Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

Asuna fell silent; silence was the Cambridge of tonight.

After successfully making this contact, Asuna's feelings were probably...

I'm going to die! ...

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

Nothing can describe Asuna's current mood; it's truly terrible.

Asuna was in a pretty good mood and was gradually getting used to life in the Kazama family. Although she still found Rie Kugimiya a bit annoying, she accepted the woman's existence.

But why does this happen?

Asuna scratched her hair helplessly, caught in a deep dilemma.

I never expected that what was left there should have just been an unconscious mass of energy. Why did it develop such self-awareness?

Asuna was in a real bind. According to Damaranchi, this imposter Creator God had mixed up the Sinnoh Triads and the Unova Triads, and even Ho-Oh and Lugia had been captured. The situation had really gotten out of hand.

What worries Asuna even more is that Lugia and Ho-Oh went to Sinnoh with Kazama Shiramaki. If something happens to Ho-Oh and Lugia, it means that Kazama Shiramaki is not safe either.

I feel like I need to get to Sinnoh right away!!!

However, Asuna is now forced to confront a cruel reality: she is currently portrayed as a child with no independent ability to act, and it is impossible for her to simply disappear like this.

If Asuna and Mewtwo suddenly disappear together, then it's inevitable that her identity will be exposed later.

Asuna knew that her identity would inevitably be discovered by Rie Kugimiya, but she didn't want that, she really didn't want that.

She loves her current life, so she absolutely doesn't want to lose it. If there were any other possibilities, she would never choose the terrible possibility of exposing her identity!

"That's true, but what reason would Mewtwo need to take me away in a reasonable way?" Asuna, who wasn't very good at social skills, began to think about various possibilities.

It seems there is a way!

"Mewtwo, wake up!" Arceus called out to Mewtwo, who was pretending to be asleep: "We need to discuss something!"

"Sigh." Mewtwo sighed softly. Actually, she didn't want to think about such a complicated problem, and she could roughly imagine what Asuna would say to her, but she didn't seem to have the right to refuse, did she?

————————————————————————————————————————

"How sudden! I didn't expect to be going to Sinnoh so suddenly." Rie Kugimiya happily packed her luggage, busily moving up and down the stairs, packing her own clothes, Asuna's clothes, and Mewtwo's clothes.

Of course, Rie Kugimiya didn't know that neither Mewtwo nor Asuna needed these things; theoretically, the only one who needed luggage was Rie Kugimiya herself.

Seeing Rie Kugimiya bustling around with bags and packages, Asuna was at a loss for words.

'What should we do?' Asuna secretly communicated with Mewtwo using telepathy.

Even if you ask me, I can't help it. Who knew things would turn out this way?

Mewtwo was quite helpless. Originally, he was supposed to explain to Rie Kugimiya that Asuna with the belt was going to Sinnoh to handle the household registration transfer, but he didn't expect Rie Kugimiya to suddenly change her mind.

That's Sinnoh, the place where Kazama Shiramo became the champion. Besides, Kazama Shiramo is currently on a business trip to the Sinnoh region. Rie Kugimiya instantly had her own plan in mind.

Since Mewtwo is taking Asuna back to handle the household registration matters, why don't I go along too? A family should be together!

"Love's magic spins around..." Rie Kugimiya hummed excitedly, in a very strange tune that had a strange kind of magic to it.

'What should I do? How can I stop her? How can I stop this crazy woman?' Arceus asked Mewtwo, hoping for an answer. Of course, Mewtwo obviously couldn't offer Arceus any good advice.

Is it fair to say that Rie Kugimiya was too easily persuaded? This naive woman not only readily believed Mewtwo's story, but even suggested going together.

Not only that, Rie Kugimiya is also exceptionally decisive when she makes a decision. Just like when she confessed her feelings, she immediately turned down her next work assignment and started packing her clothes.

Asuna, who wanted to refuse to bring Rie Kugimiya along, didn't know how to start the conversation. It seemed like she didn't even have a chance to speak.

"What's wrong, Mewtwo and Asuna? Why are you standing there like that?" Rie Kugimiya asked curiously, looking at the bewildered Mewtwo and Asuna standing there. "I've already packed your clothes. Don't you have anything else to take?"

"It seems like there's nothing I need to bring..." After all, Mewtwo isn't a human girl, so she doesn't need to bring a whole bunch of super troublesome things, from cosmetics to skincare products to sanitary napkins, and Asuna is even less of a need.

"Ah, Rie's mom, did you pack my snacks?" Asuna suddenly realized and smiled at Rie Kugimiya every day.

"That's right!" Rie Kugimiya suddenly realized and ran upstairs to pack snacks for Asuna.

Watching Rie go upstairs, Mewtwo looked at the tiny Asuna and asked, "Are you really going to take her? We're not going to register our household registration, and we're not going on vacation."

"I have no choice," Asuna said in despair, like a little kitten. "I can only take her with me. After all, she is a trainer with some combat ability, and with us watching over her, there shouldn't be any major problems. It's just a little troublesome when doing certain things. We just need to be careful not to expose ourselves in front of her."

