use this method.

Reversing the power of the super-counter to build a mental barrier, completely refusing to communicate with the outside world, while erasing Xiaoguang and the others' memories of the Night Demon, so that the other party cannot read anything about them!

He didn't even tell his companions that he wanted to use the Night Demon as a coordinate and the spirit realm passage at Tianguan Mountain as an exit!

...

Silent all night.

The next morning, after confirming that everything was in place, Ash led his friends through the ring to Unova.

The place he was in was the mansion of the Candle Spirit in the BW animation. The mansion a hundred years ago was not as dilapidated as it is now, but it had already begun to be haunted.

"Come out, Palkia." Ash retrieved the Origin Ball from the Land of Wonders and released Palkia once more.

"Arceus, I know you're still possessed," Ash said coldly to Palkia. "I need to enter the Spirit World from here. Open the Spirit World Gate now!"

“Okay.” With a casual glance through Palkia’s eyes, Arceus confidently guessed Ash’s plan.

This is the place that the original 'Ash' would pass through in the timeline that was later added to it.

This despicable, treacherous fellow must have naively believed that as long as the gate to the spirit world was opened here, there would be no risk of it being forcibly closed.

“But I have conditions.” Arceus was indeed unwilling to cooperate immediately. “In this operation, neither side is allowed to hold back… You must give it your all, and those around you must also enter the Spirit Realm!”

“Okay, so they’ll all come in together.” Ash readily agreed and immediately used the ring to bring the three lake gods.

After that, he proposed an exception.

"But 3D Dragon Z has to be excluded... You should know its identity. If it goes to the Spirit World, it's like the whole world is walking into a trap!"

3D Dragon Z is the planetary will of the material world, and now the spirit world has also developed its own will, which wants to eliminate 3D Dragon Z as soon as possible.

If it were to go in with them and something were to happen to it, the world would collapse before the dark matter even gets to the alpaca.

“It can stay outside.” Arceus had no objection to this, feeling that it had Ash under its control.

The spirit world is a world that Arceus created specifically to release resentment. It is the only one on the entire planet that can open and close the gates to the spirit world at will anywhere... Ash's attempt to escape by relying on the power of the rings is, in Arceus's eyes, a complete waste of time.

Any struggle is futile; once he dares to enter the spirit realm, he will never be able to escape!

"Then...shall we go?" Xiao Zhi suggested, raising an eyebrow.

"Go!" Arceus snorted coldly, and with the body of the God of Space, he unleashed a special Sub-Space Rift Slash, splitting the entire mansion in two!

In the crevice at the center of the wreckage, a dark gate to the spirit world is slowly opening…

Chapter 1164 The Spirit Realm... A Full-Force Charge!

The dark red sky was gloomy and oppressive, with no clouds, only a gradual deepening of color from the inside out, until it converged into a huge, pitch-black vortex at the center of the sky.

That must have been a highly concentrated mass of resentment, like the sun of the entire spirit world, or a chilling eye that constantly cast malevolent glances.

The land below was devoid of vegetation and water, consisting only of cracked wasteland and jagged rocks.

In the cracks in the ground and in the corners hidden by rocks, countless shadows lurked... but they were certainly not living things.

"Is this the spirit world...? It feels so oppressive, I can't breathe..." Zhubei frowned uncomfortably and couldn't help but move closer to Xiaozhi.

She, who has always loved space and land, can't stand such a desolate environment... and this spirit world not only has no signs of life, but there isn't even a breath of wind!

Utter solitude and deathly silence, as if even time itself had ceased to exist…

"The original spirit world was not like this; it is only after it was arbitrarily altered that it has become such an ugly state!"

Ash could hear the obvious anger in Palkia's words.

Clearly, it has acknowledged that the changes in the spirit world have long been beyond its control.

There should have been nothing here, not even an environment; it was just a pure, pitch-black subspace.

The resentment generated in the material world will flow into this world on its own, but it will not gather into one... Arceus's original design was to let these resentments roam freely in the spirit world, letting them live and die on their own, as long as they do not continue to 'pollute' the material world.

But nowadays, the spirit world not only has land, but has also changed from passively accepting to actively absorbing, constantly drawing resentment from the material world!

The entire space where Ash and his friends were located was filled with resentment of varying strengths... and he could tell that the slowly rotating vortex in the sky was a carefully crafted resentment collector!

Don't ever think that the spirit world actively absorbing resentment is a good thing.

It should be understood that all living beings with a mind will generate negative emotions, which will then turn into resentment.

According to the previous setting of alpacas, those who can actively enter the spirit world must be extremely powerful resentment, and they may indeed affect the material world.

