Ficool

Chapter 586 - 584

Gold stared at the horizon in astonishment. "Everyone, look! The radiance is shining on the land!"

Above the ruined Alph Ruins, a vast source of light hung like a second sun, shining down from the heavens over the land of Johto.

Then the sun that Arceus had become vanished.

The morning star glittered. At the far eastern edge of the sky, in the direction of Indigo Plateau, dawn broke, and the true sun appeared.

"Even though we barely survived this, I feel a little happy. Is this what hope feels like after despair?"

Crystal looked toward the distant horizon. Under everyone's gaze, Dialga and Palkia were bathed in Sinnoh's light, and their strength recovered in an instant.

They flew toward the far horizon, all the damage they had suffered wiped away.

At that moment, even Giratina, who had been dragging its feet until the very end, took flight.

By all rights, it should have been the first to run, but the steel dragon and the water dragon had already received the order to return. At the same time, its ancient grudge had been mediated by Arceus. That made Giratina feel that perhaps being created this time was not such a bad thing.

Although its ancient memories did not clearly state how the previous "itself" had died.

Still, it had surely been a sorrowful memory for Arceus.

In any case, it had been permitted to move about the realm of reality. It could freely fly near sunlit Sunyshore City, and the balance of the world would not be broken. Those two who had once driven it away would have no grounds to complain!

And what right did they have to say anything?

They had been exiled to the earth too!

Hikaru said, "That's right. This world really is strange. The steel dragon and the water dragon are the ones exiled by God, while you were not driven away by Arceus at all. Instead, you were repelled by them when you fought over the real world."

"But because of that, there's no barrier left between you and Arceus. Your personality may be the worst among all Giratina, but you were given the happiest opportunity."

"Still, you nearly missed that chance. If, at the very last moment, you had successfully run away like a coward…"

Giratina glanced at Hikaru and Leaf with awe, even fear.

It still could not understand where these two people had come from, nor did it understand what the person in front of it was talking about.

But somehow, it felt… it was probably lucky?

And so Giratina also soared into the high sky, opened a pitch-black hole, and entered the Distortion World.

What did he mean, "if you had successfully escaped"?

Did he really think it had not wanted to run?

They were bullying a youngster!

Leaf waved with a bright smile. "Are you leaving too? Come battle me again next time!"

"Gah?!"

Giratina was utterly terrified. It had wanted to run but could not. Now, at last, it fled in a panic.

Never again, white-hatted girl!

She was a monster!

Lance said, "Hm. They look as if nothing happened at all. But they clearly took massive damage in the battle just now, didn't they?"

Hikaru said, "That is Arceus's authority. As the ancient myths of other worlds say, it became the source of light and illuminated the darkened heavens and earth."

In the space-time of The Jewel of Life, the alpaca's sunlight could quickly restore injured lives. It was exactly like the ancient stories. Perhaps that later setting in Hisui also drew inspiration from the movie alpaca's display.

"This world is gradually moving onto the right path as well."

Although in the world of Pokémon Adventures, even in later generations, characters who suddenly came up with little ideas still appeared one after another.

"At least it won't be worse than before."

"Well done, Gold."

Beside Hikaru, Gold, who was swaying as he watched the gods depart, suddenly laughed and rubbed his nose.

"That was easy, easy! Something like Judgment? I could dodge most of it just by moving right!"

"I…"

The Hatcher wanted to say something, but his body suddenly swayed. A powerful sensation of weightlessness and dizziness surged up through him, and he abruptly fell toward the ground.

Silver caught Gold in time and supported him again.

"Yo! Thanks, buddy!"

Gold kept one eye closed, while the sight in his other eye rapidly blurred. "Whew. My life force is all burned out… I'm just burned-out trash right now."

Silver went pale. "Stop talking! The state you're in is almost like…!"

Crystal cried, "Gold! The injuries on your body… this could kill you!"

Fear rose in both of their hearts, as if they knew what was about to happen. But in the next instant, a beam of light shone down from the distant sky. The true sunlight seemed to contain Sinnoh's power as well, allowing Gold, whose life was nearly spent, to see again.

The first thing Mr. Gold saw was the lovely Miss Crystal. Under the sunlight, Miss Crystal looked even cuter.

"Oh! Crys! That outfit really suits you."

Because Gold praised her, Crystal's face instantly flushed red and she turned into a steam girl. Then she slapped Gold hard across the face.

"Ah! What nonsense are you saying?"

