Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Unexpectedly, this song actually has the effect of subtly enhancing superpowers? I looked up at the Tower of Time and Space, which had calmed down.

"If necessary, we can make a copy of all these songs after this is over," Xia Yan murmured.

"what?"

“No.” Xia Yan shook his head. “It can only help you if you don’t know how to appreciate it. Sometimes, the effect of a song is even stronger than that of a certain power.”

In the original theatrical version, it was the song "Oracion" played by the Tower of Time that calmed Dialga and Palkia's anger.

However, Xia Yan couldn't guarantee 100% that an "Oracion" would have the same effect here.

To place all one's hopes on a song.

That's not his style.

In the unlikely event that Olathion only played a supporting role, the one who truly proved crucial was the fallen Darkrai.

Xia Yan, however, used this song as a lifeline, but it backfired and he was not given a second chance.

Make multiple preparations.

That has always been his habit.

Knowing about the existence and function of "Oracion" at most gives Xia Yan a trump card to protect him.

He will only try something when there is absolutely no other way.

After all, his main purpose in coming to Poplar Town was to rescue Darkrai, who was prone to making foolish mistakes.

If everything is predicated on Darkrai's demise, then it's not worth the risk.

Nobody knows if Darkrai will ever be resurrected again.

"The power of music can indeed move the soul," Cynthia remarked after listening.

Du pouted.

"We've already talked to Tony, what's next?"

“Find Darkrai,” Xia Yan said truthfully.

It was Darkrai who summoned them.

Xia Yan came, but Darkrai did not appear.

This surprised Xia Yan.

In his view, Darkrai should have appeared when he arrived in Ashford.

Cynthia frowned. "He appeared in your dream seeking help, but when you came, he didn't show up. That doesn't make sense."

She voiced Xia Yan's doubts.

Xia Yan nodded.

Darkrai's words when he ended his dream flashed through his mind.

He unconsciously pressed his temple.

"That guy, he won't do anything stupid, will he?"

“White Poplar Town isn’t very big, but it’s not small either. If Darkrai is hiding, it won’t be easy for us to find it,” Du said.

That's the problem.

Darkrai definitely knew that Xia Yan had come to Baiyang Town.

There's only one explanation for its absence: it's hiding from Xia Yan.

Why hide? If it wants to hide, it won't be easy for Xia Yan to find it.

After thinking it over, Xia Yan finally decided to change his strategy.

"Fine, let's go find that big shot first."

"Big boss?"

Xia Yan raised the corners of his mouth.

"He's a real big shot."

It was precisely because his mentor, Kikuko, was a big shot in Sinnoh that Xia Yan dared to come to Ashtown so openly.

That's a real big shot.

Unlike Wataru and Cynthia, who will become powerful figures in the future, this powerful figure is strong from beginning to end.

"Go buy some small gifts, then go pay your visit."

The three walked toward the gradually bustling night market.

"I feel like I've overlooked something very crucial, but what is it?" Xia Yan thought to himself as he walked.

He felt like there was something he hadn't been able to grasp.

at this time.

In a chaotic, disordered, and obscure space-time rift.

Time and space collide violently here.

In a void of chaos, two imposing figures constantly clashed and collided, causing violent spatial and temporal tremors.

boom!!

A clash between mythical beasts is enough to annihilate everything.

Each collision creates ripples and waves within the chaos, enough to destroy a city.

Wherever the ripples passed, space and time became blurred, evolving into a spatial turbulence that terrified anyone who heard of it.

However, these two figures were not the only ones present here.

The unknown totems dwelling in the cracks of time and space surround the two beings, constantly calming the ripples and waves that are rising.

However, their abilities seem to be incomplete, as they can only quell half of the situation each time.

The unknown totems, however, continued to indulge in this activity, as if the ripples in this spacetime were their best nourishment.

boom!!

Another collision ensued.

The chaotic spacetime rift suddenly came to a standstill.

Time and space seemed to freeze into a single image.

The two great beings finally stopped here.

It is a dinosaur with a gray body covered in purplish-black stripes, resembling a bipedal walking dinosaur. The huge pearls on the two discs on its shoulders emit an unusual and beautiful color.

Palkia, the god of space! Meanwhile, on the other side...

A colossal azure beast, equally imposing, was covered in silver patterns that spread out like metallic edges. It stood on four limbs, and a square, gleaming blue gemstone shone brightly on its chest.

Dialga, the god of time! Upon seeing this, the unidentified totems quickly hid to the side.

The brief pause does not mean they are giving up, but rather that they are gathering their strength.

next second.

Palkia's arm was enveloped in red spatial power, and with a "Void Slash," space shattered into dust.

Dialga roared in fury, and "Time Roar" spread with its roar.

Two powerful forces of rules collided, intertwined, tore apart, and annihilated.

The ripples dispersed the unknown totem and temporarily forced back the two great beings.

Palukia glanced at his right arm, where the spatial orb was now riddled with cracks.

"Roar--!!"

Palkia roared in frustration, turned and cleaved through space, disappearing into a certain direction within the spacetime rift.

Dialga knew his nemesis was not in good condition at the moment, but he had no intention of giving up. He trembled time, causing chaos in the flow of time, and stepped across a vast distance to catch up.

The entire crevice returned to calm.

After withstanding the initial shockwaves of the collision, the unknown totem huddled together and gave chase.

slam-la-

however.

After they left, sounds suddenly reappeared in the peaceful space.

The clanging of metal, the friction of chains—several bright red chains appeared out of thin air, intertwined, radiating strange ripples that seemed to evoke some other kind of emotion.

A simple manor in Baiyang Town.

Xia Yan and his two companions stepped into the dim light of the night and knocked on the door.

Knock knock—

Before long, the door slowly opened.

A brighter light shone through the door, illuminating the three people's faces and casting three blurry, swaying shadows on the grass behind them.

Upon seeing who opened the door, Xia Yan immediately smiled and handed over the gift he had bought.

It's just a few small gadgets.

Laplace made of crystal.

When Cynthia saw who opened the door, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Watari's expression changed the most, filled with disbelief.

"Hehe - when we last met, I just thought you had a lot of potential, Xia Yan. I didn't expect that when we met again, you would have become famous."

The person who opened the door had a smile on their face, but it seemed like they hadn't smiled genuinely in a long time, so the smile wasn't very pleasant.

But Xia Yan and the others didn't care, and they knew what kind of person he was.

He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Liu, I apologize for disturbing you."

The person who opened the door was none other than the former Ice-type Elite Four member of the Kanto region, Liu Bo! The "real powerhouse" that Xia Yan had mentioned.
