Ditto doesn't move

Hu~hu~hu~

The adorable little guy was fast asleep next to me, with drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth, as if he had encountered some delicious food in his dream.

What? Your family runs a restaurant, yet you're drooling over food?

The first funny thought that popped into the little girl's mind was a strange, subtle unease that prevented her from laughing out loud.

Ah, speaking of which, I was kicked out of the basement by Mamane because he thought I was too much trouble, so I came to visit him at his house.

My aunt and uncle treated me very warmly and even prepared some food for me.

What time is it now?

Mamane seems to have asked me to bring him some cookies made by her mother.

Instead of waking Tian Wuni, she quietly stood up and turned to look at the clock in the room, which was now shrouded in shadow.

That subtle sense of foreboding materialized at that moment, striking Mao.

Seven o'clock.

It's already 7 o'clock?!

Mao's thoughts went blank for a moment.

how could it be possible?

Even if I fall asleep, my uncle and aunt will surely come and wake me up, right?

Mamane is such a glutton, if he gets too hungry, he'll come out looking for food and wake me up to complain.

A great sense of unease arose at this moment, and the young cook became aware of another easily overlooked fact.

—It's so quiet.

Even though it's already evening, it shouldn't be this quiet.

Especially recently, there have been so many trainers coming to Alola that you can occasionally hear people practicing their moves, even late at night.

A great sense of unease made the little girl somewhat recklessly rush into the house.

Then they saw Mamane's father sitting at the dining table with a newspaper on his head, while his mother sat on the floor leaning against the door with her head drooping.

Only the soft sound of breathing remained in the room.

Haha, so they were all asleep?

Are adults this tired too?

She chuckled twice and went to her uncle and aunt's side to try to wake them up, but no matter how much she pushed them, they didn't seem to wake up.

I went back and tried waking up Tian Wuni, but got the same result.

A nearly absurd idea suddenly popped into the young cook's mind:

It's so quiet, could it be that everyone is asleep?

If the entire island's inhabitants were to fall into a deep sleep, that would indeed be a very serious matter, and it wouldn't be something that could be resolved simply by having superior combat strength.

With this thought in mind, Mao went out.

Sure enough, the streets outside were filled with pedestrians staggering about.

Some people snore quite loudly while sleeping, but from a few meters away, it becomes a soft whisper mixed with the sea breeze.

Some people were lying in particularly funny positions, hugging the trash can as if they were about to kiss it, as if they were confessing their love in a dream, but Mao couldn't laugh at all.

A huge emerald green light curtain, like a dome, enveloped the visible distance, obscuring the moon and stars in the sky.

The deathly silence, with everyone fast asleep, made Mao, who was already somewhat timid, feel her hair stand on end.

What should I do?

Is anyone else awake besides me?

The answer is, yes.

A sudden, thunderous roar in the distance, followed by several shooting stars tearing through the sky, startled Mao, who quickly turned her gaze to the area below the light barrier.

In that hazy, emerald-green light, something seemed to be fighting.

The giant snake-shaped Pokémon intersected with three shooting stars of pink, yellow, and green, its unrestrained type energy creating streaks of light like fireworks.

It is the guardian deity of the island.

As a local of Alola, the little cook immediately recognized the other person.

Although she knew it would be dangerous to get close to the battlefield, her trust in the island god compelled her to take the first step and try to seek help.

Kapok and the others must know what happened.

But then the unexpected happened; in stark contrast to the battlefield, a similar explosion came from the direction of the 陾灵拔龄就（：三） (蹴).

The twelve Pokémon that whizzed through the air created a much greater spectacle than the island gods.

Purple flames clashed with another kind of clear blue flames with unparalleled violence, while crimson magic spears and shimmering leaf blades intertwined in the darkness.

There were songs echoing and birds screeching.

The massive rock was shattered by the Flame Charge, and the two terrifying black energies tore at each other like vicious dogs.

And who is fighting?

Because Mamane's house was on a mountain, Mao could clearly see their battle from afar.

Incomprehensible.

Why can't everyone work together to resolve the crisis when a huge crisis is happening? Instead, they're fighting.

And it was at this moment that the third battlefield was announced:

From the direction of Poni Island, a terrifying hole suddenly tore through the sky, from which flew out numerous enormous Pokémon exuding an ominous aura.