"I just don't think this is a solution." Mewtwo raised its head and stared helplessly at the ceiling. Downstairs, they could hear Rie Kugimiya rummaging through drawers and cabinets. It sighed.

To be honest, Mewtwo doesn't dislike fighting; in fact, it somewhat enjoys the feeling of battle. However, this doesn't mean Mewtwo is willing to bring a burden into the battlefield.

This isn't meant to belittle Rie Kugimiya. While Rie Kugimiya is actually quite strong, she would be a real burden in a battle of that level.

Fighting without being detected by the opponent is really too much for Mewtwo...

Chapter 158 Escape Route

“It’s on the outskirts of Zhuqing City.” Cynthia glanced around and was certain that after leaving the Reverse World, Kazama Shiramo and his group had indeed returned to the vicinity of Zhuqing City. Although there were some discrepancies, the general judgment was correct.

Once you've returned to the outskirts of Zhuqing City, you should be able to determine the route ahead.

"If we want to leave Lucky City as quickly as possible, we should escape south of Lucky City, take Route 202 to Sandstone Town, and then take Route 219 and Route 220 to reach the sea bordering Sinnoh. At that point, the safety level will be much higher." Cynthia calculated the retreat route. Sinnoh was no longer an option; this was probably the fastest escape route. Once they reached the sea, they would be in Kyogre's territory, and the safety level would be much higher.

However, this decision was immediately refuted by Kazama Shiramo.

“No!” Kazama Shiramo shook his head and looked at Cynthia. The night breeze was as cold as Kazama Shiramo’s tone: “This is absolutely not going to work. It is indeed the fastest route to escape Sinnoh, but Giratina’s intelligence is not so low as to not have thought of this.”

"Although the three dragons of Unova are three idiots, Giratina is undoubtedly one of the few first-tier gods with a high level of intelligence. Perhaps other idiots wouldn't think this far ahead, but Giratina couldn't possibly be unaware of this."

"Furthermore, with Palkia, the God of Space, on the other side, even if I'm confident in Flygon's speed, I'm not sure I can escape the God of Space's pursuit." Kazama Shiramo touched the Poké Ball at his waist, which barely gave him a sliver of confidence: "Compared to escaping directly to the sea, I think it's more appropriate to have a better place to escape to."

"Where?" Kyogre fiddled with his fingers, his eyes drifting up to look at Kazama Shiro. Although he was incredibly weak and submissive in bed, Kazama Shiro was very reliable in this situation.

“Mt. Tenguan!” Kazama Shiramo said decisively. This location was the direction Kazama Shiramo had thought about for a long time before deciding on. It was a direction completely opposite to the escape from Masago Town, and it couldn’t even be called an escape from the Sinnoh region. It was actually moving closer to the center of the Sinnoh region.

"Are you serious, senpai?" Cynthia stared wide-eyed at Kazama Shiromo in disbelief, completely unable to comprehend what he was thinking to suggest something that sounded like suicide.

"I'm not joking, I'm doing it." Kazama Shiramo's intentions were very clear, and he trusted his judgment.

This behavior is similar to three people with low health escaping in the jungle. One side is near their own high ground, and running towards that side will allow them to reach safety as quickly as possible. However, the enemy is a very fast-moving chasing hero. If they run along the normal route, they will easily be caught. But if the enemy has no vision, going around to the dark enemy jungle will actually greatly increase their chances of survival. As for how to safely leave the enemy jungle later, that is another issue to consider.

Having decided on their direction, Kazama Shiramo and his group's escape journey began!

————————————————————————————————————————————

“I need a detailed plan.” Arceus stared at Giratina. If we capture White Ink, I need you to provide a complete plan.

Logically speaking, having captured Ho-Oh and Lugia, the most important thing to do now is to go back and give these two guys a loving education to train them into two loyal henchmen. Arceus should be very happy to have captured these two guys, but in fact, Arceus is not happy at all.

Because there are things that are more worthy of our attention now.

“Your Highness…” Giratina knew that Arceus was in a completely irrational state, but as a strategist, Giratina felt that she should at least have the responsibility to advise him: “Right now, Kazama Shiramo is not the most important thing. Although we captured Ho-Oh and Lugia this time, we have also been completely exposed to the Pokémon League. The Pokémon League will definitely not sit idly by. We will be under much more pressure now. The League’s manpower should be dispatched soon. The most important thing now is not to capture Kazama Shiramo, but to quickly integrate Ho-Oh and Lugia into our own fighting force.”

"I don't care!" Arceus stared at Giratina. "I don't care what the Pokémon League's plans are. All I want right now is to capture that man and hold him in my grasp. Do you understand what I mean, Giratina?"

Arceus's pupils were fixed on Giratina, making it clear to Giratina that Arceus's determination was not just empty talk.

There was no other choice. Although pursuing Kazama Shiromo at this time would be an extremely unwise decision, there was no other option at the moment. After all, no intelligent being, whether human or Pokémon, could completely rely on reason to determine the course of a plan. From the moment Kazama Shiromo appeared, it meant that the previous plan needed to be completely changed.

