28 volume 2 chapter 1 A World of Fun

Death was a jarring son of a bitch. I could feel my chakra and Ouro moving out of my former universe despite of the world's pull. Bastion despite being dead had a measure of sentience still. Unlike when he died the first time, he was aware of traveling. He tried speaking but Ouro either hadn't heard him or ignored him. They passed by clusters of stars, galaxies, and perhaps universes. Ouro was traveling with his soul and charka far away from the Naruto multiverse.

"We are far away from the other now. Communication is back online." Bastion felt his chakra pull itself together forming a ghostly body. "Due to my presence your chakra has mutated. The earth training has accelerated that change. You can form a physical body of chakra like the tailed beasts. Maintaining consciousness in the space between multiverses is possible." Ouro said.

"I didn't know meddling with events would have any repercussions besides a change in the future. Did you know?" Bastion asked.

"What those like you choose to do with their existence is up to them. If protecting canon is important then they will do it. We started in a universe closer to canon than most. When you messed with events it caused the universe to travel away from canon until it approached the edge of the Naruto multiverse cluster. If you continued another world would be born to replace it. Eventually your universe would be swallowed by obscurity. That is the fate of a universe that no longer orbits closely to canon." Ouro said.

"What is canon?" Bastion asked.

"The original intent behind a universe. It is the gravity that holds clusters of verses together. When a world diverges from canon it is held less by the gravity and may leave the cluster to join with another. Or it may fall into obscurity and cease to exist." Ouro said.

"What am I going to do now? I'm not ready to return to the Naruto verse. I don't want to go through life there again. Are there other multiverses we can visit? Maybe one farther from canon where any changes I make will have less impact." Bastion said.

"We are close to many multiverses. The Naruto cluster often impacts other clusters such as, the Potter, Bleach, Natsu, Dragon Ball, Fairy Tail, Highschool DXD, Inuyasha, One Piece, and Pokémon. Though currently we are nearest are Dragon Ball, Harry Potter, and Pokémon. If you are to grow, then I suggest a crossover world. A world where both plains exist in some form. Though some are closer to one than the other. Most don't have an even mix." Ouro said. He wasn't ready for things like magic right now chakra should be his primary focus, until his mastery reached a stage where he could branch off. He needed to finish his training in element mastery. He couldn't believe his own reason, but the Dragon Ball cluster was even worse. That left Pokémon.

"So, what can you tell me about the distant pokémon clusters?" Bastion asked. He could clearly see several multiverse clusters of pokémon stuck together.

"There are three clusters connected to pokémon cannon. Pokégirls a more adult theme, true monsters where pokémon are true monsters, and pocket monsters a realm where pokémon are cute little monsters. All three are close by, choose wisely. The cute little pokémon world was out. Bastion had no intention of playing one of them. The friendship speeches would get on his nerves. The monster one would be fun, but he would probably get annoyed and destroy the planet.

"Let's go to the pokégirl world." Bastion said. Just like that his body was taken and thrown towards the pokégirl world at breakneck speeds.

In a distant cluster far from the canon he was placed in a zygote. His conscious mind sealed itself for now.
