Previosly : We are bound for Cairo, Egypt with Bruce Williams Chambler. I have uncovered a meeting of a group called Templars. They want the Gear for themselves.

Chapter 9 - Recovery

I decided to go inside William as I would be safer. However, I would not control him. He will be in full control of his body. This way will be better as I could make a habitual mistake in the room. He would not know or feel anything. I was seeing through William's eyes.

The meeting started :

Hermione started, "Thank you all for coming here. This is a very special meeting here today. We have to get the Space-Time gear for ourselves. It would get us enough power to stop our deaths. We would instead be with Arceus instead of dying.

We dunno what the are rebels thinking. They shall die anyway, but take us with them."

It was obvious that they didn't know many things. The world would be safe if we won.

Most of the universes knew that. They wanted to be the only ones alive.

They didn't even know about the light side of Arceus.

It was useless to waste my time with them. They had such bad tactics. They were to steal the gear from us after we found it. What kind of strategy was that? If I were in their place, I would've tried to get there before them and get it before.

I came back and told everything to Bruce, Amber and Grovyle.

We were completely relaxed. They were such idiots. First, they were showing their plans in public (well, not exactly public, but enough public for ghosts), then they had such poor strategy. We were relaxed.

In a few hours, we landed in Cairo. The place was very hot. There was sand everywhere. I hadn't seen so much sand in my whole life (as much as I remember). Bruce had done shopping at the airport mall. He had a suitcase full of gears needed for the exploration trip. He had clothes in his backpack. He got the suitcase from the airport, then we left.

Cairo was a beautiful city. It had so many ancient ruins of the Old Egyptian civilization. I had never seen such beauty in my memories. We soon reached Bruce's villa. It was huge, but not as big as his permanent home. It has 2 floors and 26 rooms.

Bruce went to his room and gave us another room across from his. Our room consisted of 3 beds, 2 study tables and chairs, a dining area and a fridge. How do I remember what was that thing? I mean, what is happening to me? Am I regenerating my memories due to exposure to the other universes? If I am, good. If it is something else, then what...

No, what else could it be?

I thought about asking Grovyle about my past, but he was already asleep. What difference does it make? I mean, I have everyone that I want with me. My friends from the Guild, Amber, who is almost like my brother now and Grovyle, who is very near to me. He saved us all. He could've died. Fortunately the future split in 2 and he was fine. I was too, because of that. I am happy with what I have right now.

I went to sleep.

When I woke up, it was still early. The sun was just visible across the horizon.

However everyone was up. I talked to Bruce for the plan as he knew the most about this world.

We were to go to Tutanishad and look for Eugene's diary in the place. It would've been too difficult for humans to enter, due to traps, but ghosts can't get hurt. When we get in, we have to get the diary and run. We can turn ourselves into bodily forms for limited time, as when we were told by Dialga, but we would feel pain of the booby traps. We would do that after we found the book. This way, chances of getting trapped would be low. We could fall into pits on our way out. However, we wouldn't get hurt as we don't have a real body to be damaged. We decided to go.

Bruce had multiple cars in his villa's garage. He took a black one with no roof on. Tutanishad was a 3 hour ride from the villa. I fell asleep during the trip. When I woke up, the car was stopped. I asked Bruce, "Is something wrong?"

He replied, "No. This is the place. We have to find the ruins. They are buried somewhere here, in the sand. Lend me a hand, please. Here are some paintbrushes."

He gave us large sized paintbrushes, ones used to colour houses.

We started after changing into bodily, visible forms

I didn't know how many hours it had been before Amber yelled, "I found it." Everyone rushed over. A small latch was found by Amber. Bruce used it. Sand started moving. A large staircase revealed itself. I, Amber and Grovyle went in while Bruce stayed outside.

The place was huge. It had wall inscription which were photo like. It should be man, drinking from a glass made of gold, a man jumping into a canyon, many people hiding the ruins with sand, and...

Dialga and Palkia. What? They don't exist in this world. Have they talked to these ancient civilization's members. They are immortal. I don't know which world's or worlds' Dialga and Palkia are they. They could be of mine and Grovyle's home world's, Amber's home world or the yong world's. It could be any world's. I'll ask the Dialga I know. There were mant other engravements I couldn't dven recognize. Some were destroyed, some were damaged, some were in okay condition.

One such engravement showed a Lucario like creature! It was partly looking like one, but also partly humanoid. Hmm... There were many oddities like this, but all of them were of humanoid animals, not humanoid pokemon.

After travelling down a few stairs, we saw some traps. We passed it due to our ghostly abilities. Few more stairs later, we saw a dead end. What? I used my soul ability to pass through the wall. It wasn't a dead end. However, we had to get this wall down to be able to bring the book back. If one of our turns partly bodily, then that one wouldn't be able to pass through walls anymore.

We looked around for a lever. After searching for about 20 minutes, Grovyle found it hidden inside a loose removable rock in the wall. We went inside. The engravings here were almost all destroyed. They looked much older than the ruins before the door.

We went in further. Behind another door, we found the journal. It was in a very poor condition. It had to be handled with care. I decided to pick it up. I did so with care. I turned into my visible, partly bodily form. We started to leave. Grovyle went on ahead to scout for traps. He gave me indications. Amber was near me to check my path.

We reached outside. Bruce was waiting for us. He was suprised when we gave him the journal. He exclaimed, "You actually found it. I wasn't even completely sure if it was here. I had come here on a 62.5 % chance. Well then, let's go back to the villa. I should read the book carefully as to not tear it and then copy it down to be taken to Apothreca. I shall start the job as soon as we reach home."

We went in the car and left for home.

Where is the Space-Time Gear? Will the Templars try to stop Rayce, Amber and company? Find out in the next chapter.
