We all carry the Creator’s power—why should yours be stronger than mine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the chance arises—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to make it appear, a specific machine is needed: a machine that connects time and space, past and future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant memories slowly surfaced, piecing themselves together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Driftveil City, there were two—no, three special NPCs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Buck, Mr. Tem, and a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the child didn’t matter; what mattered were the father-son pair, Tem and Buck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept behind the Paldea Generation IX Time Machine originated from this father-son duo of Generation V.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember they invented time machines in separate timelines, but those machines could only view the past or future—they couldn’t travel. Very different from the time machines invented by the professors in the Zhu Zi era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they’re cheap—no special Terastal energy required. Just a Pokémon from another world that can be charged. Still, that’s not easy—you need to cross worlds first to get the power source. If you can do that, you wouldn’t need a time machine anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unova’s small workshops are astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Awooo (Thank you so much!)~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boiling Water made sounds inside its Poké Ball. Though it had never seen the Connection Tree, it had heard of the old tree from Guang Tai and Leafeon—and though it looked ugly, it was still pretty powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It controlled such a vast forest, and this place seemed the very center of the land—so did ancient people build their civilization here because of this tree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re absolutely right. Ancient people regarded this as the center of Unova precisely to harness Released Power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dreams and ideals of humans and Pokémon converged like a whirlpool, eventually becoming Released Power—perhaps Released Power came first, and the Connection Tree came after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because human will gathered in a special space, this strange plant called Connection emerged here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boiling Water now had a rough understanding of civilization: places where humans gathered. Reincarnated King often spoke of lost ancient civilizations, missing the glory days of its reign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But wait—Reincarnated King never even asked to be king! It’s just like a Pokémon tribe leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a ridiculous creature like Reincarnated King became a human king—there was no racial prejudice between them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Reincarnated King didn’t seem to have any kin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, yes. Reincarnated King is different from us—it was probably a unique Pokémon naturally born in the region called Galar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom Ember also speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Three Sacred Beasts weren’t just the Feraligatr Guard of Johto—others were likely molded by Feraligatr too, even possibly the current me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branches and leaves of the Connection Tree swayed gently; a farewell breeze stirred in this strange space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest is up to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, in the Connection space, items can be stored infinitely in the Deep Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai was surprised, then immediately delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this means... it’s become a natural storage warehouse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, but once everyone can use Connection, won’t this place turn into a plaza?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Connection Tree disagreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Connection Forest can manifest dreams, the Deep Forest is unique to each person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one can enter another’s Deep Forest, nor see Pokémon emerging from others’ dreams; items stored in the Deep Forest can only be retrieved by their owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of Connection is immense—not something simple at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Then that’s fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai gazed toward the distant grassland, where an ancient stone bridge stretched endlessly, its end shrouded in thick mist that blocked all sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That stone bridge was the “Wireless Connection Bridge,” a vital link to other worlds; the mist was likely the barrier separating one’s world from others in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the mist cleared could the Inner World truly connect with this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike in the game, returning didn’t require a special teleportation device—only a re-press of the Connection button on the C-Device. Once a gentle wave of Connection energy enveloped you, in the blink of an eye, as if traversing infinite space and time, you’d hear Dr. Mallow’s voice calling out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as mysteriously as when he vanished, he reappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Guang Tai disappeared, Dr. Mallow had been extremely tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Mallow exhaled: “You have no idea how sweaty my palms got—your Pokémon were staring at me anxiously, forcing me to recheck all my research data!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shinro was also monitoring the spacetime and dream fluctuations here, confirming that the Connection wave remained continuously active—so we knew the C-Device must be working. But I’ve never been to that world myself, so...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, welcome back! How was it? How different is that world from ours? You said the Connection Space is at the center of Unova—but the real center of Unova is just an endless ancient forest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Mallow had many questions, and Shinro did too—now awake, she tilted her head curiously at Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That world...” Guang Tai gave a brief account of the Connection World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But for more details, why not ask the Connection Tree yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you developed the C-Device, you’re now a Registered User of Released Power—the Connection Tree is deeply grateful to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai handed the C-Device to Dr. Mallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, the giggling Rotom suddenly darted into the C-Device!