Starting with the Different Colored Gas Bomb, he became the Poison Master.

Chapter 571 Desire is a Good Thing

Looking at the eighteen mottled stone statues in front of me, and the triangular Three Illusion Altar.

This place looks magnificent.

Yet it was filled with a somber and sorrowful atmosphere.

In short, it made me feel very uncomfortable...

What should I do next?

How do I wake up?!

Rebecca tried to speed up time in her dream, but nothing happened.

As expected, these methods all failed.

We can only take it one step at a time...

After leaving the stone chamber.

Outside, the snow was falling heavily, and the cold was biting!

The capital city.

This is the legendary unknown space-time between Sinnoh and Kanto.

Nobody knows how to get in here.

Even she was brought here directly after solving the mystery of the Aluf Ruins.

Ok?

Rebecca saw a wooden house not far away.

It shouldn't have been there before, right?

She subconsciously turned around and looked behind her.

The light membrane that previously led to the Three Illusions Stage has completely disappeared.

Even the mountainside has vanished, leaving only an empty snowfield and a massive fissure in the ground!

She glanced down.

It was pitch black, and I had no idea how deep it was. If I fell in, I would be done for!

"Roar!!!"

As Rebecca gazed into the abyss.

In the abyss, a pair of red dragon eyes were also staring at her!

The voice of Giratina?!

Now we have no other choice but to go to that little house.

"Bang! Bang!!"

She knocked on the heavy wooden door, but there was no response.

"Bang!!"

Tap it harder.

The wooden door was so cold it felt sticky to the touch.

In the deep snow, her sneakers offered no protection against the cold, and she felt her body temperature dropping.

I feel terrible, I need to go inside and take shelter.

In the former Johto region.

It should be summer now.

God knows, I'd suddenly end up in such a cold place!

If they don't open the door...

She didn't mind releasing the elves and blasting the wooden door open!

"Squeak!"

The door suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door was someone she never expected.

The newcomer was wearing an overcoat, had blond hair, and was tall.

Bamboo orchid?!

How did she end up here?

"Rebecca?!"

"How did you end up in the capital?"

Both sides were somewhat surprised by the other's sudden appearance.

"Then how did you end up here?"

Zhu Lan took a deep breath.

"Come inside and talk, don't get cold outside."

He welcomed Rebecca into the house, and the two looked at each other.

Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?

"..."

Faced with Zhu Lan's question, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, so much has happened.

First, there's the real-world cyber city.

Ye Kai slaughtered all living beings in the parallel world.

Then he fought a final battle against Giratina and the three legendary mushrooms!

At the most crucial moment of the battle of souls, they returned to the world of memories.

After leaving the Three Illusions Stage, I met Zhu Lan again in this small house.

Wait, this bamboo orchid looks more and more like Wusi!

Ye Kai would never believe that the two had no relationship.

Could that woman be the ancestor of the bamboo orchid?

"Tell me first, how did you get here?"

"Hmm... do you know something called a 'treasure'?"

"what is that?"

Treasure Trove?

Ye Kai felt he had heard it before, but couldn't quite place it.

"In ancient Shin'on, also known as the era of the Washing Green."

"Back then, people could still see the king. It is said that when the king went out of control and went berserk, the treasure could be used to calm him down."

"I stumbled upon one of the 'Volcano Treasures' while randomly archaeological digs at ruins, deciphering the inscriptions left by unknown totems..."

Zhenbao were food and offerings specifically made for the "King".

Zhu Lan paused suddenly as she spoke.

"and then?"

"Then... I felt myself being engulfed by countless unknown totems, and when I woke up, I was trapped here."

Zhu Lan lay on the bed with her back to Rebecca.

She could even smell the citrus shampoo scent on his blond hair.

Just then, Zhu Lan rolled over and faced Rebecca.

"how about you?"

This unexpected turn of events.

It was hard for Rebecca to look away from those luxurious headlights.

It's freezing cold outside now.

The cabin wasn't exactly warm, but it was better than outside.

As long as two people huddle together, they can keep warm with their body heat.

It should be better now, otherwise they might freeze to death.

They still have food for now, and if they eat it sparingly, it should last them for a month or so.

Rebecca will solve an ancient puzzle at the ruins of Aluf.

Then, selectively, he revealed the details of being accidentally teleported.

of course.

She would never reveal the secret of inserting 18 stone slabs!

"Is that so... You didn't see anything else? Like something that represents Arceus?"

"Arzetus?"

"Is that the name of some kind of spirit?"

Rebecca opened her big, innocent eyes and began to play dumb.

