Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 4: Explorers of Space
Chapter 1: Old Memories and Return
Piplup is lying on the sand of the beach and enjoying the tranquility looming over him. He is on his back with his arms behind his head while his round head rests on a smooth rock as he gazes at the beautiful sunset accompanied by bubbles that the Krabby would always blow out. His red and white pokedotted bow and blue feathers blow gently in the summer wind as Piplup continues to watch the sunset.
The small penguin always comes down here to clear his thoughts whenever he feels stressed. However, he also comes here to have good memories of how it all began about a year ago. He smiles as he remembers that this is the exact spot where his adventures began with Chimchar, who is his best friend and team comrade. When he woke up, he was so freaked out about the fact that Pokémon could talk but mostly because he somehow transformed into a Pokémon himself. That question is answered when they were fighting the dark Legendary Darkrai, who reveals himself as the cause behind all the problems; from Piplup's transformation to the world being engulfed in darkness. With the help of his light counterpart Cresselia, Team PokéPals manages to save the world once again from darkness.
Piplup sighs as he thinks about everything that has happened so quickly despite that it is within six months since his first technical death. His thoughts revert to Grovyle, Celebi, and Dusknoir. He and Chimchar are aware that Dusknoir has helped with preventing the future from happening as well, but that doesn't help ease their tension with the ghost Pokémon because of his betrayal. The time master Dialga was kind enough to let the three Pokémon return and stay for a while. This event took place two nights ago and three days after defeating Darkrai…
:)(:
FLASHBACK- TWO NIGHTS AGO…
Piplup and Chimchar are eating dinner in their base, which is still in the mouth of Sharpedo Bluff. They are sitting in front of a campfire eating different kinds of berries. On either side of them are two other Pokémon eating dinner with them, making the four Pokémon form a circle around the fire.
One is a simple looking Pikachu that is wearing a green bandana while next to him is a Riolu that wears a plain red bandana. Both look about the same age as Piplup and Chimchar are, but they have a much younger aura within them.
"So what do you think we should do tomorrow, Piplup?" The Pikachu asks.
Piplup shrugs as he takes a bite out of his Oran Berry. "I really don't know, Pikachu. We are almost completely done with every mission out there. Not to mention that almost all of the Pokémon in the world are stopping committing crimes, so that makes finding missions harder."
This is true; ever since Team PokéPals defeated Darkrai, almost all of the Pokémon have stopped committing crimes and the rate of any thefts or such has dropped incredibly low to the point where there is nothing for anyone to do anymore. Anyone who needs help with something actually starts to take care of their own problems.
"Well, there's gotta be something we can do. But what?" The Riolu asks.
"I dunno… we'll think of something, Riolu." Chimchar smiles reassuringly to the blue jackal-like creature sitting next to him and pats him on the back. The Riolu smiles back at the fire monkey, knowing he is right.
Suddenly a bright light interrupts their conversation and they shield their eyes to avoid going blind. When it disappears after a brief moment, the heroes open their eyes to see that in front of them out of their base from the mouth floating above the sea is…
"Holy crap! It's Dialga!" Pikachu cries out, startled. He is so stunned that his mouth speaks out before he could think, and he immediately covers it with both his hands to keep quiet and blushes in embarrassment. Beside him, Riolu looks equally shocked, but after his friend yells he rolled his eyes. Piplup and Chimchar don't pay any attention to them; their focus is completely on Dialga.
Dialga doesn't seem too focused on the yellow mouse's exclamation either; he is staring intently at Piplup specifically.
"D-Dialga… what are you doing here?" Piplup manages to call out quietly. It is nighttime and almost everyone is asleep by now, so they have to keep their tones down.
Dialga says quietly, "I have something to show you and Chimchar, Piplup. But I need you to come down to the beach in order to see it." He then lowers himself down until he isn't seen. The four young Pokémon run towards the mouth edge to see that the time master is landing on the same beach where Chimchar and Piplup first met and then looks up at the four, waiting for them.
Getting the hint, Piplup nods and says to his friends, "Well, you heard him. Let's go!" He runs up the stairs to head down to the beach with his team following.
:)(:
Dialga waits patiently for Team PokéPals to arrive and rests in the ocean waves to relax his tense muscles.
'I shouldn't be doing this,' he thinks, 'but after Piplup and Chimchar saved my life, I owe more to them. Besides, Crystal told me to do this and once she makes her decision it is final. There is absolutely no point into trying to change that girl's mind, being Arceus' child and all…' Dialga is so enthralled with his thoughts that he doesn't even realize the smaller Pokémon are standing in front of him and waiting for him to speak.
