Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 677 A thousand years in a blink of an eye (45)

The ruins of clouds and mist were in a mess due to more than a dozen Pokémon trying their moves one after another, in front of the unknown stone monument.

"Yuki, let's go back to your hometown. Giratina, your battle is over, right?"

Except for Doronbaruto, who was still asked by Giratina to turn on the stove, the other friends had returned to the Poké Ball to rest.

Now that it was over, Rai also felt a little tired, so he asked Uxie beside him, and called Giratina who was hiding in the shadow world.

[Go back, I've been away for a long time. 】

Yukoshi nodded and floated over to Rai.

Rebuilding the home destroyed by the twin gods will also be a big project.

The environment has returned to normal, but it will take a long time to reconstruct the former ecology.

[I have nothing to do, so I’ll take you back.I just wanted to let those little guys practice my skills with me. Wisdom Lake is quite big, so it was just right. 】

A crack in the space tore open, and a big black head came out.

Giratina didn't mean what he said.

Feeling deeply that it had been greatly indebted to Rai and Uxie, it was ready to help the dozen or so Pokémon that were growing rapidly to stabilize their strength, as well as to experience the wild Pokémon in Lake Wisdom.

Yukoshi thought for a while and originally planned to tease the big man a few words, but in the end he stopped his strong desire to complain.
-
Relying on the spatial movement of the inverted world, the huge Xicui area, after finding the right direction, completed the north-south shift in just a moment and returned to the cave in the center of the wise lake.

Looking around, except for the silence brought about by the sharp decline in the number of wild animals and Pokémon, everything has returned to its original appearance.

There are no traces left by the time and space gods coming that day.

"Things were done quite smoothly. They are sensible this time."

Lai looked at the surrounding environment carefully and found that there were indeed no flaws, so he nodded slightly.

Uxie dived into the water and looked at the few animals and wild Pokémon left. She emerged with some sadness and sat on Rai's shoulder with water all over her body.

【Very few.】

"I'll be back later. It's just a matter of time. Don't be too sad."

Caressing the little mushroom's little head, Levin comforted and comforted it.

[Little Mushroom, you sleep for a long time, and when you wake up, you will be the same as before. This is the case at my house. 】

Giratina sat down on the boulder where he was recovering from his injuries and said nonchalantly.

"clang--"

The superpower turned into a hammer and directly knocked Giratina's huge body away.

[Big man, if you can stop scaring people here, maybe they will come back sooner. 】

When Giratina stood up with stars in his eyes, Yukexi's plain voice came slowly.

[You are so annoying, little mushroom!Little man, send those little guys out and let them practice with me! 】

He gritted his teeth and looked at Yukoshi. In the end, the big man didn't dare to say anything harsh, so he could only dive into the shadow and reappear above the lake.
-
Peaceful time is like a calendar in the wind, turning page by page.

For a full month, with Giratina training with his friends, Rai and Nachi saved a lot of worries.

Taking advantage of their rare leisure time, they carefully recorded every detail of their battles, life, and travels in the Xicui area.

The snowfields in the north, the majestic Tianguan Mountain, the peaceful wilderness, the fertile wetlands, and the Xicui residents in each settlement and base are all precious first-hand historical materials.

Although he had no intention of publishing it, Lai still remembered it very carefully, as it was a sorting out and summary of his wonderful time of more than half a year.

Giratina, who has an eternal lifespan, would not understand this approach, and even Uxie was a little confused.

[If you can’t let go of such memories and experiences, why don’t you want eternal life?As long as you are alive, you will always have countless experiences. 】

Yukoshi, who was used to sitting on his shoulder and silently watching Rai write, finally couldn't help but ask one day.

"That's a good question, Uxie." Rai said enthusiastically, putting down the pen and gently scratching Uxie's belly, "It's because our life is limited, just a hundred years, that's why we We will be reluctant to let go of such memories and experiences. If we also have thousands of years of life experience, then we will naturally become numb, because whether we cherish it or not, it is destined to leave us. "

Naqi, who was sitting aside, also turned around. She thought of her relatives far away in Yinyu and the friends who came along the way.

Lila, Hanazuki, Cortna, Daigo.
Familiar names turned into vivid images, flashing in my mind.

[Although we will leave, as long as we remember, won't it be fine? 】

Ukshi blinked his shining eyes, but he still didn't understand. Although he was used to seeing separation, he could understand it but couldn't empathize with it.

"It's different, Yukxi. Everyone's feelings are limited. In our limited life, we can entrust it to more or less relatives, friends, and sometimes enemies. But when our lives Stretching, separation after separation, each time is a tearing of emotions, which makes us no longer the original appearance, and the appearance after the change is no longer the life and vitality of us This cycle may be long, but it will come sooner or later. For example, if you see me who have lived for 1 years, you will definitely not have the same favorable impression as you do when you see this me."

[But if there is no eternal life, I will definitely not be able to see you after 1 years? 】

"Well, that's another reason why I don't want to have a life like this."

【Very verbose! 】

Giratina suddenly appeared, interrupting the conversation between one person and one Pokémon.

