The power of time and space, if explained in detail, is a very metaphysical concept.
According to the setting, besides the Duo Gods of Time and Space, Palkia and Dialga, those who can use the power of time and space include Arceus, the Creator, and the legendary Hoopa.
As everyone knows, even the Space God Palkia and the Time God Dialga cannot escape the space created by Hoopa, and they can't even dodge the summoning rings.
Just like how the legendary King of Time is constantly being time-stopped, it's incredibly ridiculous.
But besides them, there is another Pokémon that can skillfully use the power of time and space, and it is known and loved by many, possessing the ability to revive and grow plants and trees.
That is Celebi, known as the "God of the Forest."
Furthermore, there isn't just one Celebi; Ash and Professor Oak once encountered one, and there's also the Celebi of Crown City and the Celebi of the Ilex Forest—
Celebi also have a population, or it could be themselves from different times and spaces—
Compared to the Time and Space Duo Dragons, Palkia and Dialga, Celebi can actually use the power of time and space more skillfully.
Take Professor Oak traveling through time, for example. After Ash became friends with the young Professor Oak, the Professor still kept that drawing from his youth, the one of Pikachu and Celebi snuggled together.
The reason for Professor Oak's care for Ash can be seen from this.
Even if Ash doesn't sleep in and gets up early to go to Professor Oak to receive his starter Pokémon, he would still hear those words.
"All the Pokémon have already been taken."
So Ash's partner would only ever be Pikachu, which forms a closed loop.
But what would be the closed loop of his own situation?
Lucas buried his head in deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Lucas looked at the text popping up in front of him, and his previous thoughts were completely thrown to the back of his mind.
[Protecting the Garden: This is the favorite garden of Alice's late grandmother and the garden that Darkrai wishes to protect. It is very grateful to you for helping it protect this picturesque garden that is spring-like all year round. Therefore, Darkrai has sent you a gift.]
[Darkrai's Gift: Darkrai has decided to teach your Pokémon, Gengar, the move it is best at.]
[The Promised Matter: Lugia kept its promise to you and came to Poplar Town at your summons to battle the Time God Dialga and the Space God Palkia. This made it feel incredibly refreshed, and it seems to like you even more now. At the same time, it has sent you a very generous gift.]
[Lugia's Gift: It once found a stone with mysterious power in the depths of the ocean that seems compatible with a certain Pokémon by your side. Therefore, it has given you this mysterious stone as a gift.]
[Latiasite: A mysterious stone that, when held by Latias, allows for Mega Evolution. It doesn't seem to conflict with the Soul Dew?]
[The Collision of Time and Space: Because a certain special and powerful existence is about to awaken, the energy it emits caused the spaces where the Time God Dialga and the Space God Palkia reside to collide. This power also affected Palkia and Dialga, causing them to fight and nearly level Poplar Town to the ground. You joined forces with Lugia, Darkrai, and Latias to stop them and prevent them from destroying Poplar Town. Therefore, they have jointly offered you gifts and blessings.]
[Palkia's Gift: Lucas, clutch the wooden plaque on your chest and shout my name; I will appear by your side immediately to strike once for you.]
[Palkia's Blessing: Unknown]
[Dialga's Gift: Lucas, clutch the wooden plaque on your chest and shout my name in times of danger; I will travel through space to come to your side and strike once for you.]
[Dialga's Blessing: Unknown]
[Lucas, you have an aura very familiar to us, but at this moment, they seem to be in a very uncomfortable state?]
[Do you want to go find them? We can help you — Palkia and Dialga]
[Peaceful and Loving Poplar Town: Under your dedicated protection, Poplar Town has survived the crisis. Poplar Town has sent you an extremely precious gift.]
[Poplar Town's Gift: Poplar Town and the Breeding House have become best friends. From now on, all expenses for the people and Pokémon of the Breeding House in Poplar Town will be footed by Licki-Baron Alberto.]
[Lucas, don't be polite with me — Baron Alberto]
[?]
A question mark popped up before Lucas's eyes, and he became confused as well.
After a long while, another paragraph of text popped up.
[Spear Pillar and the Power of Time and Space: Poplar Town not only left behind the legends and aura of the Duo Gods of Time and Space but also the aura of the God of the Forest, Celebi. Two Celebi once briefly gathered their powers from different times into the current Poplar Town. From now on, Poplar Town may become the primary choice for other Celebi to settle. For Celebi residing in Poplar Town, their ability recovery will be greatly improved, and Poplar Town will be wrapped in the power of time and space, which will effectively heal Celebi's injuries.]
Lucas waited for a moment, and after finding that no more text continued to pop up, he was finally shocked.
What rich rewards.
What is the move Darkrai is best at? It's so hard to guess.
After Dark Pulse, Gengar is going to learn another new move.
When he goes out for battles later, just saying the name of the move will give the opponent a fright.
And there's also Latias's mega stone.
Lucas glanced at the Latias flying beside Cynthia. Speaking of which, is his bond with Latias deep enough to perform Mega Evolution?
He would try it later.
The gifts from Palkia and Dialga are actually to strike once for him?
He was almost drained dry just from commanding Lugia; if he commanded Palkia and Dialga at the same time, would he die on the spot?
"(°A*)
Thinking of this, Lucas shook his head. Forget it, it's much safer to call Lugia next time.
Lugia: ?
As for their blessings, if they're unknown, then so be it.
There will come a day when he knows.
Poplar Town's gift... Baron Alberto will reimburse all his expenses in Poplar Town?
Lucas gasped in shock. Wouldn't that mean he could buy a ton of houses in Poplar Town, rent them out, and just collect rent every day?!
The life of a landlord was something he had always dreamed of. Was it about to come true?
[Correction: ————]
Looking at the wall of text that popped up, the gist of it was that only eating, drinking, and playing would be fully reimbursed.
"See, you're getting impatient again."
Lucas gave a "tch" and said.
[————]
Lucas ignored it and continued looking at another paragraph of text.
On the other side, Baron Alberto, who was dancing, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He quickly turned around but found no one with ill intentions.
"Strange, could I have felt wrong?"
Baron Alberto muttered to himself.
"Does this mean I might see a bunch of Celebi in Poplar Town in the future?"
Lucas said while stroking his chin.
