Chapter 31 Paul's Reason
It is already 3:00 when the trainers returned to Christopher's house.
"Why would you do that Paul?" Max questioned in a distressed way.
"You know that we lost an opportunity there!" Barry continued.
"I didn't do that for a reason…" Paul said while he is somewhat smiling "He reminds me of me before I met Aslan…"

"It appears to be that you would not be convinced until I say to you how you treated your fellow men, and even if I say to you, you wouldn't believe." The Lion said.
"Yeah and that… wait, how did you know about that?" Paul was surprised on what the Lion said.
"Because I know you from the time of your birth, how you grew up, and how you lived your life. I also know that you are thinking how come this being is saying things like this and you are about to ask in your mind that this guy is just a Psychic-type Pokémon that I will answer a no." Paul was surprised.
"How did you know that?"
"I am the One who ordered the creation of this dimension."
"But I thought Arceus created the world?" Dawn asks.
"Dawn, I think you forgot that Arceus has deeds to do before creating the world. Looks like the source of those deeds are now found." Kenny replied.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
"I mean, this guy's innocent!" Ash remarked as they are seeing a bunch of people appealing the death of someone who didn't do anything wrong.
"Perhaps it wasn't at all." Paul said. "Even I don't understand things in here, but I did remember something about the Law."
"What is that?"
"In civil law, a ransom is paid for someone who committed the crime to be guilty. Isn't it possible that this guy is actually paying something he didn't commit?" Ash just looks back at the man.
"But Paul, no man could ever pay that ransom for us! We are ordered to die, right?" Dawn said.
"That's the case. Unless…" Paul suddenly stopped.
"Don't tell me…" Max said.
"But that's impossible! There is no way Aslan would do that!" Barry said.
"Besides, that's a human, not a giant, golden-haired beast-thingy." Dawn comments
"I'm just stating all the possibilities. I myself failed the test. But there is a reason why we are sent in this timeline, more likely to know something." Paul said in a calmly and humbly way. The judge then allowed the crowd to seize the man and the man was forced to carry a long, giant, horizontal, block of wood on his back.
~O~O~O~O~O~O~
As Paul is seeing the horror of the suffering the man is taking, he is a bit skeptical until…
"Paul…" a voice said "How long will you not believe?"
"That voice…" Paul remarked "You better explain this well you mysterious Lion."
"I did it all for you. Look at the man closely…" Paul looked at the man closely and noticed that…
"He's smiling?" Paul remarked.
"For you. In everything that you have did, you are forgiven thru His Death."
Something struck on Paul's heart and he begins to see a vision of all the wrong doings he has done, written on a long scroll on which the man walks. He could read it all even from the time he held a grudge on someone. Somehow, his heart of stone was melted away when he noticed that every time the man drips blood on the scroll, it overflowed and covered the whole scroll. Right after that, the pool of blood dried out into a whitish color, covering the whole scroll as if he committed nothing at all...
"The old me was supposedly long gone…" Paul remarked "…and he nearly reminded me of that."
"Anyways, how are we going to warn them?" May questioned, remembering what happened during that time.
"We have to think of every way we could…" Paul said "However, does anyone know what Aslan is talking about regarding the invasion in Dimmsdale?"
"Regarding that…" Max said "…KND seems to prepare on it that would happen on February 14."
"Now that brings us more problems than before…" Paul said. "Time here travels faster than the other world. It means that anytime within this week, they could invade this world as well!"
"But why didn't we stay to warn them properly?" Drew suggested.
"Simply because he won't believe and he is sticking to that letter that is edited…" Paul remarked. "We have to plan the next approach properly and we must do it responsibly and not plunge this world to panic…"
"I do appreciate your concern…" Christopher steps in the scene "… but I heard that the Interspace is going to open tomorrow morning."
"Do you know what that is?" Paul asks the old man.
"It is a place where bakugan like me would join the fight against others." Christohpher's Tuskor said. He then tucks in ball form and said "I won't be joining in that tournament."
"Then we have a plan alright…" Paul said.
Back to the interspace…
"Marucho, this is a weird code…" Ren remarked as he is trying to upload some data. "I remember of not putting this in here…"
"What is that?" Marucho remarked.
"This code seems to be encoded by someone else other than me…"
On a dark corner…
"Operation Code Blank secured…" a mystery voice said.
"Go back to Dimension 001…" an English Voice said "…on January 31 timeline here. The invasion tomorrow there will be aligned to our Valentine attack…"
