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

Like an army, these ethereal shadows are so formidable that their troublesome nature far exceeds everyone's imagination.

The non-elemental attacks of the main body are already troublesome enough, and they also have the characteristic of splitting after being knocked down, so if you are not careful, more and more of them will appear.

Furthermore, their ability to transform into various Pokémon forms, some even Mega Evolved Pokémon, undoubtedly increases the difficulty for Ash's side in advancing.

Fortunately, his companions were also well-trained and accustomed to this kind of group combat. With reasonable rotations and the companions who possessed the Source of Life leading the way, they were able to ensure that everyone continued to delve deeper into the spirit world.

During this period, due to the intense battles, even the Litten that occasionally took action successfully evolved into Tornadoe!

Ash is still exploring with Lucas. While he is in the Spirit World, he has to constantly emit auras to shield his companions from the influence of resentment, and he also has to be wary of the alpaca's ambushes. His main strategy is definitely to finish the battle quickly.

The sooner he finds the source of evil, the more power he and his companions can reserve to deal with any possible enemy plots!

"Luca?" "Did you find him?"

After advancing a while, Ash and Lucario sensed each other at the same time.

A strange waveguide signal appeared far to their side!

It's not Giratina... but it doesn't matter who it is, it's definitely one of their targets anyway!

"Confirm the direction and rush over at top speed!" Ash immediately gave the order, and the main force that was rushing forward also began to change direction at the same time, advancing continuously in the direction indicated by the wave guide.

This time, they finally saw the end of the wilderness.

Connecting to the wilderness is a canyon, within which lies a dark and deep passageway, its destination unknown.

"Is this like leaving hell only to fall into the abyss again..." The wife complained impatiently as she kicked away a shadowy figure. "I wonder when this will ever end."

"Try to be optimistic. Maybe after we get past this point, we'll have traversed half of the entire Spirit Realm," Xiao Zhi said with a smile, trying to comfort us.

His wife's words, "from hell to the abyss," did indeed remind him of something.

The spirit world they are in now has been transformed into a labyrinth... a special adventure map of an incredible world.

Judging from the environment here, it is clearly the lair of the Void Shadow—the Void World.

However, the spirit world and the void world should still be somewhat different. For example, behind that dark vortex, it is very likely that it is not the door of hope to the material world, but the dark matter that has been hidden all along!

The alpacas are probably close to making contact with that whirlpool; we need to hurry too…

With that in mind, Ash directed his companions to speed up again, and they finally reached the end of the abyss.

It was pitch black here, and they couldn't even tell which way to go... Fortunately, Ash had the Aura to guide him and knew that the 'person' they were looking for was not far ahead.

"Could this be...?" Xiao Guang looked around and was taken aback. She realized that the darkness in front of her seemed to be the scene she had seen in her dream!

and so…

hum~

A faint light appeared ahead, and the warm, dim glow made Xiao Guang even more certain of his guess!

"Gengar!" Unlike Dawn's expectations, Ash was highly vigilant and had Gengar and his friends prepare in advance.

Whoever they encounter next, there's a good chance the enemy is lying in ambush here!

"Creselia...is it really you?" Upon arriving at her destination, Hikari covered her mouth in surprise. The scene before her was exactly the same as in her dream!

Cresselia was imprisoned in the seal, covered in wounds, her body tightly bound by countless ghostly claws formed from resentment, and she looked extremely weak.

Several of the ghostly hands spotted Ash and his friends and immediately attacked, baring their fangs and claws, but were easily dispersed by Lucario.

"Ugh..." Sensing someone approaching, Cresselia weakly opened her eyes.

It swept its lifeless gaze across the crowd until it saw Xiao Guang, at which point its body trembled slightly.

"It's you... Didn't I tell you not to come to save me..." Cresselia's weak voice perfectly conveyed the contradiction between gratitude and resentment. "Go... You all need to leave now! This is enemy territory, you could be surrounded at any moment! Get out of here quickly!!"

"We...we're not leaving!" Glancing at Ash, Dawn saw that he also had an extremely determined expression, and Dawn immediately knew what to do.

"I didn't do anything, yet I received the Crescent Feather from you. I already feel incredibly guilty about this," Xiao Guang declared urgently. "No matter what, I will rescue you today!!"

“Is that so…” A glimmer of hope flashed in Cresselia’s eyes, but it quickly dimmed again. “But it’s no use. What binds me is a deep-seated resentment that cannot be broken by ordinary means…”

"As long as there is sacred aura power... just like this." Ash raised his hand and waved it, and the aura flames that were generated immediately began to burn around Dawn.

"It'll be over soon... Cresselia, I'll rescue you right now!" Seeing Ash's signal, Dawn immediately stepped forward, intending to rescue Cresselia herself.

“Ugh…” Cresselia couldn’t help but show a surprised expression as she watched Hikari get closer and closer, especially as the resentment that had trapped her gradually dissipated.

It seems the information provided by that guy earlier was incorrect.

They weren't able to fight off those resentments by relying on Ho-Oh's power, but rather because that human himself possessed the ability to produce holy auras!

