Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 428 The Connection Stone That Is Not the Sheikah Stone

Afterwards, when Alder went to the Link Forest, he was unable to break through the Enchanted Forest or reach the Link Forest, let alone see the stone tablet that Link had mentioned.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with someone bringing the stone tablet out of front of the Dream Tree.

The inscription on the stone tablet, which had been transformed into the size of the Sheikah Stone, was so illegible that when he returned to his residence in Ripple Bay, he had the Unknown Totem restore the tablet to its original state in the room.

"There are many more functions above, would you like to try them out?"

Looking at the many entries on it, Link seemed to be deep in thought. The effects of experience power and egg hatching power were easy to understand, but what the heck was the power of pocket money?

Being able to steal more money after fighting against others... is clearly illegal, and it seems to have an effect similar to the "golden rule".

However, Link already possesses this ability, so there's no need for him to become even richer.

So what exactly is the hatching power? Can it accelerate hatching/improve talent/create heterochromatic eggs?
That would be far too reckless.

In addition, the variety of abilities and effects is simply dazzling.

Aside from the pocket money system, which is something we've seen in games before, it seems to also include features like refining, maps, and saves.

Once you have all the materials you need, you can mix herbs like Healing Herbs and Royal Leaves into common items like Recovery Potions and Panaceas, or craft materials like Jade into handmade Poké Balls.

These materials and props are reminiscent of the craftsmanship of Xiaozhao and Mingyao in LA. It turns out that similar materials and techniques existed in the ancient United States.

"The map... doesn't seem to be working; the record is the number of times I've become friends with an elf so far."

To Link's surprise, the number of elf friends recorded was quite large, far exceeding the number of those captured, mostly including many elves from the Dream Realm.

"Organization Technique: Consumes released energy to increase the storage space of your bag. Maximum learning time: 39 times. Cost: one million..."

The image of Xiu Zang, a space god from Team Galactic, inexplicably flashed through my mind; it was probably just a coincidence.

For Link, an adventure backpack made with modern technology is sufficient.

Frankly, most of these functions on the stone tablet can be replaced by modern technology.

Even the seemingly unbelievable journey through worlds can actually be achieved by the Sun and Moon Gods, who evolved from the Little Nebula.

In this incredible Pokémon world, traveling to a parallel universe isn't as difficult as you might imagine...

"Isn't there an explanation of the principles of the dream world, and a method to teach people how to use it?"

As they were talking, Link discovered this part on the stone tablet.

By consuming the released power, a stable dream can be constructed through connection.

Whether it's a specific scene, a past adversary, a fleeting experience, or anything else, as long as it can be reproduced, it can be used as a dream to be reenacted in reality.

It can even be achieved outside of the connection, as long as enough Release Jade is consumed.

At this point, Link finally found the function he needed most, which was also the most essential role of the connection—to create finite dreams in reality.

If he releases enough power, he can hold a large-scale fantasy simulation battle, allowing the two sides to engage in a battle under theoretically impossible conditions of equal strength.

Defining the standards and scales is the prerequisite for "competition".

Moreover, using links flexibly can achieve even more effects.

While Link only thinks about battles and training as a trainer, this can also be used for education and even research.

Many valuable consumables in reality can be mass-produced through this method, and even if these materials only exist in dreams, they can still be used for scientific research.

"But how can we prove that the dreams created by the connection also obey the laws of physics? Maybe if we conduct experiments using the connection and then take them elsewhere, they will all be wrong..."

Link shook his head. This kind of troublesome matter wasn't his concern. He'd tell Professor Oak later and let him research it himself. In the meantime, he decided to use the remaining released power to conduct a Dream Simulation Battle in Ripple Bay as a test.

After a moment's thought, he tried to communicate with the unknown totem on it: "Unknown totem, can you explain in detail the effects and usage of creating dreams in reality?"

The Unknown Totem did not respond, its blank eyes staring lifelessly at Link.

The latter stared intently at the unknown totem.

The match ended shortly afterward when Link's eyes became dry and he had to close them.

The Unknown Totem is truly an incredible spirit.

Just as he was lamenting that he knew nothing about many elves, some of the writing on the stone tablet seemed to move slightly.

Is it an illusion?

Does the unknown totem also have a "slow start"?
Lin Ke observed carefully but found no signs of movement in the text; the dense inscriptions were truly dazzling.

Left with no other choice, he circled the stone tablet twice and discovered that the eyes of some of the characters on it were moving with him, constantly staring at him.

"You guys can move, can't you..."

It seems the unknown totem is simply too lazy to explain.

So... how about trying experience?

Link didn't hesitate for long before he heard a series of heavy footsteps.

Iron Dumbbell, which had evolved into a Metal Monster, came running over carrying a Burning Worm.

"Long time no see, the Late Bloomers Group."

Several months later, neither of them has been able to evolve to the final stage.

Furthermore, since they were not very strong in combat before their evolution, Link did not arrange for them to undergo too much rigorous training, resulting in the Metal Monster and the Burning Bug growing at a slightly slower rate than the Fire Fox and the others.

Fortunately, Link doesn't have a plan to "build a team from scratch to challenge a new league," and slow growth also has its advantages.

"Meta~"

"Mea~"

"Yes, I brought you some honey and stones from other places. Come and try them tonight."

In summary, the late bloomers in the group get along well, make steady progress, and even occasionally have the opportunity to appear in battles as the guardians of the gym.

During the two months they were missing, Porygon frequently sent out some ranch Pokémon as bonus challenges to the challengers, in addition to Normal-type Pokémon.

The results were disastrous... for both the original team and the challengers.

Upon learning of their trainer's return, the two Pokémon looked curiously at the stone tablet that had appeared in the house, assuming it was the food they had brought back.

At some point, the sword sheath had already hung itself on it, becoming one with this antique from an unknown era, disappearing into the camouflage of the antique.

"This is something very important; it cannot be eaten."

The arrival of the Metal Monster and the Burning Bug was just in time; Link was worried about not having anyone to help with the testing.

He then explained the purpose of the stone tablet to the two elves and suggested that they conduct a simulated battle in reality in their evolved form, a battle they were already accustomed to, as a demonstration of the results of their two months of training.
