Hello everyone, Crystal here with a brand new chapter. And joining me today are 40 Jigglypuff, all of them here for Hoopa!
*Hoopa appears with Mew, who quickly teleports away. He sees the Jigglypuff, one holding a microphone.*
Hoopa: Whoa! Where did all the Jigglypuff come from?
Me: Oh most of them are from Kanto. I brought them her for you!
Hoopa: For me? Uh, why?
Me: You'll see in a minute, but first, to the review!
Hoopa: Uh oh!
To Isokage, glad you liked the chapter, and Hoopa got the message.
Hoopa: He's not coming here is he? I mean, I return the ketchup, which was the same brand!
Me: No, we talked about it and he agreed to let me do the punishing. You have to listen to Jigglypuff's concert for the whole chapter, if you can stay awake.
Hoopa: What happens if I fall asleep?
Me: Oh I'm sure you'll find out, if it happens. *Starts to leave.* I'll be back at the end of the chapter. Go ahead and start the Jigglypuff concert!
Hoopa: Wait! Crysta!
Me: Cue the disclaimer! *I leave the room*
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Pretty Cure, I only own my OCs. I made this for fun and I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 14: Meeting Aurora and Diane
An hour after Riley's Pokemon were healed, the group left Oreburgh City and started to make their way to Jubilife City. There the group would meet up with Professor Rowan, who would verify that the Dynamax Band Riley had received was either real or fake. Once they exited the Oreburgh Gate, the group decided to take a small break and do their own things. Aria went off to a small clearing, telling the others she was going to do some training on her own. Flora was curious to see her train, so Aria let her come along.
"So when you do your training, what do you work on?" Flora asked once the two of them stopped.
"Well, work on my Aura Sphere for the most part." Aria said as she brought out a Poké Ball. "But I also spar with Sceptile" Flora's eyes widened in shock.
"Isn't that dangerous?!" She asked. Aria gave a shrug but also nodded.
"I guess it is." She answered. "But I've been doing this since as long as I can remember." Flora tilted her head as Aria called out Sceptile. "So we're careful not to over do it."
"But why?" Flora wondered, never expecting anyone to spar with a Pokemon. Aria frowned as she crossed her arms, Sceptile tilting his head as he watched his trainer come up with an answer.
"I guess..." Flora looked at her friend curiously. "Huh, never really thought about why." Flora then face faulted when she heard that. Sceptile let out a sigh as he shook his head.
"As far as I remember, you were the one to suggest it." He said. Aria looked at her Pokemon and knew he was right, been doing so ever since her starter was a Treecko.
"I did, and our sparring has helped us win major battles." She said fondly, Flora standing up as she tilted her head.
"That still doesn't explain why." She pointed out. Aria scratched her head as she tried to think why, before groaning as she shook her head.
"I think it's because I grew up around people who learned how to defend themselves." She guessed, remembering vaguely that she saw some people older than her spar with each other. "That was before I moved to Littleroot Town though, so I don't remember where that was."
"Before you moved to Littleroot Town?" Flora questioned.
"Yeah, I lived in the Kanto region before moving to Littleroot Town." Aria explained before frowning. "Though I don't remember where exactly."
"You must have been pretty young if you can't remember." Flora figured as Aria nodded in agreement. At that moment, Piplup came out of his Poké Ball, surprising his trainer. "Piplup? What is it?" Without saying anything, Piplup ran off in a random direction, confusing the trainers and Sceptile before quickly following after. Once they caught up to Piplup, they were surprised by what they saw. In front of Piplup was a giant stone tablet standing against what looked like a cave. Flora picked up Piplup as she and Aria took a closer look. The stone was dark grey, with an engraving that looked like a Pokemon.
"What is this?" Aria asked.
"I don't know, but I've never seen anything like this before." Flora said as she touched the stone with one hand.
"Sceptile, go get the others." Aria told her Pokemon. "I think they'll want to see this." Sceptile nodded as Piplup jumped out of Flora's arms and went next to Sceptile.