Then I hugged Zhulan and gave her a face wash.

"You do not know?"

"There are so many kinds of Pokémon in the world, I can't possibly know them all, I'm not Professor Oak."

Faced with her statement, Zhu Lan was speechless for a moment.

"Then you should know about Grandmaster Sinnoh, right?"

"know."

Its real name is Arceus.

Although Zhu Lan was somewhat suspicious, she still believed Rebecca's explanation.

After all, it's normal for ordinary people not to know the real name of the Grandmaster Sinnoh.

However, this nine-time champion girl in front of us is really not an ordinary person.

Zhu Lan suddenly realized something... Could it be that she was the chosen one?!

……

……

One night passed.

Although falling asleep in the world of memories is equivalent to dreaming and sleeping within a dream.

In Ye Kai's opinion, this was utterly absurd.

But he did lose consciousness for a short time.

"Well!"

When Rebecca woke up again.

What a small house, what bamboo orchids, and what a sky full of snow.

These things vanished like illusions!

The bright flashlight shone on her face, which was somewhat dazzling.

It took Rebecca a while to adjust to the bright light after being in the dark.

She was woken up by the night patrol security guards at the Aluf ruins.

"You scared me to death, little girl, you're finally awake!"

"This is where?"

"The Ruins of Aluf, in the middle of the night, suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the ruins area. Was it you who did it...?"

"Whoosh!!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Rebecca decisively teleported away.

She unleashed a Dragonite from a thousand meters in the air!

"Ughhh!!"

Let's go to the Quartz Plateau!

She needed to find out whether that bamboo orchid was real or fake.

Proving this is easy; just one phone call will tell you!

"Beep...beep..."

Ok?

As Rebecca challenges herself in various regions, she collects the contact information of handsome men and beautiful women along the way.

Not to mention plants like bamboo orchids.

It's already on her must-eat list!

Can't get through?!

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

She then called the Sinnoh League council.

"Hello? It's me, Rebecca..."

Although the other party said they would give her an answer within half an hour.

But the coded message didn't arrive until Rebecca reached the Quartz Union.

Zhu Lan has really disappeared!!

Could that bamboo orchid be real?!

Forget it, who cares if it's true or not!

Ye Kai's primary goal now is to awaken from the world of memories, to find Zhu Lan.

You should give him ten bamboo orchids.

Compared to waking up.

He would choose to return to the real world without hesitation!

What trials must be overcome to wake up?

She looked at the massive Alliance building before her.

The once solemn and dignified Quartz League has now completely changed its style.

At night, it even looks a bit sinister...

This is practically the Rockets' luxurious official headquarters.

Except for the absence of the letter "R".

"Lady Rebecca, you're finally back!!"

"We have been waiting for your arrival for a long time."

[oh?]

It's so late, and there's still someone dedicated to handling this?!

Little did they know that after the Rockets made sweeping changes to the league's system, this place was open 24 hours a day.

Since the Challenge League has become a business, it naturally operates on a 24/7 shift system with rotating days off.

In comparison, the original alliance was far too lazy...

The first to appear were a male and female duo.

The purple-haired boy wore a ball mask and a tuxedo.

Another one is a mature woman with silver hair and big waves.

Rebecca was quite familiar with these two people.

They are two of the four Heavenly Kings of the City Alliance.

Pear Blossom specializing in evil attributes!

A tree with superpowers!

Pear flower

[Why are you waiting for me here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?]

[You may not know this, but the league has been restructured, and now even the top stars have to take turns rotating.]

[Haha, you guys are really dedicated! Thanks for your hard work.]

Chairman Sakaki has invited you to the Shirogane Mt. Base for a chat. Please do not disappoint him...

As a superhuman, Ichiki's superpowers are equally extraordinary.

Pear Blossom, on the other hand, wore a confident smile.

She listened without saying a word.

The two were not dressed in their usual attire, but rather in bespoke black suits.

Clearly, they are already senior executives of the Rockets!

It seems Sakaki is acting very quickly.

Have they already recruited even the Heavenly Kings to their ranks and made them their dogs?

[I'm rather curious, what does Mr. Watari think of this?]

[Crossing? Heh...]

"Ha ha……"

The pear blossoms and the tree seemed to have heard something funny.

[You don't need to worry, Investigator Wataru is too preoccupied to keep an eye on Team Rocket's operations; he's been completely sidelined.]

Rebecca knew that Sakaki's next move was to get rid of her.

Going to Baiyin Mountain now is tantamount to walking into a trap!
