Chapter 585: Bikitini
Chapter 585: Bikitini
A thousand years ago, in Eindeoak.
In the morning, on the terrace of the royal tower in the castle, the king slowly emerged from his bedchamber and, together with Bikitini, gazed upon his kingdom.
The golden morning sun bathed the land, shadows gradually receded, dew drops hung on petals, and people emerged from their homes, their faces filled with smiles of hope and happiness, greeting their neighbors.
Vegetable and Treefruit vendors, housewives in headscarves and aprons buying groceries, children playing and frolicking with Pokemon...
The flow of people surged from the streets and alleys, eventually converging in the marketplace, creating a bustling scene.
In an instant, the entire town seemed to "awaken."
"Bikitini, do you see? My subjects are so happy and joyful, and my kingdom is so prosperous and thriving. Here, nature, humans, and Pokemon can coexist in harmony," the old king said with a gentle smile, his gaze softly fixed on his kingdom.
Bikitini, standing beside him, nodded in agreement, circling around the old king as it flew, emitting happy cries:
"Nini!"
The old king turned and slowly extended his wrinkled, aged hand towards Bikitini, his face gentle and tender, as if he wanted to pat Bikitini's head.
Suddenly, everything around them seemed to vanish like a dream, and all fell silent. Bikitini looked around in panic, trying to find the king in the darkness.
But no matter how hard it searched, it never saw the old king again.
The once-prosperous kingdom began to fall into disrepair, and the majestic castle also bore the marks of time.
In spring, as life began to awaken, the scorching summer suddenly arrived. The trees swayed gently, and the scorching sun shone down on the dark green leaves, causing them to flutter lightly.
In the next instant, the leaves started to turn yellow and wither, and a chilly autumn wind blew by, causing the withered leaves to spiral down from the treetops.
As the leaves reached the ground, a heavy snowfall also arrived, and in the blink of an eye, the world was covered in a blanket of white, leaving only a vast expanse of white.
Bikitini waited alone in the castle, hoping for the king's return, but over a thousand springs, summers, autumns, and winters passed, and it never saw the king who loved it again.
Another new spring arrived, and Bikitini sat alone on the castle's terrace. Suddenly, the king returned.
Bikitini's eyes instantly filled with tears.
But the old king didn't approach; he just looked at Bikitini with reluctance and apologized softly:
"I'm sorry, Bikitini. I've made you wait too long. It's time for me to go, and it's time for you to embrace a new life! Go, and you'll surely find better companions. Farewell, Bikitini."
After saying this, the old king turned and walked into the darkness, and Bikitini immediately followed.
But the king's figure soon disappeared, leaving only the lone Pokemon floating in the vast castle.
"Nini!"
Realizing it would never see the old king again, Bikitini cried sadly in its dream.
After an unknown period, it slowly opened its eyes and found itself still on the castle's terrace.
"Nini..."
Bikitini murmured softly, feeling the dampness on its face. It reached up with its small hand and touched its face, realizing that its tears had wet its fur.
After crying, Bikitini quietly flew out of the castle.
As the sun rose, a new day dawned in this world.
In the town, a tree grew beside the square.
Dreamy, in the form of a Burglar Cat, and Teddy stood on a branch, curiously observing the unfamiliar town.
People bustled through the town, young Trainers with backpacks excitedly weaved through the crowd, sometimes meeting eyes with someone and then holding hands as they disappeared into the bushes, heading for the open spaces scattered throughout the town for intense and thrilling Pokemon battles.
Others strolled leisurely, listening to the stories and legends of the town told by vendors on both sides of the street.
At this moment, Dreamy and Teddy noticed a stall with many oddly shaped dolls on display.
"Hmm?"
The two Pokemon curiously approached to take a closer look. Were they Pokemon? Just then, a tourist approached and asked the vendor about the dolls.
The vendor was an amiable old lady who enthusiastically introduced them:
"These are Victory Pokemon, Bikitini dolls."
"Bikitini?"
"It's said that this Pokemon has lived in this town for a long time, but almost no one can see it. They say that Bikitini bestows power and that long ago, its power protected the Earth Sword. If Trainers obtain these dolls, they'll receive Bikitini's blessing and win every battle!"
