Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 376 Tai Le's Guidance, Shadows of the Remnants of Team Galactic (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although Talebagos is in a state of amnesia and has lost his power, he occasionally regains his memories or power briefly, perhaps due to the influence of the Taijing Crystal temporarily stored with Riko.

After the mist it created dissipated, the power of Talebagos did not completely disappear. Its bright, light blue eyes shone with blue light as it stared intently at the southeastern part of the Galar region.

"Plop..."

"What's wrong, Talebagos!"

Riko looked at it with concern. Fried gestured for the girl to be quiet. Mingyou observed calmly, trying to understand the meaning behind the other's actions.

"Southeast..."

He muttered to himself, "The southeast of the Galar region is the Carlos region and the Padia region. Could it be that the tortoise sensed the presence of another Talebagas and gave me this guidance?"

Just as he was about to ask, Talebagos' body shone brightly again. This time, including him, Ponpon and the Sky-Breaking Flame, all had Tai Crystal energy appear on their bodies, and it resonated with the Tai Crystal crystal in Rico's backpack.

This also means that the time travel they experienced all stemmed from the influence of the same Talebagos, belonging to the other's power...

Mingyou was silent for a moment, then looked at the other person and asked, "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"

"Plop..."

Talebagos nodded slightly, then the light around his body completely dissipated, and he fell directly to the ground. Rico quickly stepped forward and caught him, but she herself lost her balance and slipped, falling onto the snow.

She got up and sat on the snow, only to find that Talebagos had already fallen asleep, perhaps from exhaustion.

Fried's intuition was always quite sharp, and he had noticed everything that had just happened, including Mingyou's reaction, and thus came to a conclusion.

"Your time travel was all caused by the same Talebages, capable of connecting to so many different timelines. Perhaps its power has already begun to spiral out of control, and it will only get worse!"

"That's what I think too. Perhaps this is one aspect of the Dharma-ending Age..."

Mingyou sighed softly. It seemed that Milton and Iron Warrior's time travel was also affected by this Talebagas, but since the other party was in their own time and space at the time, the effects of time travel were concentrated in the Padia region.

Since the other party is in this time and space, everyone has come here by chance. Keldeo and Ironleaf were connected to themselves by mistake when they traveled through time, otherwise they would have been sent to this time and space first.

Based on simple reasoning, Talebagos should still be located in the Galar region, or not too far away, perhaps on an island somewhere between Galar, Carlos, and Padia...

This is the most likely possibility!

Furthermore, it's crucial to understand who exactly is capturing Talebagos and even managing to travel through multiple timelines to arrive here.

"Could it be the Dream Exploration Team?"

Lico whispered this guess: these people have been eyeing Talebagos.

But she took it back as soon as she said it. After all, the Dream Exploration Team had been keeping an eye on her recently, so it was obviously unlikely. She couldn't very well say that they wanted to catch two of them, could she?

"No……"

Mingyou shook his head. The other person's words had given him some ideas. After pondering for a long time, he said, "What they want is you, this Talebagas, not the one that has been sleeping in other dimensions. We can't generalize, so it's possible!"

Listening to their conversation, Fried offered a guess: "Could it be that there's another force involved? And they've partnered with the Dream Exploration Team?"

"Hmm...that's possible."

Since we have never been able to make real contact with the enemy, the only clue we have is that they possess a Zygarde, so this is the only speculation we can have for now.

They've become like headless flies...

Mingyou was about to ask Xiaozhao to help him analyze the situation again, but at that moment, an important piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind.

He wasn't alone; he had an investigation team with him. Peony was lying in ambush next to Bai Leiya. Bai Leiya always gave him a very suspicious feeling. This time, it was Bai Leiya who took the initiative to say that she could take Xiaoqing and the others back. Perhaps we could start from Bai Leiya!

But we still need to find the Queen of the Rachelnes first...

"Mmm~"

Ponpo let out a soft cry and handed its Rotom phone to Mingyou. The Rotom phone had such a deep bond with Mingyou that it could almost instantly tell what she was thinking.

This phone's Rotom has been tuned by Kirlia, who learned it from Peony, so Kirlia can be asked to help with the tuning.

"Uh... I completely forgot about that. I've been so busy these past few days."

Mingyou patted his forehead, released Kirlia from its Poké Ball, and asked the other person to help him set up his Rotom phone. Then he took Ponpo's phone, which did have a signal, and called Peony.

Ding, ding, ding—

After ringing for a while, the other party finally answered: "Ponpo, please don't call me anymore. It's tiring to understand my cries through a screen..."

"it's me."

"Number... Eh?!?"

"Is there any need to be so surprised!"

"You're not alright!"

"..."

Mingyou took a deep breath to calm herself down. Luckily, Millerton wasn't here, otherwise he would have gone through the internet to the real world. Who curses people like that!

Knowing that Peony was just like that, he didn't bother arguing with her and asked directly, "Where are you guys now? Big Milk Tank...where's Bai Leiya?"

Hearing his questions, Peony immediately lowered her voice and said, "We're in Waterfowl Town in the Galar region. Miltank said it would take us to find a Pokémon called Talebagas."

"Did she really say that to you?"

"Yes, she has an original copy of the Book of Zhu, which scared that guy Pipa. Anyway, we don't understand it, but Big Milk Tank seems to know a lot about the contents of the book. He said that it's all related to Talebagos and that we can go back as long as we find it."

"..."

Mingyou pondered for a long time, not expecting Bai Leiya to reveal so much, trying to gain their trust? Or did she genuinely just want to find Talebagos and return? It was hard to say…

While he was deep in thought, Peony whispered, "There's something else. Neither Pipa nor I trust her. A while ago, we took advantage of her going to take a shower. Pipa covered for me, and I went to investigate. Unexpectedly, we found some chat messages on her Rotom phone that hadn't been completely deleted, but that I found suspicious."

"Chat messages?"

"Yes, due to time constraints and fear of being discovered, I didn't keep any information. The information concerns the influence of Taijing energy on spacetime..."

"Anything else?"

"That's it. She was very cautious. I only found these things after analyzing her phone data. There was no time or date, but the message was sent to someone named Zhenxing."

"Wait...who?"

"Zhenxing, what a strange name."

"..."

After a brief conversation, Mingyou told the other party to be careful and then put down his phone. Rotom looked very serious; he might have grasped some of the truth... This time, their opponents were likely a group of formidable individuals.

Fried and Lico didn't interrupt his phone conversation until then, when Fried asked in a heavy tone, "What's wrong?"

"While it's not entirely certain, if this is true, it could be very troublesome."

Mingyou sighed softly, and after sorting through the information in his mind, said, "The person capable of doing this, of crossing time and space to capture Talebagos, is probably... a remnant of the Galactic Team from our world!"