"I know this outfit doesn't suit me, but my mom forced me to wear it! If you want to laugh, then laugh!"

Silver's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly shielded Gold. "Wait! Crys! Stop, Gold's going to die if you hit him!"

Hikaru said, "The trust of those whose hearts were connected to Arceus was shattered, then joined together again. How could it let these kids die so easily?"

"Of course, I did have an item prepared for this moment too. Oh, right. In this world, even that item doesn't exist!"

Watching the scene in which Gold and Silver were the true love while Crystal was the unexpected extra, Leaf fell into thought.

"I've been thinking this since a moment ago."

Leaf looked at Hikaru, her expression meaningful, as if she had investigated the truth. "They keep saying I'm Green. No, should it be Blue? But doesn't this girl named Crystal also wear Lyra's clothes?"

"There is only one truth. So people in this world recognize others by their clothes and hairstyles?!"

Hikaru said, "Uh… if you put it that way, you're not really wrong."

Crystal, why are you wearing Lyra's clothes?

The answer: she was forgotten!

However, in this world, Crystal won her struggle against Lyra, and Lyra died in her struggle against Crystal… Crystal really was lucky!

Leaf let out a breath of relief and looked at her Pokédex. "I gathered plenty of research data. I scanned every corner of Giratina's body and recorded it in the Pokédex."

"This trip was definitely worth it. Now I kind of want to meet the Giratina of our world too."

Hikaru laughed. "The Giratina of our world has been properly doing its job protecting the world. It's been working nonstop since one hundred and fifty years ago, and its resolve is very strong!"

Leaf pondered that. She did not doubt Hikaru's words, because she had long since realized that this was definitely not the first time Hikaru had seen those three Legendary Pokémon.

"Looks like even the same Pokémon can have different histories in different worlds."

"What was that item you mentioned earlier, Manager?"

Hikaru had already prepared Sacred Ash in case something went wrong. However, because the Ho-Oh of the Adventures world had once been turned into a minion by Pryce's curse, this was also the only world where Ho-Oh had lost its cameraman job and suffered ultimate humiliation.

In the end, it seemed to be because this world's Ho-Oh did not have the power to make people happy.

Once the aura of happiness was lost, even Ho-Oh itself would become unfortunate.

Now that the item had no place to be used, Hikaru shook his head.

"Of course, in practice, we won't need this thing. Because heroes always appear at the very end."

Gold, who had finally recovered his breath after being beaten, hurriedly escaped from Miss Crystal's clutches and came over. "What's that supposed to mean? Forget it! I feel like all my strength is back! Thanks, backpack senior! I really owe you this time!"

"I was originally planning to leave my life here. Though it's not like this is the first time I've done something like that, so don't worry about it."

"I see. The direction where the sun rose is the same direction the Legendary Pokémon left. That must be the direction of the Sinnoh region, right?"

"But Arceus went toward the western sky… fighting to live, even if there's no tomorrow."

The Hatcher cupped his hands beside his mouth and shouted toward the western sky.

"Thank you, Arceus!"

"If you're watching us from all the universes, then we'll watch you from here too! Togetaro and I will both be watching you from here!"

"If everyone and every Pokémon can have their hearts joined, just like me and Togetaro right now…"

"If that also came from your blessing, then nothing could make me happier!"

"Next time you come to Johto to play, we can go for a walk together. Somewhere like Warm Beach…!"

However, because Arceus left first this time, Gold did not ride Togetaro to see it off.

Still, Mr. Gold glanced left and right, then grinned.

"The three of us are watching Arceus leave together! Silver, Crys! After I met you, we went to so many places, met so many people, and fought so many battles…"

"So we're also best partners!"

This time, his two partners said nothing. They simply looked toward the horizon and stood beside Gold, just as they had in the past.

Gold's life had been restored by the light, but on the other side, Giovanni had already reached his limit.

He found a place against a wall and sat down at ease. At that moment, a peaceful smile actually appeared on the Team Rocket boss's face.

"Hmph… You accomplished something great. You've long since surpassed me, your father."

"I never thought this world would survive."

"Father?!"

Silver sharply noticed Giovanni's condition. After pushing Gold into Crystal's blushing arms, he rushed to Giovanni's side.

Though he had once denied the fact that Giovanni was his father during the FireRed and LeafGreen arc, after Green's guidance and the incident in which he was held up above the sea of flames, this world's Silver had long since acknowledged Giovanni's qualification as his father.

Even though the two of them stood on opposing sides, and remained that way even now, their family bond was not false in the slightest.

