Not a trainer this time

There are big differences between the ancient and modern times in the Pokémon world in some aspects.

For example, people here have not yet completely regarded Pokémon as friends, family, and partners.

Although some people live with some gentle Pokémon, it is more of a taming relationship.

That is, taming Pokémon and letting them help transport goods, work, make fire, weave cloth, etc.

And the name of Pokémon here also stays in the distant past.

They call Pokémon "magic beasts".

As for how Naoki knew...

Because the eyes of those residents looking at Gulerton were full of fear, and they were still whispering there.

"It's a magic beast!"

"It looks so scary..."

"Is that human a magic beast master?"

"Magic beast master?" Qishu heard this name keenly, and she asked with interest: "Is that what the people in this place call Pokémon trainers?"

"It should be like this." Naoki replied.

At this time, they were like boats sailing on the water. The crowds around them were like the river. When they saw them, they immediately began to retreat to both sides, leaving a path in the middle.

"In this era, humans still call Pokémon "monsters." Naoki said.

In fact, it is not until modern times that humans train Pokémon and fight together.

This phenomenon has always existed for a long time in the past.

These people are also called monster masters and wave guides. They often travel around the world with Pokémon. When they meet humans in need of help, they will also help them with Pokémon.

"Monsters... It doesn't sound like Pokémon at all." Qishu muttered in a low voice.

"Ah, gah." Gulden completely agreed.

Naoki: "..."

Seeing the appearance of one person and one Pokémon, he twitched his mouth and thought that Gulden was not as cute as he looked. There was still a big gap between different Pokémon.

For some Pokémon, it was completely fine to call them "monsters".

For example, the three-headed dragon, the evil food king, and the infinite.

But in the eyes of Qishu, who has received modern education since childhood, all the Pokémon in the world are partners who can live with humans.

After a simple walk, the two found a restaurant to eat.

When the waiter in the restaurant saw that it was the master of the magic beast, his attitude immediately became very respectful, which made Naoki a little uncomfortable.

He touched his pocket and took out a golden bead that Flutter Hair picked up from the wild in the morning, and asked the waiter if he could use this thing to exchange for a meal.

The waiter invited the owner of the restaurant.

The boss was a fat man with a round figure. When he saw Naoki, he immediately stepped forward and said:

"Master Magician, as long as you are willing to help our store, we can prepare a sumptuous dinner for you for free!"

Naoki raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

The boss smiled bitterly and said: "It's like this. Not long ago, a terrible magician broke into the garbage incineration room of our store. It occupied that place and didn't let people get close. If you get close, you will be attacked by it. As a result, many leftovers in the store can't be processed in time..."

"Take me to see." Naoki immediately became interested.

Led by the boss, they soon came to the alley behind the restaurant. At the end of the alley, there was a brick house with a strong stench coming out of it.

"That's the place." The boss pointed there and said.

Naoki covered his mouth and nose, stepped forward and saw a Pokémon that looked like a garbage dump in the garbage dump.

Is that... Dust Mountain?

Seeing someone coming, the dust mountain thought they were coming to compete with it for food, and quickly released a purple smoke from its body.

The smoke quickly spread in this dark and damp alley.

Menghuan and Baby Bear immediately covered their mouths and noses with disgust.

The boss said in horror: "Be careful, the smoke is poisonous!"

"Menghuan, stop it!" Naoki said.

"Miu!"

A blue light flashed in Menghuan's eyes, and a huge superpower burst out from its body, wrapping the purple smoke and gathering inside.

Then, the body of the dust mountain was controlled by telekinesis to fly out of the garbage dump, and it immediately became panicked.

"Are there any leftovers and other garbage?" Naoki asked back.

The boss was stunned for a moment, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

"Go get it." Naoki said.

Although the boss was puzzled, he hurriedly did it.

The Warcraft Master has a very high status among ordinary people like them.

After the boss left, Qishu looked at Zhishu's actions and guessed his plan at once.

"You want to..."

Zhishu nodded: "Pokémon like Dust Mountain will not attack people at will. It is very likely that it regards the boss and others as enemies who are competing with it for food, so it has been guarding here and not letting others get close."

