Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

With both players ready, Xia Chen immediately announced, "The battle shall now begin!"

Although it was a match that couldn't even be considered an exhibition game, you could clearly see the seriousness with which Cynthia and Gadlia were taking this battle.

Intense fighting spirit clashed in the air as the two threw out their pre-prepared Poké Balls, two flashes of white light streaking past.

"I've chosen you, Miss Goth!"

"It's up to you, Flower Rock Monster!"

------

Outside on the battlefield, Cynthia and Gadriya were locked in a fierce battle.

Inside the room, Kirlia was also engaged in a crucial battle within the [Mysterious Dungeon] instance in the simulator.

Kirlia has had the simulator for over a year now, but she still hasn't even cleared the first world, [Mystery Dungeon].

One reason is indeed that Kirlia's initial strength was limited, but another important reason is naturally the "candy farming" bug she discovered a few months ago.

However, despite farming candies, Kirlia continued to play through the Simulation World storyline as usual.

At first, she thought the first instance was just a world where you simply fight monsters, level up, and do quests.

But when the "thief" forest lizard and the "explorer" night demon appeared, the whole plot suddenly became interesting.

After several months of travel, Kirlia finally began to uncover the truth about this world.

Chapter 214 The Truth of the Labyrinth World (Including Simulator Content)

(Chapter 166, connecting to the simulated world storyline)

Meanwhile, Kirlia and her partner Pikachu, in order to prevent the [Star Stop] phenomenon from occurring, came to the Quicksand Cave to capture the Forest Lizard who stole the [Gear of Time].

As the main characters, they naturally separated from the main group and arrived at the forest lizard's crime scene first.

But this forest lizard was exceptionally powerful; even Azelf was no match for it, so how could Kirlia and Pikachu possibly stop it?

After several fierce battles, the two elves inevitably fell to the forest lizard's hands.

Just as the Gears of Time were about to be stolen by the Forest Lizards, at the crucial moment, Azelf sealed the entire Crystal Lake with crystal, preventing the Forest Lizards from obtaining the Gears of Time.

[Then, Dusknoir appeared just in time and rescued you and your partner Pikachu, before leaving to track down a Forest Lizard.]

You and your companions returned to the Jigglypuff Guild. Shortly after, the Night Demon arrived, but it failed to capture the Forest Lizard.

[Then, the Night Demon revealed himself to be a spirit from the future, explaining that in that future world, after the Gear of Time was stolen by the Forest Lizard, the entire world descended into chaos due to the "Star Stoppage." Everyone believed him and joined him in plotting to capture the Forest Lizard.]

A few days later, the Night Demon successfully captured the Forest Lizard. The members of the Fat Koding Guild held a farewell ceremony for the Night Demon in the plaza. At that moment, a portal to the future world opened.

[Several Sableye under Duskwood's command are pushing the roped Forest Lizard through the portal. At this moment, Duskwood wants to hug you and your partner Pikachu goodbye.]

Just as you and Pikachu stepped forward, Dusknoir suddenly grabbed you and dragged you into a time portal. Before any of the Pokémon could react, you passed through a time tunnel and arrived in the future.

[Your vision is plunged into darkness...]

…………

Hiss... So this Night Demon was the real villain!

This pure storyline, devoid of any combat, made Kirlia realize something.

It seems that I, all the elves in the guild, and even Azelf and the others have been deceived by the Night Demon.

So, is that forest lizard, wrongly accused by the Night Demon, the real hero who wants to save the world?

With questions in mind, Kirullian continued the simulation.

You, Pikachu, and Sceptile awaken in a dark dungeon...

[The Soul-Hooking Eye, a subordinate of the Night Demon, entered the prison, blindfolded you, and took you to the execution ground, preparing to put you to death.]

[The moment the rope snapped in the Grim Reaper's grasp, the Forest Lizard used the Illumination Orb. The instantaneous burst of light from the Illumination Orb caused Grim Reaper and the Night Demon to be temporarily blinded.]

Meanwhile, the Forest Lizard uses its Dig ability to burrow, taking you and Pikachu underground, allowing you to escape.

After escaping, you are shocked to find that the world is exactly as the Night Demon described: time has stopped... the seasons no longer change... the entire world is shrouded in darkness. But you are curious why the Gears of Time weren't stolen, and why the Stars Still Stopped.

The forest lizard left without explanation, heading to find Celebi. After some thought, you and Pikachu decide to follow him, uncover the truth of the future world, and find a way back to the past.

So, you and Pikachu chased each other into a maze...

…………

Once inside the maze, it's time for Kirlia's favorite part: leveling up and fighting monsters.

Perhaps because she spent too much time exploiting bugs to farm candies in the previous levels, Kirlia has transformed into the Sword God of Ten Mile Slope.

In short, it was a massacre!

After cutting through the maze with ease, Kirullian arrived at the bottom level and was surprised to find that the Forest Lizard was being controlled by a Flower Rock Monster.

Undoubtedly, the Flower Rock Monster is the biggest boss in this maze dungeon.

A Pokémon that can control a Forest Lizard is certainly not to be underestimated. Fortunately, it had to be distracted by the Forest Lizard, which gave Kirlia and Pikachu the opportunity.

