"There are branches for the fire."

Walking towards Seryu, Megma held a bunch of branches in her arms and put them in front of a campfire that Seryu had just lit. However, instead of rejoicing, the other girl seemed to sulk.

"Are you mad at me?"

"If we hadn't lingered and enjoyed ourselves in the pond, we might have found Esdeath-sama and the others before dark."

"Hey! It's not my fault! I told you that we will get to the capital on time, before it gets dark! But since your friends left town to go elsewhere, we had to to follow them and now that it is dark we have to wait until it is daylight! Skarmory is unable to see in the dark. "

Now being in a forest, the two girls had, in fact, been obliged to camp and wait for the night to pass, before being able to set out again in search of the other Jaegers. However, seeing Seryu continue to sulk, Megma rummaged in her bag, and pulled out two chocolate bars.

Then, sitting down next to Seryu, she handed him one of the bars.

"Here! Eat this."

"That's nice but, if you have only that to eat, save it to yourself! Only by eating a bar of chocolate will you be able to satisfy your stomach."

"Don't worry! I'm not going to die of it."

For his part, seeing the sweets, Koro began to drool, while he had not eaten since his arrival in this world. Seeing this, Seryu apologized.

"Sorry Koro! I unfortunately don't have any meat here for you."

"He eats meat ? "

"Yes! A lot! However, he can eat anything! You just have to find a huge amount of food to satisfy him! Sometimes it's not easy to take care of him and make sure that he's eating enough. "

"Maybe I have an idea," Megma assured her.

Then grabbing two pokeballs, she tossed them into the air. Immediately, Servine and Skarmory got out, before landing in front of their mistress. Then rummaging through her pockets, Megma pulled out a small vial, containing small pink cubes.

"What is it?" Seryu asked.

"These are pokeblocks! This is pokemon food."

Taking two small cubes, she threw them at her two pokemons. Opening her beak, Skarmory let one of them enter in her mouth, before swallowing it. For her part, Servine grabbed it with a " VINE WHIP ", before putting it in her mouth. Surprised, seeing what their "meal" looked like, Seryu asked.

"Is that all you feed them?"

At that moment, the bellies of the two pokemons grew slightly as their stomachs filled in an instant.

"This food is super energizing and caloric! A single cube gives a pokemon the nutritional intake it needs."

Then, taking a third cube, Megma threw it at Koro. Not hesitating a moment, the teigu opened his mouth and swallowed it. Then, two seconds later, Seryu saw his stomach swell too. No longer hungry, the dog then fell on his back, before starting a digestive nap.

"Unbelievable." Seryu said. "It's the first time I've seen Koro get sated so quickly."

"I'm too strong, aren't I?" Megma asked, winking at her. "Here, present."

Seeing her toss the box of food at her, Seryu was surprised.

" And your pokemons ? "

"Don't worry! My companions also have food with them! Besides, if I want to buy more, I would just have to go back to the pokemon world! is a way for me to apologize for delaying you. "

Staring at the other girl, Seryu asked her.

"How do you manage to travel through other worlds?"

Winking another wink, Megma retorted.

" It's a secret. "

"Hey, you're mean! Mean ! M ..."

Having removed the wrapper from one of the chocolate bars, Megma took advantage of Seryu's mouth wide open to put the candy inside.

" Hmmph ? "

"Eat and then we can sleep! Tomorrow, we will have to get up early to hope to find your friends, before they change destination again."

Eating her own candy, Megma rummaged in her bag again and pulled out a blanket.

"Sorry, that's all I have with me! If you want we can share it."

"Do you mind?" Seryu asked her.

"Not at all!" Megma assured her, with a big smile.

Then, a few minutes later, the two girls were lying on the ground, huddled together, and covered with a blanket.

"Sorry." Megma apologized. "I didn't think I would meet another person."

"I'm sorry." Seryu retorted. "Earlier, I was stupid! You helped me a lot, thanks to your pokemon! Even if I had run, without ever stopping, I would never have been able to cover a distance as great as that that we did, thanks to you! Megma, thanks for your help. "

"It's nothing ! I really like helping people."

Silencing for a few moments, Seryu noticed.

"You still haven't told me about your past! Where were you born?"

"Here!" Megma assured her. "Among the Raptors, I am the only person who was born on this planet! That's why I know this realm perfectly."

"And what made you decide to join the Raptors?"

"I wanted to travel and help people! With my friends I am able to do it! And I'm happy for that! If I had refused to join them, I would never have met my precious pokemons."

at that moment, stepping on her, Servine finally settled on her stomach, before starting to fall asleep. Then, Skarmory walked over to Megma and settled down next to her, before imitating the other pokemon. Seeing them do, Koro stood up, before running and jumping towards Seryu. Feeling him land on her stomach, Seryu moaned in pain. Then, she felt Koro lie down on her stomach, before resuming her nap. Seeing this, Megma laughed, while asserting.

"It's nice, isn't it? To feel loved."

Staring at her, Seryu eventually smiles as well, before nodding.

"Yes ! "

Then, finally, the two girls fell asleep, surrounded by their companions.

During this time...

