Chapter 428 The Sinnoh Son-in-Law is Confirmed!
The white smoke walls that once enveloped Poplar Town have long since disappeared.
Sunlight is shining on the ground again, and the once dilapidated town is being rebuilt at an astonishing speed.
Of course, even with all sorts of advanced technology and Pokémon in this world, the progress shouldn't have been this fast originally.
The collapsed ruins defied the laws of physics and flew into the sky, quickly arranging themselves into the shape of buildings. The cracks between the bricks were filled with filling material that appeared out of nowhere, and the area was soon transformed.
The conspicuous cracks in the earth and sky, created by the "Sub-Void Rift Slash," quickly healed and disappeared under the influence of a pale pink energy.
The two dragons who rule time and space in the Sinnoh legend are now, under Aoba's arrangement, settling the score for their previous actions.
"This is unbelievable—"
In the square in the center of Baiyang Town, Zhu Lan looked up at the sky and then at the two gods who were working diligently, a smile of interest appearing on her lips.
"So the two gods of time and space have been battling above White Poplar Town all along? Does that mean the legend of Orasion is true?"
"And—Qingyu, how did you do that?"
Zhu Lan reached out and tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, then turned her head to look at Qing Yu with curious eyes.
After receiving Gossong's message that Qingyu had appeared near the Sinnoh League riding the Hades Dragon Rider Radina, she thought the matter was over.
As a result, he immediately started a live broadcast after leaving the reversed dimension and came to Baiyang Town, which was affected by the battle between the two gods of time and space.
Not only did Qingyu encounter three legendary gods from Sinnoh in one go, but he also quelled their anger in his own unique way, and they were even willing to accept his command.
Even miracles cannot describe what he did.
"Hmm—I'll answer them one by one."
Qingyu pondered for a moment and then replied.
"First of all, the legend of 'Oracion' is accurate. The residents of the former Poplar Town used the Tower of Time and Space and this music that could move the gods to restore peace to the two gods of time and space."
According to the timeline of the anime and the movie, Ash should be here a few years in the future, and the Time Tower that was destroyed earlier is indeed very important.
However, since I had a better solution, I didn't end up using it at all.
It's still Giratina who has the most influence.
"As for how I did it—"
Qingyu rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, giving an ambiguous answer.
"Perhaps it's because my constitution is special, but it seems like other legendary Pokémon are more likely to befriend me."
"Also, I got this from Giratina."
As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, she took out a purple short flute from her pocket.
Zhu Lan's attention was immediately drawn to it. After taking it and examining it carefully for a while, she suddenly blinked.
"Is this the Celestial Flute?"
"Why does it feel... kind of ordinary?"
"Are you questioning the aesthetic sense of the Creator God?"
Qingyu joked with a smile.
The Celestial Flute is an essential tool for meeting Arceus, and its connection to this creator god is quite significant.
"Although it took a little longer, we still got the most important thing."
"After resolving the crisis caused by the two Time Gods and appeasing Giratina's anger, the Lake Gods will also help us when needed."
"Now, only the final gun key is needed."
Qingyu's casual words left Zhulan stunned.
Although it sounds simple and actually doesn't take much time, that's precisely why she knows how complicated the process is.
It was extremely difficult to even make contact with the gods of the lake, let alone learn from them the whereabouts of the Celestial Flute.
However, Giratina must overcome another hurdle to obtain the Celestial Flute.
Apart from Qingyu, Zhulan couldn't think of anyone else who could "speedrun" the reverse dimension.
Even for myself, it was absolutely impossible; the strength and understanding of each other were completely unequal.
Qingyu, however, accomplished this with remarkable ease.
This is truly—
"Thank you, Qingyu."
Cynthia sincerely expressed her gratitude to him on behalf of Sinnoh, but quickly received a somewhat confused look in his eyes.
"You have to thank me? That's too formal!"
Qingyu smiled, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhulan's wrist, forcefully interrupting the conversation while leading her to the other side of Baiyang Town.
"Kah???"
