Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 369 With my second brother here! Wouldn't I be invincible?

I have wandered through the river of time, yet I have never known what longing is.

Giratina's voice was indifferent, carrying the detachment unique to gods.

"Alright, alright, that arrogant guy Liekong isn't here, so stop pretending to be aloof."

Bai Zhou interrupted its pretentious words in a casual tone, sounding rather impatient.

"We're like family, don't I know you? If you really didn't miss me, why did you bring me to the Reverse World? Don't tell me you got lost and just picked me up."

Giratina remained silent for a moment.

----snort."

Bai Zhou chuckled softly and stopped teasing it.

He knew that Giratina was just like that; he would say he didn't care, but in reality, he was more sentimental than anyone else.

Back then, this guy would always secretly follow him, pretending to be patrolling his territory, but actually he was protecting him.

"By the way, how long can you stay?"

Bai Zhou changed the subject.

"That alpaca guy is so stingy. He even makes summoning it a time-limited event, like topping up a phone account."

"How much did I top up? How many hours can I chat? Is it a monthly subscription?"

Giratina remained silent for a moment, automatically ignoring the latter part of his teasing remark about Arceus.

As the master of the Reversal World, it was already used to Bai Zhou's outspoken personality.

This world is not within my jurisdiction; it is rejected by the source.

Its voice remained indifferent, but a closer listen revealed a hint of regret.

It was only through a brief resonance caused by the power of spacetime displacement that it was able to appear for a day.

"So you can only stay for one day?"

Bai Zhou was somewhat disheartened, so he lay down on Giratina's back and looked up at the eternal darkness.

"Just one day—"

He dragged out his words, his tone full of disdain.

"What's that enough for? It'll be gone after a meal and a nap."

That's exactly right.

The Giratina's voice was devoid of emotion, but its swimming speed seemed to have slowed down.

However, it quickly added a sentence, and its arrogance was clearly evident in its voice.

However, I am the master of the reversed world, wielding the power over this realm. Even if it is only for a day, I can construct a directional passage connecting the two worlds here.

It paused, as if waiting for Bai Zhou's reaction.

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Giratina continued:

Once the passage is complete, thoughts can be transmitted at any time. Although I cannot personally descend across time and space, wherever my thoughts reach, that is where I am.

"So, you're saying you can come whenever you want?"

Bai Zhou's eyes lit up, and he suddenly sat up.

"With my second brother here, am I invincible?"

No."

Giratina responded calmly, mercilessly shattering his illusions.

The channel can only transmit a single thought.

"cut."

Bai Zhou lay back down, looking disgusted.

"To put it bluntly, it's just a live phone call; you can't even play the video in HD. It's pointless."

"I thought I could get you to come and help me fight, but what a disappointment."

Although he said that, he was actually quite satisfied.

We fought side by side for so long in our previous life, it would be a lie to say I don't miss you.

He's never been one to get sentimental, and he certainly doesn't say anything mushy.

It would be good if we could contact each other at any time.

Even if it can only summon consciousness, it's enough to scare people!

After lying down for a while, Bai Zhou remembered that there was one less important guy—Chi Ri.

"By the way, where's Akari? He should have been dragged into the Reverse World with me, right? Why haven't I seen him?"

'

Giratina did not answer immediately.

The silence lasted longer than before, so long that Bai Zhou sensed something was wrong and sat up again.

"What's wrong?"

He's somewhat special—

There was a rare hint of confusion in Giratina's voice.

The moment he entered the reversed world, he vanished without a trace; even I could not sense his presence.

Finally, it added one more sentence.

Just as he was meant to belong to the reversed world, it wasn't so much that he disappeared, but rather that he completely merged into it and vanished.

"Unknown fate? That means he's dead."

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow, gazing thoughtfully at the eternally dark void above, the floating debris, and the upside-down mountain peaks.

Has it all vanished?

He vaguely knew something, but he didn't intend to investigate further.

Exile can reverse the world, too.

Peaceful, disordered, without strife, without failure, without pain.

It actually fits quite well with his vision of a "new world".

There are many broken spaces, and I need to spend some time repairing them.

Giratina ended the conversation, her voice returning to its indifferent tone.

Once repairs are complete, you will be sent back to your original world.

It provides an approximate regression time.

