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

"Huh?" Ash, who was lost in thought, was taken aback. His arms were suddenly empty.

Upon closer inspection, Zoroark seemed to have become a phantom shadow, drifting away from him before reappearing in a new form.

Its originally black fur has turned gray-white, and the red patterns all over its body make it look even more mysterious. Its pale long hair is draped behind it and seems to be twisting slightly as if it is conscious.

Soroyak in its emerald green form!

"Ash, how can you keep holding onto a girl like that? That's so ungentlemanly of you~" A white fox bit its fingertip and winked at Ash with a mischievous grin.

"Zoroark, what are you doing..." Ash didn't have time to pay attention to the fox-like behavior of the other party. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Zoroark was not using the Illusion ability, but was actually changing its form!

It transformed from a pure Dark type into a Normal + Ghost type Green form!

Perhaps because his soul had been strengthened by Gengar, Zoroark retained the power he had as a spirit after being resurrected.

Its current situation is similar to that of the Firestorm Beast. It can also absorb the spiritual energy that is free in the world and switch between two forms, which will definitely make it difficult for opponents to defend against in battle.

Especially the fox in its green form, which has immunity to the three types of Normal, Fighting, and Ghost, but only one weakness: Dark. This is a very good combination of types.

"Hehe, now you know how powerful I am~" Zoroark chuckled smugly before returning to Ash's side. "Tell me, which form do you think is prettier?"

"I think..." Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment.

If Zoroark were to ask him which form is more powerful, he could certainly provide a detailed analysis using his professional knowledge.

But if you ask him which shape is more beautiful, how can he answer that?

He's not a pure Furious; even when he's close to Pokémon, he secretly hopes they'll 'change' a little bit.

If Zoroark were to ask, Ash could only say... it would look prettier as Dawn.

The scene in the Phantom Lord movie where 'Hikaru' is sniffing the ground with his tail wagging and... well, even now, is still pretty explosive!

"Alright, it's you no matter what form you take, and I love you no matter what... Is that a good answer?" Ash ruffled Zoroark's hair vigorously, finally satisfying the persistent fox.

Everything is finally over, now...

click!

"What's going on?" The sudden strange noise alerted Ash, and he quickly noticed the unusual state of the Time Gear inside his chest cavity!

"Dialga?" "What's wrong with it? Why is it not moving at all?"

Following Ash's gaze, everyone noticed Dialga's unusual behavior.

Its body seemed completely frozen, standing motionless in place, without even the slightest tremor!

Even more bizarrely, its waveguide is getting weaker and weaker, as if its life has entered a countdown!

(Blasphemer...no, Ash...please, save...) As if by great effort, Dialga finally established a mental connection with Ash.

But at this point, its waveguide was so weak that it was about to become undetectable!

"Oh no!!" Ash exclaimed in alarm, finally realizing the seriousness of the situation!

Without a second thought, Ash instantly teleported to Dialga's side, simultaneously enveloping Dialga with the Red Chains and the Reverse Super-Strike Crystal...

Bang! !

But he was a moment too late. To everyone's astonishment, Dialga's body exploded without warning!

The mighty God of Time, along with the Gear of Time on his chest, was thus mysteriously reduced to ashes!

At the same time, time in Tianguan Mountain, and even the entire world, experienced extremely violent fluctuations.

However, as the Time Gears that Xiaozhi possessed began to turn again, this tremor quickly disappeared... but what kind of impact it had is still unknown.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi didn't have time to carefully perceive the situation. The crisis was not completely over yet, and if he didn't want the world to become more chaotic, he had to take immediate action!

"Polygon-Z, activate the ring!!"

Roaring angrily at Porygon-Z, Ash immediately changed targets, using Red Chains to tightly bind the three Araquoises together, and sealing them in a crystal without further ado.

Porygon-Z's rings also activated at just the right moment. It completely understood Ash's intentions and cooperated by throwing the crystallized AlphaGo into the Land of the Unknown!

"Ugh..." An invisible force, like a sharp cone, pierced Ash's chest, causing him to groan involuntarily... Fortunately, the Super Power provided solid protection, and the vicious attack only pierced a crack in the crystal on his chest.

"Xiao Zhi!" "Are you alright?!"

Hikari and Tsubasa were startled and immediately rushed over to help Satoshi up.

"I'm fine, that attack wasn't aimed at me... I just shielded the three lake gods." Ash shook his head reassuringly, but his tone betrayed his resentment, "Arceus... now they've completely turned to underhanded tactics!"

"It killed Dialga?" The lady exclaimed in shock. "The three lake gods were also... Oh no, we have to protect Palkia right away!"

Dialga's death would cause time to collapse, and the fall of the three lake gods would even cause the souls of all life in the world to disappear... Arceus is clearly deliberately causing destruction, trying to indirectly destroy Ash by destroying the world!

