Chapter Summaries

Mark, Mewtwo, and Cresselia developed a Dream Machine by combining Porygon with an AI system and linking supercomputers in reality and the Dream Cultivation World. After seventeen days in the real world, Mark completed the machine.

• After hearing Cresselia explain how dreams worked, Mark came up with the idea of using Porygon to expand the Dream Cultivation World.
• Mark, Mewtwo, and Cresselia researched the Dream Machine across more than thirty years in the Dream Cultivation World, while Cresselia helped Porygon create complex dreams and gave it new power.
• Mark and Mewtwo determined that the Dream Machine needed linked supercomputers in both the real world and the Dream Cultivation World, with each able to repair the other.
• Mark and his Pokemon used Jirachi’s wish-granting power and Aura Power to build a supercomputer from scratch in the Dream Cultivation World.
• After seventeen days in reality, Mark successfully created the Dream Machine.

Mark completed the Dream Machine, increasing the time he could spend cultivating in the Dream Cultivation World, then began advancing toward the Embracing the Dan realm. Meanwhile, Mi Yang returned to Clear Stream Village and encountered a strange AR test agreement generated by its new AI assistant.

• The completed Dream Machine increased Mark’s daily cultivation time in the Dream Cultivation World to three hundred days, with further gains possible as his bond with Porygon grew.
• Cresselia returned to her Dream World to rest, while Mark began cultivating toward the Embracing the Dan realm.
• Mark used the Dream Machine’s additional functions to transform Clear Stream Village and the surrounding area, where Bulbasaur, Butterfree, Beedrill, and Venusaur thrived.
• After exploring fifty-seven parallel worlds, Mi Yang returned to Mark’s world and found the Thornbush Defense Line overgrown with living vines and inhabited by Bulbasaur.
• Near Clear Stream Village, Mi Yang saw an interface from Little Duo inviting him to test the village’s hyperrealistic virtual AR interaction.

Mi Yang tested Mark’s Unreal Engine interface in Clear Stream Village and explored its Pokémon information and battle-analysis features. He then headed to Clear Stream Gym to tell Mark that another transmigrator had been found in World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel, where Flaming had captured and tortured him.

• Mi Yang accepted the virtual panel’s agreement and set its menu trigger on his wrist.
• Mi Yang examined Red Gyarados’s and Weavile’s menu information, and the AI identified Red Gyarados as Master-Heavenly King Rank.
• Mi Yang followed coordinates from public chat to a Pokémon battle, where Unreal Engine displayed a virtual arena and calculated real-time win rates.
• Mi Yang left the battle and went to Clear Stream Gym to speak with Mark.
• Mi Yang recalled that a transmigrator in World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel had been captured by Flaming and tortured into revealing nearly everything.

Mi Yang told Flaming that Flaming from World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel had followed him to World Number One Parallel and headed toward Southern Sky Province with Dark Celebi. Flaming questioned whether Mi Yang was sure the other Flaming had gone to meet his father, leaving Mi Yang to consider that he might still be nearby and following them.

• Mi Yang learned that Sun Jun's exposed transmigration had led Flaming of World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel to use Dark Celebi in a secret search for other worlds.
• Mi Yang encountered Flaming of World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel and fled back to World Number One Parallel with Shiny Celebi, but Flaming and Dark Celebi followed.
• After reaching World Number One Parallel, Mi Yang saw the other Flaming head southeast toward Southern Sky Province and feared he was going to meet his father.
• In Clear Stream Gym's reception room, Mi Yang confessed what had happened to Flaming from World Number Two Parallel while Shaymin inhaled cigarette smoke nearby.
• Flaming asked whether the other Flaming might have doubled back and secretly followed Mi Yang instead of going to Southern Sky Province.

Flaming reassured Mi Yang that the Flaming from World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel had not followed him and predicted that the two other versions of Flaming would cooperate before one killed the other. Mark arrived after repairing his Aura System and asked Mi Yang to explain the transmigrator Sun Jun.

• Mi Yang panicked that he might have led Flaming from World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel to World Number Two Parallel, but Flaming calmed him and explained that Mark and the Mythical Pokemon could handle any intruder.
• Flaming said that people with conditional trust in Mark, including himself, could now train briefly in Mark's Dream Cultivation World and described his recent progress.
• Mi Yang asked what would happen when the two other versions of Flaming met, and Flaming predicted they would cooperate before the Flaming from World Number One Parallel killed the one from World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel.
• Flaming predicted that the winner would use Mewtwo to defeat Dark Celebi and then seek to dominate and combine the resources of more parallel worlds.
• Mark arrived after restoring his Aura System's original neural center and asked Mi Yang for details about the transmigrator Sun Jun.

