So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 348 Cynthia: Wei Xin, just for my sake, use your super-countering power against the Time-Space Gods.

"Don't make a fuss, making me sound like a bad woman who played with your body and feelings and then walked away without looking back," Cynthia said.

"While I did toy with your feelings, and it's true that changing Arceus's will requires your voluntary sacrifice, the process doesn't necessarily require cutting and pasting. I lied to you only to ensure your will was genuine—why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry with me?"

"No, I'm not angry with you." Wei Xin lowered his head, gazing at the golden Arceus egg in his hand, which was surrounded by a golden halo. In the instant he discovered that Cynthia, in the face of his sacrifice, did not have the slightest thought of stopping him, the truth flashed through Wei Xin's mind.

Wei Xin tried his best to control himself and not think in that direction. He even blurted out all the unspeakable thoughts in his mind to ensure that he was purely prepared to die, like publicly revealing his browser records before he died.

In a way, there is indeed an extraordinary understanding between him and Cynthia.

But now he realizes he can't die, and the only person who's ever looked at his browser history is right next to him, holding a stack of incriminating evidence and leverage over him, watching his reaction with keen interest. His expression and feelings are equally complex: "I just want some peace and quiet?"

"Quiet? Another new name. I've noted it down," Cynthia teased. "But considering you redeemed yourself and your final confession was quite heartfelt—"

"You're not angry with me anymore?" Hope reappeared in Wei Xin's eyes.

"Impossible, you're dead as soon as you get out." Cynthia crossed her arms and made a large X in front of her chest, coldly announcing Wei Xin's death.

Wei Xin's heart was broken, and Yuan was injured.

"Forget it, the death penalty is better than imprisonment without a wife."

The fact that she's angry means she still cares about me and there's still a chance.

Wei Xin changed the subject, saying, "I just can't quite believe it. Even though it was a plan you and I devised together, Arceus, the legendary creator, was actually born just like that? It feels a bit hasty, or rather, too simplistic."

"The birth of life is inherently hasty and simple," said Chi Ri, a science student who had been sitting silently for a long time. "In the end, the origin of life was nothing more than a swimming race between tadpoles. Two cells that are invisible to the naked eye came into close contact, decompressing and running the code that life had accumulated over tens of thousands of years. With the help of a large amount of matter, consciousness was born, continued to grow, and bore fruit that can be called a miracle."

"So the world is a giant computer, and we are just a string of code being decompressed," Chi Ri sighed, with a hint of resentment. "But this string of code also has its meaning, and even the creator does not have the right to delete it at will."

"It's not that complicated," Cynthia added. "What you saw was just the beginning and end of a ritual. But behind this ritual is a blueprint drawn with blood and sacrifice by a certain world's Sakaki, using the entire world as a testing ground. There is also the power of matter, and the almost perfect theoretical plan devised by the wisest doctor in another world. And I spent nearly twenty years creating a possibility for your world with a world of consciousness and a world of reality as sacrifices. And it is an experiment that cannot be replicated again."

"By the way, Wei Xin," Chi Ri said, as if he had just remembered something, "the story you mentioned before also has two theatrical versions. Are they true or false?"

"Really, do you need me to give you a spoiler?"

According to the original script, after being in a coma for decades, the protagonist awakens to find that his desire to save others triggers the Third Impact, completely destroying the Earth's ecosystem. Not only does he fail to rescue the girl, but he also wipes out the vast majority of the world's inhabitants. Amidst accusations from his former teammates and with the guidance and understanding of the second male lead, the Apostle Ki, he decides to use the Creator's remains to reshape the world. However, he is troubled by the schemes of the mastermind behind the scenes and his own impetuousness, causing the only person who wholeheartedly cares for him to sacrifice himself in his place.

Ultimately, this led to the world's utter destruction, causing him to fall into complete isolation. Finally, under his mother's guidance, he resolved his inner conflicts and attempted to rewrite the world once again. In the final battle against the mastermind behind the scenes, he reconciled with himself, his family, and the world, completed his own transformation, saved everyone, and ultimately created an ordinary world without catastrophes or extraordinary powers.

