What is this kid saying?
Chi Ri was stunned: "You've left me in such a sorry state, yet you say you'll save me?"
A slap followed by a candy—you think you can mess with me like I'm a company employee?
"Yes." Wei Xin admitted without hesitation, squatting down in front of Chi Ri and holding up one finger.
"Look, if I let you operate in Donghuang, you will definitely use the bomb in your hand to forcibly blow up the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum. The negative impact would be immeasurable, and the final sentence would likely be life imprisonment. But I am arresting you in advance. You are guilty of attempted crime, and your punishment can be greatly reduced. You might even regain your freedom after the trial."
"So, I should thank you?" Chi Ri said, frowning.
"You're welcome." Wei Xin scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
You laugh at your mother!
Chi Ri was enraged. "If you hadn't intervened, I wouldn't even have been arrested! Wei Xin, you son of a bitch!!!"
"Let's not worry about those irrelevant things for now."
Wei Xin bent down and removed all the Poké Balls from Chi Ri's waist. After confirming that Chi Ri was unable to resist, he released Brimwyn: "Brimwyn, use Healing Pulse."
Brimwyn swayed, and the pale pink aura emanating from her hair fell on Akari, indicating that Akari's body had recovered somewhat.
Wei Xin put his hand on Chi Ri's shoulder and said earnestly, "Chi Ri, can't you make peace with yourself? Although there are many unpleasant things in this world, there's a saying that goes, 'Tolerating the world's disappointments is to prove that we are extraordinary.'"
Wei Xin's words reminded Chi Ri of something his father had once told him—what a load of rubbish! Old Deng had only taught him all sorts of strange and unusual things and hadn't said anything else to him. Veins bulged on Chi Ri's forehead.
"Are you really going to beat me up and then sit on the ground and talk to me? This isn't some shonen manga. Do you think I'll obediently kneel down, recall all the wrong things I've done, and then reform myself, thanking you profusely?"
"Is that not allowed?" Wei Xin blinked, his face innocent. "Before I hit you, you were a bad person. If you don't clear your name after I hit you, wouldn't you have suffered for nothing?"
Chi Ri thought about it again and realized that it made some sense—what a load of rubbish! Don't you listen to what you're saying?!
He rolled his eyes at Wei Xin and turned his face away: "There's no point in saying more, let's get started."
"No!" Wei Xin said anxiously. "Although I don't care what you think, I might need your help with what I'm going to do later. I don't really want to send you to prison. As long as you admit your sins and give up the idea of creating a new world, we can still cooperate when you get out of prison."
If you reform yourself properly, you can still become a better person. If you're unwilling, I'll have to take you to the kitchen and teach you how to be a better person.
"cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperation!" Wei Xin nodded.
He had a theory that the Reverse World exists independently of the real world and is likely unaffected by Dialga and Palkia. In other words, it is very likely that time and space are disordered, or even that there is no concept of time and space at all.
There is neither going forward nor going backward; or rather, the past, present, and future coexist and influence each other.
If, in the original future, Cynthia entered the Distortion World in search of a new home for humanity, then the future Cynthia might be trapped in the Distortion World for some reason.
In conclusion, it is highly likely that Cynthia was the one who piloted Giratina to attack the two gods of time and space. As for her purpose, it is possible that, like the Sun God, it was to create a new world, a world that cannot be destroyed.
This is also why Wei Xin intentionally kept this from Xilona, preventing her from being exposed to such information.
Who knows what will happen when the current Cynthia and the future Cynthia meet? They could merge, replace each other, or be annihilated. Wei Xin doesn't want to see any of these three scenarios.
Cynthia is the champion, but some problems cannot be solved by a champion.
He loves Cynthia, so he will definitely rescue her, and he must be extremely careful not to make any mistakes.
To verify the hypothesis, and even to enter the Reverse World and resolve this matter, the power of the Galactic Team, especially their research on the Reverse World, is essential.
Putting everything else aside, the Galaxy team is an expert in this area.
Wei Xin needs to cooperate with Chi Ri.
In fact, the moment he learned about the Reversal World from Darkrai, he finalized his plan and immediately prepared to put it into action.
But he needs to ensure that the Sun doesn't retaliate at a crucial moment, which is also an important objective of his actions tonight. He needs the Galactic Team, but not a Galactic Team that is trying to create a new world, so he needs to destroy the Galactic Team's ideals first.
In addition, he also had to do one more thing: help Chi Ri get better and help this brat Chi Ri complete his personality development.
Chi Ri's face hardened: "You mean I'm going to cooperate with the person who sent me to prison? Are you kidding me?"
I, the leader of the Galaxy team, would rather die today, die here, die at your hands, die in prison, than ever shake hands and make peace with you, Wei Xin.
