Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

A feeling of gratitude emanated from the stone tablet, and the inscription made Hikari's eyes widen slightly.

This name felt somewhat familiar... it must be from the game.

Fleeting, strange fragments flashed through his mind, but quickly vanished, and Hikari suddenly felt a headache. At the same time, Giratina's ghost power took over the source of his spiritual power and stabilized Hikari's mental state!

He never expected the irritable old bro, Giratina, to help stabilize his mind!

【"Your soul is not stable, memories that shouldn't exist have appeared, but don't worry, this should be a normal phenomenon."】

Giratina's whisper echoed in his soul, but Hikari didn't understand what Giratina meant.

What do you mean by things that shouldn't exist are normal?

As expected of the master of the Reverse World, his words are incomprehensible.

【"Speaking of which now,"】 Giratina sensed the confusion in Hikari's soul, its whisper hesitant, but it still told Hikari, not acting like a cryptic dragon.

【"When the past is rewritten, this kind of thing happens. The time node is wrong, but this isn't my area of expertise, so I can't say much."】

The remaining half of the sentence was left unsaid, Giratina felt that if it spoke carelessly about time issues and made a mistake, it would lose face!

That wouldn't do, it was the ruler of the Reverse World, the great shadow on the back of the world. Losing face in front of its soul contact would require so many reasons to make up for it!

It's all Dialga's fault, messing around with time travel. That guy isn't doing this for the first time!

Rewriting the past?

Hikari thought of something, that was what happened in the movie 'Arceus and the Jewel of Life'. When Arceus wanted to destroy the world out of anger, Dialga sent Satoshi and the others back to the past a thousand years ago, rewriting the history of Michina and changing the future.

The white stone tablet in front of him suddenly emitted a faint light, and Hikari stepped back slightly, the surrounding Pokémon and Daigo staring intently at the changes in the stone tablet.

"Yo-noh!"

Dusknoir became excited!

The soul was about to awaken!

His work could finally be completed!

His large hand gripped Hikari's small hand, shaking it up and down vigorously to express his gratitude. Accompanied by a wisp of ghostly fire emerging from the stone tablet, the flame transformed into a blurry little girl.

The soul materialized, but her appearance was somewhat unclear. She wore ancient clothing, the style somewhat similar to Celebi's colors. The girl looked at Hikari, first in astonishment, then smiling happily.

【By writing words on the white stone, I can accurately convey my gratitude to my friend.】

【The person I want to thank the most is Hikari】

At this moment, Hikari gradually recalled!

Yuri, wasn't that the soul sealed in the keystone in 'Legends: Arceus'!

The keystone is the stone that seals Spiritomb. Spiritomb is a Pokémon formed by the gathering of 108 spirits, and it seems that some malicious souls are mixed in. It is an evil object brought about by evil thoughts. It always does evil, but one day its body was bound to the keystone by a magical spell to prevent it from doing evil again.

And throughout the entire Pokémon world, all Spiritomb seem to be sealed by a legendary traveler who can use magical spells! In the anime, that was a wave guiding person with Pikachu.

However, the souls sealed in the keystone are not all evil. Yuri is a normal girl's soul. In the Hisui era, a giant Spiritomb ran out of the giant keystone in the Cloudpeak Ruins. In order to reseal Spiritomb, Yuri went to Jubilife Village to ask the protagonist for help, collecting 108 wisps and subduing Spiritomb again.

But that happened in the Hisui region!

Why would Yuri, one of the 108 souls, appear in Shin-du?

And her clothes are different from those in the game!

"Do you know me? Why do you want to thank me?"

Hikari asked the ghost girl in front of him in disbelief, and Yuri tilted her head, seemingly understanding something.

【So that's how it is... Although I have seen you, the current you doesn't know me yet.】

【But even so, you are still you, I want to thank you... Thank you for giving me a new life.】

【You must be wondering why I am here.】

【Because I am originally from Shin-du.】

In the story's background, Yuri once said that the Spiritomb that bound her had caused disaster in Hisui hundreds of years ago, and was later sealed by the magic of a magical traveler.

But now, she said that she was originally from Shin-du, which means that Yuri is also a Shin-Oh citizen!

"Shin-Oh dispersed, returned to Hisui, and then died..." Hikari realized something.

In the time period from a thousand to seven hundred years ago, the citizens of Shin-du gradually disappeared, so that Johto belonged to Johto, and Hisui belonged to Hisui.

And some of the Shin-Oh citizens who migrated across the sea back to Hisui founded the Diamond Clan or Pearl Clan, and began to believe in Dialga and Palkia, losing their true faith in Arceus.

【...I am waiting here, just wanting to thank you... wanting to see you again...】

Yuri looked at Dusknoir:

【That thing... is it in your hands? Thank you for keeping it for me, now, it's time to return it.】

"Yo-noh?!"

Dusknoir realized something at this time, it reached into the mouth in its stomach and took out a red bead!

"That is?!" Daigo recognized that thing in an instant!

That was a special kind of mineral that was extremely rare in nature, and the reason for its formation was still a mystery. Devon Corporation had also tried to make it artificially, but the results were not ideal!

Daigo: "This is the Life Orb! It is a very precious stone!"

Dusknoir handed the red bead to Hikari, and explained to Regirock that the Scyther before had heard that there was a bead with magical power here, so it ran over to steal it. What he was guarding was this red bead found near this tombstone.

【Precious Material: Life Orb.】

【Description: A bead that contains powerful life force. It is said to be a crystal formed by the souls of humans or Pokémon. Similar crystals occasionally appear in nature. When held, although HP will be slightly reduced with each attack, the power of the move will be increased!】

【Gained Craft: 1】

Hikari felt that there seemed to be incredible life fluctuations in this bead, and Yuri smiled at him.

【I'm leaving, this is the life you left me back then, I'm returning it to you again.】

【Thank you, Hikari.】

Yuri hugged Hikari, waved her hand in Hikari's dazed expression, and Dusknoir pulled her hand, sending out a mission completion wave.

At the same time, Dusknoir also looked at Hikari, making a reminder!

"Yo-noh! Yo... noh!"

Although you are very powerful, there is something I don't know whether to say or not... Forget it, let's say it!

Dusknoir's eyes flashed with a strange red light:

"Yo-noh~"

Although your soul has a close connection with the master of the Reverse World, your spiritual power nature is too similar to the Spirit World, so be careful of the Spirit World's attraction in your daily work!

Although I am a worker in the Spirit World, the Spirit World itself has a certain malice towards the real world. This is the natural opposition between life and death. Some bad Pokémon and souls that escape from the Spirit World will also haunt spirit ability users with abnormal souls, so be careful!

Don't be lost and attracted by the power of the Spirit World, and fall into the Spirit World!

There are a few more things!

Dusknoir took out a Spirit Shroud from its stomach, but this cloth seemed to be wrapping something.

"Yo-noh~"

Dusknoir said that as a thank you, it would give Hikari the stone tablet it had obtained from this cemetery before.

After all, this stone tablet is also a relic of Shin-du. Now that the mission is completed, since Hikari is the person the soul here is waiting for, then he doesn't need to carry this stone tablet anymore.

And the Spirit Shroud is also a thank you gift, but it wants to use these cloths to exchange for Hikari's talismans!

After speaking, he pointed to the Doublade who were dumbfounded on the side!

Dusknoir saw the effect of Hikari's Cleanse Tag! It was thinking, if it could get those talismans, wouldn't its performance take off directly in place?!

So, using some Spirit World materials to exchange for those valuable talismans is a fair trade!

Hikari took the item wrapped in the Spirit Shroud!