Never being the patient one, Pikachu calls out, "Hey! Arceus to Earth to Dialga! Anyone there!" He waves his arms wildly to try to get the Legendary's attention despite Riolu, Chimchar, and Piplup's protests and restraints to keep him quiet.
Dialga then blinks after realizing that the heroes are standing in front of him. He shakes his head, which grabs their attention. They all let go of the crazed Pikachu as he straightens himself out.
"I apologize," Dialga says looking down at the small team. "I was lost in my thoughts."
Piplup nods in understanding. Lately he has been doing the same thing every night and couldn't shake off the feeling of emptiness that is developing in him. However, he doubts that Dialga has an empty feeling as well…
"Who might these two be?" Dialga asks looking at Riolu and Pikachu with slight curiosity and slight suspicion.
Chimchar replies, "These are our best recruits and team members, Riolu and Pikachu. We met them in Crystal Cavern after helping them find their jewel and they asked to join us." The two mentioned creatures nod, confirming that is what happened about three months ago right after Team PokéPals graduate from Wigglytuff's Guild.
"Hmm." Is all Dialga says before turning his attention back to Piplup. "I came here by order of my boss. She requests that you have a chance to speak to Grovyle and Celebi. For what, I do not know."
Immediately Piplup and Chimchar's eyes widen as the time master mentions both grass Pokémon that they thought they'd never see again. They feel joy rise in their chests at the thought of seeing their friends again, even if it is temporary. Behind them Riolu and Pikachu glance at each other in confusion, wondering what the Legendary is talking about.
"But I thought you aren't allowed to do such a thing." Chimchar points out while staring suspiciously at Dialga and raising a brow. "Who exactly told you to do this?"
For the first time, the Pokémon see that Dialga looks extremely uncomfortable with the question and actually shifts his eyes all over the area to think of a perfect excuse. Immediately thinking of one, he says quickly, "Let's just say that she is a being of higher status than me and leave it at that."
'She?' Piplup and Chimchar think together wondering who could possibly talk Dialga into disregarding his regulations. In addition, if 'she' could actually make Dialga sound nervous about mentioning her, she must be very powerful and persuasive.
Deciding that questioning will be pointless and wanting to see his friends again, Piplup says, "All right, Dialga. We would like to see our friends again. But what's the catch?"
"Only one," Dialga says sounding relieved that they don't press the discussion further and returns to the main topic. "You have exactly two hours to spend time with each other. After that, don't plan to see each other again for a long time."
Piplup and Chimchar's faces immediately fall at this, not expecting such a catch. Dialga and the other two recruits look at the two sympathetically, knowing that the kids are close to Grovyle and that they don't like the thought of leaving him again.
However, Piplup looks up with a forced smile and says, "OK. That's fine. Any moment seeing Grovyle and Celebi again is good enough for me." Beside him, Chimchar looks up and smiles as well, agreeing with his penguin friend.
"…Very well then. Wait here for a moment." Dialga says as he stands up to his full height. With an unexpected loud roar, he disappears in a bright light. Everyone shields their eyes from the light, and when the light disappears everyone looks up to find Dialga gone.
"Where'd he go?" Riolu asks looking around for the Legendary. Beside him, Pikachu does the same, looking completely lost.
"Knowing him, he's probably in the future getting Grovyle and Celebi." Piplup states while crossing his flippers and looking down. Chimchar looks on ahead, waiting patiently for Dialga to bring their friends back.
:)(:
MEANWHILE, IN THE FUTURE…
Grovyle is sitting on a cliff, lost deep in thought about Piplup and Chimchar. He hopes that they are doing okay without him and is eternally grateful that they have saved the beautiful future that he now lives in.
"Is everything all right, Grovyle?" A deep voice comes from behind Grovyle, interrupting his thoughts. The green lizard turns to see that Dusknoir is floating towards him, a look of concern crossing his one eye. He stops right beside Grovyle and places a hand on his friend's back.
"Is everything all right?" the ghost Pokémon repeats. Grovyle nods while trying to assure Dusknoir that he is fine.
"I'm fine, Dusknoir. I really am." He adds after seeing the disbelieving look the larger Pokémon holds. "I was just thinking about Piplup and Chimchar."
