Chapter Summaries

Lei Meng recovered memories of the traumatic Combat Training and learned that the Memory Potion was intended to ease his pain, not control him. He prepared to take it again, with a reminder to himself to gather his Heart of Strength.

• Lei Meng remembered Zapdos repeatedly attacking him during Combat Training and the blurry figure explaining that he could not truly die in the Dream Cultivation World.

• Lei Meng realized the Memory Potion was meant to relieve Combat Training trauma and wrote himself a reminder to gather his Heart of Strength before drinking it and aiming the Hypnosis Gun at himself.

Mark reunited with Mi Yang and Laika in the Frozen Tundra and asked Celebi to prepare for a journey into the past, while Mew and Jirachi pressured the timid Pokémon to join Combat Training. After sensing the snowfield’s veins, Mark condensed an ice sphere in his hand.

• Flaming carried the injured Flaming Two back to the rest area after Flaming Two’s failed attempt to kill Mark with a Crystal Bomb.

• Mark sensed the veins of the snowfield, moved through the snow for about ten minutes, then condensed an ice sphere in his palm.

Mark and his companions traveled through time and space with Celebi, reaching the world three thousand years in the past. After seeing strange branches in the River of Time and struggling with the flood of memories, Mark recovered and sensed something on a distant snow-covered hill.

• Mark, Jirachi, Mew, and Caterpie passed Celebi’s test to travel through time, while Mi Yang and Laika also qualified; most of the other Pokémon did not.
• Celebi used Laika’s longing as an anchor and transported the group into the past.
• During the journey, Mark saw possible timelines in which a Zarude adopted him and discovered a white thread suggesting he had forged a path outside the River of Time.
• Jirachi and Mew celebrated their arrival, then worried when Mark staggered from the overwhelming information he had perceived.
• Mark explained that Jirachi’s wishes for potato chips and cola failed because those items had not yet been invented.
• Mark and Jirachi sensed something on a distant snow-covered hill, though Mew, Caterpie, Mi Yang, and Laika sensed nothing.

Mark and Jirachi discovered a powerful Glastrier that seemed to share a bond with Mark’s Spectrier, and the Pokémon attacked their group. After Mark freed himself and healed Mi Yang and Laika, Jirachi and Caterpie defeated the herd, and Jirachi returned riding Glastrier.

• Mark and Jirachi sensed Spectrier’s presence, but a Glastrier appeared instead and charged them with a herd, freezing Mark, Mi Yang, and Laika.

• Mark revealed that he had let himself be frozen deliberately, shattered the ice, and healed Mi Yang and Laika.
• Mew briefly disguised itself as a Glastrier to scare Celebi before vanishing.
• Jirachi and Caterpie returned riding the defeated Glastrier, and Mark sensed that it shared a bond like the one he had with Spectrier.

Mark investigated how Glastrier and Spectrier might transform into one another, then agreed to help Hogg's village against a bandit gang. At the bandits' hideout, Laika discovered that the supposed villains were his own family and village.

• Mark theorized that Glastrier and Spectrier transformed into each other after death and decided to investigate their ecology in the Frozen Tundra.
• Hogg arrived on a Frosmoth, introduced himself as a hunter, and asked Mark to help save his village from bandits.
• Laika suspected the bandits might be the enemies who had driven him from his childhood home, and Mark agreed to accompany Hogg.
• As Hogg described the bandits' crimes, Laika recognized the familiar scenery along their route.
• At the Bandit Lair, Laika realized the people Hogg called evil bandits were his own family and village.

Laika broke down after recognizing his clan’s bandit village and accepting that its destruction was deserved, while Mi Yang reflected on how difficult it was to change a worldline. Mark disappeared toward a nearby mountain, where he watched the Bandit Camp with Calyrex as a strange image appeared in their minds.

• Laika recognized the distant Bandit Lair as his home and wept as he recalled his clan’s crimes and impending destruction.
• Mi Yang considered how Laika’s situation showed that changing a worldline was nearly impossible, while Jirachi suggested that Laika forget everything with a Memory Potion.
• Jirachi noticed that Mark had vanished, and the Pokémon followed his sensed location toward a mountain peak.
• Hogg followed on his Frosmoth but was blocked by an icy snowstorm, while the Pokémon passed through it.
• Jirachi and Mew reached the mountaintop and found Mark watching the Bandit Camp beside Calyrex.
• A buzzing sound rang out, and an image appeared in the minds of Mark and the Pokémon present.

