The salty tangy breeze of the ocean filled my nostrils while I watched the water run up the shore then back into the sea. My mind was blank as I stared for hours at the sea. I hadn't the slightest idea how to properly digest my situation. The year was 2000, where I had been six at the time running around mindlessly in the maze of Ilex Forest. Yet, here was twelve year old me watching the sea on Route 219, just south of Sandgem. What could I do? I could continue my journey, but where would I go after I complete my adventures? My mind boggled with so many questions I had no answers to. This is too time consuming. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of splashing that was accompanied by the coughs of someone.
"Whoops, sorry about that! I was trying to surprise you, but instead I got some water up my nose." Snorted a raspy voice of a young girl with short black hair and a yellow ruffled swim suit as she stood up wiping her face.
"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to speak to anyone." I snapped.
"I know why you're upset, because you time travelled and have no idea why." She said with a big goofy grin.
"How did you know that?"
"Because I was alerted that a third person was chosen to be a time hopper." She continued, leaving me flabbergasted as I reached for my watch.
"See, you have the platinum watch, I have the pearl watch." She said while holding up a worn down watch that had pearls encrusted around the lid.
"So you can explain to me what happened? My name is Celia by the way." I responded as I held my hand out for to help her out of the water.
"My name is Jane, and just like you, Celebi choose me to be a watch holder." She explained to me about the properties of the watch. How to never activate it around other people and to be cautious of my time spent in a time period since once time runs out I'll be automatically transported back to my time. She was from Hoenn and had been a time hopper for a out a year already. She laughed with me at my confusion when I first realized I was in a different time.
"Celia, you can have all the fun you want with that watch, just never under any circumstances let anyone know about it." Jane reminded me as we parted ways.
"I'll be sure not to, I'll keep an eye out for you too."
"I promise you we can travel around for a bit with each other, I just got some stuff to do." She said as she released a beautiful Altaria she jumped on as she waved bye as they flew away.
How wonderful, I never would have imagined my journey would begin with me being entrusted a valuable item. The faint ticking of a clock filled my ears as smoke engulfed me and I return to my present time. Just like Jane said, tine travel was temporary. Faint rustling made my attention turn to a cute little bunny bouncing around. Looks like I found my first Pokemon to catch as it ended with Aurora using a Fire Fang in which I threw a Pokeball and caught it on the spot. I'm ready for my first gym battle, I have to make it through Jubilife first.