Hearing this, the Trainer's eyes lit up, and he immediately pointed to a small doll, saying:
"Please, give me one of those!"
"Hmm..." Teddy listened with confusion. Could it be that amazing?
"Miu." Dreamy shook its head, indicating that it didn't know either.
Ever since visiting the Infinite Maze, Dreamy realized that there were many things in this world that they didn't know about.
However, if there was such a saying, perhaps that Pokemon really did exist!
At noon, the two Pokemon found a quiet spot and sat on the roof, happily enjoying the delicious food made by Shizuru.
Regarding the disappearance of the food from yesterday, both Pokemon were a bit puzzled. Fortunately, the amount of food that had disappeared wasn't much, so they assumed that a hungry Pokemon must have taken it. Therefore, Dreamy and Teddy didn't pay much attention to it.
They opened their bags and took out a few Poke Fruits. But just as they were about to eat, something strange happened again.
The remaining Poke Fruits vanished once more!
"Miu..."
Dreamy's face was serious, clearly indicating that this was no longer a coincidence.
There must be a Pokemon somewhere they didn't know, using a method they didn't understand to steal the food.
Teddy looked into the bag, where only a few Poke Fruits were left...
This amount wouldn't be enough to sustain them until they reached the next destination.
Thinking about this, Teddy summoned the Lotad Phone and called Shizuru.
The call was quickly answered, and Shizuru's face appeared on the screen.
Dreamy was also drawn to the scene and moved closer, joining Teddy in recounting the events of the past two days to Shizuru.
"What? The Poke Fruits disappeared without any explanation?"
Upon hearing the Pokemon's story, Shizuru was a bit surprised.
"Did another Pokemon take them?"
"Miu..." Dreamy nodded. How else would the Poke Fruits suddenly disappear?
Back in the day, Dreamy had used similar tricks, using teleportation to stealthily take Poke Fruits and toys when no one was looking. But after watching that movie and becoming a great hero, it never did such things again.
"Alright, don't worry. There are still many Poke Fruits at home. I'll ask Rapidash to send you a new pack," Shizuru reassured them with a smile.
But as he spoke, he noticed something in the background behind Dreamy and Teddy.
The most striking thing was the massive sword embedded in the mountain in the distance, its entire blade sunk into the rock, making it hard to imagine what force could have done that.
That was...
Shizuru was momentarily stunned.
Dreamy and Teddy also noticed Shizuru's gaze and turned to look back, but they saw nothing and asked in confusion.
"Miu?"
"What?"
"Where are you now?" Shizuru couldn't help but ask.
Dreamy then remembered the name the humans had mentioned earlier.
It was called... Eindeoak, right?
"Miu!" Yes, it was Eindeoak!
Upon hearing this, Shizuru immediately understood what was going on.
Eindeoak was the setting of the movie "Bikitini and the Black and White Heroes"!
The so-called black and white heroes were none other than the real dragon Rexalam and the ideal dragon Ideakrom...
In that movie, there was a mischievous Pokemon that loved to play pranks, sharing its power and stealthily taking small snacks from others—Bikitini.
If his guess was correct, the culprit behind the "Poke Fruit theft" was probably that Bikitini!
Shizuru looked around but didn't see Bikitini anywhere nearby.
After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to Dreamy.
"Dreamy, use your psychic abilities to sense the surroundings."
"Miu?"
Dreamy shuddered and immediately began to try.
It closed its eyes, and the next moment, a powerful psychic energy surged from its body, spreading out rapidly in all directions from Dreamy.
Almost instantly, the various things around them were clearly displayed in Dreamy's mind.
The Burglar Cat resting on the roof, the Trashrat rummaging through a dumpster in a dark alley, the humans running on the street, the Season Deer playing in the distant valley...
Soon, Dreamy sensed the scent of the Poke Fruits made by Shizuru on one of the figures.
Found it!
It suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze locking onto a spot behind a chimney.
