Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 570 Together Through Life and Death
BGM: Xuejian - Fallen to the Mortal World - Mai Zhenhong
------

The dark space, enveloped in the absolute zero of the Frost Breath, collapsed with a deafening roar, its fragments scattering like black stars.

At the moment it broke.

Cynthia, who was constantly monitoring the public through her waveguide, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched her heart, and knelt on the ground.

"Lucario."

Cynthia knelt on one knee and turned to look in the direction where Wu Ge was.

She knew what had happened in that dark space.

At least what happened before the Dark Shield shattered.

She knows it all.

Giratina used [Fate Link] on Wu Ge.

At the very last moment when Wu Ge used the Frenzy Earth and Thousands of Ice to end Giratina, the feedback of [Fate] also descended upon Wu Ge.

At that moment, Cynthia, who was one with Wu Ge, also felt the immense pain that Wu Ge was enduring.

In addition, within just half an hour.

One Mega Evolution, one Bond Phenomenon Evolution, and two Z-Moves consume a huge amount of resources.

Cynthia finally couldn't take it anymore; her blood rushed to her head and she coughed up blood, nearly losing consciousness.

But her concern for Wu Ge and her responsibilities as the Sinnoh champion forced her to stay conscious.

Don't tell me she's just an ordinary person.

Even a waveguide user like Aaron might not be able to do better than Cynthia.

just.

Cynthia's side can't hold on.

This caused the bond evolution with Wu Ge to lose its effect.

She can't sense Wu Ge's condition or know how he is doing.

The great battle between the gods of time and space continues in the sky.

Despite being severely injured, Darkrai continues to fight desperately to protect Ashville.

Milotic is already down and unable to fight anymore.

Garchomp was also at its last gasp, relying solely on its will not to lose to Wu Ge to keep going.

The trainers and Pokémon in Ashford Town were already struggling to hold on; the ground beneath their feet was shrinking, leaving them with almost no way out.

The dark crevices in the space are no longer pitch black.

Instead, it was covered with gray cracks caused by the intense compression of spacetime energy.

The destruction of Baiyang Town seemed imminent.

This is probably no more than the despairing world seen through the eyes of the scorching sun.

"call"

Wu Ge's figure swayed as he stood up from the ground.

Giratina's desperate use of Destiny Bond was impossible to dodge.

Fortunately, he recently achieved Bond Evolution and even reached the Master level.

Otherwise, Giratina might have really taken them with him.

"It seems like the situation is pretty much settled."

Wu Ge raised his trembling hand and glanced at it, then looked up at the sky.

Palkia and Dialga don't care about the living beings at all.

They were simply venting their anger.

The two Pokémon were already fighting so hard they were oblivious to the world around them, and even though they were covered in wounds, they refused to stop, their eyes red with rage.

If this continues...

Palkia, who was already injured, will probably be eliminated by Dialga first.

Of the three time-space reversal gods, two have died.

We have no idea what will happen in this world.

Perhaps Arceus will appear at the crucial moment.

Or perhaps He will simply watch the world perish.

after all.

The world of Pokémon.

There are far too many.

For Arceus, destroying one might not be a big deal.

Wu Ge strode heavily toward the direction where Cynthia was.

Upon seeing Wu Ge's golden retriever, the puppy's face lit up with joy.

She frowned, gritted her teeth, and got up from the ground, staggering forward like a toddler who had just learned to walk.

A distance of just over twenty meters.

Against the backdrop of the apocalypse, it felt like an eternity.

It took them more than ten seconds to get to each other.

"Lucario, what should we do?"

Cynthia grabbed Wu Ge's hand and asked, bewildered.

She no longer knew how to save Baiyang Town.

"."

Wu Ge remained silent.

He didn't know either.

They no longer have enough force to stop the battle between the two Time Gods.

Wu Ge is now struggling even to stand still.

The Garchomp in the sky could no longer withstand the pressure and plummeted from the horizon.

Cynthia lifted the Poké Ball, bringing Garchomp and Milotic back into it.

this moment.

Countless eyes were drawn to Wu Ge and Cynthia.

The surviving people and Pokémon of Ashford Town are all watching them.

There was bewilderment and fear in his eyes, but more than anything, there was an almost devout hope.

This gaze made Wu Ge and Cynthia uneasy.

As the champion of Sinnoh.

They carry the hopes of the entire Baiyang Town.

But in the end, they failed to protect everyone in Baiyang Town.

Instead, they are just like ordinary people.