"Ah," Dusknoir states while positioning himself to sit next to Grovyle as he relaxes. "Do you want to talk about it?" He offers looking at his friend again.
Ever since they have defeated Primal Dialga and were brought back to live in the new future, Grovyle and Dusknoir have developed a stronger bond and now see each other as brothers somewhat. They know almost everything about each other and they trust each other completely.
"No," Grovyle replies, "I just hope that they're both all right." Dusknoir takes his hand off Grovyle's shoulder and places it at his side.
"Don't worry, Grovyle. I'm sure that they are fine. After all, if they could stop Primal Dialga then I'm sure that they can take care of themselves." He states with humor in an attempt to make his friend smile.
Indeed, Grovyle smiles and chuckles at Dusknoir's statement. "True… but I sure do miss them."
"Miss who?" An elegant voice speaks out, startling the two Pokémon slightly. They both turn to see a pink Celebi with bright green eyes floating towards them with a huge smile across her face. "Missing me? Oh, my dear Grovyle! I had no idea that you love me that much!"
Dusknoir laughs as he sees Grovyle's face turn red. The lizard turns to face the open valley in front of him to cover his embarrassment.
Celebi giggles and floats to Grovyle's other side. "Oh, dear Grovyle. You know that I am just messing with you, right?" She asks.
"Yeah, I know…" Grovyle shakes away his embarrassment as he looks at the sunset and admires its beauty. Now that things are back to normal, he can watch the sunrise and sunset whenever he likes. "I was just thinking about Piplup and Chimchar."
"Oh Grovyle, you silly thing!" Celebi states and floats to face him fully. "You are just being paranoid. I'm sure that they are fine." She pinches his cheek playfully. He gently pushes her hand away, uncomfortable by the obvious flirting.
"Isn't that what I just said a moment ago…?" Dusknoir cuts in while crossing his arms in a stern and pouting manner. After the past few months, he starts to get the playful side of him to come out and now understands the meaning of teasing, sarcasm, and fun.
"Yeah…" Grovyle says as he watches Celebi land on his other side. "But I just wish that I could have a chance to see them again and catch up on some things. I never had a chance to talk with them other than about finding Time Gears and getting back to the present."
"Me too…" Celebi states knowing that she also barely had the chance to meet the two officially. She was too busy sending them back to the present and she hasn't seen them since.
"As do I…" Dusknoir agrees. Seeing the two look at him, he continues. "Those two proved themselves worthy and they are good kids. I regret having to deceive them and wish to make it up with them, even if it's only temporary."
"So you have wished it, so it shall be…" A deep voice speaks out of nowhere, alarming the three Pokémon and ending the discussion. All three jump up to their feet (flying or floating for Dusknoir and Celebi's cases) and prepare themselves for a fight. There are still some bad Pokémon out there, so the friends always need to be on guard.
However, they couldn't find the owner of the voice anywhere. They drop their stances and look around cautiously. Suddenly a bright light explodes in front of them, making them shield their eyes. When it clears, they see what looks like a Dimensional Hole hovering over the cliff.
Dusknoir exclaims, "Be careful! We do not know where that portal can take us! Stay as far away from it as possible!" Grovyle and Celebi nod in acknowledgment and back away. The three continue to look for the owner of the voice as they also glance in slight suspicion at the portal.
Suddenly, all three heroes feel a rough push on their backs and they find themselves falling straight into the portal. All they could do is scream as they go through the dazzling patterns of the tunnel leading to who knows where. The vortex is so strong that none of the heroes could try to fly out despite their determination. All they can do is allow the portal to send them to what they think is their death…
:)(:
BACK TO THE PRESENT…
Dialga returns to the present five minutes later. His unexpected return startles Team PokéPals. He moves aside as a Dimensional Hole appears, alarming everyone again.
After a few seconds, they hear echoing screams coming from the portal. The yells become louder until three figures fly out of the portal, the largest figure landing on the two smaller beings in the process.
"D-Dusknoir!" Piplup and Chimchar exclaim, backing away as fear covers their expressions. Meanwhile, a voice speaks out from under the slightly dazed Dusknoir and everyone could vaguely make out the words.
"D-Dusknoir…" The voice heaves as the owner tries to move the heavy Pokémon off itself. "… Get off us… Oy…"
Hearing the voice, Dusknoir comes to and exclaims, "Oh, Grovyle and Celebi! I am so sorry! Let me help you both up!" The ghostly creature forces himself to float and reveals a nearly flattened Grovyle and Celebi on the ground. Seeing the two makes Piplup and Chimchar freeze in shock as they could barely believe their eyes.
