My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 104 Waterfall Cave

The wind swirls through the forest, and everything seems normal.

A gentle spring breeze blew, and the sun shone brightly. Sweet Wuni walked ahead, singing a cheerful song.

"Ama~ Ama~"

After eating that salmon rice dish a few days ago, Sweetie seemed to have suddenly had a breakthrough.

She used to be the kind of person who would act recklessly no matter what.

Lively and cheerful, but also a bit self-centered. She'll rush headlong into anything that offers an advantage, even if it's an obvious trap, she'll step right into it without hesitation.

That's because she was confident in her abilities and felt that no matter how dangerous the situation, it couldn't really hurt her.

However, after witnessing the battle between those two people and Blastoise in the valley yesterday, she realized that her own strength was far from sufficient.

To master more techniques and continue to improve their strength, they must at least be able to protect the members of the expedition team.

"Fufu~"

Looking at Mini Fu singing along with her behind her, Sweetie's resolve gradually strengthened.

One day, she will make sure that the fairy tale expedition team's footprints cover every inch of Almia.

Like those nature reserves shown on TV, and like the valley yesterday, all sorts of secret places hidden in the world can't stop the footsteps of adventure, no matter where they are!

"Oh my!"

Sweetie raised her little hand and announced with high spirits.

Mini Fu didn't quite understand why Sweet Wuni was suddenly so energetic, but she was still infected by her emotions and nodded vigorously: "Fufu!"

The two Celebi smiled at each other in the air. They could sense the positive change in Tenny's mindset and were happy for her growth.

The four Pokémon wandered around Windswept Forest for a while and eventually arrived at the foot of the famous waterfall.

"Oh my!"

Sweet Wuni still remembers that when she was still Sweet Bamboo, she once encountered the Giant Vine here with the Forest Turtle.

The giant vine carried them up to the top and took out an incredible treasure!

"Ah, ah, ah!" Sweet Wuni gestured with her hands, explaining the Gears of Time to Mini Fu.

"Fou?" MiniFou tilted her head, then remembered that it seemed to have happened on the first day she and Salt Stone Treasure arrived at Fairy Tale Ranch.

"La-hua—"

The two Celebi immediately turned serious upon hearing about the Gears of Time. That thing was very important and couldn't be taken out to play with casually.

They already taught them a lesson for taking the giant vines so casually last time.

Seeing how focused the two Celebi were, Steenie gave up on her plan to search for the giant vine. However, the waterfall was still a spectacular sight no matter how many times she saw it.

It makes you want to jump into the water and play just by looking at it!

"Fufu?"

Shortly after they ran into the pool below the waterfall, Minifu suddenly looked up and cried out in surprise.

"Huh?"

Sweet Wuni looked in the direction and saw that there was a cave hidden behind the waterfall.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow; it would be difficult to spot unless you were standing behind the waterfall and looking carefully.

The cave is less than half a meter in size, just big enough for Mini Fu to stand and walk in.

"Wow?" The two Celebi didn't seem to know there was a cave here either. They shone their Flash spells around and found that it looked quite deep inside.

"Oh my!"

Sweetie instantly became interested; she never expected to make a new discovery in a place she had visited several times. There must be other secrets hidden inside this cave!

Sweetie immediately decided to take action, and the two Celebi, unable to resist her, had no choice but to agree to go inside and investigate.

With a "whoosh," the two Celebi crawled into the cave, using Flash to clear the way ahead, while Slimie crawled behind.

Mini-F, the smallest and most mobile of the three, stayed behind.

The four Pokémon continued forward through the narrow cave. At first, it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for a person to pass through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious place.

"La hoo?"

Unexpectedly, there was a huge space inside the cave. The two Celebi flew into the air and used Flash to illuminate the cave.

"Huh?" "Fou?"

Sweetie and Mini Fu followed behind as they walked out of the tunnel, also looking at the huge space inside the cave with amazement.

The cave was very quiet; the only sound was the dripping of water, and even the sound of the waterfall at the entrance could not be heard.

Thanks to Celebi's Flash ability, the four Pokémon were finally able to see their surroundings.

