Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 471 Unknown Totem
Since he wasn't very familiar with the Johto Group yet, Link didn't spend too much time on the group chat.

After editing the announcement in the group, he led the fire fox into the interior of the Aluf Ruins.

As Chris solved the mystery of the secret room, many unknown totems inexplicably appeared within the ruins.

The types of these totems are fixed, and it is not yet possible to collect all 28 types, which may be related to the number of puzzles that have been solved.

Upon arriving at the ruins, they quickly discovered dense, unknown totems disguised as writing on the walls.

"Fu?"

"I can't tell. I think it's probably just random gibberish."

Upon hearing this, the fire fox looked at the wall. There were so many unknown totems; what did they eat to survive?

The trainer wanted to communicate with them directly using their translation skills, but the totems showed no intention of speaking.

They simply watched silently as all the people and spirits who came into the ruins.

"Unknown totem, unknown totem, can you send me to the ruins of the divine capital?"

Link, who couldn't possibly have an alpaca, tried to bypass the mechanics to get the result directly.

However, the unknown totems on the wall merely blinked their sore eyes, seemingly not understanding his words.

Seeing this, the Fire Fox seemed to be deep in thought. Could it be that the trainer hasn't met some certain condition yet?
For example, solving the puzzles in all the secret rooms to make all kinds of unknown totems appear in the ruins?

Link agreed wholeheartedly, but he had long forgotten the locations of the other secret rooms.

Leaving aside gold and silver, even the soul is something from a very, very long time ago.

Solving the mysteries of all the secret rooms and breaking the seal on the Buried Tower will likely fall to these new trainers from Johto.

Looking at the unknown totem on the wall, Link tried to recall his past knowledge, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

"Trainer, even though you can't understand the random characters spelled out by Unown, what would happen if you arranged them into characters you understand?"

The multifaceted beast suddenly started to have some wild ideas.

According to the illustration, the shape of the unknown totem resembles the writing on ancient stone tablets, and there are rumors that the two are related.

If there is only one, nothing will happen, but it is said that when two or more appear, a certain power will be generated.

If we're talking about the power that words can generate when combined, it's definitely in the form of "words" and "sentences".

Just as a trainer's Connect Stone can travel through time and space with the help of the Unknown Totem, Porygon believes that if they are combined in a specific order, they may trigger special effects.

"This is dangerous. I don't recommend playing with unknown totems recklessly."

The fire fox nodded. "As long as they don't mess around."

It carefully examined the unknown totems on the wall and found a few that it recognized.

Using the fire fox's "psychic powers," the unknown totem stuck to the wall was pried off.

Then, by rearranging and combining them, the ancient characters for "fire fox" were formed.

"Don't play with the Unknown Totem..."

In the next instant, something unexpected happened.

The unknown totem stuck to the wall after being combined with the fire fox inexplicably shone brightly and released unusual superpowers.

"Awakening Power!"
Theoretically, there are no special effects to this move, but it has produced a strange change when used by the unknown totem.

Radiance shone before the words, and a fiery fox descended from the light.

The unknown totem actually created another fire fox based on the characters formed by the fire fox!

"Mm!?"

"Fu?" The fire fox created by the unknown totem licked its original form, then ignored the humans and elves and ran straight into the distance.

“Illusion? No, creating life? Impossible. Could it be a ‘stand-in’ that has been temporarily given the ability to act?” Polymon tried to analyze, but he couldn’t come to a conclusion no matter what he did.

The fire fox was so surprised that it forgot to use its "miracle eye" to observe the other party's condition.

Link looked at the fire fox wandering around the ruins in the distance with a headache. He felt a headache coming on. The fox that could read was indeed very smart, but you can't write your name on everything you find.

What if I find a Death Note someday?
Oh, no, the name of the fire fox isn't fire fox, it's Focus.

So even if you find the Death Note, it won't...

"No, that's why I say don't play with Unknown Totems."

"Fu~"

Who knew something like this would happen? The real world isn't some kind of animated film where magic exists.

The fire fox didn't chase after its copy, but pondered for a moment, seemingly thinking about something.

A moment later, it asked its trainer to use "Imitation" to copy the "Awakening Power" of the Unknown Totem.

"Eh?"

Link paused for a moment, then thought it shouldn't be a big deal: "It's fine, anyway, you can't 'imitate' the 'awakened power' of all unknown totems at once, and non-unknown totems probably won't get the same effect either."

"Fu!"

Fu wants to simultaneously and all at once "imitate" the "awakening power" of all unknown totems, because Fu can do it!
A moment later, the fire fox began a very complex "imitation" technique.

First, he used "mind swapping" to infuse his energy and a portion of his will into the small twigs hidden in his tail. These twigs immediately floated in mid-air under the influence of his superpower.

The little twig, now imbued with a spirit, simultaneously used "Imitation" with the fire fox, replicating the mysterious "awakening power" of the unknown totem.

This move is to some extent exclusive to Unknown Totem; when other Pokémon use it, they only release specific attribute energy based on their own talents.

When an Unknown Totem is used, it will transform into an attribute that can deal damage that is countered during battle.

The fire fox imitated a move exclusive to the Unknown Totem.

At the same time, Link's divine plan trembled violently, revealing the brilliance of the Knowledge Badge.

Through the combination of "mind swapping" and "imitation," the process of the unknown totem using its power is reproduced in exactly the same way.

A mysterious glow reappeared, and a furry red figure was born from it.

As the combination "Awakening Power" took shape, another fire fox was created by the fire fox.

The two foxes stared at each other for a moment as if looking in a mirror, each reaching out, clapping, standing, sitting, and lying down, looking exactly like identical copies.

"So, Fire Fox, you've learned... 'Stand'?"

"Muff~"

Fire Fox shook his head repeatedly; this was no ordinary "stand-in".

As it personally simulates the "awakening power" of the unknown totem, and uses the "miracle eye" to observe the flow of energy, it can realize that the "fire fox" created by this move is a genuine "copy".

The latter is essentially a projection of itself, possessing the same memories and abilities but being somewhat degraded.

In short, it's like a clone.

but……

The next instant, the fire fox was unable to maintain the stability of its moves and the simulation was interrupted, causing its own instance to dissipate.