For Dust Mountain, the garbage dump is its own five-star restaurant.

Zhishu walked forward and tried to communicate with Dust Mountain with the power of Changpan.

"Dust Mountain, please calm down. We have no ill intentions and will not compete with you for these delicacies."

Sensing the warm power flowing into the body, this Dust Mountain really calmed down.

It lowered its head and looked over in confusion.

Naoki signaled Menghuan to put it down, and at this moment, the boss ran over with a waiter.

The waiter pushed a wooden cart with various kitchen waste piled in the bucket on it.

"Pour these garbage into the garbage dump." Naoki said.

"Ah?" The boss and the waiter were stunned.

"Don't worry, it won't attack you." Naoki said.

The two looked at the monster that seemed to have calmed down, and then they mustered up their courage and tremblingly poured the garbage in.

Seeing the fresh garbage, Dust Mountain's eyes bloomed brightly.

"Eat it, these are all yours, no one will snatch them from you." Naoki said.

Dust Mountain jumped into the garbage dump and then began to feast on it.

The boss and the other two were stunned by this scene.

"It's all right now. This treasure... This monster specializes in eating garbage. The reason why it attacks you is because it regards you as an enemy who is trying to steal its garbage."

After a pause, Naoki said, "It has understood this matter. From now on, you can send all the garbage here. It is a monster that specializes in eating garbage."

The boss and the other two were stunned. The brave waiter tried to step forward and found that the monster did not attack him again.

"Awesome!" The waiter was inexplicably excited: "In this way, can we no longer burn garbage in the future?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Naoki nodded.

Hearing this, the boss finally felt relieved. He looked over with gratitude and said:

"Thank you very much, Master Monster Envoy. I have already given the order. The kitchen is preparing dinner for you. Please wait a moment."

Naoki grinned: "Thank you very much!"

When the matter was over, the restaurant gained a professional garbage disposal worker, and they got a bunch of sumptuous dinners.

In the restaurant, Gulden's mouth was full of oil, and Mew and Baby Bear were also very happy.

Naoki and Qishu looked at the Pokémon in front of them with a smile, and Qishu couldn't help saying:

"It feels like the status of trainers in this place is very different!"

Naoki nodded and said, "After all, most people in this place are ordinary people, and few people would think of taming Pokémon and commanding them to fight. In everyone's eyes, Pokémon is probably a very scary creature, right?"

And the "Beast Master" who can control Pokémon will naturally be very powerful in the eyes of humans in this era.

At this time, the two guests at the table next to them suddenly talked about something that Naoki was more concerned about.

"Hey, have you heard? The armies of the two princes had a fierce battle on the plains of Pompeii not long ago!"

"What was the result? Who won?"

"I don't know. I heard that the losses were very heavy. The plains of Pompeii were full of blood and corpses everywhere!"

"What about the two princes? Wait! They shouldn't attack the royal city, right?"

"I don't know. They haven't sent any news yet. Attacking the royal city... shouldn't be possible? I heard that the two princes were afraid of scaring the old king, and they deliberately avoided the royal city. They wanted a fair fight, and the winner would inherit the position of king."

"Alas, now it seems that I don't know. The two princes are crazy... I don't know when they will attack the royal city."

War? Naoki was slightly stunned. Has the war between the two princes chosen by Reciram and Zekrom begun?

Reality and ideal...

If nothing unexpected happens, history will probably repeat itself.

The two princes were both injured. Reciram and Zekrom consumed a lot of vitality and turned into stone again. The dragon vein energy was chaotic, the earth was destroyed, and the entire country of the people of the earth would be destroyed in it.

Until the old king and Victini once again manipulated the Sword of the Earth to suppress the dragon vein.

This was destined to happen.

"What's wrong?" Qishu noticed Naoki's expression, with some worry on his face.

"It's okay, are you full? Let's go back to the castle!"

"Okay, let's go back!" Qishu was full, she helped Gulton wipe the oil off his mouth, and then stood up.

The two said goodbye to the restaurant owner and returned to the castle together.

