Modern day, Sinnoh region, Binhai City, March 7th, night.
A silver moon hangs high in the sky, its reflection rising and falling with the tide on the sea level.
Binhai City is brightly lit and bustling. Even though it is already late at night, it is difficult to be quiet. There are countless people living a colorful nightlife in this metropolis, one of the best in the Sinnoh region. It is full of things that are difficult to see in the Xicui area. It’s noisy, lively and brilliant, but it also carries a strong atmosphere of fireworks.
In a wealthy area, there is a large seaside villa, with only a few rooms shining with warm yellow lights through the windows.
In a dark room, Cattleya is wearing a thin nightgown, her blond hair is spread on the bed, her delicate eyebrows are closed, and her beautiful face is in the moonlight shining through the window, making people involuntarily think of her. To the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.
Suddenly, the window was clearly closed, but the curtains were inexplicably lifted, as if a breeze was blowing.
Cattleya's thin eyelashes swayed slightly, and she immediately opened her almond-shaped eyes. Her blue eyes were full of deep exhaustion and a little urgency.
She pursed her soft lips, then directly lifted the quilt, rolled over and got out of bed, but fell weakly to the ground with a soft 'bang' sound.
Cattleya held the luxurious carpet with both hands, propped herself up slightly, and couldn't help but gasp, her soft blond hair hanging down, covering the side of her face.
She has always been strong and reliable, but now she seems so weak...
Although there was a part of the reason, it was not because she handed herself over to Xu Qiansu... Cattleya's vast mental power was completely exhausted at this moment.
Cattleya has only experienced this feeling twice in her life.
Once, it was her battle with Kyurem.
Once, she traveled across time and space to Xicui...
Now, it's the third time.
As a person with superpowers, mental power is something more familiar than hands and feet. Now it does not exist at all. For Cattleya, she cannot adapt to it at all, and she can even barely stand.
But she still slowly got up from the carpet, looked around, moved, and came to her dressing table, where... there were six Poké Balls.
Cattleya's Pokémon.
She held the table with one hand to prop herself up, picked up one of them with the other, and pressed the button. The blue light flashed, and a Pokémon wearing a gothic black dress, who looked like a human girl like Gardevoir, appeared in front of her.
Miss Gothic, the super-powered Pokémon, Cattleya's trump card.
"Chew..." Miss Goethe opened her eyes and saw Cattleya. Her face changed instantly and she quickly helped her up... Miss Goethe had never seen her trainer look so weak.
Cattleya leaned on Miss Goethe's arms and panted lightly. It seemed that just walking to the dressing table and picking up the Poké Ball had already consumed a lot of her energy.
"Clothes..." She pursed her lips and whispered.
Miss Goethe was slightly startled, and with a wave of her hand, a white lady's windbreaker was draped over Cattleya's delicate body, and was immediately buttoned up by the fluctuation of her mental power.
"Walk……"
"Chew na?"
Miss Goethe almost cried when she heard this. She thought, you are so weak, where else do you want to go?
But Miss Goethe always listened to Cattleya.
The window was wide open, and the evening breeze blew in. Miss Goethe picked up Cattleya, jumped up, and disappeared into the night sky.
"Zhulan and Ma Li are in the villa?" Miss Goethe hugged Cattleya and flew past her under the silver moon. The evening breeze ruffled Cattleya's long golden hair and she asked in a low voice.
Cattleya, who cherished Zhulan the most, did not inform Zhulan as soon as she returned to modern times. Instead, she asked as if she only remembered it at this moment.
"Miss Zhulan is still in the villa, but who is Ma Li? Miss Zhulan is the only one in the villa."
Miss Goethe's voice sounded from Cattleya's heart.
After hearing this, Cattleya stopped talking. Where did Ma Li go and what does it have to do with her? Besides, Miss Goethe doesn't know Ma Li either, so asking her is in vain.
"Go there." Cattleya nodded slightly and pointed in a direction.
