My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 164 The Heart-Stealing Thief, the Forest Lizard

"Fufu?"

Mini Fu followed behind Sweet Wuni and suddenly saw something flash in the grass beside them.

"Mimi?"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an adorable curly-eared creature.

This curly-eared rabbit is an old friend. In fact, the curly-eared rabbits and long-eared rabbits in the area around the back mountain are all old friends of the Fairy Tale Adventure Team.

Ever since the day the handsome guy and Maggie first came to the Happiness Dessert Shop, that incident involving two Blastoises happened in the valley behind the mountain.

Those two Blastoises seem to be released back into the wild soon; I wonder if they'll ever come back here.

"Mimi~" "Fufu~"

Curly Ear and Mini Fu hugged each other closely; they were clearly very familiar with each other.

It was thanks to the curly-eared and long-eared rabbits that the fairytale adventure team was able to find the valley C hidden in the back mountains.

The rare sand-scale fruit and dragon-fire fruit now grown in Fairy Tale Ranch were all brought back from that valley.

"La wa." "Ama."

Celebi and Sweetie also came over and greeted Curly Ears warmly.

"Mimi~"

"You guys are on an adventure again."

Curly-eared creature bounced happily, its long, fluffy ears swaying gently.

"How's everyone at home lately? I haven't seen you for days."

"Great!" Sweetie replied energetically.

"We went on a trip a few days ago and just got back yesterday." With that, Sweetie was about to tell the story of her adventure over the past two days.

However, she was interrupted by Juanjuan before she could speak.

"Could you come with me for a moment? There's something I'd like you to see."

It's not far ahead—

Curly Ears' expression turned serious, even a little worried. She turned around and gestured for everyone to follow.

Sweetie, Mini Fu and Green Celebi exchanged glances, nodded, and followed Curly-eared.

"Huh?"

"What exactly is it?" Sweet Wu Ni asked curiously.

As Curly Ears led the way, he explained, "You'll find out soon enough—"

Upon hearing this, the three Pokémon did not pursue the matter further. They followed Brill and soon arrived at a cave, where their family lived.

The cave is spacious, warm, and dry, and the entrance is well hidden by tall grass.

At this very moment, several long-eared rabbits were gathered around a spot inside the burrow, discussing something.

"Huh?"

"What happened?" Sweetie asked curiously, standing on tiptoe to try and see what was surrounded by the long-eared rabbits.

Mini Fu and Green Silavi also joined in.

Green Shrapini keenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation permeating the cave, both familiar and strange, which brought a puzzled expression to her little face.

Suddenly, the shrub realized what kind of energy fluctuation this was.

"It's a time portal! Has someone traveled through time again?!"

Green Shirabbi cried out in alarm, his small face instantly filled with anxiety.

"Who could it be? Could it be one of Dark Dialga's subordinates?!"

Hearing this, Sweetie and Mini-Fo became nervous. The long-eared rabbits immediately parted, revealing the figure they were surrounding.

It was a forest lizard.

His condition was very bad; his whole body was curled up in pain, his eyes were closed, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Several long-eared rabbits prepared peaches and oranges for him, but he was too weak to eat these fruits on his own.

Clearly, this is the Forest Lizard that Pink Celebi, Ampharos, and Riolu were looking for!

"Kuku—"

The forest lizard groaned in pain, its body trembling slightly, as if it were enduring immense suffering.

"La-hua!"

Green Silavi immediately rushed over and, without hesitation, used Life Drops and Healing Bells to do everything he could to treat the forest lizard.

Even she herself was surprised. Although this was her first meeting with the forest lizard, it felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

"It seems there's absolutely no mistake, this is Xiaofen's childhood sweetheart."

Even though we're just counterparts in different times and spaces, I never imagined we could even synchronize such profound emotions—.

Yes, from the first moment he saw the pitiful state of the forest lizard, Green Seraphim felt a pang of heartache.

That wasn't her actual emotion; it was an illusion created by synchronizing with the feelings of the pink shrine maiden who was in the same time and space as her.

"Oh my!"

Upon seeing this, Sweetie immediately turned and ran, intending to go back to the ranch and call everyone over!

"Fou—" Mini Fou stayed in the cave, helping Green Celebi with Long-eared Rabbit and Curly-eared Rabbit.

Gradually, the forest lizard's breathing became more stable. Although it was still weak, it was no longer as if it might stop breathing at any moment.

"Great—" Green Silavi finally let go of his worries.

"Ku." The forest lizard struggled to open its eyes a crack, its blurred vision revealing the anxious face of the green shrub.

Suddenly, his face turned red, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only made a few weak breaths and closed his eyes weakly, but his tightly clenched hands loosened slightly.

Before long, hurried footsteps and familiar shouts could be heard outside the cave.

"We found the Forest Lizard?!"

"Forest lizard!"

Ampharos, Riolu, and Pink Celebi rushed in, and all breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw the familiar handsome face of Sceptile.

Tong Hua and the others were still busy in the shop; only the three of them had been called over by Tian Wuni. Tian Wuni followed behind them, panting heavily.

Pink Sparky was the first to rush to the Forest Lizard's side. Seeing her companion's wounded and weak state, tears instantly welled up in her eyes: "Rabi! Rabi!"

"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!"

It's all my fault. I was too weak, which is why you and Tong Hua are adrift alone in the time tunnel.

Riolu stood quietly to the side, his eyes fixed on the unconscious forest lizard and the weeping Celebi, his gaze complex.

He had always known that in the trio of Forest Lizard, Celebi, and "Tong Hua Jun," Forest Lizard and Celebi were each other's most important childhood friends.

Although "Tong Huajun" is also an indispensable close friend and comrade-in-arms, he sometimes inevitably feels like a slightly superfluous "third wheel" between the two of them.

Seeing the pink Celebi weeping, Green Celebi felt a surge of heartache within herself. She softly comforted her, "La-hua—"

"It's alright, he's stabilized for now, let him rest and recuperate."

The electric dragon stepped forward, carefully examining the forest lizard's injuries, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, how did the Forest Lizard end up here?"

Who was the first discoverer?

"Mimi!"

"It's us!" Curly Ears immediately raised her little hand and pointed to the Long-Eared Rabbits next to her.

"Chirp!" Several long-eared rabbits immediately began to explain.

"We found him this morning, over there in the valley in the distance."

He lay on the beach, as if he had been washed ashore by the waves. We saw that he was badly injured, so we took him back to the nest to treat him—”

At this point, the long-eared rabbits suddenly blushed slightly, and their voices became barely audible, as if they were omitting some details from their conversation—

However, the Electric Dragon and the others didn't notice this. Riolu was more concerned about whether they had found anything else on the Forest Lizard.

"For example, three green gears? The kind that light up!"

The long-eared rabbits waved their hands, indicating they hadn't found anything else.

Upon smelling the pink-clad ghoul, his face instantly turned pale: "Wow!?"

"The Gears of Time have disappeared?!"
