Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"hold head high--"

Dialga raised his front legs high, his pupils lit up, the diamonds and patterns on his chest flashed brightly at the same time, and his roar was earth-shaking. The strange ripples almost covered the entire Poplar Town, and the nearest buildings became dilapidated at a very fast speed until they turned into ashes.

This is the arrogance of the God of Time, this is the terrifying power of the God of Time.

The Sub-Space Slash tore the space apart again. Time and space had been fighting for who knows how many times.

The aftermath of the battle pierced through the gray fog on the sky, and the gray fog gradually receded and turned into the original nothingness.

"If this continues, the entire Baiyang Town will be truly wiped out from the world." Aislo stood up. The current situation required him to fight for his life.

In the sky, Darkrai's warning voice resounded again: "You, get out!"

The loud roar caused the space to tremble, but this time, Palkia and Dialga looked at Darkrai with a hint of mockery and ridicule in their eyes.

It was obvious that Darkrai was already at the end of his strength, and his roars were just bluffs. The Twin Dragons of Time and Space ignored him and continued this meaningless battle.

Darkrai fell silent, recalling the scenes in the garden.

"Get out of here!"

"This is everyone's garden."

The spread of evil energy even forced the twin dragons of time and space to retreat hundreds of meters.

"Roar——" the roar resounded through the sky again.

Dialga and Palkia, time and space, diamonds and pearls, blue and pink, the light shines, and the surging energy collides again, and a black hole slowly forms and gradually expands.

Shirona stood up slowly. Her originally beautiful face had been torn into scars by the fierce wind. Blood flowed down, dyeing her messy blonde hair a touch of bright red. She gritted her teeth and looked at her companions beside her.

【We can still fight! 】

However, a hand pressed on Shirona's shoulder, preventing her from rushing to the battlefield where she was sure to die.

"Miss Champion, or the person who becomes the champion, will she be prepared to sacrifice herself?" Eslo's words sounded more like a whisper, but they also reached Shirona's ears.

Shirona paused, but soon a smile appeared on her face again. "The moment we become champions, we are already prepared, for the elves, for humans, and for this world..."

"I understand." Aislo looked at the battlefield again. At this time, Darkrai was standing between the two gods, as if he wanted to buy more time for Poplar Town by his own strength.

Then, Eslo looked at Sirona and Tyrannosaurus beside him. The light shining in their eyes was so bright. This was the light of mankind and the glory of mankind.

"Then... I'll try again." Aislo soared into the sky. At the same time, Ma, who suddenly appeared, took Shirona and the others away.

[Are you really going to do this? Xiao Luo.] Yveltal sensed the situation outside, and was ready to take action at any time, even if it meant breaking the contract with Arceus.

"Ah."

……

Energy was accumulated again. Darkrai stared blankly in the direction of the garden, as if he was not in the center of the battle between the two gods.

"Roar--"

The roars of Dialga and Palkia were heard again, as if Darkrai had sounded the death knell for them.

"Should I come look for you, Alicia?" Darkrai's heart was surprisingly calm, but the next moment, the boy's arrival caused huge waves on the calm lake.

“You…” Darkrai widened his eyes and looked at Eslo behind him in disbelief, but before he could say anything, the attacks of the two gods had already arrived.

A black barrier rose up, and Eslo and Darkrai desperately resisted the attack of the gods.

"Why did you come?" Darkrai's voice trembled slightly.

"Does this require any reason?" Eslo smiled forcefully. The tenderness and worry in his eyes shattered Darkrai's coldness.

The barrier was shattered from time to time, and the influx of energy continued to bombard Eslo's body.

"Thank you... but, I'm sorry." Darkrai returned the look with a gentle gaze, but this made Eslo feel uneasy.

"what?"

Darkrai pushed the defenseless boy out. He didn't want the boy to lose his life here.

"You still have a long way to go. There's no need to stop here." No one could understand the emotions contained in Darkrai's hoarse voice. No, perhaps Eslo could understand.

"No!"

The attacks of the twin dragons of time and space became more violent, and the thick beam of light almost instantly submerged Darkrai.

Aislo's pupils trembled, and time seemed to stop at this moment.

The beam of light dissipated, but Darkrai was no longer in the air. The exhausted boy fell to the ground helplessly, his heart torn by pain.

"Darkrai!"

-------------------

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…”

A familiar piece of music sounded in Darkrai's ears, causing him to slowly open his eyes.

Familiar sunshine, familiar garden. Shaded by green trees, fragrant grass, plump fruits hanging on the branches, swaying, but unlike in my memory, there are no elves rejoicing under the trees.

The blonde girl had her back to Him, playing a song that soothed everything.

Darkrai looked at the familiar figure with trembling eyes. He tried to walk forward and asked, "Alicia?"

The soft and intoxicating melody disappeared, and Alicia turned her head and looked at Darkrai tenderly, just like when they first met.

The warm sunshine also sprinkled on Darkrai's heart.

[Are you injured? Does it hurt? ]

[Your name is Darkrai, right? My name is Alicia! ]

[Are you afraid of the outside world? Don't be afraid. If you want, you can stay here forever in the Pokémon Garden.]

Memories surged back like a tide, washing over Darkrai's soul.

"Long time no see, Darkrai." Alicia smiled gently.

"Alicia... am I dead?" Darkrai was a little confused.

"What do you think?" Alicia did not answer directly. She just looked at Darkrai gently, asking what was in his heart.

Darkrai recalled the scenes just now, including... the panicked look in the black-haired boy's eyes, and the tears floating in the air.

"Look, the world is responding to you." Alicia didn't care about Darkrai's silence.

Scene after scene appeared around the girl and Darkrai.

[Darkrai, do you want to play with me? ]

[You look very tired.]

Can I touch your head?

[Are you tired? You can't keep your heart tense all the time, so have a good sleep. I will help you protect this garden tonight.]

【…】

"You have found the answer in your heart, haven't you?" Alicia smiled. There was no reluctance in her eyes, only blessings for her companions. "Go, don't hurt the people you care about, and don't make the people who love you sad. Please... go and take a good look at this world for me."

"……it is good."

Nearly a hundred years ago, the wounded Him was abandoned by the world, but in the garden, a girl named Alicia opened His heart.

A hundred years later, He who was despised by the world once again encountered the shining sun. That was His salvation, and that was the light that tore through the darkness.

-------------------

in reality.

Endless light suddenly gathered together, and the black spots of light seemed so shining even in the gloomy sky.

Thousands of light spots merged into a ball of light, the light dissipated, and Darkrai appeared again!
