Chapter 1243: Life and Death Reincarnation (Part 3)

Even bounced elastically twice.

“Gengaa.”

Gengar was stunned.

Baimu hugged the Gray Fatty, gesturing to Demon God Hoopa not to take action, and said to the shadow, “Marshadow, do you remember this place?”

The Banette in the sky couldn’t wait and said, “You promised me he would be resurrected! Why hasn’t he come to find me yet? Did you deceive me?”

The voice fell.

The shadow rippled.

Marshadow emerged, now apparently beginning to observe everyone present and the Banette above.

Meanwhile, Demon God Hoopa suddenly opened the Light Wheel, bringing Shanren back from taking care of the Dragon-type Pokémon. Shanren was just worrying about how to contact the people underground, and was overjoyed at the sight.

“How are things going?”

He showed a strange look upon seeing Marshadow.

Baimu said to Shanren, “Grandfather Long He doesn’t seem dead; this Pokémon called Marshadow took his corpse away. Banette says Marshadow can resurrect Grandfather Long He.”

“Really?”

Shanren was delighted to hear this and asked, “So Grandfather Long He’s whereabouts—”

He suddenly froze on the spot.

Baimu noticed his astonished look and quickly turned around, immediately seeing Marshadow inexplicably pointing at him with a blank expression.

“What—”

“He is Long He’s descendant, not the one I need to find, Marshadow, we agreed on this!” Banette forcefully shook Telepathy.

Marshadow remained silent, glanced at Banette, still pointing at Baimu, “Maa ssu!”

“Baimu dear, it means you are Long He.”

Furong frowned.

Demon God Hoopa and Gengar formed an “O” shape with their mouths, Dragapult widened its eyes too.

And Banette suddenly stopped talking.

Baimu’s heart skipped a beat, nodded solemnly, “I understand… Marshadow, why do you say I am Long He? I have no memory related to Grandfather!”

Marshadow jumped back, creating a distance from everyone.

Then.

A blur shadow fell on the illuminated spot, showing a peculiar animation formed by black shadows.

The first scene depicted Banette holding Long He’s corpse crying, with a whirlpool emerging from below, from which Marshadow appeared.

The second scene showed Marshadow approaching Banette, the two engaged in conversation, and then Marshadow collected and took Long He’s remains.

The third scene depicted Marshadow arriving at a forest, finding a pillar, and lingering there for a long, long time.

The fourth scene showed Marshadow turning away from the forest, arriving at a desert town.

The fifth scene showed the Sun and Moon changing continuously until one day a large bird flew over and dropped a feather, which Marshadow caught.

The sixth scene depicted Marshadow placing the feather on a pile of bones, light erupted, burning the bones and feather to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

The seventh scene showed Marshadow suddenly with a baby in its arms, arriving at a town performing what seemed like Hypnosis on its people, then gave them the baby.

The eighth scene depicted Marshadow silently guarding the baby until he grew into a teenager, then quietly leaving.

The three present weren’t dumb, though a part describing how the skeleton and feather turned to ashes then where the baby came from was clearly missing, the content Marshadow wanted to convey silenced everyone for a time.

Marshadow pointed at Baimu again, raising its head to shout at Banette: “Maa ssu!”

“You, you! Really! No wonder you look alike! But why is the soul different? What happened?”

Banette seemed unable to accept this fact, then suddenly thought of something, got excited, and shouted, “It’s okay! You are you, it definitely won’t change! The time has come!”

Suddenly, the gray-violet whirlpool trembled.

Everyone looked up, finding Banette struggling hard to come out of it, yet it couldn’t in the end, only managed to unzip its mouth.

A little bit of light flowed out, flying toward Baimu below.

Furong’s complexion changed drastically, she suddenly lifted a bell, shouting, “Baimu dear! Quickly dodge! Don’t touch those things!”

Baimu reacted swiftly and retreated rapidly, but those lights seemed to have eyes, crazily flocking towards him, even though Furong erected a light barrier with the bell, it couldn’t stop the lights from flying in.

The lights felt like countless heavy hammers, making him dizzy and unable to stand steady.

Vaguely.

He heard Furong shouting:

“Stop! You can’t do this! You’re harming him! These fragmented memories will only cause mental chaos!”

“Impossible! Once he digests these memories! He’ll recall them! He’ll come back!” Banette shouted angrily, “I’ve waited for this day for decades!”

What the heck…

I’ve become my grandfather…

Dear big brother Arceus, what exactly are you doing?

This was Baimu’s sole thought before fainting.
