Dual-career Pokémon trainer

In the nameless volcanic ash forest, a rare existence came today, whose level is far superior to that of the indigenous people here.

Although the intimidation was deliberately restrained, there was no Pokémon around.

On the back of the giant orange beast, a blue humanoid puppy and a human wearing a red hat were sitting leisurely on its back, as if they did not feel the pressure that made the Pokémon's heart spasm at all.

"Leo Leo... (Jing, if what you said before is correct, shouldn't we go find that guy and take us back now...)"

Riolu, who was being rubbed in Lin Jing's arms, made a helpless sound.

Unfortunately, what greeted him was another harsh beating.

"Oh, if my guess (actually it's a real hammer) is true, then we are now experiencing time travel, which not many people have experienced so far.

Of course, the key point is to have a good stroll in this different time and space.

As for going back...if the jump time is not long, it should be okay to just explain it to Professor Yamanashi and the others.

If it's too long, go back and look for it.

Anyway, according to Celebi's duty, He rescued us here, and for the sake of time stability, He will send us back.

And even if He doesn't care, we can just go back to Sinnoh and try again."

Lin Jing said that he had many ways to do it anyway, and he would definitely check whether it was a point in the past or the future first and then have some fun.

As for finding Celebi... I can only say that it would be difficult to find her even if you look for her deliberately.

Anyway, based on what he knew about Celebi's personality, they were normally gentle.

After apologizing properly, they didn't destroy the surrounding forest or harm the Pokémon.

As long as this Celebi is responsible, he will always send them back.

But before that...

He is definitely going to have a blast at this new time!

No...it seems that we can't go too far. It would be bad to change the timeline drastically.

Or is his time travel considered part of the original timeline?

It’s really hard to say about time travel in the Pokémon world.

Although the several time travels he knew seemed to have changed the original history, it was not certain whether the changed history would be part of the original history?

However, judging from the most famous encounter between Daiki and the silly thing in Celebi, it seems that it is very likely that everything they did was based on the original history.

Forget it... time is too complicated, so he should stop thinking about it.

After clearing out the mess in his mind, Lin Jing looked around again.

"Are we heading towards Qiuye Town now?"

"Leo. (Probably.)"

Riolu nodded, indicating that its waveguide sensed what should be farmland in the distance.

If that's the case, if they continue walking this way, they will probably end up at the Qiuye Town they left earlier.

"That's good. Let's go to the town and ask what year it is first."

Lin Jing nodded with satisfaction. If it was in the past, she hoped it wouldn’t be too long ago.

He thought that the ancient times would be very troublesome.

No...If it's too futuristic, it doesn't seem good either...

I think I should hide my identity first...

Thinking of this, Lin Jing skillfully searched for his mask and sunglasses in his backpack.

Just after doing all this, Lin Jing felt as if there was a loud noise coming from a distance.

Arcanine, Riolu, and Rotom also subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

It seemed as if something in the distance, or even in the air, exploded.

Is it some flying Pokémon that is fighting?

Forget it, it doesn’t seem to be their business anyway.

Just as I was about to move forward, the next moment I heard a series of crisp sounds and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground not far away in the forest.

"Forget it... Windy Dog, let's go take a look."

Looking at the exit which was very close to them, Lin Jing thought for a moment and asked Windy Dog to change the route.

Suddenly I became curious about the thing that fell in the forest.

Thinking about it again, I can basically prove that I am in a state of time travel. Maybe it was triggered by this time travel event?

Anyway, let’s go and have a look.

With this thought in mind, Lin Jing asked the wind speed dog, who was rolling his eyes, to change the route.

It really doesn't like the environment here. It can't run at high speed without finding the main road, and it will get a lot of nearby volcanic ash on its body from time to time.

It really upsets the dog.

However, if Jing hadn't said it, it would still be hard for it to accept that they really traveled through time and space.

I wanted to go to the town to check it out as soon as possible.

After wagging its tail, Windy Hound changed direction and moved towards the previous sound.

The sound of leaves and hair rustling in the woods.

An orange trail with dots of dog paw prints weaved through it.

But in a moment, Windy Dog appeared at the previous landing point.

Broken tree branches were scattered on the ground, and together with the marks on the ground, it seemed that the things that had fallen here before had disappeared.

"It's gone. Is it alive?"

Looking up at the broken branches above his head, then at the faint and small reflection on the ground, Lin Jing speculated.

Judging from the footprints that only show people leaving, it shouldn't have been taken away by a Pokémon that was originally nearby.

But it doesn't look like a bird Pokémon. Instead, it has a strange yet familiar feeling.

Looking at the three claws that were almost the size of his own fingers, Lin Jing muttered to himself.

But they don't look like the same species as these little guys.

After all, this footprint obviously has no paw pads, and as for the other little guys without paw pads, they don't have such small feet or hands.

Wait…why does he feel like he still has hands?

There was an inexplicable feeling that that strange familiarity seemed to be closer. Before Lin Jing could think about it, Riolu, who had already taken a few steps along the footprints, suddenly swung his fist towards the bushes not far away.

"Leo! (Who's there!)"

The fist filled with power was swung out, and just as it was about to break up the bushes, a golden electric current gushed out from it.

The force and the electric current collide with each other, but the force dissipates only after contact.

The golden electric current seemed to have used up all its power and dissipated in mid-air.

However, Riolu's muscles covered by hair tensed up again.

"Leo! (Come again!)"

"Wait Riolu!"

"Leo? (Huh?)"

Without waiting for Riolu to attack again, Lin Jing quickly stopped him.

When Riolu turned back subconsciously and confusedly, he saw Lin Jing's eyes full of strange and wonderful thoughts.

Following Lin Jing's gaze, one can see that this guy is staring at the small, fluffy and cute figure behind the charred leaves that were burned through by the electric current.

"Leo? (Do you like it?)"

Riolu, who knew this fur lover very well, spoke subconsciously.

The strange thing is that even though it had just been attacked by Riolu, the furry creature did not continue to fight back, nor did it have any intention of running away.

Instead, he looked at the man and three Pokémon in front of him with a look of doubt and a little confusion.
