Chapter 37

Peace Broken

General P.O.V.

Two years Later…

Luna sighed as she looked at all the books in her home. A lot of things about different forms of written language and legends about different legendary Pokémon. However, there were some books about subjects like the flow of time and its purpose, time gears, and humans and the human world.

She was currently in her human form, sorting all the different books. Her hair was still her shoulder length light blonde hair with ice blue bangs that went well with her sea green eyes. She wore a light blue halter top with a sea green skirt with black leggings with a white belt above the skirt and purple boots. She had purple elbow length fingerless gloves and a sea green choker with an ice blue diamond shaped gem attached to the choker. There was also an ice blue crescent moon birthmark on her forehead that was hidden by her bangs.

"Why did I have to keep so many books here?" Luna muttered. "It's always a pain trying to keep everything sorted. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother."

She sighed when she finally put the last book in order. She wiped her forehead to get rid of the sweat before she went over to her diary and wrote in it for a while before she heard a knock on her door. She quickly turned back to her Pokémon form and put her silver treasure bag and walked to the door to answer it. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was only Seren. She smiled at her and quickly let her in and closed the door.

"Nice to see you, Seren" Luna greeted. "What brings you to my home?"

Seren smiled.

"No real reason, particularly" Seren answered. "I just wanted to see my friend and check up on her. I know that you have to be going stir crazy not being able to go to the mainland."

Luna blushed at Seren's truthful remark. She was right. She had been getting antsy not being able to go to the mainland because Temporal Island was sealed off from the rest of the world. Luckily, Seren lived on the island so she wasn't without all of her Legendary Pokémon friends.

"I know I am, Seren" Luna said. "Despite that fact, I'm willing to stay on this island for Dialga's sake. I could easily go through the seal if I used my own Temporal powers, but I refuse to do that. It would weaken the seal and it would let Darkrai through. It's something we don't want to happen."

Seren nodded.

"I know, but you need to do something besides reading and hanging out with your boyfriend" Seren scolded. "Speaking of which, when are you going to tell him the truth about your heritage?"

Luna sighed.

"After this whole mess with Darkrai is over with" Luna answered. "Until then, I think that it's best he be kept in the dark about it. He won't like it that I didn't tell him, but he'll understand why I kept it a secret. He's gained my trust enough for me to tell him the whole truth about myself but I want it to be in a peaceful situation, not one where I'm surrounded by fear of what might happen. Until this situation with Darkrai is resolved I'm afraid that I'll always be fearful of what may happen next."

Seren nodded in understanding. She then noticed a letter near her bed and picked it up. She recognized Luna's handwriting but didn't read what it said out of respect of her friend's privacy.

"What this letter for?" Seren asked.

Luna took it from Seren and recognized the letter and sighed before putting it in her bag.

"It's something I'm going to give to Grovyle if Darkrai manages to find a way to break through the seal" Luna explained. "I mentioned to him before that I have a human friend. He was a little surprised since humans are a rare sight in this world and not much is really known about them. I just left out the fact that the friend I mentioned is actually my human form. Anyway, in the letter I'm going to tell him if something happens to me I told her to seek him out and carry out my last wish. That she's someone he can trust and has a unique ability that will prove helpful in restoring what has been lost."

Seren looked at her surprised before giving her a serious look.

"You have a backup plan if Jolt doesn't come to Temporal Island, don't you?" Seren asked.

Luna nodded.

"I have to be prepared just in case" Luna answered. "If it comes close to Temporal Tower's collapse then I'm going to use my Temporal powers to reduce the effects for everyone on this island. I would do the mainland as well, but doing so would negatively effect me too much. Even doing that has some consequences. I'm sealing my ability to shift between my human and Pokémon forms as a cost for using this power. Giratina and I talked about this before. To protect others from the corruption, an exchange is needed. This is what I can do to help Dialga from most of his corruption but it won't get rid of all of it, but it'll at least give a fighting chance to fight it off as long as he can before it completely overtakes him."

Seren nodded.

"How long do you need to prepare to do this?" Seren asked.