After a fierce battle, Kirlia cleared this dungeon in one life.

After rescuing the forest lizard, a dramatic storyline unfolds.

You and Pikachu rescued the Grovyle. After communicating with it, the Grovyle told you the truth about the Star Stoppage that occurred in the future world...

[At some point in the future, the star stop occurs, and the collapse of the Tower of Time, controlled by Dialga, begins.]

Dialga is a legendary spirit capable of manipulating time, maintaining the normal operation of the Tower of Time. However, when the Tower of Time began to collapse, time in this world fell into chaos. Ultimately, the entire planet came to a standstill, resulting in its current state.

[But once time crumbled, Dialga lost its sanity, its consciousness gradually swallowed by darkness. Now, it has become a completely different being: Dark Dialga!]

[Dark Dialga exists for only one purpose: to allow its current consciousness to dominate its body. Therefore, it seeks to prevent any alteration of history, to maintain the state of stellar stasis in this world, and to preserve the dominance of its own dark consciousness.]

There is only one way to stop the Starfall: collect all five Gears of Time and place them in specific locations within the Tower of Time. This will prevent the Tower of Time from collapsing and stop the Starfall.

Therefore, Dark Dialga dispatched the assassin Night Demon to assassinate the forest lizard who wanted to collect the Gears of Time to save the world.

…………

The plot twist wasn't too unexpected for Kirlia.

Then, the main storyline of his own world gradually became clear.

That is to collect the Gears of Time with the Forest Lizard and change the future where [Star Stop] occurs.

Next, Kirlia will go with the forest lizard to find Celebi and teleport them back to the world before the Star Stop occurred.

After a journey, you meet a shrine. She guides you across a forest platform to a time corridor at the end of the labyrinth, through which you will travel back in time.

However, at this very moment, Dark Dialga, leading the Night Demons and the Soul Reapers, arrived here, intending to prevent you from returning to the past and altering history.

Just as you are about to be attacked by Dark Dialga and his minions, you remind Celebi that you can use short-range time travel to reach the Time Corridor.

The instant the Sableye army launched their attack, Celebi immediately began time travel. Although Dark Dialga reacted quickly and prepared to interrupt your time travel with Dark Time Roar, you had already arrived in the Time Corridor before the attack could be unleashed.

[The Dark Roar destroyed the Time Corridor, but before it did, you, Pikachu, and Grovyle managed to enter and travel back in time, returning to the past. Celebi was left alone to fight Dark Dialga and its minions.]

Kirlia's vision went completely black. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself out of that dark future world and back in the timeline where the story began.

Undoubtedly, the next step is the journey to collect the Gears of Time.

…………

After revealing the truth about this world to their guildmates, the guild leader, Jigglypuff, and his companions expressed their belief and support for them.

With the help of his companions and the forest lizard, the process of collecting the five Gears of Time went smoothly.

Kirlia only needed three simulations, or one month, to collect all five.

After collecting all the Gears of Time, the story will come to an end.

Kirlia, Pikachu, and Sceptile will enter a place called [Dreamland], where the Tower of Time is located.

As we all know, evil villains are always an indispensable part of the journey to save the world.

Just as Kirlia and her companions arrived in the Dreamland and were about to board the Rainbow Stone Ship to head to the Tower of Time, the Night Demon appeared, as expected.

This Night Demon is incredibly powerful; the most obvious evidence of this is that Kirlia was stuck on this level for another month.

After the fourth simulated challenge, Kirlia and the other two Pokémon finally joined forces and barely defeated Night Demon.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The Night Demon still wanted to put up a final resistance, but the Forest Lizard had no choice but to sacrifice itself, forcibly taking the Night Demon back to the future world with it.

Before parting, the forest lizard told you a cruel truth: if history were to change, it would mean that all the spirits of the future world would disappear.

[Dark Dialga, Night Demon, Forest Lizard, and of course, you from the future!]

I... come from the future?

Kirlian was stunned. When the simulated world began, wasn't she in the present timeline? How could she be from the future?

In the final minutes before the forest lizard disappeared, he recounted the truth about Kirullian's appearance in this world and her initial loss of memory.

…………

Before you lost your memory, you and the forest lizard were partners, working together to stop the Starfall. Because you possess the ability to summon time and space, you were a major threat to Dark Dialga.

During an operation to stop the Starfall, you were unfortunately defeated by Dark Dialga. Fortunately, Celebi arrived in time to save you and sent you back to the past before the Tower of Time collapsed—the beach where you awoke.

What follows is everything you will experience in this world...

Kirlia gradually came to understand everything. No wonder she had lost her memory, and no wonder the Night Demon had captured her and brought her to the future world, intending to execute her...

This is because he possesses the [Call of Time] ability, which can threaten Dark Dialga.

After telling Kirullian all this, the forest lizard disappeared from the world.

He did not die, but returned to that future world where time had collapsed and darkness reigned.

However, if Kirlia places the five Gears of Time in the correct positions and changes the future, the Forest Lizard will disappear into the annals of history along with that world.

Of course, that includes myself...

Kirullian suddenly felt a little dazed.

Although it's a simulated world similar to a game, she's been in this world for a year now, and she must have some feelings for this world and her companions.

But according to the course of the world, in the future, this world will not exist.