"You want to go Piplup?" Flora asked her Pokemon, who nodded. "Alright, but stay close to Sceptile." Piplup nodded as it followed Sceptile, leaving the two girls alone. Aria went up and touched the stone, feeling the engravings as she tried to figure out which Pokemon it could be. At that moment, the Aura Crystals started glowing, surprising the girls. The engravings on the stone also started to glow, making them back away as their Aura Crystals started to glow brighter, causing them to shield their eyes. Before either one could say anything, the light from the Aura Crystals and the stone tablet covered them from a moment. Once it died down, all that was left was their bags and Poké Balls.
On a dirt road, two girls riding on their Pokemon, were admiring the sights around them. The first girl had blonde hair that reached to her waist, green eyes, and wore a light blue and white dress with pink lacing. Around her waist was a yellow sash with a sword attached. The other girl had black hair that reached above her shoulders, blue eyes, and wore a dark grey vest over a red shirt, grey pants and dark blue boots. Tied onto her back was a shield with gold edges. The Pokemon they were riding were horse like Pokemon, with white fur, pastel pink and blue mane and tail, and a long black horn with a white spiral around it.
The Pokemon stopped in their tracks, confusing the two girls before they saw why the two had stopped. Lying on the ground was Flora and Aria, but they didn't know that. "Oh my goodness!" The blonde girl exclaimed as she quickly got off her Pokemon. Running in front of them, she knelt down to two girls who were younger than them, the other girl joining her as she touched their wrists. "Are they?" The black hair girl shook her head.
"They're alive, just unconscious." She said, the blonde girl sighing in relief. At that moment, the two girls begin to stir awake, the older two backing up to give them space. "Hey, are you two alright?"
"I think so..." Aria said as she slowly sat up, Flora doing so as well.
"What happened?" Flora asked as she held her head.
"That's what we would like to know." The black hair girl said, Aria and Flora looking up at the two girls. Aria almost froze up when she saw them before calming down.
'Those two, they look just like...!' Aria didn't finish her thoughts as she didn't want to bring up those memories, but then she remembered what happened. Looking at her Aura Crystal, she clutched it as Flora looked at hers. This didn't go unnoticed by the two older girls, their eyes widening a bit as they looked at each other. The blonde hair girl shrugged before extending her hands to the two younger ones.
"Here, let me help you up." She said with a smile. Aria and Flora looked at each other before doing so, standing up as the black hair girl crossed her arms.
"Thank you." Flora said, smiling.
"You're welcome, my name is Aurora." The blonde hair girl, now known as Aurora, introduced. "And this is my sister, Diane." The black hair girl, Diane, nodded to them in greeting, staying silent.
"It's nice to meet you, my name is Flora." Flora told them.
"And I'm Aria." Aria introduced, clutching her Aura Crystal tighter.
"Alright, now that introductions out of the way." Diane started. "Mind telling us why you were lying in the middle of the road?"
"Diane!" Aurora lightly scolded. The two younger girls looked at each other and shrugged.
"It's hard to explain, and I don't think you'll believe us." Aria told them, Diane frowning as she got closer to them.
"Try us." She said simply, Flora gulping as she got closer to Aria. Aurora pulled her sister by the arm and brought her back away from the girls.
"Take it easy, they're just kids." She reminded her sister, then gave them an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about her, she's like this with everyone she meets. Always cautious about strangers no matter how old they are."
"How can I not, have you seen anyone wear clothes like them?" Diane questioned, making Aria and Flora look at themselves in confusion. They then looked at the older girls and their clothes, which reminded them of something from the olden days...wait.
"Um, what year is this?" Aria asked wearily.
"It's the year 1006." Aurora answered, though sounded confused. "Why do you ask?" Aria and Flora looked at each other, then their Aura Crystals, then back at each other before...
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!?" They screamed, scaring a flock of bird Pokemon. Aurora and Diane had covered their ears before looking at the two girls with confusion and worry.
"I don't believe it!" Aria exclaimed. "We're actually in the past!"
"But how?" Flora questioned. "The only one who can time travel is Celebi, and she wasn't-!"
"Celebi?" The two girls turned to the older ones as they looked surprised. "You mean to say you know the Voice of the Forest?" Diane asked them, making both girls nod slowly, still comprehending they were in the past somehow. The black hair girl looked at her sister, who nodded to her before going over to the Pokemon.
"I think you two better come with us." Aurora told them as she started to pull the reigns on the Pokemon. "Come along Helios, Selene." Aria and Flora looked at the two Pokemon as they looked at them in amazement.