In the northern parts of Hyrule, there was an abandoned village infested with cats and chickens. There were broken windows and everything looked messy, but that didn't bother the cats. The only place still in good condition was a small house at the end of the village. Inside was Tatsumi, who was unconscious after her horrific fight with King Bulblin. Having tried to heal him as best he could, Run had bandaged his head around his head. However, he would have preferred Stylish to be here to heal him.

"You have to quickly find a way to reach the others."

Rummaging in his pockets, he took out his piece of the dial, which now pointed in a different direction, compared to earlier.

"I think we got away from Esdeath-san and the others."

Then putting the object away, he began to think.

"King Bulblin… he was a mighty opponent! Who knows what other creatures the others might have encountered?"

Then, staring at Tatsumi, he looked at the gun that was near the boy. Ayan was picked up by Link, the teigu was then given to Run, who was able to examine it. So his suspicions turned out to be true: Tatsumi's sword was indeed Incursio.

" A teigu from the Revolutionary Army? What does that mean? I thought it was former Captain Bulat, who owned him! But, anyway, if Tatsumi owns him ... then he's ... he is ... "

At that moment, the man saw Tatsumi who then began to wake up slowly.

"Tatsumi-san, you shouldn't be getting up yet." Run said.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Tatsumi said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Then he looked around to see a room full of cats.

"Where are we?" The boy asked, as one of the cats jumped onto his lap.

"We are in a hidden village. No one is going to attack us here." Run said.

At first surprised, Tatsumi finally saw his teigu posing near him. Immediately he grabbed it, before leveling it with his belt, hoping Run hadn't had time to figure out it was a teigu. Pretending to be surprised by his gesture, Run smiled, while asking him.

" Is there a problem ? "

"Huh… no… nothing!" Tatsumi lied.

Seeking to establish another conversation, he asked.

"What happened with King Bulblin?" If I remember correctly, Link-san intervened and then ... "

"Link-san defeated him."

"Where's Link?"

"He's outside feeding his horse. " Run said.

Immediately, Tatsumi got out of bed and went out to see a teenage boy with a green tunic, sword and shield on his back, feeding his red, white-haired horse. The teenager heard the sound of a door opening as he turned to see Tatsumi come out of the house, followed by Run.

"Ah, I see you're awake." Said the teenager.

"Link, thank you very much for helping us! This is the second time that you saved us today. " Tatsumi said.

"Elf? Wait a minute! Yes, I defeated King Bulbin on the bridge, but I'm not an elf." The teenager said as he finished feeding his horse.

"King Bulblin?" Run repeated. "Wait, is that his real name?"

" Yes, why ? "

" No nothing. "

"I'm a little surprised to see anyone facing King Bulblin besides me! I actually didn't expect to see you again at all! Are you Ran and Matsuti?"

"Huh ... it's Tatsumi."

"And my name is Run."

"Okay! And if I remember correctly, you are part of the Jaguars's group."

"It's Jaegers." Run retorted.

"And I'm not totally a part of it," Tatsumi retorted. "I'm more of a temporary member."

"What were you doing there? When I took you out of the river before taking you to Ito, you told me you were looking for your friends! Why were you fighting King Bublin? "

"It's that jerk monster who came to us to fight us." Tatsumi retorted. "If he hadn't come to piss us off, surely we would have found the others."

"You have to admit he was powerful," Run stated. "Lucky you came to help us, Link-san."

"It wasn't a problem at all, I like helping others in need." Link said with a smile, "By the way, I'm assuming you're heading for Lake Hylia, aren't you?"

"Lake Hylia? Indeed ! This is where our ship should be! Why? "Run asked.

" I know where it is. If you want, I can take you there. "Said Link.

" Truly ? Cool, you really are a nice guy. "Said Tatsumi, while giving her usual smile." Worthy of the hero of the kingdom. "

"No problem at all! However, I'm not a hero!" Link said before getting on his horse. "I am just a person who helps others."

Then looking in one direction, he declared.

"We should get there by sunset! You slept through the night yesterday, are you sure you want to go now?"

"No problem, I can… WHAT !? I SLEEP ALL NIGHT! " Tatsumi gasped. "Is that a joke?"

"Not at all." Run retorted. "I admit I also slept a few hours."

"In that case, we don't have time to waste." Tatsumi asserted. "I dare not even imagine what will happen if we anger Esdeath, just because we have delayed our departure from this world."

"Yes! You are right! There is something to be afraid of."

Finally, as Tatsumi settled behind Link, Run used his teigu to follow the hero's horse out of the village. As they left the village, they saw three bulblins aiming at them with their arrows.

"Alright, guys, stay back while I-HUH!" Link gasped when he saw Tatsumi leave his horse.

Then, running like a ninja, Tatsumi found himself in a few moments in front of the green creatures, who could only cry out in fear. One of them got hit by Tatsumi's foot, while the boy used his sword to behead the second. Unable to react, the third bulblin felt Tatsumi's skull hit his forehead, causing him to recoil. Then, taking advantage of him taking a step back, Tatsumi clenched his fist, before hitting him in the abdomen. Spitting blood, the monster fell to the ground. Seeing this, Tatsumi looked satisfied.