Mark learned that Calyrex had foreseen the coming Night of Extermination and would eventually die before being reborn thousands of years later. He persuaded Calyrex to freeze itself for future treatment, then decided to change the village’s fate by capturing its inhabitants and judging them with Memory Potion.

• Calyrex showed Mark visions of its battle against Eternatus, its rescue by Laika’s ancestor, and the future destruction of the Bandit Camp.
• Mark explained that Calyrex had once planned to protect Laika’s descendants, and he learned that Calyrex had frozen Laika because its life was fading.
• Calyrex showed Mark how it would die and later be reborn, so Mark proposed freezing it until the future and treating it in Clear Stream Village.
• Mark asked Celebi to travel through time and space, then returned with Calyrex to Mi Yang and Laika.
• Mark ordered Hogg to help capture the Bandit Village’s more than two hundred inhabitants so they could be judged with Memory Potion, with the guilty killed and the others frozen for future labor in Clear Stream Village.

Mark and his companions burned the Bandit Camp and let young Laika escape, carefully preserving the events that led to Laika’s future journey to find Calyrex. After Celebi confirmed they could remain in the past for about ten days, Mark invited Hogg to join them for Combat Training.

• Mark and his Pokémon reduced the Bandit Camp’s residents through interrogation, burned the camp, and sent young Laika away with villagers whose memories Mark had altered.
• Jirachi and the others questioned why Mark had spared young Laika, and Mark explained that changing Laika’s past could create a Time Paradox and endanger their world.
• Mark revealed that burning the camp and incapacitating Philys and the Beast Tamers helped recreate the events in Laika’s memories and keep him alive.
• Calyrex showed Mark that young Laika would live on the tundra’s outskirts before returning as a middle-aged man to seek Calyrex.
• Celebi estimated that the group could remain in the past for about ten more days, and Mark invited Hogg to train with them.

Mark helped Hogg complete a hundred-day cultivation session, then reunited with Calyrex forty-three years later to carry out their plan across time. Back in the future, Mark and the Pokémon discovered a Stone Tablet Hogg had arranged to reveal after three thousand years.

• Mark sent Hogg back to the snowfields and warned him that Calyrex's Land of Abundance would become uninhabitable as Calyrex weakened.
• Mark and the others returned to the past after forty-three years, where Calyrex woke from its planned slumber and joined Mark in the Frozen Tundra.
• Calyrex froze Laika and his Wyrdeer, then Mark buried the Wyrdeer while Calyrex chose a site a thousand meters underground for its own long sleep.
• Jirachi carried Mark and the others back to the future three thousand years later, where an explosion beneath the snow drew their attention.
• Jirachi and Mew uncovered red crystal fragments and a Stone Tablet depicting Mark, the Pokémon, and their companions, and Mark realized Hogg had arranged the discovery.
• Mark stopped Jirachi and Mew as they tried to carve on the Stone Tablet.

Mark uncovered how Hogg and Calyrex had arranged a delayed warning three thousand years earlier, then led a team of Pokémon to revive the ice-sealed Calyrex. Calyrex awakened as Shiny Calyrex and glimpsed a peaceful scene from his own future.

• Mark found traces of Calyrex in the bomb fragment and inferred that Hogg had awakened Calyrex during their second journey through time.
• Three thousand years earlier, Hogg enlisted Calyrex to stop a battle between Fighting-type Zapdos and Glastrier and Spectrier, then left the stele and delayed bomb as a warning for Mark’s return.
• Mark brought the stele to Fallen Sky Mountain and located Calyrex sealed beneath the place where he had buried him.
• Mark and numerous Pokémon used their healing powers to restore Calyrex, who transformed into Shiny Calyrex and opened his eyes.
• Calyrex saw a glimpse of his own future, in which he sat contentedly beside a stone table with a steaming drink.

Calyrex visited Third Uncle's yard in Clear Stream Village and discovered its new Incredible Harvest power, which made the food Shaymin had buried grow back as fresh packaged snacks. After testing the ability, Calyrex realized its vision of drinking coffee with Jirachi was coming true just over an hour after it had first seen it.

• Calyrex sat at the stone table in Third Uncle's yard, where Jirachi explained that Shaymin's buried food had caused a foul smell.
• Calyrex asked Jirachi what it had been drinking in its vision, then enjoyed a sugarless latte while Jirachi found it too bitter.
• Calyrex learned that Shaymin had buried food to save for later and decided to test its new Incredible Harvest power.
• Calyrex struck the ground with its golden scepter, causing plants to grow packaged food from the buried provisions, and Jirachi sampled the fresh snacks.
• Jirachi asked whether Calyrex could grow Memory Potions, Hypnosis Guns, and phones, then wondered if it could grow extra arms and heads for itself.
• Calyrex returned to its coffee as its vision clarified, revealing that the scene would happen a little over an hour after it first saw it.

