My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 229 A Century of Past Events

The library is next to the teaching building. It's a small building with only three floors, but it has everything you need.

The collection is extremely rich, encompassing professional books from various fields, ranging from Pokémon ecology research to ranger skill guides.

Tong Hua led Mu Mu and the Pokémon straight to the Pokémon data area on the second floor. It was so quiet that the only sounds were the turning of pages and the occasional footsteps in the distance.

"Let's find out what interests us first. As long as it's related to Pokémon, we can study anything."

"Um.

""

Mumu nodded, then ran off to find books on her own.

Riolu and the forest lizard also searched for books they could understand in the library. Although they couldn't read the same language, they could still understand some simple picture books.

It also allows them to learn some knowledge and information about this world, which is a treasure more precious than money for them, the explorers.

Tibrim sat obediently on Tong Hua's shoulders. She loved quiet places like the library; it felt like coming home!

"Alright, let's look for some interesting books too."

Tong Hua walked to the index table and gently stroked the category directory with her finger.

"Pokémon Behavior Studies — Ecological Research — Skill Instruction —" he muttered to himself, his gaze finally settling on the "Regional Legends and Unsolved Mysteries" section.

"Perhaps this is where we can start," Tong Hua thought to himself, glancing at Tibrim on his shoulder.

Since magic and witches exist in this world, why not conduct research on this topic?

After all, there's a real witch right beside me, so writing a report will be a piece of cake.

"And what happened last night, it might also be a kind of paranormal event."

Let's try investigating it too —

Tong Hua walked towards the innermost rows of bookshelves in the library. The books there looked exceptionally old, and the gold lettering on their spines was mostly faded. Following the category index, he found the bookshelf containing local legends.

"Ferei region, Almia region, Oblibya region —"

It even includes legends from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh—regions under the jurisdiction of the Pokémon League.

Tong Hua's gaze wandered across the bookshelf, finally settling on a thick book titled "A Study of the Myths of the Galar Region." He carefully pulled the book out; the silver foil patterns on the crimson cover were already somewhat worn.

"Bree~"

Tibrim looked at the yellowed old photograph on the book cover and suddenly let out a melodious cry.

The photo shows a Brimwyn, with a red-haired witch wearing a wizard's hat standing next to her.

"It brings back so many memories. I never expected to see this photo here."

Perhaps this is fate; no wonder astrology, this kind of magic, can be classified as a separate subject.

Fate is truly amazing.

Upon hearing what Tiprim said, Tong Hua immediately became interested and quickly asked Tiprim if she knew anything.

"Could the person in this photo be you?"

"Bri." Tibrim did not give a clear answer to Tong Hua's question, but only told him to read the contents of the book once, and he would probably understand.

So, Tong Hua picked up the book, found an empty table, and started flipping through it.

Tong Hua gently turned the heavy pages of the book. The yellowed paper emitted a faint musty smell. The book contained detailed records of various legends from the Galar region.

Starting with ancient dark legends —

The Sword King and the Shield King joined forces to slay the sealed dragon —

Then there's the legend of the Crown Snowfield and the Goddess of Fertility, Rachelon—

It includes a variety of folk tales and myths, with one chapter specifically telling the story of "Witches and Magic" living in the Mystic Forest.

"Found it."

Tong Hua immediately began to read attentively, and Tibrim jumped off Tong Hua's shoulder and sat in his lap to read along.

"In the ancient legends of the Galar region, there is a group of witches who can communicate with Psychic-type Pokémon."

They live in a remote forest, studying a special ability known as "magic" —

As Tong Hua read this, she couldn't help but look up at Tibrim on her shoulder. The little one was intently staring at the pages, a look of nostalgia in her eyes.

He continued reading: "The most famous of them is a red-haired witch who is said to have formed a deep bond with a special Brimwyn."

Together they protect a mysterious forest, help lost travelers, and heal injured Pokémon —

The book includes several blurry photos, one of which is the same group photo on the cover. Tong Hua examined it closely and found that the caption under the photo read: "Taken in the 12th year of the Alliance Calendar, the nameless witch and her Brimwyn."

"Nameless, huh? —" Tong Hua looked at the witch in the black and white photo, and Brimwyn standing next to him, then glanced at Tibrim in his arms.

"Bri—" Tibrim was also silently gazing at the old photograph, seemingly lost in deep memories.

"Speaking of which, it's been 12 years since the Alliance calendar?"

Wasn't that 100 years ago?

"Photos from 100 years ago exist; is this a legend or a factual account?"

Tong Hua carefully flipped through the book, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the author's name for this article.

Just as Tong Hua was puzzled, Tibrim's little paw gently pressed on the corner of the photograph on the page. There was an almost imperceptible mark there, an emblem made of stars and a wand.

"Bri—" Tibrim's voice echoed in Tong Hua's mind, "This is the mark of this girl's family. If I remember correctly, the author of this book was a junior member of the family at the time."

I only agreed to be interviewed and had this photo taken because she fed me some desserts and gifts.

I never imagined that 100 years would pass in the blink of an eye, and that I would become like this.

This is probably fate.

Tong Hua examined the badge carefully and asked telepathically, "So this really is about your past story?"

It's alright, not as exaggerated as I thought. But compared to Lucario's 3000 years, Tebrimon's 100 years seems even more...

Does it feel more realistic?

"Bree!" Tibrim puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, slapping Tong Hua's arm with her little paws. "What do you mean 'not that exaggerated'?! A hundred years is a very long time, okay?!"

Tong Hua smiled and ruffled Tibrim's hair: "Sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant. I just happened to meet a companion who had been sleeping like a stone statue for 3000 years, and she speaks like an ancient person."

Compared to her, you seem more up-to-date. Even though you're over a hundred years old, you still seem like you're the same age as me.

Tibrim calmed down a bit and snuggled back into Tong Hua's arms: "Hmph, you know how to talk. But you're right, I am indeed very fashionable."

Take this outfit in the photo, for example; it would still be considered very fashionable even today!

Tong Hua carefully examined the witch's attire in the photo and found that it was indeed as Tibrim had described. The neatly tailored cloak and unique wizard's hat looked perfectly natural even in the present day.

"It's really fashionable," Tong Hua exclaimed sincerely. "But more than the clothes, what I'm curious about is—"

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Mu came running over excitedly, carrying a pile of books: "Junior brother! I found some really interesting things!"

Tong Hua and Tibri exchanged a helpless look and temporarily interrupted their conversation.

"Senior, keep your voice down, this is a library—"

Tong Hua quickly gestured for Mu Mu to be quiet, and Mu Mu then realized that she was speaking too loudly and shrank her neck in embarrassment.

"Sorry, sorry," Mumu said in a low voice, but couldn't hide her excitement. "Come with me quickly, I saw something really interesting over there!"

"Besides books, what else can be interesting in a library?"

Tong Hua was puzzled, but she still followed Mu Mu toward a certain place.

Upon arriving at the destination, Tong Hua had to admit that it was indeed quite interesting.