Giovanni said, "Don't worry about it. Seeing you grow so strong is enough. I would not mind if my life ended here."

"At first, I went to Ilex Forest to search for a medicine that could cure anything. But now, all of a sudden, I think dying like this might not be bad either."

"They've all gone… The sunlight really is warm."

Giovanni leaned against the ruins and looked at the sun, now fully risen in the sky and filling the world with light. He suddenly sighed in satisfaction.

The evil claws that had thrived in darkness would end here.

"After this, you can be the one to destroy Team Rocket…" Giovanni grabbed Silver's hand. "Isn't that what you always wanted to do? Of course, after I die, you can simply make those gathered people leave…"

"After all, it isn't as though I was saying I wanted to…"

Before he could finish, the delighted shouts of the three Team Rocket executives rang out from afar.

"Boss Giovanni! The medicine is here! Celebi's medicine is here!"

Hikaru said, "I told you. Heroes always appear at the very end."

"When you're saving someone, showing up right on cue is what makes it dramatic."

Celebi had helped Giovanni gather the medicinal herbs both to thank him for his help and because it still held expectations for the former leader of this world's Team Rocket.

Under the treatment of the legendary medicine, Giovanni's terminal illness was cured in an instant. Even he stared at his own hands in disbelief, then raised his head and met his son's eyes.

"It seems our Team Rocket will rise again… Silver, would you like to join my team?"

"No!" This time, Silver answered even faster than before. "And I will definitely make you turn over a new leaf, Giovanni!"

"Hmph."

A smile tugged at Giovanni's lips. He swept one final glance over everyone present.

"What an unbelievable journey. I have already experienced the beginning and end of life, and I have also seen my excellent son grow into part of this world's history."

"Come whenever you like. I will gladly face you."

Although that was what he said, in his heart, Giovanni was thinking something else.

Perhaps, to avoid disappointing his son, it was about time for the evil claws he had gathered to do something else.

His own knot had come undone, and he had gained his final peace.

Perhaps watching one's child grow strong was just like this.

"The age of chaos has passed. Next comes a brand-new world."

"Thinking about it that way, didn't Lance once say he wanted to destroy humanity and create a new world? Although his process was wrong, the result was correct."

As Giovanni laughed, Team Rocket surrounded him and escorted him away, while Lance awkwardly scratched his cheek.

A foolish dark history from his youth had been brought up by another villain, and one with a deep connection to him at that. In theory, he had actually already lost that battle on Cerise Island.

The matter here had ended safely, and Lance was preparing to say goodbye and leave. But before departing, he casually glanced at Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and suddenly discovered that their clothes changed for an instant.

White and green, with the shadow of a divine halo!

Lance rubbed his eyes. When he looked again, there was no change.

"What was that just now…?"

Lance instinctively turned to the most knowledgeable person present for confirmation.

That should not have been an illusion, because he had never seen clothes like that before.

Hikaru looked rather surprised.

"Huh? You saw it? The Arceus outfits? They only appeared for an instant, but they definitely showed up. Though that's only natural."

After all, in Pokémon Masters EX, these three really did have outfits related to Arceus.

Ethan and Silver had Arceus outfits, while Lyra had received a set of Sinjoh-style ceremonial clothing long ago.

"Those who received the clothes are the new Celestica people! Anyway, I recognize them on my side."

"And they aren't the only ones who changed."

Hikaru called Gold over, handed him the Celestica Flute, and explained how to use it.

Although this world had Dawn's parallel counterpart, Platinum Berlitz, she had not set off on her journey yet. She was merely the young lady of a wealthy family. She had not yet gained the title of the Knower, nor had she formed a connection with Arceus.

The giant dragons standing on the earth sensed an increase in power. Their move pools seemed to have changed.

Their move pools had expanded!

The second one to sense a change was Victini. Of course, as a Mythical Pokémon, it already possessed infinite energy and a broad range of learnable moves, so an expanded move pool meant little to Victini.

It had merely gained "event distribution moves," meaning it could learn the signature moves of the Tao trio. But Victini itself had better moves to use.

The third one to change was Spiky-eared Pichu.

Compared to the other Pokémon, Spiky-eared Pichu's change was the most intense.

Because it had already fused with the Zap Plate, it was practically equivalent to an incarnation of Arceus.

And so, the first thing it learned was the event move of the Pikachu-colored Pichu, a vital move that could normally only be learned after evolving: Endeavor.

Then an even more astonishing power erupted from Spiky-eared Pichu's body.