Miss Goethe didn't ask any more questions and just listened to Cattleya's words... She had never seen her trainer look so anxious, so she didn't dare to slack off for fear of delaying something.
…
At first, Cattleya borrowed Ma Li's purple-black pendant and used her spiritual body to come to Xicui. Now, she just used the same method to let Xu Qiansu pass through the white-gold pendant and also used her spiritual body to come to Xicui. .
There were many difficulties, but Cattleya overcame them one by one.
If you want to use the platinum pendant, you must first be able to control your own mental power.
And Xu Qiansu is not a person with superpowers, and his mental power is not strong, and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to find out his mental power and enter the platinum pendant... But in the past three years, Cattleya visited famous superpowers and learned from them in order to deal with Kyurem. learned a lot.
One of them is a method secretly developed by the regional alliance, which allows superpower users to transfer part of their mental power to ordinary people, so that laymen can also use superpowers. However, this method has many shortcomings.
For example, the brains of ordinary people simply cannot bear the tyrannical mental power.
For example, even if ordinary people are not burned into fools by the tyrannical mental power, they will still have superpowers and runaway and other out-of-control phenomena. Therefore, it takes a long time and systematic training before they can barely use it.
For example, mental power also has a rejection reaction. Once it remains in the body of ordinary people for too long, it will only cause various problems.
This method is actually not feasible at all. However, in order to have more superpowers, the alliance has never given up research for many years. It has found a way to solve the third point... that is, the yin and yang are in harmony, and water and milk are in harmony. In this way, it can barely solve the problem of elimination. Abnormal reaction.
Cattleya asked herself that she would never be able to commit to any man in her life, so she wouldn't need it, but unfortunately she was a genius. Even if she didn't intend to use it or learn it, she could master it as long as she knew the principles... and Kyurem had originally She was given a way to separate her mental power so that she could control it.
Although Cattleya separated her mental power essentially for the purpose of domination, she still had experience.
So she succeeded.
The third point is that rejection can be solved through the combination of yin and yang.
Secondly, Xu Qiansu does not need training to master superpowers. After all, he only needs to put his mental power into the platinum pendant. Cattleya did this for him, so Xu Qiansu doesn't need to worry about anything.
As for the first point... Cattleya sealed her spiritual power in Xu Qiansu's sea of consciousness, but the seal was not foolproof. As long as Xu Qiansu could realize that Cattleya's spiritual power was in his sea of consciousness, the seal would be broken... Xu Qiansu's brain would be burned out by Cattleya's tyrannical mental power.
How can the mental power that has troubled Cattleya for more than ten years be freely possessed by an ordinary person like Xu Qiansu?
Maybe he is the Rainbow Hero chosen by the Phoenix King, and he is also the Wave Guide... Xu Qiansu is already extraordinary, maybe he can survive?
But Cattleya would never gamble.
So she sealed Xu Qiansu's memory...
Xu Qiansu no longer remembers what Cattleya did with him. He only remembers that he asked Cattleya for help, and then his vision went dark and he appeared inside the carriage.
In addition, Cattleya also arranged a few points.
For example, the platinum pendant leads to heaven, but Xu Qiansu himself has no memory of heaven. This is because Cattleya used the power of the purple pendant to intercept him on his way to heaven and send him directly to Xi Cui. ...This is to prevent Xu Qiansu from coming into contact with Arceus.
In other words, the platinum pendant is just a medium that separates Xu Qiansu's soul and body. In fact, he is still taking the path of reversing the world.
For example, Xu Qiansu returned to the Xicui area with a spiritual body that was exactly the same as the original Cattleya, and could not bring any modern objects with her.
In other words, Xu Qiansu's clothes, Poke Ball, backpack, mobile phone, and even body are all protected by Cattleya. The only things he can bring are things that exist in the Xicui area itself, namely the Flute of the God, the Magic Slate, and Platinum Pendant, with Zoroa.
Other than that, Xu Qiansu had nothing, even the clothes were transformed by Cattleya in advance using her mental power.
