Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

“Beep!

Beep! "

Bai Yi was awakened by bursts of sharp and piercing noises. As if he had just woken up from a nap, he was brought back to consciousness by that inexplicably familiar voice.

"This is where?"

In a daze, Bai Yi opened his eyes and felt as if he was flying in the sky, overlooking the earth.

Steel stands everywhere, and high-rise buildings made of steel bars and soil grow like trees.

The criss-crossing streets are busy with cars and people, like a rushing stream, never stopping for a moment, one group leaving and another coming.

Small stalls popped up everywhere on the streets and alleys, with the hawking sounds rising and falling as they competed for customers.

Familiar scenes flashed across his mind, irritating Bai Yu's nerves and making him feel uncomfortable.

"here it is……"

That long time, no, it should be the name that has never been spoken since the journey, the planet that I will never forget in the depths of my memory, the hometown that I am most familiar with...

Bai Di could even see a small stall that he used to frequent.

"The boss has been replaced. That's right. I've been away for...how many years?"

This world does not have his family, but it is the place he longs for the most. There is a group of old men there who are not family but are more like family...

"Why can I see my past life?"

"Because you passed through the barriers of the world."

At some point, a smaller version of Arceus came to Bai Yi's side. Two phantoms that could not be perceived by the outside world floated and quickly landed on the ground.

Feeling the non-existent touch, Bai Yi walked forward cautiously. When he saw someone coming, he would subconsciously avoid them even though he knew he would not bump into or touch anyone.

"World Barrier? You mean those spots of light?"

A man and a beast were walking on the street; the hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with them.

"Yes, you can also think of them as small worlds one after another."

Bai Di nodded. After all, compared with Pokémon that possess magical powers and can destroy the world with a wave of their hands, humans... only have a few weapons that can compare with them.

Bai Yu did not ask, but just continued walking. He was reluctant to leave here. He was worried that once the question-and-answer process was completed, Arceus would take him away from this world.

"Oh, don't worry about it. With your talent, if you are willing, you can also be like me and travel between different worlds at will within ten years."

Arceus narrowed his eyes, chuckled twice, and bluntly pointed out Bai Yi's concerns.

"You'll have plenty of time in the future. We came to your hometown this time for only one purpose.

That is to answer the doubts and questions in your heart, such as the Pokémon world. Why do I say long time no see? Is the Pokémon world a game world? And what is the purpose of your existence?"

Arceus asked several questions in succession, and after pondering for a while, Bai Yu was able to answer several of them himself.

The Pokémon world is not the game world. The power levels of the two worlds are not at the same level at present. It is impossible for the human world to create Arceus who has the power to travel to other worlds at will, and it is even more impossible to create such a huge and real world!

Why did Pokémon appear in the human world? And how did Arceus see himself?

Bai Yi still has no idea about this problem.

"Don't you understand? Well, look at what that is."

Arceus stopped and drew Bai Yi's attention.

Bai Yu, who had been immersed in thought, did not pay attention to the situation around him. At this time, they crossed the crowd and came to a small square.

On one side of the square is a huge screen, on which is playing the brand new Pokémon world that The Pokémon Company is about to launch!

In the upper right corner, there are two dazzling words that intersect red and blue:

Linkage!

On the left side of the screen are the familiar protagonists including WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon, while on the right side are Pikachu, Arceus and other well-known Pokémon.

In the center of the screen, the protagonist of the new work is marked with a black piece and a big “?” is marked on his face.

None of these were enough to surprise Bai Yi. After all, in his previous life, he was able to release a new generation of Pokémon every two years. He has been away for several years now. Isn't it normal for him to release new works?

But when Bai Yu's gaze moved to the center of the screen, behind the protagonist, horror, like a huge wave, swept through Bai Yu's entire heart!

It was a tall creature with wings on its back and wearing armor. Its white feathers fell like snow, and some of them fell on its extremely handsome head as tall as a Gundam, creating a hint of coldness.

“That’s…that’s me!

How could I be here?!"

Yes, on the screen, there are brand new legendary Pokémons from a new generation.

A combination of digital and Pokémon!

Feather of Bonds! Shirataki! Appears!

"I'll list some liver burnt..."

Bai Kui admired this different him from reality. The anime game style... also has a unique flavor~

"Well, you should be able to guess what it is now."

Arceus looked at himself who was placed at the end, his body shrunk a lot and completely became a foil to Bai Yi. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, only curiosity about new things and the desire to explore.

"…We are the ones who have influenced this world?"

Bai Yi thought of the novels he had read in his previous life. At that time, he was quite impressed by why the human brain could come up with so many mysterious and impossible stories.

Could it be that every writer has traveled through time? After experiencing the scenery of another world, they traveled back and recorded it all?

This thought had occurred to Bai Yi when he first arrived in his hometown. After all, at this moment, as long as he wanted, he could write an incredibly realistic novel about another world, and even... understand Pokémon better than the founder of Pokémon!

But when he saw his image being put into the game as a new mythical beast, he suddenly had an epiphany.

It wasn't some time traveler who created the alternate world, but the alternate world... indirectly created itself!

"That's right~"

Arceus said with a cheerful tone.

"We come from different worlds, and the world has strong and weak."

"Every living being in every world will unconsciously generate a kind of thought when they move.

This thought is like a mark, telling the world that you exist, and at the same time, this mark is unique. "

“And the worlds are not all in a confrontational form.

Most of the time, there is no conflict between the worlds, just like two glass balls passing by each other. "

“And in this contact, the imprint of the powerful world, like dandelions blown by the wind, sticks to the weak world and blends into it little by little.

This part of the absorbed unique mark will not bring about any changes in the energy level, but will only be captured by the creatures of that world.

It was like a flash of inspiration~"

"So, the people of this world used various methods, such as oral communication, written records, and dreams, to depict the existence of other worlds."

Arceus and Bai Yi, while communicating, have come to the bottom of the screen.

"Well, you have lived in our world for a long time, so you have thoughts, which are captured and marked by the world, and then you are captured again when the world approaches you."

Bai Yu understood Arceus' explanation, but not completely.

He has experienced nearly ten years in the Pokémon world and has continued to grow. In this process, he has gradually integrated into the world as a time traveler, and then been recognized and marked by the world. Bai Yi can understand all of this.

But the problem is...

I came to the Pokémon world from this world!

I have become a powerful being perceived by the people in the main world?!

"What a magical and ridiculous experience..."

"But... I have already existed in this world. Won't there be any contradiction between those two marks?"

Bai Yi always felt that something was wrong. Although Arceus didn't say it completely, two identical people and two marks appeared in the same world... Could such a thing really happen?

"It seems that you listened carefully to what I said~ Very good."

Arceus turned his head, and his originally playful eyes froze in an instant.

"Do you really still think that you are a living being in this world?"