But with this change in the spirit world, any resentment, regardless of its strength, will be absorbed... It's very possible that your morning grumpiness will unknowingly strengthen the power of the spirit world!

As resentment is continuously absorbed, the material world does indeed appear to become more and more beautiful, and everyone's personality becomes more and more innocent and pure, increasingly conforming to Arceus's pursuit of 'perfection'.

Conversely, the resentment in the spirit world is gathering and intensifying without limit, and one day it will reach a level that even Arceus cannot match!

"How dare you betray us... You deserve to die!" Palkia looked around and muttered curses under its breath, but it also glanced at Ash intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hehe." Xiao Zhi chuckled coldly, knowing that the other party was making veiled attacks.

I've said it so many times, the spirit world was invaded by an external enemy... What betrayal nonsense are you spouting? Who are you trying to accuse here of?

“Arceus, how about we split up?” Ash suggested to the alpaca. “You go by air, and I’ll go by land. If either side finds the enemy leader, we can gather together and attack!”

“Okay.” The alpaca had no objection and piloted Palukia to take off first, with the three lake gods following closely behind.

"Why don't we go by air?" the wife asked, puzzled, after the alpacas had set off.

She knew that Ash never liked others being superior, and she didn't understand why they were being allowed to occupy the high positions this time.

Moreover, anyone who isn't blind can see that the seemingly empty wilderness is actually filled with the shadow of nothingness!

If they take even one more step forward, the other side will swarm and attack them like a hornet's nest that has been disturbed!

"There's nothing we can do; the sky is more suitable for them." Ash shrugged helplessly. "At least we can see a shadow... those unseen creatures in the sky are the greater danger!"

The shadow of nothingness is not true nothingness; it is the overflowing malice and resentment that is truly invisible and intangible, making it impossible to guard against!

After arriving in the Spirit World, Ash, Alakazam, and Metagross sensed that the resentment permeating the sky was much heavier than that on the ground.

Moreover, seemingly to protect that enormous vortex, the sky was filled with all sorts of spatial distortions... The actual location of that vortex might be much farther away than what the naked eye could see.

If Ash and his friends had chosen to travel by air, the time it would have taken them to reach that vortex would have been enough for them to rush directly to the vicinity of the sun.

Therefore, everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. Spatial distortion should be dealt with by the God of Space; why invite trouble upon yourself?

"Everyone, are you all ready?" Ash, straddling Umbreon, activated his Psychic-type ability and instructed his companions, "Once we set off, just follow my instructions and charge forward... Our first target is the source of Dark-type attacks, understand?"

He looked around at his companions. Xiao Guang had already mounted the Shiny Rapidash, with powerful companions like Xiao Dai and Tyranitar by his side. Zhu Bei and his wife were even more protected by Haku, making them absolutely safe!

"Great, then... let's go!!" "Pikachu!!"

With a deafening 100,000 volts as the arrowhead, Ash and his friends launched a surprise attack on the hellish wilderness ahead!

Click! !

The raging lightning swept across the battlefield, and the ethereal shadows that had just emerged from their concealment were shattered by the exploding lightning, with many being torn to pieces on the spot!

"Kirby!" Using the path opened up by Pikachu, the Gigantamax Kirby, having eaten candy, also charged into the battlefield.

With its belly bulging and rolling, Snorlax, at maximum attack power, transforms into a giant meatball tank, smashing away the horde of enemies that surround it once again.

However, this was just the beginning. Snorlax then delivered a series of self-destructing spectacles!

boom! boom! boom!

Boom! !

With three consecutive super self-destruct attacks during the rolling, plus a serious big blast supported by Ash, four huge craters suddenly appeared on the field where the group was advancing, and countless void shadows were blasted into the sky!

Following closely behind, Ash's seventeen strongest partners also began their own offensive performances!

At low altitudes, companions like Dragonite, Mega Pinsir, and Togekiss dash forward, while on the ground, Tyranitar, Blastoise, Heracross, and others are even more prominent.

The vanguard's objective was very clear: to use their near-limitless elemental power to break through the path and charge forward with all their might, following Ash's directions!

As for finishing off enemies, other teammates will naturally take care of that.

Pokémon like Nidoking, Talonflame, and Lycanroc, though not chosen to absorb the Source of Life, are renowned powerhouses whose fierce attacks are equally unmatched!

Super Lizard King and Xiao Guang's Greatsword Demon formed an assassination team. Any opponent pointed at by the blade could never stand up again!

Ash's main force was also busy. Apart from Pikachu and Bakamatsu being in the center, Charizard and the other partners were all scattered on the edges, closely monitoring the team's progress.

Lucario maintained a constant aura link with Ash, searching for possible biological auras over a vast area.

Giratina, or any other waveguide, will do; that will definitely represent the right direction!
