Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

That's right, they're going to take on a challenge and try to capture Celebi.

Although Charizards are not as fast or as stamina-efficient as Dragonite, they are still much faster than riding a horse. Moreover, they had six Charizards this time, so they only needed to ride two at a time, alternating between them. They entered the Johto region in just six hours.

"Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Vanish, this world!" Kitagawa Yu activated the Evil King's True Eye and launched a lock-on skill.

Before coming here, he deliberately used his wish power to upgrade this skill, and now the cooldown has been shortened to two days, which is not long anymore.

"It's about 1300 kilometers away over there!"

The group immediately adjusted their direction and flew towards the direction indicated by the Evil King's True Eye.

Three hours later, the group arrived at a vast, boundless forest. When they reached the specific location marked by the lock, they did not find any trace of the rabbi, but below they saw a lake that looked like an emerald and was full of life energy.

"This must be the Lake of Life," Kitagawa Yu thought to himself.

"It seems that Celebi is active in this area. Let's split up and search!" Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"Chizuka and Irena will be in one group, Sakura and I will be in another, and Artoria and Illya will act alone. Whether you find them or not, you must return here before dark. If you encounter any problems, you can call out to me in your mind, and I can hear you."

The group then dispersed and began searching for the shrine to the lake of life.

Of course, in Kitagawa Yu's opinion, the main force this time should still be Artoria and Illya, who have already proven that luck value is still effective in this world.

As for Kitagawa Yu and the other three, let's not even mention them.

Even a witch like Elena, judging from her portrayal in the anime, seems to have rather average luck.

However, to his surprise, it wasn't Artoria and Illya who first found Celebi's trail, but rather Sakura, who was being held in Kitagawa Yu's arms like a koala.

Kitagawa Yu walked around looking around, checking left, right, front, and above, but he couldn't find any trace of Celebi.

Sakura, nestled in his arms, looked up and her gaze fell over his shoulder, landing on Celebi, who was hiding behind them and looking at them with curiosity.

"Dark circles under the eyes, bulbous head, long eyebrows, this must be Celebi, right?" Sakura blinked and quickly confirmed Celebi's identity from its unique appearance.

However, just as she was about to tell Kitagawa Yu, she suddenly hesitated.

Whether or not they manage to capture Śrāvaka now, this dispersed search will come to an end. That would also end the time she has alone with Kitagawa Yu, wouldn't it?

"Sakura is a bad girl"

Sakura muttered to herself, but ultimately decided not to tell Kitagawa Yu yet.

She even opened her small mouth and silently said to Celebi behind her, "Go away, go away, don't disturb my private time with Onii-chan."

However, this actually piqued the interest of the shrine brigade.

With its time-traveling ability, it rarely encounters danger. Coupled with a cat-like curiosity, it hesitated only for a moment before boldly approaching. It even mimicked Sakura's mannerisms, opening and closing its mouth without making a sound, asking, "What are you saying?"

"."

"Go away, go away!"

What did you say?

"I told you to get away!"

"what?"

If Kitagawa Yu were to turn around and see this scene, he would definitely have a sense of déjà vu, like Ma Shenme Mei.

However, the consequence of Sakura's failed communication was not to walk away like Charlotte, but rather to frown and directly activate the Imaginary Space.

Because it happened so suddenly, and Sakura was so small, Celebi knew that such a human child could not possibly harm him. As a result, when a dark vortex appeared in front of him, he had no time to react and crashed headfirst into it.

Then the entrance to the imaginary space closed, and Celebi was dumbfounded as he looked at the boundless, pitch-black space around him.

"Who am I? Where am I? Did that human cub do this? This is so incredibly unethical!"

When the rabbi came to his senses, he wanted to curse.

Next, it flew around in the imaginary space, and after finding that it could not find an exit, it activated its time travel ability.

However, it soon discovered to its horror that the concept of time did not exist in the imaginary space. How could it possibly travel through time in a world where the concept of time did not even exist?

This discovery left Celebi completely dumbfounded; now it finally understood what it meant for curiosity to kill the cat.

Unwilling to give up, it tried all the skills it had mastered, but unfortunately it still couldn't find a way to escape. Finally, Silavi gave up.

"Hey! You human baby! Let me out! I'm willing to submit! I'm willing to be your Pokémon! Are you listening? Let me out—"

On the other hand, Sakura simply controlled the devouring and assimilation abilities inherent in the imaginary space, without devouring Celebi, and then decided to ignore Celebi altogether.

