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

Chapter 698 The Vanished World Tree

Natsume and Ran exchanged a glance, both seeing the wariness and distrust in each other's eyes.

Wang Luo's account is full of loopholes and his emotions are extreme; his words should not be taken at face value.

But right now, it seems that he is the only one who knows the most about the clues regarding the Red Sun and Giratina.

The two tacitly decided to play along for the time being and follow Wang Luo's actions, but to remain on high alert at all times.

"Lead the way."

Natsume spoke to Nozomi in a flat tone, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Wang Luo seemed eager to prove his worth, or perhaps he felt he had found a "kindred spirit," and acted very proactively.

He led the group along the charred, broken paths inside the Tianguanshan crater, still radiating residual heat, deeper into the mountains.

The surrounding energy turbulence grew stronger, and the air became scorching and oppressive.

Finally, they stopped in front of a very hidden crevice in the mountain wall, half-hidden by huge boulders.

Deep within the cracks, one can vaguely see the remnants of some huge, twisted, and gnarled roots that shimmer with a faint, dim green light. They are deeply embedded in the mountain, but most of them are broken and withered, as if they had been forcibly torn off.

"This is one of the remaining roots of the World Tree," Wang Luo said, pointing to the roots with a complicated tone. "Although the main body was destroyed, these roots, deeply rooted in the origin of the Reversed World, will not completely disappear in the short term."

"Through them: by combining the power of the lake gods; perhaps we can sense where the main body of the felled World Tree was taken."

"etc!"

Natsume spoke, interrupting Nozomi.

He looked at the other person with suspicion: "Why did you bring us here? Where's Team Rainbow Rocket's factory?"

"A factory?" Wang Luo was taken aback, and his expression instantly turned strange.

"You mean the giant workshops in the real world? There are no such things in the Reverse World."

Almost the instant those words were spoken, Wang Luo noticed that Natsume's gaze towards him had changed.

"Mr. Wang Luo, you're not being sincere at all."

Natsume narrowed his eyes, his telekinetic powers spreading out as he watched him with extreme vigilance.

They've helped Team Rainbow Rocket produce dragon scales, and there are also those Rotom robot production lines... How could Wang Luo not know?

Moreover, the other party was a middleman.

"Wait a minute, I know what you're talking about!" Wang Luo quickly waved his hand and explained, "You mean, Team Galactic definitely has a factory-like place that produces items for Team Rainbow Rocket!"

Wang Luo's gaze towards Natsume changed.

This guy not only managed to steal the ring without having to live in fear like he did.

He even knows some things about the collaboration between the Rainbow Rockets and the Galaxy!

"Yes, I did receive orders, and Akari can indeed produce those things, but... those should all be produced in factories in the real world. The Reverse World couldn't possibly have such things!"

Wang Luo's explanation did not seem fabricated.

Natsume frowned but did not reply.

The related industrial chain he saw in the realm of the Crimson Sun last time... shouldn't it be able to find a corresponding one in the Reversal World?

Surely these things can't just be imagined by Chi Ri in the realm of the mind, right?

How imaginative is that?

That's ridiculous!

"Yeah, Natsume, could it be that actual production... is more discreet?"

Takeran looked at Natsume and also felt that establishing a factory in the Reverse World was somewhat unlikely.

Actual production... Natsume had already ruled out that possibility.

With the double "surveillance" of the Peace Dog and the Eye of the Sky, basically no small action can escape the eyes of the Alliance and Natsume.

Natsume had searched for and used his Sky Eye to directly probe all of Team Galactic's businesses in the real world with his telekinetic abilities.

Neither of them contained the two factories that Natsume had seen in the Red Sun's spiritual realm.

The only explanation is that those production lines are located in an undetectable, reversed world.

After staring at Luo for a while, Natsume was somewhat speechless.

He seems to have overestimated the value of Wang Luo.

"Never mind, now that things have come to this, let's find Giratina first."

As Natsume spoke, he looked at the two mushroom-headed men behind him.

Yukshi and Akhnom exchanged a glance. Although they distrusted Wangluo, they still flew forward and infused the remaining roots with the light of their wisdom and will, because it concerned Giratina.

Buzz....

The dim green light on the roots began to glow faintly, like a dying heart regaining its weak beat.

Invisible ripples of spiritual energy spread outwards from the root system in all directions.

However, the results from the sensor feedback stunned everyone.

"This...this is impossible!" Yuxi exclaimed first, his mushroom head shaking violently.

"In my perception, the main energy source of the World Tree... is right around us! Very close!"

"No, it hasn't been touched at all!"

Beside him, Arknom muttered to himself, "Is there something wrong with my senses?"

It's incredible.

"Is it because one is missing?"

As Natsume spoke, he left Eklimti, who was under the middle-parted hair, behind him.

Ever since it was discovered that Eklim could float in the air even after falling into a coma, the person with the middle part has been used as a flying bench by the person with the middle part.

"Wake up, we've found Giratina."

Natsume slapped the other person's face, but he couldn't wake them up no matter what he did.

After thinking for a moment, Natsume took out a strip of medicine, poured out a pill, and put it into Eklim's mouth.

Before long, the other person suddenly opened their eyes, their face flushed, their breathing rapid, and their heart pounding.

"What did you feed him that was so effective?" Zhu Lan asked curiously.

"Snorlax's heat potion."

Natsume clapped his hands and carried Eklee to the tree roots.

"Alright, as the God of Emotions, you should be able to suppress the effects of the medicine with ease."

"Time to get to work."

Shin Natsume pointed to the messy tree roots in front of him.

The three gods once again focused their minds and carefully sensed the surroundings.

But the result was still the same!

The enormous energy fluctuations belonging to the World Tree were not far away, but right at hand.

It feels like it's right in front of me.

"Could it be...?"

""

Zhu Lan recalled the feeling when the three gods of the lake guided her into the spiritual realm, and a thought stirred in her heart.

"Is there a spiritual realm in front of us? That's why we can't see it? Just like how you covered up the remains of the gun before?"

""

"Absolutely impossible!"

Kexi refuted this categorically.

"The World Tree itself represents the core of the entire Reversal World's spiritual realm; its size is vast and boundless! How could there possibly be another spiritual realm capable of containing the entire World Tree?"

"Then unless this spiritual realm is even larger than the Reversal World itself!"

"But the spiritual realm of the Reverse World is attributed to Lord Giratina and included within the World Tree, which is a contradiction!"

The other two mushroom-headed men nodded in agreement, clearly showing their strong approval of the other's statement.
