Chapter 1122: Chapter 920: The Test of the Twelve Branches!_1
Currently, due to the World Tree and the death of Mew, the World Tree Mystical Realm has completely fused with Mount Everest.
In the future, Senior used her Champion authority, bringing the time-space unknown Fang Yuan to this place.
Even though the World Tree and Mew had died, this area is still the past habitat of Legendary Pokémon, and the China Association's protection over it is very strict.
Poachers and ordinary trainers alike are all forbidden from approaching.
This is for the good of humans as well, because even though the World Tree and Mew are no longer here, nearby there still lie numerous powerful Fossil Spirits, as well as the Trilogy Deity Pillar resting there.
Now, the only one who can communicate with these Fossil Spirits and the three Guardian-grade Trilogy Deity Pillars is the World Tree Guardian, He Xiaomai. If other people dared to approach the remnants of the World Tree, what awaits them might still be endless attacks.
"Roar!!!!!"
"Roar!!!!"
The closer they got to the remnants of the World Tree, the clearer Fang Yuan and the future Senior could hear the roars of the Fossil Spirits, as if threatening them not to proceed any further.
Indeed, these growls meant just that, but it would be quite a loss of face if you tell me not to go forward and I just comply!
Fang Yuan resolutely continued to walk forward.
And the future Senior could only honestly follow.
After all, as another spatial-temporal World Tree Guardian who came forcibly, there shouldn't be any problems... probably.
Fortunately, as Fang Yuan and his companion moved forward, they indeed did not receive any attacks or expulsions from the Pokémon.
However, as they walked, Fang Yuan and his companion confirmed that someone must have given orders to the Pokémon, which is why they could come over so smoothly.
And that person...
Fang Yuan and the future Senior looked towards the woman standing in the distance waiting for them.
She wore a blue battle uniform and held a waveguide scepter made from special minerals. Her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and she emanated an "off-limits to strangers" aura, giving people a strong oppressive feeling.
"Xiao Mai, it's me, Xie Qingyi."
The future Senior obviously knew this woman and promptly took the initiative to speak.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was curiously sizing up the future parallel universe's He Xiaomai. Compared to his impression of He Xiaomai, who wore sports shorts, a sports shirt, tied in a single ponytail and looked youthful and vibrant, this He Xiaomai looked quite mature... in all sorts of ways.
She seemed totally unlike the same person.
"I'm sorry, but I can't take part in the Mewtwo Games. You should leave," He Xiaomai apologized.
"What?"
Xie Qingyi was taken aback.
"Probably before you came, there were trainers from the association who came to invite her to the Mewtwo Games,"
Fang Yuan shrugged, after all, as a World Tree Guardian, she can command the Trilogy Deity Pillars here to some extent.
This is a super strong force, as Guardian Grade Illusion Elves, their power is not something that the Crystal Steelix on the Road of Champions can match.
Within Hua Nation, the only beings that could suppress them are guardians like the Huge Dragonite from Dragon Island.
"You misunderstood, I didn't come here to invite you to the Mewtwo Games," the future Senior shook her head and said.
"Hmm?" He Xiaomai was puzzled, and at the same time, she used her wave-guiding power to sense Xie Qingyi's companion, Fang Yuan, and the Pokémon on his shoulder, wondering who this guy was.
What baffled He Xiaomai was that her wave sensation seemed to be unable to clearly see the specific figure of Fang Yuan and the Pokémon on his shoulder, so vague...
"I've found Celebi," the future Senior said straightforwardly.
"I've returned to three years ago and met the World Tree Dreams that was still alive."
Boom!
The words of the future senior sister directly broke He Xiaomai's defenses. For the blind girl He Xiaomai, Dreams, who had chosen her, taught her how to use the wave-guiding power, and changed the course of her life, was of immense significance to her.
This was also why, after the death of Dreams, she planned to stay here forever, continuing to guard the remnants of the World Tree.
Now, hearing Xie Qingyi say she had met the Dreams from the past timeline that was still alive left He Xiaomai momentarily at a loss for words.
He Xiaomai: "It..."
"It didn't come with me. After hearing about its own future fate, it just hoped that you could move on from the past and start a new life," Fang Yuan said on the side.
"Also, don't worry, the World Tree in that timeline will not run out of energy, and Dreams will be safe."
"So, the guardian of the World Tree in this timeline, do you understand? The World Tree is already dead. Staying here to guard its remnants is not what Dreams wanted to see. The Trilogy Deity Pillar alone is enough." Humans and Pokémon should not be lumped together. He Xiaomai may live up to a hundred years at most, but these Fossil Spirits and the Trilogy Deity Pillar might live for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. It's unnecessary for He Xiaomai to guard this place with them; human society is a much better fit for her life.
"You are..." He Xiaomai fell silent.
"The guardian of the World Tree from another timeline, as well as the mentor from another you in that timeline. In that timeline, it was I who taught you the power of Aura," Fang Yuan smiled.
That was like saying "When you were little, I once held you and fed you," leaving people baffled.
He Xiaomai: ???
"Don't believe it?" Fang Yuan smiled and threw out a keepsake given to him by Dreams – a World Tree energy crystal – and handed it to He Xiaomai, inscribed with wave motion that carried recorded information from the World Tree Dreams.
It was enough to prove Fang Yuan's identity as the World Tree guardian from another timeline.
Receiving the crystal, He Xiaomai subconsciously activated the Aura, and then her expression gradually changed.
At the same time, she also sensed the stranger in front of her emitting a wave-guiding power that was more skilled and more mysterious than hers, a mix of three different energy systems!
......
Meanwhile.
Huaguo Trainer Association Headquarters.
Here, President Wen had convened a meeting of the Twelve Branches.
Aside from the vacant position of the Dog and the Pig who had gone to Hualan Island and been left as a hostage by Mewtwo, everyone else was present.
The primary topic of this meeting of the Twelve Branches was the plan proposed by Kong Hai to find Celebi and track down the Dreams from the past timeline.
This mission fell upon the shoulders of Champion Xie Qingyi. The members didn't hold much hope initially, simply treating it as one of many plans, but to everyone's surprise, Xie Qingyi had sent back a message stating she really found Celebi and traveled back to the past.
Though she didn't manage to bring Dreams with her, she did bring someone who could be called the strongest trainer from another timeline, also a guardian of the World Tree from that timeline.
This person was willing to help Hua Nation overcome its current crisis and join the China Team in the Mewtwo game.
"The strongest trainer from another timeline? It seems inconceivable," Battle God Fu Hei said.
Ma Chenzong added, "So, should we believe this? It feels somewhat unreal."
Jiang Kui: "So, the histories of two timelines are different? Celebi didn't travel through time but parallel universes?"
Xu Yifeng: "Anyway, we should meet this person first."
"Although Xie Qingyi told us he is the strongest trainer from another timeline, I'm sure you all have many doubts,"
"He must be genuinely here to help us, but precisely because of this, we need to verify his true strength."
Listening to the discussions, President Wen, who had been silent, finally said, "Well, let's wait for them to come over. Then, it'll be up to you to have a battle with this trainer named 'Chi'."
"I hope Xie Qingyi hasn't been deceived."
