Chapter 657 - Chapter 172: The Temperature Across Time and Space

The Unown brought him to the Hisui Region?

The so-called Hisui Region is actually the ancient name for the Sinnoh Region, the appearance of the Sinnoh Region in ancient times.

Because the climate and environment at that time were vastly different from the current Sinnoh Region, much like the Alola Region and Galar Region, many Pokémon exhibited differences compared to modern Pokémon.

For example, the Wyrdeer Natsuhiko was currently seeing, and the Braviary he had seen before in Regigigas's Alternate Space.

It's just that Natsuhiko couldn't quite understand.

Although the Unown were powerful, could they really take him from the modern day to the ancient Hisui Region?

This already delved into the realm of time.

Natsuhiko knew the Unown were capable of some spatial tricks, but as for abilities involving time, he was not clear.

Moreover.

Even if he had traversed to the Hisui Region, according to the location of Suiyi Town near Celestial Crown Mountain, he shouldn't have appeared in the snowy region west of Hisui's Celestial Crown Mountain.

It would be more likely to appear in the scorching area east of Celestial Crown Mountain.

It doesn't make sense.

Natsuhiko furrowed his brows tightly.

He stared at the distant Stantlers and Wyrdeers.

Unless...

Natsuhiko glanced at the Togekiss and Latios by his side and suddenly said in a deep voice to Alakazam, "Alakazam, Strong Mental Will!"

"Hudi!"

Alakazam assumed a serious expression and didn't question why Natsuhiko ordered an attack; it simply used its psychic power to lift one of its spoons.

The psychic power gushed and surged, gathering a dark mass of spiritual energy in front.

It swiftly hurled towards the direction of the Stantlers and Wyrdeers.

However, in the next second.

As soon as Alakazam's "Strong Mental Will" touched the Wyrdeer, it was like throwing a stone into a pond causing ripples—the surrounding space began to shimmer with faint waves.

Yet the Wyrdeers, who had been "watching" over here, showed no change in expression.

Indeed.

Natsuhiko's tightly knit eyebrows slowly relaxed.

With this, some things started making sense.

Such as why the Unown would possess the ability to traverse time.

Moreover...

Once again, Natsuhiko looked at Togekiss and Latios.

Why did the two little creatures eat the snow without sensing something?

And furthermore.

Considering Wyrdeer is an explorer and protector, it should have the ability to sense danger; why would it allow the Stantlers to feed here despite being so vigilant?

Previously, these illogical points were subconsciously ignored by Natsuhiko.

But paired with the commotion caused by Alakazam's attack at this moment, everything became clear.

Because.

This place isn't truly the Hisui Region.

But an Illusion Realm created by the Unown!

However.

Quickly, Natsuhiko had another doubt.

Why could Alakazam sense danger?

Sense the existence of the Wyrdeer.

It's very peculiar.

Logically, if the Wyrdeers couldn't sense them, they also shouldn't be able to perceive the Wyrdeers.

This was evidenced by Alakazam's earlier attack.

Could it be...

Natsuhiko turned to Alakazam, "Can you still sense the Wyrdeers?"

Alakazam was equally puzzled, somewhat unsure of the situation.

But upon hearing Natsuhiko's question, after careful sensing, it nodded.

It could still sense them.

Which means.

Natsuhiko looked around, "This isn't a pure Illusion Realm, nor merely a temporal and spatial traversal to the Hisui Region, but... a blurred time-space traversal, a blurred environment, maybe it's more appropriate to use time-space folding?"

Similar to... a dimensional rift?

Dimensional rift.

The area where the Unown live exists within some ancient ruins and dimensional rifts.

Simply put.

The special abilities of the Unown created an Illusion Realm.

Yet due to certain special reasons, the Illusion Realm they created blurred the concept of space and time, causing the past and present times to overlap.

That's why Alakazam could sense the Wyrdeer's presence, and Natsuhiko and others could clearly feel the temperature of the air.

However, such spatial folding is incomplete and unstable, so they can only achieve partial interaction.

Perhaps it's because there aren't enough Unown to create this Illusion Realm, or it might be due to the unique capabilities of a particular Unown.

Because Natsuhiko remembers that besides the twenty-six Unown representing the alphabet, there are two special ones representing "exclamation mark" and "question mark," which possess more unique abilities.

Although ordinary Unown do not have the ability to traverse time, it doesn't mean these two special Unown lack it.

"If..."

Natsuhiko fell into contemplation.

"If it's truly because the number of Unown is insufficient and their power is weak, which results in unstable time-space folding, then does it mean that gathering a large number of Unown, even these two special ones, could genuinely open the path to the Hisui Region?"

This possibility can't be ruled out.

And now the issue at hand is.

How to exit this Illusion Realm?

"Baluya——"

Suddenly.

Behind Natsuhiko, Dragapult's voice rang out.

Oh right, there's also Dragapult.

With Dragapult's prowess, it likely discovered something strange here long ago.

Just saw Dragapult slowly reveal its form.
