-Chapter 36: Celebi The Time Walker-

-Treecko's POV-

I was still lying down as I looked around, and relaxed, in spite of the extreme pain that was still there.

I made it… Phoo…

Then, I was teleported again. I knew what it felt like by now. I re-appeared at the base of the cavern that I was kicked out of, lying on the ground, and in extreme pain still. I thought that the pain wouldn't carry through the worlds, but then again, the whole idea of dimensional travel made my brain want to explode.

I tried to sit up, but something in my body said nope, and I laid back down. I saw a light flash next to me, and a small pink pokemon with little fairy wings appeared at my side.

I recognized it from one of my previous dreams… It was the little one that Dusknoir was trying to get...

The pokemon rested its hand on my head, and at that moment, all of my pain went away, and I felt ridiculously tired, like I was being lulled to sleep by a Hypno…

With a voice that was as soft as grass, she gently said, "Rest, my dear Treecko… I have been watching over you for a long while now."

I tried to speak, but all at once, my eyes closed, and I fell into a dreamless sleep that seemed to last only for a moment. When I awoke, the pink Pokemon was gone, and I was alone at the entrance to the Insurgo's base.

I walked in warily, and when I reached the end of the tunnel, it looked like the entire cavern was an emergency center, with maybe a dozen blissey, big, pink egg-shaped pokemon with nurse's hats, running around and helping treat the wounded.

How did they get human hats…? Never mind that, how long was I dead? This place looks almost completely different from when I was kicked out… And there are a ton of injured pokemon… Was there another attack?

I bandaged my mark, trying to blend in, but it ended up that I didn't need to. Every pokemon that wasn't incapacitated was helping out, carrying pokemon that were injured, and healing pokemon like audino and chansey were being the nurses, healing scrapes and wounds that the blissey could do easily. The blissey were treating the more serious injuries, like gashes and severe bruises.

I walked through the maze of pokemon lying on the ground, trying not to get trampled on by the bigger pokemon like Aggron and Abomasnow, who were carrying other pokemon around to separate healing tables like it was nothing.

After much dodging and weaving through crowds, I saw the pink fairy pokemon again. I couldn't remember her name, but I knew I recognized her from one of my dream-visions… She was absolutely gorgeous, the most breathtaking pokemon I have ever seen. When I saw her… All of my anger and stress was gone. She was about my height, maybe slightly taller, with small fairy wings, and green highlights in her hair, or what I presumed was the equivalent of her hair. She was pink, with big green eyes that were absolutely stunning.

I smiled and began walking over calmly to say hi and ask her what she was doing outside of the cave earlier.

When I came to her, she was healing a big greenish armored pokemon that I knew was a Tyranitar. It had spiked plates of armor protruding from its back and shoulders, and its eyes were closed. It had a pretty serious gash across its chest, and one of its armor plates was chipped pretty badly, so I dressed the wounds with some healing paste that I kept in my wonder bag. It sped up the cellular repair rate of bleeding injuries, and stopped infections from forming on the open skin, my mother had said…

After applying the paste, I bandaged the wounds, and turned, expecting some sort of acknowledgement, but the pink pokemon was already healing another pokemon... A Venusaur, it looked like.

I followed her, trying to at least get her name, but she began moving on. I sped up slightly to try and catch her, but when I came close, she turned faster than I could react, all at once she waved her hand in front of me, and I ran into an invisible barrier, falling backwards.

She smiled slightly, and lowered the see-through wall. She floated a few inches off of the ground, now being a full five inches taller than me, which I didn't like.

She landed on the ground, and returned to being almost my height, and smiled, "Hello."
I was completely mesmerized by her voice which was soothing to listen to.

Aw, crap… What am I supposed to say now?

"Uh… Hi. I'm Treecko…" I extended my hand as a gesture of greeting, and she smirked as she looked at my outreached hand, "What are you doing?"
"It is a sign of greeting. I read that when humans meet somebody new, they shake hands in acknowledgement. Just a friendly gesture."
She looked up from my hand, and took hold of it, "Well, nice to meet you, Treecko! I'm Celebi!"

Celebi! That's what it was! How did I not remember it?

I looked around, and all of the pokemon didn't even acknowledge us as they walked by. I thought that was weird, but I brushed the thought aside after I realized that I was still holding her hand.
I quickly let go and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Celebi. I hope that we may become acquainted some time in the future?"
She backed away slightly, and smiled warmly, "I would presume so, Treecko."
I tried to walk forward, but an Abomasnow passed between us, and when it passed, Celebi was gone.

That was weird… She just vanished. Was she even real?

I didn't want to go talk to my dad, because I presumed that Ditto probably told them that I was killed by Dusknoir, and just appearing at his doorstep would be a little bit of overkill, especially so soon after a battle.

Celebi re-appeared behind me, and tapped my shoulder, but moved to the other side; One of the oldest tricks in the human culture that I read about. She smiled, "So, when are you going to tell your dad that you're alive?"

"How did you-"

She shrugged, "I know a lot of things. I know that Dusknoir killed you, and that Ditto fled while you were fighting him. I know that your father is distraught. So, when are you going to tell him?"
"What am I supposed to do? Go up to Connor's room, knock on the door, 'Hey dad, surprise, I'm not dead! Giratina let me escape the distortion world!' No way I'm saying that."
She placed her arm around me, and said gently, "I know… Just don't wait for him to find out himself. You have to tell him."
I turned away from her as I looked towards the room that my father was living in, "How? Telling my father who thought I was dead that I'm not isn't exactly one of the things that I thought I would have to do."
Celebi laughed almost inaudibly, and said, "Treecko… Just do it."
I turned to face her again, but when I did, she was gone. I don't know how she moved so fast, but she just disappeared. I shook off my infatuation and continued to help the injured pokemon.

Alright guys! Countdown 'till Christmas: Three days! I'm so excited! That being said, I hope you enjoy this chapter and let me know if you want more! Much Love, and thank you yamato2706 for your strong enthusiasm! It helps a ton, and I will see you all this afternoon!
