I run an orphanage in the Pokémon world.

In an instant, the beacon mission flashed through Teng Shu's mind. He seemed to understand why this beacon mission was telling him to take it slow, because this mission was simply not for humans.

If, if Tengshu's cursed doll hadn't taken out this little cursed doll, and had accidentally broken it, revealing the note inside, would he have been able to enter this strange dream world? Would he have been able to discover the abandoned Pokémon hidden here?

Teng Shu opened his mouth.

"So that's how it is." Teng Shu pursed his lips; he understood now.

However, how can he bring back that abandoned Pokémon?

Teng Shu caught his breath and ran towards the green light, but when he got there, he couldn't see anything. There was only a group of Pokémon scattered on the grassland, all of them were Pokémon that had just died.

"A cycle, life and death, an endless reincarnation." Teng Shu thought of the gray light, the gray light that had devoured all life around it, while the green light just now seemed to have given these Pokémon and this world new life. So, if that's the case...

Tengshu glanced at the Pokémon.

These Pokémon have blank, numb eyes, just like NPCs in a game.

"So what exactly is going on?" Teng Shu had a headache. He felt like he had come into contact with something, something troublesome.

This beacon mission is likely to be completely different from previous beacon missions, and the difficulty is far greater.

Chapter 560 The Traces of Time for Pokémon (Part 2)

Teng Shu rested his chin on his hand, looking at the Pokémon in front of him. The little guys were moving around everywhere, but they looked ordinary and there was nothing unusual about them.

But when he thought about how those little guys had fled in such a sorry state, and about that strange green light, Teng Shu felt as if he had touched on something. However, he still lacked something concrete to prove his point. Under such circumstances, Teng Shu naturally needed to think of some ways to solve these problems.

"But those white claw marks just now..." Teng Shu pondered. He thought of those white claw marks, which were so large and widespread that they were shocking. This made Teng Shu realize that this might not be the first time the Pokémon had done this. And under such circumstances, these Pokémon seemed to be experiencing some strange things.

Just as Tengshu was pondering, thinking about continuing to wait and see which Pokémon that green light and strange panel corresponded to, Tengshu heard his phone ring, and then he was pulled out of the dream.

When Teng Shu opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling, but at that moment he yawned sleepily. He was very sleepy, extremely sleepy.

It feels like I've been up all night.

If he were still young, Teng Shu wouldn't have thought much about staying up all night. After all, when he was young, he could stay up all night and still have the energy to go to school and attend classes. He would then go back to his dormitory in the afternoon and fall asleep immediately. But for Teng Shu now, staying up all night is an extremely torturous thing.

Now, when Tengshu stays up all night, he feels like he's about to die on the spot, it's suffocating, and that's the feeling Tengshu is having right now.

"Ha...doesn't this count as sleeping?" Teng Shu got up, rubbed his face, looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and had a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He originally thought this would count as sleeping, which would make it easier for him to resolve the issue and live a happy life. But to his surprise, this time it wasn't sleeping at all.

Teng Shu felt like he had been tricked.

At this moment, he desperately needed some sleep, but he still needed to get up and do things. However, holding the warm quilt, Teng Shu felt as if he had been sealed onto the bed by the old-fashioned quilt and could not move.

However, the thought of what might happen if he didn't go out this time, resulting in some unpleasant consequences, such as Pokémon being abandoned outside and dying because he didn't go out, made him really unable to sleep at night. With this thought in mind, Tengshu sighed, then silently got up and changed his clothes.

"It's not easy to use cheats these days," Teng Shu sighed. His system had given him a cheat, but the problem was that the tasks associated with it made Teng Shu, who was already thirty-two years old, experience all-nighters again, which was simply suffocating.

Teng Shu sighed, then changed his clothes, yawned, and went out. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Diancie, who was engrossed in reading a book. Diancie waved happily at Teng Shu as a greeting.