Spiky-eared Pichu learned Zippy Zap!

Spiky-eared Pichu learned Pika Papow!

Spiky-eared Pichu learned Splishy Splash!

Spiky-eared Pichu learned Floaty Fall!

"Partner moves?"

Hikaru glanced at the equally bewildered little one.

These four moves came from the special Partner Pikachu. However, Splishy Splash and Floaty Fall both originated from the famous "Surfing Pikachu" and "Flying Pikachu" of past generations, and Alolan Raichu's design had also been recreated from that basis.

So those two were not important. The important ones were the first two.

At the same time, a brand-new trail surfaced in Hikaru's mind. After he met eyes with that unfamiliar Celebi, the trail released an intense radiance, forming two new patterns.

A wondrous pattern has been sensed! Draw it!

Obtained the light trail of Celebi from another world!

Obtained the light trail of Arceus from another world!

These are special trails. In the legends of Oblivia, they seem to be trails that contain the wish that "the bonds between people and Pokémon can continue forever," and therefore cannot be obtained casually.

Two more cards.

Celebi… eight stars, LIGHT attribute, Plant type… 3000 ATK, 3000 DEF… must have the Field Spell "Ilex Forest" on the field to…

Arceus, twelve stars, DIVINE attribute, Creator God type… ATK ???, DEF ???… can only be summoned by tributing the three Egyptian Gods, or by activating the Field Spells "Sinjoh Ruins" and "Spear Pillar"…

Hikaru put away the Time-Space Orb and looked at the Arc Phone.

The Arc Phone reacted and explained the current situation.

In the current world, only Fiore and Almia exist. The Oblivia region does not exist.

Arceus from another world has gone to the space-time of The Jewel of Life, so it can only be encountered in the Dream Battle Tower and cannot be summoned down to the lower world through a trail. However, with Celebi from another world's trail, after returning to the original world, it will be possible to travel to the Temple of the Gods in Oblivia's past world.

Although the Adventures world lacking Oblivia was because the spin-off had not been drawn, stopping only at Pokémon Ranger: The Comic and linking together the Platinum and FireRed and LeafGreen events.

"However, considering Oblivia's special nature, there used to be armor there that could control Pokémon. And with the strange setting that anyone at all could wear it, if that region existed, it would be another heavy blow to this world."

"No Oblivia means no hero of light. No trails means no Golden Armor and no ancient armor… A flawed world has its advantages too, doesn't it?"

Hikaru looked at that Celebi, and Celebi smiled and nodded.

Sometimes, an imperfect world was also fortunate.

Of course, the so-called blessing was not over yet. There was also that white-hatted girl…

Celebi looked toward Leaf. Leaf, who had been talking just a moment ago, seemed to begin speaking in riddles. She stared at Clefable, Venusaur, and Moltres, and those three Pokémon seemed to understand her thoughts instantly, taking action.

As if performing a silent play, Leaf happily clapped her hands.

"…?"

"…!"

"…~"

Being able to command Pokémon in battle without speaking. In Pokémon Masters EX, a side work, it was said that a certain person's bond with Pokémon did not even require language to understand. By erasing one's presence and reaching the level of true mutual understanding, that person's battle ability stood several ranks above all other Trainers.

And now, the white-hatted girl thought this technique was very interesting.

In the past, she and Green had always been the ones interpreting Red's words. People had even asked questions like, "Is this some kind of academic discipline?"

So now she could make Green and Red guess what she was saying instead!

Hikaru said, "Ugh, isn't that Red's technique? No, wait. It should be Great Teacher N's ability, only stronger!"

"Crap. Mt. Silver is going to get another person standing guard!"

New information appeared on the Arc Phone.

New Trainers have been added to the Dream Battle Tower!

Gold, Silver, Crystal, Lance, Giovanni, and Pryce can now be invited into the Dream Battle Tower world!

When they challenge it, they will appear inside the tower as the Morning Star Team and the Space-Time Object Boss Team!

A new tower-guarding Pokémon has been added:

Arceus from another world! Because it longs to understand humans and become friends with you, when it is Normal type, there is a 10% chance it will appear on the first floor. If the challenger is one of the Celestica people, the chance rises to 50%.

"Oh. Does the one from Hisui want to gather all four alpacas together and have a conversation or something…?"

Hikaru thought about it. Perhaps he could also have Celebi tell him the legendary medicine's recipe. However, those were all medicinal herbs gathered from Ilex Forest.

