Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 326 Seaside Resort

Calling Link... To be precise, the place that calls Manaphy is a labyrinth located on a deserted island in the far sea of ​​the Grass Continent.

Upon arriving here, he could sense that something within was calling to him.

"Is it safe? Should I stay outside and wait for you instead of going in?"

Talebagos had a feeling that this inexplicable voice calling out to the other person might be dangerous. If the trainer really encountered something bad inside, someone would have to stay outside to call for help.

Yes, this weak, helpless, and pitiful elf is the perfect one to call for help!
"With our lineup, if something unexpected really happens, it should be the enemy who is worried about their own safety."

Link glanced at Talos, Mewtwo, Incineroar, Dragonite, and the scabbard of the accessory, the Money-Grubber, and himself, thinking, "Turtle, your strength has already increased, why are you still afraid of this and that?"
It evolved from being timid to being cautious, but it was still too cautious.

"That seems to be true...?"

"Let's go, what's there to be afraid of?"

After saying that, Dragonite took the lead and went straight into the maze.

Then the rest of the people and the elves entered one after another, and found that this incredible maze was much stranger than the dragon's den and tiger's lair they had expected.

It is not a den of dragons and tigers, but a golden land hiding countless treasures.

There were almost no Pokémon inside, and the Pokémon that did appear were of rather questionable strength.

Instead, there were gummy candies and treasure chests everywhere.

Link roughly counted and found that on average, each room contained five or six different colored gummies and a treasure chest.

These treasure chests are not mimicry monsters; they contain all sorts of items.

Seeing this, Mewtwo exclaimed in bewilderment, "Incredible! How can there be such a maze?"

While similar legends do exist, it had never heard of such a treasure-filled labyrinth.

"Why think so much? Isn't this a good thing?" The Blazing Roaring Tiger said dismissively.

As long as you are careful of traps, you can get a lot of gummies.

It's time to move on to the next level.

When the adventurers arrived at the second floor, they were once again greeted by treasures everywhere.

"Strange, is this the Cow Pass... Wait, I know."

After searching his memories, Link recalled a very obscure but fitting maze: "Could this be the 'Seaside Resort'?"

Arcanine shook its head: "I don't know."

It knows nothing.

Upon hearing this, Mewtwo realized this.

"So it's a seaside resort, that makes sense."

Among the many legends passed down by expedition teams, there are indeed several places that are particularly incredible even within the incredible labyrinth.

Seaside resorts are one of them.

The incredible maze doesn't expand indefinitely, and the items inside refresh periodically. So where did these missing items go?

The elves deduced that these items likely traveled somewhere along the ground, through lava, caves, and deep water.

According to rumors, the seaside resort is the place where all items that sink into the water and disappear during periodic refreshes are accommodated and retrieved.

Link suddenly realized: "So, it's the place in the maze mechanics where items are collected?"

Just as there are unknown graveyards of erasers in the world, the items that disappeared in the maze may have all gathered somewhere.

But if a seaside resort is one of them... Talebagos became even more confused: "What exactly is a labyrinth? How can there be such an incredible place? It sounds like someone deliberately created it for people to explore?"

Like a game, Link thought, but in reality, it must be the masterpiece of some being.

Mewtwo shook its head. The Pokémon of this world have always had many different opinions about the reason for the formation of the maze.

On the continent of grass, explorers believe that the labyrinths appeared due to a distortion of spacetime.

In the Land of Mist, adventurers believe that the appearance of dungeons is related to the flow of ley lines, and it is even said that Espeon and Umbreon have developed a technique to control ley lines to enter specific dungeons.

In addition, there is technology that uses mazes as a medium to travel to different worlds through portals...

"Hard to understand." The turtle stopped worrying about it.

Link thought that if he was really curious, he should climb to the top of the Tower of Destiny and ask the alpaca.

But to simply want to know the cause of the maze would be too wasteful of such a rare wish.

In any case, he and the elves had a great time at the seaside resort.

This maze has 19 floors and is generally more difficult than a spring outing. The group went uphill without encountering any obstacles.

When they reached the top, even Link's storage backpack was full, and he had to open treasure chests several times to make room.

When the group reached the final level, they were greeted by three luxurious treasure chests containing incredible gummy candies and one containing incredible hard candy...

After leaving the maze, this incredible maze at the seaside resort becomes temporarily inaccessible.

Link felt no regret; the trip had been very fruitful, enough for the elves to enjoy drinks to their hearts' content at the Shaky Class Cafe for the next month or two.

As for this maze, let's leave it to those who are destined to find it later.

Having completed their final adventure in the Pokémon world, they arrived at the Land of Mist as planned and returned to the human world with the help of the Great Gate.

More than ten days have passed, and the crops at Sprout Ranch are growing well, and the elves are also healthy. It seems that outsiders have not caused any more trouble for the ranch during this time.

The adventure team that had previously ventured into the maze, along with their companion, the Evil Phantom, had returned. Upon seeing Link in the distance, it happily ran over.

"Boni!"

"Okay, let's go on a maze adventure with the fire fox next time."

After the Ayakayuki Festival ends, it's time for a real vacation...

Mewtwo looked around and found that the human world was not as bad as it had imagined.

When it first heard about Team Rocket's illegal experiments, it thought this place would be even more chaotic and disorderly.

"Xiaolin, let's part ways here. I plan to travel around and learn how humans and elves can coexist."

"Bagogo?"

Talebagos didn't understand why Mewtwo needed to know this.
"Have you forgotten that the victims of this Star Stop incident included humans from the future? This means that the Pokémon world may come into contact with humans in the future."

What would the emergence of humankind bring to that world?
Is it good fortune or misfortune?
After hearing about the origins of their kind in this world, Mewtwo felt it was necessary to verify it personally.

"If we get the chance, let's go fight that Mewtwo together... See you later!"

Having said that, it flew into the sky and went straight away.

Link didn't care and went straight to meet up with the long-lost Fire Fox, carrying a backpack full of stuff.