At the same time, in order to prevent Xu Qiansu from becoming suspicious and discovering something that would cause his mental power to break through the seal, Cattleya also faked his mental body as much as possible to look like an ordinary person, ensuring that Xu Qiansu himself did not know that he was a mental body.
The most important thing is that in order to prevent Xu Qiansu from seeking help from Arceus, Cattleya has even paved his way back.
Using Cattleya's mental power as a bridge, the power of the purple pendant as a medium, and Xu Qiansu's body as a guide, a one-month deadline was set. After one month, Xu Qiansu's mental body would dissipate in the Xicui area. Wrapped by Cattleya's spiritual power, he returned to his current body... In other words, although Xu Qiansu stayed in the Xicui area for a month, it was still March 7th when he came back... which is now.
At the same time, in order to ensure that Xu Qiansu would not die in the reverse world, Cattleya gave 70% of her mental power to him... and gave it to him permanently, and could never take it back again.
Such a huge and vast mental power is enough for Xu Qiansu to live in the Xicui area for more than several years. The reason why he is only allowed to stay for a month is purely because the body and soul cannot be separated for too long.
Even Cattleya, who has not been in contact with her body for more than half a month now, is still feeling a lot of discomfort... One month is already the limit.
Cattleya arranged for Xu Qiansu to return to modern times with her on March 4th, with the intention of mitigating Xu Qiansu's side effects.
Cattleya was able to do this thanks to the chaos of time and space in the reverse world.
But it sounds easy to say, but how difficult it is to implement. Only Cattleya herself knows that even with the help of a treasure like the magic stone slab, Cattleya has completely exhausted her mental power and even damaged her roots. If she wants to fully recover, I don’t know how long it will take, and it will take a few months to be conservative.
A few months doesn't sound like a long time, but after Cattleya's battle with Kyurem, she only recovered for a week before returning to normal. This shows how much this operation took a toll on Cattleya.
What's more, in order to control her superpowers, Cattleya had already lost half of her mental power by reducing the upper limit. Now she has given 70% to Xu Qiansu... As a superpower, her strength is far inferior to what it used to be. .
Cattleya had done everything she could for Xu Qiansu without letting Xu Qiansu worry in the least... She had indeed done what she often said.
Xu Qiansu didn't need to rely on anyone, he only needed to rely on Cattleya.
However, due to the excessive loss of Cattleya's mental power, some accidents occurred when she returned to modern times... She was supposed to return to modern times on March 4th, but there was an error in the timeline, and she arrived on March 7th. On the same day, at the same time, Xu Qiansu's body failed to return to the villa with Cattleya's body, but fell in a corner of Binhai City.
Fortunately, Xu Qiansu has always had Cattleya's mark on her body. It is not difficult to find out the specific location, but today is March 7th...the day of Kyurem's original prophecy.
The evening breeze was blowing gently, and Miss Goethe took Cattleya to the Central Park of Binhai City.
There are no modern entertainment facilities in the park, so except for some restless young couples, there is no one there late at night.
Cattleya stepped onto the soft grass and glanced around with her green eyes. Then she narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and trotted to a tree. She knelt down on the grass regardless of her white clothes.
Her soft pink lips opened and closed, breathing lightly. Just a few steps of running like this made her extremely tired.
She lowered her eyes and saw Xu Qiansu, who was wearing a white robe, leaning against the tree trunk, her fair face calm and steady, her backpack on her side, Gardevoir and the others' pokeballs hanging on their waists... they didn't wake up.
Miss Goethe looked at Xu Qiansu and thought, who is this male human? Why does his trainer care so much about him?
Cattleya pursed her lips, put her hands on her thighs, and looked at Xu Qiansu without blinking.
The breeze blew by, causing Cattleya's golden hair to ruffle slightly.
"I'm so hungry... If I could eat something, it would definitely help me regain my energy."
