Could this be the “fated meeting” the Symbolic Tablet foretold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this reunion is still in a dream!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing Guang Tai, Wave Water tilted its head, then happily stepped forward. Lilyroot was tense and ready to use a move, but Guang Tai suddenly picked it up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t attack—it’s a friend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dragon… is a friend?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilyroot was deeply confused and still nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water looked at Lilyroot, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where’s that canceled straight-sword from last time? Did it get canceled? Why didn’t it appear? Did you switch to another Pokémon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it’s wonderful to meet again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water was extremely happy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this my little dragon trainer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did you end up here? It’s great to meet again—even if it’s still a dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai stepped forward and stroked Wave Water’s crown, mane, and lower jaw. Just like last time, Wave Water remained in a submissive posture, letting out contented rumbling sounds like a big dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it growled softly and looked toward the tall tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai, possessing the knowledge of a Dragon Tamer, understood Wave Water’s thoughts—and since this was a dream, he could communicate with no barriers as long as he willed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the “Crystal Heart” obtained from the Rock Mountain Ruins also activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water is an ancient Pokémon; though classified as a paradox, it was summoned from the past of another timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean this place is the dream of a giant dragon, and you’ve come here several times to search for Pecha Berries?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water let out a low, rumbling sigh, then began complaining loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s currently sleeping in a strange forest filled with pink mist, with no Pokémon around—but occasionally, some berries fall out of dreams. It planted those berries in the forest, but they grow too slowly to be enough to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dreaming in that forest lets you enter other Pokémon’s dreams and search for more berries, bringing them back to the strange forest—where they become real, edible berries. That’s how it’s been scavenging from other Pokémon’s dreams, and now everything’s piled up in that strange forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this dream, there’s a giant dragon that keeps saying, “The real world is here.” Getting near the tower triggers forest fires—it seems to be having a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai suddenly understood: “So the being inside the Dragon Spiral Tower is… the Legendary Dragon Pokémon, the True Dragon, White Dragon Reshiram!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he understood why the forest burned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mythology of Unova, if humans scorn truth and indulge desire, White Dragon will burn their kingdom with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long ago, White Dragon Reshiram and Black Dragon Zekrom fought a battle, exhausting themselves against the twin heroes they followed. The heroes realized their error and restored peace—but after they died, their sons reignited the war. Enraged, White Dragon and Black Dragon unleashed massive fire and lightning, reducing Unova to ashes. One then slumbered in the Ancient City, the other in the Dragon Spiral Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The memories from 2,500 years ago still replay in the dream—that’s why the forest keeps burning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai looked around at the forest, which was rapidly restoring itself—after all, this was a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Reshiram’s dream had nothing to do with Guang Tai. He cared only about where Wave Water’s true body currently lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange forest, connected to many Pokémon’s dreams, where real fragments can be obtained from dreams—it must be the Linking Forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water now pulled a Poké Ball from its mane. The pink Poké Ball startled Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… is the Heavy Ball I used in dreams, now solidified into a Dream Ball?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wave Water has been carrying this ball all along—and the Dream Ball works in both dream and reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water was meant to be summoned to Paldea, but due to an accidental dream, it somehow entered Unova’s forest. The Linking Forest is a secret known to almost no one in all of Unova—Guang Tai suddenly felt overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dream Treasure Hunters can take one item from a dream—but Wave Water’s true body is in the Linking Forest, meaning I can’t capture it in a dream and bring it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The pink mist drifting through the forest must be ‘Dream Mist’—the essential substance for entering the dream world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai gripped the Dream Ball and checked its information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Craft Item: Dream Ball (Wave Water’s Poké Ball)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A dream Poké Ball that appeared mysteriously in the bag within the Linking Forest.

Catch rate ×4 for sleeping Pokémon; otherwise, catch rate ×1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tip: This unique Poké Ball was “crafted” from Dream Mist and dream materials. Since Wave Water has already been caught and its location is the Linking Forest, it cannot be extracted from the dream by a Dream Treasure Hunter—you must go to the Linking Forest.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Corresponding Craft: Dream Ball Crafting]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai felt disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, there's no way to take it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Linking Forest in Unova is a strange place with unique power—only there can Pokémon be solidified, so being summoned there is normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” Guang Tai remembered his “Dream Home,” which had fixed soft soil—could he try bringing Wave Water back there directly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Wave Water could always get berries near his dream cottage, and every time Guang Tai entered dreams with his Pokémon, he’d be able to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Unova and Shen Du have no time difference… no, probably Wave Water just overslept. After all, it has nothing to do in the Linking Forest except sleep around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai immediately said to Wave Water: “Come back with me to my dream cottage. I can grow berries there—I’ll plant whatever kind you want to eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Guang Tai’s explanation, Wave Water immediately brightened, emitting affectionate rumbling sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My little dragon trainer really cares for me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, one more thing! Wave Water suddenly remembered something, pointed at the Dragon Spiral Tower, let out two loud “Aows,” then made a rumbling sound toward Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it shook its body, and with a thump, a round white stone rolled out from its mane. Wave Water picked it up with its tiny claws and offered it to Guang Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai froze on the spot after understanding Wave Water’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind why Wave Water always hides treasures in its mane—what’s this stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say you found this in this dream—not from the tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave Water scratched its face with its tiny claws and tilted its head oddly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, nobody wants this stone—and if it appeared in a giant dragon’s dream, it must be something valuable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guang Tai held the round white stone in both hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Craft Item (?): Light Stone (Cannot Be Removed)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description 1: The form Reshiram took after its body was destroyed.

Within the dream, the Light Stone endlessly replays the destruction dream from 2,500 years ago. It seems filled with anger and hatred toward something in the Dragon Spiral Tower.