Everywhere was deep blue, and in some places there were specks of moss that emitted a faint glow.

In the distance, there was a huge lake, indicating that this was a cave with an underground lake.

"Oh my!" Slimie walked ahead, wanting to see where the cave led. The two Celebi were equally curious, so they followed along with Minif.

They carefully made their way along the edge of the underground lake.

The lake was exceptionally clear and calm, reflecting the soft glow emanating from the shrine and the shimmering light of the moss dotting the rock walls—a breathtaking sight.

After walking for a while, a bend appeared ahead.

Just as she rounded the corner, Sweetie suddenly stopped, letting out a short, surprised gasp: "Oh my!"

There were several people standing in a relatively open area by the lake!

Sweetie quickly shut up, and the two Celebi also withdrew their Flash, trying not to attract attention.

"Settings are complete, let's remove it."

"Be careful, I've heard there have been recent incidents of pre-installed devices being compromised."

"Don't worry! The models we're responsible for are waterproof and shockproof, and they're all specially installed in these remote locations, so there definitely won't be any problems."

"Let's get out of here quickly."

"OK!"

After setting up a red mechanical device, the strangely dressed people left and went deeper into the cave.

"Huh?" After confirming that they had left, Sweetie and the others finally poked their heads out.

Upon closer inspection, the mysterious device appeared to be activated. Although its purpose was unknown, the large red button at the top was flashing continuously.

The two Celebi frowned; this thing seemed similar to the one they had seen yesterday.

"Lahua" There was something unsettling emanating from this fire hydrant-like device.

"Fou—" MiniFou nodded in agreement. Of the Pokémon present, it seemed that only Slimie didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

"Let's break it anyway." "Those people must be the culprits who drove Blastoise crazy yesterday!"

"Oh my!"

After hearing what the two Celebi said, Sweeney immediately became excited. She wanted to try to destroy this broken device herself!

She took a few steps back, ran a short distance, and then jumped up suddenly!

Mind Hammer!!!

There was a loud thud!

The device was knocked over and smashed to pieces against a rock!

After a flash, the large red button's red light flashed wildly a few times, and then thick black smoke billowed from the broken wreckage.

The four Pokémon held their breath for a few seconds, and after confirming that the device had really stopped working, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if any Pokémon were affected during the few seconds this thing was activated, but in any case, this place is no longer safe.

You'd better leave quickly!

As Tian Wuni was thinking this, she decided to return the way she came, but when she looked back, she found that in such a short time, the path she had come from had been submerged by the rising underground lake.

"Oh my!"

There was no other way but to head in the direction the group of people had left.

"La-hua—.—"

The rabbis looked worriedly into the depths of the cave, where it was pitch black and its destination unknown. But they truly had no other choice at the moment.

"Fou!" MiniFou mustered her courage and took the first step in that direction, turning back to look at her companions with encouraging eyes.

Sweetie nodded, taking a deep breath: "Ah!"

So the Celebi used Flash, and the four Pokémon carefully made their way along the lake toward the depths of the cave.

A few minutes later, they finally saw the light.

Sweet Wuni ran over quickly, and what came into view was the azure sea!

It turns out that the waterfall's cave eventually connects to a cave near the popular beach.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, swept over me, a stark contrast to the humid air inside the cave.

Sweetie stood at the cave entrance, gazing in amazement at the boundless blue sea before her. Sunlight shone on the shimmering surface of the water, and several long-winged gulls circled and cried out in the air.

"Fou!" Mini Fu excitedly ran towards the beach, leaving a trail of footprints in the soft sand with her short legs.

The rabbis appeared worried during the "La Hua" ceremony.

They flew to a high place and looked around, seemingly trying to confirm the exact location of the exit.

Sweetie walked out of the cave and noticed that the exit was hidden behind a pile of rocks, making it very well concealed.

Not far away is the popular beach, which is obviously a sparsely populated area.

"Huh?" Sweet Wu Ni suddenly saw two sea hares crawling out of another cave not far away.

"Pfft!"

They looked very strange, with bloodshot eyes, just like the three Blastoises from yesterday!
