Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 363 Daigo chooses to call off-site audience for help.
A generator that generates dark-attribute energy can indeed hinder the interference of psychic Pokémon to some extent.

However, this is by no means a foolproof solution; sabotaging the device or causing a large-scale power outage could interrupt the blockade of superpowers.

However, once the machine malfunctions, it becomes extremely difficult to defend against it by relying solely on humans and spirits. At the very least, ordinary spirits do not possess the skill of reading "teleportation" psychic waves to predict the opponent's location.

Although Steven's Metagross could do that, it couldn't possibly monitor every corner of the research facility on its own.

If the phantom thief had mastered techniques such as "teleportation," "field swapping," "switching," "magic tricks," and similar moves, it wouldn't be entirely impossible for him to steal Deoxys if he was caught off guard.

On the other hand... Daigo inexplicably felt a connection to the phantom thief comparing Deoxys to the "Bamboo Princess".

But for this reason, he decided to do everything in his power to stop the Phantom Thief from stealing Deoxys and hinder Dr. Rondo's research into resurrecting Deoxys.

However, to be honest, Daigo doesn't know much about ancient texts, legends, or spirits like the fox thief, so he needs to find reliable outside help in this matter.

Xiao Lin was very knowledgeable and knew many ancient legends—the evaluation from Zhu Lan suddenly came to mind.

In every respect, Link is a powerful ally.

Therefore, Daigo decisively tried to contact the other party...

……

At the same time, in the city of Eurdran.

The festival's battle tournament proceeded smoothly, and no unusual events such as attacks by legendary or ancient Pokémon occurred.

Among all the contestants, the only male with a legendary Pokémon might be Ash, who brought Melmetal.

"Ash still chose this outfit."

In the stands, Link silently watched Ash's battle, who had inexplicably chosen the Aura Master outfit.

His opponent, who won right from the start, was already far stronger than the average trainer. Now, outside of major tournaments, he's practically a movie god of war, performing like a god in the Battle Tournament commemorating the Aura Hero.

With Link slacking off on the sidelines, the winner of this tournament is already obvious.

However, the more this happened, the less he felt satisfied.

I wasn't really interested beforehand, but once I saw others starting to play...

"How can a hero win without any obstacles? How about I take Pon to get a temporary report..."

Just as he was pondering whether to take Ursaring to ambush Ash, he turned around and saw two identical Pokémon standing on either side of him.

One was a 'Evil Spirit Phantom', and the other was also a 'Evil Spirit Phantom', both dressed in pink outfits that combined grass and demon forms, wearing fairy masks.

"Boni?"

"Boni?"

"Boni-ooh!?"

"Boni-ooh!?"

The two Evil Creatures then noticed each other, both looking quite surprised.

Seeing this, Link subconsciously retorted, "Dream, you're not Monini anymore, there's no need to imitate Evil Phantom."

"Boni!"

Yes!

The World Tree's dream then realized what was happening and lost synchronization.

"Fu?"

This time it doesn't seem to be Mu either.

"Muni~"

It's a myth, how could it not be?

The fire fox narrowed its eyes; it had long wanted to complain about Miao using its own voice as its name.

It seems that all the world's dreams can be called "Mew"!

"Eguipeng" covered its face and chuckled, thinking, "What's wrong with calling Miao 'Miao'?" Suddenly, it grabbed Eguipeng's sleeve and disappeared with him from before the two of them.

“That just now seemed to be a dream,” Queen Irene explained, noticing the commotion. “I’ve heard that it occasionally appears in towns, playing with elves and children, bringing happiness to those who see it.”

"Hmm, I think it probably just wants to play with the Evil Creeper."

Link and the fire fox exchanged a glance, not paying much attention.

Even if the game had no malicious intent, it's not certain who would attack whom...

Just then, Link noticed his navigator beeping.

Thanks to recent breakthroughs in communication technology, Devon's Pokémon Navigator has been upgraded to the Pokémon Multi-Function Navigator, gaining the ability to communicate in Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and surrounding (area with signal).

He looked at the screen and saw that it was a message from Daigo.

The problem is, it's a holiday now, so should we accept the offer or not?

Not long after, worried that the other party might have something urgent to contact him, he answered the phone.

"It's me, Xiaolin. Do you have some free time now? I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Link was intrigued that Daigo on the other end of the phone would rarely use the word "ask for advice."

"Fu~"

Fuchai guesses it's definitely related to stones, the history of stones, legends of stones, and spirits associated with stones, and there's a one percent chance it's about Gigantamax meteors... wait, meteors are stones too.

Link added, "Of course, but I might not be able to help you."

Daigo smiled and recounted the events that had occurred in Larousse City.

"Kobayashi, this phantom thief can't be you, right?"

"Fu!"

"If it were me, I would definitely draw a fire fox instead of a fox thief."

After a pause, Link added, "By the way, the Great Thief Fox can learn techniques like 'Stand,' 'Knock Off,' 'Baton Pass,' 'Thief,' 'Digging,' 'Threatening,' and 'Psychic Power.' Your guess might actually be true."

On the other hand, the characteristics of the Fox Thief are "escape", "lightly armed" and "ambush", which are indeed very much in line with the style of a "thief".

Upon hearing this, Daigo thought that the other party might be being modest. If he knew so much about such a remote and obscure area, he could definitely be of great help.

But why did he have some suspicion (about 0.1%) that Link was the phantom thief?

"Anyway, I've sent you the phantom thief's announcement..."

Not long after, Link received a picture and text message from Daigo.

"When the jade mirror hangs perfectly high to the west of the Purple Palace, the moon's radiance will flow from the seventh eaves."

"When the midnight dew soaks through the third drumbeat, the other shore flowers will naturally form a rainbow bridge beneath the Shadowless Palace."

"I will keep my promise when the reunited ones raise their heads to sip the fine wine, and exchange the jade branch plucked from Penglai for the moon's tear that sleeps in the crystal niche."

I see. No wonder Daigo asked the audience for help.

Although this German nobleman was indeed very learned, the contents of the notice were inevitably beyond the recipient's knowledge.

"Wang?"

What kind of nonsense is written on this?

"Fu~"

"Yes, it is indeed a riddle, but it focuses too much on piling up fancy words, so the answer isn't very clever."

Link leisurely reviewed the phantom thief's announcement, but a nagging thought crept into his mind.

The Hourai Jade Branch is a treasure in the possession of Kaguya Houraisan in Touhou Project, and it can be used to release spell cards.

What, there are Touhou Project series and ZUN gods in this world too??
