I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"The colors look a little different, but they should be similar, right?" Little Huba scratched his head, then floated to the cave entrance with the gem and waited obediently.

It planned to give the gem to Ye Feng after he finished fighting, as a surprise.

At the same time, in the capital, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded at the Trainers Association headquarters.

Just moments ago, Gu Yangzhou and several master trainers were gathered around a table, discussing which Pokémon the newly found Mega Stone belonged to, when a halo suddenly appeared, and then a hand reached out from within it.

To everyone's astonishment, the hand seemingly casually scooped up the Key Stone and the Mega Stone and carried them away...snatched them away...

Ye Feng, who was fighting the three Divine Pillars, was completely unaware of all this.

Of course, he'll find out soon enough.

······

Meanwhile, following the guidance of the World Tree, Dream found the location of Xerneas's secret realm.

"Huh? This guy actually locked up the secret realm?" Dream was about to go in when she found that the entrance was blocked.

Dreamy snorted, stretched out her little hand and gestured in the air, successfully opening an entrance. She crawled inside and saw Xerneas lying leisurely on the grass.

"What are you here for?"

Xerneas stood up abruptly, looking at Dream with a sense of formidable threat. He took a small step back while his eyes darted around, searching for an escape route.

Last time, a large amount of life energy was drained by the Dream, what does it want this time? Does it want more?

"Where is Yveltal?" Dream asked anxiously, secretly relieved to see that Xerneas was alright.

"Wait, what do you mean by taking half a step back just now?" Dream suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Xerneas suddenly felt a chill down his spine, noticing the dangerous gaze from the dream, and quickly said, "It's still asleep. You know, we can't coexist for very long; I'm the one who's awake most of the time."

Dream nodded; it knew that too.

The last time Yveltal awoke was because of those Ghosts of Light, but Yveltal should have dealt with them long ago, right?

"Take me to see it quickly."

"Why would I see it? Yveltal has a bad temper when it wakes up, and it can be quite troublesome if it gets upset," Xerneas asked, puzzled.

It wasn't worried about Dream's safety, but it knew it would have to clean up the mess itself in the end, which was too much trouble.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk as we walk," Dream urged, its tail swaying nervously behind it.

Seeing that Mew looked anxious, Xerneas knew that something might have happened, so he said no more and took Mew away from his own secret realm, heading towards Yveltal's secret realm—making sure to keep a little distance from Mew.

On the way, Dream told Xerneas about the Shadow Elf and Ye Feng's and her own speculations.

"Super Demon God? The seal has actually broken." Xerneas frowned. It remembered that when Hoopa went berserk, it caused quite a bit of trouble.

"Do you have any leads on that black elf?" Dream asked.

Xerneas thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know. As you know, because of Yveltal, I don't care much about things outside, let alone elves that come out of mysterious caves."

“I suspect it came from another world,” Dream said.

“Other worlds…” Xerneas pondered for a moment, “A place like Ye Feng’s?”

Dream nodded and then shook her head: "It shouldn't be, Xiao Fengzi doesn't know that elf either."

“Since there’s already another world where Ye Feng is, it’s not surprising that there’s another one, is it?” Dream continued.

“Could it be a different timeline?” Xerneas remarked casually. “Aren’t there elves like Celebi who can travel through time?” (Although the official translation is now Celebi, I feel that Celebi sounds better and is more widely known, right? If that’s not appropriate, I’ll stick with Celebi.)

"A timeline?" Dream pondered the possibility and found it surprisingly plausible.

However, Dream still believes that the possibility of a third world is greater than the possibility of a timeline.

Chapter 297 Little Hoopa Stole Something

Dream and Xerneas successfully arrived at the secret realm where Yveltal was located and saw the Cocoon of Destruction sleeping at the bottom of the lake.

"Should we wake it?" Xerneas asked, though it was a little reluctant—it had been cleaning up Yveltal's messes for years, and even that got tiresome...

Dream shook its head, circled the Cocoon of Destruction, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Yveltal was safe and sound in his slumber.

“It seems they haven’t found this place yet,” Dream said.

"What are your plans after this?" Xernias asked.

It cannot stand here and watch Yveltal protect it; their powers are in conflict, representing two completely different extremes. If they were to spend too much time together, unpredictable things would happen.

Dream began to ponder.

Although it's now confirmed that Yveltal is alright, no one can guarantee that nothing will happen in the future, and Mew can't stay here and watch over things forever.

There is a hidden connection between the World Tree and various secret realms, which allows Dream to find the location of legendary spirits, but it is not without limitations.

Each time the exact location is found, it consumes the power of the World Tree. If the situation weren't potentially extremely urgent this time, Dream wouldn't have done this.