Mi Yang told Mark about Sun Jun, a transmigrator whose rapid rise and excessive resource theft reminded Mark of his own Spirit Control Panel. After Mark struck his head to stop himself thinking about training Sun Jun, Mi Yang could not say whether Sun Jun was alive.

• Mi Yang recounted Sun Jun's rise from an ordinary student to Hia's youngest Elite Trainer, along with his crimes as the bounty hunter A Fei.
• Mi Yang suggested Sun Jun had a special ability that let him consume resources and grow rapidly, leading Mark to recognize a method similar to his Spirit Control Panel.
• Mark struck his head twice while practicing Embracing the Dan, startling Mi Yang as his skull cracked and began to heal.
• Flaming reassured Mi Yang that Mark's strange condition was part of his cultivation, and Mark explained he had hit himself to stop his thoughts about teaching Sun Jun.
• Mark asked whether Sun Jun was alive, and Mi Yang said the Resistor Camp had conflicting reports.

Mark considered whether Sun Jun and other transmigrators could be found across parallel worlds, hoping Sun Jun’s stat-point ability might help his Dream Cultivation World break through its bottleneck. Since Mi Yang could not say when he and Shiny Celebi could take Mark to another world, Mark prepared to travel once his life form changed at the Embracing the Dan realm.

• Mark reasoned that Sun Jun was probably imprisoned by Flaming of World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel and considered capturing him to learn about his stat-point ability.
• Flaming pointed out that transmigrators could be hiding in parallel worlds without revealing themselves, and Mark said their origins and numbers remained uncertain.
• Flaming praised Mi Yang’s pure kindness for helping him meet Celebi, while Mark credited Mythical Pokemon with much of his own progress.
• Mark asked Mi Yang when he and Shiny Celebi could take him to their parallel world, but Mi Yang could only guess it might take a month, a year, or longer.
• Mark explained that reaching the Embracing the Dan realm might give him qualities of both humans and Pokemon, allowing him to use Mi Yang’s ability to transport Pokemon between worlds.

Mark explained that he could travel between worlds as a Pokemon-like being if he formed a bond with Mi Yang, while Jirachi mistook this to mean they could lay eggs together. As Mew delayed its final fusion with God Tree Space and Flaming left to gather information, Mark tried to bring Mi Yang into his Dream Cultivation World but failed.

• Mark told Mi Yang he could accompany him between worlds as a Pokemon-like being through a bond, and Jirachi excitedly suggested they could lay eggs together.
• Mark explained that Pokemon needed genders to lay eggs, prompting Jirachi, Victini, and Mew to realize they had none; Jirachi hit Victini and chased Mew from the room.
• Mark recalled that Mew had mastered Nature Dance and become Stone Gate Forest's master, but had postponed the final fusion with God Tree Space until the last day.
• Shaymin secretly buried Flaming's dropped cigarette in Third Uncle's courtyard, while Flaming left to gather information about Fallen Leaf Province amid the worldwide Chaotic Pokemon Tide.
• Mark attempted to bring Mi Yang into his Dream Cultivation World, failed, and concluded that even conditional trust between them was impossible.

Mark brought Mi Yang into the Dream Cultivation World through a signed agreement and explained how cultivating there could strengthen Mi Yang’s trust. While Mi Yang trained beside him, Mark completed his full-body Aura transformation and reached the Embracing the Dan realm three days ahead of schedule.

• Mark explained that his Dream Cultivation World could admit people who trusted him conditionally and offered Mi Yang an agreement to deepen their trust.
• Mi Yang signed the agreement, entered the Dream Cultivation World, and learned he could stay there for about a month because Celebi had exhausted its power.
• Mark told Mi Yang that he expected to complete his Embracing the Dan training within twenty-three days in the real world.
• Mark began replacing his body systems with Aura and successfully upgraded his brain after 212 days in the Dream Cultivation World.
• Mark completed his full-body transformation and reached the Embracing the Dan realm on the twentieth day in the real world, three days ahead of schedule.

Mark reached the Embracing the Dan realm, gained Fighting-type Pokemon traits, and discovered new moves. Mewtwo created a new Mega Evolution form, Mewtwo Z, and the two began a spar that showed Mark still lagged far behind him.

