Hello all. Let's continue with the story.
(Celebi's POV)
I had so many emotions after Lydia finished telling me her story: fear, anger, sadness, happiness, and confusion. "I am so sorry, Celebi. I thought you and Grovyle were the enemy but now I know that you aren't. I really want to help you guys stop this future no matter what the risk." I looked into her eyes and I could feel in my heart that she was telling the truth. "Okay. I trust you for now." She smiled at me. "Thank you so much, Celebi. You won't regret it."
Suddenly we heard a low groan, we looked down to see Grovyle stirring. He was waking up. "Grovyle, are you okay?" He blinked a few times and opened then slightly. "What happened?" He asked. "You saved me from Crobat's toxic. After I escape from Dusknoir clutches and brought you here, Celebi and I worked together to help heal you from the poison. I guess it's my way of saying thank you for healing me from the poison I got." She said. Grovyle smiled. "Heh, guess you're right about that."
"You should get more sleep, Grovyle. Celebi and I will watch you." He nodded and fell back asleep. I looked at Lydia and smiled. 'She really does want to help us.'
"Celebi, is it normal to have visions when you touch something?" Lydia said shaking me out of my thoughts. "No, not really. Why do you ask?"
"Well, when I was getting Grovyle some water earlier I grabbed a leaf and I got a dizzy feeling. Then suddenly a saw a blueish green gear. I have no idea what it was but it felt important."
"Weird. Could that be your special ability you were talking about earlier?" I asked. "I don't know. I know little to nothing about my ability. I just know it has special requirements. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful."
I put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It's fine. Don't worry about it. But when Grovyle wakes up, we will need to discuss what we are going to do about Dusknoir and Crobat."
"I am not sure. Both will be hard to beat, not to mention both you and Grovyle are grass Pokémon so you both will have a disadvantage to Crobat, who is a poison, flying Pokémon. Not to mention Crobat knows toxic which will be incredible strong. I just don't how we will be able to defeat them." Lydia said sadly. I sighed. She is right me and Grovyle do have a disadvantage but knowing Grovyle he won't care.
"Lydia, I know it seems hopeless. But something tells me that you are Grovyle will be an unstoppable team if the two of you work together." I said while looking at her with serious eyes.
She looked at me and smiled. "Thanks, Celebi. You're right. I trust Grovyle and he trusts me. When Grovyle wakes up, we can discuss our plan to save the barren future." I nodded. 'I just hope nothing bad happens to either of them.'
(Dusknoir's POV)
I was furious with Crobat and the Sableye. Not only did they allow Grovyle to escape but he escaped with Lydia. Now that he has her, he will be able to prevent this future. I went into Master Diagla's lair to speak to him.
"Master Diagla, Lydia has betrayed us. She is now working with Grovyle."
"Grrr…"
"…I understand. We must make sure Lydia's ability is not activated. She knows nothing about it anyway. If she learns to have a trusted Pokémon partner, then she will be able to prevent this future."
"Grrr…"
"…I understand. I will bring both Lydia and Grovyle here."
(Lydia's POV)
I was sitting in silence deep in my thoughts. 'I have never had visions before. How come I had one by touching a leaf? Maybe if I touched one again.' I grabbed a leaf that was close to me and nothing happened. I waited and waited but nothing happened. 'Weird. When I touched a leaf last time I got a vision, now nothing.' Suddenly I heard Grovyle stirring. "Grovyle, are you okay?" I asked as he opened his eyes. "I am fine. Better than when I first woke up." He looked around and noticed that Celebi was gone. "Where is Celebi?"
"Getting some food. I stayed here to keep an eye on you." He nodded in understanding. "Are you okay?" I nodded. "I am fine. Thanks to you. You were right. Dusknoir was just using me. Sorry I betrayed you."
"Don't be. You were afraid and deceived by Pokémon whom you thought you could trust."
"That's just it. I didn't trust Dusknoir, the sableye, or Crobat. I didn't just any of them. I was only working with them because they saved me. I didn't want to trust anyone after my village was destroyed. But after I met you, I felt like I could trust you." He sat up and smiled at me. "I am glad that you now trust me as I trust you."
"Thanks. I also wanted to talk to you about something."
"What?" He asked curiously. "When I was getting you some water earlier. I touch a leaf and I saw something."
"What did you see?"
"A gear. A blueish, green gear. But it was weird. Before I saw it, I got a dizzy feeling. It was so beautiful. Something tells me that that gear was important." He looked at me shocked. "Are you sure it was a blueish, green gear?" He asked me. I nodded. "Yes. I am positive. Why?"
"Because you saw a time gear." I looked at him confused. "A time gear? What is that?"
"A time gear is the only thing that can prevent this future from happening. If you saw one, then that could mean that there is one in this forest."
"But how?! They would have been destroyed when Temporal Tower fell over a thousand years ago. How could I have seen one… my ability…" He looked at me confused. "What?"
"My ability. It is called the Dimensional Scream. From what I have learned about it from Diagla, it can only be activated by certain conditions. Maybe I have to be touching something." I said. Then I realized something. "Grovyle, how do you know about time gears?" I asked curiously. "I read about them in Wigglytuff's Guild. I read about them taking an exploration to a lake and it had something called a time gear. According to the author, the time gear was very important since it could control time in a certain area. I then started to read more about them in their library and apparently, they should be able to prevent the paralysis of the planet."
"Wow. So, maybe you, me, and Celebi can work together to find all the time gears and save the planet." He nodded in agreement. "I agree. Together we can save this planet and the future."
I smiled in happiness but I just couldn't shake this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
That's it for now. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review please.
