Chapter 587: Transcending Time and Space with Yearning
Chapter 587: Transcending Time and Space with Yearning
On June 20, 202 of the League Calendar, Dreamy and Teddy destroyed the Guardian Pillars in Eindeoak.
As the pillars crumbled, the barrier surrounding Eindeoak was also dispelled.
Three Pokemon rode on Rapidash, the delivery Pokemon sent by Shizuru, and hurriedly made their way to Shizuru's ranch from the Unova Region.
Upon landing, Bikitini immediately looked at Shizuru with pleading eyes, seeking the human who promised to help it meet the Elder King once more.
"Bikitini?!"
"Don't worry, I know you want to see him, but before we begin, there's something I need to tell you first," Shizuru said.
"Bikitini?"
Bikitini looked at him with teary eyes.
Shizuru took out the remaining portion of the Wish Omelette and said to Bikitini, "This dish can help you fulfill your wish, but I can't guarantee the outcome. It might only allow you to meet the Elder King in your dreams, or it might bring him back to you. The effect depends on you."
"The stronger your wish, the better the result will be," Shizuru said earnestly.
He hoped that Bikitini would take some time to contemplate before consuming the dish.
Upon hearing this, Bikitini gazed at the food before it and soon became lost in its memories.
A wish? It wanted to see the Elder King again, to stay by his side, and it didn't want to witness him losing his life due to overexertion...
"Bikitini..." Qi Shu, who was standing nearby, had already heard Shizuru's story about this Pokemon, and her heart filled with a mix of pity and concern.
Shizuru gently held her hand, silently comforting her that everything would be alright.
Bikitini recalled the past— the battle between the Black and White Dragons, the destruction of the Dragon Vein, and the Elder King borrowing its power to suppress the Dragon Vein.
After that, the Elder King exhausted his life force and left it.
The once-prosperous castle stood empty, leaving only Bikitini behind to endure over a thousand seasons alone.
No, it didn't want this!
Tears welled up in Bikitini's eyes, and it almost shouted, "Bikitini—!"
It wanted to see him, to stop what had happened in the past! The next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from Bikitini, and infinite energy surged from its body.
Bikitini's eyes became resolute, and it picked up the small portion of the Wish Omelette, determined to eat it.
In an instant, the dazzling light from Bikitini filled the entire house.
Shizuru and the other Pokemon instinctively shielded their eyes.
Like a DNA spiral, colorful light rapidly emanated from Bikitini, and everything around them began to change dramatically.
After an unknown amount of time, the light from Bikitini gradually faded, and the previously quiet surroundings suddenly buzzed with activity.
Shizuru opened his eyes wide, only to realize that they had somehow left the ranch and arrived at an unfamiliar place!
The architecture here exuded a medieval style, with cobblestone streets and people dressed in classical attire. Women wore simple dresses, while men donned long robes made of coarse linen.
These people covered their mouths, their faces filled with astonishment as they gazed at the strangers who had suddenly appeared on the street.
"Where are we?" Qi Shu looked around, bewildered.
Shizuru's gaze instantly fell upon the massive Earth Sword Fortress atop the distant mountain range, and he calmly said, "We might have traveled back to the past of Eindeoak..."
Was this Bikitini's wish? In an instant, Shizuru understood what had happened.
Bikitini's yearning for the Elder King transcended time and space. The infinite energy within its body resonated with the Wish Omelette, amplifying its effect and transporting them back in time!
After a brief moment of shock, Bikitini also noticed the familiar castle in the distance.
Its eyes widened in disbelief, tears glistening as it exclaimed, "Bikitini!"
Clearly, Bikitini recognized this place— one it could never forget!
As the crowd around them grew, Shizuru turned to Dreamy and said, "Dreamy, take us away from here!"
"Miu!"
Instantly, they vanished from their original spot and reappeared on another hilltop, devoid of people.
Bikitini excitedly gazed at the distant castle, then turned to Shizuru, Dreamy, and the others, exclaiming, "Bikitini!"
It had returned! It had gone back to the past! The Elder King was right there in that castle!