However, now that the die is cast, Cresselia has no choice but to take action.

As Hikaru approached, Cresselia's expression gradually changed from weak to grim and ruthless...

(Don't come any closer!)

"Hmm?" Hikari was secretly startled. She heard someone speaking in her mind, and the voice was exactly the same as Cresselia's!

(You really can't get any closer! It's a fake, you have to leave now...)

"Human girl, I really... thank you so much!!"

Before the voice in her heart could finish speaking, 'Creselia' suddenly looked up, broke free of all restraints, and pounced on Hikari!

The resentment that had been surrounding it shifted its focus, baring its fangs and claws in Xiao Guang's direction!

At the same time, exits to the subspace opened on both sides of the group, and two enormous Giratina emerged simultaneously, charging towards them with countless shadows and resentment...

hum! !

But at that moment, the girl's aura suddenly erupted, and the blue aura flames were like an indestructible barrier, smashing all the claws of resentment to pieces!

"How could this be..." The fake 'Creselia' was shocked. When the aura flame in front of it dissipated, it found that Xiao Guang had already teleported and changed positions, and was being half-embraced by the human it feared most!

The two arrogant Giratina had just approached when they were stopped by Pikachu, Charizard, Mewtwo, and White Dragon working together... And standing in front of Cresselia was Kommo-o with its fists clenched!

"Chirp!!" The power of the fighting source, mixed with the aura of the entire body, surged out in the form of a roar!

The terrifying sonic waves relentlessly ravaged Cresselia's body, even tearing a huge gash in its back, finally revealing the true identity of the villain who had been impersonating it.

Darkrai, the Nightmare God!

Chapter 1167 Escape from Death, The Final Judgment!

The black sun fell, space trembled…

The spirit world was now a scene of utter devastation, and the group's spirits sank to the bottom.

"Are we... unable to get out...?" Zhubei tugged tightly at Xiaozhi's sleeve, her voice filled with obvious helplessness.

Hikari and his wife kept using their Pokémon partners to accelerate, but their expressions grew increasingly serious, clearly indicating that they knew they were already too late.

The only passage in and out of the spirit world is the Candlelight Spirit Mansion. Once Arceus seals it off, none of them will be able to get out...

"Don't worry, I've already anticipated this situation." Ash comforted Pearl with a firm grip on her hand, his tone showing no apprehension but rather confidence.

He calmly activated his super-power and resealed his mind, rewriting the memories of the three women that had been erased.

There is certainly more than one passage to and from the spirit world!

Ash had made thorough preparations in advance for the Night Demon guarding the ruins at the foot of Mount Coronet. However, in order to prevent Arceus from secretly spying on them, he specifically disposed of this part of the memory!

"We can definitely escape! Before that, I need to keep all the Alpaca-types here! Doran, Titan, Spirit Raid!!"

Ash confidently gave the command, and Dragapult and Golem immediately worked together to open up the shadowy subspace!

"Huh!" Without needing any prompting, Mega Alakazam immediately established a Psychic Link with Ash, manipulating one end of the red chain to shoot straight into the tunnel of the Phantom Assault!

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Guang asked, puzzled.

“Ghost-type Pokémon… even Giratina, enter interconnected subspaces when they are in Shadow Realm. If I shoot the Red Chain into it from one end, it can instantly pass through the Shadow Realm and exit through the exit on the other end!”

"The other end? Could it be..." Zhubei quickly counted on her fingers and realized that Ash was indeed missing a Ghost-type Pokémon...

And it's the strongest Ghost-type!

“Before we even made contact with Darkrai, I had already sent Gengar away with Latias’s Poké Ball,” Ash explained. “Arceus, in order to trip me up as quickly as possible, will definitely be rampaging through the air, and Palkia will have cleared away most of the resentment and spatial distortions in the sky… Without those obstacles, Latias will be able to catch up with them very quickly!”

"Then... I can do this!!" As he spoke, Ash suddenly pulled hard, and all the red chains tightened instantly!

At the same time, near the location where they had just arrived in the spirit world, Palukia and the three lake gods, who were about to flee, also felt a jolt and could no longer move forward even an inch.

The super Gengar, exuding an evil aura, grinned maliciously behind them. The pitch-black shadow field completely enveloped the four legendary alpaca-type alpaca, and the chain with extremely strong binding power even pierced directly from its mouth!

With the red chains and the shadow-stepping technique, even though the four alpacas were struggling with all their might, they could hardly move an inch!

The furious Super Sister then unleashed a devastating attack on the four dragons with a barrage of energy!

hum~

The red chains vibrated violently, and the Shadow Realm connecting the two ends was forcibly torn apart.

Palkia and the three lake gods could only be pulled in opposite directions against their will, watching in despair as the passage continued to shrink.

"Arceus, are you even abandoning your own minions?!" Ash's shout finally echoed from afar.

But this did not deter Arceus at all; instead, it sped up and completely sealed off the passage before Ash arrived!

...

"Damn it... even though I expected it to turn out like this, it's still infuriating."