"I need at least a week to get everything in place" Luna answered. "Once I finish preparations, I only need to activate it to start the process. To those who don't know about my human form, it will seem like I just vanished. In reality, I'm transported to the place I chose for the seal to take me in my human form. I'll leave a message with my Temporal powers for Grovyle to see if he ever goes there so he can find out what happened to me, but I think for the most part I'll occupy him with what needs to be done."

Seren gave Luna a look.

"You're planning on making sure he knows the time gear locations and all the languages needed to accomplish this task, aren't you?" Seren asked.

Luna nodded.

"I'm also making sure he also knows what to expect when going to Uxie, Mespirit and Azelf's lake for their time gears" Luna said. "They're not going to make it easy for him to get the time gear. They'll fight him if they have to if it comes down to it. I already know he can go up against those three no problem. Dialga though, he might have some trouble."

Seren suddenly had a look of realization cross her face.

"That's what you've been doing when you're spending time with him" Seren said. "You've been training him so that he'll be strong enough to fight the guardians and Dialga when he reaches here. "

Luna nodded.

"However, it requires us going into the past to accomplish this" Luna said. "Which is why your help will be necessary. Dialga won't be himself by then and would try to prevent us from doing so. That leaves you as our only option. I can't make Dimensional Holes in my human form. That aspect of my Temporal powers is only available in my Pokémon form."

Seren nodded.

"Alright, I'm with you" Seren said. "Are you aware of the consequences of changing the past?"

Luna nodded.

"We can possibly disappear and essentially cease to exist" Luna answered. "It's up to Arceus to decide if we do or not though. If it means protecting the light of this world, then I'm willing to do anything."

It seems you may have to use your backup plan then Luna. It seems that our plan has failed.

Seren and Luna shot up when they recognized Dialga's telepathy.

What do you mean? Did Darkrai manage to break through?

Yes Luna. He somehow has some slightly Temporal power that he used to pass through the seal and get here to the tower. After that, he attacked me and then after he defeated me he sabotaged the tower.

Luna sighed at the news.

How long do you think the tower will hold until it fully collapses and the damage is irreversible?

At most, I would say a year. After that, the chance of preventing it is slim. Even towards the end of the year most of my reasoning will be gone. It's going to end up being a battle if anyone comes around that time. I suggest you spend this time that's left getting together everything needed before time runs out.

Luna and Seren nodded before feeling Dialga cut off the connection. Then they turned to each other.

"It looks like the situation is dire" Seren said. "How long do you think it will take for Grovyle's training to be enough to fight Dialga?"

Luna smirked.

"At most, half a year" Luna answered. "The rest of it I'll spend gathering materials for the seal and I'll give you my scarf and bag to hold onto after I activate the seal. The scarf will give me away to Grovyle so I want you to hold onto it for safekeeping once you find me after the seal is activated. I'll tell you where to go when the time comes. I'll spend the remaining left after everything is prepared with Grovyle. I want to spend what time I have left in this form with him. I won't have access to this form until I release the seal and I won't do that until time is restored. Can you be ready to meet by that time?"

Seren nodded.

"Of course" Seren said. "Where do you plan on placing the seal?"

Luna smiled.

"At the Rainbow Stoneship" Luna answered. "That way, he'll see it no matter what happens. Meet me there when it's time to activate the seal and I'll tell you where to go next."

Seren nodded.

"Until then" Seren replied.

Then she disappeared from sight. Luna sighed and looked out at the sunlight. She knew that the light had to be protected, no matter what. Even if she had to sacrifice herself to ensure it stayed, she would do it.

Then she looked inside her bag to see a pale yellow scarf inside with a lightning bolt symbol on it. She smiled, knowing who it was for. It was a present for Jolt that she planned to give him when all this was over with. It was an item called a Zapper Scarf, an item that can only be used by a Pokémon from the Pikachu evolution line which heals your health when hit by ground type moves. She thought that Jolt might find it useful during his explorations.

She figured that she should leave it in there for Seren to hold onto. She would know who it's for anyways just by seeing it. Besides, she had more important matters to attend to. She'll figure out how to give her present to Jolt after all of this is behind her and Darkrai's schemes are put to a stop once and for all.
