Chapter 31: Congratulations, Dou Jianqiao Evolved into

Xiang Guangtai touched the huge gemstone and observed its composition.

The knowledge of the ancient treasure hunter was activated.

【Precious Material: 【Walking Wake's Crown Crystal】.】

【Description: It has properties similar to Water Gem, but its appearance is closer to crystal. Compared to Suicune's crystal crown, Walking Wake's crown is larger, and the material composing the crown is also somewhat different. The color at the end of the crown is lighter and more transparent, and it seems to be mixed with 'Terastal' energy.】

【Acquisition Clue (Brilliant Crystal): Crystal is a high-concentration Terastal energy emerging from the ground. It looks like a shiny huge crystal and can be seen in the Paldea region/Kitakami.】

【Acquisition Clue (Walking Wake's Crystal) -- Obtained from Walking Wake's crown. As part of the Pokémon's body, the crown will be worn and replaced over the years. It is part of the Pokémon's body.】

【Acquisition Clue (Ancient Crystal): A kind of crystal that appeared a long time ago, containing incredible power, can convey the will of Pokémon, and make the hearts of humans and Pokémon communicate. Can be seen in Iceberg Ruins/Rock Mountain Ruins/Black Gold Ruins.】

Obtained clues for three types of crystals at once!

However, he didn't get any of them. The dream world cannot be forced too much. If you want to obtain materials from the dream world, you have to wait for the results of dream research in the Unova region.

I don't know if the dream research there has been successful now. I will search for relevant information on the Internet when I go back.

Xiang Guangtai's body became more and more dim. He put down the Gigaton Ball and waved his hand:

"Thank you, see you next time... No, maybe we will never see each other again."

After all, Walking Wake is a Pokémon from a distant other world.

"Roar?"

Walking Wake narrowed its eyes slightly, a little confused, looked at the ball Xiang Guangtai threw on the ground, and then bit it. It remembered Xiang Guangtai's scent.

Still want to eat some Pecha Berries.

Space-time ripples appeared around Walking Wake. It seemed that some power from the other side of space-time was calling it. Soon it disappeared with the Gigaton Ball.

And the moment before it disappeared, the appearance of the Gigaton Ball seemed to have changed, turning into a pink Dream Ball.

At the same time, Unown E, who had been looking for the non-existent Ghost-type Pokémon, did not appear in the real world, but was directly bounced into the space-time rift where it originally lived as the dream shattered.

Inside the space-time rift, there were many Unown. This is one of the places where they live.

Something was calling through the time rift. The Unown discovered more than one thing that looked like a Pokémon. Those "Pokémon" were called to a very distant land from another space-time.

Unown E felt a familiar power. It looked at those Pokémon traveling through time lines, one of which was exactly the same as the "fake Suicune" that just appeared in the dream!

And the direction that guy was summoned, why is it different from other Pokémon? It seems to have made a big turn?

Dream shattered.

Xiang Guangtai gradually woke up in bed, and Dou Jianqiao also woke up from the corner.

"I feel like something has been in the room... It wouldn't be a Ghost-type Pokémon, would it!"

Xiang Guangtai noticed the abnormal atmosphere in the room, but couldn't find the source of this abnormal feeling for a while.

Only the material information deeply branded in his mind was telling Xiang Guangtai that the dream just now didn't seem to be an ordinary dream.

Xiang Guangtai felt strange, but at this time he suddenly touched something on the bed.

It was a blue crystal, and the color looked almost the same as Walking Wake's crown!

The thoughts in his mind surged and gathered!

'Captured "Walking Wake (Dream)"!'

'Due to the professional knowledge of the Dragon Tamer, the bond with Walking Wake has sprouted!'

'Due to the Symbolic Stone Slab, you have a strong connection with Walking Wake, and perhaps you will meet each other at some point...!'