"Wow!" Flora exclaimed. "I've never seen Pokemon like them before."
"That's because they're from our native region." Diane said as she mounted the one on the right, Selene. "These two are known as Rapidash, though I call mine Selene. And Aurora calls hers Helios."
"Those Pokemon are Rapidash?" Flora asked, confused as she went to grab her Pokedex, but found her bag and Poké Balls were gone. She let out a gasp. "I don't have my bag or my Poké Balls!" She said loud enough for only Aria to hear her. Aria then checked herself and found that she didn't have her things either.
"Me neither!" Aria exclaimed softly. "Maybe they're still in the future?" She guessed, Flora shrugged as she wasn't sure. Aurora mounted her Rapidash as she held out a hand to Flora.
"Hop on, we'll give you a ride to the village." She told them as Diane went up to Aria and offered her hand. The two girls accepted the hands and were pulled into the Pokemon. With a flick of the reigns, the two Pokemon started walking. "And yes, they are Rapidash. I suppose the Rapidash you are thinking of are the ones with a fire mane. Right?"
"Right." Flora replied as she tried to stay in, never ridden a Pokemon before. Aria blinked as she started to recall something.
"Wait, are these Galarian Rapidash?" Aria asked. Diane nodded as she looked back for a second before facing forward.
"Galarian Rapidash?" Flora asked her friend.
"It's a regional variant of Rapidash that is native to the Galar region." Aria said. "That would make them a Psychic and Fairy Type instead of being a pure Fire Type."
"That's right." Aurora said as she strokes her Pokemon's mane. "Though you must be from this region since you're obviously not from Galar."
"Well, I am from Sinnoh, but Aria is from the Hoenn region." Flora said as Aria nodded.
"Right, we were observing this giant stone tablet with a Pokemon engraved in it." Aria started, figuring they could trust them. "But then it started glowing, as did our jewels."
"Aura Crystals, right?" Diane asked. Aria and Flora blinked in surprised as Diane pulled out a small bag and opened it, revealing it to have many Aura Crystals inside. "That's what we call them."
"We've been collecting them ever since a..." Aurora paused for a moment as Diane gave her a look. "A cosmic event happened earlier this month." Aria and Flora looked at each other in confusion but decided not to say anything. Diane let out a small sigh as Aurora giggled nervously.
A few minutes later, the four girls arrived at a village. Getting off the Pokemon, with Aurora and Diane's help, they looked around in awe. There were many people on the streets, either talking or tending to their houses, which were mostly made out of wood. A couple of Pokemon played with the children while some Pokemon were helping the adults. Up ahead was a marketplace, along with a building with a medical cross near the roof. Needless to say, it was quite busy. "Welcome to one of the busiest villages in Sinnoh." Aurora said as she and Diane led their Pokemon down the street.
"It kind of reminds me of Jubilife City." Flora said softly as she and Aria followed the older girls. "Though only smaller and the streets aren't paved."
"Yeah, I bet the building with the cross on it is the Pokemon Center." Aria guessed as she noticed that's where they were heading. Aurora smiled at the two of them while Diane slightly frowned. The blonde hair girl noticed her sister's frown and became confused.
"Diane, don't tell me you don't believe their story?" Aurora questioned, saying it loud enough for only the two of them to hear.
"Do you?" Diane questioned back. "While I admit the possibility of them knowing the Voice of the Forest, given that one time we met one." Aurora giggled, remembering the time they encountered the mythical Pokemon.
"And yet, you don't believe the Aura Crystals sent them here." She guessed with a knowing look.
"I'm not saying that...exactly..." Diane said as she glanced at the two younger girls, who were observing the sights. "But you have to admit, it does sound unbelievable."
"While I agree with you, I'm sure what we've been through is far more unbelievable than time travel." Aurora pointed out. "In any case, we need to help them get back to their time."
"Right." Diane agreed before noticing people staring at the two younger girls, Flora slightly becoming uncomfortable as she stayed close to Aria. "The sooner the better, people are starting to stare." Aurora also noticed the stares and frowned as they reached the building.
"Diane, you take Helios and Selene around the back." She told her sister. "I'll get us checked in with our new friends." Diane nodded as she led the two Galarian Rapidash around the back. Aria and Flora stopped as they looked around, Aurora grabbed their hands and started to lead them inside.