The castle was still so quiet, with only the old king and several old women who took care of the old king's daily life.

At night, when Naoki was sitting on the bed helping Gulton sharpen his claws and combing the hair of Dream and Baby Bear, there was a knock on the door.

He was a little surprised, went forward to open the door, and saw Victini appear outside the door.

"Victini?"

Dream and Baby Bear also flew forward.

Victini looked at the few people, feeling a little depressed.

"Nini..."

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see the person you want to see again?" Naoki asked in confusion.

"Nini!" Victini shook his head vigorously.

Of course not! It's just... just a little sad, because the old king now has its past self by his side, and they haven't experienced that thing yet.

Through the power of Changpan, Naoki quickly understood what Victini meant.

Well, this is a problem...

With the future Victini returning to the past, there will be two Victinis in this time and space at the same time.

And the past Victini and the old king have not experienced that thing personally... So, for Victini, the current old king is not its old king.

Time paradox, parallel universe... it's very complicated just to think about it.

"Is it..."

"Miu..."

Baby Bear and Dream looked at Victini who was in a low mood, and they felt sad for Victini.

Baby Bear asked: "Is it?" (What are your plans next?)

Hearing this, Victini raised his head, his eyes slowly swept over the people in front of him, and then seemed to have made a great decision.

"Nini!"

It had just told its past self to accompany the old king well. Now, it wanted to stop all this and stop the two princes from destroying the dragon vein.

In this way, the old king can be protected!

Hearing this, Naoki couldn't help but stand there.

Changing the past... means that the future will be corrected accordingly.

He had experienced this once before. In the Arceus incident, Xiaozhi and his group who went back to the past changed the past, causing the future to be corrected.

But the question is, if the past is changed, what about Victini in the future?

"If you do that, the future will also be affected. You who exist in the previous timeline are likely to be affected by the butterfly effect and disappear." Naoki frowned.

Hearing that this result would occur, Dream and Baby Bear also became terrified.

Gulton's expression on the side also became particularly solemn.

"Ah, gah..."

Naoki didn't know much about time, but thinking of the grandfather paradox and time paradox that Dr. Olin had told him in the past, Victini might...

However, Victini's attitude was very firm.

"Nini... Nini!"

It was very happy to see the old king again, and that was enough. Next, it didn't want to see the old king lose his life because of that incident, so it wanted to stop it from happening!

Victini looked at Naoki, Baby Bear and Dream in front of him almost pleadingly: "Nini..."

For a while, everyone was silent.

Dream and Baby Bear were a little at a loss, and finally they all turned their eyes to Naoki.

"Have you really thought about it?" Naoki asked.

"Nini!" Victini nodded seriously.

Naoki sighed and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Since this is Victini's wish, let's help it fulfill it!

Dream and Baby Bear were so sad that they were about to cry.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Naoki thought about it carefully, and then comforted them:

"Don't be so nervous, the future may not be certain. In addition to that result, there is another possibility, that is, Victini will not disappear, and there will be an extra memory of the past in its mind."

Just like Arceus at the beginning, after Xiaozhi changed the past history, He suddenly remembered Xiaozhi.

"Nini..." Victini smiled, as if to comfort his two good friends, Mew and Baby Bear, in this way: "Nini!"

Then, it looked at Naoki again: "Nini~!"

"You're welcome." Naoki smiled and touched Victini's little head: "Take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow, we will go together to stop the fight between the two princes."

"Nini!" Victini nodded vigorously and looked at Naoki in front of him with gratitude.

The enemies are Reshiram and Zekrom, and Naoki is a little worried about fighting two legendary Pokémon at the same time.

Therefore, after Qishu and several Pokémon fell asleep, Naoki quietly brought Gulden to the terrace of the castle.

"Are you confident?" Naoki asked.

Gulden nodded seriously: "Agas!"

It is now a very powerful Pokémon, and it will definitely protect Naoki!

Long, long ago, when Gulden was still a motor lizard, it had always dreamed of being like Gulden, so it had been chasing Gulden.

Until now, it has finally become Gulden and has the power to protect Naoki.

Even if everyone is not here now and it is the only Pokémon, it can definitely protect Naoki!