The Garchomp behind Cynthia immediately turned dangerous.
This guy was definitely up to no good!
Now that she dares to hold Zhulan's hand, I don't even dare to think about what she'll do next!
Garchomp clearly had a lot to say about Qingyu's little tricks.
However, it did not take any action, but only sighed and then silently followed.
However, on the other hand—
Considering that this kid was decent enough before and had helped Zhu Lan solve a lot of troubles, I'll just turn a blind eye this time.
This is a one-time offer!
Qingyu originally planned to stroll around with Zhulan and see if they could run into Darkrai again.
After all, he had openly "stole" its moves in the previous battle, so he should at least show some appreciation and perhaps get an open-source license from it.
What does it mean that a Mewtwo has learned Dark Hole?
-
Sylveon and Indeedee might even be able to learn a trick, which could be very useful for sneaking up on someone when necessary.
However, instead of Darkrai, they soon encountered a flustered, worried middle-aged nobleman.
"Bamboo and bamboo orchid champions, thank you so much for your timely assistance!"
Aoba vaguely remembered his face; he seemed to be the Baron who had transformed into a licking giant tongue in the movie.
Judging from his flustered attitude just now, it seems that he should be the person in charge of Baiyang Town?
That makes sense. Such a huge incident happened in a small town, and because all the residents were corrupted by Darkrai's nightmares, they were completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Imagine waking up to find the Tower of Time and Space collapsed, Baiyang Town almost completely destroyed, and the regional champion has arrived in front of you. Even the strongest heart would be terrified.
Although you can't really blame him.
It's possible for a mythical beast to go berserk once in hundreds of years, and he just happened to be unlucky enough to be one of them.
However, there was something in Baiyang Town that piqued his curiosity.
Qingyu turned around and looked at the Time Tower, which was now completely restored and whose clock had started to tick again, not far away.
Ten minutes later.
"This is it."
Led by Baron Licking the Tongue, Qingyu and Zhulan quickly arrived at the top floor of the Tower of Time and Space.
"The town of Baiyang was given a special mission when this tower was built."
As he walked forward, the baron excitedly gave his introduction.
Even though the Tower of Time and Space had been destroyed before, he couldn't help but straighten his chest with pride whenever he thought of the historical legends about this place.
"It is said that Baiyang Town is located at the intersection of time and space planes, so similar things happened in ancient times."
"Our wise ancestors chose to build this tower and at its highest point, they carefully played a piece of music that could soothe the soul, successfully quelling the anger of the two gods of time and space."
"From then on, this piece of music, called 'Olasion,' became the most important cultural symbol of Baiyang Town."
As he spoke, the Baron had already reached the center of the top floor and inserted a music disc into a device made of precious metals.
A gentle and beautiful melody slowly played, and with the help of the special amplification structure of the Tower of Time and Space, it drifted to every corner of Poplar Town.
"A very gentle piece of music."
Zhu Lan subconsciously squinted her eyes, fully immersing herself in the cleansing effect of the music.
Qingyu, who was standing nearby, quickly noticed as well—
When the melody entered his mind, his mind immediately relaxed a lot.
The person who composed this piece is an absolute genius.
"Can I copy a music disc?"
Just as the Baron narrowed his eyes and slowed his breathing to the rhythm of the music, Qingyu's voice interrupted his immersive experience, bringing his consciousness back to reality immediately.
"sure."
The Baron nodded decisively.
"As one of the symbols of Poplar Town, you can actually buy CDs containing the Orasion in the town itself."
"I understand, I'll go buy one."
Aoba vaguely felt that this piece of music contained a deeply hidden power, which might be very useful to him since he frequently came into contact with legendary Pokémon.
This is like having an extra trump card.
Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be a Pokémon in his team that can sing "Oracion" as a move.
Currently, it seems there isn't one that meets the criteria. Even Sylveon, with its sweet voice, can only use "high notes" for noise attacks; it's more suited to singing Perish songs and doesn't seem to have much potential for singing.
However, we'll definitely encounter it in the future.
As Qingyu pondered this, she walked to the window.
