Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 373 This is an anomaly, Kobayashi!

In reality, there are indeed pieces of cloth that can be preserved for over a thousand years.

As far as Link knows, the linen shrouds have been preserved for a very long time, even more than two thousand years.

However, such a shelf life requires specific conditions, and the places they are in clearly do not meet those conditions.

“After all, it’s equipment for a Waveguide user. Maybe these gloves are made of special materials.” Link shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it. “Thinking so much is exhausting.”

Xiaoxia's eyes were still full of doubt, but she knew that now was not the time to worry about that. She would study it after all this was over.

At this moment, Aaron, Ash, and the two Lucarios have shared a large amount of Aura with Mew.

The arduous task that once led to the sacrifice of the Aura Hero has been broken down into smaller parts thanks to the efforts of the four Aura Users. However, it is still an extremely difficult test for newcomers like Ash and Lucario.

Although Aaron himself was much more relaxed because of the others sharing the burden, the condition of the other three was visibly declining rapidly.

"Oh no, Xiaozhi and the others' waveguide strength is not enough."

Seeing this, Xiao Gang looked worried, fearing that even with more people, they wouldn't be able to satisfy the World Tree of Beginning that was being drained of Aura like a siphon. Aaron's sacrifice was an unchangeable fact, and Ash and his friends would also pay the price for it.

Aaron also hesitated. He was deeply moved by Lucario's sacrifice, but he couldn't let it and others make pointless sacrifices.

If even four people can't...

"Then let me grant your wishes!"

Just then, Jirachi flew towards the four of them like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, causing Link, who was ready to pull out a Seed of Resurrection, to pause and observe.

Although it doesn't understand the techniques of waveguide users, it can still provide support using its own superpowers.

But then Jirachi opened his eyes, and they shone with a dazzling light.

The four people, who were struggling to stay afloat, suddenly felt their pain greatly lessen, and a warm and gentle life force flowed into their bodies under the bright light.

This was a "healing wish" they made unconsciously, which allowed Jirachi to restore everyone to their original state in one go.

However, this method was not so effective against the Tree of Origin. With their life force replenished, the Aura Masters persevered and together healed Mew and the giant tree that coexisted with it.

Moments later, the Tree of Origin restored itself to its original state, harmonizing the disordered ley lines, and halting the collapse of the rocky mountains and surrounding areas.

A massive surge of natural energy rose into the sky, spreading throughout the entire Kanto region along the veins of the earth and atmosphere.

The dried-up river gushed forth with clear springs, the withered vegetation returned to life, and the dormant dragon vein resumed its flow, bringing an end to all the disasters caused by the severance of natural energy.

When this land regained its vitality, the wars fought for resources became meaningless. A sense of war-weariness spread between humans and elves, and they soon tacitly agreed to stop fighting and lick their wounds.

All of this is thanks to the efforts of everyone.

The predetermined fate of sacrifice is thus summarized; the butterfly flaps its wings, extending the time of the Waveguide Hero.

However, as the past and present histories become contradictory, the two timelines linked by the power of the ethereal crystals of the Talebages also become unstable.

"Hey!"

Before long, the distorted spacetime will be restored... even it doesn't know what more serious problems the altered history will cause.

"Don't worry, from now on I will live under an assumed name and will no longer exert any influence on the outside world."

Arlang asserted that, having realized the origins of everyone, he would not allow his existence to cause the disappearance of others.

This victory, achieved without any casualties, is extremely valuable and must be preserved.

In terms of the outcome, no longer affecting the outside world, he is still "in fact" dead. "I don't think it's necessary to be so careful," Link, who had been observing, suddenly spoke up. "After a thousand years, an individual's actions are unlikely to have much impact on the distant future."

"As long as you avoid doing great things like 'initiating change,' 'establishing an army,' 'creating a new era,' or 'inventing new things,' moving to a place where nobody knows you shouldn't cause too many problems."

"Of course, I suggest you go to the Sinnoh region. If something really happens there, there will be someone who can help you..."

Link's statement was not unfounded or wishful thinking.

Forging a bond with a mythical beast won't be without its benefits. Small-sized mythical beasts are all one family, and we can ask Celebi to correct the slight deviations in the timeline, not to mention that.

The dream of transforming into a shrine should also prevent certain accidents that they do not want to happen from occurring.

"That's right, there definitely won't be any problems!"

Although there was no real reason, Ash intuitively felt that doing so wouldn't cause a disaster—otherwise, Celebi should have already come to warn them at Ho-Oh's request.

But this is still too risky... Xiaoxia felt uneasy, and she was also concerned about the gloves.

Aaron seemed to understand something and thought that what Xiaozhi said did make some sense.

However, he did not intend to settle in Sinnoh, but instead headed west to a far enough place to live in anonymity, so as to avoid the impact of his resurrection on the Kanto region.

"Lord Yalang..."

Lucario was extremely saddened by this; he had finally managed to catch up, but he would soon be back a thousand years in the future.

"Don't be sad, Lucario. No matter where you are, the waveguide that has been flowing and continuing since time immemorial will always connect you and me."

Even after a thousand years, this waveguide will remain forever in my heart.

However, Lucario was still dreaming.

Just as the two timelines linked by Talebagos were about to collapse and recover, its form began to fade and dissipate.

"how come!?"

This proves the fragility of spacetime itself.

Due to a slight change in history, the cane malfunctioned, and Lucario, "sealed" within it, failed to be passed down a thousand years later.

Aaron did not sacrifice himself, which allowed his and Ash's Aura to travel far away along the Dragon Vein.

Through the crystals that are everywhere in Ordron, the two of them used their Aura to break the seal on Lucario in this timeline.

When Lucario leaves this era, the future Lucario will naturally cease to exist.

And once Lucario ceases to exist, their journey through time will naturally be forgotten...

The paradox was born at this moment, and the distorted spacetime collapsed even more rapidly.

In the worst-case scenario, everything in the future might change drastically?
The most worrying thing is that nobody knows what will happen.

In the midst of the crisis, Talebagos suddenly had a brilliant idea and quickly asked the trainer to crystallize him.

After thinking for a moment, Link decided to let the tortoise do its thing and see what it could do.

In the next instant, Talebagos decisively transformed into a star crystal form, activating his "Zeroing Realm" ability.
