Chapter 855: The Pilgrimage Plan for the Islands_1

As Fang Yuan arrived at the Many Island Secret Realm.

One of the four major islands, Melemele Island, above the jungle.

A Pokémon with one half of a golden shell on each hand and a black body suddenly diverted its gaze from Melemele Island to the distance.

On Ula'ula Island, within a ruin, a black and red Pokémon also started gazing into the distance.

On Akala Island, a pink Pokémon, on Poni Island, a purple Pokémon, both flew into the sky. At this moment, the Island Protectors of the four major islands of the Many Island Secret Realm all sensed the Wave Guide breath of the World Tree, revealing a look of extreme surprise.

Shortly after, they simultaneously flew towards the source of that disturbance.

......

On an unnamed small island.

Eevee and Victini were building sand castles.

Meanwhile, Rotom the smartphone was constantly taking pictures, recording data about this small island.

This small island didn't have any impressive Pokémon, not even an Overlord Spirit, so there wasn't much to explore, which is why Fang Yuan asked Shang Ren and the others to temporarily head to the larger islands.

As for Fang Yuan himself, he stayed here, waiting for the Island Protectors to appear.

"There aren't many traces of human civilization here either,"

Fang Yuan, sitting on a rock waiting for the Island Protector, was pondering some things.

Initially, Dream mentioned that the Secret Realm appeared because the time-space of the Pokémon World collapsed.

But as to the reason for the collapse, Dream wasn't very clear.

However, Dream speculated that it might have been an attempt to merge two time-spaces that caused the collapse.

This point, Fang Yuan didn't quite understand at first, but later felt it might be exactly the case.

Because, as far as Fang Yuan knew, while there was human civilization in the ancient Pokémon World, it ultimately perished in natural disasters, never developing into modern times.

This is why most Secret Realms with human-constructed ruins had no humans present.

However, the existence of man-made Pokémon like 3D Dragon puzzled Fang Yuan, as these were clearly modern man-made Pokémon, so how could they appear in a Pokémon World that only had ancient human civilization?

Therefore, Dream's speculation was very likely to be true.

Their Pokémon World had collapsed due to the partial fusion of two different time-spaces.

The main body of the time-space collapse was a Pokémon World with only ancient human civilization.

As for the other time-space, the extent of its collapse was unknown.

So some modern products of civilization were likely to be intermingled during the merger.

"A Pokémon World where humans went extinct without developing sounds terrifying, completely different from the history in the animation... It must be a parallel world of the animated time-space."

"It's just not clear whether the time-space collapse due to the space-time merger was a natural disaster or a man-made calamity."

Fang Yuan guessed it was likely a natural disaster.

It could have been caused by a fight between Legendary Pokémon.

The possibility of it being a man-made calamity was not great.

Forget it, why worry so much.

.........

"Kapu~~~" "Nana~~" "Bimi~~~" "Chirp chirp~~~~"

After a short while.

The Four Island Guardian Deities arrived.

Eevee and Victini stopped building sand castles.

Smartphone Rotom also stopped taking photos.

Including Fang Yuan, they all looked up together towards the four powerful and imposing Pokémon in the sky.

"Hello," Fang Yuan slowly stood up and greeted them.

Upon sensing the potent force of the Kapu family, Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

These four were definitely of Legendary combat power, surpassing the Guardian God level.

Although they were only island gods, they were legitimate Legendary Pokémon.

"Kapu~~~ (Hello, World Tree Guardian),"

Among the Island Protectors, Tapu Koko was the first to fly out and greeted Fang Yuan and the others.

It revealed their identities right away!

Wuhu~~ taking off!!!

Seeing Tapu Koko give such face, Fang Yuan's impression of the capricious Dream improved significantly.

It seems Dream had some clout after all!

Worthy of being a Pokémon symbiotic with the World Tree.

Fang Yuan could feel the Kapus' attitude was very friendly.

"Nana~~"

The next second, Tapu Lele also flew forward, inquiring about the purpose of Fang Yuan's visit here.

"It's like this,"

Fang Yuan cut straight to the chase and began explaining.

He relayed to the Island Protectors everything Dream told him, including that Earth's space might also experience a time-space collapse.

Although they were Legendary Pokémon, such matters were not as clear to the Island Protectors as they were to Dream.

After all, they were secluded and not as aware of the planetary-scale effects as the World Tree Dreams, Arceus, or the Z God.

"Kapu~~" "Nana~~" "Bimi~~" "Chirp chirp~~"

As Fang Yuan laid out the consequences of the time-space collapse, the expressions of the four Island Protectors gradually grew serious.

This is bad.

Moving houses, yet unrest persists... Disasters following one after another?

"I am currently entrusted by Dream to find a solution to the time-space collapse, but since my power is too weak, Dream recommended that I come here and train under you all," Fang Yuan said.

He looked eagerly at the four guardians, hoping for their guidance.

Although secluded, the Island Protectors of Alola had a connection with the Brilliant God through ancient battles, gaining some of its power.

The Z-Moves they created were almost unimaginably powerful, ranking among the top in the whole Pokémon World.

In teaching Trainers how to cultivate their abilities, the Island Protectors would definitely rank among the top among Legendary Pokémon.