If Palukia is also destroyed by it, the world will truly collapse completely!

"It won't attack Palkia. If the entire world loses its 'space,' the Temple of Beginning, where it is, will also be exposed!" Ash said bitterly. "It doesn't really want to destroy everything. It just read my mind and knows that I still want to protect the world, so it's using tricks to distract me!"

"What do you mean by conspiracy?" Xiaoguang asked worriedly.

"Sigh... Dialga is dead, but time hasn't collapsed. This is a conspiracy." Ash sighed helplessly. "Just now, wielding the three Gears of Time... I accidentally became the new God of Time!"

"What?!" *N

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't hold back any longer.

Ash has become the God of Time, which means... he's now Dialga?

"That's how it is. Now it's not just Xicui anymore; I have to clean up all the mess caused by the time distortions around the world." Xiaozhi shrugged helplessly, his expression showing a bit of struggle.

"And I also have to make a decision: whether or not to leave Xicui..."

Chapter 1171 The Choice of the God of Time

Ash could only sigh that Arceus's scheme was impossible to guard against.

Imagine, when everyone is celebrating, who would care whether Dialga is stiff and has stopped breathing?

Who would have thought that not only did it abandon its subordinates, but it would also ruthlessly kill them!

Ash fell for this trick. The moment he witnessed Dialga's death, he subconsciously began to worry that time might be out of order worldwide.

But he possesses three Gears of Time, and even if that worry only lasts for a second, it would be enough for Arceus to forcibly bestow the power of time upon him without him even noticing!

As for the subsequent attacks on the three lake gods, it was merely to distract Ash and make the world more chaotic, so that he would be unable to attend to them in the future.

In summary, Arceus harmed his own subordinates in various ways in order to buy time so that Arceus could complete the creation of that treasure.

It's gambling, gambling that Ash will disregard the time chaos of the entire world, and it's also threatening Ash with the space of the entire world, and even all lives!

In this situation, Ash actually has a very simple and straightforward solution: he can go to the Temple of Beginning... and just defeat Palkia.

With the death of the God of Space, all the spaces in the world will collapse and disappear, and the location of the Temple of the Beginning will naturally be exposed, allowing Ash to fight his way up and defeat the alpaca!

But before that, all living beings in the world, including the world itself, will perish along with space!

Whether Ash can restore everything after defeating Arceus is also unknown...

Ultimately, he can only blame himself for not being resolute enough... His talk of running away with his men at the slightest disagreement was mostly just said in anger.

Ash has been the savior for so long, how could he really be determined to give up everything... let alone personally push the world toward destruction!

...

"Anyway, that's the situation." Ash explained to his companions helplessly, "You can't sense the change because you've been by my side the whole time... The world outside of Xicui is probably already in chaos."

"So when you said you were leaving Xicui, you meant you were going to quell the anomalies around the world?" Zhubei asked curiously, her tone seemingly filled with anticipation.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Zhi had just said he was leaving Xi Cui, and she had thought it was some kind of time travel...

“That would just be a waste of effort.” Ash sighed and shook his head. “The world’s timeline has already been severely damaged, and now another Gear of Time has exploded… With my current power, I can’t even keep up with the rate at which new incidents are generated. To solve all the problems, I need to go to the source of time… which is Dialga’s own subspace!”

Just like in the Reverse World, Dialga and Palkia also have their own exclusive domains.

Regarding this point, the time machine in the Super Cube movie has already explained it quite clearly.

Ash mentioned the local climate and environment when they were on the Seven Islands, and the same applies to the Sinnoh mythology.

In the material world, none of the Sinnoh mythology groups actually have a home-field advantage.

Di Alcácer's home ground is naturally its own subspace, where it can maximize the power of time.

Now, that place has become Ash's exclusive territory.

Ash needs to rush there to amplify his damaged Time Power by leveraging his home-field advantage, thereby systematically resolving the global anomalies!

The problem is, getting into that subspace is easy, but getting out might be difficult.

Arceus is bound to trip him up; Ash might just slip in and be immediately sealed off.

When he reappears, things might have changed drastically...

"If you go into that space, how long will it take you to come back?" Sure enough, Xiao Guang had already figured out the key to the problem.

She had also 'experienced' the Sinnoh Mythology trilogy theatrical version and knew that the reason Dialga and Palkia left their own subspace and went to Ashville to fight was because Arceus's awakening caused subspace turbulence!

In other words, if Ash were in his own subspace like Dialga, and Arceus truly wouldn't release him, it would be very difficult for him to come out on his own accord...

"To be honest... I don't know either." Ash shook his head silently; he couldn't lie at a time like this. "Besides, due to the rules of the subspace, I can only go alone..."

"How could this happen..." Everyone present found this outcome hard to accept.

Zoroark became so excited that it broke down, gripping Ash's arm tightly.