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! What’s happening? A Pokémon went inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Mallow pushed up her glasses, staring in disbelief at Rotom now appearing on the C-Device screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dreamlike girl even picked up the C-device and shook it vigorously, as if flicking off water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rotom inside the screen was still giggling, completely unconcerned by the shaking outside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can enter any electrical appliance—that’s the Electric Ghost Rotom, a Plasma Pokémon, a special Pokémon from the Spirit Realm that changes form when entering appliances with special motors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I didn’t expect it could get inside the C-device too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai watched curiously as the C-device changed, but since there was no special motor, its exterior showed no abnormality—it didn’t change form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world currently has no Rotom Pokédex entries or Rotom products; those were all custom-made at first, later mass-produced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the earliest Rotoms seemed able to directly use real-world appliances to take on corresponding types, without needing specially made motorized electricity—perhaps this was Rotom’s true greatest ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Special Episodes, Rotom once became the “Tornadus Ω Robot,” riding a toy Gundam—no one knows what type that Rotom was back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a robot, maybe it’s Steel + Electric?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special motor?” Songlu tilted her head, puzzled. Guang Tai crossed his arms, thinking: “I think the R9 Shopping Plaza has one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! You mean this kind of appliance? Wait a moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lightbulb lit up above Songlu’s head. She dashed off on her little legs and returned moments later, carrying a large box!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look! Before, my sister took apart many appliances to study the C-device, so she ordered some from R9 Shopping Plaza. But Redwood said these appliances were dead stock—they couldn’t sell at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songlu waved her hand: “These appliances use an immature special technology. Using them is extremely inconvenient, and they often crash—because quality control was terrible, they became dead stock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rotom~! Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Rotom burst out of the C-device, zipping past Songlu like an ionized particle, giving her hair a natural curl, then immediately diving into one of the appliances inside the box!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirrrrrr—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rotom took flight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Transform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spin Rotom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spin Rotom is Rotom that has entered a fan driven by a special motor; it generates powerful winds to blow away enemies. It loves playing pranks by creating gusts that scatter nearby objects, then chuckles triumphantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A troublesome thing that spews gales to cause mischief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although several household appliances can host Rotom, the fan was the first one developed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was the fan bought from R9!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rotom blasted a strong wind, messing up Dr. Shinju’s hair, but then, unsatisfied, it abandoned the fan and dove straight into the oven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Transform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heat Rotom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heat Rotom is Rotom that has entered a microwave or oven driven by a special motor; it excels at controlling flames. It loves pranks using heat, scorching everything around black, then laughing joyfully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai muttered, but Songlu tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it seems uncomfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lo-lo-to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rotom’s expression looked constipated, its mouth drooping, as if sweating coldly. Then it flew straight out of the microwave and dashed back into the fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the microwave or oven itself is malfunctioning, the Rotom inside will become listless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are super defective products. How could such things be sold in a major mall? No wonder they didn’t sell—these probably came from Sinnoh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songlu gasped: “Hey! How did you know? It really was imported from Sinnoh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai: “Now I know who produced these defective goods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Galactic—those were sold by Red's company!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Team Galactic had advanced wave technology—they were just selling household appliances on the regular market!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Galactic Appliances—subsidiary of Team Galactic Conglomerate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Songlu counted on her fingers: “Team Galactic Appliances is a famous company! They handle household appliances and devices, digital audiovisual electronics, office products, aviation equipment and systems, batteries and electronic components for mobility and infrastructure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their slogan: A better life, a better world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why Sinnoh has the Global Trade Center—in Jubilife City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Galactic Conglomerate is also a huge conglomerate in Sinnoh—they’ve invested in building many skyscrapers! Their boss is a down-to-earth businessman! Many researchers got their equipment imported from them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A better life, a better world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Team Galactic’s parallel-world counterpart is Panasonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How wonderfully idealistic—definitely Red's company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A better world → a world without a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Red’s skill level, he could handcraft any household appliance into a premium product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only person who could mass-produce and sell cheap junk like this—and who’s tied to Rotom technology—is one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This batch of goods is sold by Team Galactic’s chief researcher, the old man Mingwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, lend me the C-device!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai took back the C-device and shouted at the whistling Rotom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rotom burst out of the fan, grinning, and dove straight into the C-device!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【World Item (Special Pokémon Form): Connected Rotom·C-Device!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Description: The C-device is a special apparatus for world connection.
