This world is actually made up of multiple dimensions.

The reality where humans and Pokémon live normally, the underworld where the dead go, the gap where the lake gods live, the time realm and the space realm where the twin dragons of time and space live...

——And the reverse world that Giratina lives in.

"I see, this is the red chain."

Nan Xian understood the secret of the red chain.

From the beginning, when the Claw of Uxhi was first acquired, the God of Knowledge spoke the truth.

But Nan Xian at that time could not fully understand the reason, because humans and Pokémon are different after all. Compared with the lake gods who symbolize the essence of the mind, she does not have the same abilities as them.

The claws of Yuxi, the wings of Emrido, and the fangs of Akonum.

All three were said by the Gods of the Lake themselves, and they are all part of the soul. After Nan Xian obtained the entire soul, the Gods of the Lake appeared and used their abilities to shape the red chain.

——Therefore, the essence of the red chain is the so-called mind itself.

"The twin dragons of time and space created the foundation of the material world, but only after the birth of the mind can life correctly perceive the world."

Nan Xian muttered to himself, saying words that even Zhu Lan couldn't quite understand.

Only Nan Xian could understand all these secrets at the beginning of creation. Therefore, at this moment, the girl holding the red chain would reveal an increasingly mysterious temperament.

“…I have seen through the truth!”

Nan Xian's eyes exuded a radiant aura, and he felt happier.

Not only did he solve the problem that had puzzled him for a long time, Nan Xian also understood why he was able to control the red chains to suppress Giratina in the simulation.

Just as she had initially guessed, because the red chain represented the essence of the mind, this mythical item would produce different effects depending on the mind of the user.

Under the shackles of the red chains, even the strongest bodies must face the collision of each other's minds. If they cannot resist, the weak will inevitably fall into defeat and be controlled.

There is no need to say much about Nan Xian's will in the simulation. Giratina was suppressed by her like this, so why did he become afraid of the girl after the simulation ended? Nan Xian now understands a little.

A truly strong person requires not only physical strength, but also mental strength which is equally important.

Giratina, which has reached level 70, is indeed not weak, but it is no match for the girl's strong will. Coupled with the suppression of the red chain, it finally had to flee in panic, and even left a psychological trauma.

After figuring this out, Nan Xian could start thinking about another problem.

——Then, between me and Giratina, whose spirit is stronger?

The answer is self-evident.

The scarlet crystals formed into a circle, floating in Nan Xian's palm. While the girl was thinking briefly, the light on the lake gods began to dissipate.

"Cha~!"

Emrido, who was at the center, called out to Nanxian, as if saying goodbye, and then without hesitation, his figure disappeared in the light and returned to Xinqi Lake, where it belonged.

"Joe um~!"

"Qiu-hmm~!"

The same is true for Yukihi and Akonome.

It was not until the figures of the Lake Gods completely disappeared that Nan Xian, who was still holding the red chain, heard footsteps beside him.

"Nan Xian!"

Zhulan couldn't wait to come over, staring at the red chain, asking questions like a machine gun.

"What on earth did you communicate with the gods of the lake just now? And this object looks so magical. Did you come to Lizhi Lake to look for Akonom just to get it?!"

"Wait, Sister Zhulan, you have too many questions."

Nan Xian took a step back without leaving a trace.

"I'll explain it to you slowly. Anyway, let's get out of the cave first."

"……Too."

Zhulan calmed down.

Although Akonom has left, the two are still inside the lake cave of Lizhi Lake. Strictly speaking, this is another dimension separated from reality.

Zhulan didn't mind staying a little longer. After all, such a rare opportunity to get close to the residence of the lake gods would probably only come once in a lifetime.

——But this is Akonom’s residence.

If you stay in someone else's house and refuse to leave, you might be punished.

Therefore, although Zhulan felt a little regretful, she still followed Nanxian obediently and left the cave first.

When the two men stepped out of the cave one after another, there was a loud bang, and the rock in the center of the lake immediately became intact again.

