Chapter 1458: Spacetime Travel

"Observation Permit?"

Baimu fell into deep thought.

This update left him a bit unable to understand.

The first time the exchange function appeared, it allowed him to stably obtain high-ceiling tier rewards; the second time the exchange function was upgraded, it raised the raisable ceiling to Lv. 100.

The third time, Observation Permit?

He subconsciously associated it with the Plates of the Unown from *Pokémon Legends: Arceus*, the inscription on the back of which reads—

"In all universes,"

"It watches over Pokémon and people."

Therefore, theoretically speaking, Arceus's existence belongs to the multiverse level, just like legendary cosmic Pokémon such as Necrozma can open Ultra Wormholes and freely travel between various worlds.

After the second update, Baimu had been speculating whether Arceus had adapted the stories occurring in parallel worlds into simulations for him to watch.

Strong curiosity prompted him to open the new function.

After quickly understanding the content, Baimu realized this update's content was larger than he had anticipated!

First, the simulator underwent a massive overhaul; he can now choose between pixel perspective and dream perspective—

Similar to the previously rewarded simulation memories, except this time even the simulation process can be realized through dreams; the simulation subject's experiences will be more concrete, truly deserving to be called a first-person experience of another life.

At the same time, after the simulation ends, the reward content has one additional line:

【Select Reward: Travel to the simulation subject's spacetime (once)】

Once?

What does that mean?

Baimu pondered briefly, suspecting that after going there and coming back, there would be no way to go again.

Moreover, what is written above is the simulation subject's 【spacetime】; could it be directly traversing to the era where the other party is?

This made him feel even more curious; coincidentally, the simulation count just happened to be enough to exchange for an orange talent once, so Baimu decided to try it when he went back in the evening.

"Observation, huh."

His heart was filled with myriad emotions.

It is hard to imagine why Arceus would favor him so; the treatment of a biological son could not exceed this; His generosity is indescribable.

Baimu closed the simulator, gripped the Chizhou Wristband in his arms, and prayed silently.

Before, he did not believe in any gods; now he believes.

Fanatically!

And while Baimu was praying in a campus corner, a call came from behind, "Baimu? Are you here?"

He turned his head and discovered it was his most dedicated and dutiful principal's assistant, Xiao Yin.

"Yo!"

He smiled and waved in greeting.

Seeing him, Xiao Yin let out a breath of relief and complained, "Why didn't you show your face when you came back? The school is in a total mess right now!"

"Did something happen?"

Baimu was at a loss.

Xiao Yin then explained that the Three Pillars had returned to the school not long ago and were witnessed by students who just happened to have class let out.

The students believed he had also returned; the news spread like wildfire, causing an uproar, and they started searching everywhere for this principal who wouldn't show his face.

Baimu: "..."

Xiao Yin urged, "You go out quickly! The teachers won't be able to hold them back much longer!"

In the original plan, his triumphant return had a dedicated welcome ceremony; unexpectedly, the Three Pillars' whereabouts were exposed early, triggering a series of disturbances.

Baimu naturally could not stand by and do nothing; he directly followed Xiao Yin to the campus broadcast room, made an announcement in his capacity as principal, and urged the students to each return to their classes and continue lessons.

"... The celebration party will be held next Monday."

The words added at the very last moment drew cheers that resounded throughout the campus.

"Yay!!"

"Woohoo!!"

In a certain classroom, Nayi had an Ayaball on her head and looked at the Hikerat crouching beside her, her face showing both happiness and conflict.

Should she tell Baimu about Hikerat's evolution or not?

The principal seems very busy; going to disturb him over such a small matter feels not quite right.

Nayi showed a few degrees of indecisiveness.

However, she didn't have to struggle for long; Baimu soon personally came to the door.

Afternoon classes ended.

When students began participating in club activities, Nayi, who had joined the 【Elegance Club】, was rehearsing the cheer dance to be performed that evening with her partners.

"Dailuo really! Such an important matter and she just up and leaves!"

"Shengcai too!"

"Good thing Piru finished making all the clothes."

Listening to the complaints around her, Nayi persuaded them with slight embarrassment, "I believe they also had no choice..."

The Elegance Club is a campus club led by Dailuo, supported by Shengcai and Piru, with Nayi serving as its first president; participants without exception all aim to become Coordinator Trainers.

Tieluono serves as the guiding teacher; he will give opinions to this group of students dedicated to becoming Coordinator Trainers.