Forget it. He would have to make an effort at the end-of-year fighting tournament anyway. He would work a little first, then if he could not win the championship, he could pull the guarantee afterward.

Either way, the recipe was not going anywhere.

Hikaru exchanged information with Lance, then turned his head.

"Then, Leaf, we already know how to redirect Hyper Beam. We'll exchange Draco Meteor for it and head back!"

At the same time, he waved to the others and spoke solemnly.

"It's about time to say goodbye! However, a certain International Police officer once said, 'Parting is the beginning of reunion.' We will meet again in dreams."

"Be careful of this world's Celestica descendants. Because there is no history of Hisui here, those who should originally have been Celestica people have all lost their connection."

"In the past, Sird of Team Rocket's Three Beasts may have been the descendant of surviving traitors. Her true identity is connected to Team Galactic of the Sinnoh region and Team Flare of the Kalos region."

"The petrification phenomenon, the capture of the Nightmare Pokémon, obtaining Deoxys, lending out the Armor of Eternity and the Sword of Instant… Her true purpose remains a mystery, but you have already fought her. That elusive, eyebrowless, androgynous lady."

"Enemy and ally share the same source. The reason the battle was once so difficult was because of the gap in information."

"She wanted to offer the space Pokémon to Team Galactic's leader at the Spear Pillar in order to fulfill a certain desire to create a perfect universe. But she always rides a flying Starmie, doesn't she? Doesn't that look a lot like a saucer creature?"

"Team Galactic is plotting to detonate the Galactic Bomb, destroy Sinnoh's three great lakes, and at the same time trigger space-time distortions that will attack all of Sinnoh!"

"At Sinnoh's Spear Pillar… when the Lion's Eye shines… no matter what world it is, I am committed to stopping Team Galactic. So, goodbye!"

Before the trio of Gold, Silver, and Crystal could ask any more questions, Hikaru and Leaf were taken back to Ilex Forest by Celebi's power.

Gold said, "Ugh… Why did he suddenly leave such a bombshell behind?"

Silver said, "A criminal plan… Sird of Team Rocket's Three Beasts! The culprit who once petrified us. She's the one person I can never forgive! No wonder even Team Rocket had no detailed information on her. She used Team Rocket. So she was an unknown enemy from the Sinnoh region!"

Crystal said, "We… We need to hurry and tell Professor Oak about this!"

Gold said, "Right! The Sinnoh Day-Care Couple! The old lady and old man from the Day Care aren't running their Day Care in Johto anymore. They're moving to the distant Sinnoh region! They even asked me to help them move before! I worked myself to the bone for that!"

"But isn't the next place that's going to change drastically the Sinnoh region? They said a new world is coming, but our world is still full of danger!"

Lance said, "In that case… I know a powerful Dragon-type Trainer in the Sinnoh region. Her name is Grandma Wilma. I'll introduce you to her."

The four of them were discussing what to do next when the chubby director from the Johto TV station arrived. He knew Gold well, and after previously seeing the Ecruteak Gym blasted away, he had come here to get first-hand news.

"Ah! Whoa! The Alph Ruins, an important cultural property, actually became like this! Though this is a little better than Ecruteak Gym getting half blown away… no, it isn't any better at all!"

"Gold, you really destroy things wherever you go!"

Kanto region, another world. Pallet Town.

Professor Oak received Crystal's call. The petrification of the Pokédex holders, as well as the kidnapping of himself by Team Rocket's Three Beasts, were still vivid in his memory, as if they had happened only yesterday.

"Crystal, the information that you, Gold, Silver, and Lance obtained is extremely valuable."

"However, after reading this information, my heart feels as if it has been cut open. It pains me deeply."

"The report from the Sinjoh Ruins… I do not doubt the prophecy of that Celestica person in the slightest. Since he said this, something terrible will certainly happen."

"The Galactic Bomb's explosion, and the space-time distortions that may attack the entirety of Sinnoh… Who knows how many Pokémon will be sacrificed because of this? How many lives and livelihoods will be threatened?"

"Who knows how many Pokémon will come to resent humans because of it?"

"I once met a girl in the Sinnoh region. She loved Pokémon deeply. She could not live without them. She prayed that conflict would disappear from the world, and that people and Pokémon could thank one another."

"But this world always runs contrary to people's wishes."

"I am also one of the adults who caused this world to become what it is. For that, I feel deeply ashamed."

"Therefore, I want you to go to the Gracidea flower field."

