Chapter 160: Mewtwo and Calyrex

At first, Mewtwo saw a world of pitch black, followed by a wide street in shades of gray, white, and black. Houses lined both sides of the street. Then, the sun illuminated the world, filling it with color; the wind stirred the leaves, and after sunset, he saw the stars and the night.

Then, this dream from his memories began to dissipate. Mewtwo opened his eyes, looking somewhat blankly at the "shadow" before him.

It was a Pokémon that looked like a cross between a small deer and a rabbit, holding farming tools in its hands. But most importantly—

"What a huge head!"

Calyrex: "How rude! Why does everyone say that! Wait, I recognize you!"

Mewtwo stood up abruptly, staring blankly at the surrounding scene. After the initial dream faded, he had actually arrived in such a strange place. Beneath his feet was a vibrant green meadow, but it was unnaturally vivid, like an illusion drawn with watercolors.

Not far away were vast stretches of farmland and berry fields, where a bunch of strange crops were growing.

A sun and clouds that looked like simple sketches hung in the sky. In the distance, several floating islands drifted, connected to the land beneath his feet, but the bridges between them were rainbows?

Where on earth is this place!

"What is going on here? It looks like a human child's drawing. By the way, are you a Pokémon?"

"With this appearance, could it be... are you Calyrex?"

That iconic big head could not be mistaken; from the color to the shape, it was exactly the same as the doll!

Had the doll turned real?

"This is the Pokémon Dream World. I am... well, I was invited to live here, a half-owner?"

Calyrex stared at Mewtwo. Although it had never seen Mewtwo before, this power of faith could not be wrong!

Calyrex's mouth curled up slightly, feeling happy from the bottom of its heart:

"Speaking of which, you seem to be a great believer of mine! To think you would appear out of thin air on this land."

"You must be the Pokémon named Mewtwo! Thank you very much for your trust and support; my power has recovered quite a bit! I never expected to meet in the Dream World!"

"But it seems you don't know the reason why you entered the Dream World."

Mewtwo asked somewhat urgently: "So you really are Calyrex. Do you know how I got in?"

Calyrex's eyes widened, looking dazed, and it retorted in a self-righteous tone: "How would I know how you got in! I was just asking."

Mewtwo: "...?"

This Calyrex didn't seem very bright.

However, being able to meet this Legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo was still somewhat happy. He observed the surrounding scene, and his gaze suddenly froze.

Although Aura Sphere is a move that must hit, if the "move" itself is cut off, it makes no sense. Moreover, the must-hit of Aura Sphere is probably because "Aura" itself will perceive the enemy's Aura, and only by this setting can it be must-hit.

"This is the Dream Workshop, connected to the Traveler's Workshop in the Shenshan land. Its owner is a mysterious craftsman named Xiang Guangtai."

"It seems you know nothing about the Pokémon Dream World."

Calyrex patted its chest, full of pride: "In that case, let me give you a proper introduction to this dreamlike land!"

"The Pokémon Dream World is a special world connected to the hearts of all Pokémon. All Pokémon can freely enter the Dream World. This is the deepest part of dreams; in other words, it is the place of all Pokémon's dreams."

"Every Pokémon's dream is different, so floating islands don't necessarily appear. Most dreams with floating islands are very special. For example, my floating island is the Crown Tundra from the real world. By the way, my identity is the King of Bountiful Harvests who once ruled Galar, so I am also located in Galar in reality."

"Things harvested in the Dream World can be considered real, but it is quite troublesome to bring them out of the dream. You need to go to the region called Unova and find the forest called the Entralink Forest. Only in that mysterious forest can things from the dream enter the real world."

Mewtwo had experienced many journeys, but this was his first time coming to a world in a dream.

He felt very shocked. A spiritual world outside the real world?

According to Calyrex's explanation, all dreams were actually part of the Dream World, and he just didn't know it before?

Mewtwo: "This is a bit beyond my understanding. I have traveled to many places and have never encountered such a thing."