Seeing this, Zhulan was amazed.

After that, they did not go too far from Lizhi Lake. They just found an open space on the shore to camp. Nan Xian began to answer the question about the bamboo orchids piled up into a mountain.

……

Compared to the existence of the gods of the lake, whether the records in reality can be compared with the actual performance, and other such issues, Zhulan did not put them at the top of her priority list.

Now that she had seen their true forms, it was only a matter of later considerations. What Zhulan was most curious about was the red chain.

Ever since walking out of the cave, the red chain disappeared from Nan Xian's hand unknowingly, but Zhu Lan intuitively felt that Nan Xian could still control the chain at any time.

——Even in the mountains of books and materials in the Water Vein Library, no book has ever mentioned the word red chain.

When Nan Xian asked back, Zhu Lan gave a very affirmative answer.

"Um……"

Then Nan Xian fell into deep thought again.

Nan Xian intuitively thought that getting the red chain was something she could accomplish at any time, but after actually getting the item, she still had some problems.

The first is the record about the red chain.

In fact, even in the Xicui area, except for the mysterious lady named Wusi whom he met in the simulation, Nan Xian had never heard of the red chain from other humans.

If Wusi is also a fictional character in the simulation, it is not incomprehensible.

But Nan Xian clearly remembered that Wusi looked very similar to Zhulan, as if he was Zhulan's ancestor.

The two of them have somewhat similar temperaments. Considering this, unless Zhulan's family heirloom has been lost, the story of the red chain has never been passed down in ancient Xicui.

Nan Xian thinks the latter is more likely.

History is inherently ambiguous, but at certain key points, changes in the world line can be very obvious.

...Because Nan Xian himself had personally changed the history of Xicui.

It was she who delivered a Flying Wing Ball to Xiaozhao after she accidentally traveled to Xicui. Xiaozhao, a talented craftsman, was able to develop the Shuttle Ball based on the Flying Wing Ball.

Such history can be verified in the records of the Shuimai Library, so Nan Xian had doubts.

Even if there were records of red chains in the Sinnoh region in the original world line, after making a fuss in Cui Xi, it might be possible for him to go to Cui Xi again in the future to make more changes to history.

Although Nan Xian is not sure whether things that have not happened yet can change the current modern situation, the possibility always exists. If even Zhulan does not know about the red chain, then the possibility of others knowing this item will become even lower.

"I'm sorry, Sister Zhulan."

Thinking of this, Nan Xian swallowed back the words he was about to say and replaced them with another one.

"I can only tell you that the name of this item is the Red Chain. As for its effects and uses, they are all forbidden matters that cannot be spoken out loud."

"Eh...how could this happen?"

Zhulan was very disappointed.

However, Zhulan, whose disappointment was evident in her words, did not press Nanxian any further. Besides her gentle and considerate nature, the words that Nanxian emphasized deliberately also played a role.

——After all, this is a mysterious item related to the gods of the lake.

Zhulan understood very well that since it involved a legendary Pokémon, especially a special existence like the Lake Gods, the fewer people who knew the secret, the better.

Just as Zhulan would never make the existence of the Lake Gods known to the public, it is understandable that Nanxian wants to conceal the secret of the red chain.

After taking some time to adjust her mood, Zhulan sorted out the doubts in her mind and slowly and carefully asked unimportant questions, trying to see if she could understand the answers.

Except for the red chain, Nan Xian could tell Zhulan the answers to most other questions.

Because in the original world line, Zhulan would also investigate the historical truth of Sinnoh. Even if she didn't learn it from her own mouth, as long as she investigated more ruins and looked for books in places like her home and the Shuimai Library to verify it, she would be able to completely figure out the whole story in the end.

...As for the matter of the red chain, it would be the best thing if I could cut off the clues to myself.

Nan Xian's memory is very clear. She still remembers what she knew might have happened when she was playing games in her previous life.

There have always been many conspirators and ambitious people in this world.