It's not that Diancie is no longer willing to greet people in a normal way, but rather that Tire is still sleeping, and Diancie obviously doesn't want to disturb Tire, so she chose this silent greeting method.

However, seeing Diancie's energetic appearance, Tengshu still went over and quietly asked Diancie if she had any unique skills, such as something that could rejuvenate people. Diancie shook her head apologetically, and then Tengshu realized that a Rock-type Pokémon like Diancie really didn't need to sleep.

For a moment, Teng Shu felt a little dejected and was about to leave with a gloomy face. Just as he arrived at the gate of the orphanage, he saw A-Kai's phone floating towards him. Teng Shu yawned; he was so sleepy that he could barely walk.

[Dean, you don't seem to have slept well? Do you need any help?] This message appeared on Kai's phone. Teng Shu nodded immediately upon seeing it. He definitely needed help, very much so, since Teng Shu was the type who needed help right now.

But how does Akai plan to help him?

Just as he was thinking this, Teng Shu felt a jolt throughout his body, and the drowsiness and fatigue he had felt earlier seemed to be shaken off all at once. Teng Shu was also instantly refreshed, which surprised him. Could superpowers do that?

【Dean, this kind of recovery shouldn't be used casually. Get some sleep next time】Akai's phone continued to alert him. Tengshu nodded, but he was also a little worried. If he kept having that strange dream from the morning, then Tengshu felt that nothing he did would be meaningful. After all, he couldn't sleep at all in his dream, which was very absurd.

Tengshu had some guesses about the ability that Kai used. According to what Tengshu knew, there were indeed some similar moves in the current Pokémon world that could restore a person's spirit. After all, Pokémon moves are all kinds of strange and wonderful, and some moves even have some ridiculous special abilities, such as moves that can change the weather.

In reality, this kind of move would be quite abnormal. After all, the ability to summon wind and rain, and even create hail and sandstorms, would make one a god in their past life. But once Pokémon master it, they use it with incredible skill and naturalness.

However, the range and power are difficult to control, and among them, the divine beasts are the most powerful, with some extreme divine beasts able to affect an entire region.

However, the League has some explicit restrictions and requirements on such techniques that restore a person's spirit. In other words, if the requirements are not met, then it cannot be used.

Of course, if you use the alliance privately, the people in the alliance won't know, and naturally they won't be able to catch you. But the problem is, this could very likely lead to some extremely troublesome things, such as sudden death or something like that.

There are cases like this. One overworked office worker, in order to earn money, would keep his Pokémon in good condition every day. He worked diligently for half a month without sleeping. His boss praised him and was preparing to promote him, but he suddenly died at his workstation. So the League set up very strict rules, but they are not particularly strict. They are just to protect the lives of those people to the greatest extent possible.

Even so, a significant number of people still die suddenly every year.

After leaving the orphanage, Teng Shu made his usual rounds, but found nothing again. This relieved him; otherwise, he would have been restless and had nightmares even while lying in bed.

"Thankfully, nothing serious has happened, but..." Teng Shu rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache. Although he had managed to solve part of the problem with Kai's help, what to do next? That was a very daunting question.

Ultimately, we still need to find a way to solve this beacon mission.

Teng Shu used the Anywhere Door to return to his hotel. He didn't really want to go out today; he just wanted to sleep. Although Kai had helped him recover from his mental fatigue, the weariness deep in his body and soul still lingered. With that thought in mind, Teng Shu lay down on the bed, yawned, and fell asleep.

Immediately afterwards, Teng Shu arrived at that mysterious space again. Teng Shu looked around in confusion, wondering why he had come here again.

Is this reasonable?

He really just wanted to get some sleep!

Teng Shuren was completely numb.

But the next second, Tengshu noticed something was wrong.

In front of him, a Piplup was tilting its head and looking at him. Teng Shu paused for a moment, then tentatively took a step to the left. The Piplup's eyes were also fixed on Teng Shu. Teng Shu was now certain that the Piplup could see him.

