My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 198 Unity of Heart and Mind

"Oh my!"

Sweetie wasn't going to be outdone, spinning rapidly while kicking her legs!

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

The ice-attribute triple strike, carrying a chilling aura, accurately struck the burning tree trunk. Ice crystals spread rapidly, temporarily suppressing the flames.

"Well done! Tuotuo, Sweet Wuni!"

Tong Hua remained calm under pressure and, together with Seven, directed everyone to carry out firefighting and rescue operations.

As one of the six nature reserves in the Armia region, the importance of Windswept Forest is self-evident, and it must be saved as much as possible!

However, the fire was fueled by the wind, and the prevailing breeze around the forest became the best source of nourishment for the raging fire.

Given the current situation, directly extinguishing the fire is too difficult, so we must indirectly extinguish it by digging firebreaks!

As for the abandoned vegetation in the firebreak, it will have to be replanted after the fire.

The most important thing now is to control the spread of the fire!

"Forest turtles and worms, please!" Tong Hua pointed to the edge of the fire, "Create a firebreak there!"

"Game!"

The forest tortoise stomped heavily on the ground, causing ground energy to surge, and a deep trench immediately appeared.

The worms followed closely behind, nimbly weaving through the soil to widen and deepen the ditch.

However, even with the two Pokémon working together, the fire affected such a large area that other Pokémon had to join in the work of digging firebreaks!

"Lili!"

The big-toothed raccoons in the ranch rushed to the front line. They were experts at building fortifications, and digging a firebreak was a piece of cake for them.

The bilbies divided the work, some digging, some carrying soil, and the other Pokémon on the ranch all joined in to help put out the fire.

"Oh my!" "Fou!"

Sweetie and Orion endured the high temperatures to help the Bigtooths build an isolation zone.

The foam squirrel and the pickpocket cat, disregarding their fastidiousness, rushed into the slightly damp mud to help dig.

"Chief Seven!" Tong Hua, who originally wanted to help dig a firebreak, followed Seven without hesitation after seeing him lead Napoli into the fire!

"Don't follow me, be careful!"

I need to go into the forest to find a Pokémon that can bring rain; trying to put out the fire by just digging firebreaks is causing too much damage!

Seven shouted anxiously to Tong Hua, but Tong Hua had no intention of staying in the back.

"More people means more strength!" Tong Hua followed firmly. "Besides, my Aura power can find Pokémon in need of help even faster!"

The two struggled through the fire, with King Naboth continuously spraying water cannons to clear a path. The thick smoke reduced visibility to almost nothing, and the scorching air made every breath painful.

Meanwhile, the Ampharos that was helping to dig the isolation zone glanced at the Grovyle and Riolu beside it and showed a determined expression.

"Moo-woo!"

The fire is too large! Relying solely on patrolman Jun and Tong Hua Jun is not enough!

"Let's leave this to you guys, we're going to rescue people!"

"Okay!" Riolu and Grovyle immediately nodded in agreement, and the three Pokémon quickly rushed into the fire, charging towards the direction that Tong Hua and Seven had not gone.

Ampharos burst forth with dazzling lightning, illuminating the path for its companions amidst the thick smoke. Grovyle's leaf blades precisely cleaved through the burning branches blocking its way, while Riolu used its Aura to sense the location of the trapped Pokémon.

The three Pokémon worked together to save many wild Pokémon that couldn't escape in time.

"I'll help too!" Lucario roared and rushed into the fire without regard for the danger.

She used a wave missile to extinguish the fire, clearing a path for her teammates who were carrying out the rescue.

"And we'll help too!"

The Night Demon, who had just recovered, arrived late with his seven Soul-Hooking Eyes.

"Go, you soul-reapers, go and help dig the isolation barrier!"

"Whoa!"

The Night Demon himself rushed into the fire, and the power of unity was most evident in such a critical moment!

"La beep!"

As the Green Rabbi watched his former home being consumed by fire, his grief and anger reached their peak!

But what she cares about more now is how Mumu and the giant vine are doing!

Is that wooden gear of time safe?

What she wanted to reveal on the other side of the time tunnel was the true origin of the wooden Time Gear and why it was the key bait for the investigation team to return to their original world!

Green Silavi anxiously looked into the depths of the forest. The treehouse where Mumu and the others lived was located directly above the forest waterfall, which was the very center of the entire Windswept Forest.

"Ooh!"

Just as Green Celebi was about to fly through the thick smoke to the treehouse, Lucario and Riolu below happened to save a group of wild Pokémon.

"It's alright now, you guys hurry up and run! Are there any other Pokémon trapped in the fire ahead?"

Riolu used the waveguide to soothe the frightened worm and acorn, while eagerly inquiring about what was happening deeper inside.

But in their panic, these wild Pokémon could only shake their heads helplessly, unable to offer any useful information.

Seeing this, Green Celebi quickly landed and used Healing Bell and Life Drop to treat the Pokémon's burns. Riolu comforted them for a moment and then escorted them away from the fire.

"Tonghua-kun! Forest Lizard-kun! Look over there!" Suddenly, the electric dragon rushing ahead slowed down and pointed to a waterfall in front of it.

"Whoosh!" Green Celebi's eyes lit up instantly. They were finally almost at the treehouse!

The waterfall's flow had weakened due to the high temperature, but it still stubbornly continued to flow. Water vapor and thick smoke mingled, forming a hazy barrier.

Many Pokémon that couldn't escape in time hid here, unaware of the principle of "boiling a frog in lukewarm water"—

The scorching steam turned the area into a giant sauna. Some small Pokémon huddled in the crevices of the rocks, their bodies already red from the heat. Several Mimosa and Rosella drooped their heads listlessly, the edges of their petals beginning to turn yellow.

"Kuku!" "Ooh!"

Forest Lizard and Riolu rushed over immediately and rescued all the wild Pokémon.

And right there in the waterfall pool, they spotted a familiar figure.

"Momo————"

The figure lurking beneath the pool was none other than the giant vine!

"La-hua!"

Green Celebi rushed to the water's surface and saw Giant Vine lying weakly at the bottom, its vines covered in burn marks. Even more heartbreaking was that it was using its last strength to protect several wild Pokémon.

Fortunately, Mumu went to work at Chicory Wood Shop today, which saved her from being caught in the fire.

"Momo————"

After being rescued, the giant vine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He wearily untied the entwined vines, revealing several shivering Curly-eared and Pichu. Although the little creatures' skin was red from the burns, they had managed to survive thanks to the protection of the giant vines.

Mo————

I brought this out too; the treehouse is probably already—”

The giant vine pulled the wooden box out of its body, and Celebi immediately showed a relieved expression upon seeing it.

She carefully took the wooden box and gently opened it—

The wooden gear of time lay quietly inside, emitting a soft green light.

Surprisingly, fine golden patterns appeared on the surface of the gear, as if responding to the surrounding crisis.

"As expected—"

Looking at the glowing Gear of Time in his hand, Celebi's thoughts drifted back to the day he obtained it—