"After what happened yesterday, I needed to get my revenge."

Seeming to be surprised by the boy's speed and power, Link eventually puts his bow away, before declaring.

"From what I see you are not at all an amateur! I understand how you managed to fight King Bulblin! You are strong, Tatsumi-san."

"Thank you ... but I am weak compared to the person I wish to beat."

"Oh? Are you talking about the general?" Run asked.

Preferring to be silent, Tatsumi climbed back onto Link's horse and waited for him to resume walking.

"We will go through the mountains." Link said as they started walking the mountain road. A few minutes later they were out of the mountains to see the beautiful Hyrule Field, also with the view of the backside of Hyrule Castle. After the visit, they started walking in the fields.

"Tell me, what you told me earlier, about the fact that you come from another world, is that true? "

"That's right, Link-san," Run assured him. "We are indeed from another world! From what we have learned, we have to meet Master Hand in order to be able to come back home."

"Master Hand?" Link repeated. "It has been a long time since I heard that name."

"Do you know him?" Tatsumi wondered. "

"Of course! I am a participant in the tournament he created! Master Hand told me that my descendant was a competitor himself. He participated in this tournament twice in a row. Master Hand told me that 'he chose me to take his place. " Link said they are now on the east side of the Hyrule Fields.

"Thanks to this, I was able to meet many competitors with mind-blowing powers and I was even able to visit their worlds! Is our realm the first place you have stopped over?"

"No! Your world is the second we have the chance to visit." Tatsumi confessed. "We just left the Kingdom Mussroom! We got to meet Mario and Luigi."

"Mario-san? Damn it, it must be two years since I last saw him! I can't wait for the next tournament to take place! Mario-san was a strong opponent, as was Bowser."

" Bowser ? "

"I didn't expect this guy to be in these tournaments too." Tatsumi said, surprised.

"Master Hand was looking for strong fighters and Bowser was one of them! Besides, I'm surprised people like you weren't invited. "

"I know someone who would dream of participating in it." Tatsumi assured. "Besides, do you have any idea when the next tournament will take place?"

"I heard from Teacher that I was going to participate again in a few weeks, but it had been months since he said this. I wonder what's going on? Link asked as they now reached the hangar near Lake Hylia.

Link got off his horse.

"Okay, Epona, I'll be back in a while. Just stay here for now. "Link said, while his horse, Epona, nodded happily before heading off into the fields.

"Are you leaving your horse unattended?" Run wondered.

"Don't worry! He's not stupid! He knows how to spot danger! Besides, I don't know of any creature faster than him."

Then, Link opened the hangar door and stepped inside, while Luffy and Chopper did the same. They walked in to see a ladder right in front of them, but instead of grabbing it, they walked past it and walked over to a large, happy-looking clown.

"Well, if that's not the hero of Hyrule, Link. What a pleasant surprise." Said the big clown happily.

"Hello Falbi, how is business going?" Link asked.

"As usual, so did you come here to talk or did you want to try the 'Flight by bird' challenge?" Asked Falbi.

"I'm here to take my friends to the lake, so yeah, I was there for this challenge." Link said.

"Splendid, next to the fantastic… THREE BIG GUYS!" Said Falbi, looking at the trio. "Okay, since this is Link we're talking about, the ride will be free for the three of you. Now just grab a cuckoo clock of any color and have fun landing." Falbi said as the two Jaegers looked behind him to see cuckoos walking around.

"Are these birds flying? They look like big chickens," Tatsumi said, before grabbing the brown cuckoo, while Link took a white one.

"Now, since this is your first time, I'll show you what to do. Just hold the cuckoo over your head and jump while the cuckoo does all the flying. Have fun." Said Falbi before stepping aside.

"Sounds easy," Run said, patting Tatsumi on the back. "Good luck and above all, don't fall!"

"Motherfucker!" The boy roared, seeing Run spread his wings.

"Let's fly!" Link exclaimed, hopping off the ledge as his cuckoo started flapping like crazy.

"WOAH! " Tatsumi yelled, closing her eyes during the flight.

Beside him, Run flew quietly, making sure to be close enough to the boy, in case he fell into the void. Flying like this for a few minutes, he finally saw a lake, as well as a boat, with the mainsail covered with black paint, to cover the skull which was drawn on it.

"It's our boat." Run recognized him.

" What ? "Tatsumi wondered, opening her eyes." Where? "

"Link, over there!" Run yelled, starting to descend towards the boat.

"Okay!" Link assured, before ordering the birds to follow him.

Arriving first, Run put his foot on the floor of the boat and looked around. Immediately he gazed suspiciously as he saw some damage to the boat, as if a battle had taken place here.

"What happened here?"

"Where are the others?" Tatsumi asked, landing behind him.

At that moment a noise was heard and the trio turned around, arms in hand. Nonetheless, Run and Tatsumi calmed down, recognizing the little girl in front of them.

" Kurome ! "

Simply staring at the boys, with her sword in hand, the girl looked exhausted and her entire body was shaking. Finally, closing her eyes, she eventually passed out.
