Being able to use a phone to teleport a few people together, this was truly the first time he'd encountered that.
The moment he confirmed pressing it, the Arceus Phone emitted a bright blue light.
The blue light quickly spread along Ash's palm, enveloping both Cynthia and Pikachu together.
Their figures became blurred in the blue light.
In the next moment, the light inside the small room suddenly contracted, and Ash and Cynthia had vanished from the spot.
An intense feeling of weightlessness instantly appeared.
Ash felt as if his body had flipped a few times, his sense of direction also became confused at that moment, but this feeling only lasted for a very short time.
When he regained his balance, the floor beneath was no longer the wooden boards of the small room, but slightly damp soil.
The night breeze blew against him, clearing his dizzy head a bit, Ash shook his head, suppressing the dizziness caused by the weightlessness, focusing his gaze forward.
"Pika..."
Pikachu was lying on his shoulder, looking equally bewildered, while Cynthia steadied herself by holding Ash's shoulder, regaining balance quickly.
She looked around, realizing they were on the broad road they had visited during the day.
At the end of the road, that exceptionally conspicuous giant ancient tree was still visible.
"This is the Grandtree Arena, it actually worked?!"
Ash immediately took out the Arceus Phone, the screen still displaying the map of the Hisui Region.
The blue dot representing their current location had moved from Jubilife Village to Grandtree Arena.
They had just been sitting in the small room of Jubilife Village.
In just a moment, the three of them had crossed the vast distance between Jubilife Village and the Obsidian Fieldlands.
"This phone can actually perform space teleportation!" Surprised exclamations appeared in Cynthia's eyes, "How exactly does this work? What is the principle? What consumes its use?"
Ash moved his body, aside from the brief dizziness during the teleportation, he did not feel any loss of physical strength.
The Arceus Phone did not prompt for insufficient energy either...
"Perhaps it relies on the energy generated by the Plates inside the phone for teleportation... Anyway, with this function, our actions will be much more convenient in the future!"
Ash displayed an excited smile on his face.
The Obsidian Fieldlands is very vast, even riding a Wyrdeer from Jubilife Village to Grandtree Arena would require considerable time.
Now, just by using the Arceus Phone, they can directly go to previously unlocked locations.
"Unfortunately, the Crimson Mirelands is still in a grey state." Ash tried clicking on Crimson Mirelands, but the screen showed no response, "It seems we can only teleport to areas we've personally visited."
Cynthia also looked at the dark map on Ash's phone and speculated aloud, "Maybe you need to complete the corresponding area's tasks to fully unlock that region."
"But the few locations in the Obsidian Fieldlands are already enough, tomorrow we can teleport to the closest spot to the Crimson Mirelands, and enter the Crimson Mirelands from there."
The Hisui Region is very expansive, and they still need to visit the Crimson Mirelands and Cobalt Coastlands, and might also enter Coronet Highlands and Alabaster Icelands.
If they departed from Jubilife Village every time, just the journey itself would consume a lot of time, but now that the Arceus Phone has unlocked the teleport function, they don't need to repeat paths they've already traveled.
"Let's try returning to Jubilife Village."
Ash quickly clicked on Jubilife Village, and several blue dots appeared on the screen.
One of the locations was near their residence, and once Ash chose to teleport, the blue light once again enveloped them.
In the blink of an eye, the night at Grandtree Arena vanished from sight, and Ash and Cynthia returned to the small room.
This time, both of them were prepared beforehand.
The temporary weightlessness still existed, but it wasn't as difficult to adapt to as the first time.
"Let's try Heights Camp one more time." Ash showed an eager expression, looking very excited.
"You've really got energy." Cynthia felt a little helpless, but still completed the second test with Ash.
The two first teleported to Heights Camp, then returned to Jubilife Village from there.
After a few teleportations, they were able to adapt to the spatial changes, and the initial dizziness had reduced greatly.
Ash reviewed the map again, gradually determining the current rules of the teleportation function.