The next moment, Dreamy used teleportation, and it, along with Teddy and the Lotad Phone, vanished from their original spot and reappeared behind the chimney.
And there, a petite Pokemon with two large "V"-shaped ears was feasting on the Poke Fruit they had just lost!
It was none other than Bikitini, as Shizuru had mentioned.
"Miu!"
"Yimo!"
Dreamy and Teddy rushed towards Bikitini, ready to confront it.
At that moment, Bikitini, realizing it had been discovered, seemed slightly flustered.
It quickly vanished and turned to flee.
But Dreamy had already locked onto its position with Telekinesis, ensuring it could always locate Bikitini, even if it tried to hide.
Consequently, the situation turned into a chase, with Bikitini running ahead and Dreamy and Teddy, along with Lotad Phone, following closely behind.
Shizuru witnessed the entire scene through the camera on the Lotad Phone, leaving him momentarily speechless.
Just then, Anya, the receptionist at Nangguang Gym, came to inform him: "Gym Leader, there's another Trainer here to challenge the gym!"
Shizuru: "..."
This was a critical moment, and he couldn't afford any distractions. So, he replied, "I have something to attend to. Ask them to come back this afternoon."
Anya: "Okay."
The Gym Leader had the authority to make such decisions, and Anya left.
Shizuru refocused his attention on the Lotad Phone's screen.
He saw that Dreamy was chasing Bikitini, leaving Einodoak and heading towards a distant valley.
At the end of the valley stood a massive castle, with a gigantic sword blade embedded in the mountains.
Shizuru knew that this was the so-called "Dragon Vein."
Beneath the Earth Sword Fortress lay the Dragon Stone, and if one could pass the trial, Rexiram or Ideakrom would emerge to aid the challenger in fulfilling their mission.
Bikitini flew into the Earth Sword Fortress, followed closely by Dreamy and Teddy.
As soon as they entered, Bikitini hid, and Shizuru asked Dreamy and Teddy to stop and use the Lotad Phone to take pictures of the surrounding environment.
Although Dreamy and Teddy were puzzled, they obediently followed his instructions.
"As you can see, this massive castle is actually called the Earth Sword," Shizuru explained slowly.
"Miu?"
"The Pokemon you were chasing is named Bikitini. Since its Trainer passed away, it has been living here alone for over a thousand years." Shizuru continued.
Upon hearing this, Dreamy and Teddy were both stunned.
"Miu?!"
"Let me tell you a story!" Shizuru sat down and began.
A story?
Teddy immediately realized that the story might be related to the castle and Bikitini.
It exchanged a glance with Dreamy and then found a stone to sit on like a bench.
Seeing that the two Pokemon weren't chasing it, Bikitini quietly hid behind a massive pillar, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Long ago, Bikitini lived happily with its Trainer in this castle. The Trainer was the king of this land, and under his rule, the entire kingdom prospered. Humans, nature, and Pokemon coexisted harmoniously here."
"The king had a pair of twin princes who, by chance, encountered the dragon Pokemon Rexiram, representing truth, and the Pokemon Ideakrom, representing ideals."
"Later, as the king grew old, the princes were about to inherit the throne. However, they clashed over the kingdom's future, leading to a fierce war. The battle was intense, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Rexiram and Ideakrom consumed a lot of their life force and eventually turned into stones, falling into a long slumber."
"By the time the princes realized their mistakes, it was too late. The Dragon Vein's energy was in chaos, and the land was in ruins. Finally, the king, in a last-ditch effort to stop the destruction, erected Guardian Pillars around the castle and created a barrier with Bikitini's power, causing the Earth Sword to soar into the sky and land on the mountain peak where it currently stands."
"But afterward, the king's power was exhausted, and his life came to an end. He no longer had the strength to maintain the Guardian Pillars and the barrier, so he left them there."
"With the help of the old king and Bikitini, the chaotic Dragon Vein soon calmed down. The king passed away, and the princes deeply reflected on their actions and left."
"In the end, the castle was left with only Bikitini, who has been living there alone for nearly a thousand years."
"Bikitini couldn't leave because the Guardian Pillars and the barrier had trapped it in Einodoak forever."
