Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 420 Connection
Once the right approach is found, navigating the psychedelic forest is easier than expected.

Perhaps it was because Munchlax had visited the Dreamland before that it was able to succeed so easily.

The fog that made people spin in circles gradually dissipated, replaced by an increasingly open view and a series of stone archways.

As you delve deeper through the gate, a vast, lush garden comes into view right in the heart of the Unova region, and at the very center of the garden stands a still-tender, spiral-shaped sapling.

According to Polygonus's analysis, there is no tree species with the same name in the existing data.

"Sigh, everything is a trap and a mystery. Let's call it the Tree of Connection for now."

Link and the elves came to the garden together until they got a close look at the Tree of Connection.

This spiral-shaped sapling once looked like it was on the verge of dying, but it has recently shown signs of new life, though it still needs care and irrigation.

Near the saplings, they discovered a stone tablet that recorded mysterious information in some language using unknown totem script.

Link's translation skills were a great help, allowing him to successfully decipher the contents of the stone tablet.

"Bury your dreams here and wait for the day they will sprout and take root."

Link speculated that this connecting tree might be a projection of someone's or visitor's dream into reality.

"Fu?"

What does the remaining long string of words mean?
"The rest of the text contained phrases such as 'Gather the power of many,' 'Receive a blessing,' and 'Achieve miracles,' as well as various other tasks."

To their astonishment, the inscription on the stone tablet could change, as if it were a living, unknown totem.

"Well, basically, you can use something called 'Release Jewel' here to gain a series of abilities such as recovery power, hatching power, discount power, intimacy power, experience power, pocket money power, capture power, encounter power, etc... I guess it's an ability?"

The fire fox swirled a large question mark above its head with black mist, raising its Special Attack by 2 stages.

What a bizarre place.

But it doesn't matter. So far, they've already encountered many incredible supernatural phenomena, so one more won't make a difference.

"Yeah, sometimes it's better to be a little thick-skinned."

Link agreed wholeheartedly.

Looking around, the garden and its surroundings were very quiet, and even the wild elves that were usually seen everywhere could not be seen.

Looking around, the sky was cloudless, a subtle difference from the weather outside when we arrived.

Is this the real United States, or an abnormal space?
"Gambi~"

That said, the little Snorlax found this place to be an ideal place to live. The clear spring water, the lush green grass, and the abundant fruit on the surrounding trees should make it a place where people and Pokémon could live for a long time.

"Since we're already here, let's camp in the Forest of Connecting Points today, but don't venture into the forest or the air too soon to avoid getting lost again."

The elves agreed and decided to explore the area in pairs.

The polymorph remained in place, attempting to analyze the environment and gain a deeper understanding of the space.

Link continued studying the stone tablet in front of him, whose inscription kept changing.

After some time, the elves had roughly explored everything in the garden.

An ideal habitat would be able to support at least dozens of Pokémon, and even the terrain would have a certain degree of self-repairing ability, but otherwise it would be completely empty. However, to a battle-loving and competitive Dragonite, this place would be incredibly boring, offering little enjoyment other than the opportunity to spar with other Pokémon.

The dolphins peeking out from the water also unusually echoed Dragonite's view: the pond was much deeper than it appeared, yet there was still nothing else there.

Even dolphins, which cherish peace, don't like swimming in stagnant water where there's nothing there.

Talebagos felt he could stay there forever; this was simply the home he had always dreamed of.

"Boni?"

"Hmm, there are more words on this stone tablet than I expected, and it shows that I still have a lot of released power. Where did this released power come from?"

Does that mean that everything I did before coming here will be taken into account?
Or does the progress of one's dreams also affect one's "savings"?
Link was truly baffled.

To be honest, he wasn't quite sure what his vision could be called a dream. He probably didn't count his dream of becoming the Duel King when he was in elementary school.

"Bonnie~"

"Indeed, let's think about what to do with this released power. It can heal and nurture spirits, guide the location of items or spirits, and even travel to other parallel worlds."

Upon hearing this, the elves immediately became interested.

Despite having traveled to other worlds several times so far, they still can't help but be curious about other parallel worlds.

Even Link had to exert considerable effort to suppress the urge to immediately go elsewhere.

"Fu?"

"It can travel to places such as the Mirror Country, the Ultra Space, the Dream Realm, and the Pokémon World. If you already have the 'elements', it seems you can also travel to random worlds based on those elements."

Upon hearing this, Speeddog tilted its head in confusion, asking, "What does 'elements' mean?"
"If I understand correctly, it should be something vague and ethereal like 'fate,' like we are very familiar with Ash, so maybe we can go to another world where Ash exists."

In Link's view, the absurdity of this matter was not as great as that of the Dream Realm.

After all, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Yang and Mizuki can travel from the Ultra Hole to the Sun Altar/Moon Altar in another version of the world (the Reverse World).

The fox seemed thoughtful; this sounded quite interesting.

"Fu!"

and many more!

If fate can be a guiding light, wouldn't trainers be able to travel to a world with "Beast Gods" instead of "Pokémon"?
"No, no, no, that's way too far off. I think we can only go as far as Eos, Pacio, RéBURST, Horizon, Pipi's Story, Special Edition, Chaotic World, Card Island, or Pokémon Island."

Before he could finish speaking, Link shook his head repeatedly.

"Ahem, forget about Pokémon Island. I have absolutely no interest in being a two-headed version of myself."

The Fiery Fox blinked, but trainers, the more you emphasize the bad things you don't like, the more likely you are to encounter them, right?
In any case, Erguipeng suggested that everyone should immediately take a journey across the world to see those incredible worlds that only exist in fantasy.

Although Link felt somewhat uneasy about this, his curiosity about other parallel worlds ultimately led him to accept the proposal from the Evil Spirit.

Unexpectedly, the Fiery Fox's recent inner monologue turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy...
