"Here, everyone, these are your Focus Sashes!"

In the backyard, Ash took out six long, strip-like objects, orange on the outside and white on the inside, and handed them to the six Pokémon.

Focus Sash (Gold Coin Doubled Version): If brought to 1 HP by a single attack while at full HP, it will leave you with 1 HP and prevent fainting. It is a one-time use item.

Ash, feeling a bit pained, gestured for them to tie the sashes around their heads.

Although a bit expensive, the 'Money-Grabbing' version of the Focus Sash could ensure that they wouldn't be instantly knocked out by the Spatial-Temporal Dragon Duo while at full health.

To ensure the safety of his Pokémon, the money that needed to be spent still had to be spent, even though these alone cost nearly 1.8 Suicune in gold coin value.

At the same time, he walked over to Aerodactyl, Pidgeot, and Suicune, the three Pokémon with less dexterous limbs, and thoughtfully tied the Focus Sashes for them.

"Woo~ (Thank you, Hero-sama)"

"Roar~ (Thank you for your grace)"

Hero-sama? This Suicune is quite interesting, why is it acting like this!

Ash glanced unexpectedly at Suicune, who had a sapphire on its forehead, but then remembering the 'Hero of the Rainbow' identity in the movie "I Choose You!",

He paused slightly and didn't think much about Suicune's title.

He then looked at the poor Aerodactyl, originally a majestic ancient overlord, now a well-behaved, exemplary modern-day Pokémon.

The contrast was truly immense.

According to Sceptile, this guy often talked back, roaring at Oak's Dragonite, which resulted in a beating every day.

Although there were some other reasons interspersed in between, eventually, this guy finally understood and became this well-behaved baby.

"Come, Aerodactyl, this is my gift to you!"

Ash held a wrist-type ornament in his hand, inlaid with a jewel bearing colorful patterns, which was clearly Aerodactyl's mega stone.

"Roar~"

Aerodactyl's eyes instantly widened, as it could feel its body's overflowing desire for this stone, and tears of longing involuntarily appeared at the corners of its mouth.

It stood obediently in front of Ash, letting him tie the wristband onto its body.

"Alright!"

He gently patted Aerodactyl's heavy wings, indicating that the obedient fellow in front of him could now move.

"Roar~ (Thank you, Boss)"

Carefully examining the mega stone on its wrist, Aerodactyl's face lit up with joy, and it didn't forget to thank Ash for his timely help.

"You're welcome!" Ash responded with a smile to Aerodactyl, quickly playing along with Oak, who was playing the bad cop at the research institute.

After all, this was his chance to gain favor. Although it couldn't reach the level of Mega Evolution, it was still a great opportunity to improve his favorability, and he couldn't easily let it go.

After paying extra attention to Aerodactyl and explaining some precautions to the other Pokémon, he returned them all to their Poké Balls and prepared to go back and rest with Pikachu to prepare for the next day.

...

Early in the morning, after the three had washed up and eaten breakfast, they visited the famous Time-Space Tower under the guidance of Alice, their top tour guide.

Also accompanying them was Alice's childhood friend, Anthony.

The group arrived at the largest musical instrument in this world—the Time-Space Tower—ready to explore its interior.

By the way, the Contests are also held in the Time-Space Tower.

After all, the construction history of the Time-Space Tower is very special, mainly referencing the two legendary Pokémon, Dialga, the God of Time, and Palkia, the God of Space.

Combining some of their external features, the largest musical instrument in this world was built.

At the same time, according to Alice's introduction, the builder of the Time-Space Tower—the genius architect Gaudi—was also Anthony's ancestor.

"That's incredible!" Dawn exclaimed in an extremely incredulous tone as she listened to Alice's introduction.

After all, this was a building several hundred meters high. Although a large part of it consisted of two tall towers connected by spiral staircases, such a massive building actually existed as a musical instrument.

"Actually, this is a creation built by a genius designer for the peaceful coexistence of humans and Pokémon!"

The group arrived at the top of the tower via Alice's hot air balloon, and Alice continued to introduce tirelessly.

At the same time, she held a music disc in her hand and placed it into a slot in front of her designed to hold discs.

On the other side, Anthony began to operate the equipment skillfully. With everything ready, he pulled down the lever switch nearby.

"Left seven notes, in fire, in water, in grass, in forest, in earth, in clouds, in Su no Ni no Input Iito…"

Soon, the Time-Space Tower, the largest musical instrument, began to activate, and a cheerful melody emanated from above, eventually spreading throughout Baiyang Town.

"How amazing!" Dawn exclaimed again as the music continuously flowed into her ears.

"The creator of the Time-Space Tower, Gaudi, is absolutely an unparalleled architectural genius!" Even Brock couldn't help but look around and praise.

Ash was also filled with emotion about this, because this building, named the Time-Space Tower, could truly be described as a masterpiece of ingenious craftsmanship!

With his limited cultural knowledge, he could only use two words to praise it.

It's just…

The only drawback was that this genius architect apparently hadn't considered what to do if the elevator broke down?

Recently in the plot, these three climbed stairs until they were exhausted, only reaching the top floor at the most crucial moment to release Oracion.

After admiring the world's largest musical instrument, they took the hot air balloon back down to the base of the Time-Space Tower.

However, just as they jumped out of the hot air balloon's basket, a massive burst of purplish-pink energy suddenly erupted from above, instantly enveloping the sky above Baiyang Town.

The terrifying energy created a sense of oppression, accompanied by spatial distortion, and the entire City seemed to undergo an unknown transformation.

"Get out!"

Darkrai, with its pitch-black body, instantly appeared and roared loudly towards the sky.

"Has it finally come?"

Seeing this scene, Ash immediately disrupted the changes.

Palkia's Aura successfully concealed itself within this City, and at the same time, this space seemed to have shifted, with no other terrain or landscape detectable nearby.

"Hmph, you're the one who should get out! Hyper Beam!"

The arrogant Baron appeared once again, with the Lickilicky that had been easily defeated last time standing in front of him.

"Idiot!"

Such a foolish act made him unable to help but frown and shout, appearing at this moment would only provoke the other party outright.

"Get out!"

From the even more aggressive tone, it seemed that the Darkrai in front of him was completely enraged. It raised both hands high in the air, deeply condensing a massive, pitch-black Energy Ball.

Finally, it shot out with a roar, transforming into countless miniature energy light points, constantly firing towards the nearby onlookers and Pokémon.

Expelling the irrelevant personnel from the area.