Just like Ross, there is also a villain lurking in the Sinnoh region who is plotting a shocking conspiracy. His name is Red Sun.

The leader of the Galaxy team, Red Sun!

This Galaxy Team is not the same as that Galaxy Team. Although the name is exactly the same as the Galaxy Team during the Xicui period, unlike the Xicui Galaxy Team that built Zhuqing Village and wanted to take root in Xicui, the real Galaxy Team is an illegal group.

They are active in the Sinnoh region, causing chaos everywhere, but their goals are all to achieve the ideals of their leader, Akagi.

——Create a new world.

In the original work, Chi Ri captured the gods of the lake and forcibly created the red chains. He used the red chains to control the twin dragons of time and space, wanting to combine their power to create a new material universe.

Because of some bad experiences in the past, this man basically has no attachment to reality, and his empty heart can hardly let go of anything.

Chi Ri, who hates emotions extremely, cannot tolerate the existence of mind in the new universe. He wants to destroy the original world and only create a universe without mind.

Ignoring the conspiracy itself, Chi Ri can be said to be a brilliant character. He almost created a new universe. If the protagonist of the game had not been better and thwarted Chi Ri's conspiracy, the outcome would be another story.

After knowing the nature of the red chain, Nan Xian could understand why Chi Ri could use the red chain to suppress the twin dragons of time and space, but because of this, she had to be on guard against the same thing happening in reality.

Hiding all the information about the red chain is one thing, and on the other hand, Nan Xian is also preparing to inform Zhulan of the danger of the Galaxy Team.

Although he didn't want to be involved in these conspiracies all year round, Nan Xian got the red chain from the gods of the lake, so he would try his best to give back if he could.

——I, Nan Xian, am not a mean person who is ungrateful!

Having said that, Nan Xian doesn't have the energy to personally arrest the lawbreakers of the Galaxy Team.

This organization is spread all over Sinnoh, and the key personnel are well hidden. Even if Nan Xian has enough ability to get to the bottom of it and really uncover all the hidden dangers, it will take at least a year or two.

Just as Nan Xian wanted to do something, Zhu Lan also had her responsibilities.

"Criminal?"

"That's right!"

Nan Xian said something with a serious look on his face that made Zhulan fall into deep thought.

"From the Lake Gods, I can see that this region is in danger. Perhaps there is some conspiracy going on in secret. I don't know the situation in Sinnoh, so I want to ask Sister Zhulan what she thinks."

"That should be the Galaxy team."

Zhulan came to a decisive conclusion.

"Sinnoh has no other established criminal gangs except Team Galactic. Even Interpol is troubled by them."

"——I didn't expect that they had a bigger conspiracy in secret. We must pay more attention to it in the future!"

Zhulan accompanied Nanxian to Lizhi Lake to investigate mythology and history, and met the legendary gods of the lake. As a mythologist, she felt very satisfied.

Next, as the Sinnoh champion, Bamboo Ran must also maintain regional order and crack down on illegal and disorderly behavior!

Especially the warning spoken by Nan Xian.

Zhulan may not believe anyone's words except Nanxian. She has personally seen the girl keep in touch with various legendary Pokémon. Since Nanxian said that there might be danger in the Sinnoh region, the situation might be really bad.

We must think of a way to contact Interpol first and see if we can get a special team to conduct preliminary investigations as soon as possible...

Thoughts raced through the Sinnoh Champion's mind.

Seeing that Zhulan completely believed what he said, Nan Xian also breathed a sigh of relief.

She was just making it up casually. Even though she was sure that her words contained a possibility for the future, Zhulan could easily believe it, which saved her a lot of explanation.

…I can’t completely relax either.

Nan Xian thought silently.

No one can predict what will happen in the future, especially after experiencing the Galar Dark Night incident, Nan Xian understands more clearly that one should never underestimate the determination and will of others.

"Sister Zhulan."

Therefore, Nan Xian specifically spoke up to remind him.