"Come on, let's get you girls settled." She told them, the younger girls nodding as they walked inside. In the building, they saw there were a couple of tables with chairs, some smaller Pokemon hanging around and saw doors that led to other rooms. Near the back of the main room was someone the girls recognized.
"Is that Nurse Joy?" Flora asked softly. The woman did look like Nurse Joy, but while she kept her white apron, her dress was slimmer and had a white top and pink skirt, a white handkerchief around her hair, the pink twin loops still there but was also in braids.
"Yes, she's the one who runs the inn and takes care of the Pokemon, even wild ones." Aurora replied, Aria and Flora exchanging a glance before giggling.
"Looks like even in the past, Nurse Joy is still around." Aria said to Flora.
"Makes you wonder how long the Joy family has been around?" Flora wondered. Aurora smiled as she went up to Nurse Joy.
"Welcome back Aurora, how goes the journey?" Nurse Joy greeted.
"Just amazing, you won't believe the caves Diane and I explored." Aurora answered as she grabbed a feather pin and dipped it in ink before writing on a sheet of paper. "We also made some new friends. I hope it's not too much trouble for them to stay?" Aria and Flora blinked as they looked at each other. Nurse Joy giggled as she shook her head.
"Not at all." She answered as Aurora finished writing and handed her the paper. "And if they have any Pokemon, I'd be more than happy to give them the usual treatment as well." Aurora frowned as she looked at the two girls, who walked up beside her. They looked sad as they placed their hands to their sides. Diane walked in and came up to them as Aurora led the two girls to one of the doors. Confused as why the two girls were saddened, she followed behind as Aurora led them to a room. On the floor was a pile of straw with a blanket and pillow on top.
"Alright, what's with the sad faces?" Diane asked as they sat down on the blanket.
"It's just, when Nurse Joy mentioned that if we had Pokemon..." Aria said as she and Flora frowned. The two sisters looked at each other as they frowned as well.
"You're Pokemon are back in the future then?" Aurora asked. The two younger girls nodded.
"That might be for the best." Diane said as she crossed her arms. "I don't know how conditions are for you two, but as of late, things have been quite drastic for some time."
"Yes." Aurora admitted. "Some Pokemon have been, well..." Aurora didn't know if she should finish. "Let's just say these are dangerous times." Aria and Flora stayed silent, as did the two sisters. Between them, the silence felt awkward. However, the silence was broken when laughter was heard. Standing up, they looked out a window as they saw a couple of little kids playing with each other along with some Pokemon. Two of the little girls started doing poses as they pretended to send a beam towards the Pokemon, who fell back as they laughed.
Aurora and Diane smiled as Aria and Flora giggled at the sight. "Maybe we shouldn't be asking this." Diane started as she turned to the younger girls. "But are there guardians called Pretty Cure in your time?" Aria and Flora flinched as they looked at each other nervously. They then nodded slowly, not sure why they would ask. Aurora let out an excited gasp as she turned to her sister.
"There is!" She exclaimed. Diane frowned slightly as Aurora clasped Flora and Aria's hands together. "And it's actually you two!"
"What?!" Aria and Flora exclaimed as they quickly tried denying it. Aurora started laughing as she let go of them and went next to her sister. Diane rolled her eyes as she shook her head.
"If that's your best attempt at keeping a secret identity, you must have only started recently." She guessed.
"Well, we have been doing this for almost two weeks." Flora admitted.
"That would explain it." Diane said simply. Aria and Flora exchange glances before turning embarrassed.
"We were that obvious?" Flora asked.
"Well, we did catch you two off guard." Diane pointed out, as Aurora nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with us." She told them as Diane rolled her eyes but smirked. "Trust us, we won't tell anyone, if you don't tell ours."
"Aurora!" Diane exclaimed as she looked shocked. Aria and Flora turned confused as they calmed down.
"Oh relax, they won't tell. Right?" Aurora asked. Aria and Flora looked at each other and shrugged before nodding.
"We promise." Flora told them. Diane sighed as she knew she wasn't going to get out of this one.
"Alright, the truth is-." Diane was interrupted as the ground began to shake. "What in the world?"
"Diane, look!" Aurora pointed out the window and towards the sky, now turning dark red and stormy. Diane cursed under her breath as the shaking stopped. Aria and Flora frowned as they had an idea what was going on. As they were about to leave, Diane raised a hand in the air, stopping them.