But actually, it can send Bai Zhou and the others back right now.

As the master of the reversed world, this is a small matter that I can accomplish in the blink of an eye.

but----

It just wanted to stay with Bai Zhou a little longer.

Even if it's just for a day.

It didn't know how to express this emotion, nor could it say whether it counted as what humans call "longing".

"Okay—I'll take a nap then."

Bai Zhou stretched and lay back down, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He didn't expose Giradina's little scheme.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, let alone when a trainer and his Pokémon are reunited after a long separation.

Not to mention something like Giratina.

Even though I miss you, I insist on putting on a cool and aloof act, like I'm just passing by.

So cute~

In the short time that followed, the social terrorist Gengar had already flown to the top of Giratina's head and seamlessly taken over the conversation.

I don't know what they were talking about, but Gengar even took out a small notebook and started writing and drawing seriously, occasionally looking up to ask a few questions.

And Giratina, the aloof and majestic ruler of the Reversal World, actually let it run wild on its head.

Not only did it not shake it off, it even nodded slightly, as if in response to its question.

Bai Zhou couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.

If other trainers saw this, they would probably be shocked.

He waved to the remaining little ones.

The Growlithe immediately wagged its tail and ran around him in circles, round and round, as if it never got tired.

The ugly fish found a comfortable position next to him and splashed around, looking somewhat comical, yet exuding an indescribable cuteness.

Gardevoir sat quietly to the side, using its psychic powers to pick up Larvitar, who was sucking its paw and spacing out.

Then an invisible barrier was woven to envelop this small space.

so good.

Bai Zhou closed his eyes, ready to have a good night's sleep.

After all, he had been tormented by that madman Chi Ri for so long, and his body and mind were exhausted to the extreme.

But at that moment...

A slight tremor suddenly came from his cuff.

The tremor was so slight that it was almost imperceptible unless you had just relaxed.

Bai Zhou looked down and saw a white paper figure emerge from it.

It's the paper sword next to Chi Ri.

At this moment, its eyes were flashing an eerie red light.

Bai Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted.

not good-

next moment.

The ground beneath him was twisted and sunken.

An ultimate, bizarre cave, radiating an eerie purple light, opened up beneath him without warning!

Although Bai Zhou reacted immediately and instinctively wanted to dodge.

But the weakness in his body prevented him from making any effective movements.

Just this half-beat.

He plunged into it and disappeared.

"Owner!!!"

Before Gardevoir could even finish its exclamation, its mental energy had already gone berserk!

A pale pink light enveloped it completely, and without hesitation, it activated teleportation, its figure flashing as it chased after the rapidly closing Ultimate Aberration!

However, it was ultimately too late.

A furious roar, powerful enough to tear apart space and time, exploded with a deafening boom!

Giratina's massive body trembled violently!

Those crimson eyes, hidden in the darkness, suddenly opened, like two blood moons, radiating an unprecedented aura of rage.

Who dares—

How dare they take away its contractor right under its nose?!

The entire reversed world, in that instant.

Violent trembling!

the other side.

Inside the ultimate alien cave.

At this moment, Bai Zhou and Zhi Yujian are gazing deeply into each other's eyes, the atmosphere delicate and subtle.

All around were constantly flowing streams of azure energy, meandering through the void.

Occasionally, you can see several spiral-shaped openings flashing by, connecting to all sorts of ultimate spaces.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

So, I'm saying—

He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, then at the innocent-looking little piece of paper in front of him, and made a conclusion.

"You dragged me into the Ultimate Abyss just so I could help you return to your original world?"

"Paper----"

Paper Sword nodded, and a hint of guilt could be seen on his paper-thin face.

The small paper blade swayed gently in the air, as if expressing apology or explaining.

Bai Zhou understood.

It had a contractual relationship with the Red Sun, but now that the Red Sun has disappeared, the contract has automatically terminated.

As a Pokémon from another world, it naturally wants to return to its homeland.

only----

"Couldn't you have just said so from the beginning?"

Bai Zhou said with a helpless expression, reaching out to tug at the small paper blade of the paper sword.

It feels surprisingly good; the edges are sharp, but the body is very soft.

"It's not like I'm not going to help, why do you have to make such a fuss?"

Do you know how much I thought I was going to be exiled to some remote corner?

He sighed.