Chi Ri turned his head away without saying a word.
"Really not going to talk anymore?" Wei Xin turned his head and leaned closer to Chi Ri.
"I'm not talking anymore!" Chi Ri turned his head to the other side, his attitude resolute.
"Even if I were to tell you about Rotom?"
"Even if you—what did you just say?"
Chi Ri's expression froze as he recalled the Pokémon that appeared in his childhood, accompanied him through every dark period, and ultimately disappeared without a trace. But he quickly regained his composure: "Rotom isn't a rare Pokémon. The Rotom Company in Padiya sells a huge number of them every year."
"But there was only one Rotom in your childhood."
Upon hearing this, Chi Ri stared at Wei Xin, blinked, his face utterly bewildered, but a fleeting glint appeared in his lifeless eyes: "How did you know? Have you met Rotom?"
But the light in his eyes quickly disappeared: "You couldn't have seen Rotom. You're only nineteen. When Rotom disappeared, you weren't even a fertilized egg. It's probably just hearsay, or telepathy. Maybe you just read my mind and my memories."
God the hell, you can curse my parents, but please don't insult me, okay?
He hadn't expected that Chi Ri would actually have some talent in entertainment.
"Moreover, Rotom can travel through electrical appliances. If it still exists, it will definitely come looking for me, unless it has already disappeared from the world." Akari smiled bitterly, not revealing his final thoughts.
Wei Xin: "————"
Or perhaps Rotom abandoned him as well.
Yes, Red Sun was certain that Rotom's heart, along with the feelings between them, must have disappeared with time.
Nothing in this world is permanent.
Not necessarily. Wei Xin was absolutely certain that his bond with Gardevoir and the others was eternal.
"Actually, there's a third possibility: your Rotom has been kidnapped." Wei Xin revealed a truth that surprised Chi Ri.
"What?!"
Upon hearing Wei Xin's words, Chi Ri's expression instantly sharpened. Stimulated by intense emotions, he coughed twice, and when he raised his head again, a light appeared in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" Chi Ri asked anxiously.
"I'm 99% sure."
Hearing Wei Xin's words, the light in Chi Ri's eyes became even brighter. Only then did Wei Xin notice that what was in his eyes was not hope, not enlightenment, but fire. In a fit of shock and anger, the only light of his childhood returned to Chi Ri's heart and burned fiercely on the dry branches.
The thought of his childhood friend being imprisoned and spending countless lonely nights like himself ignited his resentment and anger, even burning away his hatred and suspicion towards Wei Xin, leaving only his longing, concern, and anxiety for Rotom. As his heart opened, these feelings became uncontrollable.
It turns out that even the heartless and disillusioned Chi Ri has things he cares about.
"Tell me everything you know." Chi Ri squinted, his gaze sharp.
Seeing that Chi Ri had regained his fighting spirit, Wei Xin smiled with satisfaction: "Let me think about where I should start talking to you."
Afterwards, Wei Xin told Chi Ri about his speculations about Rotom, based on the information and Easter eggs from the second playthrough of the original Platinum series games.
In the study of the Forest Mansion, there is information that resembles Rotom. Rotom once appeared in the Forest Mansion in Sinnoh and took away the motor that was placed in the mansion.
In Rotom's room at the Galactic Team's Pathé Building, there are appliances related to Rotom's various forms, as well as two notebooks. One notebook was written by Hades and records the characteristics of Rotom's forms. The other notebook, whose author is unknown, records the experience of a red-haired boy meeting Rotom.
While a boy was looking for his toy robot that he had forgotten where he put, a mysterious Pokémon flew out of the lawnmower's motor. The boy and the Pokémon hit it off immediately and quickly became friends. The boy named the mysterious Pokémon Rotom and became inseparable from it, sharing a deep connection.
One day, the boy, on a whim, played a prank on Rotom. Rotom was startled and emitted a strong electric current, knocking the boy unconscious.
When the boy woke up, Rotom was no longer by his side. The boy felt extremely guilty and searched everywhere for Rotom's whereabouts. In a garbage dump, the boy found the robot toy he used to own. Rotom was hiding inside the toy. After their separation and reunion, they decided to never be apart again.
An old man can be found in a house on Route 228. According to his description, he once adopted his grandson and gave him a strict, mechanized education. Based on the information, this old man is likely Akari's grandfather. An old woman in Binhai City tells us that there was once a child named Akari who was withdrawn and loved machines.
Chi Ri is also an engineering student.
