Chapter 1293 Time and space rift

"Hello?"

The call from the cypress tree made Dr. Laben, who was standing at the door, no longer hesitate.

He chuckled slightly awkwardly, "Sorry! My name is Laben, I'm a Pokémon professor... I heard you're from Orei?"

"You know Ole?"

Cypress raised his eyebrows slightly.

Dr. Laben quickly waved his hand in denial, "Oh! No, no, no, I just heard that you have a rare Pokémon from an unfamiliar region, hehe~ I wanted to see it, I'm so sorry."

He scratched his head nervously, completely unlike the skillful and experienced maneuvering he used to when he tricked the protagonist in the game.

Kashiwagi has an excellent sense of smell for the Pokémon Professor, so he naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request. He generously showed off his own Pokémon, much to Raben's delight.

Thanks to this generosity, the two quickly became acquainted.

"You lost all your goods in a sea storm... I really feel sorry for you. A traveling merchant like you could have made a fortune in Xicui!"

Dr. Laben sighed and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Kashiwagi said, "Of course, we'll take a stroll around the Xicui area and find some goods we can bring back."

He had already come up with an excuse, intending to continue as a traveling merchant.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Laben blinked his small eyes and coughed twice, seemingly eager to join the Galactic Team. "Hmm, would you be interested in joining Team Galactic?"

"I?"

“That’s right! Ah, don’t misunderstand. Team Galactic is different from ordinary organizations. We come from all over the world and have gathered together just to explore the Emerald Green.”

Dr. Laben explained with a smile, "Everyone has their own role, protecting this outpost leading to the Verdant Lands. I'm a member of the investigation team, responsible for investigating Pokémon!"

He spoke at length about his dream of creating an illustrated guide to Xicui, and said that it would be difficult to traverse the entire Xicui region on his own.

Finally, Dr. Laben looked expectant and said, "If you're interested, please join the investigation team! The compensation is negotiable! I promise you won't be taken advantage of!"

Kashiwagi: "I'll think about it."

Dr. Laben was slightly disappointed at not getting an answer on the spot, and not daring to disturb him any further, he took his leave.

But it's not hard to tell from his words that there aren't many members in the investigation team.

It's like the Survey Corps in Attack on Titan, who need to go into the wild first and get up close and personal with all sorts of Pokémon. But what ordinary person has that kind of ability?

Therefore, the investigation team still consists of only a few people, including the team leader Xingyue and Dr. Laben.

That makes sense; although Pokémon has lost its reputation as monsters in this era, it is still feared by people.

Why the name change?

It was naturally influenced by the original Poké Ball.

This item is made from cones and jade. It is simple and convenient to make, and can be made anywhere as long as you carry the tools with you.

As a result of this invention, monsters became portable Pokémon.

Bai Mu wanted to bring a few back to the modern world to play.

"Join us, Kashiwagi! That way we can also ask them for information about the stone slab."

Porygon II encourages trainers to join Team Galactic's investigation team.

He certainly wanted to join, but he wasn't ready to agree immediately, otherwise he would seem too cheap.

Didn't you see how actively the protagonist challenged the "King" and the "Queen" in the story, resolving various incidents, only to be considered the culprit behind everything?

At the very least, the Galactic Team needs to make it clear that they invited me to join, rather than me asking to join.

With this thought in mind, Bai Mu decided to go out and wander around Zhuqing Village.

There are two main roads in Zhuqing Village: Huayuan Road and Shuimai Road. The latter connects to Binhaimen, and there are a large number of houses on both sides of the road.

Without a doubt, this is the origin of the names of many towns in Sinnoh that have been used in later generations.

He strolled along the commercial street, looking around and seeing only familiar faces. "What's this? Even important people have their own lineages?" he thought.

"So the ancestors of the Gym Leaders and pioneers of the Sinnoh region came from other regions."

Polygon II frantically took photos, comparing them to celebrities from later generations. As it passed by a certain spot, it exclaimed softly, "Look at that one! Doesn't he look like a fully charged one?"

Kashiwagi looked over and saw a middle-aged man with green hair and a turban who ran a small restaurant called Yumanting.

"Hmm... a little bit."

Judging from their hair color and hairstyle, they do have some similarities.

Kashiwagi, who had played the game, knew that the opponent was most likely a fully charged ancestor, since even the types of Pokémon were almost the same as his.

He continued wandering around, and with his brisk pace, he soon covered the entire Zhuqing Village.

According to information gathered by Polygon II, the population of Zhuqing Village should not exceed 10,000, and the village has not expanded to other places to establish a second village.