He could only stand there dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the two gods of time and space battled in the sky.

"Ahhh!!"

A roar echoed from the sky.

call out--

boom--

The Void Slash and the Time Roar shot from both sides toward Darkrai in the middle.

that moment.

Alicia, who lived a hundred years ago, appeared before Darkrai.

【

Warm sunlight filters through the leaves in the courtyard, casting dappled shadows.

"Don't be afraid~"

Alicia bent down, her skirt brushing against the grass.

She reached out her fair, soft hand and gently stroked Darkrai's shadowy body, which trembled slightly with unease.

"."

Darkrai stood there, stunned, unsure of what to do.

"You don't have to run away, you can stay here too~"

Alicia smiled gently at Him.

"Is it really possible?"

Darkrai's voice carried a hint of expectation.

"Of course, because this is everyone's courtyard."

】

"This is everyone's yard! Get out—!!"

The dark hole centered on Darkrai suddenly exploded, instantly swallowing Dialga and Palkia.

The entire narrow space seemed to freeze at that moment.

The center of the dark hole.

A pair of blue eyes, as bright as flames, burned fiercely, tears dripping from the flames before vanishing into the darkness in an instant.

boom! !

Dark Hole, Subspace Slash, Time-Space Roar.

The forces of the three converge at a single point and then suddenly vanish into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye.

A colossal vortex, hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared in the sky above Baiyang Town.

The figure of the Nightmare God was gradually crushed in the vortex.

His gaze lingered on the land beneath his feet, which he had protected for centuries—now reduced to ruins and despairing creatures.

A sigh, filled with regret and self-reproach, transcended the clamor of time:
"Alicia."

"sorry."

The vortex swallowed the last patch of shadow.

Darkrai, fallen.

Looking at the spacetime rift before me.

The crimson in Dialga and Palkia's eyes faded considerably, and they suddenly awoke.

The former unleashed a Spacetime Roar with all its might. The latter also poured all its energy into unleashing a Sub-Space Rift Slash.

The two attempted to destroy the spacetime rift together, but their power was forcibly absorbed, devoured, and merged by the spacetime rift in an instant.

They were completely unable to use their own power around this spacetime rift!
The Two Gods of Time and Space.

He regained his composure at that moment.

But they couldn't solve the big problem at hand.

even.

Even they might die here.

Despair and sorrow enveloped everyone's hearts.

at this time.

A little girl ran out with tears in her eyes, shouting at Cynthia and Wu Ge:

"Cynthia, take Lucario and hurry up!"

The little girl's voice startled everyone present.

This shout, like a stone thrown into stagnant water, instantly stirred up a thousand ripples.

Subsequently.

The eyes of everyone in Baiyang Town gradually became clearer and more determined.

"That's right! Senior Cynthia and Senior Wu Ge are so strong, they definitely have a chance to escape!"

"Wang!"

Miss Officer Jenny nodded vigorously, looking at them with respect and admiration, along with her battered Growlithe.

"Please don't worry about us! You've already tried your best! That's enough!"

"Lucky~"

Here are the gentle Miss Joy and the already weakened Chansey.

"Now we'll buy you some time. Please do everything you can to get out of here alive."

An unnamed Alliance patrolman with a broken arm and tattered uniform.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wu Ge is really strong. As expected of Miss Cynthia's ace, he even defeated the legendary Giratina."

A trainer who was just an ordinary passerby, covered in dust and with half of his glasses broken.

"Yes, yes, this is the first time I've ever seen a legendary Pokémon defeated. Only Mr. Wu Ge could do that."

An uncle selling fruit on the street, carrying a tattered basket.

"And Mr. Wu Ge's evolution just now looks a bit different from Mega Evolution. I wonder if Chimchar and I can do it."

"Fire!"

A ten-year-old boy who has just stepped out of his home to begin his own travels, and a little fire monkey in his arms who has fallen into a coma but is still responding with its sleep-talking.

A warm breeze, seemingly from nowhere, gently caressed Wu Ge and Cynthia's faces, which were covered in blood and dust.

Familiar or unfamiliar faces, some with tears in their eyes but trying to smile, unfolded slowly before them like the warmest painting.

'Red Sun, to say this is a world of despair wouldn't be entirely true.'

Wu Ge looked up at the gloomy and oppressive sky.

Darkrai and Lucario's figures appeared and disappeared in the spacetime rift.

The duty of protecting Shin'o.

The destiny of waveguide messengers.

Either fight until victory.

