In legends, the Balancing Civilization was an era of high civilization, a time when Balancing Pokémon and humans lived in peace!
The mysterious woman walked to a mysterious altar in the center of the secret chamber.
The altar was made of stone.
Ye Feng and Laidi arrived here.
They heard the mysterious woman say, "Laidi, the treasure of the Balancing Civilization is here. Use your Balancing Pokémon to move all these stones."
"No need, no need for so much trouble."
Ye Feng looked at the mysterious woman and smiled.
He then reached out, and all the giant stones on the altar floated into the air and were moved aside.
The mysterious woman was a little surprised, "Do you have superpowers?"
Ye Feng smiled, "You could say that."
After the stones were moved, a Balancing Pokémon was found beneath the altar.
The woman quickly walked onto the altar and picked up the Balancing Pokémon that had been buried for who knows how long, saying, "You've suffered."
Then she returned it to its Poké Ball.
She then walked off the altar and said to Laidi, "Have your Balancing Pokémon use Rapid Spin in the center of the altar."
Laidi did not doubt her and immediately had her Balancing Pokémon use the move.
Under the Rapid Spin of the Balancing Pokémon, the entire altar seemed to come alive.
A brilliant pillar of light erupted, and the Balancing Pokémon, exhausted, fell from the altar, caught by Laidi.
Then, the mysterious woman walked onto the altar, enveloped by the pillar of light.
Ye Feng and Laidi watched her.
Laidi was a little curious, "Who are you? And what treasure did you mention?"
The mysterious woman smiled.
She said, "I've been interested in archaeology since I was young, but my parents wouldn't allow it. Later, I read about the Balancing Civilization in this book and have been dedicated to researching it."
The mysterious woman took out a very old book from her pocket.
When Laidi saw the book, she was very excited, "I have it too!"
The mysterious woman smiled, "Of course you do."
Then she took off her red cloak.
She also took off her sunglasses.
Revealing a face that looked extremely similar to Laidi's.
However, this face looked to be in her forties or fifties.
But she was still charming.
"I am you from the future, Laidi."
The mysterious woman said with a smile.
This time, not only Laidi, but Ye Feng's pupils also contracted fiercely.
After all, human memory is limited, and he had forgotten much of the Pokémon plot he had watched in his past life.
Therefore, he truly knew nothing about the woman before him.
Then, the mysterious woman continued,
"This altar is the greatest treasure of the Balancing Civilization."
"The altar?"
"Yes, the altar is a time machine. The greatest treasure of the Balancing Civilization is this. I came here through this."
"My purpose in coming here is to help my past self, which is you, to start researching the Balancing Civilization earlier, and not be constrained by my parents. And I brought you here hoping you would come into contact with these things earlier, so that in the next few decades, you will delve into deeper research."
"Alright, Laidi, two identical people in the same space-time cannot coexist for too long. I must return to the future."
After speaking, she turned around before Laidi could react.
At this moment.
"Wait."
Ye Feng called out to her.
She turned to look at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng directly said, "You should recognize me, right? What is my future like?"
Since this Laidi was from the future.
She must know him.
After all, he was already so famous now.
So, Ye Feng wanted to know what his future self was like.
But the future Laidi stared at Ye Feng for a long time, then frowned,
"I'm sorry, in the future, I have never met you, nor have I heard of you."
Ye Feng: "Are you joking?"
The future Laidi: "I'm not. I really don't know who you are."
After saying that, the pillar of light disappeared, and the future Laidi returned to the future.
The altar returned to normal.
"What does this mean? She didn't know me in the future? That shouldn't be right?"
Ye Feng couldn't understand.
At this time, he saw Laidi feeding something to her Balancing Pokémon.
The Balancing Pokémon recovered its stamina.
Laidi asked it to spin in the center of the altar again.
But this time, after the Balancing Pokémon spun, nothing unusual happened.
"What's going on?"
Laidi was confused.
Ye Feng ignored the altar time machine problem.
He was still pondering how that woman in the future could not recognize him.
"Wait."
"According to this, there should be thousands upon thousands of 'me' in a timeline."
"The current me going to find last year's me, the current me going to find yesterday's me, and so on."
"This is common sense."
"But the future Laidi didn't recognize me? Is it because this timeline, no matter how it progresses, only has one 'me'?"
"Meaning, even if I travel back in time, I won't encounter my past self?"
The more Ye Feng analyzed, the more he found it chilling.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
Such theoretical problems were like adding feet to a snake for him.
At this moment.
"Laidi, it's time to go."
Ye Feng looked at Laidi.
Laidi looked at everything before her. Although she was reluctant, she nodded.
They walked to the place where they had fallen in, and with a flash of light, they returned to the tree hollow when they exited.
They walked out of the tree hollow. The outside was still the Misty Mountain.
"Laidi, what do you plan to do next?"
Ye Feng asked.
Laidi: "I plan to go back home first, and then I will start learning and researching the Balancing Civilization."
A brilliant light flickered in Laidi's eyes.
Ye Feng looked at the book she was holding tightly and felt that the people who compiled this book had never imagined that a single book could lead a child like Laidi onto a completely different path.
...
Meanwhile, while Ye Feng was in the Misty Mountain.
Near the city of Verdanturf in the Hoenn region, at the Weather Institute.
Team Magma and Team Aqua had already started fighting.
The institute contained information about the ancient Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre.
This was the reason for the conflict.
And far away in Kanto, at Silph Co.
In the research lab.
A dozen purple Poké Balls lay on the research lab table.
Silphmen picked up one of the Master Balls and admired it closely, finding it to be exquisitely beautiful.
"Young Master, this ball is temporarily completed, but it is still in the experimental stage."
Silphmen: "I know."
Silphmen was the son of the president of Silph Co., the commercial overlord of the Kanto region, who had some feigned romantic entanglements with Ye Feng and Ms. Perfect.
The one who had previously taken Ye Feng to Cinnabar Island by helicopter.
At this moment, Silphmen put these dozen Master Balls on himself.
He looked at the trainers in the research institute, all wearing unified white combat uniforms.
He said, "Next, let's go! Hoenn region!"
"Target!"
"Ancient Pokémon! Kyogre! Groudon!!!"
