Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 374 An Invitation from the Sinnoh Region

"Zeroing Out" means reducing the impact of small-scale events on reality to zero.

According to Talebagos' own will, the effects of everything from weather to damage to form changes to rotation and even the battle itself can be eliminated.

What it needs to do now is to completely erase the impact of the "Lucario being sealed away by Arlang" event on the past and future!
It cannot yet comprehend the nature of this power, but after a long period of training, it will undoubtedly be able to do so.

The miracle of the Star Crystal shone with dazzling brilliance. Lucario, who was disappearing, mixed with the fragments of the Star Crystal and eventually dissipated into light.

But this time, it disappeared not after the Tree of Origin was saved, but before Aaron sealed it away.

A moment later, the distorted spacetime returned to calm, showing no signs of collapse.

"Huh? My gloves are gone!" Ash exclaimed, immediately sensing the paradox's impact on the future.

Previously, Dream, who had transformed into a form similar to Talebagas, hesitated to speak. Oh right, it seemed to remember something that happened after it was healed.

However, before it could even wander around, everyone saw two familiar figures.

Aaron, the hero of the Aura, and Lucario once again arrived at the core of the Tree of Origin from the outside.

"You are?"

Aaron seemed quite shocked, not expecting that someone had arrived here before him.

Lucario, standing beside him, gestured to the others with his eyes, clearly remembering what had happened earlier.

After all, when Talebagos resets the weather with "Zeroing Out", it does not cause the target to lose the memory of turning on the weather.

It can control the range of "zeroing" to some extent.

Research on "Zeroing the Realm" is still only the tip of the iceberg. Many of the two doctors' conclusions are still in the data of Polymon, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.

"You don't know him..."

Just as Xiaozhi was about to speak, Xiaoxia stopped him.

"We're here to heal Mew and the Tree of Beginning. Ash and Lucario are also Aura Users."

Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were four people, perhaps the war could be quelled with minimal cost...

……

An individual's influence on the overall historical trend is still too insignificant.

Even though the hero of the Aura didn't ultimately sacrifice himself, when Link, Chika, and the others returned to Ordron City, they found that almost everything was unchanged.

The greatest characteristic of "Zeroing Out" is that it eliminates the impact of a single event on the present without affecting everything else.

The staff of the Aura Warrior has been passed down and is carried by the chosen one during the annual festival.

However, it was now completely empty, with no Lucario or anything else inside.

Ash is still the hero of this year's Aura. According to Queen Irene's conversation with everyone, nothing changed until Ash raised his cane in front of the guests at the party.

However, after that, everyone went home and things ended peacefully.

Besides this, the biggest difference they discovered before and after the paradox occurred was the original portrait of the hero and Pidgeot in the palace of Ordron.

When the group returned to the palace, they found Lucario, who hadn't been there before, had appeared. It seemed that this spirit from a thousand years ago had finally returned to its original era.

Everything has settled down, and the outcome is a happy one for everyone.

Ash immediately went to the Pokémon Center in Lota Street to tell his mother and Professor Oak the good news, but they accurately guessed that he had entered the restricted area without permission and ordered him to return to Pallet Town and stay home.

Zhi Gangxia and her two companions' short trip came to an end. They wondered if they would have the chance to go on an adventure together again.
Back at the ranch with the elves, Link had no time for such trivial matters. Instead, he treated the turtle well, giving it a long vacation...

This time, using the "Return to Zero Realm" across a thousand years consumed far more energy than expected. The Taijing energy that it had previously absorbed, contained, and brought to a redundant level within its body was almost completely depleted.

Furthermore, due to the fact that Talebagos's blue bar is approximately equal to its health bar, it falls into a very weak state.

For example, it's roughly a drop from level 50 to level 5?

Link originally wanted it to be replaced directly.

Guigui simply declined, saying that he wanted to "start training from scratch, so it's fine to leave it like this for now, at least for the time being, I won't be fighting the Dream Sky Battle."

The fire fox and other elves were deeply suspicious of this.

However, training from scratch is much easier to manage than taking shortcuts. Resetting Talebagh's level to zero every now and then does help train its energy control.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to restore its Taijing power.

As for whether changing the past will affect the timeline, although it seems that only the portrait of the Aura Hero of Ordron City has changed so far, Aaron and Lucario, who survived, will inevitably flap their wings like butterflies.

Interfering with the past using the "Zeroing Realm" is like playing a game of removing building blocks. At first glance, it seems that even if you remove the blocks, nothing will happen. However, each round adds pressure to this building block tower, and one day it will cause more serious damage to spacetime.

However, Link is not the first player in this world to "pull out the blocks".

Unseen by him, the building blocks might already be teetering on the brink of collapse, and just one last push could trigger a massive event on par with a time-space dragon battle...

"But then again, our very existence has already interfered with the timeline. This isn't the first time we've traveled through time. As long as we don't do anything reckless, it'll be fine."

As a time traveler, how could he possibly say something like, "I shouldn't exist, so I plan to find an alpaca to send me back under the wheels of a truck"?

"Boni!"

As long as there is a good outcome, I believe that even if I traveled through time slightly, Dialga will forgive me!

Link agreed wholeheartedly.

Therefore, he was more concerned about his next step after winning the championship – where to open a Normal-type dojo?
The number of gyms in the many towns of the Kanto region is nearing saturation, especially in the Johto region where there is already a Normal-type gym.

The Miltank, who blindly slaughtered Chikorita using only "Stomp," "Charm," "Drink Milk," and "Roll," and the Gym Leader who refused to give him a badge after losing, were indeed impressive.

Generally speaking, he does not intend to overlap with the positioning of others in the same region.

Kanto, Hoenn, Unova, and Padina already have Normal-type Gym Leaders, while Alola has one.

Without considering going to less popular areas (Carlos is really unfamiliar with the area), it seems that only one option remains.

"The Sinnoh region seems like a good option. Which city do you think would be better for us to buy a new house in?"

Just as Link was preparing to discuss the location of their new home with the Pokémon, Cynthia, who had previously received feedback from Steven, sent him a message...