Dusknoir holds both Grovyle and Celebi by the shoulders and helps them up to their feet (fly in Celebi's case). The two start to dust sand off themselves as Dusknoir resumes his apology.
"I am so sorry! I had no control of where I was going to land! I-"
"It's fine, Dusknoir. Don't worry about it." Grovyle interrupts his friend and gives him a reassuring look. Celebi does the same before saying, "He's right, Dusknoir. It was an-" She stops in midsentence as she spots Piplup and Chimchar gawking at them. She turns absolutely silent and stares back with eyes wide.
Soon Grovyle and Dusknoir turn to see what she is looking at and freeze as well, eyes wide as the heroes engage in a starting contest. There is absolute silence between everyone; Pikachu and Riolu are watching in silence with confused and curious looks while Dialga holds a knowing smile and waits for the outcome.
Soon Piplup breaks the tense silence. "Grovyle!" He cries out running towards the green lizard and giving him the biggest hug he could give. Grovyle kneels down and returns the hug. He is equally happy to see his old friend again.
"Grovyle!" Chimchar exclaims soon afterward running over to the lizard for a hug. The hugging session continues for a while and during this time everyone keeps watching. Dusknoir and Celebi smile at the sight of their friends reunited. Dusknoir then remembers that Dialga is in the area. He jumps while blurting out, "Master Dialga!"
This makes everyone look at him before looking up at Dialga. Grovyle and Celebi look equally surprised to see the Legendary. Their gaze rests on the tall being as they back away in slight fear. Dialga smiles again and says, "Do not fear me, young ones. I am merely here by order of Cry- er… my boss." Dialga changes the ending after catching himself quickly.
Fortunately, no one hears this part but the heroes nod in understanding regardless. "What does that have to do with us, though?" Dusknoir asks respectfully.
"Part of the order is to bring you back to see Chimchar and Piplup for two hours straight so that way you can catch up on things. I have simply just granted you your wish. I must go now. Do not take your time together for granted."
Dialga then disappears before anyone could say anything. With a flash of light, he is gone.
There is heavy silence between the seven Pokémon. It stays like that for a while until Pikachu decides to break the ice.
"Hey…who are these guys?" He points at Grovyle and the other two. His expression is a question mark and beside him Riolu looks equally confused.
"These are our friends Grovyle and Celebi. You know, the ones we talked about?" Chimchar points at the two grass Pokémon as he tries to refresh the mouse's memory.
The two creatures stare at the grass Pokémon blankly until Pikachu says, "Oh, that's right! You mean about the thief Grovyle who is actually a good guy and Celebi who has a cr-!" His mouth is immediately covered by Riolu, who glares at the yellow mouse warningly. Apparently he thinks the yellow mouse said too much.
"We remember." Riolu states with his hand still over Pikachu's mouth. He looks at Grovyle and Celebi curiously as he slowly lets go of the mouse. Then he notices the large ghost behind the two and asks, "And I'm guessing that's Dusknoir?"
Piplup and Chimchar nod as they glare at the ghost. They steady themselves to prepare to fight if they have to.
Dusknoir looks somewhat sad as he holds out both hands to ensure that he means no harm to the heroes. "Please…Piplup and Chimchar… I have changed for the best." He tries to spark something in them but it doesn't work.
"Yeah, right! Just like we thought you were our friend when you were actually our enemy the whole time months ago!" Chimchar sneers holding up his balled fists as he glares at the ghost Pokémon.
Dusknoir hesitates before lowering his head in ashamed agreement. It is true; he did use them to avoid changing the future. Plus, he did try to kill them multiple times.
"Piplup and Chimchar, please listen to what he has to say," Grovyle says, surprising the two. They look at the lizard as if he has lost his mind. Grovyle walks up and stands protectively in front of the ghost as he adds, "He is telling the truth. He helped us defeat Primal Dialga in the future. He has changed for the best. You have no reason to be afraid of him."
The two Pokémon look at Grovyle before settling their gazes on Dusknoir, wondering if this is some sort of a joke. Grovyle and Dusknoir merely wait for their responses in anticipation.
Piplup stares at the ghost Pokémon carefully for a long time. After another moment of silence, he says, "…Okay. If Grovyle has a reason to trust you, then I guess I can too. But I will still keep a sharp watch on you." He and Chimchar give pointed looks to Dusknoir.