After an unknown amount of time, Cattleya suddenly heard a calm voice with a slight smile.
Cattleya stood up, then looked down at Xu Qiansu, "Get up."
How else to say that a woman’s heart is as deep as the bottom of her heart? Cattleya was motionless just now, obviously extremely nervous, but now that Xu Qiansu woke up, she wouldn't even let him sit down.
Xu Qiansu opened her eyes and looked at Cattleya's beautiful face from bottom to top, but didn't say much.
He held on to the tree trunk and stood up with a somewhat frivolous pace. However, he rolled up his sleeves first and looked at his white forearms.
Cattleya raised her eyebrows slightly, "What? Do you suspect that I failed to protect you and caused you to suffer physical pain?"
Xu Qiansu shook his head and chuckled, putting down his sleeves, "Thanks to Miss Cattleya, I was able to have time to say goodbye to Soraya. I must have caused you a lot of trouble... It's a great kindness, but it's hard to say anything..."
"Shut up." Cattleya waved her hand a little impatiently, but extended her small hand, "I'm tired too... let's get out of here first."
Xu Qiansu blinked, then held Cattleya's little hand and carried her on her back.
Miss Goethe retracted her hand silently, looking at Cattleya's calm pretty face, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't be here, and should get back into the Poké Ball.
"It's as light as your spiritual body..." Xu Qiansu grabbed her backpack and hung it in front of her, then she carried Cattleya and walked out of the park.
Cattleya put her hands on Xu Qiansu's shoulders, glanced down at his side face, and wondered whether Xu Qiansu had discovered that he went to the Xicui area in the form of a spirit body... he must have discovered it.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't retrieve his memory and doesn't realize that most of Cattleya's mental power is in his consciousness, the seal will not be broken... However, Xu Qiansu can no longer remember that he and Cattleya were on the other side of the world. What happened...
Cattleya lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.
Xu Qiansu didn't say anything and walked forward silently.
The night is dark and the silver moon is high. Even in a deserted park, you can still faintly hear the night noise of this metropolis.
Miss Goethe followed the two of them step by step...here, these two people obviously seemed to be very close, but why didn't they say a word now?
Miss Goethe thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer, so she had to give up, thinking that she was just a female Pokémon who had never been in heat and could not understand the complex thoughts of humans.
After walking for a while, I stepped out of the park. On the roadside next to the park, there was a stall selling oden. Except for the owner, there were no customers.
Also, it was late at night, and this was not a bustling commercial street, so there were naturally not many customers.
But the boss still chose to open a store here, and I don’t know why.
Xu Qiansu shook his head gently, swept away the distracting thoughts in his mind, smiled softly, and asked, "Want to go get something to eat?"
Cattleya glanced at the vendors and the small shop built on a tricycle. A half curtain hung in front of the shop, revealing the seats and warm yellow lights. The sizzling sound of Oden soup could be heard even here.
She nodded slightly.
Xu Qiansu walked up to him, opened the curtain, looked at the remaining oden, and then looked at the boss, "Three standard set meals."
Miss Goethe blinked, but she didn't expect that she was involved... She thought the male human didn't even notice her.
Miss Goethe sat down on the chair and turned her head to look. Cattleya was one seat away from her, and Xu Qiansu was sitting between them.
Miss Goethe wanted to sit next to her trainer, but she seemed to have no room to interrupt now, so she looked at her nose, her nose and her heart, sitting where she was, silent, but quietly pricking up her ears.
Cattleya held up her pretty face, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "Have you paid homage to your first love?"
The tone of his voice showed some inexplicable dissatisfaction.
"I traveled with Soraya for a month." It was impossible for Xu Qian to answer directly. He took the cup, washed it with boiling water, placed it in front of Cattleya, and smiled softly, "Thanks again."
"Well -" Cattleya made an unknown nasal sound from her throat, and then looked away, "It doesn't matter if you don't smile. Why should you continue to use this attitude when you know I can read minds."