• Mark completed his transformation into a half-Aura lifeform and gained Fighting-type attributes, the Pressure ability, and new moves.
• Mark found Mewtwo completing his own breakthrough and examined Mewtwo Z, a new Mega Evolution form he had created.
• Mewtwo explained that he could transform into Mewtwo X, Mewtwo Y, and Mewtwo Z, and that each form had strengths worth developing.
• Mark and Mewtwo sparred in the Dream Cultivation World while Caterpie, Golisopod, and Butterfree watched.
• Mark demonstrated greatly increased speed and attack power, but remained outmatched by Mewtwo's three forms.

After gaining Pokemon traits and reaching the Embracing the Dan realm, Mark traveled with Mi Yang to World Number One Parallel. He brought Caterpie and Jirachi across space as well, and Jirachi's body began to change upon arrival.

• Mewtwo said that his odds of defeating Rayquaza had risen to two in ten, and Mark decided to travel to Mi Yang's world.
• Back in reality, Jirachi and the others discovered that Mark had become a Pokemon, and Mark tested his Pokeball, healing devices, Move Tutor, and Energy Cubes.
• Mark gave his Pokeball to Mi Yang, who traveled through time and space with Shiny Celebi to World Number One Parallel.
• In a dark cave, Mark asked Celebi to preserve its power so they could bring two Pokemon to him, and Celebi agreed.
• Caterpie and then Jirachi crossed space to Mark, and Jirachi's body began to undergo a marvelous change.

Jirachi transformed into a Shiny Jirachi after sensing a comet, then joined Mark and Caterpie in trying to examine and heal Mi Yang’s Shiny Celebi. Celebi revealed its escape attempt had failed, and Jirachi and Mark healed it, leaving Celebi wary but recovering.

• Jirachi’s Wish Tag turned red as rainbow starlight surrounded it, transforming it into a Shiny Jirachi.
• Jirachi and Caterpie approached Shiny Celebi, but Caterpie caught it when it tried to Teleport away.
• Celebi used its last-resort move to escape more than a hundred times, leaving it near death and altering Jirachi’s perception of what had happened.
• Jirachi used Wish and Caterpie used Healing Wish to restore Celebi’s vitality.
• Jirachi reassured Celebi that they meant no harm and bragged that it and Mark had known about Celebi’s repeated escape attempts, while Mark looked puzzled.

Mark explained that Celebi had repeatedly reversed time after being caught, while Jirachi retained memories of the attempts because it had become a unique Wish Star. Jirachi discovered it had become Shiny, and the chapter ended with it finding a Great Wish it could use immediately.

• Jirachi told Mark that it and Caterpie had caught Celebi 154 times as Celebi repeatedly reversed time and fled.
• Mark reasoned that Jirachi's transformation limited Celebi's Time Reversal, and Shiny Celebi confirmed it could not rewind past the moment Jirachi's Wish Tags changed color.
• Jirachi discovered its Wish Tags stayed red after it tore them off, and Mark explained that Jirachi had become Shiny rather than being dyed by Mew.
• Jirachi checked its body, found it was still genderless, and noticed that its Eye of Truth could move.
• Jirachi announced that it had gained a Great Wish that it could use immediately.

Jirachi regained its Great Wish and considered using it to gain a gender before Mark advised it to save the wish for an important purpose. Jirachi decided to use it to wake the Jirachi of this world permanently, and Mark asked Mi Yang to take them to Fallen Sky Mountain first.

• Mark explained to Mi Yang that Jirachi's Great Wish could grant extraordinary wishes, and that Jirachi had regained one while becoming Shiny.
• Jirachi considered wishing for a gender so it could lay eggs with Mark, but Mark explained that it could not use its wish on itself.
• Mark advised Jirachi to save its Great Wish for a crisis or for saving someone in need.
• Jirachi decided to use its Great Wish to wake the Jirachi of this world and keep it from falling asleep again.
• Mark asked Mi Yang to take them to Fallen Sky Mountain before continuing to World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel to find Sun Jun.

Mark and Jirachi found the dormant Jirachi in Fallen Sky Mountain and used a Great Wish to awaken it early. The awakened Jirachi realized it no longer had to sleep for a thousand years and still had a Great Wish remaining, surprising Mark and Jirachi.

• Mark, Mi Yang, Jirachi, and Caterpie reached Fallen Sky Mountain and saw the smog-damaged forest and Zhao Meisha's experimental factory near Clear Stream Village.
• Jirachi sensed its sleeping counterpart inside a hidden cave, while Mark and Caterpie could not sense their own counterparts in this world.
• Mark failed to awaken the dormant Jirachi with his Wish Star's Envoy power, so Jirachi chose to use its Great Wish to free it from its thousand-year sleep.
• Mark wrote the wish on a Wish Tag, and Jirachi activated the Great Wish, breaking open the Crystal around the sleeping Jirachi.
• The awakened Jirachi discovered it had escaped the long sleep and still had a Great Wish to use, astonishing Mark and Jirachi.