Setting aside the possibility that the Cruel Angels' Action Theory might turn into a Cruel Cattle-like situation, it's a completely happy ending, which is cause for celebration.

"Wei Xin, I'd like to ask, if your method doesn't cure me, do you have any other methods?"

Wei Xin was somewhat surprised that Chi Ri had actually taken the initiative to inquire about the treatment plan. This was fantastic news, as it meant that Chi Ri's mental problems were almost completely resolved, and that he even had the talent to be a spiritual mentor.

"Don't worry, I conservatively estimate there are four more treatment options, which will definitely be more effective than this," Wei Xin said confidently, patting his chest.

There are actually four more types! Wei Xin's words made Chi Ri's hair stand on end. If this disease can't be cured, he'll probably have to suffer even more. He'd better cooperate and get it over with as soon as possible.

"Can you let me go back and finish the rest of the dream?" Chi Ri asked.

"Absolutely," Wei Xin agreed. Just then, the tram the three of them were riding on stopped, and the tram door next to Chi Ri opened.

Chi Ri stood up and walked to the door, but his feet dangled in mid-air. He turned and asked, "Wei Xin, the script you gave me must be a heavily modified version, right? Does the original storyline really include a Mega Starmie?"

He couldn't quite accept the huge and abstract bizarre creature.

"Actually, the original version should have been a giant bio-mecha called Unit-01," Wei Xin said. He made the drastic changes to the plot to prevent problems with the surgery caused by errors in the worldview. He pulled out a poster from somewhere and handed it to Chi Ri. "This is the original artwork, but it's not much different from Mega Starmie."

Chi Ri opened the poster.

A massive, sleek purple mecha, combining metallic and bio-material textures, abruptly rose from the towering steel jungle, startled, and glared fiercely at Wei Xin: "You call this similar? Aside from the color, tell me, where am I similar?"

Your mech also receives a national subsidy, so why are you taking such a large cut?

As a science-oriented guy with a passion for mechanics, he simply couldn't resist such a mecha: "Put my Evangelion Unit-01 back."

He would die happy just to be able to pilot Unit-01 in his dream.

"Alright." Wei Xin agreed to Chi Ri's request, also with a bit of selfish motive. If he could use Chi Ri's dream to replicate the research data of Unit-01, it would be great to use it for the repair of Iron Warrior. The research on bond and synchronization rate, as well as the method to increase the level cap of Pokémon, were all important data.

With anticipation and satisfaction, Akari stepped out of the tram car.

Unit-01, here I come!

After Akari left, the tram fell silent instantly.

"So, it's just us left?" Cynthia asked.

"Well, it's just us left," Wei Xin hesitated, unsure how to begin.

Are you asking me if I'll disappear?

No, I'm thinking of ways to keep you here.

"You actually want to have both of me by yourself, you're so greedy."

"Yes, I admit it, is that not allowed?" Wei Xintian shamelessly retorted.

"You're quite impressive for coming up with a solution," Cynthia said, looking away. "Before you figure out a solution, there must be other problems."

"Yes, Arceus. Approximately how long will it take to hatch? What impact will it have on reality? What do I need to do?"

"Conservatively speaking, it will take about a month to consume materials and energy. After you leave, you will need to spend a lot of time and energy taking care of the child. As for the impact, based on your research, simulations and speculations, the transformation of Giratina into Arceus may have an impact on both the Reverse World and the Real World, and may produce a phenomenon similar to fusion."

"Integration?"

"Or rather, it's a projection, specifically manifested as many strange alternate dimensions. The spatial structure and the architecture within them are similar to the real world. There may be some special Pokémon in them. They are affected by time and space. Also, when Pokémon enter special environments, they will squeeze out their potential to protect themselves, resulting in a high level. They may also become extremely aggressive due to the stress of unfamiliar environments."