Either fight to the death.

In his first life, he didn't abandon the red-haired girl and run away on his own.

In this life, he would never abandon the people of Baiyang Town and flee.

this moment.

Wu Ge's gaze became deep and calm.

I don't know if it will work.

They had absolutely no confidence in their success.

But he wanted to give it a try.

What if it succeeds?

He took a step and rushed more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

Just as he was about to jump, a voice called out from behind him.

"Wu Ge!"

Cynthia's voice rang out.

Without any hesitation, she ran and threw herself into Wu Ge's arms, just like she had eagerly awaited his arrival at Langshan twenty years ago.

“Cynthia”.

"Take me with you."

Cynthia hugged Wu Ge tightly, her face pressed against his chest as she whispered something.

".good."

Wu Ge hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

They had an agreement.

anyway.

Together forever.

Even death.

He swept Cynthia into his arms, stepped on the loyal waters, and rushed toward the spatial rift in the sky.

"Aren't you curious about what I would do if I faced the same choice as Gardevoir?"

Cynthia wrapped her arms around Wu Ge's neck and looked at him tenderly.

"You don't need to tell me, I already know."

Wu Ge responded with a smile.

We will stay together through thick and thin, in life and in death.

next moment.

The two leaped into the spacetime rift.

A temporal turbulence, as if it wanted to tear everything apart, swept over them.

Wu Ge wrapped all his Aura power around Cynthia, while he chose to withstand the onslaught of the spacetime turbulence.

"Cynthia, I have so many things I want to tell you... but right now, there's only one thing you need to know."

"I am listening."

Watching his body disintegrate in the turbulent currents, Cynthia felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears streamed down her face.

"My soul is immortal."

Wu Ge gritted his teeth, looked at Cynthia, and at the same time scanned the edge of the spacetime rift.

He probably guessed what this spacetime rift was all about.

If so.

Cynthia has a chance to survive.

"."

Cynthia smiled slightly at Wu Ge, seemingly unsurprised.

"No matter how many times my body breaks down, my soul will be resurrected infinitely, so... you must live on. I will find you no matter how far I search."

"Okay! I'll wait for you! You must come! A man's promise must be kept!"

Cynthia's lips trembled as she nodded vigorously.

"Do you remember what I told you twenty years ago in the Dragon Spiral Tower?"

"Ok!"

"I'll say it again: no matter what happens, no matter how much time has passed, I will come back to you."

"Then you must remember what I said! No matter what happens, no matter how much time has passed, I will always wait for you to find me."

The two looked at each other.

Cynthia reached out and hugged Wu Ge's head, kissing him with all the passion and strength she had in her life:
"Wu Ge, I love you."

“I love you too, Cynthia.”

Salty tears mixed with the stench of blood were the most poignant testament to a farewell kiss.

Lip points.

Wu Ge withdrew most of his Aura power, and then, using the last of his remaining strength, threw Cynthia toward the spacetime rift wall as if throwing away hope.

Cynthia's figure was like a kite with a broken string, instantly swept away by the turbulent currents of the vortex towards the faint light.

She watched as Wu Ge, with a gentle and relieved smile, slowly closed his eyes amidst the raging temporal turbulence, letting his broken body fall alone into the deepest part of the vortex. She couldn't help but murmur, completing the words she hadn't finished saying:
"If you get lost, just stay where you are and wait for me. I will definitely find you."

. . .

"Waveguide, you reside in my heart!!!"

boom--

An indescribable, eerie blue light instantly engulfed the terrifying spatial rift.

Like the first ray of light at the birth of the universe, or the final ray of light at the end of all things!

The entire spacetime rift and even the sky above Baiyang Town were completely illuminated by this martyr-like waveguide light.

hope.

This is how it came about.

　PS:

　　Okay, Volume 5 is almost finished.

　　I'll write the afterword tomorrow, because Volume 5 isn't actually finished yet; there are still one or two chapters missing.

　　I will explain Cynthia's whereabouts clearly and completely, so that no one will feel sad.

　　I don't plan to kill anyone off in the ending of this volume. You can tell from the background music I chose. It's not the sad type; it's more of a fate-themed one.

　　After all, the endings of the previous lives were somewhat tragic, and I feel like I'll get criticized if I keep writing these kinds of endings, so I need to give everyone a break.

　　So this time the ending theme is "destiny," a different style.

　　and also.

　　Let's discuss the issue of making Cynthia lay eggs, which many people have been talking about, tomorrow.