【Obtained Precious Material: 【Walking Wake's Crown Fragment】!】

【Obtained Relevant Knowledge: 1】

【Dream Treasure Hunter: Sometimes you will passively enter the dream of a Pokémon. Each time you enter a dream, there is a chance to bring out some things from the Pokémon dream world.】

【Obtained Craft Quantity: 1】

【Crystal Processing Craft (C+): A rare craft that can process any crystal. By processing crystals, they can be turned into some specified special items; all crystal crafts you process will have the effect of slightly purifying the soul.】

【Item that might be made: 【Clear Bell】.】

【Possible Craft Needed: 3.】

Will meet each other at some point...

Good guy!

Xiang Guangtai's thinking suddenly diverged.

If Walking Wake's crystal can also match the Clear Bell.

For Ho-Oh, the bell made using Walking Wake's crystal is not officially authorized.

However, if he could really summon Ho-Oh, would the other party be a bit strange?

The tone of this bell is not right, why is there a dragon roar?

"And the dream world, the Pokémon dream world? So, the dream in the Burned Tower just now was actually not my dream, but a Pokémon's? Is it Walking Wake's dream? But why?"

Would the ancient Paradox Suicune dream of the modern normal Ho-Oh?

It dreamed of it.

Oh, the Burned Tower is actually Lugia's.

"If it is in the Entree Forest of Unova, the Pokémon dreamed of can be brought out from the dream world... The Pokémon in the dream will appear in the Entree Forest in a materialized form at the cost of berries. However, rather than saying it is materialized, it is more like being 'summoned' from other places."

"I captured Walking Wake? It seems I should go to the Entree Forest once. Maybe I can summon Walking Wake."

"But for the people of Unova, the Entree Forest seems to be a secret location, unknown to people. I don't know if the C-Gear for entering the dream has been developed yet."

There are many secret locations in this world, and the Divine River land where he lives is one of them!

Of course, theoretically, if Walking Wake wants to come to this world, it must have been called by the time machine, so it should appear in the Paldea region...

Xiang Guangtai shook his head, drove these messy thoughts out, and began to pay serious attention to the names of the three crafts.

Fire Forging Craft, Crystal Processing Craft, Ball Net Weaving Craft.

He had already obtained one of them, and next, the Forging Craft was obviously the easiest to obtain.

"There is indeed a forging room in the workshop..."

"Eh?"

Xiang Guangtai talked to himself, and Dou Jianqiao also woke up in a daze, and discussed with Xiang Guangtai about the things in the dream, which made Xiang Guangtai quite surprised!

Is the Dou Jianqiao in the dream the Dou Jianqiao in reality?

"Our dreams are connected?"

"Yo?"

One person and one sword looked at each other for a long time, feeling that this matter was quite magical!

Xiang Guangtai came to the workbench and found an abnormality.

The word spelled by the stone slab should have been Suicune. But the Dragon Stone Slab that was originally pressed under the computer touched the Symbolic Stone Slab on the workbench at some point, as if they were attracting each other.

So the word became "Walking Wake", forming a long string of Roman characters on the table.

This discovery surprised Xiang Guangtai quite a bit!

"What an incredible event! If I combine the words Entei and Raikou, will I meet 'Walking Wake' and 'Raging Bolt' in the same location in the dream world?"

"Try it again when your strength improves?"

"Hmm? Dou Jianqiao?"

Xiang Guangtai didn't get a response and turned his head to take a look.

Suddenly saw a change in Dou Jianqiao!

A faint white halo appeared on Dou Jianqiao's body. It was a bit confused, feeling that its body began to become strange!

A sword gradually began to split!

In Xiang Guangtai's surprised eyes, Dou Jianqiao... evolved!

Can you get experience points by defeating Walking Wake in a dream? Although the dream world is indeed an important branch of the Pokémon worldview... Oh right!

Xiang Guangtai clapped his hands!

Berries and material fragments in the dream world, and even Pokémon can be brought out, of course, experience points can also be obtained!

