My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 127 Saving the Future

After everyone left, only the sleeping Electric Dragon and two Celebi remained in the wooden house.

Electric Dragon lay on his side on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly having a nightmare.

Pink Celebi continuously used the healing bell sound, combined with Green Celebi's life-giving water droplets, to heal the electric dragon.

"La hua..."

Pink Celebi knew that the electric dragon was probably in the same situation as it had been a month ago, with many confused memories in its mind after traveling through time.

Once these memories are digested and integrated, the electric dragon will have the illusion that it originally belonged to this time and space. The longer it stays here, the less it will remember the memories of the time and space it originally lived in.

Just like the pink Celebi now.

"La-hua!"

"We must question him immediately once he wakes up! The longer we delay, the less information we'll be able to gather!"

The two shrines looked at each other and came to the same conclusion.

The cabin fell silent, save for the heavy, slightly painful breathing of the electric dragon, the ethereal and distant echo of the healing bell, and the refreshing scent emanating from the droplets of life.

Pink Celebi gently placed its small hand on the electric dragon's forehead, sensing the chaotic spacetime energy within its body, while Green Celebi carefully controlled the amount of life-giving water, nourishing the electric dragon's exhausted body caused by spacetime travel.

Time ticked by as the two Celebi waited anxiously. Every now and then, a delicious aroma would waft from the kitchen, but the two Celebi remained unmoved, contrary to their usual behavior.

The electric dragon's body would occasionally twitch, and it would let out a muffled and uneasy whimper from its throat. The jewel at the tip of its tail would flicker uncontrollably, reflecting the turbulent emotions churning within it.

Finally, under the soothing sound of the healing bell, Dianlong's tense body gradually relaxed, and his breathing became steady and long.

The light on the jewel on his tail stabilized, emitting a soft halo.

After a while, his long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His large eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment as he stared blankly at the ceiling of the wooden house, seemingly not quite sure where he was.

"Miao—Ming?" he uttered weakly and confusedly, struggling to sit up.

"La-hua!"

"You're awake!"

Pink Silavi immediately flew to his side, speaking urgently but as gently as possible.

"How are you feeling? Do you remember what happened?"

Green Shirabbi also came closer, looking at him with concern.

The electric dragon shook its still somewhat dizzy head, and its gaze slowly focused on the pink Celebi.

"Silabi-chan".

The electric dragon instantly snapped back to its previous eager state, reverting to its previous demeanor in the field.

He grabbed the pink shrub's little hand and said anxiously.

"Something terrible has happened! The investigation team—no, the whole world needs your help!"

Celebi-chan! We're running out of time! We need to quickly find Tonghua-kun and Forest Lizard-kun so we can save the world together!

"Save the world?!" Pink Celebi was so startled by this sudden grand statement that it floated back a short distance, while Green Celebi also covered its mouth in surprise.

Electric Dragon grew increasingly agitated. He struggled to get out of bed, the violent movements causing the wooden bed to creak under the strain: "Miao Ming! Miao Ming!"

"That's right! Time has stopped all over the world, and it won't be long before the whole world comes to a standstill!"

"We've lost contact with many places! Several teams dispatched by the investigation team to collect the Gears of Time have gone missing!"

"Time stop" and "gears of time"—these familiar keywords, like the "forest lizard," touched the depths of Pink Celebi's heart.

Those memories that were originally sealed away are slowly being restored little by little.

"Wow!" Pink Silavi exclaimed excitedly, finally remembering something important.

The green Celebi, who had become an outsider, urged her to speak quickly. The pink Celebi composed herself and began to explain.

"The world I originally lived in was a world dominated by Pokémon."

There lived a Pokémon named Dialga, who was known as the God of Time and built the Tower of Time to maintain the flow of time throughout the world.

The cause of it all stemmed from the collapse of the Tower of Time.

Dialga was influenced by dark forces and fell into darkness, transforming into Dark Dialga, which triggered the terrible Star Stop.

"The Stop of the Stars...?" Green Celebi's voice trembled slightly. Although she couldn't fully understand it, she could sense the terrifying meaning behind the word.

The pink shrine maiden's face was more serious than ever before, and she continued to explain, her speech quickening as memories flooded back.

"That's right! When time in the whole world stops, everything is reduced to only three colors: black, white, and gray."

The sun will never rise again, and there will be no stars in the night sky.

The world will forever be shrouded in cold darkness. Me, Tong Hua, and the forest lizard. To change this dark future, we risk our lives to rebel against the dark Dialga.

"We traveled through time and space, back to the past, and met everyone in the research team." Pink Celebi said, looking at the Ampharos beside her.

By this time, Dianlong had calmed down. In fact, his original personality was very calm and composed, making him a reliable leader that everyone in the research team wanted to rely on.

"Celebi-chan is right."

In order to change history, we collected the Gears of Time from all over the world, which are regarded as fragments of the Tower of Time. As long as the Gears of Time are returned to the Tower of Time, Dialga can regain his sanity.

Although the Gears of Time play a vital role in maintaining the flow of time in a region, thanks to everyone's efforts, people all over the world have come to trust us and entrusted the Gears of Time to our research team.

Just as we were about to head to the Tower of Time to save the world, assassins sent by the Dark Dialga from the future ambushed us—

To protect the Gears of Time, Celebi-chan, you used your last strength to travel through time once more with Tong Hua and the Forest Lizard.

"That's right." Pink Celebi nodded and then said.

"I did take the two of them through time and space, but in the time tunnel, we were attacked by Dark Dialga—."

The three of us were scattered; the gears of time were all on the other two, and only I fell into this timeline.

"What?!" The electric dragon's body trembled violently, its eyes filled with shock and worry.

"So, Tong Hua and the Forest Lizard might have gotten separated at some other point in time? And they brought all the Time Gears they collected with them?"

The pink shrine maiden nodded heavily, her little face filled with anxiety and lingering fear: "La-hua—"

"Yes—I was almost completely exhausted at the time, barely managing to stay afloat to this relatively safe point. I don't know how they are doing, or whether those gears are safe—"

Green Celebi flew to Pink Celebi's side and gently patted her back to comfort her.

The electric dragon pressed its claws against its forehead, trying to process the even worse news.

He originally thought that finding the pink Celebi would solve all the problems at once, but he did not expect that Tong Hua and the key combatant, the Forest Lizard, would be missing, and even the key item to save the world, the Gear of Time, was lost!

"This is a big problem—" Electric Dragon's voice lowered.

"Without the Gears of Time, we have no way to stop the Starfall, and Dark Dialga's minions are likely also searching for the missing gears."

The atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point. Hope seemed even more elusive.

"Speaking of which, Captain Electric Dragon, how did you get to this time and space?" Pink Celebi suddenly asked.

"Well, well, of course it's—? How did you manage that again?"

Electric Dragon rubbed his head, thinking for a long time but still couldn't remember.

"Oh no, it seems you've already started to be assimilated by this spacetime."

But don't worry, after a while, I'll regain all my power, and then I can travel through time again to find Tong Hua and the forest lizard from my own timeline.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it—" Electric Dragon sighed. Immediately afterward, a gurgling sound echoed in the room.

Electric Dragon scratched his head sheepishly; whenever he was feeling down, his stomach would get hungry very quickly.

Just then, the kitchen door opened, and Tong Hua and Foam Squirrel walked out carrying a plate of pudding, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Electric Dragon, you're awake? Try this, it's my special pudding. It'll fill you up instantly and restore your strength and energy!"