"Both of you stay here and whatever you do, don't transform!" Diane exclaimed as she and Aurora were about to leave.
"Why not?" Aria questioned.
"Believe us, you don't want to get involved with this fight." Diane told them as she and Aurora left, leaving Aria and Flora alone.
"Why don't they want us helping them?" Flora wondered. "I mean, I don't like the fact we have to fight Pokemon in the first place. But we have the power to help them."
"I don't know." Aria said as she shrugged and went towards the window. People and Pokemon had gone into their houses to hide, fear clearly written in their faces. "But even if we do help, we might be changing the future of our time."
"If we were, wouldn't Celebi be coming to stop us before we make a mistake?" Flora asked. Aria blinked as she turned to her friend.
"Well, you got a point." Aria admitted. "But then why would Ly-I mean Diane and Mel-ugh, Aurora tell us to stay here?!" Flora turned confused as Aria shook her head and shut her eyes, pushing back the memories again. Flora decided not to question it, at least, not yet. "Not to mention asking about Pretty Cure...Whoa." From the window, they could see two pillars of light, one white and one purple, for a moment before dying down. Looking at each other, they nodded before running out of the room.
"There it is!" Aria exclaimed as the two of them came to a stop, Flora catching her breath. They both saw the Dynamax Pokemon, one that was purple and grey, had a horn, spines on its back, big claws and a long tail. A Dynamax Nidoking.
"Hey, that's the Pokemon engraved into the stone." Flora said as she and Aria realized the similarities.
"Yeah, it is!" Aria looked around but couldn't see anyone else around. "Maybe that's the reason why we're here in the past."
"You mean we have to defeat that Nidoking?" Flora asked. "A Pokemon that's probably way stronger than anything we've faced so far?!" Aria frowned but slowly nodded, then gave a confident smile.
"Hey, we can do this!" She exclaimed. "After all, we might not be the only ones fighting against it, if the pillars of light we saw means anything." Flora blinked as she realized what Aria meant, then smiled. Nodding, the two linked hands as they faced the Dynamax Pokemon.
"Let's do this!" Flora exclaimed as they went through the motions.
"Aura Transform! Precure Style!" They shouted, the pink and grey pillars of light surrounding them for a moment before dying down. Both girls had changed, opening their eyes as they struck their poses.
"The jewel of time, Cure Dia!" Dia declared as her diamond gleamed, slightly brighter than before.
"The jewel of space, Cure Pearl!" Pearl declared as her pearls gleamed, also slightly brighter than before.
"Together we are Pretty Cure!" They shouted as they posed together.
"Oh dark soul who's lost his sight!" Pearl started as she pointed.
"We guardians shall restore your light!" Dia finished as she pointed. Both girls stayed in place as the Dynamax Nidoking didn't notice them. "Do you think he heard us?"
"I don't know." Pearl answered with a shrug. However, at that moment, the Dynamax Nidoking swung his giant tail seemingly at them. Eyes widening in shock, they quickly jumped high in the air, dodging it. Taking a sigh of relief, they saw the tail get stopped by two figures before the Dynamax Pokemon was tossed to the side. As Pretty Cure landed, they stared in awe as they who the two figures were. They were both women, older than Dia and Pearl when transformed. One had bright gold hair that was wild and long, wore a white dress with yellow and orange accents, white and gold gloves and boots and had a gold sword in her hand.
The other had dark blue hair that was sleek and long with white sparkles in them, wore a violet dress with yellow and light blue accents, violet and white gloves and boots and had a dark blue shield with gold edges. On both of their chest was a pink star shape jewel that sparkled slightly.
"Could that be who I think it is?" Dia asked as Pearl nodded, reaching the same idea.
"If it is, that would explain why they didn't want us following them." Pearl guessed. The two women jumped into the air as the Dynamax Nidoking stood up, ready to punch them. They however dodged the punch and grabbed it before letting out a battle cry, then sent the Dynamax Pokemon towards the side. And right in the path of Cure Dia and Cure Pearl. Though Dynamax Nidoking managed to regain its footing, it was surprised to find that its right foot wasn't touching the ground. Underneath, the two Precure gritted their teeth as they used all of their strength to push the Dynamax Pokemon away from them and onto its side.
