Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 344 Pokémon of Dreams and the Moon

Thanks to Link's management, the elves were not seriously injured, and the examination and treatment did not take too long.

While waiting for the medical examination report with Ergui Peng, he also reflected on where he had failed in his previous match.

The original regression Gaioka must be paired with the corresponding star crystallized Talebagas, no problem. What else?
The fact that Ergui Peng, who was included in the lineup but didn't even get a chance to play and just slacked off until the end of the match, proves that his planning for this match was not thorough enough.

Of course, conversely, it also means that he left a lot of room for maneuver in his plans in case of unforeseen circumstances.

But after each complex, varied, and difficult battle, Link inevitably thinks about questions such as "What if I had chosen XXX here?" or "What if I hadn't chosen XXX here?"

Unfortunately, the biggest difference between reality and games is that you can't start over. Even if you review the game in your mind many times, it's hard to confirm your own ideas.

Therefore, he has recently been considering whether it is possible to add a replay function to Langrisser to replicate real-life matches...

Creating an impression-based projection in a dream is not difficult, but such a projection does not possess the power and thoughts of the real entity, and therefore cannot serve as a practice exercise.

"Xiaolin, you're here! Congratulations on winning the semi-finals."

A familiar voice came from not far away.

Link looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Zhu Lan, who had been specially invited to watch the game.

This intellectual scholar was also dressed in black today, his hair seemingly disheveled by the sudden downpour at the end of the battle.

“I heard from Cattleya that you and she have been having rendezvous in your dreams lately.”

"Boni?"

It's true, but it sounds really strange.

Link felt conflicted, thinking to himself that he had thought Zhu Lan had come to ask Talebagos to use "Zeroing Realm" to repair the antiques.

In fact, Zhu Lan didn't even realize that "Zeroing Realm" had any connection with time and space.

"There are other people inside, but not all of them are trainers."

Zhu Lan also heard about this, as well as the conditions for entering the Dream Realm.

Almost all the conditions were easy to meet, except for the fact that she possessed "superpowers," which blocked the vast majority of humans, leaving her feeling helpless as she wanted to enter and experience top-level battles.

But soon Zhu Lan thought of the idea that humans are also a kind of spirit, so how do those spirits who do not have "superpowers" enter the dream realm?

"Do you really think other people are incapable of entering the Dream Realm?" Zhu Lan cut straight to the point. "Is it possible that the real requirement is strong mental power?"

Upon hearing this, Link explained, "Mental strength is important, but just like releasing the 'Thunderbolt' attack, you have to first emit a guiding current before the subsequent lightning can launch its attack."

Superpowers are key to obtaining the coordinates of the Dream Realm.

If you can't even get in, no matter how outstanding your mental strength is, it's useless.

"But this means that it's not only humans with special superpowers like you, Cattleya, and Yaxuan who can enter. There may be other ways to enter the Dream Realm."

Link shrugged, thinking to himself that it was indeed true. In the future, scholars from Unova would develop a method to enter the Dream Realm through the dreams of spirits, but right now the person developing this technology was still a little girl.

Cynthia was unaware of this, but had recently conducted a survey on dreams in the Sinnoh region.

She discovered records of people "entering another world after falling asleep," as well as some cases of people becoming so engrossed in their dreams that they could never wake up.

Even more extreme claims have surfaced, with some stating that their location changed before and after they went to sleep, and that they ended up in mysterious places.

Even within the Sinnoh League, there have been instances of people falling asleep in the Elite Four's room and waking up to find themselves inexplicably in Flower Paradise.

This isn't Alice's fairy tale; it's a much more real-life example. "Why would anyone sleep in one of the Four Heavenly Kings' rooms?" Link quipped.

"I understand, managing the Pokémon League is indeed a tedious and boring task."

That's not the point.

According to the various pieces of information that Zhu Lan has investigated, it is enough to prove that humans can also accidentally enter the dream world under certain special circumstances. What she wants to do is to artificially interfere with this process and actively "accidentally" enter the dream realm.

Coincidentally, there are two Pokémon in the Sinnoh region whose abilities are related to dreams.

"Krillin, have you ever heard of the Pokémon of Dream and Moon?"

How could Link not know?

"You mean Cresselia and Darkrai, right? It's said that if you sleep with the former's feather, you'll have a sweet dream, while the latter will create nightmares that drive people and elves out of their territory."

Zhu Lan nodded. Legend has it that the Crescent Moon Feather can bring sweet dreams, but what if the holder wants to enter the dream realm?

The superpowers originating from Cresselia may grant the holder's dreams.

Link fell into deep thought. If Cynthia's conjecture could come true, they would have the opportunity to invite other trainers into the Dream Realm to fight in a Dream Simulation Battle.

But... isn't Zhu Lan really a superpowered person?

As a descendant of the ancient Sinnoh people, did she inherit nothing except her ancestral one-eyed hairstyle?
"Miss Zhulan, have you tried entering the Dream Realm before?"

"Of course, it's just a pity that I don't seem to have the talent for it."

Zhu Lan laughed, "If Link could have gotten in, he would have seen her in Langrisser long ago."

Link hesitated, assuming that the true talent of the Super Sinnoh humans lay elsewhere.

He decided to ask Dream about it tonight.

Meanwhile, Cynthia plans to go to Full Moon Island to find Cresselia's feather after this incident is over.

Just then, the Pokémon Center's loudspeaker announced that he should go and retrieve his Pokémon and report back.

Link hurriedly said goodbye to Cynthia and went to the front desk of the Pokémon Center.

"Mr. Kobayashi, your Pokémon has fully recovered, and the Poké Balls have also been repaired."

He took the Poké Ball out of sheer curiosity and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Nurse Joy, you can even fix Poké Balls?"

"No, there are dedicated personnel to handle the relevant matters, and replacing the chip isn't that troublesome."

Even if it's damaged beyond repair, we can just replace it with a new ball.

Link suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I really thought Joey knew healing magic or something like that."

After retrieving his Pokémon and the report, he didn't linger at the Pokémon Center and immediately flew back to the Kanto region on his Dragonite.

However, as soon as they arrived at their own ranch, they saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure waiting at the door.

Ashida knew that no matter how elusive Link was, he was sure to spawn if he camped out at his doorstep.

"Krillin, I just received news that Pokémon and the Doubles Tournament have experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity, with many advertisers and even the League sending out collaboration invitations. Do you have any ideas about this?"

"Maybe this is the effect of celebrities."