However, it seems that there are two relatively primitive tribes on the Sinnoh land, one called Kongo Village and the other called Pearl Village.

Both worship different divine beings, believing that the divine being created the verdant land.

"The Great One of Sinnoh? Not Arceus?"

Porygon II found it quite strange, especially upon seeing the so-called Sinnoh Grandmaster image, "Isn't that Dialga and Palkia!"

They had just met these two unfortunate brothers, so naturally they wouldn't forget them.

Kashiwagi said, "Perhaps it's some kind of misunderstanding—"

Boom! !

A sudden clap of thunder cut him off abruptly; it came from the horizon.

Kashiwagi involuntarily turned around and was shocked to see dark clouds rolling in the distant sky, with terrifying thunder brewing from them, as if it were about to descend.

Zhuqing Village was thrown into chaos. People stared in terror at the towering mountain that reached into the clouds, and the thunderclouds surging above it, completely unaware of what was happening.

At the Galaxy Team headquarters, members kept running out, including the team leader, Ma Jiamu.

"That thing is—"

Spacetime rift.

This is caused by the instability of the reversed world.

Bai Mu never expected that he would arrive at Xicui a little ahead of time.

Polygon II couldn't help but whisper, "We didn't bring you here to solve this, did we?"

"—Very likely."

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, the spacetime rift might be a disaster for those who are unaware of it, but for someone like him who knows about it, it might not be as difficult as collecting the stone tablets.

Isn't it just that a fanatical alpaca fan was so eager to see his idol that he teamed up with his rebellious son to drive one of the alpaca's brothers crazy, trying to force the other to come forward in order to find the idol's home?

Ultimately, it all comes down to human issues.

All that's needed is to get rid of the person.

As for where Wang Luo is, Kashiwagi believes he will see him soon; he's a rather restless fellow.

Unlike his calm demeanor, the members of Team Galaxy were all very serious.

No one knew what had happened, and they intended to send someone to Tianguan Mountain to investigate.

As members of the investigation team, Dr. Laben and Xingyue were naturally the first to be questioned.

When he saw Kashiwagi in the crowd, he immediately approached, "Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi! What's your decision?"

"It's possible, but my price won't be low—ordinary items won't catch my eye; it has to be some rare and precious treasures."

Kashiwagi stated his conditions in front of the other members of Team Galactic.

Ma Jiamu was indeed drawn to their conversation. After learning that Laben wanted Baimu to join the investigation team, he thought for a moment and said, "If you're willing, the compensation is entirely negotiable."

The sudden change threw the entire Zhuqing Village into chaos. Ma Jiamu, who was not yet ill, proved to be a competent leader and decided to utilize all available resources.

Upon hearing this, Kashiwagi smiled and extended his hand to him, "So, it's a pleasure to work with you?"

"Pleasant to work with."

Ma Jiamu paused for a moment before reaching out to shake hands with him.

Seeing this, the other members of Team Galaxy couldn't help but gossip among themselves. After all, Kashiwagi's background was unknown, and it was only his first day in Zhuqing Village. Would it be too hasty to let him join the investigation team so rashly?

However, due to the urgency of the situation, Ma Jiamu began to arrange for personnel to go to Tianguan Mountain to investigate.

"Dr. Laben and I are enough."

Kashiwagi volunteered, saying, "Too many people would actually hinder our journey."

Xingyue, the head of the investigation team, frowned. "Two people? How are you planning to get there?"

"Of course, it's by using the power of Pokémon."

He casually opened the Poké Ball.

Bang!

In an instant, a giant Steelix appeared in front of the Team Galactic headquarters, causing everyone to hold their breath.

"The leader Pokémon!"

Someone exclaimed.

In the Greenland region, some Pokémon that are different in size from their own species are called bosses, and the giant Steelix fits the bill perfectly.

Ma Jiamu and Xingyue stared wide-eyed at the calm-faced Bai Mu, completely surprised that this man actually had the ability to tame the leader's Pokémon!

Dr. Laben exclaimed excitedly, "The boss, Steelix! This is the first time I've ever seen one! I must write this down immediately!"

He pulled out a picture book and pen from somewhere and started drawing Steelix in a flash.

Kashiwagi stopped him, saying, "You should go change your clothes first."

"what?"

“We’re leaving right away. I see that Tianguan Mountain is covered in snow, it must be very cold, you’d better wear more clothes.”

"Ooh!"

Dr. Laben obediently went to get dressed.

Ma Jiamu opened his mouth, but in the end he only uttered one sentence: "I wish you a triumphant return!"

Xingyue, the group leader, felt rather awkward, especially when facing Bai Mu, a new group member, and really didn't know what to say.