Bikitini couldn't wait to go and see its Trainer.
"Let's go then!" Shizuru laughed, speaking to Bikitini.
Bikitini immediately wanted to fly away, but suddenly turned to look at the Pokemon and humans who had helped it.
"Nini!" Everyone, let's go together!
"Miu!"
"Yeah!"
Dreamy and Teddy readily agreed. Since they had decided to help Bikitini, they would see it through and accompany Bikitini back! The two Pokemon turned to look at Shizuru and Qi Shu, who exchanged a glance before shifting their gaze to Gogoat.
A minute later, Gogoat carried Shizuru and Qi Shu towards the Earth Sword Fortress.
Bikitini flew ahead excitedly, turning and dancing in the air, while Dreamy and Teddy smiled and kept it company.
Watching this scene, Qi Shu felt a bit worried.
"If Bikitini returns to the past, will there be two Bikitinis existing simultaneously in this time?" She asked.
Shizuru nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it should be."
However, the problem was that he couldn't confirm the current time, and he wasn't sure if the battle between the Black and White Dragons had occurred.
Qi Shu was already pregnant, and Shizuru didn't want her to come along on this adventure.
But Qi Shu had already guessed his thoughts, "It's fine. Since we're here, if there's any danger, I'll immediately hide behind you with the baby."
Shizuru was helpless, but since that was the case, they would go and take a look together!
The Earth Sword Fortress was located atop the mountain right above the town.
Soon, the group arrived at the base of the castle.
Strangely, the place was silent, and there wasn't a single guard in sight.
That shouldn't be right? Logically, the guards at this type of castle should be extremely strict!
Shizuru looked at Bikitini, but Bikitini didn't seem to pay attention to this detail.
Its focus at this moment was entirely on the Trainer it was about to meet.
The first floor of the Earth Sword was the Royal Hall, and there were still no guards here. The area was empty, and the red carpet leading to the throne was covered in dust. Golden sunlight filtered through the windows, illuminating the dust.
At the end of this long red carpet stood a majestic throne.
On the throne sat an elderly man wearing a crown, dressed in splendid robes, and exuding a decaying aura.
He supported his head with his hand and sat silently on the throne, his eyes closed as if resting.
Upon seeing this man, Bikitini's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Nini!" It cried out in excitement.
The old man was startled awake. He opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the unexpected visitors with surprise.
But the next moment, Bikitini's voice suddenly stopped, as it noticed another Bikitini by the old man's side— its past self!
"Nini..." Bikitini stood there, momentarily unsure of what to do.
Dreamy and Teddy also saw the other Bikitini and didn't know what to do either.
"Who are you?" The old king looked at the man and woman in strange attire. "Why have you come here?"
But as he spoke, his gaze suddenly fell on the Bikitini, and the old king felt a sense of familiarity. He stood frozen in place.
Shizuru and Qi Shu exchanged glances, and Shizuru replied, "We're from the future."
"The future?" The old king looked at the man who spoke with cloudy eyes.
"A thousand years in the future, the Earth's people will lose their bond with the land, scatter across the world, and the two princes chosen by the White and Black Dragons will wage a fierce war due to their opposition, causing the Dragon Vein to go out of control. You will borrow the power of Bikitini to suppress the Dragon Vein."
"But you will lose your life due to excessive consumption, leaving only Bikitini behind in the castle. It's been over a thousand years, and Bikitini has made a wish to see you, so we've come here."
Bikitini...
Hearing these words, the old king was stunned.
He looked at the Bikitini beside him and then at the Bikitini across from him.
No wonder... No wonder he felt so familiar!
But upon hearing about the future, the old king frowned.
The old king had grown old, and the two new kings had begun to fight for the throne; this didn't surprise the old king.
However, could his two sons have made such a grave mistake?
As their father, the old king found it hard to believe, as he had watched them grow up since they were young.
Those two children were so brave...
"Bikitini," the old king called out.
Bikitini's eyes were already filled with tears, and upon hearing its Trainer's call, it couldn't hold back anymore. It cried and flew over.