"No matter how dangerous the situation may become, the things worthy of gratitude will remain. I hope you will meet a Trainer named Marley and help her find the Gratitude Pokémon."

Professor Oak sent this information to the three of them. Then he recalled the terrifying events he had once experienced.

Thinking about it, he took out three special chip-like objects.

Team Rocket had once used his technology to create the Black Pokédex. Looking back now, that must also have been the work of that eyebrowless woman named Sird. In the events at the Battle Frontier, she had also appeared in Archie's testimony before his death.

"I will reanalyze the Black Pokédex and perform a reverse upgrade."

"The National Pokédex upgrade program once developed to counter that machine: Dex IV!"

"Technology has constantly been locked in a desperate struggle, like a pitiful marathon run while coughing blood. But the devil's weapon is also the hope of survival!"

To prepare for the terrible situation that might arrive, Professor Oak had continued developing this upgrade program afterward, and he had secretly kept backups in case another theft occurred.

He looked at those upgrade programs, then gazed through the window toward the pure sky.

"If Arceus truly is watching this place…"

"Then the same terrible things may be happening in other worlds as well."

"My insignificant Program Dex IV… If it can carry my wish to even more distant universes…"

"Then this is my repentance and my gratitude."

In the past, researchers had always devoted themselves to things that enraged Professor Oak. For example, the Rayquaza Capture Project, which forcibly controlled Rayquaza. These were even plans launched by the Pokémon Association.

So humans were all the same. There was no difference. That included himself, when he asked Crystal to catch ordinary Pokémon for the sake of obtaining data.

But data should have been something that brought humans and Pokémon closer together and helped them understand one another. Some people had simply used that information to realize their own ideas.

Professor Oak's prayer received a response.

In front of him, accompanied by a faint flash of light, two program chips vanished into thin air.

"Thank you very much!"

A yellow-haired man said, "Excuse me… From your accent, are you from the Sinnoh region?"

A blond woman said, "What a coincidence. Did you come to a remote place like this in Johto for work?"

The yellow-haired man said, "Mm, something like that. I serve as a Frontier Brain in the Johto region. I got so obsessed with Pokémon battles that I left my family behind and came here…"

The blond woman said, "Oh my. I'm more or less the same. I travel from place to place researching mythology."

Northern Johto, near the Sinjoh Ruins.

A young woman with a Gabite was talking with an older man who had the same hairstyle as Minato Namikaze. At that moment, both of them stared in shock at the two streams of light flying across the sky.

"Those look a lot like the two Pokémon from the myths passed down in my hometown!"

"And they're flying toward the Sinnoh region too!"

"I have to tell Grandma first…"

"Ah, Grandma? It's me. Something like that just happened, so please pay attention…"

Cynthia, the young Cynthia from another world, looked uneasy as she watched the enormous meteors fly across the sky.

"I came here because I heard there were ruins connected to Sinnoh… but I didn't find anything."

"However, I felt a huge energy appear nearby."

"That's right." The blond man was Palmer, the second Minato Namikaze, the Tower Tycoon of the Battle Tower. At that moment, he nodded as well. "Just now, I could feel a powerful energy impact appear somewhere!"

"And I definitely saw an unbelievable light break through the sky, illuminating the land like the sun!"

"The Pokémon from our Sinnoh myths… They should be two Dragon-type Pokémon. Speaking of dragons… Sinnoh's Grandma Wilma…"

Beep, beep, beep.

Cynthia's Pokégear rang. She immediately answered the call. "Hello, Grandma?!"

"You said a Dragon Master is coming to visit you as Grandma Wilma?! And it has to do with Sinnoh's past, so you want me to come back immediately?"

"What do you mean, 'learn where we ourselves come from'?"

Inside the Dream Battle Tower world.

The phantom Entei sensed something approaching. It looked toward the Trainers preparing to challenge the tower.

Alder, the Champion of Unova, who had been invited into this dream, was talking with Geeta. No, it should be said that Geeta had taken the initiative to talk to him. She had even mentioned strange things like personnel transfer.

What did she think this place was, a training base for talent? This was the place I built.

Entei shook its head and watched the two Champions enter the tower.

Whew. If two Champions team up, they should clear the first stage easily. Regigigas should not be on duty today.

Then intense light erupted from within, accompanied by a grand and unfamiliar voice.

"Nice to meet you."

"I want to understand humans better. It seems this world is a place connected to all space-times. Oh, your appearance resembles that hero… Are you a descendant of Celestica? If that is so, then battle me with all your strength!"