One undeniable point: the majority of the Elegance Club members are fans of Lopunny; the strength and beauty it displayed among the Eight Masters deeply attracted them.

Thus, everyone proposed learning Lopunny's dance to perform at the celebration party.

Of course, other clubs had similar ideas, and this received approval from many teachers, with a strong intention to treat the day Baimu returns after winning the championship as a school anniversary or campus festival.

It's a pity that Dai Luo, the lead dancer, inexplicably said she wanted to leave during the day, taking Sheng Cai and Pi Lu with her.

Only Ming Yi remained, leading the leftover members.

Everyone had no choice but to change the original plan.

Ming Yi could clearly feel the anger of others, but she also didn't know what to do, so she could only try her best to calm everyone down.

During this process, Baimu suddenly appeared.

His purpose for coming here was precisely to take a look at Ming Yi and the Flame Mouse, as an important part of the Ou Lei Three Families plan, so he definitely needed to pay more attention.

The students of the Splendid Society didn't expect him to appear, and they all showed exceptional delight.

"Principal!"

"Champion!"

"Hello, classmates!"

Baimu smiled and greeted them, seeing Ming Yi avert her gaze, looking as if she didn't dare to meet his eyes, he casually rubbed her head, "Did you successfully evolve the Flame Mouse? Not bad!"

"I, I will still work hard!"

Ming Yi lowered her head, her face frighteningly red.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; when she interacted with Baimu before, it hadn't been like this.

"Keep it up! I'll find another opportunity to notify you about the subsequent arrangements for the Flame Mouse." Baimu's smile did not diminish.

He was actually quite satisfied with Ming Yi's progress.

From handing over the Flame Mouse to now, even counting loosely, it hasn't been two months yet.

Although the other two evolved earlier, it's not that Ming Yi is slow, but rather those two boys are just faster.

The Flame Mouse evolving a bit slower is no big deal.

He still hasn't figured out how to make a safer Spirit World entrance; if the Flame Mouse grows too fast and directly evolves into a Blaze Beast, what then?

As for the other two, there's no issue; the conditions for them to evolve into the Verdant Wash version have all been met nowadays.

Baimu didn't play favorites, so he naturally went to visit the two male students who joined the Battle Society as well, and learned that the levels of Double Edge Pill and Throw Feather Owl were both close to thirty, with evolution imminent.

"Really fast."

He thought, no wonder they're excellent individuals recommended by the research institute, growing so rapidly, it's not impossible that the simulator could give them an excellent rating.

Of course, progress below level forty being fast is quite normal.

As long as they study diligently, most new trainers, upon obtaining their eighth gym badge, having a level forty Pokémon is no problem.

Continuing to grow above level forty requires effort and luck.

"There are plenty of things to be busy with."

Baimu arrived at the selection site for the Spirit World entrance.

The Spirit World is undoubtedly a more dangerous world; considering student safety, it's best to isolate it from the outside.

He, along with the Multi-Side Phone and Queen Leiguanwang, after discussion, decided to place the location outside the Academy Island—

On a small isolated island about several kilometers away.

The area is roughly equivalent to two large gymnasiums; during low tide it becomes slightly larger, but still very limited.

Baimu plans to bring a derelict cargo ship here and then construct the Spirit World entrance at its lowest part.

Why a derelict cargo ship?

Because the Shiny Gastly said this creates a horror game atmosphere and also makes it convenient for students to come explore, so they don't see just a barren lonely island.

That would be too boring, wouldn't it?

Anyway, when it comes to messing with people, the Shiny Gastly has abundant energy.

Baimu, after consideration, decided to agree with its design.

How important is Pokémon evolution?

We must leave the students with an important memory!

Hmm.

Ming Yi is the designated internal test "player".

The site selection was decided last month, so this time Baimu came over, there was already a broken-down giant cargo ship placed here.

However, due to no one being stationed, many parts of the cargo ship have been occupied by wild marine Pokémon.

Such as flocks occupying the deck and mast, nesting here are the Long-winged Gull and Big-mouth Gull, as well as the Octopus Bucket and Lobster Soldiers in the hold.

Baimu even saw a turtle-foot impersonating coral.

"Are the wild Pokémon species in the waters near Ou Lei really that diverse?" He was somewhat shocked.

The Multi-Side Phone said: "All of them migrated here in the past two years; you also know that Ou Lei used to be barren inland, and the coastline had little food, plus the climate was harsh..."

The three Lugia's movements affecting the continent indirectly impacted the ocean, also reducing natural seabed activity near Ou Lei, making it begin to become habitable.

