My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 189 Farewell Under the Moonlight

Nighttime in the fairytale ranch.

The little ones watched the TV screen turn into static, and finally decided to turn it off and go to bed.

Considering their upcoming departure, Tong Hua made an unprecedented exception and allowed them to stay up late and watch TV a little longer tonight.

"Mew-woo—"

Reluctantly, Dianlong turned off the TV and lay down on his warm, comfortable mattress with Riolu.

"La-hua--" Pink Celebi approached Tong Hua, who was writing in her diary on the desk where the TV was placed, with the desk lamp on.

In addition to recording today's events and income and expenses, it's also important to plan for tomorrow.

"What's wrong?" He put down his pen and looked at the worried pink shrub.

Shirabi tugged at Tong Hua's sleeve with his little hand, wanting to say something but hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Tong Hua secretly used her waveguide power to read the mind of the pink Celebi.

However, the usually effective waveguide power was met with a cold shoulder by the shrub.

"La-hua--" Pink Silavi hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

After a long while, Tong Hua, having finished writing in her diary, put down her pen and turned off the desk lamp.

"Go to sleep."

Late at night, the pink shrub quietly crawled out of bed.

Everyone inside was asleep. Only Lucario, who never sleeps, was somewhere meditating and training.

Celebi flew to the foot of the bed, looked at the crescent moon outside the window, and gently pushed open the window with his hand.

Then, it flew into the silent night sky.

"well----"

Tong Hua opened her eyes and sighed helplessly.

After getting up and putting on his clothes, he tiptoed out of the cabin.

The pasture was quiet and still under the moonlight, with dewdrops on the grass reflecting a cool glow.

-

Tong Hua walked to the edge of the field behind the wooden house, and his eyes easily caught the small pink dot that looked somewhat lonely in the night sky.

She was flying slowly toward the back of the mountain, not fast, as if carrying heavy thoughts.

Tong Hua remained silent, following quietly behind, maintaining a distance that wouldn't cause her to lose track or disturb her.

Cat and Lucario appeared silently behind him at some point, watching together as the figure flew into the distance.

The pink shrine eventually stopped in the open valley behind the mountain, where there were many wild fruits.

She sat on a smooth rock, hugging her knees, gazing up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. Her small figure looked particularly fragile against the vast night sky.

"Is it leaving tomorrow? —"

I still don't have the courage to say goodbye to Tong Hua.

Pink Celebi was somewhat discouraged, just as Green Celebi had synchronized her feelings for the forest lizard, she had also synchronized Green Celebi's feelings for Tong Hua.

From the day she arrived in this world, she was instilled with the memories of the Celebi from the future. This feeling was even more complex than the resonance between Tong Hua and Riolu.

In conclusion, Pink Celebi's love for the forest lizard is pure, and his feelings for Tong Hua are sincere yet complex.

It wasn't just dependence and gratitude; it was also mixed with a vague, inexplicable emotion belonging to the Green Shrine Rabbi that she herself couldn't quite explain.

Tong Hua and the two Pokémon slowed their pace, approached, and sat down beside her. They didn't speak, but simply looked up at the dazzling starry sky.

A gentle evening breeze swept through the valley, bringing with it the sweet aroma of various tree fruits.

"La beep!"

Pink Celebi was startled by the sudden appearance of Tong Hua and Lucario, and instinctively tried to fly away, but Tong Hua gently pressed down on its shoulder.

"Could you keep me company for a little while?"

"La-hua—"

Pink Shirabi hesitated for a moment, but eventually slowly landed back on the rock and sat down next to Tong Hua.

Lucario sat quietly on the other side, while the pickpocket cat leaped lightly onto Tong Hua's lap.

The four of them can be said to come from four completely different worlds.

Tong Hua comes from Earth, Celebi comes from another time and space, CatPick comes from Unova, and Lucario has been sleeping since Almia a thousand years ago.

These four lives, though from completely different hometowns, felt exactly the same as they looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

"The moon is beautiful tonight."

Tong Hua said softly, her words sounding especially gentle in the quiet night.

Pink Shirabi gazed up at the night sky, the moonlight casting a soft glow on her pink skin.

She suddenly remembered that she had seen such a beautiful moonlight in the future memories of the Green Shrine she had merged with.

At that time, Tong Hua was sitting under a fruit tree, telling the Pokémon around him his story from Earth.

However, that was probably a long time later, and the Tong Hua I remember was much more mature than she is now.

"Ooh—"

Lucario's waveguide trembled slightly, and she was reminded of the moonlight in Almia a thousand years ago.

The moon was just as bright then as it is now, but the people who were by my side were different.

She looked at Tong Hua beside her and felt the wave guidance emanating from him. Although it was not exactly the same as the prince she had protected two years ago, their sense of justice was surprisingly consistent.

"Meow————"

The pickpocket cat meowed softly and rubbed its head against Tong Hua's hand. Even she, who always preferred to look forward, couldn't help but think of her time as a stray in the Unova region.

Back then, she was a free spirit and would often gaze at the moon alone, never imagining that one day she would find such a warm and welcoming home.

"La-hua—" Pink Silavi called softly, finally mustering the courage to accept Tong Hua's telepathic communication.

"Tong Hua, actually, I've always wanted to tell you—"

Goodbye.

This trip back might be my last.

It is a miracle that we were able to come to this space-time. In order to cross different space-times in a specific direction, we need to pinpoint the exact time.

Perhaps only a time god like Dialga could accomplish this —”

Tong Hua's hand gently landed on Shirabi's trembling back, and the warm waveguide flowed slowly like a stream.

Although Lucario and Caterpillar were unaware of what had happened, they silently stayed by Celebi's side.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the back mountain.

The Night Demon was the first to emerge from the time-space portal, followed closely by seven Soul-Hooking Eyes.

"Whoa!"

"Quiet----"

The Night Demon glanced at the space-time tunnel behind him, and the barely perceptible glint in his single eye shone even brighter.

"Hoo—" He greedily inhaled the air of this space and time.

Wind, clouds, moon, flowers—all the beauty of nature will not exist in the dark future world, which is why we cherish them all the more.

"Woohoo!" Seven soul-snatching eyes stood behind the Night Demon, cheering softly.

They also deeply cherish this natural atmosphere.

Especially when you're doing a job where you could be fired by your boss at any moment—

Their true purpose for this trip was to get away from the darkness of Dialga.

Yes, the Night Demon and the seven Soul Reapers no longer want to serve Dark Dialga.

"That irrational madman, his purpose in existence is to lead the whole world toward destruction."

The cessation of starlight is only the first step; darkness and cold are merely the prelude to enveloping that dead planet.

Dark Dialga's true goal was to have the sun capture the planet most beloved by Arceus, the creator god.

A planet that has ceased all activity will eventually melt completely into the sun, along with all life.

O

As Dark Dialga's most trusted subordinate, Night Demon was fully aware of all of this.

But now, he has no intention of serving him anymore!