From that direction, a fleet of several high-tech airships rose up to intercept them.

The markings imprinted on the airship were so familiar that Mao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"The Rockets?!?"

But isn't the Rockets a villainous organization?

They're actually fighting monsters that look absolutely terrifying?

The naive young cook was completely thrown into chaos at this moment.

The green snake-shaped Pokémon, which had been under constant attack, finally erupted in fury at this moment.

It unleashed a tremendous burst of energy, repelling the island gods that had besieged it, and its shrieking sound seemed to travel to the boundless distance.

The next moment, the green light shield retracted into its body, and countless green rays of light flew towards its location from afar, and then...

A barrage of arrows, like a judgment, rained down.

The legendary Pokémon, the guardians of the ecosystem, have, like the Black Dragon and White Dragon of the Unova Legends, made up their minds and unleashed their signature moves with a powerful will:

Thousands of arrows fired!

Volume 2, Grand Alliance Chapter: Chapter 161 Sleep Now, Tomorrow Will Be Another Peaceful Day

Indiscriminate attack.

One word can describe the terrible consequences of the volley of arrows at that moment.

Although its main target was the large hole in the distant sky and those strange Pokémon, the angry ecological guardian had completely given up on avoiding harming innocent bystanders, as if it wanted to use this move to defeat everything that stood in its way.

At that moment, a terrifying burst of lightning erupted from the second battlefield, blasting away the Pokémon battling around it.

"One hundred thousand volts."

As the lightning and the rain of arrows collided and exploded endlessly, a terrifying thought inexplicably arose in the young cook's mind.

She vaguely remembered the scene she saw on the morning of the first day of Yiqi (8) Ling Liuyi: her friend seemed to have suddenly realized something and showed a mature expression like an adult.

"Xiaozhi?"

Overwhelmed by the sudden and drastic change, Mallow uttered those words in a daze, unaware that one of the Pokémon that had been knocked away was flying towards him.

Bang! ! !

The loud crash brought her back to reality, and upon closer inspection, she realized that what had blasted the hole in the ground was...

Pokémon?

Ditto, despite its obvious injuries, remained undeterred in its aura and domineering presence, and was slightly taken aback.

Could such extraordinary wisdom enable the emperor to make the right choice at this moment?

……

Absolutely!

It's easy!

"Mao, close your eyes for a moment."

A familiar voice drifted through the air.

The voice was so familiar and so reassuring that the girl subconsciously did as the other person said.

A strange, shrill shriek came from beside my ear.

When the other person said she could open her eyes, the little cook opened them again and found that the Ditto was gone, replaced by...

It's Mr. Xia Ming!

The wind direction reversed at that moment.

Seeing the little girl suddenly burst into tears and rush to hug him as if she had finally found someone she could trust, the emperor's extraordinary wisdom began to work.

Xia Ming, the Martial God, gently touched his injured abdomen and said softly:

"I see. Mao, has something strange happened to you?"

“Yes! It’s the shrine! It begged me to stop a terrible future…”

Hearing the question, the little girl, who hadn't even had time to wipe away her tears, hurriedly answered, but the warmth in her hand almost made her legs go weak:

"Blood... Mr. Xia Ming, you're badly injured! I remember there should be a first-aid kit at home..."

"Hmph, a mere fatal wound."

The ever-unconventional martial god placed his hand on the head of the flustered little girl:

"Don't worry, my teammates are doing their best to buy us time to communicate."

"You said shrine bhikkhu, did you travel through time or use some other method?"

As he said, after that shriek, everything from the crimson demonic spear to the burning demonic star, including the song, rocks, and evil power, all surged tenfold or even ninefold in power, just like Pokémon receiving a trainer's command.

The sheer force of the attack temporarily suppressed even the simultaneous barrage of lightning and arrows.

"I found out about the postponement of the adventure when I talked to you at noon, and then I dreamed about Celebi that night. When I woke up, I was back in the morning."

As if infected by the virus, the young cook used all her wisdom to speak as concisely as possible:

"Oh right, I was asleep just now too. But the shrine woke me up and said that we must find out the truth. There should be a few more chances, but he didn't say exactly how many."

"I can rest assured that."

After a moment's thought, Xia Ming, the Martial God, gave his answer:

"It's a time loop. You still have a chance to go back in time and prevent things from getting worse. But be careful, such opportunities are very limited."