Now, he's truly all alone, without even a single Pokémon partner by his side.

Growlithe, Feebas, Larvitar, Gardevoir, and Gengar are all on the other side of the Distortion World.

If he encounters any danger in this ultimate space, he will only be able to rely on his weak body and his practically useless fighting skills.

"Paper----"

Paper Sword lowered his head and earnestly paid his respects.

It remained motionless as Bai Zhou's hands haphazardly twisted and turned its body, its sincere attitude making it impossible to continue blaming it.

"Okay, okay, I forgive you."

Bai Zhou wasn't really angry.

After all, he could sense Paper Sword's sincerity and apology.

This little guy isn't bad at heart, he's just not very good at expressing himself.

Or, to put it another way, the expression is more direct.

Moreover, this unexpected arrival at the Ultimate Cavern wasn't without its benefits.

He looked around, sensing the flowing energy around him.

A special energy permeates the entire Ultimate Cavern; it is the primordial power unique to the Ultimate Space.

This energy will actively attach itself to humans who enter this place and nourish their bodies.

In just a short while, the backlash he suffered from his body was significantly relieved.

The previous feeling of weakness is fading, replaced by a warm sensation, like soaking in a hot spring.

Even the power of super resistance is gradually recovering under the replenishment of this energy.

Not much, but enough.

"Alright, since you're already here, let me help you find a place to live first."

Bai Zhou moved his hands and feet to confirm that he had regained his basic mobility.

He looked at the paper sword, his eyes becoming serious.

"Spread your aura, and I'll use my super-counter power to help you find your way in this world."

"Paper!"

Paper Sword obeyed and did as instructed, its internal energy slowly dissipating and forming a unique fluctuation.

Bai Zhou simultaneously used his super-force to contact this energy, which then spread outwards.

In other words, the power of the super-counter is special enough to connect the minds of all living beings, regardless of the barriers of time and space.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to help Paper Sword find its way home.

Even if someone else were incredibly strong, they would be powerless against this labyrinth composed of countless ultimate spaces.

The search did not take long.

Soon, Bai Zhou sensed a location with a similar aura.

He opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Found it, come with me."

Guided by the power of the super-force, the person and the paper travel through the ultimate alien cave.

They passed through a series of spiral-shaped openings, each one like a brief journey through time and space.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance to an ultimate strange cave.

A vibrant green light shone from the cave entrance.

The light was soft, yet it contained a vibrant life force.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dense primeval forest.

It is covered with all kinds of towering trees, some soaring into the clouds, and some as thick as towers.

The tree trunks were covered with a thick layer of moss, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves and unknown vegetation.

On some of the lower branches, leaves shaped like the head of a paper sword grow.

The leaves were emerald green with sharp edges, intertwined and overlapping, swaying gently in the breeze and making a rustling sound.

It appears to possess a strange and eerie beauty.

However, the sky was overcast, and the scenery in the distance was completely obscured.

Above us were hazy clouds, no sun, no moon, only an eternal darkness.

"The Ultimate Forest —"

Bai Zhou recognized where he was.

In the game, this is precisely where the paper sword resides.

Looks like I made the right choice.

"Paper!"

Looking around at his surroundings, Paper Sword instantly became excited!

Its body transformed into a white light, flashing and weaving among the branches.

Wherever it passed, the leaves shaped like paper swords trembled gently.

It roams through this familiar forest, freely expressing the joy in its heart.

Suddenly, it seemed to remember something.

In a flash, he was back beside Bai Zhou.

From who knows where, it pulled out a black Poké Ball and solemnly handed it to Bai Zhou.

The Poké Ball was completely black, with strange black patterns on its surface, making it completely different from ordinary Poké Balls.

Bai Zhou immediately recognized it as a special ball used by Team Rainbow Rocket to forcibly restrain Pokémon.

He frowned slightly, just about to ask a question.

"Paper-

'

Paper Sword gave him a deep look.

In that glance, there was gratitude and blessing.

Then, before Bai Zhou could react, it vanished into the forest in an instant.

Only the gently swaying leaves and the fading scent remain.

Bai Zhou opened his mouth, then looked at the paper sword that had already disappeared.

Suddenly, a serious problem was discovered.

Paper Sword is gone.

That----

How is he supposed to get back?