"Got it, version update, right?" Wei Xin said helplessly. He would be busy again after leaving, including the incubation of Arceus. After that, he would need to ask the professor for about a month of maternity leave. Although he was about to graduate, he was still nominally a member of the research center.

Cynthia continued, "You even gave this space a name."

"Metaverse or a secret realm?"

"No, call it Nibelungen."

Wei Xin:

[”

I've confirmed the name; it's something I'm capable of doing.

"However, before dealing with the Nibelungen, there is one very important thing I need you to do," Shirona said, taking Wei Xin's hand and gazing into his dark eyes. "If you fail to do it, it could have very serious consequences."

"What is it?"

"Because the Reverse World disappears, Dialga and Palkia, who were trapped inside, will break free from the dream world the moment we wake up and appear in the city. To be precise, they will appear in your home. You know their relationship is like Groudon and Kyogre. They will fight as soon as they meet, and you can't stop them. The aftermath may cause the city to disappear from the map."

"Wait a minute, didn't you subdue Dialga and Palkia?" Wei Xin exclaimed in surprise.

Fighting the two gods of time and space, me?

Regardless of whether Rayquaza, Thunder Drum, and Lugia can defeat them together, and the potential impact, even if it frightens the infant Arceus, the most crucial point is that he is at the center of the incident and has no opportunity to seek outside help. If Hoopa doesn't intervene, many innocent people around him will be affected.

"Yes, I subdued them with Giratina. Now that Giratina is gone, they're not satisfied and they still hold a grudge against me. I'll probably attack them even harder, and they might even team up against me, regardless of the potential damage."

Cynthia said, "Wei Xin, you wouldn't want me to die at the hands of Palkia and Dialga, would you?"

Your Cynthia is ——— a Sinnoh (the map designs for the earlier Pokémon series were based on Riben) ———

That's fine.

"Of course, I won't let them lay a hand on you. Tell me what to do." Wei Xin lowered his eyebrows, his gaze sharp.

"While there's some difference, it's still a decent expression," Cynthia tilted her head, her smiling cheek resting on her shoulder. "So, is the naive Dr. Wei ready to receive the last gift from the previous civilization, the inheritance called the Superpower?"

"The power of overpowering?" Wei Xin looked down at Arceus, who was still unhatched in his arms. "Doesn't the power of overpowering need to be granted by Arceus? You don't want him to be born prematurely, do you? Or do you want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?"

Wei Xin hugged his unborn child tightly in his arms.

"That won't do. What if the child's development is impaired?"

This child is a miracle, a hope, the sun that will eventually rise, and most importantly, he is his son.

"How could that be? I also contributed to the creation of Arceus. I worked hard to create him, not to be your fried egg." Cynthia tapped Wei Xin on the head.

"True superhuman strength does indeed require Arceus to bestow, but that doesn't mean we can't simulate it. Nothing is absolute. Guess who proposed this theory?"

"It can't be me again, can it?" Wei Xin was stunned. He lamented that he could create alpacas and super-powers with his bare hands in his first playthrough. He must have maxed out his intelligence. If he had been given more time to develop, how could Giovanni have had a chance?

"Besides you, who else?" Cynthia began to explain the theory of the Psychic Power. "The Psychic Power has two abilities. The first is the consciousness side, which allows people to enter the Pokémon's mental world and communicate with the Pokémon, calm the anger of legendary Pokémon, and even directly control legendary Pokémon. The second is the material side, which transcends the boundaries of time and space and summons legendary Pokémon. And we have three legendary Pokémon by our side that represent the highest level of consciousness."

Cynthia's words reminded Wei Xin of the original story, where the Crimson Sun Layer used the power of the three gods in the lake to create a special red chain and forcibly control the two gods of time and space. Could this be considered a kind of overpowered force dominated by personal will?

The theatrical version, on the other hand, uses telepathy to calm the Pokémon's anger, which is a relatively gentler approach.

Azelf and Uxie emerged from behind Cynthia and Weixin respectively: "Once the Sun awakens with Memrigold, you'll be able to use half of the Superpower."