The melodious strains of "Orasion" echoed above the town, causing people nearby to relax unconsciously, and some local residents even began to dance along with the music.
Even the two gods of time and space who had just finished their work above seemed to be in a good mood thanks to the music.
"Hoichi—"
When Dialga saw Qingyu sticking his head out of the window, he quickly let out a low growl with a sense of farewell. After exchanging a glance with Palkia, he flew into the sky without looking back and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Having been successfully persuaded by Qingyu and Giratina's "joint therapy," they should now return to their respective planes and continue to uphold their missions.
Qingyu waved to their retreating figures, smiling without saying a word.
Soon, Zhu Lan, snapping out of her reverie, came over and, mimicking his posture, leaned against the window, smiling broadly: "I thought you'd keep them to film an episode of the Mythology series before letting them go."
"Actually, the material was already recorded in the Inverted Dimension, including Giratina, and their basic information was also recorded into the Pokédex."
Qingyu continued, a proud look on her face.
"After this incident, Uxie and the others owe me a favor. I'll arrange for them to have close-up shots before I leave Sinnoh."
"If we can successfully open the Pillar of the Spear ruins, maybe even that goat—Arceus—can record some precious footage."
When this topic came up, Qingyu became visibly excited.
Sinnoh is truly a wonderful place, teeming with legendary and mythical Pokémon. I've only managed to recognize about half of them so far.
Even more impressive are the alpaca clones in the Pillar of Spear ruins and the Toilet King Regigigas, who sleeps beneath the Snow Peak Temple.
He also had a general idea of the exact locations of other powerful figures such as Heatran and Cresselia.
My time in Sinnoh this time was relatively short, so I probably won't be able to complete the entire Sinnoh Pokédex in one go, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
"If Professor Oak knew how dedicated you are to collecting the Pokédex, he would definitely invite you to join his team."
After hearing this, Zhu Lan smiled and teased Qing Yu, then quickly stretched out her index finger and poked Qing Yu's cheek.
"Since you're so interested in the legendary beings of Sinnoh, why don't you just stay here and work part-time as a mythologist with me?"
"It just so happens that Grandma Kikuno is preparing for her retirement, and the top spot will likely be vacant next year, making it a perfect stepping stone for the championship."
"Grandma will be very happy too."
"Me too~"
Zhu Lan's tone seemed to carry a hint of teasing, but only she herself probably knew the truth behind her words.
In Qingyu's view, this sentence meant roughly the same thing—
Your friend "Zhulan" has sent you a request to be her sugar daddy/sugar baby!
Oh no, this time it's really confirmed that he's the son-in-law of Sinnoh.
But in the end, with Zhu Lan's irresistible personal charm, how many people could refuse to work with her?
Moreover, it was she who took the initiative to invite him.
If he hadn't grown up in Padia and hadn't protected the Sunshine Gym, which held immense significance for him, he probably wouldn't have refused.
"If I really did that, I feel like President Yoji would come storming into Shinwa Town the next day—"
In the end, Qingyu reluctantly declined Zhulan's "invitation".
"Besides, Padia also needs me."
"Once everything is on track, I might hand over the positions of Elite Four member and Gym Leader to Nemo and travel around the world for a while."
"I would be even more excited if you were willing to come together."
After a moment of silence, Zhu Lan gave a helpless smile.
"That's an invitation I can't refuse."
"However, if I agree, you have to grant me one request in return."
Qingyu blinked, quietly waiting for her to continue.
"While you were traveling to the Reversed Dimension, Grandma's research team had already located the Key to the Gun, which is in the Random Ruins located east of Random Town."
Zhu Lan continued gently.
"If Qingyu, who can read ancient scripts, is willing to go there with us, the work might go very smoothly."
Qingyu understood what she meant, so she nodded.
"I see."
"I happen to be very interested in the relic totems that often appear in the ruins."
So, Qingyu quickly decided on her itinerary for the next day: to visit the Ruins of Randomness and experience the feeling of making archaeological discoveries with Zhulan!