Kashiwagi had no ill feelings towards him and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

During the conversation, he learned that, just like in the game, the Galaxy Team had internal evaluations, and to go from one star to the final starry sky, they needed to complete many tasks and tests.

Originally, Kashiwagi would have needed to take an exam to join the team, but there wasn't enough time.

"As long as you return safely, I'll consider you to have passed the test," Xingyue said gently.

Bai Mu nodded and said, "I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Before long, under Ma Jiamu's arrangement, the members of the Galactic Team went to various places to appease the residents. Dr. Laben returned dressed like a teddy bear, waving his right hand happily.

"I'm ready!"

"Then let's go."

Kashiwagi rode on the back of Hydreigon and signaled Steelix to ride Dr. Raben, and together they flew towards Mt. Coronet.

The villagers of Zhuqing Village looked up in awe.

"Chief, can he really be trusted? Entrusting such an important matter to someone of unknown origin!"

Someone asked Ma Jiamu.

Ma Jiamu said, "Trust doesn't come from nowhere. Although this person appears somewhat aloof, it's not hard to tell from his words, actions, and clothing that he has an extraordinary background."

Although Kashiwagi didn't pay much attention, the lava suit he was wearing was far too avant-garde for this era in terms of both style and fabric.

Even in the modern Pokémon world, clothing is an important criterion for judging a person.

However, that's all there is to it.

After the crowd dispersed, Ma Jiamu still sought out other people to conduct an investigation at Tianguan Mountain.

The development of Xicui is extremely important, and it is impossible to give up on it for some trivial matters.

This is a new region that is brewing treasures!

-

high altitude.

A giant steel snake, supported by electromagnetic levitation, moves forward by wagging its tail.

Dr. Laben curled up into a ball, trying to communicate with the cypress tree in front of him, but instead only swallowed a mouthful of wind.

To his surprise, the other party seemed utterly unafraid of this strange phenomenon, not only daring to go there but even taking him along.

It should be noted that in the past, when the Galaxy Team conducted investigations, the entire investigation team was mobilized, and they even had to borrow personnel from the guard team.

What kind of place is Orei that can cultivate such a unique species as cypress?

Dr. Laben was incredibly curious.

Although the mode of transportation was an airship, the journey still took a long time.

Before the two had gotten very close to Tianguan Mountain, the sun began to set.

As dusk fell, the dark clouds flashing with thunder on the summit of Tianguan Mountain sent chills down their spines, and the two landed in a desolate wilderness.

"here it is?"

Dr. Laben was clearly visiting this place for the first time, and he looked around in amazement, finding the surrounding environment quite peculiar.

Kashiwa took a deep breath.

He made a special trip here just to see one person—

I think.

This place is called the Ancient Hermitage, which corresponds to the future God and Town, and may also be the God and Town that has already disappeared in the past.

This is because the true people of the Divine Realm once lived in this place.

But surprisingly, no relics were left behind?

Kashiwagi's gaze fell on the only house in the entire open space. Judging from the faint candlelight shining from it, there were clearly people inside.

Dr. Laben asked in a low voice, "Is anyone living here? Is it the Kongo Team or the Pearl Team?"

These two organizations arrived in Xicui long before the Galaxy Team, and claimed to be descendants of the people of Shenhe. They had previously interacted with Zhuqing Village.

"I don't know."

Bai Mu shook his head and stepped forward to knock lightly on the door.

Knock knock~

"Please come in."

A gentle female voice came from inside, "The door isn't locked."

Bai Mu took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and saw an elegant woman sitting by the fireplace, sipping tea.

She wore an oddly styled black dress and did not remove her hat even when indoors. The few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes showed that she was not young.

More importantly, the other person's appearance is quite similar to Zhu Lan's, as if they were her ancestors.

"Hello, visitor from afar, I am Wusi."

She smiled slightly and said, "I never expected to meet someone like you in person."

Ok?

Laben was a little confused by her words, wondering what she meant by "someone like you".

He glanced at the cypress tree.

Kashiwagi's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "You know me?"

"That's all. My duty is simply to pass on the legends of my ancestors. I have no ability to manage anything else."

Wu Si smiled and said, "We all have our own responsibilities, don't we?"

I think.

The most mysterious NPC in Xi Cui is believed by some to be a long-lived member of the Divine Clan, similar to Carlos's AZ; others believe she is the human form of Arceus.

Kashiwagi wasn't sure which one was true, but he knew that even if it was the latter, the other party most likely wouldn't admit it.

He said, "Can we rest here for the night?"

"Of course, feel free to do so."

I smiled as I drank my tea.