"Why me? Can't you use it yourself? Or is it that you're unwilling to give such a good thing even to yourself?" Wei Xin asked.

"You're so vain," Cynthia pouted. "Of course it's because of your constitution. You've had contact with the three legendary Pokémon and Arceus, and you carry their aura and marks. You can barely be considered a first-generation super-powered Pokémon user, and you're a hybrid, so you have a natural affinity for Pokémon and can control this power more effectively. As for me, someone in my ancestors did indeed have a relationship with a super-powered Pokémon user."

It's Wangluo, it must be Wangluo, right? Wei Xin sighed inwardly. To obtain the power of a legendary Pokémon, Wangluo, you actually didn't hesitate to sell your beauty, and you might even have sold your genitals.

I despise you!

"Unfortunately, I didn't inherit it, but I do know a little about how to use it."

"Actually, I already know the remaining six, seven, eight, and nine," Wei Xin joked with a smile.

"Huh?" Cynthia's mouth gaped open as she saw the little yellow fairy floating behind Wei Xin. "By the way, with Yuxie around, you can browse any knowledge and heritage that exists in the world without any conditions."

Pure knowledge, in terms of its application, is far more difficult than emotion and willpower, but when it encounters the right person, it can definitely go the furthest.

"In that case, new Superb Messenger, are you ready?" Cynthia asked.

"I'm ready." Sitting inside the colossal purple mechanical giant, Akari stared at the Gaius Spear in his hand, which Dr. Blatano had sent at the cost of his life. He held the Gaius Spear in front of him, a spiral-shaped spear aimed at his and Unit-01's chests, closed his eyes, and waited for the spear to pierce through him and Unit-01.

Just as the spear was about to touch his body, a hand appeared and blocked Chi Ri's path: "Chi Ri, you are not from this world, Loto. There is no need for you to sacrifice yourself for this world."

As Akari was pushed out of Unit-01, she opened her eyes in surprise, turned around, and saw a familiar face.

-

It was Rotom, gazing at him tenderly, saying nothing more.

Rotom, piloting Unit-01, gripped his spear and plunged it into both the unit and Unit-01's body, unleashing a blinding burst of light. Under the influence of the Genesis Impact, the consciousness that had dissipated due to the impact scattered, and countless independent individuals and souls fell from the sky, and the world began to be reshaped.

In the darkness of my vision, lines of text appeared.

Evangelion: The Last Impact (Revised)

Director: Wei Xin; Screenwriter: Hideaki Anno; Cinematography: Darkrai; Akari as Shinji Ikari; Mars as Rei Ayanami; Jupiter as Asuka; Dr. Syracuse as Misato Katsuragi; Pluto as Gendo Ikari; Rotom as Yui Ikari; Wei Xin as Kaworu Nagisa; Karni as Mari. Akari opens his eyes again to a familiar old train station. On the other side of the platform, Wei Xin is talking to Gardevoir. The passersby around him are all accompanied by their Pokémon partners. Humans have once again regained the ability to form bonds with their Pokémon.

The light hanging on the utility pole turned from green to red, and the tram pulled into the station with the sound of its horn. Akari closed his eyes, listening to familiar music through his headphones.

"When I first arrived at the Louvre, I didn't feel anything —"

"Don't be so sure! The Louvre has been robbed, and the stuff is available on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Chi Ri, and two hands pulled off his earphones, saying anxiously, "The dream is about to end, there's no time left."

"What do you mean it's too late? What are you doing? Ouch!"

Before Chi Ri could react, Wei Xin and Xi Luona simultaneously lifted him up. He sighed inwardly, thinking that these two were not only singing and dancing in front of him, but even trying to take him onto the stage. What kind of nonsense was this?

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the three climbed the stairs and leaped towards the light at the top.

Almost simultaneously, the three people in the living room opened their eyes. Through the huge French windows, Palucci and Dialga's figures shifted from illusion to reality, bursting through the ceiling of Weixin Villa, smashing through the walls, and roaring angrily at the sky, each other, and the humans at their feet, all under the rising dawn.