Because her movements were very small, using only a tiny bit of magic power smaller than a hair, and it was within her own body, Kitagawa Yu didn't notice her little actions.

Two hours later, the group reunited at the shore of the Lake of Life.

"Have you had any success over there?"

"No, I didn't see any sign of the rabbi at all."

"What about over there?"

"That's the same. I've been using detection magic the whole time but haven't found it."

"And what about you guys, Yu?"

"us--"

Just as Kitagawa Yu was about to say that they hadn't found any trace of Celebi either, a small, white, and tender hand suddenly and timidly rose up.

"Um... Onii-chan, I caught Celebi?"

"???"

Everyone was stunned, and then big question marks appeared on their foreheads.

"What? Sakura, you caught Celebi? When did this happen?" Kitagawa Yu asked in confusion.

"It was shortly after we separated," Sakura explained honestly after hesitating for a moment.

The more they listened, the stranger their expressions became.

"This is hilarious!"

Was the rabbi mentally impaired back then?

"Or is it that Sakura's luck stat is actually quite high?"

Everyone couldn't help but think to themselves.

Sakura didn't care what others thought. After explaining, she timidly looked at Kitagawa Yu, waiting for his reprimand.

However, seeing her pitiful appearance, Kitagawa Yu couldn't bear to scold her; at most, he just smiled and felt helpless.

There was no way around it; Sakura was just too clingy to him.

It's okay now, but what will happen when it gets a little bigger?

"Onii-chan, aren't you angry?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Why should I be angry? You have your own reasons for doing this, and those reasons aren't bad, are they?" Kitagawa Yu smiled and patted her head.

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Kitagawa Yuu didn't blame her, then happily hugged his neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Sakura loves Onii-chan the most!"

"."

Kitagawa Yu, feeling a little guilty, avoided Chizuka and Elena's scrutinizing gazes, scratching his face before quickly changing the subject: "Alright, let's hurry up and capture Celebi!"

Everyone began to make preparations, and Elena summoned Gardevoir.

However, just as they were preparing to fight the ghati,

Celebi, which had just emerged from the void, fell to the ground with a thud, followed by a loud "gurgle~" sound coming from its obviously flattened belly.

"Heavens! You heartless human brat! Are you trying to starve me to death? I... I'd rather die than submit to you and become your Pokémon! Unless... unless you give me food right now!"

"."

"Is this a shrine?"

Chizuka and the others couldn't help but turn to look at Kitagawa Yu, but Kitagawa Yu was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Celebi in the anime is so cute, and its voice is so adorable, but what's wrong with this Celebi in front of me? Its throat is dry and not smooth at all, it's almost like a duck's.

Fortunately, the shrub was unaware of his thoughts, otherwise he might have been driven to his death by anger.

It had been trapped in the imaginary space for so long, it was exhausted and hungry, and its throat was almost hoarse from calling out, but Sakura ignored it. How could its throat not be hoarse?

Actually, it does fulfill some of Sakura's wishes.

Although Sakura can control some basic rules of the imaginary space, she hasn't reached the point where she can hear what the people trapped inside are saying.

However, she was the most composed among them, and she directly took out a bag of potato chips that she usually fed Anya from her magic pocket and tossed it to Celebi.

Celebi must have recognized potato chips; he took them, skillfully tore open the packaging, and started eating them in big bites.

"Kachi kachi——"

"Wow! Are these potato chips? They taste so good!"

"Kachi kachi——"

"My God! I've lived for thousands of years and I've never eaten such delicious potato chips!"

"Kachi kachi——"

"Alright, I'll agree to be your Pokémon for the sake of this food~"

"."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't resist taking out a carton of milk and handing it to it.

I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried it would choke on the potato chips it was eating so much.

"Thank you, brother of that rude human cub, but you must teach my master a lesson next time, so she knows that's not how you catch Pokémon!"

"..."

Although the process left Kitagawa Yu and the others somewhat bewildered, the final result was still good.

They successfully located and subdued Celebi, who possessed the ability to travel through time, in just... well, two hours. This was much faster than the protracted battle they had originally anticipated.

"So what do we do next?" Artoria asked.

Looking at her eager eyes, it's easy to guess that she can't wait to return to the Type-Moon world and see if she can use Celebi's time travel ability to travel back to the era of Camelot.