Calyrex explored its new power to grow coffee at different stages of processing, and Mark subdued it after learning it had recovered. Jirachi immediately released Shiny Nihilego and proposed fusing with Calyrex while riding Spectrier.

• Jirachi stomped away after its plan to grow extra heads and arms failed, and Calyrex experimented with growing coffee beans into trees.
• Calyrex used its power to grow seven coffee plants that revealed the stages of coffee production, including a real tree bearing coffee cherries.
• Mark returned after rescuing the frozen villagers and Pokemon, expelled Laika from Clear Stream Gym, and left Laika with his ancient Wyrdeer.
• Mark asked about Calyrex's condition, then placed it in a Pokeball and subdued it.
• Jirachi released Calyrex from the Pokeball, put Shiny Nihilego on its head, retrieved Spectrier, and proposed fusing with Calyrex.

Jirachi welcomed Mew into the fusion plan, while Spectrier’s renewed memories and fusion with Jirachi unlocked repeated transformations and a hybrid form. Meanwhile, Sun Jun searched for Shaymin because Blue Enchantress was due to visit the next day, and Shaymin returned with news of Calyrex and promised to help hide him.

• Mew agreed to become Mark’s Pokémon, entered a Dive Ball, and joined Jirachi’s fusion plans.
• Jirachi fused with Spectrier, whose recovered memories led it to transform between Spectrier and Glastrier before settling into a hybrid form.
• Sun Jun and his evolved Weezing searched the garbage dump for Shaymin, worried because Shaymin was missing and Blue Enchantress would arrive the next day.
• Shaymin returned and told Sun Jun that Mark had uncovered Calyrex and many long-frozen people and Pokémon near the village.
• Shaymin regurgitated food and wrappers it had saved, then assured Sun Jun it would keep him hidden from Blue Enchantress.

Sun Jun and Shaymin entered Fallen Sky Forest to look into the danger surrounding Blue Enchantress, but they encountered John Two as his memories destabilized. John Two recognized Du Wei, who revealed that Fourth Prince had given him authority over western Hia and that he needed manpower.

• Sun Jun worried that Blue Enchantress might be caught by Clear Stream Gym and exposed their connection, so he followed Shaymin into Fallen Sky Forest.
• Shaymin explained that Clear Stream Gym's people were hidden nearby and suggested Sun Jun could ask Mark for help, but Sun Jun refused to reveal himself.
• Sun Jun spotted the Mysterious Oddball from the village garbage dump and recalled the strange Memory Potion and Hypnosis Gun associated with him.
• John Two saw Du Wei and struggled with Confusion of Consciousness as his memories collided.
• Du Wei told Lei Meng that Fourth Prince had entrusted him with western Hia's affairs and that he was seeking manpower.
• John Two stood up and accused Du Wei of intending to use Fourth Prince as his puppet.

Rainbow R Organization members from parallel worlds arrived and clashed with Mark’s group after space was sealed. Sun Jun regained consciousness afterward, with Mark telling him to add a point at nine that night and alarming him by revealing he had accumulated two Points.

• John Two revealed the tracking and communication equipment in his mechanical forearm, and fourteen people from other worlds arrived, including several Lei Mengs, Du Weis, and Mi Yang.
• The arriving group restrained Du Wei and his Jolteon, while John Two drank a Memory Potion and hypnotized himself before asking Mi Yang to take him away.
• Cai Chen and the Blue Magician, Lan Xin, discovered that the nearby space was sealed and that they could not use their travel methods to escape.
• Mewtwo, Mark, Jirachi, Mew, and others appeared with Flaming, John, George, and the elite Gym Members, setting off a battle that left Sun Jun unconscious.
• Shaymin woke Sun Jun and showed him the unconscious Lan Xin, while Mark told Sun Jun to add a point at nine that night after noting he had accumulated two Points.

Sun Jun helped Mew interrogate Du Wei and Blue Enchantress, learning that Blue Enchantress was the transmigrator Lan Xin. Lan Xin revealed the Mysterious League, a winter competition that upgraded transmigrators’ cheat-panel permissions and let them meet and exchange information.