Dusknoir does not expect anything less, so he merely nods. "Thank you. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Soon the heroes start to introduce themselves and talk about all their adventures. Chimchar mostly explains what has happened on their encounter with Darkrai.
"So let me get this straight," Dusknoir says while rubbing where his chin would be thoughtfully. Everyone is sitting in a circle in front of a small campfire made while the heroes share some berries plucked from nearby trees.
"Your transformation is caused by a Legendary Pokémon named Darkrai, who originally planned to punish Grovyle," Dusknoir points at a surprised Grovyle. "But you took the hit for Grovyle, which results to you losing your memory and transforming into a Pokémon. Darkrai did all of this to create a world of darkness for his own pleasure, but you two and Cresselia defeat him. So now he is somewhere in this planet with his memory gone?"
"Yup, that pretty much sums it up." Piplup says taking a bite out of his Oran Berry.
"And you have no idea how hard it was to take him down." Chimchar adds as he crosses his legs.
"I just have one question," Celebi states sounding serious, surprising everyone. She is never usually serious. Everyone looks at her.
"What if he didn't lose his memory?" she asks sounding slightly scared. This makes everyone go silent. She has a point; Team PokéPals hasn't seen Darkrai since the incident, and even still they have no proof that he did lose his memory.
Piplup is about to respond until a bright light flashes before him. Dusknoir, Grovyle, and Celebi turn to see that Dialga has returned.
"Time is up, young ones. I must take you three back to the future." He addresses to the three Pokémon that are now standing or floating before him.
"Already?" Grovyle asks looking disappointed. He turns to face his smaller friends and says, "Chimchar, take good care of Piplup again for me. You have done a good job of it so far."
"Grovyle, don't go." Piplup rushes over to his friend and hugs him tightly, startling the lizard slightly. He sounds very upset. Behind him, Chimchar looks equally upset while Pikachu and Riolu hold solemn looks.
"Hey, I'll always be your friend, Piplup," Grovyle hugs Piplup back while smiling weakly. Piplup sniffles before saying, "Okay." He lets go of Grovyle and backs away slowly.
"It was nice seeing you all again." Piplup says to Dusknoir and Celebi. He looks back at Grovyle's sad smile.
"Same here. I will miss you all." Celebi says on the verge of crying. Dusknoir holds a grim look as he says, "Indeed. It was nice to see you again."
Everyone backs away from each other. The three future beings slowly move to face Dialga and wait for him to do his thing.
Meanwhile, Dialga looks like he is deep in thought about something. He ignores the heroes' confused looks as he focuses on what he is thinking.
Actually, he is mentally speaking with another being.
'Dialga, I need them to stay for even longer than that.' The mysterious voice speaks. It is apparently a female's voice, but there is a hint of annoyance behind the tone.
'But you said that they could stay with each other for a temporary time. Now I must take them back.' Dialga says sounding slightly irritated.
'I said for a temporary time, not two hours!' The female snaps, startling Dialga. Apparently, this girl must be more powerful than he is to scare him. 'I want those three to stay here for a while. I do not know for how long, but get that part right and tell them that they can stay here until I say otherwise.'
Seeing that it is pointless to argue, Dialga sighs. '…Very well, Princess. Your wish is my command.' He is about to end the conversation until the voice speaks up again.
'Before you go,' the voice speaks and trails off. Dialga waits patiently for the owner to finish. 'Tell them that I will see them in a few days with an important task. I am going to meet them personally, so make sure that you tell them my name so that way they will know who to look for.'
Dialga raises a brow at this request. He then shrugs and mentally replies, 'Very well, Crystal.'
'Good. I will speak with you later.' With that, the owner of the voice cuts off the mental link and ends the conversation. Dialga shakes his head and looks down to see that the heroes are giving him strange looks.
"I apologize, everyone. I was speaking mentally with my boss." Dialga explains. Everyone raises an eyebrow at this statement.
"Who?" Riolu asks stepping up.
"She goes by the name of Crystal. She has powers that overlap my own. She told me that you all must stay together for a while. Maybe for days, weeks, months, or possibly even years."
The heroes fall silent at this, hardly believing their ears. There is a female being that has more power than Dialga himself? And more importantly, Grovyle, Celebi, and Dusknoir could stay even longer?
"Are you serious?" Piplup squeaks betraying a hint of happiness and hope through his tone.
