Overcoming It! The Laws of Spacetime—

The things that Team Rainbow Rocket could spy on and research could even radiate and affect an entire city across a collapsing alternate dimension...

Aside from the eighteen primordial tablets that Arceus, the creator god, used to shape the world according to legend, Bai Zhou couldn't think of any other possibility.

The Ghost Slate...

Bai Zhou took a deep breath and threw an appraisal at the jade coffin.

"Ghost Slate: A legendary item!"

really!

As he pondered, Bai Zhou reached out and stroked the patterns carved on the jade coffin.

A soft, pure white light flowed from his palm and slowly poured into the jade coffin.

hum-

The jade coffin emitted a deep resonance.

Immediately afterwards, fine cracks spread out, breaking into countless fragments.

The fragments did not scatter; instead, they were drawn together by an invisible hand, circling and piecing together, eventually collapsing and coalescing into a dark stone slab radiating a deep, mysterious luster, which floated quietly in front of the white boat.

"Just as I thought."

Bai Zhou smiled slightly and reached out to catch the stone slab steadily.

He turned his gaze to Gastly beside him, his expression serious.

"Gastly, would you like to come with me to save those Pokémon suffering from pain?"

"Gah! (Those are all my subjects!)"

Gastly's large face was tense as it nodded vigorously.

Bai Zhou's gaze softened as he gently patted its head and said with a smile:

"Relax, I'm here, everything will be alright."

He gently pressed the Ghost Stone against Gastly.

"Close your eyes, feel the Ghost Stone with your heart, and use it to connect with all the Ghost-type Pokémon that are suffering. I will guide you from behind."

White Boat's plan is to use Gastly as a temporary carrier and psychic hub for the Ghost Stone, connecting all the rampaging Ghost-type Pokémon.

He, through Gastly and the Slate, poured out his Overpower to soothe the restlessness and pain deep within their souls.

Gastly is a special being born from the Ghost Stone, sharing the same origin as the Ghost Stone, and a brief fusion with it will not cause any major problems.

The only cost is that Bai Zhou himself will suffer from mental exhaustion.

"Crack!"

Taking advantage of Bai Zhou's momentary lapse in attention, Gastly suddenly licked his face with its giant tongue. Only when Bai Zhou disgustedly wiped away the drool did Gastly close its eyes with a loud laugh.

Looking at his mischievous child, Bai Zhou could only smile helplessly.

What else can we do?

Just spoil them.

He carefully lifted the closed-eyed Gastly with both hands and gently held it in his arms.

The super-power hidden within his body surged and converged like a river.

After a moment, Bai Zhou no longer hesitated, his breath steady, and he shouted:

"Overcome the laws of spacetime!"

In an instant, a dazzling pure white light erupted from his body, completely enveloping Gastly!

The super-force amplified the immense power of the Ghost Slate, washing over Gastly's body repeatedly before transforming into countless tiny rays of light that burst forth from its body!

Moreover, Gastly's form rapidly expanded and changed within that inexplicable energy, eventually settling into its final shape...

"Gen-ga! (I—that is, the Mandate of Heaven!)"

……

The battlefront at the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

Countless seemingly real yet illusory lines of spacetime, flowing with iridescent light, burst forth without warning from the violently fluctuating spatial barrier!

Ignoring spatial barriers and piercing through the barriers of time, they gently entwine themselves around every raging Ghost-type Pokémon!

The entangled Pokémon froze instantly, and the crimson and chaos churning in its eyes were quickly dispelled by a peaceful force.

Moments later, as if drained of all their strength, they collapsed and fell into a coma.

Zhu Lan was the first to react, staring blankly at the threads of time and space.

"Bai Zhou..."

She murmured softly.

"Is there anything you... can't do?"

Not only Cynthia, but all the trainers on the battlefield stopped what they were doing, staring in awe at the scene before them that seemed like a miracle.

In the dim light, they vaguely saw the silhouette of a human figure and a Gengar...

Time flows on in silence.

When the last rampaging Ghost-type Pokémon collapsed unconscious, the threads of time and space quietly disappeared.

The trainers' pent-up excitement finally erupted, turning into a deafening roar.

"We did it! We did it!"

"You really did it! I love you, long-haired troll!"

"This is our victory! This is our victory!"

"Commander Shirafusa! Champion Cynthia! Professor Oak! Elvenking! And everyone else..."

The cheers eventually coalesced into a resounding shout that echoed through the sky.

"We did it!!!"

At dusk, the sunlight is fragmented yet gentle.

Joy or tears.

In conclusion, they succeeded.

Trainers gradually left the battlefield, and the medical team took over the fight.

Zhu Lan called back her companions, her eyes instinctively searching for a certain figure in the crowd.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, she saw Bai Zhou, who was busy working among the medical staff.

Gastly has evolved into Gengar, and with the help of the Ghost Tablet, it holds the collapsing alternate dimension within the shadows it controls.

The remaining task is to heal the ghost Pokémon and send them back to the peaceful Shadow World.

Noticing Zhu Lan's gaze, Bai Zhou did not stop what he was doing.

There are still too many unconscious Ghost-type Pokémon that need him to purify the residual violent energy within them.

Damn it...

Why did my retirement life turn out like this?!

Was this also included in your calculations?

Arceus!

In fact, Bai Zhou's super-resistance power had already been completely exhausted, and he was only kept from fainting by a stubborn willpower.

He cannot fall down yet.

At this moment, he is the only one here who can dispel the violent energy.

Feeling the gentle energy emanating from his neck, Bai Zhou took a deep breath, patted his face, and walked toward the next Pokémon to be purified.

"Thanks, old buddy."

"snort."

On the collar, the mini Rayquaza twitched extremely slightly.

Meanwhile, Gengar, hidden in the shadows, silently watched all of this, making a silent vow in its heart.

To protect my frail father, I must become stronger!

The setting sun grew increasingly gentle, and twilight deepened.

Bai Zhou couldn't remember how much time had passed; he only knew that it was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer people around him. Finally, he staggered and fell backward.

The imagined pain did not come; it seemed as if someone caught him.

"Professor Oak has just brought over the energy dissipator he made. Apart from the medical staff who are still healing the Pokémon, all the other trainers have been sent away by Gym Leader Anming..."

Zhu Lan gently sat on her side on the ground, carefully resting Bai Zhou's head on her soft lap.

She looked at the young man's tired face, and her tone gradually softened.

What I meant was... rest assured and get some rest.

Bai Zhou did his best to conceal his use of the Superpower, and the medical staff who were nearby did not notice.

but……

The faint light emanating from the necklace on her chest finally confirmed the true nature of that power for Zhu Lan.

That is the supreme power bestowed by Arceus, the creator god, in legend, capable of transcending time and space, connecting the hearts of all things, and reconciling all contradictions and chaos.

Its name is—Superpower.

The legendary super-power, the Rayquaza trainer, the title of savior, an extraordinary sense of responsibility...

How many secrets are you hiding?

For some reason, a smile crept onto Zhu Lan's lips.

The cool moonlight shone through her pale golden hair and fell on Bai Zhou's face.

He inhaled the faint, delicate fragrance at the tip of his nose and slowly closed his eyes, which were already blurred and his pupils dilated.

"Miss Zhulan..."

"Um?"

"Miss Zhulan..."

"Um."

"Miss Zhulan..."

"I'm here, I've always been here."