According to the dialogue between Team Rainbow Rocket's Red Sun in Sun and Moon, we can learn that Red Sun has special feelings for Rotom, a kind of "red spot" or "white moonlight." A model kit enthusiast has encountered a Gundam that can move and talk, and an otaku has encountered a figure that can move and have thoughts. However, there is no information available to investigate why Red Sun and Rotom separated.
What a tragic couple!
"In conclusion, the one who took Rotom from you is most likely Pluto."
Chi Ri lowered his gaze, turning his face to the side. Although he didn't know when Wei Xin had investigated the information, there was no doubt that Wei Xin was right about everything, whether it was his childhood, his background, or his relationship with Rotom. He even suspected that Wei Xin was spying on him from somewhere.
But that's not important. Chi Ri began to think, analyzing aloud, "Pluto—when I returned home that year, I found that my notebook had been rummaged through. I had a big fight with my parents afterward, but they didn't seem to know anything about the notebook and Rotom. Otherwise, they would have taken Rotom away long ago."
"After some time, my notes suddenly disappeared, and shortly after that, Rotom also disappeared, but by then my parents had already passed away, and I had overlooked someone."
"Pluto, he was a researcher at the company at the time, and also my mentor. He cultivated my interest and talent in mechanics."
"Any other details?" Wei Xin asked.
"Yes, after Rotom disappeared for a while, Pluto resigned from the company quite arrogantly, and then returned looking utterly defeated," said Akari.
"I see." Wei Xin thought for a moment and put everything together.
"If my reasoning is correct, your parents probably didn't find out about what happened between you and Rotom. The one who messed with your notebook was actually Pluto. After discovering Rotom's potential value, he wanted to keep Rotom for himself and took the opportunity to kidnap Rotom for research. But later, for some reason, his business failed and he had to slink back to the company."
"As for the reason—" Wei Xin took out his phone, "Rotom, help me search for the founding date of PadiaRotom Corporation, and the date when Rotom's mobile phone patent was applied for."
"Yes, my lord!"
A moment later, a piece of data appeared on Rotom's screen, and Chi Ri's eyes widened: "That's right, it was at this time. Before Pluto resigned, Rotom's patent for mobile phones was taken down, and after he returned, Padia's Rotom Mobile Company officially went public."
"So the truth is simple: Pluto initially planned to take Rotom for himself and use it to start a business, but he was too late and could only slink back in disgrace. Because he was ashamed to face you, he chose to imprison Rotom."
"Pluto!"
Knowing the truth, Chi Ri clenched his fists, uprooted the weeds on the ground, gritted his teeth, and his face was contorted with rage. Rotom had never abandoned him; it was all Pluto's fault. If it weren't for him, his childhood would have turned into a stinking muddy mess. If it weren't for him, he and Rotom would never have had to separate.
Pokémon used in experiments usually suffer great pain and even have their lifespans significantly shortened. Red Sun couldn't believe what kind of treatment Rotom had received from Pluto.
"That's absolutely vicious, Rotom!!" Wei Xin's Rotom clenched his fists, indignant on behalf of Chi Ri.
"I'm going to kill him!"
Like a shut-in returning to his dorm and discovering that his cherished silicone doll has been defiled by his roommate, Chi Ri's chest is filled with the fury of revenge.
I was just kidding, I'm not that calm.
"Don't rush," Wei Xin advised. "We're just speculating, we don't have any evidence yet. The most important thing is to get Pluto to reveal Rotom's location."
"What's your plan?"
"Hehe," Wei Xin grinned mischievously, pulled a small bottle from his pocket, which still contained about half a bottle of clear liquid, and waved it in front of Chi Ri's eyes. "This is truth serum. Just three drops will make everyone reveal their darkest secrets."
Wei Xin handed the truth serum to Chi Ri.
You go down to Pluto and make him honestly reveal all the information he knows. The Imperial Army said there will be a huge reward.
Yoshi!
Chi Ri stared at the liquid inside, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How ironic. It was clearly this liquid that caused me to end up in this state, but now I have to rely on it to find the truth."
"Just tell me if you're going to do it or not." Wei Xin got up, removed his hand from the sleeping Pachilis, and stretched it out in front of Chi Ri.
"Damn it!" Chi Ri grabbed Wei Xin's hand firmly without further ado. After getting up, he didn't even bother to clean the mud and leaves off his body, disregarding his own dignity. "Pluto should be observing the mausoleum from the camp above the First Emperor's Mausoleum right now. How do we get there?"
Wei Xin snapped his fingers, and a portal appeared in the forest, leading to the camp above the tomb: "Let's walk there."
"Speaking of which, I have a question," Wei Xin suddenly asked as he stepped through the portal, "Weren't you red-haired before? How come you have blue hair now?"
Could it be that the sun used to shine, but now it doesn't?