[A little man with a lifespan of decades forgets the time after sleeping. 】

[You are talking sarcastically again, big man. 】

Yukoshi corrected him calmly.

[Shut up, little mushroom!I didn't say anything sarcastic. 】 Giratina became angry and regretted showing his face, turned around and slipped out.

[Thousands and ten thousand years are just a snap of the fingers for us, but they are endless years for you. Do you really not regret it? 】

After sending away the troublesome big man, Uxie floated in front of Rai and asked seriously.

Before Lai could speak, Naqi stood up first, took Yukxi into her arms, and whispered something in its ear.
-
Put the last stroke on a large thick book and circle a round full stop.

The story of washing green comes to an end.

Outside the cave, the sound of fighting continued.

During the month of training, more than a dozen Pokémon who were full of fighting spirit after the breakthrough took turns to fight against Giratina day and night. Although there was no improvement in strength, they still had abundant energy and were truly god-level sparring teachers. With the help of others, he adapted to his sudden increase in strength.

At this time, if they join forces, even Giratina, who has complete power, cannot easily defeat him, and in a short period of time, they will be evenly matched.

Len lowered his head, took off his gloves, and looked at the back of his hand.

The three marks that originally disappeared during the process of repairing the red chain, as time went by, Uxie's one gradually recovered, forming a yellow diamond-shaped mark, which looked quite beautiful.

At first, Rai was a little puzzled and asked Ukshi specifically. The answer he got was that this was because of the different energy put into it. As long as the mark still existed, it could always feel Rai's presence.

At this moment, Yukoshi was also sitting at the table, watching with interest the last paragraph that Rai had just finished, which was about the worship of the Sinnoh Lord of Team Kong and Team Pearl.

[You don’t have much time here. 】

While watching and talking, Giratina's voice came suddenly.

Lai and Yukexi nodded at the same time, they have already felt that the weak spatial fluctuations are repelling these "outsiders" as if nothing.

Much faster than the four generals of Team Rocket.

The reason is the repeated battles with the twin gods of time and space.

The laws of time and space take turns acting on them, greatly accelerating the "recognition" and "eviction" of the rules of the world.

The time for parting has come.

With so many thoughts on my mind, I closed the book.

Rai raised his head, and Naqi had already returned to the cave with the Pokémon that had finished training.

"Although the time we spend together is not that long compared to your endless lives, it is already very fulfilling for me."

Time and space travel is full of unknowns, and Rai is not sure which one he is going to. With the feeling that the one in front of him will be the last, he reaches out his hand and hugs Uxie.

"I'm glad to meet you, Uxie and Giratina. I hope we can meet again in the future in the same time and space."

"Thank you very much for your help, Uxie and Giratina. I will always remember you two." Nachi was also a little moved, reaching out and touching Uxie's forehead.

[It’s okay to say unlucky things. Just wait until you talk to me in the future about these things, little man.I won’t play any sensational tricks with you! 】

Seeing that Lai wanted to come forward and hug him, Giratina said the next sentence with a dark face.

Before he finished speaking, it disappeared and returned to the reverse world.

[The big man means that I am a little embarrassed and reluctant to give it away to you. This is my analysis. 】

Huddled in Naqi's arms, Ukshi became a translator and analyst.

[Shut up, little mushroom! 】

Giratina became furious, and the sound came from nowhere, causing some sand and gravel to fall from the top of the Wisdom Cave.

【Looking forward to seeing you again, may the light of wisdom guide you. 】

Uxie ignored Giratina, floated into the air, and said solemnly.

Having been together for such a long time, he knew very well the big man's sharp-tongued character in front of acquaintances, and he also knew that everyone at this moment needed to liven up the atmosphere and dilute the feeling of separation.

"Then, let's take our leave." Lai nodded, and walked out of the cave holding hands with Naqi, calling the incarnation of time, "Dialga, we can set off."

Before the words fell, Dialga had already appeared in front of the two of them.

In fact, as early as a few days ago, it noticed the fluctuation and had been staying around. It thought it was well hidden, but it had been discovered by Giratina long ago.

[I want to know, do you really not regret it? 】

Dialga also had complicated feelings towards this guy who almost killed him, but who could also rarely resonate with him.

At the same time, while it was delighted with this result, it was still a little unbelievable. It really couldn't figure out why humans, as short-lived species, were so indifferent.

Lai nodded, looked at each other and smiled at Naqi, and said: "It is because it is short that the excitement brought by urgency can be unrepeatable. Please send us back."

【as you wish. 】

The powerful energy opened the cracks in time and space.

Different from the turmoil at the Pillar of Spears that day, at this moment, this crack seemed extremely stable.

In the distance, Palkya's figure also slowly emerged, stretching out his claws under Giratina's vigilant gaze, stabilizing the space around the Lake of Wisdom.

Taking one last look at Lake Wisdom, where they had lived for a long time, Lai and Naqi moved forward hand in hand and walked into the rift in time and space.

The moment they entered, the two lost consciousness, especially the perception of time and space. They seemed to have fallen into endless night and stagnation, leaving only their clasped hands, inseparable for a long time.