Following closely after Queen Leiguanwang's arrival, she bestowed abundant food upon the coastal areas.

Indirectly attracting more and more aquatic Pokémon to come here.

As long as there is a way to survive, life will naturally come.

For these wild Pokémon occupying the cargo ship, Baimu also did not directly drive them away, but after negotiating with them, relocated their nests to Academy Island.

Disagree?

If the literary approach fails, only the martial approach remains.

Soon the inside of the cargo ship was cleaned spotless, and the bottom of the hold was similarly cleared out.

"For now, let's just do it this way."

Baimu looked at the spacious and dark environment, feeling it very suitable to exist as a Spirit World entrance, but since this is his first time undertaking such a large project, he needs to think of a safe method.

Immediately, he then returned to Academy Island.

An unexpected guest suddenly arrived for a visit.

"N? How did you get here!"

In the principal's office, Baimu looked at the young man before him, feeling exceptionally surprised, "It really has been a long, long time since we last met!"

"Yes, it's been over a year."

N smiled and nodded.

After Queen Leiguanwang created an environment good enough for Pokemon to live in, he took the members of the new Team Plasma and left.

This departure lasted over a year.

And during this time, he didn't stop rescuing wild Pokemon all over the world; upon seeing that Baimu had become the World Champion, he finally prepared to come back and take a look.

However, he didn't rashly go to the Pokemon Paradise.

After all, Baimu had told him in advance that a new tenant had been drawn there, powerful and extremely hostile to humans.

N's tolerance for Pokemon was extraordinary, so he came to visit Baimu first.

Incidentally, he could also check on how the second-generation members of the new Team Plasma were living here.

What was worth rejoicing over was.

N discovered that bright smiles could be seen on the children's faces, able to tirelessly share their experiences at school with their parents.

And he also heard that Baimu had arranged Pokemon partners for three of them.

"Lord N!"

Accompanied by heavy panting, Mingyi of the three arrived.

Compared to her respect for Baimu, N was undoubtedly Mingyi's faith; it was precisely because of his "encouragement" that Mingyi dared to muster the courage to open a personal Pokeyin account.

Now hearing of his arrival, Mingyi certainly couldn't sit still.

N knew every member of the new Team Plasma like the back of his hand, so naturally he wouldn't forget Mingyi, "Mingyi, you've grown up!"

The familiar gentle smile made Mingyi exceptionally nervous, but upon seeing Baimu, her heart unexpectedly gradually calmed down.

She came to find N without any important matter, just wanting to recount her situation; after finishing, she felt she might have been too self-conscious, that he wouldn't want to hear this at all.

How could the understanding N let her continue internal friction, gently soothing her.

Outside the office.

Tepig and Foongus were angry.

Only because standing before them respectively were "N" and "Mingyi", and they were, based on the words inside the room, winking and making faces, vividly imitating speech and mannerisms.

This made them feel their Trainer had been insulted.

"Dama!"

Foongus was so angry it wanted to hit someone, and flames sprouted on Tepig's back.

Seeing this, "N" and "Mingyi" immediately reverted to their original forms, laughing as they ran off quickly — they were none other than Zorua and Hisuian Zorua, those two little troublemakers.

The fat fox's repressed nature was fully unleashed after the arrival of the like-minded Zorua.

These two guys, relying on the 【Illusion】 Ability, ran around transforming to imitate N and Baimu, enjoying the students' respectful expressions and surprised gazes.

And this unscrupulous behavior was soon sanctioned.

The ones who acted were the Fox-Catching Squad led by Porygon-Z, members including Disciplinary Committee member Taodailang, Herdier, Gible, and Thwackey, plus a trainee Disciplinary Committee member Cubchoo.

Relying on surveillance guidance, they only took ten minutes to successfully catch the two lawbreakers, and with Baimu and N's approval, hung apology signs on their chests and paraded them around to various places as a warning to others.

Cubchoo was their supervisor, making Hisuian Zorua grind its teeth in anger.

Forgetting righteousness for profit!

Despicable villain!

It unilaterally treated Cubchoo as an accomplice, without the slightest awareness that there was fundamentally no cooperative relationship between the two parties.

The parading lasted until night.

Also coming to Oray Academy with N this time were many student parents; Baimu specially arranged a three-way conference, successfully adding some ghostly wails and wolfish howls from students within the campus.

The Oray new generation all fell silent as winter cicadas, afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves.

Clearly, no matter which world, parents' methods for dealing with children are much the same.