After finishing his words, Fang Yuan raised his arm, showing the Island Protectors the bracelet he had made from a Brilliant Stone.

At this moment, the Guardians clearly understood Fang Yuan's intention.

To learn Z-Moves!

Tapu Koko~~~ ("What should we do?")

Nana~~ ("Hmm.")

Bwoo~~~ ("Hmm.")

Bimi~~~ ("Hmm.")

Tapu Koko: ...Then let's teach him.

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, the four Guardians swiftly flew away a little, putting their heads together and chattering in discussion.

In the end, the decision was made.

Tapu Koko once again flew forward, nodding solemnly towards Fang Yuan.

Since Fang Yuan was chosen by the World Tree as the Trainer to save the world, then they, who would soon settle in this world, had the responsibility to contribute by nurturing Fang Yuan.

This wasn't too much trouble for them because they had descended with the intention of cultivating some native power anyway.

Fang Yuan being the first to seek them out was perfect for a practice run.

"I am immensely grateful." Fang Yuan was overjoyed after the Guardians agreed to teach him.

I'm going to be invincible!!

Would the Guardians give him a complete set of Z Pure Crystals?

Just thinking about it was exciting.

"Bwoo!!" "Bimi~~" "Rotom~!"

At that moment, although Eevee, Victini, and Rotom didn't understand the specifics, following Fang Yuan and expressing gratitude was the right thing to do.

Fang Yuan never found himself at a disadvantage.

.........

As a World Tree Guardian, the four Island Protectors had always treated Fang Yuan as an equal lifeform.

After discussing business, Fang Yuan and the Guardians started chatting about everyday matters.

For example, what plans did the Guardians have after the Secret location thoroughly merged with Earth?

"Kapu~~"

At this point, Tapu Koko looked up at the sky, worried.

The other three Kapu looked at Fang Yuan with concerned eyes as well.

Speaking of which... not only Fang Yuan was facing a catastrophe, but they were also preparing for a certain disaster

Perhaps the disaster they were preparing for wasn't as critical as the one Fang Yuan was addressing, but it was still a major catastrophe that could affect the world.

If the disaster were to come, the Many Island Secret Realm would be the first to face it.

Although they had already left their original space and time.

Still, Tapu Koko and the others could still sense that this timespace was threatened by the Hole of Ultimacy.

The Hole of Ultimacy was an unstable spacetime passage connecting the Pokémon World with the Ultimate Space and currently appeared only in the many-island region.

In the Ultimate Space, there lived Ultra Beasts whose species ability was not inferior to that of Legendary Pokémon.

For the Kapu family, if the Ultra Beasts were to fully descend, the Alola archipelago could very well be destroyed.

So, upon their descent to Earth, they planned to cultivate a group of native power to help them resist the Ultra Beasts from the Ultimate Space.

They would grant these human Trainers the opportunity to learn Z power, allowing them to possess the skills to contend with the Ultra Beasts.

It could be said, even if Fang Yuan weren't a World Tree Guardian, if he had earned the Guardian's approval, they would still teach the Z-Moves.

"A threat from Ultra Beasts?"

Fang Yuan pondered; the descent of Ultra Beasts did indeed seem to be part of ZI Wan's prophecies.

But as Dream had said, there was no need to worry too much.

Because there were Pokémon capable of countering them.

Now, it seemed that these were the Island Protectors of the Many Island Secret Realm.

They were prepared to widespread the Z-Moves on Earth and train a group of Trainers to resist the Ultra Beasts, which almost perfectly matched Fang Yuan's plan to initiate the third wave of Trainer enhancement to withstand disasters.

Next.

The Guardians shared their thoughts with Fang Yuan.

They planned to pick out a Trainer from among the humans entering the Many Island Secret Realm to become their spokespeople, the Island King, the Queen of the Island, and teach them how to use Z-Moves.

Afterwards.

They would ask the Island Kings and Overlord Spirits to set up major tests, to challenge more Trainers.

To pass on Z-Moves, through the Island Kings, to those Trainers who were wise, strong and had the right temperament.

This plan, they intended to call it: Island Pilgrimage.

After the Island Pilgrimage went on for some time, more Trainers would stand guard over these islands.

"The Island Pilgrimage, huh... That's a great plan!"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, wondering which four lucky individuals could become the Island Kings deemed worthy by the Guardians.

He wasn't so fortunate because he was already a Guardian of the World Tree, not likely to mix with other Pokémon.

Besides, as an Island King, he would have to stay here and continuously act as an examiner, which would annoy Fang Yuan to no end.

"Do you need my help?"

"For your plan, you will probably need a lot of publicity," he continued.

"My status in human society is very high, and if I publish the Z-Moves in paper form and the special circumstances of the Many Island Secret Realm, countless talented Trainers will flock to the Many Island Secret Realm to participate in the trials."

"Kapu~~~" "Nana~~" "Bwoo~~~" "Bimi~~~~"

All four Island Guardian Deities nodded together, publicity was indeed a big problem and something that had to be done.

If Fang Yuan was willing to help, that would be the best possible scenario.

"Then leave it to me," Fang Yuan thought to himself. He had long wanted to publish a paper on Z-Moves and have them become as widespread as Mega Evolution. Now, with the support of the Guardians, this was a good opportunity.