In fact, Cattleya doesn't even have the mental strength to maintain mind reading at this moment, but even if she did, she wouldn't read it at this moment.
Xu Qiansu poured a glass of water for the two of them and Miss Goethe, looking down at the swaying water waves without answering.
The two fell silent again for a while.
"Guest's oden." The boss was a silent middle-aged man. He placed the steaming oden in front of everyone, made a slight sound, then took back his hand and wiped the cup behind the kitchen counter without saying a word. Did not say.
The evening breeze blew from the street and slightly lifted the curtains of the store.
"Cattleya, did I help you achieve your goal?" Xu Qiansu looked at the sizzling hot soup in the bowl, silent for a while, but suddenly asked.
Cattleya was slightly startled, then raised her hand to take a bamboo skewer and inserted it into the potatoes in the bowl, but she didn't eat them. After a while, she asked, "Do you know what I want to do?"
"I can probably guess something...Thank you." The boss put a glass of beer in front of the two of them for some unknown reason. Xu Qiansu picked up the cup and took a sip before turning her head to look at Cattleya, "In Beili Town, there are two people in front of me. Come to assassinate me and then be killed by a leaf..."
Cattleya lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"When you were unconscious, I held your hand and kept sensing the waveguide in your body, lest something happen to you... Now that I think about it, you were in a mental body at the time, so what I sensed was the waveguide of your mental power." Xu Qiansu He smiled for some reason and continued to explain, "So I am familiar with your spiritual power... and your breath was on that leaf at that time..."
"You knew, but you didn't tell?"
"Because I believe that no matter what your purpose is, you will not harm me..." Xu Qiansu picked up a piece of radish, took a small bite, put it into the bowl, and whispered: "But now that something like this has happened troubled, I have received so many favors from you, even if you want to harm me, I have nothing to say."
Cattleya no longer held up the side of her face, she stretched out a green-white jade finger and gently rubbed it on the beer glass, feeling a little moisture and coldness on it.
Has her purpose been accomplished?
Cattleya doesn't know...
Her original purpose was just to control her own superpowers.
But after mastering the superpower, he turned to protect Zhulan.
For this reason, she wanted Xu Qiansu to die for Zhulan.
Then...she wanted Xu Qiansu to live again.
In order to fulfill Xu Qiansu's wish and to allow him to return to modern times alive, Cattleya committed herself to him...
Now...Zhulan is alive, and Xu Qiansu is also alive.
Under Cattleya's almost perfect plan, Kyurem's arrangement seemed to have become a joke.
So what is Cattleya's purpose now?
There was a burst of chatter and laughter behind them.
A young man and woman walked in and sat down on the chairs... They were obviously a couple.
However, they didn't do anything beyond their reach. Their words and deeds were full of a kind of harmony that "starts with emotion but ends with etiquette".
Cattleya looked away, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
If Xu Qiansu had not lost his memory, then Cattleya might be the happiest woman in the world...
But there is no if, if Xu Qiansu gets his memory back, he will die.
"Cattleya."
"Huh?" Cattleya held the beer glass and tightened her little hands slightly.
At this moment, she finally understood what the fate that Kyurem had set was.
No matter how she arranges it, no matter how hard she tries, it will eventually happen.
Because all this is her own choice.
It was because of Zhulan that she fell in love with Xu Qiansu.
It was also she who sealed Xu Qiansu's memory.
Everything is her choice.
Xu Qiansu didn't look at her, and her fingertips caressed the hot bowl. The tingling pain seemed to make him let go of some unnecessary emotions in his heart.
After a short silence, he said.
"I like Miss Mary."
After hearing this, Cattleya did not speak.
She picked up the beer, took a sip, put down the glass, and rested it on her arms as if she was tired.
The evening breeze blew and lifted the curtains.
Cattleya, who is strong and reliable and can handle everything perfectly, is currently leaning on the table, her blond hair is blown by the evening breeze, her back is slender and weak.
She replied slowly and quietly.
"I already knew it."
