Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"You kid...really..."

In a cave somewhere in the mountains, a sturdy old man sat quietly on a stone bed. His hair and beard were all white, and his cloudy eyes seemed to be looking directly at Yaru through the mountains and time and space.

He is the wave guide who stands at the top of the world, and is also one of the defeated opponents in Yalu's journey.

[I, Lu Xuan, am willing to die...]

The powerful dark blue waveguide was released from Lu Xuan's body without reservation and went to the other side of time and space.

At the same time, some people said their final goodbyes to their families, while others entrusted their young children to others, in order to ensure the continued existence of the Bird Messenger group and for the future of the world.

【Anthony, I am willing to die. 】

【Lin E'ang is willing to die. 】

【…】

The bodies of the wave guide messengers shattered like a curtain of light, accompanied by dots of blue light rising from all over the place, like meteors holding up brilliant tail flames, carrying the will of an era, and heading towards an unknown future.

……

"Hmph..." Feeling the waves that belonged to an era, Yaru groaned and his body couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, his strong body seemed extremely weak under that terrifying force.

"After all my calculations, I still underestimated a little bit..." Yaru raised his head with difficulty and looked in the direction of Xiemi. The wave power in his body showed signs of being out of control.

At this moment, a bony hand rested on his shoulder, and a large part of the huge wave force was taken away.

Yalu subconsciously looked up and saw Eslo nodding to him slowly. The boy's body was covered in blue light at the moment, but it could not cover his ink-black eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

……

"What...are these things?" On the outskirts of the endless tornado, Mary looked at the strange creatures that were slowly rushing towards her with a vigilant look on her face.

Those creatures had strange shapes, but generally they were humanoid in appearance and their specific features could not be seen clearly. They floated in the air like dark green ghosts, and their big mouths that seemed to be torn apart by something kept making strange roars. Just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that they were not friendly.

The sharp roar made Mary's heart tremble instinctively. She looked at those creatures that seemed to be not from this world (?), and felt her heart beating faster and faster. Her mood also fell to the bottom as cold sweat dripped down and the roars continued.

But the girl did not take a step back, because she knew that behind her was everything she had to protect.

The intense emotions continued to echo, which also made a seed buried deep in Mary's heart sprout quietly.

"Soooooo..."

"Ahhh."

"Roar--"

Absol, Ma and the hairy troll, three elves stepped forward and stood in the front. Even when facing strange ghosts rushing towards them like an ocean, there was no fear in their eyes.

[The ghost of time... I always thought it was just a legend.] The corner of Huayanguai's eye twitched, if she had eyes.

Feeling the girl's gaze, the Flower Rock Monster floating in the air continued to control the tornado while explaining, "In simple terms, our current actions have overturned some future possibilities, causing a lot of "resentment" in those "futures". The "resentment" is mixed with many negative emotions and turned into ghosts to take revenge on us. 】

"Can normal attacks destroy them?" Mary asked with a little anxiety.

[We can only repel them. They are a mixture of various emotions, which means they cannot be eliminated by normal means.] The Flower Rock Monster looked back at the tornado that had not stopped yet, and the gradually expanding space-time crack.

"So we can only delay it?" Mary frowned.

【Um. 】

……

Apart from some unexpected events here, Aislo and his team's plans are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Aislo was carefully gathering the waveguides in his body and transmitting them into Shemi's body. Fortunately, the waveguides were a kind of energy that originated from the spirit and the body, and Aislo's body could withstand it. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would explode first here.

"How is it? Can you still hold on?" Yaru asked the black-haired boy in front of him, and he put one of his hands on Aislo's shoulder.

"Pika?" Pikachu, who was lying on the boy's other shoulder, asked nervously. The little guy stood up and patted his chest, as if to say that he could hold on for a while.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Aislo shook his head slightly.

"Good... the space-time crack is getting bigger and bigger..." Yaru looked up at the space-time crack in the distance that covered half of the sky, his eyes full of hope.

If it continues at this pace, it will probably take another half an hour... and at the last stage, Yaru came to his senses, and that was also the most dangerous time.

"Maybe..." Yalu didn't say anything else. He just kept repeating in his mouth while transmitting the waveguide, "half an hour, half an hour..."

……

"Half an hour left?!" Mary looked at the Flower Rock Monster in disbelief.

[Yeah, that's about right.] The Flower Rock Monster nodded slightly, and while carefully controlling the tornado, he also did not forget to send out several attacks to defeat the time ghosts that had formed a high wall.

These time ghosts are quite fragile, perhaps only slightly stronger than some newborn Pokémon cubs. They may not seem like anything at first glance, but if there are enough time ghosts to almost form an ocean, it would be quite terrifying.

"Roar--"

Another roar was heard, and the terrifying sonic attack spread in all directions. The hairy troll gasped and watched the time ghost that was hit by the sonic wave turn into green particles and float away into the distant sky.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before those drifting away particles will recombine, return to their strange appearance, and join the green ocean again.

After using her trekking pole to smash a time ghost that was walking forward, Mary looked into the distance with a serious expression. Although her body had been strengthened to a certain extent due to various reasons, she was sure that she would not last more than half an hour. As for the other elves...

Shakiras has returned to the Poké Ball. He has fallen asleep due to excessive consumption after releasing earthquakes many times. Unfortunately, this did not buy them much time, because the next moment a group of time ghosts collapsed due to the earthquake, another group of time ghosts appeared out of thin air. Their terrifying recovery speed made any attack they could launch now ineffective.

"Roar--"

"Woo——"

Two roars sounded at the same time, and fierce light flashed in the blood-red eyes of Absol and the long-haired troll. A light gray barrier condensed and pushed the ghost of time into the distance.

Ma, who had just transformed into the Howling Whale King and was rolling in the Time Ghost, also quickly returned. Most of the elves present were not in very good condition. After all, even if they were powerful, they could not withstand long-term consumption and output. They rested in the same place for about five minutes.

"Buey..." Moon Eevee helped Crocodile and Mouth. She turned her head to look at the barrier that was protecting them not far away. Based on the last experience, this barrier could probably last for fifteen minutes, and then... huh?

"Click..."

A crisp shattering sound was heard, causing Mary's pupils to shrink. She quickly looked up and saw a crack faintly appearing in the barrier.

The one who created cracks in the barrier was an extremely large time ghost. It was probably composed of tens of millions of time ghosts, and its strength was even close to that of a champion.

The next moment, the barrier, which had not released much energy, was shattered by the powerful impact.

Another tough battle is coming.

Mary just looked at the scene unwillingly, and the emotions in her heart became more intense.

If I could have special powers like A Luo and Ya Lu, could I help more now? If...

"Mobei?" Morube noticed that something was wrong with the girl and looked over with some concern.

At this moment, Mary suddenly raised her head, stretched out her slender fingers, and raised her arms flat on her body.

An inexplicable voice in her heart told her that she could do it.

The next moment, the seeds buried in the girl's heart burst into bloom, and the strong seedling broke through the soil, proudly announcing its birth.

Pink energy poured out from Mary's palms like heavy rain, and all the time ghosts that touched this energy were frozen as if they were under a spell. The color of their bodies gradually faded until they finally disappeared. No green particles appeared, and there was no other miscellaneous revival, as if those ghosts had never existed.

It was as if at that moment, the emotional power in the time ghosts' bodies was completely drained away, and they lost the basis of their existence.

[That is...] Huayanguai opened his eyes wide in surprise.

That is a gift from Emrido, the god of emotions.