"... If I have powerful psychic abilities, can I move directly from this Dream Workshop to the Shenshan Workshop?"

Calyrex's eyes were dazed: "The only ones who can travel between reality through the workshop are the workshop owner and his Pokémon. And if you could do that, why not just use Teleport to go there?"

Mewtwo: "Indeed."

Calyrex: "Do you want to go to Shenshan? I want to see it too, but there only seem to be some ruins and ancient villages there."

Mewtwo: "I just want to live a peaceful life. Shenshan is a place that meets my requirements very well. It is very secret, located on a land unknown to anyone, without human harm, without hunger, and without war or strife."

The land in the Dream Workshop was well managed by Calyrex, with large farmlands planted with many crops and orchards growing large amounts of Pecha Berries, but... what was that huge broccoli!

"Impressive, right? That was grown by me and another Pokémon working together; it's a brand-new crop. The soil in the Dream World has become very fertile and suitable for farming after being cultivated by me and my friend Xiang Guangtai. Here, you can grow special crops that are rare or even difficult to grow in the real world. Also, I have been farming personally, and it seems I have gained some unique power through the work."

"The crops planted here were all collected by me personally."

Calyrex was a bit proud, and then it enlightened Mewtwo:

"There is no land without strife in the world. If there is, it would only be here."

Calyrex pointed to the ground beneath its feet: "In the Dream World, all Pokémon can live with peace of mind."

However, just after finishing the sentence, Calyrex thought of Walking Wake, who was picking up things everywhere.

Ah... actually, that's not necessarily true.

Calyrex: "Since you've come here, stay! It just so happens that we are recruiting Pokémon here. My power hasn't really recovered much, so farming the land consumes quite a bit of stamina!"

Mewtwo asked suspiciously: "Recruiting... to help you farm this land? Are you the only Pokémon here?"

Calyrex: "There is another Pokémon that lives here long-term, named Walking Wake, but it went out to invite Pokémon. It is not good at friendly communication with other Pokémon; it really worries me."

"I farm here to cultivate special soil and crops. Here, take this."

Calyrex pulled up a radish and handed it to Mewtwo, and started promoting it: "The radishes I cultivate are delicious! Although this is not a giant crop, nor a shining crop, the juice is really super abundant! It's crunchy, and the texture is very good!"

"Ah... thank you." Mewtwo took the orange-red radish and chewed it in his mouth.

Hmm! Mewtwo's eyes lit up.

"The taste is really good! It's even better than the same food I've tasted in human society!"

"That goes without saying, I am the Legendary King who governs bounty! Growing high-quality crops is a piece of cake!" Calyrex proudly raised its big head, finally standing tall in front of its believer, no longer being "Caly-weak"!

While speaking, a dragon roar suddenly erupted from a floating island in the distance. Mewtwo looked over alertly, and Calyrex's voice sounded from the side:

"Walking Wake is back... Hmm! Why do you look like this?"

Walking Wake's appearance as it ran back was quite disheveled; the mane on its body looked like it had exploded, there were scars all over its dragon body, and even the crystal on its head left traces of being attacked. Walking Wake glanced at Mewtwo, first shocked by this Pokémon's power, but before it could ask who the other party was, it began to complain to Calyrex with cries!

It met those three Pokémon again!

It was clearly discussing the issue of offering seeds and living in other dreams, wasn't it just planning to drag them over to live? It was really a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; it didn't know how it attracted those three Pokémon again!

If it had another chance, Walking Wake definitely wouldn't have bitten Cobalion's horn back then. This guy always called the other two Pokémon similar to it, chasing it everywhere in the dream!

And Mewtwo stared blankly at Walking Wake.

Walking Wake...?

The giant dragon in front of him had a high degree of similarity to the Pokémon named "Suicune"!

Click—

The door of the Dream Workshop suddenly opened gently, attracting the attention of the three Pokémon!