Upon seeing Bikitini's appearance, the Elder King reached out and patted its head. "You must have been very lonely all these years, haven't you?"
Bikitini burst into tears, "Nini!"
The past Bikitini tilted its head, looking at the scene in confusion.
After a long while, the Elder King sighed slowly, his aged and cloudy gaze falling upon the two below.
"Because of Bikitini, I'm willing to believe in you, and as you said, my two sons started a war due to their differing ideals... The guards in the castle have also chosen their new kings. Although I wanted to stop it all, I'm too old, and I can't stop them anymore." The Elder King spoke slowly.
Shizuru remained silent, unsure of what to say. He didn't know what to say either.
So Rexalam and Ideakrom had already chosen the two princes?
Where was Chielem now?
Seeing that they didn't speak, the Elder King asked, "What are your names?"
"I'm Shizuru," he introduced himself. "This is my wife, Qi Shu."
"Thank you very much for helping Bikitini. Please stay in the castle tonight! I'll have someone come and take good care of you." The Elder King said.
"Thank you very much," Shizuru replied.
They had been brought to the past Einodoak by Bikitini's wish, and they hadn't found a way back yet, so they could only agree for the time being.
The Elder King called for an old woman, and under her guidance, the two arrived at a luxuriously decorated room.
As soon as she left, Qi Shu asked worriedly, "How will we get back to the ranch?"
Shizuru spread his hands, "I don't know either. The only way for now is to go to the Sinnoh Region and find the Time God Arceus, and ask it to send us back to the future."
Qi Shu: "...But if we're gone for too long, everyone at the ranch will be worried."
Shizuru was also a bit troubled about this.
He looked at Gogoat.
The two stared at each other, human and Pokemon.
"Ah gah!" Gogoat didn't know how to get back either! But it was certain that Shizuru had eventually returned to the ranch.
"It's fine, it won't be a problem for a short time. The Caretaker Brothers and Sisters will take care of everything." Shizuru reassured her.
Since Bikitini's wish was to go back to the past and meet the Elder King, they should automatically return to the future after the wish was fulfilled.
But they hadn't gone back yet, could it be that Bikitini's true wish wasn't to see the Elder King?
What could it be then?
Shizuru carefully recalled the contents of the movie. If he remembered correctly, after suppressing the Dragon Vein, the Elder King had lost his life right in front of Bikitini.
That scene must have been a severe blow to Bikitini.
Could Bikitini's true wish be to stop the Elder King from dying?
"Hmm..."
"Miu..."
Dreamy and Teddy showed worried expressions.
They wondered how Bikitini was doing now.
They had just seen another Bikitini, which should be the past Bikitini. Could the two coexist peacefully? The Pokemon were filled with worry.
Qi Shu, on the other hand, had the mindset of making the best of the situation, as worrying wouldn't help.
She excitedly stood by the castle window, gazing at the bustling ancient town in the distance, then tugged on Shizuru's arm, "Since we're here, let's go explore that place together!"
Shizuru didn't mind, and he looked at Gogoat, Dreamy, and Teddy, asking, "Do you guys want to go out for a walk?"
Gogoat nodded eagerly, "Ah gah!"
Dreamy and Teddy also didn't know what to do, so they decided to accompany the two and play outside.
So, the two prepared to sneak out with the Pokemon, but soon Shizuru realized that their current clothing was too eye-catching, and they would definitely attract attention if they went out.
After a brief thought, the two found the old woman from earlier.
After explaining their situation, the old woman found them two sets of local clothing. However, when she looked at Gogoat, her eyes showed a hint of fear.
Shizuru noticed this but wasn't surprised, as this kind of reaction was not uncommon, even in the future, due to Gogoat's intimidating appearance.
After changing into the new clothes, they thanked the old woman, and under her astonished gaze, they left with Gogoat, Dreamy, and Teddy.
Leaving the old woman standing there in a daze.
That Beastmaster could tame such a fearsome Beast!
After living in the capital for so many years, the old woman had never seen such a skilled Beastmaster.