Mark and Shiny Jirachi helped awaken another Jirachi, which returned its Great Wish to Shiny Jirachi. Shiny Jirachi then agonized over losing its chance to gain a gender, and Mark offered it another choice about transferring the wish back.

• The awakened Jirachi used its Great Wish to return the wish to Shiny Jirachi, then thanked Mark and the others and offered to help them.
• Shiny Jirachi collapsed in pain, and Mark explained that it was upset because it had lost the chance to use the Great Wish to gain a gender.
• Shiny Jirachi admitted it would rather save Jirachi in other worlds, though it wished it could have chosen to gain a gender without thinking about that responsibility.
• Mark suggested Shiny Jirachi could transfer the Great Wish back to the awakened Jirachi and choose again.

Shiny Jirachi discovered that the Great Wish could not be transferred back to the regular Jirachi, but their connection across time and space revealed a new move. In World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel, Shiny Jirachi used Wish Star Grand Gathering and brought the Jirachi from World Number One Parallel into the cave.

• Shiny Jirachi found that the regular Jirachi's body could not receive the transferred Great Wish, and Mark concluded the wish could only be transferred to Shiny Jirachi one-way.
• While sensing its connection with the regular Jirachi, Shiny Jirachi discovered a new move and asked Mark to take it to World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel.
• Mark and Mi Yang traveled to World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel with Shiny Jirachi and Caterpie.
• Shiny Jirachi wished for a Steel-type Z-Crystal and a Z-Ring, then joined Mark to unleash the new Z-Move, Wish Star Grand Gathering.
• Wish Star Grand Gathering revealed the Jirachi from World Number One Parallel, who looked around in confusion.

Mark learned that Shiny Jirachi’s Wish Star Grand Gathering could summon more than a hundred Jirachi from connected worlds for about forty minutes, roughly once a day. He agreed to help rescue the Jirachi of World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel, while the chapter shifted to North Lake Town and revealed a secret prison beneath it.

• Mark asked Shiny Jirachi about Wish Star Grand Gathering and learned it could summon connected Jirachi from other worlds if they agreed to come.
• Shiny Jirachi estimated it could summon more than a hundred Jirachi, which would stay for about forty minutes; the move could likely be used once a day.
• Jirachi urged Mark to rescue more of its kind, and Mark decided to visit World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel before looking for Sun Jun.
• Mark left the cave with Jirachi and Mi Yang and headed northwest toward Hia Kingdom, arriving again at Fallen Leaf Province and Fallen Sky Mountain.
• The narrative moved to North Lake Town, where Bug Catchers and Trainers gathered for the provincial contest, unaware that Flaming had secretly built an underground prison beneath the town.

Sun Jun remembered how Flaming had captured and tortured him, then decided to use his last Points to help Koffing corrode the dungeon cell door and escape. Mark interrupted their training and explained how to strengthen Koffing’s poison, leaving Sun Jun and Koffing to try a new method in the Dream World.

• Sun Jun recalled his rise as a Trainer, his defeat by Flaming, and the torture that revealed Flaming was Giovanni.
• Sun Jun trained the Koffing he had subdued in the dungeon and used two Points to specialize its Smog move.
• Mark, accompanied by Shiny Jirachi and Caterpie, entered the cell while Sun Jun and Koffing remained absorbed in training.
• Mark told Sun Jun that hunger, rather than feeding Koffing swamp gas, could stimulate its poison glands and strengthen its toxicity.
• Sun Jun and Koffing began training according to Mark’s method in the Dream World.

Mark taught Sun Jun how to train Koffing’s Smog, guiding them through decades of practice in Sun Jun’s Stat Point Dream World. Sun Jun died before Koffing could return Smog to simplicity, and the dream world shattered, leaving Koffing determined to fulfill his final wish.

• Mark explained that Koffing should develop its venom glands through hunger and learn to sense them when using Smog.
• With Mark’s guidance, Sun Jun controlled Koffing’s food and trained it until its Smog corroded the cell door’s lock, then continued practicing for years.
• Koffing’s Smog transformed until it could rapidly corrode iron, but Mark insisted it still had far to go and forced Sun Jun and Koffing to keep training in the dream world.
• After seventy-five years in the dream world, Sun Jun grew old and died without bringing Koffing’s Smog to simplicity.
• Koffing resolved to fulfill Sun Jun’s final wish, but the Stat Point Dream World shattered after Sun Jun’s death.