Gulden is very confident.

"Very good, no matter what Black Dragon or White Dragon it is, just fight it!"

Plus Victini is here, even if Zekrom and Lashiram join forces, they still have the power to fight.

After all, Victini is a Pokémon that will bring victory. It is said that the trainer with Victini will win any battle.

Just because it can create unlimited energy in its body, and Victini can distribute energy to things it touches.

"Ah, gah!"

*

The next morning, Naoki asked Qishu, Baby Bear and Dream to stay in the castle, and he took Gulton and Victini to find the old king and asked him to stop the two princes.

The old king on the throne was slightly stunned. He looked at the man below with old and turbid eyes and said:

"They have been chosen by the two dragons. The two dragons have unparalleled wisdom and power. Even Victini is not their opponent at all."

Even so, do you still want to go?

The old king did not ask this question, but his eyes revealed this meaning.

Naoki nodded and looked at Victini beside him:

"If they are allowed to continue, the energy of the dragon veins will be chaotic, the earth will be destroyed, and the entire country of the people of the earth will be destroyed."

Hearing this, the old king suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Will the people of the earth be exterminated?"

"I don't know, I only know that in this war, the people of the earth suffered heavy casualties, this land will become barren, and the remaining people of the earth will be scattered all over the world."

Hearing this, the old king's wrinkled hands couldn't stop shaking.

What's the difference between this ending and the destruction of the country?

But he was too old and no longer had the strength to stop his two grown-up sons who had their own opinions.

The old king was silent, and the huge throne hall was extremely quiet.

After a long time, a sad sigh came from the throne, and the old king opened his eyes and looked at Victini beside Naoki.

"If the war is stopped, Victini will not be so lonely in the future, right?"

"Nini..." Victini murmured.

The old king looked at Naoki: "Victini has great power in its body. It will share the power with your monster. I'll leave it to you."

"Nini!" Victini nodded seriously. It must save the old king!

"Where are the two princes?" Naoki asked.

"Their army is gathered in the Pompeii Plain east of the castle. You can see them there." The old king paused and looked at Victini beside Naoki.

He called Victini, stretched out his hand, touched its head, and said to it: "Victini, I asked someone to prepare cookies for you. Before starting the battle, go and fill your stomach first!"

"Nini~!"

The old king looked at Victini beside him again: "I'll leave it to you to go with it."

"Nini!"

The two Victini left obediently.

Suddenly, only Naoki, Gulden and the old king were left in the hall.

Under Naoki's gaze, the old king slowly spoke:

"Victini has a very long life. I don't have much time left. After I die, Victini will probably live alone for another thousand years."

"Traveler from the future! I, an old man, want to ask you for one thing."

"You say." Naoki said.

"In the future, I hope you can find Victini and take care of it for me. In this way, Victini should not be lonely, right?"

*

The sky is bright and the sun is shining.

Naoki rides on Gulerton and takes Victini all the way east to the direction of the Pompeii Plain.

On the terrace of the castle, the old king and Victini looked up in the direction they left, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Nini?" Victini on the side was a little confused. It could also go over to help. In this way, their chances of winning would become greater.

But the old king just stopped it, which made Victini very puzzled.

"I know my two sons. Once they decide on something, they will never turn back."

"If it is really as that person said, the energy of the dragon vein will be chaotic and the earth will be destroyed. At that time, I am afraid... So we have to stay to prevent that from happening."

"Nini!" Victini suddenly panicked.

But if you do that, you will lose your life!

The old king gently touched Victini's head: "It's okay, I'm very old."

He lowered his head and looked at the town below the castle with Victini.

The golden sunlight fell on the town, and the housewife carrying a basket pushed open the door and walked out. A little boy lying on the second-floor window waved his hand vigorously to say goodbye to his mother.

Innocent children chasing and playing in the town, young people full of hope, wives waiting for their husbands to return, workers building the city wall...

There, his people live.

"If we fail, we will never see this beautiful scene again." The old king said slowly.

"Nini..." Victini seemed to understand what he said. At this moment, he understood what the old king meant.