What a sinful man he is, Giratina thought to himself, but still respectfully answered Arceus's question: "Kazama Shiramo and Kyogre should be able to easily flip the world and escape. The key is to know what they do after they escape."

“Kazama Shiramaki is highly skilled in psychic abilities, and with Kyogre by his side, Cynthia has likely already betrayed us. This means our plans and situation have been completely exposed to Kazama Shiramaki.” Giratina, avoiding Arceus’s gaze, spoke confidently: “Kazama Shiramaki isn’t stupid. After learning about our strength, he will definitely choose to escape immediately. Only by escaping the Sinnoh region and reaching the sea, with the vast ocean and the dominator of the sea, Kyogre, will they have a chance to escape.”

"So if they want to leave the Sinnoh region and reach the sea, after leaving the Reverse World, they will definitely travel as fast as possible south of Lucky City, passing through Sand Village to reach the edge of the sea, and escape from there."

"If they reach the sea, it will be very difficult to catch them. They can use Kyogre to escape into the deep sea, and even if Lugia has finished brainwashing them, it will be difficult to do anything to them."

"What are the odds of catching her?" Arceus stared intently at Giratina...

P.S. I actually still have manuscripts, but the recent sensitive word list makes it very difficult to publish chapters.

Chapter 159 Rayquaza Deploys

"What are the odds of catching her?" Arceus stared intently at Giratina...

Giratina broke out in a cold sweat instantly; the probability was really hard to say.

After all, there are too many uncertainties, such as Kazama Shiro's current location, how fast the opponent is moving, and even which route Kazama Shiro will choose to escape. Too many variables make it difficult to discuss the outcome.

All we can say is that Arceus's best card right now is Palkia, the god of space, which is obviously an absolute weapon in the pursuit.

But even with Palkia in hand, honestly, Giratina's chances of winning aren't that high. So how do you answer Arceus?

But actually, the probability doesn't really matter. If Kazama Shiramo really escapes, no matter how confident we are now, the outcome seems to be the same. He will definitely be beaten to a pulp by Lord Arceus.

It's like that wonderful scene from elementary school when you barged into the girls' restroom, got your parents called in, and then your parents came home and ended up on the doorframe for a mixed doubles beating.

"Just do your best." Giratina looked up at Arceus and just stared at him quietly, without any other thoughts. All she could say was that she would do her best. There was no point in saying anything more in this matter, especially when dealing with such a difficult prince.

Arceus glanced at Giratina and roughly understood what Giratina was thinking. Arceus was just a little flustered because of Kazama Shiramo. This man made Arceus lose his mind.

Even if he's lost his mind, Arceus is determined to seize this opportunity. Letting it slip by would be a lifelong regret. If he can capture him, if he can capture Bai Mo…

"Palkia, you set off immediately to chase after Bai Mo. Take Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom with you. If you can find him, I will not allow you to fail. Do you understand what I mean?" Arceus stared at Palkia, his words conveying an unyielding tone.

Pachiruya understood what the other party meant. With the three Unova Dragon Gods, his side's fighting power would definitely be able to suppress the other party. If that still didn't work, he could commit seppuku. However, the key was to find Kazama Shirasumi.

"Understood, Your Highness. I will depart immediately." Palkia nodded and left with the three Unova Dragon Gods.

Arceus looked out the window at the night sky. The hazy clouds obscured the sky, and only the outline of a faint moon could be seen. Not a single star could be seen. It was a dark and windy night, which seemed like the perfect time to escape. Looking at the night outside the window, Arceus's mood became somewhat heavy.

Although it was just a premonition, Arceus really had no confidence. He figured that Kazama Shirasumi would probably escape this time. Nothing could explain the outcome, but that was Arceus's feeling, and he couldn't do anything about it…

————————————————————————————————————————

Hoenn region, Sky Tower

At this somewhat chaotic moment, lights were still flashing in one of the rooms of the Sky Tower, and the sounds of game controllers being pounded were still incessant, indicating that the situation was extremely intense.

Cut him! Cut him! Kill him! Aaaaaah!

It was late at night, but Rayquaza, who was holed up in the Sky Tower, was still working hard. It would be great if he could put that kind of energy into other serious things.

However, staying awake late at night does have one advantage: for example, you can still make calls even at night.

At this moment, Damaranchi's communication interrupted Rayquaza, who was fighting hard.

Honestly, Rayquaza really didn't want to accept the role. People who don't play games simply can't understand someone who interrupts you when you're about to kill a PhD student, especially since this level can't be paused. It's practically killing Rayquaza!

However, there's nothing that can be done. If Rayquaza were still the original Rayquaza, it definitely wouldn't pay attention to this harassment. But since the other party is its benefactor who provides it with money, Rayquaza can still tell what's more important.

Without money, there would be no figurines, no comics, no game consoles—nothing at all, not even the spiritual sustenance I rely on for survival. Okay, the other party certainly wouldn't dare not pay, but they're definitely capable of withholding money to punish that wicked old man.