"Whoa!" They exclaimed in surprise, not expecting to do that. Standing up, the Dynamax Pokemon turned his attention on them as it raised its fist and prepared to smash them. Cure Pearl's pearls started glowing as she quickly grabbed Cure Dia.
"Pretty Cure Aura Pearl Warp!" She shouted as the area around them glowed pink before vanishing, just as the fist slammed into the ground, destroying trees in the process. Appearing on top of the fist, Pretty Cure ran up Dynamax Nidoking's arm before jumping up and punching and kicking it in the face. Pushing off, Dia's diamond started glowing as she prepared her attack.
"Pretty Cure Aura Dia Freeze!" She shouted, sending the grey beam towards the Dynamax Pokemon, causing it to turn grey as it was frozen in time. Landing on the ground, Dia and Pearl linked hands as they prepared to finish this. However, the two women saw them and stood back.
"Jewels of time and space." Pearl started, her pearls shining.
"Transcend together into the gleaming light." Dia finished, her diamond shining as well.
"Pretty Cure Aura Jewel Pulse!" They shouted, sending the grey and pink twin beams towards the Dynamax Nidoking, returning it and the area to normal as it was healed of any injuries. The Nidoking looked around, confused before leaving, heading towards a familiar cave the two of them recognized. Unaware that the two women had disappeared, vanishing in the restored woods.
"That must be Nidoking's cave." Cure Pearl said as Cure Dia nodded but looked slightly confused.
"But why is there a giant stone tablet in our time?" She wondered as they heard footsteps, causing them to change back. "Wouldn't that cause a problem for the Pokemon that live inside?" Aria shrugged, she didn't know either.
"Didn't we tell you not to transform?" Turning around, they saw Aurora and Diane, the one who asked the question, walk up to them.
"Now now, they managed to defeat that giant Nidoking, didn't they?" Aurora asked with a smile. Diane let out a sigh as her sister giggled. "In any case, you two fought really well."
"I guess that means your time is in good hands." Diane said with a smirk, causing the two girls to smile. Before they could ask them something, their Aura Crystals started shining again. Aria and Flora looked at each other, having an idea what was happening.
"Looks like we're going back." Aria said as Flora nodded.
"Aurora, Diane, it was nice meeting you two." Flora told them as Aurora and Diane smiled.
"Even though we barely know each other, I'm glad we met." Aria said as she scratched her cheek. "Even though the whole thing seems unbelievable. Aurora giggled as she looked sad.
"We may not see each other again, so..." Aurora didn't finish as Diane shook her head with a sad smile.
"So this isn't goodbye, this is until next time." Diane told them, Aurora giving a sad smile as well. Aria and Flora nodded in agreement, then started waving.
"Until we meet again!" They exclaimed as their Aura Crystals glowed brighter before enveloping them in the bright light before vanishing.
"I wish we could have hung out with them more." Aurora admitted as Diane nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but you know we'd tired that Nidoking out before they showed up, right?" She asked with a smirk.
"Our little secret." Aurora said as she giggled. They then walked away from the cave, Aurora looking back while Diane looked ahead.
"Wake up!" A voice said before releasing a bunch of bubbles onto Flora and Aria, causing them to wake up as they got soaked. The bubbles soon stopped as both girls looked around and saw Amber, Riley, Lisia and Holly, along with Sceptile and Piplup, who had fired the bubbles. Flora smiled as she quickly hugged her Pokemon.
"Oh Piplup!" She exclaimed. "I'm so happy to see you!" Piplup was happy too, though couldn't quite breath as he started squirming.
"Uh, Flora?" Amber started as Flora looked at her. "I think you're squeezing Piplup too tight." Flora gasped as she quickly let go of Piplup, who fell backwards.
"Sorry Piplup." She said, giving a sheepish smile to her Pokemon. Aria stood up as she petted Sceptile, who was happy to see she was alright.
"What happened to you guys?" Riley asked as she placed her hand behind her head. "By the time Sceptile and Piplup got us, you were passed out."
"Passed out?" Aria asked as she and Flora exchanged glances, confused. Could their time in the past have been all a dream? It didn't feel like a dream, especially with the battle they had against Dynamax Nidoking was fresh in their minds. Aria frowned as she took a deep breath and saw their things scattered. Flora stood up as they gathered their things. Once they did so, they turned to their friends.