"Yo-woo~"

Accompanied by a strange heavy sound, what appeared in front of Xiang Guangtai were two swords crossed in an X shape. Its, or "their," eyes and ribbon color turned magenta, with a shield on the back. The two scabbards and the shield seemed to be fixed together.

'Congratulations, Dou Jianqiao evolved into "Doublade"!'

'Learned moves: Revenge, Iron Defense.'

"(⊙X⊙)?"

Doublade didn't seem to understand what happened, but soon "they" discovered...

"Yo-woo yo-pu!!!"

Xiang Guangtai, someone is imitating my face (x2)!

Johto region, Ilex Forest.

Suicune, who was resting, suddenly woke up and looked around.

It just had a dream. Unown appeared in the dream, and there were humans, a sword-shaped Pokémon it had never seen before, and... a dragon-type Pokémon that was extremely similar to itself but completely different.

And it seemed to have become a camera, only able to watch those guys having a melee at the bottom of the Burned Tower, slashing and breathing fire, and releasing high-temperature water flow!

Hey, this Burned Tower is the tower of legendary Pokémon, how can you guys be so reckless?

Wait?!

Why is it the Burned Tower!

"Woo?"

Suicune stood up suddenly, realizing that this dream might not be simple. It might indicate something. Could the Burned Tower have been dismantled? Although that tower is not Ho-Oh's but Lugia's, if the Burned Tower is dismantled, wouldn't the Tin Tower have an accident?

And the Unown seem to have become active. The Unown in the Ruins of Alph...

Was the source of this dream caused by them?

Perhaps I should ask the Unown again.

With a nervous mood, Suicune prepared to set off, regardless of the sky, leaping over lakes and forests, riding the North Wind, and rushing straight toward Ecruteak City.

Galar region, Slumbering Weald.

By the lake of the hero ruins, thick fog permeated, and the figure of a Pokémon appeared in the phantom.

It was not a real Pokémon, but a phantom projected.

It looked like a large dog-type Pokémon with red and blue colors. The red part occupied most of the body, while the blue was concentrated on the legs, tail, and head. One of the ears looked like a piece was missing, with a strand of hair sticking up, and the body was covered with patterns like wounds. The face looked like a small shield.

Shield of Rusted, Zamazenta, its phantom appeared in front of the ruins in confusion, looking at the Rusted Shield placed in the ruins, and couldn't help but have questions.

I thought someone took this shield... But the shield is still here, so why did I dream that the shield was used by someone?

It seemed to have been knocked away by something, I didn't see it clearly.

How strange.

It seems that the hero of the shield will not appear for a long time... This shield has been placed for too long and has already rotted.

Zamazenta paced in the forest for a while, didn't find anyone breaking into this forgotten ancient forest, so the phantom dissipated, and everything was as if it had never been here.

Unova region, Entree Forest. This is a forest in the center of the Unova region, which looks like a Poké Ball on the map. It is a magical place closely connected to other people's worlds.

However, in the Unova region, few people know about this mysterious forest, which is one of the secret locations in the Pokémon world.

Walking Wake shook its head, looking at the deep forest around it, there was no one, quiet and terrible. It was just pulled by some power, traveled through space-time, but for some reason fell into this forest.

Where is that humanoid giant dragon?

Where did my trainer go?

It put the pink Poké Ball aside and began to observe the forest...

Speaking of which, why is there no Pecha Berry in this forest?!

Walking Wake was a bit annoyed. It continued to search and unknowingly came to the edge of other Pokémon's dreams. Walking Wake looked at the pink mist strangely, and huge dragon Pokémon similar to it appeared inside...

"The real world is here..."

"The ideal world is here..."

Two equally grand voices sounded.

Walking Wake scratched its chest.

"Awoo!"

What are the guys in these two mists talking about! Is there any Pecha Berry or not!

Two mists: "...?"
