Pokémon: Who told him to come out of Pallet Town!

Chapter 693 Fusion, Physics No Longer Exists

Natsume's heart sank.

A problem in one laboratory might be an accident, but when multiple laboratories in different fields simultaneously experience anomalies that cannot be explained by conventional theories... this is definitely not a coincidence!

He immediately got up and followed the researchers quickly toward the laboratories most severely affected.

Along the way, he saw more and more researchers gathering in the corridor, their faces filled with confusion, anxiety and unease, discussing among themselves.

"Damn it! My circuit board was working perfectly fine a moment ago, and then it suddenly short-circuited!"

"The contamination level of my culture medium spiked instantly, even though it was a sterile environment!"

"Does the gravimeter need recalibration? The surface gravity parameters seem to have a slight drift?"

These complaints, though fragmented, all point in the same direction—some of the most fundamental physical, chemical, and biological constants seem to be undergoing unstable and imperceptible changes.

In a basic physics demonstration lab, Natsume witnessed a chilling scene:

A classic, simple circuit used to demonstrate the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction—a coil, a magnet, and a galvanometer.

When the researchers moved the magnet according to standard procedures, the galvanometer needle should have swung regularly, but instead it was trembling violently and erratically, sometimes pointing to the maximum value, sometimes returning to zero, and even occasionally deflecting in the opposite direction.

It was as if something was interfering with the most basic law of electromagnetic induction.

Meanwhile, most of the other precision instruments in the laboratory were in a strange state of intermittent malfunction, with the data on the screens flickering and the alarm lights turning on and off erratically.

"Dean, what... what exactly is going on?" The researcher leading Natsume asked, his voice trembling.

"We checked all the equipment and ruled out all possible sources of interference..."

'

Natsume did not answer; his expression was unusually grave.

His powerful telekinesis allowed him to perceive more clearly that the surrounding energy field was indeed experiencing extremely subtle but real disturbances, and the spatial structure seemed to be more "soft" and "volatile" than usual.

A few days later, just as Natsume was organizing the institute’s top researchers to investigate the cause and try to build a new temporary model to deal with this “disturbance”, Cynthia received an urgent call from the Sinnoh region.

After hearing the report, Zhu Lan immediately went to find Natsume with an extremely serious expression.

"Natsume," Takeran's voice carried an unprecedented seriousness and a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"The Sinnoh League has received a large number of... very strange reports."

"What report?"

"Many citizens have reported that they feel lighter recently, and it seems easier to float when walking. Some elderly people even say that going up and down stairs is much less strenuous."

"At first, we thought it was psychological or due to the weather, but the League's sophisticated measuring instruments showed that... the gravity constant in the Sinnoh region has indeed experienced a slight but continuous decrease."

"Although the changes are small, the trend is clear!"

Zhu Lan paused, her tone becoming even heavier: "What's even stranger is that, starting yesterday, at different times, witnesses have reported seeing... mirage-like phenomena in the skies above Tianguan Mountain, Lizhi Lake, Xinqi Lake, and other places."

"But those images are not deserts or oceans, but rather distorted, inverted, ancient-style phantoms of towns or natural landscapes, appearing and disappearing as if superimposed on our world. Meteorological departments and research institutions are completely unable to explain this phenomenon."

Gravity anomaly? Strange phenomena in the sky?

The description of Orchid was like the final piece of a puzzle, instantly connecting Natsume's mind with the various "disturbances" that had occurred at the academy.

"Wait a minute, let me check the situation over there."

As Natsume spoke, he began to contact the chibi version of Gadria.

"Ahhhh, Mr. Natsume!"

As soon as we made contact, we heard the drawn-out voice of the chibi version of Cattleya.

"What's wrong with you?"

Natsume's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately noticed the anomaly of the Eye of the Sky.

As gravity slowly changes, the other party seems to be about to deviate from its original trajectory, thanks entirely to the chibi version of Gadria making minor adjustments.

After using telekinesis to help the other party adjust their position, Natsume took a deep breath.

"Reposting live footage from the Sinnoh region."

Soon, the strange sky of Sinnoh that Ran had described appeared in Natsume's field of vision.

What comes into view is a huge tree, resembling a centipede, towering atop Tianguan Mountain.

The tree canopy does not support lush leaves, but rather images of buildings, from which one can vaguely see "ghosts" living.

"Huh, isn't this the World Tree where Lord Giratina resides?"

The three gods in the lake have been practically tied to Natsume's side these past few days, and he immediately transmits the images he sees to them telepathically.

After the confirmation, a possibility that Natsume had once doubted but dared not delve into due to its terrifying consequences now appeared with unparalleled clarity—

"This is not a simple energy disturbance..."

'

Natsume spoke into the phone, his voice low and resolute.

"Bamboo orchid, this is fusion."

"Fusion? What fusion?" Zhu Lan, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned.

"The Reverse World... is merging with the real world!"

Natsume spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone filled with unprecedented seriousness.

"The two physical rules have fundamentally different dimensions; their boundaries are blurring, and the rules are permeating each other."

"Erosion! Therefore, gravity in the real world will change, therefore an inverted phantom will appear in the sky, therefore all our experiments will fail because the fundamental physical rules upon which all scientific and technological systems are built are collapsing and rebuilding!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Clearly, Zhu Lan was also shocked by the horrifying nature of this conclusion.

Natsume took a deep breath and continued, "Think about it, if the two worlds were to completely merge, the existing knowledge systems of physics, chemistry, biology... all disciplines would lose their foundation."

"The technological civilization that humanity has built up over thousands of years, including the energy, transportation, communication, and medical systems we rely on for survival, and even the energy bond and battle system between us trainers and Pokémon, will crumble in an instant, like a castle built on quicksand."

And this naturally includes Natsume's hard work.

"Who would do something like this?"

The three gods of the lake were also frightened. Although this was not the end of the world, it would definitely bring human society back to square one overnight.

These three deities are closely related to the human spiritual realm and are inevitably influenced by them.

"What do you say about creating a new world?"

Natsume's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the three gods.

The three gods were taken aback, remembering the Crimson Sun they had been mocking a few days ago.

Natsume's assertion that "two worlds are merging" was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves within the core circle of Sunshine Academy.

Panic, disbelief, and deep anxiety spread.

But Natsume knew very well that now was not the time to sit idly by and wait for death. He had to take immediate action, and the breakthrough point was clearly the inverted world, the source of the drastic changes in the rules.

"I want to go to the Reverse World again."