But I couldn't see it yesterday.

At that time, the vines could even pass directly through Bogaman.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu tentatively reached out his hand, and then he touched Bogarman's head. The feeling was magical, like touching a penguin.

“…” Teng Shu paused for a moment.

I actually managed to touch it.

Just outrageous.

What exactly is going on?

Just then, Tengshu heard a low growl of alertness and vigilance. He turned his head and saw Greninja, which was looking at him warily with a bunch of water shuriken in its hand.

"I..." Teng Shu knew that Greninja suspected him of wanting to harm Piplup, which was why it was acting this way. Teng Shu quickly tried to explain, but before he could speak, Greninja turned around and looked at him, then let out a sharp cry.

Tengshu subconsciously looked up and saw a cloud of gray mist. Then, an ominous gray light spread out. Tengshu's pupils dilated in shock at the sight. Piplup and Greninja were already running away frantically, and Tengshu quickly followed.

Previously, Tengshu was bold because it couldn't be affected, but now, Tengshu can be touched by these Pokémon. Tengshu doesn't know if this gray thing that works on Pokémon will have the same effect on it.

At the same time, Teng Shu also saw a large group of Pokémon running around him. These Pokémon were all in a panic, obviously all of them were trying to escape the gray fog.

However, as Teng Shu was panting, he suddenly realized a problem.

he.

I can't sense the emotions of these Pokémon.

This is very abnormal. After Teng Shu came in, he did not sense any emotions. He did not block the emotional sensing here. He even actively let go of the sensing, but he still could not feel any emotions.

"Is it because this strange dream is suppressing my senses?" Teng Shu had a guess in his mind, but he couldn't be sure, since he hadn't sensed any other emotions after entering this strange dream.

The gray fog spread quickly. Although the vine was fast, it was still much slower than these Pokémon. Almost instantly, the fog caught up with the vine. Although the vine tried to speed up, it still couldn't outrun the gray fog.

Just as Tengshu was about to be entangled by the gray mist, he felt something grab him. Turning his head, he saw that it was Greninja. The creature was pulling him along and running very fast. Although its arm was trembling, it was still holding his hand firmly.

Teng Shu was somewhat taken aback. He hadn't expected Greninja to be willing to help him, especially since they had almost been at odds just moments before.

With Greninja's help, Tengshu's speed increased even more, and soon he saw the wall ahead. The Pokémon were stacked together in perfect unison, constantly trying to dig through the wall with their claws and moves.

Greninja released its grip and threw a shuriken, but the wall remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Teng Shu rushed over as well. Now was not the time to talk. He had seen the help Greninja had given him, and he naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

So Teng Shu rushed over, but he didn't have any tools and could only try to attack the wall in front of him with his martial arts skills, but to no avail.

Tengshu's fist hurt. He kept punching the same spot, but it didn't work. The Pokémon around him were looking at him with strange eyes. Greninja even nodded at him.

Teng Shu felt that he had gained initial acceptance from these little guys.

The Pokémon nearby were digging frantically, and the sound, like fingernails scratching a blackboard, made Tengshu feel itchy all over.

At that moment, a chill swept over them, and the previously noisy sounds around them suddenly seemed to stop abruptly. Teng Shu turned his head and saw that the gray mist had arrived, and the Pokémon began to lose their vitality.

However, the weaker Pokémon stood on the outermost edge, leaving the innermost edge to the stronger Pokémon. Tengshu watched as Piplup died instantly and collapsed to the ground, while Greninja continued to dig, trying to create an escape route.

In no time at all, all of these Pokémon died.

Teng Shu stood there alone, unharmed. The gray mist simply passed by Teng Shu and had no effect on him.

The world fell silent.

Teng Shu stood alone in this desolate world, silently watching the Pokémon around him. He realized that the claw marks on the wall were made by these Pokémon trying to scratch them. How long had they been doing this?