"We're not entirely sure." Flora said as she looked towards the cave, the giant stone tablet with the Pokemon engraving on it.
"How long were we out?" Aria asked as she too looked at the giant stone tablet.
"Maybe 5-10 minutes?" Amber answered. "Maybe even longer, we're not sure."
"Probably an hour because it took a while to find everyone else." Sceptile said. Aria and Flora frowned at that, it seemed they were gone longer. If the whole time travel wasn't a dream of course.
"What we do know is that you were passed out without your things on you." Lisia said before turning confused. "Though I don't understand why your Poké Balls were scattered."
"Like Flora said, we're not too sure ourselves." Aria said as she took another deep breath. At that moment, Piplup let out a cry as the engravings on the stone started to glow before crumbling until it was completely vanished, revealing the entrance of the cave. Exchanging glances, the group slowly walked inside. After a few minutes, they reach the end of the cave, where on a pedestal, was a stone engraved with writing and pink tear drop stone on top. Aria and Flora knelt down and read it silently to themselves before gasping in surprise.
To the future Pretty Cure, here is part of a plate that was once whole.
Please find the other pieces, and do what we could not.
Restore the plate before it is too late.
We are grateful knowing the future is in good hands.
And we hope things go better on your quest then ours did.
May you light always shine bright! - Cure Aura and Cure Eclipse
"It wasn't a dream." Flora said softly as she smiled, Aria smiling as well.
"We were actually in the past." Aria said softly as they exchanged glances.
"And even got to meet them!" Flora softly exclaimed.
"And saw them in action!" Aria softly exclaimed. Both girls felt themselves smiled as the others observed the pink object. Lisia brought out the Earth Plate, then compared it to the pink teardrop.
"This pink stone is kind of like the Earth Plate." She said as Aria and Flora stood up.
"It says that it's part of a plate." Aria said as Lisia handed the piece to Flora.
"So that means there are other pieces." Amber realized as her smile grew. "It's like going on a treasure hunt!"
"Yeah!" Riley exclaimed as Holly looked confused.
"But how did it break in the first place?" She wondered, Aria and Flora exchanging glances as they shrugged. They didn't know, but they did know that they somehow time traveled to the past. They also got to see what Cure Aura and Cure Eclipse in action. And hopefully, one day, they would see their new friends Aurora and Diane again. At that moment, Celebi appeared next to them as she didn't wait for the gold ring to close before zooming in front of the two girls.
"Tell me everything that happened to you two!" She exclaimed. "Because if I'm right, this won't be the last time it happens!" Aria and Flora blinked as the other girls turned confused. Sceptile and Piplup looked at each other before shrugging, whatever happened didn't seem like a bad thing. Right?
I'm back! How was the concert Hoopa?
*Sees Hoopa sleeping on the floor, his face, rings and body covered with black markings. The Jigglypuff with the mic puffed up as it continued drawing funny marks on the other Jigglypuff, who had also fallen asleep.*
Jigglypuff: Puff!
Me: Whoa! I didn't expect most of the Jigglypuff to fall asleep! Hm... *Looks at the playlist* Must have been during the solo. Oh well, Jigglypuff?
Jigglypuff: Jiggly?
Me: Sorry that your back up singers fell asleep, but thank you for coming and singing for Hoopa. Even though he fell asleep.
Jigglypuff: Jigglypuff! *Smiles as it puts the cap back on the marker, then leaves.*
Me: *Brings out a megaphone* WAKE UP HOOPA!
*Hoopa jumps into the air and hits the ceiling before slowly floating down. The other Jigglypuff wake up and started laughing.*
Hoopa: *Yawns* Did I make it?
Me: Not even close. And now that you're awake, it's time for your second punishment. Celebi!
Hoopa: Oh no! Don't tell me you're going to let her lecture me!
Me: Until it gets drilled in your head.
Hoopa: Nooooooo!
*Celebi comes in with Mew, who gathers the Jigglypuff out the door. Celebi then drags Hoopa by the arm as she and Mew start giggling.*
Me: *Chuckles* Wait until he sees himself in the mirror. *Looks at the readers* As for you guys, thank you so much for reading, review if you can, and I'll see you all next time!
