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

Chapter 705 "Rewind," Wang Luo's "Golden Finger"

"He traveled back in time...will he change the present?"

Zhu Lan frowned.

Natsume shook his head and did not reply.

If only the cleric were here.

He can now transform into a time-traveling police officer.

Natsume's speculation exploded like a thunderclap within Akari's mental realm.

If Wang Luo could truly travel back in time, he would be fully capable of overturning everything in the present.

As if to confirm Natsume's worst suspicions, a sudden change occurred.

In Natsume's hand, the rainbow R ring engraved with the word "Sinnoh" that he had taken from Wanglu's finger suddenly flickered a few times like a light bulb with a faulty connection. Then, the ring itself began to become translucent, as if it were about to merge into the air.

"The ring!" Natsume clenched his fist tightly, but the dissipating power was invisible and intangible, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Within seconds, the ring vanished completely before his eyes, leaving no trace.

Almost simultaneously, "Ugh!"

Chi Ri let out a muffled groan, clutching his forehead with one hand, his face showing extreme pain and confusion.

"His memories are being forcibly altered and overwritten!"

The three gods in the lake instantly sensed that something was wrong with the other party.

"My memories... no, that's right..." Akari's voice was broken and filled with struggle.

"Yukishi, Arknom!" Natsume shouted immediately.

The Lake Gods, who had been waiting in ambush, immediately flew forward. The "Light of Wisdom" of Xerxes and the "Power of Will" of Azelf intertwined to form a pure spiritual barrier that enveloped the Crimson Sun.

They are forcibly separating the "new memories" that are not his own that are flooding into Chi Ri's mind, to prevent them from merging with Chi Ri's own memories and causing cognitive confusion.

"Emrido!" Natsume looked at Emrido, who had just woken up and was still somewhat weak.

Emridor, representing "emotions," nodded. Although its power did not directly affect memories, it could stabilize Red Sun's emotions, preventing him from having a mental breakdown due to memory conflicts.

Through the combined efforts of the three gods, a distorted, blurry image, as if viewed through frosted glass, was successfully extracted and materialized from Chi Ri's chaotic thoughts, suspended in mid-air and played like a holographic projection.

The perspective of the image is strikingly—Wangluo!

The environment in the video is the outer area of ​​the Tianguanshan crater, and the time seems to be slightly earlier than expected.

Wang Luo appeared, his attire changed to the Galaxy Team uniform, his face disguised, his appearance drastically altered.

He also carefully hid the rainbow R ring.

He "happened" to run into Natsume and Takeran, who had just arrived at Mount Tenkan and were preparing to enter the crater.

In the video, Wang Luo's face showed just the right amount of anxiety and grief. He stopped Natsume and Takeran, weaving a lie in a sorrowful yet believable tone: "Takeran... Champion! Our... our leader has been killed!"

Wang Luo's lies were highly inflammatory: "A guy who looks exactly like our boss killed him and is now settling scores with us!"

In the video, Natsume and Takeran are visibly stunned.

Natsume saw that when he heard the exact same name as the boss, his face clearly showed emotion.

Clearly, when they experienced this "first time," they were largely swayed by this explanation because they did not know Chi Ri's true intentions and Wang Luo's background beforehand!

Upon seeing this "false memory" that had been forcibly implanted but was promptly removed, Natsume, Takeran, and Akatsuki, who had barely stabilized, all broke out in a cold sweat.

"This is definitely not some kind of device to maintain youth."

Natsume stared intently at Wangluo's chest.

"What Team Rainbow Rocket gave this guy is basically a cheat code that allows for infinite rewinds and infinite trial and error."

If it weren't for the chance encounter with the Lake Gods, a Pokémon capable of interfering with and stripping memories, the three of them would probably have already turned on each other or been manipulated by Wangluo.

However, the crisis was not over.

"I can't do it anymore."

"Me too...

'

The voices of the three lake gods became extremely weak, and the light that maintained their forms flickered.

"Pikachu?" Why are you guys so hesitant?

Despite Zhongfentou constantly feeding them full-restoration medicine, this direct confrontation with the spacetime correction force and the stripping and sealing of the altered memories consumed them immensely and was difficult to replenish quickly.

In mid-air, the image of the "false memory" that had been stripped away began to flicker and distort violently.

The scenes and dialogues in the video started jumping around wildly.

Sometimes it was Wanglu who tried to intercept Natsume and Takenori earlier:

Sometimes he would change his story, attempting to directly sow discord between Natsume and Akatsuki:

Sometimes he even tried to pose as a victim and go directly to the Alliance in the real world to ask for help.

With each "rollback," Wang Luo tries different strategies and looks for loopholes in the history.

Each attempt generates a new spacetime correction force, impacting the mental barrier of the Lake Gods.

"This can't go on!" Zhu Lan was extremely anxious as she watched the Lake Gods' condition worsen.

"They won't last long! Once their strength is exhausted, Wang Luo will repeatedly alter the memories of the three of us until he finds the 'perfect script' that can completely deceive us to achieve his goal!"

We must find a way to solve the problem at its root.

"Don't worry, at least it seems like he can't choose when the rollback occurs."

Natsume didn't know the principle behind it either, but judging from these rewinds, the time points when Wanglu went were all when she met him and Zhulan.

"We need the power of spacetime...either find Celebi, or..."

"Red Sun! What is Giratina's current state? Can it still use its power?"

Natsume asked urgently.

"Especially—the power of time!"

If I remember correctly, Dialga's divine authority is balanced within Giratina's body.

Akagi, barely able to focus amidst the chaos, replied palely, "Giratina exhausted everything to initiate the fusion of the two worlds... It's now in a peculiar state of 'diffusion,' maintaining the fusion process... However, a portion of Dialga's divine fragments does indeed remain balanced within it."

Dialga, the god of time.

That's the only hope right now.

Natsume made a decisive decision: "Take us to Giratina! It's the only one who might possess the ability to interfere with Wangluo's time-reversal! We must find him and eliminate him before he finds our cognitive loopholes in his next time-reversal, or the time after that!"
