Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 453 On a sunny day, they're brothers; in an electric field, they're brothers.

This incident is essentially a ghost story, but what is the nature of a ghost?

Many people equate ghosts with Ghost-type Pokémon, but they are actually different things.

The being currently bound by the Fire Fox with "Psychic" is clearly not a Ghost-type Pokémon, but something else entirely.

Link has some guesses about its true identity, but he needs the help of the other two elves.

So he brought back the Phantomhive and the Talebages from HOME and asked them to identify the mysterious ghost.

The Ghostly Fish, which itself contains many ghosts, immediately determined that the other party was not a ghost, but a different and more special life form.

At least that pitch-black fog was definitely not ghostly energy.

When Talebagos saw the ghostly figure, he concluded that it was not even a real creature.

"Not real?"

“Bagogo”.

The turtle nodded. It was neither a living being nor a ghost, but a projection from another timeline onto this spacetime.

Such a thing would not normally occur, but for some reason, time and space in this world have become increasingly unstable recently, leading to many abnormal phenomena.

Presumably, some kind of "karmic connection" led to the projection appearing here.

"Um, is time and space unstable?" Link felt inexplicably like he knew the reason.

Sinnoh is about to start causing trouble too. Will the two Time Gods also start fighting in this world?
The root cause is that lousy alpaca incident again. Can't we just airdrop Private First Class Ash to solve the problem?
"Speaking of which, Ash did indeed travel to the Sinnoh region this year, right?"

"Fu?"

Why did we suddenly get involved with Ash?

In any case, the so-called "haunting" is probably just a small-scale distortion of spacetime.

Since the Shadow Elf's true form is not in this space-time, attacks cannot cause any real damage to its true form.

Furthermore, because the charred tower has some kind of "karmic connection" with them, even if the shadows are temporarily dispelled, they will reappear.

As long as this karmic connection is not severed, the haunting will continue, and the haunting will continue to occur, attacking those who enter the charred tower and the spirits.

"Hey!"

After all, no matter how strong Fire Fox is, it can't fight people across timelines, let alone defeat things that don't exist.

Using "mental power" to control the other person is basically the limit.

Upon hearing this, Link looked at the shadowy figure, puzzled by its supposed "connection" with the Burnt Tower. Even if there was a connection, shouldn't it be Raikou who appeared here?

Could it be that people's hypothesis that "the Ho-Oh Guard before its resurrection was a different species of Pokémon" caused a distortion of spacetime?
"Fire Fox, can you detect any other shadowy figures inside the Burnt Tower?"

The fire fox shook its head. According to its superpowered scan, there was only a mysterious projection in front of it inside the charred tower.

The trainers must have already found a solution.

"Hmm, let Talebagos use 'Zeroing Realm'."

Regardless of the reason for the projection's appearance here, as long as the turtle restores reality through "Zeroing Realm," it will be fine.

"Bagogo~"

This situation is nothing to worry about, because it has been having a great time in the Dream Realm in recent years... no, it has recovered very well!

So they can even do better than before.

After saying that, Talebagos subconsciously looked at Link to make sure the other hadn't thought anything of it. "With time and space being so unstable lately, Turtle, you should travel with me for now, so you don't get moldy and rotten in one place."

"..."

It's not an aquatic creature, so how could it get damp?
The turtle is crying; it shouldn't have said anything. (Image)
Talebagos resisted the urge to revert to Crystal Torterra and escape reality. With the help of its trainer, it superimposed itself with a crystal to transform into a star crystal form.

"Bagogo!"

It then used the Taijing energy to "reset to zero," but instead of resetting the connection between the projection and the charred tower, it forcibly pulled the other's true form into this era.

In the next instant, an ancient spirit that looked remarkably like Lei Gong but had dinosaur-like features descended from the mist. Its ruthless crimson gaze swept across the neck, which was even longer than that of Qilin Qi, and it judged the fire fox to be the greatest threat.

It was not confused by its sudden appearance in another place, but launched an attack immediately!
The violent lightning stored in the dark cloud-like hair around his neck burst out with lightning speed!

However, in the blink of an eye, "Thunder" was bounced back by "Psychic Power," along with an even more surging superpower.

The Thunder Drum, which had originally planned to launch a surprise attack, lost its combat ability even faster than "Thunder".

“Dian yo~”

As expected of the Fire Fox, it easily accomplished what we couldn't.

Ampharos just thought it would only be able to defeat its opponent after Mega Evolution with the help of Trick Room...

"This method of exorcising ghosts is too simple and crude."

Even so, Link still threw out a Poké Ball and successfully captured the mysterious black shadow.

Talebagos disagreed, believing this to be the only way to completely resolve the "haunting" issue.

The trainer may not be perceptible to humans, but from its perspective, the spacetime of this world is already in grave danger.

The light beam of the past, present, and future has already fallen apart, and under these special circumstances, anything is possible.

So there's no need to worry about something as trivial as bringing back spirits from the past.

"Like some kind of heroic spirit that only appears for a fleeting moment during a period of human chaos."

Link roughly understood the current situation; in short, the Pokémon world was about to be destroyed again, right?

Turtle hesitated, as if he felt the trainer's way of understanding the situation was not quite right.

Just as Link retrieved the Poké Ball containing the Thunder Drum, the battle that had broken out here had already attracted the attention of many new trainers who had come to explore.

The hastily concluded match drew more attention to him and Fire Fox, and people quickly recognized the former champion.

Link, however, was more interested in investigating the Thunder Drum and its connection to the Burnt Tower. He told everyone that the demon would not reappear for a while before returning to the Pokémon Center with the Fire Fox.

With the help of Polygon and Joey, they measured the data of the Thunder Drum.

This Pokémon is an Electric/Dragon type with an unknown ability. It is 5 meters tall and weighs 500 kilograms, which is significantly different from Raikou's stats in the Pokédex.

After all, the Raikou that Ash once caught was only two meters tall and weighed less than two hundred kilograms.

If the two types of elves are genetically related, then the differences in their species, height, and weight over the centuries are simply too great.

Although there have been examples on Earth of fish evolving into humans and dinosaurs evolving into chickens, Link still finds it hard to imagine that the Thunder Drum and the Thunder God are genetically related.

This research can only be left to Dr. Oki and Dr. Yamanashi.

As for him, he released the Thunder Drum at Leibo Mountain the next morning, wanting to understand what had happened to it.
