-Chapter 51: Days of the Past-

-Celebi's POV-

I used my telepathy to put the image into his head, much like when I showed him the war before my existence was revealed, and I flew him through the sky, "This is our world, four hundred and seven years in the past. The sun was shining, and there was light and warmth. In this past world, there were teams of two to four pokemon called exploration teams, whose job was to apprehend outlaws and get stolen or lost items back for pokemon. The most renowned academy for training these teams was Wigglytuff's guild. That was where the great heroes of the prophecy started their journey. They travelled all over the world, shaping the world into an even better one. It was all for naught when Darkrai sought a world of darkness. He attempted to get rid of the heroes several times, each time resulting in the same ending; He failed. He tried traps, he tried sending outlaws, but the great heroes, named Team Firestorm, were too powerful. Eventually, he devised an evil plot; He attacked Temporal Tower, which resulted in the temporal web to snap.

The porygon-z that were there to protect the tower subdued him slightly, but he lashed back with incredible force. He put them into an unending slumber and collapsed the tower further, sending Dialga into a Primal rage.

Darkrai knew that the heroes would have to come there to stop the planet's paralysis, and he knew that Dialga would attack the heroes if they came to the top of the tower. The heroes came, all according to Darkrai's plan, and attempted to put the Time Gears back into the top of Temporal Tower.

Glad I did some research...

Dialga stopped them, accusing them of destroying time, and one of the heroes tried to argue, but Dialga had lost all judgement, and fought them. It was a long battle, but Dialga overcame the heroes, and the world was plunged into darkness. That's where the prophecy comes into play; You go back in time, gather the Time Gears, and help the heroes, even though you won't know who they are… You will tell them about what has happened here, and how they must face Dialga in the final battle.

Treecko seemed to show a lot of logic about time travel by what he said, "So… If I told the heroes what you said, then wouldn't we already be erased from history, and not even be talking about this?"
I smiled slightly at his curiosity, "No; you haven't told them yet, because you are still here. And since you are still here, that means that there is no way for the future to be changed yet, because you haven't gone to the past."
He shook his head, "Oh… This is a bit confusing..." He smiled slyly, causing me to blush an even brighter shade of pink, and I said, "Time travel is tricky business, my dear Treecko… It isn't for the faint of heart."

He looked deep in thought, and I recalled what Connor had told me…

Time waits for no one, Celebi… Speak your heart, and don't be afraid of the consequences….

I understand what he meant now… I can't just do-over this moment, even if I can travel back in time to before this… I have to have courage… And don't be afraid of the consequences.

I turned to Treecko, whose arm was embracing me, and I kissed his cheek. I giggled like a little girl, and flew off quickly. I looked back briefly, and he looked like he was about to explode from happiness…

I didn't even think about where to go afterwards; I just sort of… went away. I flew around aimlessly, just trying to give Treecko some room.

-Treecko's POV-

I know that I was super dumb for not realizing that Celebi liked me sooner, even when my newfound friends told me it was obvious… After the story, she kissed my cheek, which made me unexplainably happy for some reason that I can't really explain… It just did.

I could have lied there for hours, just indulging myself in happiness, but Tyranitar shook me out of my infatuation. He tried to knock, but the vines moved out of his way, causing him to trip and fall onto the ground. He stood up, and made another whistling noise; I found that it didn't come from his mouth, but from one of the holes on his chest, which was weird to think about, "Wow… You wanna decorate my place?"
He smiled as he laughed slightly, and I turned towards him, "It's not too bad, I'll admit. My mother did teach me a lot of stuff."

He chuckled, "Not bad? No other room in the cavern can even compare to this! The ember moss spores floating, so it looks like you're floating through the stars… Incredible."
I rolled off of my hammock and gestured to the couch that I made. His eyes grew large at the realization, "No way… That thing can support me?"
I nodded, "You, Aggron, and Snorlax, if it was bigger."
He sat down lightly on it, and I got the feeling he expected it to break, but it didn't even flex or anything. He leaned back, keeping his tail to the side of him, "Gotta hand it to ya, Treecko, you've really outdone yourself with this one…"


Alright guys, I'm doing three new years eve posts; I hope you'll stick with it, and as I am approaching a closing point, the next part is in the works right now. It was getting pretty lengthy, so these next three will be all until next year! (Pun intended.)