Dialga nods. He smiles as he sees the heroes cheer and start to hug each other, overjoyed by the sudden change. Pikachu then thinks of something before looking up at Dialga and asking, "Out of curiosity, why does this 'Crystal' want us together in the first place?"
Everyone looks at Pikachu and then looks up at Dialga, wondering about this as well. The Legendary replies, "For what, I do not know. However, I will tell you this: she says that she will meet you in person within the next few days with an important task. She could take on any form so pay close attention."
"You mean she is a psychic that can transform into anything?" Chimchar asks.
"Yes. I must take my leave now. It is getting dark. Enjoy your time together, but in the meantime look for any girl who looks noticeably different." With that, Dialga is engulfed in a bright light and disappears, leaving a confused group of Pokémon behind.
There is slight silence as everyone stares at the spot where Dialga disappeared. Then the heroes look at each other.
"Well," Chimchar says breaking the moment of silence. "This will make a very nice change. How about we all go to the Guild and show everyone that you three are back? We'll put in a good word for you all to join our team."
Grovyle, Celebi, and Dusknoir nod liking the idea. Dusknoir is slightly hesitant but no one blames him. After tricking Piplup and Chimchar in the past, the two heroes must have told everyone in the Guild about what had happened when they were in the future.
"Don't worry, Dusknoir." Grovyle says patting on Dusknoir's arm reassuringly. "You've got me to help you out."
"Yeah, that's true." Dusknoir says as they all start to head towards Treasure Town. He holds a relieved look before it turns into a mock hopeless stare. "I'm doomed."
"What?" Grovyle barks, insulted. Dusknoir laughs and says, "See ya!" He flies towards the stairs away from the green lizard, who is chasing after the ghost while shaking a fist in the air. "Get back here Dusknoir! That way I can rip your eye out and stuff it down your skirt so you can watch me kick your ass!" Dusknoir only response is an amused laugh.
Behind them everyone watches in silence, surprised by how much Dusknoir really did change. He is showing a more fun side of him that seems oxymoronic for the older ghost. But it's a nice change.
"Men..." Celebi sighs shaking her head. She then chases after the men with the attempt to keep them quiet.
Pikachu looks like he wants to join in on the fun too, judging by the excited look he holds on his face. Soon he calls out, "HEY! Wait for us!" He begins to chase after the three, running on all four of his tiny paws.
"Pikachu! Keep quiet! Other people are sleeping around here!" Riolu yells after him, clueless that he is being as equally loud. The blue jackal chases after the yellow mouse and disappears over the stairs.
Piplup and Chimchar look at each other briefly before deciding what the heck; everyone will definitely be surprised that Chimchar and Piplup's other friends have returned. They would want to be awake to meet them. Therefore, the two heroes decide to join in on the fun.
"WAIT UP, GUYS!" Chimchar yells as loud as he could while running up the stairs towards the Guild with Piplup slowly following. The penguin vaguely wonders who this 'Crystal' girl is, but he decides that he should worry about it later. He then runs up to join his soon-to-be enlarged team waking the entire town up.
:)(:
"Piplup!" A voice calls out, snapping Piplup out of his memories. He turns his head to see that Celebi and Riolu are running towards him, both waving their arms to grab his attention.
He sits up and smiles at his friends. When they catch up to him, they are out of breath. Holding up a finger for Piplup to wait, Riolu pants and coughs slightly. Soon he regains his posture and stands up straight. He says, "Hey, Piplup. It's nearly time for dinner and the others are waiting for you back at the base."
"And you know how impatient Pikachu is." Celebi adds, her green eyes sparkling in amusement. Piplup laughs as he stands up on his feet, getting an idea of Pikachu no doubt throwing a fit over eating.
"All right. Let's go." He says after he brushes some sand off himself. The other two nod and all three heroes start to head back to the base, Celebi floating on Piplup's left side while Riolu is on his right side. They start a new topic about new technique moves as they walk to their base.
Meanwhile, a pair of gold eyes appears from behind the bushes of the forest close to the beach. The owner watches the three Pokémon walk away while happily chatting to each other. Its eyes are narrowed in a calm and lazy manner. The narrowed pupils in the eyes make the owner look like a lizard.
After watching the heroes disappear, the mysterious being murmurs in a feminine voice, "Very soon, Gavin. Your destiny will be fulfilled." With that said, the eyes disappear with the owner running off into the forest. Her white scales glisten under the sun like diamonds.