• After Mark disappeared, Mew and Shaymin questioned Du Wei and Blue Enchantress, while Mew asked Sun Jun to help continue the interrogations.
• Sun Jun accepted Mew’s friend request and received videos from Jirachi about interrogation and memory modification.
• Sun Jun questioned Du Wei about the Rainbow R Organization and its knowledge of transmigrators, but Du Wei knew little because of his limited clearance.
• Sun Jun learned that Blue Enchantress was Lan Xin, a Legendary Trainer and fellow transmigrator.
• Lan Xin told Sun Jun that qualifying for the World Pokemon Alliance Champion League unlocked access to the Mysterious League, where transmigrators could compete, earn rewards, and exchange information.

Sun Jun learned about the Mysterious League and realized his predecessor had come to Clear Stream Village to grow stronger for it. After the Rainbow R Organization’s attack ended, Lan Xin and Du Wei were given new identities in the village, and Sun Jun finally used his Points.

• Sun Jun questioned Lan Xin about the Mysterious League and learned about its tournament rewards and the Transmigrators’ guesses about its purpose.
• Sun Jun concluded that his predecessor had come to Clear Stream Village to prepare for the Mysterious League and recognized Mark as his former Instructor Mark.
• Shaymin and Mew returned after healing Third Uncle, and Jirachi arrived to help move the unconscious captives.
• Flaming recorded the interrogation results, destroyed five Rainbow R Organization members, and assigned Du Wei and Lan Xin new identities as Du Sanlu Er and Lan Sanji.
• At nine in the evening, Sun Jun finally pressed the Points onto his cheat panel.

Mark entered Sun Jun’s Dream Cultivation World and found Sun Jun training Koffing’s Smog, offering guidance while using the extra time to consider what martial arts cultivation came after the Embracing the Dan realm. He concluded that his Aura Power already achieved effects associated with Gang Strength and Imperishable Soul, leaving the next stage unclear.

• Mark noticed that Sun Jun’s Dream Cultivation World remained incomplete, though it gave him extra training time for as long as Sun Jun could endure.
• Mark saw that Shaymin had let garbage pile up at Clear Stream Village’s dump because it could not eat it all, and he decided the waste needed attention before it affected the natural veins.
• Mark found Sun Jun training Koffing’s Smog while hungry and told him to keep pursuing the goal of returning the move to simplicity.
• Mark failed to bring more Pokémon into Sun Jun’s Dream Cultivation World and could not contact Cresselia, so he turned to his martial arts training.
• Mark considered Gang Strength and Imperishable Soul and recognized that his Aura Power already provided their offensive, defensive, and perceptive effects.

After Sun Jun’s Dream Cultivation World collapsed, Mark returned to Clear Stream Gym and decided to help Dark Celebi by saving Mi Yang from World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel. He claimed they could do so without causing a Time Paradox.

• Mark considered Shattering the Void with Martial Prowess as his next martial goal and used Teleport to study how space felt.
• Sun Jun endured eighty-four years of cultivation before suffering a mental breakdown, which collapsed the Dream Cultivation World and forced him and Mark out.
• Mark concluded that Cosmic Power could permanently strengthen his body and chose to develop that ability before pursuing his ideas about space.
• Mark returned to Clear Stream Gym, gathered the others, and said it was time to help Dark Celebi.
• Little Mi Yang warned that saving Mi Yang could cause a Time Paradox, but Mark said they now had a way to save him without one.

Mark and his companions traveled to World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel to save Mi Yang without triggering a Time Paradox, planning to revive him at the moment of his death and freeze him with Calyrex’s power. They arrived seven years in the past, where Youth Mi Yang began preparing for the coming battle between Mewtwo and Mew, and Mark sensed Celebi’s growing trust and closeness toward him.

• Mark explained that they would travel to Mi Yang’s death, revive him unnoticed, and freeze him with Calyrex’s power so Dark Celebi could return to normal.
• Calyrex agreed to help, and Celebi eagerly joined the rescue while Jirachi, Mew, and the others dressed as transdimensional agents.
• Mark, the two Mi Yangs, and the Pokémon used Shiny Celebi and the Rainbow R Organization’s device to travel to World Number Fifty-Seven Parallel.
• Dark Celebi provided the time-travel anchor, and Mark, Youth Mi Yang, and several Pokémon arrived in Iron Tower Town in Manzhou Province, seven years in the past.
• Youth Mi Yang used his modified Pokémon Index to check the date and explained that Mewtwo and Mew’s battle was expected on June 19.
• Mark said the battle should occur at roughly the same time as in his world, and Celebi’s agreement conveyed its trust and closeness toward him.
