Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 346 Isn't this HOME?

"Surprise!"

While Link was strategizing and planning his lineup late into the night, he went to the Treasure Cafe to relax and encountered Cynthia and Gadriya, who were enjoying tea.

Leaving aside Cattleya, the fact that Orchid Bamboo is here means...

"It seems the Crescent Feather really works?"

Zhu Lan nodded and added, "Using the Crescent Feather alone has no effect; it can only be used in conjunction with another item to enter this dream world."

That was the fabric-like material on Darkrai's body, which, according to ancient records, was called "Shadow of the New Moon".

Once a person gains the approval of the Pokémon of Dream and Moon, they can freely enter the Dream Realm.

However, gaining Darkrai's approval was somewhat difficult; Cynthia had to search through the antiques in God and Town for a long time before she finally found her.

“Actually, I think Dream Eclipse should be able to do this too,” Cattleya pondered, “but I haven’t succeeded yet.”

The housekeeper, Shi Lan, had been slept with by her many times recently, but so far she had not been able to successfully enter the dream realm even once.

Cynthia believed this was a topic worthy of study and decided to invite a trustworthy human to enter the area without disturbing Cresselia and Darkrai.

Aside from Langrisser—which she and Gadria had already tried before Link arrived—this world, which transcends time and space and allows communication with more spirits, is truly incredible.

Just now, an elf said she had been here before and challenged a place known as the "Dream Sky Battle," only to suffer a crushing defeat in the first round...

Zhu Lan was certain that she had never had such a memory; perhaps it was another version of herself from another world?
"Kobayashi, what do you think you would be like in another timeline? Would you still enjoy battling? Would you know more about history, mythology, and legends?"

Link shrugged. Perhaps his counterpart in another timeline used a fox-like beast instead of a fire fox.

Parallel universes do exist in this world (such as the hyper-evolution universe and the non-hyper-evolution universe), but there probably won't be another trainer like Link.

Cattleya murmured, "Another self... There seems to be a legend that you will die if you see another version of yourself, but that's probably nonsense."

"It shouldn't be. I heard that many people left messages for me at the coffee shop." Zhu Lan had gone to Dream to check before, but unfortunately she couldn't find hers.

But if I were to leave a letter for my other self in another world, what would I say?
Link, standing to the side, seemed thoughtful. It sounded a bit far-fetched. For example, what if he pretended to be Ash's father and left a message for Ash?
However, with the elves responsible for safekeeping and verification, this shouldn't have happened.

More than the comments, Link was concerned about: "I never thought there was such a way of thinking. Could we hold a grand battle event that transcends the world?"

"That sounds good."

Zhu Lan smiled broadly, as if she wanted to try hosting one right away.

Unfortunately, the thought that communication between different worlds is currently random and cannot be guaranteed to be delivered or present makes me feel somewhat frustrated.

"But before that, I plan to go on an adventure in the Pokémon world with the Pokémon!"

This is something that every trainer would be interested in after arriving here.

Even Ash had registered at Pokémon Park. After winning the Indigo League a while ago, he went to the Mysterious Dungeon after reporting to Professor and Hanako.

“I haven’t gone yet… I’ll resign from my position at the Battle Castle later.” Gadriya glanced at Cynthia subconsciously and complained with resentment, “But the Sinnoh League would never let their champion go to another world, do you think they would believe your words like ‘I’ll be right back’?” Cynthia fell silent.

Link, who also works in the Battle Frontier but sneaks out to play every day, remained silent.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Gadriya added, "Don't even think about sneaking over there. What do you think would happen if the Sinnoh Champion's coordinates suddenly disappeared from the Poké Ball management system?"

"Well, it seems I'll have to wait until someone takes my place before I can go out with peace of mind..."

Cattleya nodded. "Yes, if we're going, let's go together!"

Nevertheless, they could still explore the secrets of the dream realm to their heart's content until then.

Besides the main island, Pokémon Park, and the Dream Tree at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, there are actually many other areas to explore.

When humans arrive here, the floating islands can be decorated and planted as they please, and people can exchange trees that ripen very quickly with others.

Previously, Gadria had traded Star Peach Fruits with Link, and the elves who ate them all said they were delicious.

Recently, she discovered that the true forms of humans and spirits can not only move through the dream realm, but can also physically enter this place.

This means that both humans and elves can live normally in this world.

However, due to their mental limitations, humans will be ejected in no time.

However, Pokémon can actually choose to live on the main island or sky island of the Dream Realm, which is at least more reliable than leaving them in someone else's backyard or Pokémon Center. They can even find a way to bring their Pokémon out when they are out and about without internet access, which is a very convenient feature for trainers.

Link thought to himself that he couldn't let the turtle hear him say this... even though it had almost adapted to reality recently.

"and many more."

He suddenly realized: "You mean the Dream Realm has the potential to replace the Pokémon Storage System?"

In reality, storage systems also exist, but unlike in games, they don't exist in a virtual box.

Taking Bill's Pokémon Refurbishment System in the Kanto region as an example, a large portion of the Pokémon that trainers store at Pokémon Centers are actually transferred to Professor Oak's Lab in Pallet Town, while another portion are stored in the hands of some professional breeders.

Alternatively, trainers can choose to transfer the trainer to someone they trust to take care of.

However, if you can place the spirit in the dream realm during your trip, apart from the inconvenience of taking it out (but Makomo should be able to solve this problem after developing the C-device in the future), it would be almost the perfect vacation spot.
A place where you can store your Pokémon in the cloud, theoretically with unlimited space, and easily take care of them...

Isn't this Pokémon HOME?!
"How could that be?" Gadriya waved her hand and complained, "I don't want this pure land to be disturbed by all sorts of people and their distracting thoughts. You also need to carefully select the candidates to enter the Dream Realm."

Come to think of it, Link realized he was overthinking things.

If someone were to use Dreamland as their home for purely practical purposes, regardless of whether problems would arise, alpacas would likely come knocking on their door to cause trouble.

"Hmm, Cynthia, do you have any extra Crescent Feathers and New Moon Shadows? I'm planning to bring some for Professor Oak."