It took more than a thousand meters.

The unit of time is not kilometers, Teng Shu knows, but the dense marks on the wall that stretches for more than a thousand meters are a testament to the passage of time.

“…” Teng Shu took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards the place where he had seen the green light earlier. He wanted to see what that green light was all about.

Teng Shu had a premonition that he would uncover the secrets of this place.

This premonition was extremely strong.

Chapter 561 The Flower of Immortality - Flower and Leaf Stem

Tengshu ran very fast.

He remembered that after this gray thing appeared last time, it quickly took the lives of these Pokémon. After it took them, the gray mist disappeared, and then a green light appeared. The light seemed to be emitted by a Pokémon, but he couldn't be sure what was going on.

Teng Shu ran as fast as he could, wanting to quickly determine what this thing was and what he needed to do for this beacon mission.

Teng Shu was panting heavily, but he still managed to reach the approximate location where the green light had appeared earlier. Teng Shu looked around, but the place was completely silent, and he couldn't see anything. Teng Shu didn't know if this was the right place, since he had been at the edge of the area and had only seen the light emanating from here.

"I hope so, otherwise I can't keep going without sleep for long." Teng Shu breathed a sigh of exhaustion. He wanted to sleep but couldn't. If this dream continued, Teng Shu didn't know how long he could endure it. After all, according to records, the longest experiment was a continuous wakefulness lasting eleven days.

That means not sleeping for eleven days, while the other party was completing a scientific experiment and was supervised by experts throughout the process.

It was okay at first, but later on, problems such as inattention, memory loss, and hallucinations began to appear. However, it is said that there is no permanent damage, but it is not recommended to try it.

After all, even the Guinness World Records, which requires verification for every little thing, has revoked the record for the person who has not slept for the longest time. Moreover, the brain is a very delicate organ. When a person sleeps, the brain gets rest and clears metabolic waste to avoid problems. So this is one of the reasons why people need to sleep.

Furthermore, according to subsequent experiments, animals that were completely restricted from sleeping often died within two to three weeks after the start of the experiment. Their immune systems collapsed, and their thermoregulation function also became problematic.

Therefore, Teng Shu does not want to experience these things himself.

Just as Teng Shu was looking around, he spotted a patch of green.

Tengshu looked on in surprise, and then saw a unique Pokémon suddenly appear in the sky. With its appearance, an intense sadness spread through Tengshu, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. Because the emotion was so strong, Tengshu even felt a discomfort in his chest.

He clutched his chest, panting heavily, then looked at the Pokémon in front of him and recognized its identity.

Mosaic stems.

The other person held a blue flower in their hand, and looked around sadly.

Teng Shu also saw the other party's interface.

【Flower and Leaf Stem】

[Fairy/?]

Immortality, inner collapse, emotional breakdown

This is a Pokémon that has gained immortality, but it is also trapped in a mental prison, suffering eternal torment day after day.

The vine opened its mouth; it was a flower petal stem, and this entry about immortality...

Teng Shu thought of the plot in the game.

There is a little-known legend circulating in the Pokémon XY games.

Legend has it that a Pokémon once gained immortality, and that Pokémon was named Flareon. Its trainer also gained immortality, but at a terrible price.

In the game XY, the plot discusses life and death, but it doesn't delve into the topic much; it's only briefly mentioned.

At this moment, the flower petal also saw the vine. Its eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it simply nodded to the vine and then let the flower in its hand hang down. A drop of green water fell down, and instantly, the whole world began to come alive again.

Teng Shu watched this scene in astonishment; the power of the flower petals was truly amazing.

Hua Ye Di landed in front of Teng Shu. Its tired eyes made Teng Shu feel a little sorry for it. Teng Shu could only reach out and pat Hua Ye Di's head. Immediately afterward, Teng Shu sensed Hua Ye Di's strong emotions, its intense regret and self-blame.
