Pokémon: All About the Breeding House

Chapter 318 On Time and Space

After finishing his meal, Fang Yan looked at the people and Pokémon playing around in the courtyard, then came to Lugia's side and sat down on the grass.

Lugia opened her eyes, looked at him, and waited for him to speak.

"What happened back then?"

The dialect began to speak slowly under its gaze.

In his anger, he ripped off the pendant around his neck, held it in his hand, and shouted "Divine Bird Strike!" He saw with his own eyes three extremely domineering divine bird figures in the sky crashing into the Time Gods Palkia and Dialga, knocking them down and leaving them lying in a giant crater.

After he saw the silhouettes of the three divine birds in the sky, he felt his strength rapidly draining away, as if his brain was being sucked dry.

"Don't tell me you use shadow clones."

Lugia closed her eyes.

"I don't know either."

Fang Yan stared at Lugia, who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, and narrowed his eyes.

"I remember after the great battle, you told Zhulan that you would leave first and let me go back to the nursery and then come to the beach to find you, right?"

Fang Yan recalled what Cynthia had said to him during dinner earlier.

"Let me guess, you left, then came back, saying you were going to hide for a while."

Fang Yan noticed that Lugia's body involuntarily trembled.

"Could it be that Palkia and Dialga are waiting outside, planning to beat you up and get revenge?"

Lugia did not react.

"Are the legendary birds of the Sinnoh region up to their old tricks again?"

Upon hearing the name of the Three Holy Birds, Lugia awkwardly turned his head away.

The Three Holy Birds—

The three legendary birds of the Sinnoh region made a promise to me, so it couldn't be them.

However, apart from the three legendary birds of Sinnoh, Lugia has never mentioned the three legendary birds of other regions. It is possible that they are under the command of other Lugia.

Fang Yan vaguely remembers that Ash and his friends rescued a baby Lugia in the Whirlpool Islands of Chengdu. However, it seems that the big Lugia was not the one in front of them, otherwise it would have greeted Ash when it saw him.

So here's the question: Does this Lugia recognize that other Lugia? Of the three figures it saw, could that one be one of them? Or perhaps it was one of those two Lugia, one big and one small?

Fang Yan shook his head, pulling his thoughts back to reality. Looking at Lugia, who was still pretending to be dead, he realized that if it wasn't one of the three legendary birds from the Sinnoh region, then there was only one place left.

"Could it be one of the three legendary birds of the Galar region?"

Lugia froze.

Fang Yan took in Lugia's every move, and his voice rang in Lugia's ears like a nightmare.

"Did those three cause some trouble in the Galar region, and you have to go deal with it again?"

"And after you've experienced the three legendary birds of the Sinnoh region, you don't want to deal with those three anymore."

"So you just ran back, out of sight, out of mind?"

"Shut up!"

Lugia's voice rang in Fang Yan's mind, interrupting him.

"Just tell me, are you going to help me or not?"

Fang Yan pursed his lips.

"Is this how you ask for help?"

Lugia: ————

I will endure.

"Ask whatever you want to know."

Lugia gave up struggling.

The main reason is that since the three legendary birds of the Sinnoh region were dealt with, it no longer needs to worry about them. This kind of life is really too comfortable. If the three birds in Galar could be like the ones in Sinnoh, then it could roam around everywhere and wouldn't have to run back and forth between Galar and Sinnoh every time.

"Those three figures are all Lugia, right? Where did the other two come from? The two from the Chengdu Whirlpool Islands?"

He asked in a dialect.

Lugia paused for a moment, "The Whirlpool Islands? You mean the Johto region?"

He nodded in dialect.

"That Lugia with the little one?"

Fang Yan nodded again.

"It's not that. Its strength is quite weak among our race. It has always stayed on the Whirlpool Islands to raise the little one."

"That is—"

"It's all me."

dialect:?!

"You really can create shadow clones?!"

The dialect was greatly shocked.

"What shadow clone? A shadow clone? No."

Lugia's voice rang out, "It's all me."

? !

Seeing Fang Yan's furrowed brows, Lugia's voice continued.

"The shrine sent me from different times, just in time, catching them completely off guard."

After listening to Lugia's explanation, Fang Yan thought for a moment, then asked, "But this doesn't conform to the laws of time at all!"

Lugia stared at Fang Yan with her huge eyes, her expression as if to say: You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

"Who knows what happened? Didn't you hear Dialga's shocked reaction?"

Listening to Lugia's words, Fang Yan suddenly remembered that when his stamina almost completely drained in an instant, and he barely managed to stay upright, he seemed to have heard Palkia question Dialga, "Aren't you the God of Time?"

The insults were quite vulgar.

"Don't even mention Dialga, even I was incredibly awkward after seeing myself."

When Lugia sees himself at other times, he's almost driven mad.

After speaking, Lugia turned to look at Fang Yan, full of doubt.

This guy is getting weirder and weirder.

Logically speaking, this world should not allow beings from different timelines to appear before themselves in another timeline. This violates the rules of Palkia and Dialga, the two gods of time and space, and also goes against the laws of this world.

But this incredible thing happened to him. Looking at his past self, Lugia felt like he was seeing a ghost.

And there's more than one.

Time is a long river that keeps moving forward.

Lugia looked at Fang Yan, who was deep in thought, and said, "Everything that has already happened is unchangeable. If someone accidentally goes back to the past or to the future and changes some things, it will not cause the timeline to collapse. It will just extend a small timeline outward from the original timeline. These small timelines that extend outward from the original timeline can also be called parallel universes."

"But what shocked Palkia and Dialga this time was that when they arrived here in different timelines, they did not feel any changes in the timeline. In other words, this incident did not lead to anything else happening, no parallel universes were created, and everything was developing normally."

"This is a paradox for the spacetime power they possess."

"After all, coming here from different timelines means there's at least one other possibility: that I didn't come here at other times, which led to various outcomes."

Lugia stared at Fang Yan, "When I left Poplar Town, Palucci and Dialga found me."

"According to the dialect, there's only one possibility regarding the situation in Baiyang Town, during the time you were here."

"That is, three of me beating up the two gods of time and space."

Lugia added the last sentence himself.

Delicious.

Lugia felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

He clutched the small wooden plaque to his chest.

Two ethereal voices seemed to echo in my ears again.

"Sa~"

Fang Yan stared at the two lines of text that had frozen in time before he fell into a coma.

[The rabbi's blessing: In tongues, we are with you always, no matter when or where —]

"Shrabah, is it you—no, is it all of you?"