Otherwise, it would have directly told Ye Feng the exact location of the Three Sacred Mushrooms, so he wouldn't have to find them himself. Ye Feng was unaware of this; he simply assumed that Dream knew.

"How about we take Yveltal to the World Tree?" Mew suggested. It knew that Xerneas and Yveltal couldn't be together, so it only suggested taking the Cocoon of Destruction with it.

Xerneas shook his head: "No, even though Yveltal is asleep, it still exudes the power of death. If you take it to the World Tree, unless you also want it to become like that..."

Dream glanced at the deathly black and white surroundings and fell silent.

Although the World Tree and Mew themselves are unaffected by Yveltal's power, there are many, many elves living in the secret realm where the World Tree resides, and they cannot be affected by it.

"Sigh, if only Xiao Feng were here, he would definitely be able to think of a solution." Dream sighed softly, suddenly feeling that it should bring Ye Feng over.

But that won't do either. What if the Shadow Elf really finds this place? Xiao Fengzi might be in danger. Thinking of this, Dream shook her head vigorously.

Xerneas looked at Mew with a puzzled expression, wondering what it was thinking.

“Although it’s a bit troublesome, I can only rely on relocating the secret realm from time to time. In addition, I will also strengthen the defenses here.” Xerneas took the initiative to speak when he saw that Dream couldn’t come up with a solution.

"This is the only way for now." Dream sighed. It really couldn't think of a solution... This was never something it liked or was good at.

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. I need to head back to the World Tree now," Dream said.

Xerneas nodded and watched Dream depart.

...It didn't try to extort life energy from me anymore? Xernias was a little surprised.

···

They come quickly and leave quickly.

Dream returned to the World Tree, but didn't see Ye Feng and Little Huba.

After thinking about it, I decided to go find the three Registeel Titans for training. So Mew flew towards the depths of the World Tree.

Before they even reached the spot where the three divine pillars were, Mew heard a reprimanding voice.

"Hupa! How could you do such a thing?" Dream recognized Ye Feng's voice.

"Waaah... Huba just wanted to repay Ye Feng." The voice was unique, clearly belonging to Little Huba.

Dreamy flew over curiously and saw Ye Feng poking Little Huba's head with his finger, while Little Huba didn't dare to resist at all, lowering his head and hugging his scooping ring with a wronged expression.

Xiao Fengzi, you're so brave! That's a super demon god! Absolutely amazing!

However... Dream looked at Little Huba, who looked like she had done something wrong, and fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Dream flew to Ye Feng and stopped him from poking Little Huba's head.

Although everything is fine now, once Hoopa regains its power, no one can guarantee that its personality will remain the same. For Ye Feng's future safety, it's best to make it restrain itself a bit.

"You're back? Yveltal seems alright?" Ye Feng asked when he saw Mew appear.

Dream nodded and asked what had happened.

"You don't know about Dream! Hoopa... Hoopa steals things!" Ye Feng said with a look of utter disappointment.

"What? Stealing?" Mew stared at Hoopa. How could a powerful demon god steal? Mew felt this was a disgrace to elves, and even more so to legendary elves.

"No!" Little Huba shouted, but when Ye Feng glared at it, it immediately lowered its head.

"When Hoopa saw Gardevoir Mega Evolve, it knew that those were Key Stones and Mega Stones, so it thought of giving a few to Xiaofengzi..." Little Hoopa murmured.

Dream looked at Ye Feng, who sighed and opened his palm, revealing two pairs of Key Stones and Mega Stones.

"Where did you get this from?" Dream asked.

"Hupa didn't know either. Hupa just wanted a gem like that, and that's how he got it," said little Hupa.

"Xiao Feng, do you know?" Meng Huan asked. Otherwise, why would Ye Feng be so certain that Xiao Hupa stole something?

"If I'm not mistaken, this should have come from the Trainers Association." Ye Feng sighed, bent down and picked up a box from the ground. It was labeled "Top Secret" and had a special symbol on it.

Ye Feng pointed to the symbol and explained, "This is the logo of the Chinese Trainers Association."

"Hmm..." Dream blinked. So, Little Hoopa really did steal something?

"I should have known better than to bring that box," Little Huba whispered.

It got really bored watching Ye Feng do his combat training, so it started playing with Keystones and Mega Stones. It realized that just giving away gems wasn't enough, so it also took the box containing the gems—which triggered the alarm at the association headquarters once again.

Gu Yangzhou was so angry that he trembled all over. He thought that his headquarters of the China Trainers Association was heavily guarded and had master-level trainers on staff, yet his things had been stolen from him twice in a row... no, robbed!

The master trainers also looked grim, determined to find this audacious thief!

Although Ye Feng couldn't see it, he could imagine Gu Yangzhou's expression after discovering that the Keystone and Mega Stone were missing; it was probably even darker than Dark Klein's.