The Arceus Phone can only teleport to places they've personally visited.
Before each teleport, they can select nearby people to accompany them.
Pokémon will also follow and complete the teleportation as long as they stay by the side of the person selected.
As for how many people can be selected, and whether distant companions can be teleported, it's currently unclear.
"We can slowly test these later." Cynthia placed a hand over Ash's, which was about to continue operating. "It's already very late."
"You're planning on going to the Crimson Mirelands tomorrow, you can't be teleporting back and forth between the Obsidian Fieldlands and Jubilife Village all night, right?"
"That's right." Ash thought for a moment, and put down the Arceus Phone as well.
After a busy day, his body was indeed very tired.
After a brief wash, the two quickly lay down to rest, with the Arceus Phone placed next to Ash's bed.
Currently, there are sixteen Plates left.
...
The next morning, as soon as Ash and Cynthia woke up, they received a message sent by Adaman.
Adaman had already notified Xipu in advance, and they were ready to receive them in the Crimson Mirelands.
All the two needed to do was enter the Crimson Mirelands and head to where Xipu was located.
As for Adaman himself, he still had things to handle within Team Galactic, and would meet them in the Crimson Mirelands later.
Ash and Cynthia packed things they needed to bring and prepared to leave Jubilife Village first.
They didn't intend to use the teleport function directly in the village.
The existence of the Arceus Phone was related to Plates and their way back to the modern era.
The fewer people who knew about the phone's secrets before they figured out all its functions, the better.
The two planned to find a place where no one passes after leaving the village to teleport deep into the Obsidian Fieldlands.
But just as they arrived at the entrance of Jubilife Village, they saw a familiar figure standing by the roadside.
"Rei?"
Ash immediately recognized him, Rei was one of the first people they met when they arrived in Hisui.
Over the past month, they had completed missions together and had Pokémon battles.
At that time, Rei used his own Pikachu, and Ash also used his Pikachu to battle, the strength gap was very apparent.
At this moment, Rei stood at the village entrance, looking very serious.
"Ash, I heard that you and Cynthia subdued the King of the Obsidian Fieldlands."
Ash and Cynthia exchanged a glance, Team Galactic had not yet formally announced this matter to the whole of Jubilife Village.
But Professor Laventon had personally watched the battle and subduing process yesterday, given his enthusiasm for Pokémon research, it wasn't surprising if the news spread from him.
"Did you hear it from Professor Laventon?"
"That's right."
Rei's expression was somewhat complex.
"I was next to the training ground when you battled Captain Irida yesterday."
"I personally saw you defeat Captain Irida's Espeon using your just-evolved Typhlosion."
"And after Professor Laventon returned, he said that you had defeated a more powerful King of the Obsidian Fieldlands and restored him to sanity."
"He even told the people in the village that you might be the hope to resolve the abnormal changes in Hisui."
Once Professor Laventon got excited, he apparently didn't control the range of news propagation.
Many villagers had already heard that two foreign Trainers who had been in Jubilife Village for only one month successfully subdued the King worshiped by the Pearl Clan.
However, the event was so astounding that not many were willing to believe it entirely.
Yet Rei had seen Ash defeat Irida, and he knew Ash possessed strength beyond his own.
But defeating the Pearl Clan leader's Espeon and subduing the King of the Obsidian Fieldlands were still two entirely different concepts.
"We indeed defeated Kleavor, but it was a joint effort between my sister and me, Ash did not hide.
"Kleavor is indeed very strong, if it weren't for my sister and I joining forces, it would have been difficult to handle."
This is false.jpg.
If Ash had used Pikachu or Cynthia had used Garchomp, the outcome of battling Kleavor would have been without suspense.
It's just that for the training of Typhlosion and Samurott, they chose to engage in high-intensity battles by joining forces.
"... Now that Kleavor has returned to normal, we're preparing to head to the Crimson Mirelands next."
Rei remained silent for a while, the emotion in his eyes gradually turning into intense fighting spirit.
"Ash, battle with me once more!"
