Previously : We have found Eugene Dawson's journal in Tutanishad. We will use it to find the location of the Space Time Gear. We are coming to Bruce's villa.

Chapter 10 - The Only One

We went inside the car to go to Bruce's villa. It should've been a 2 hour ride. I and Amber feel asleep in the car.

We soon woke up to a large sound of explosion. I frantically looked around to check for something. The Templars were following us. They must have followed us from the airport and now want the journal. Bruce changed the speed of the car to 100 km/hr. We put on our seat belts.

Another explosion. This time near our car. They must be throwing bombs of some kind at us. Bruce called them grenades.

The car swayed back and forth and left and right. We were in such a frantic.

I opened a window and and Amber turned visible, but still in the car as to not be seen and he used a flamethrower towards the window.

It changed path due to wind and hit the Templars' car.

Another car came from behind that one! Grovyle used leaf storm on them.

They finally left.

I was wondering as to where they would've hidden their car in the desert. There was no obstacle for miles near Tutanishad. They must have more resources than we thought before. We need to be more careful.

We reached home in another hour. The car wasn't damaged too much. I, Amber and Grovyle took patrols around the house at different timings to make sure that those Templar guys weren't spying on us and Bruce.

Bruce was copying down Eugene's journal. Amber was laying outside near the pool, Grovyle was swimming in the pool. I decided to join them. I ran towards the pool and jumped in, causing water to splash outside on Amber's legs.

He got angry and used flamethrower towards me. I dived in the water where the flames got neutralized. He attacked for a few more times and I dodged them all. Then, he hot tired and fell back into his chair. He used up all his PP. He went to sleep.

I and Grovyle in the pool for awhile. I asked him, "What is it like? In the last world. It was our original home, right."

Grovyle stayed quiet for awhile then replied, "It was the sister universe of Amber's universe. Since that universe and our universe were disters, the effects of Amber's world's Dialga going Primal were seen in our universe as well. Time Gears had started failing and our Dialga has started showing signs of primalness as well. So we went to the sister universe to change the happenings. We landed in the future and set up a research area for the primalness of the universe. However our bodies started destabilizing after a few due to change in nuclear, chemical and physical properties of surrounding's matter. It was slow because our research area was of our universe, thus neutralizing some of the effects and the other universe had some similarities with ours, as it was a twin. I don't know exactly what happened to our universe after that as I didn't come back. It was partly primal and partly still alive. Our universe was beautiful AND primal."

Wow. The description was just like wow. I mean, like a beautiful primal universe. How would it look.

Grovyle countinued, "The universe should look nornal now. Primal Dialga has been defeated. Our universe is back. I saw some places from Palkia's portals. They looked normal. Not black and white anymore. Even more colorful than before."

Even more colorful. I can't wait to go back.

I asked Grovyle, "Can you tell me about my life there?"

Grovyle said, "Alright. Hmm. Well, you met me when you were 10 years old. Your dad, Edward, and your mom, Hermione had given me to you as a gift since you had no siblings at the time. An year later, you had gotten a younger sister, Lilly."

I have a sister!

I asked, "How old is she?"

Grovyle replied, "She should have become 8 last week."

I asked another question, "H... How many years have it been?"

Grovyle replied, "It's been almost 2 years since we left. We left the day after Lilly's birthday. We left for our lab. We told mom we could out for best case, a few months, worst case, never come back. We would never be able to tell when we would come back. When we would, we would straight walk through the door. The day we left, Lilly was crying so hard. You could hear her from across the street."

Hmm. I must have a really loving family.

"If you want, at that universe, you could get your memories of them back." said Grovyle.

"What! How?" I asked Grovyle back.

Grovyle said, "You had stored our DNA samples in your lab for genetic mutation cure. You can get your memories and your old human body back through your brain receptor machine. However, I don't know what will happen to your pokemon powers. I mean, we prepared for mutations like degeneration of body parts, but not changing into something else. You may keep the powers or lose the powers, I don't know."

I want my memories back, that's for sure. My family too. I had always dreamt of that I had a younger sibling. I asked Grovyle about her looks.

Grovyle replied, "She has blonde hair, brown eyes, cheeks as white as snow and lips as red as a drop of blood. She was one of the most beautiful girls of the city. At her school, she had won the Miss Raven Primary School Beauty Pageant."

Wow. I have a family that misses me and don't even know them. I would like to meet them at least once.

Bruce called out to us, telling us that the copying down is complete. We left for Apothreca. I was constantly thinking about them, my family. I imagined how they would look like, what would be my parents' jobs, etc.

We soon reached the place. The place was full of tourists. We got off and Bruce took the book with him. We reached inside the building. It must be atleast 3000-4000 years old. We reached the place. There, Bruce guided us to a corner area. There were small photos inscribed on the wall. One of them showed a Gear. We went to a room after that. There was a guard in that room. He stopped Bruce, telling him the area is off limits to tourists.

Bruce took out a badge from his pocket, which said, "Archaeological Survey Society". Bruce never told us that he was also an archaeologist. The guard cleared the path. We went in. The room had no one in it. We saw something written on the wall, different from the hieroglyphs. Bruce opened his book and started studying.

I roamed around the place. No one could see me, so I had no problem getting around. Hieroglyphs were in every room, except the one in which was Bruce. After about an hour, he finished. I came back to the room. He started reading without looking at us, as everyone was looking at him from the outside. It would be weird if people will see him talking to the air.

He started, "Walk around the room once, while touching the walls with your legs. Then press on the frame of the door. Then, put your fingers in the hollow eyes of the Queen and press it, then pull it."

Bruce said, "Queen... hmm. It must the Queen Sckerentian's statue at the entrance of the site."

Bruce started walking. He finished a lap. A loud sound was heard, like a giant lever being pulled. He tapped on the stone frame of the doorway of this room. Another sound was heard, like a huge button being pushed. Finally, Bruce left for the outside statue and put his fingers in the eyes and pressed it. Another button sound, this time, with much more loudness. He finally pulled it. The head came out!

We could be put in jail for vandalism of historical property! All the guards started walking towards us with batons taken out. Suddenly Bruce saw a lever, on the neck of the statue (or top now, as the head is gone). He shouted stop and said, "There's a lever here." The guards closed their batons, but did not put it in their pockets. One of them came to us and made an ok sign. The guards put their batons in the pocket. The one near us took the head from the statue from Bruce.

A crowd had gathered. Bruce pulled the lever, while mumbling to himself, "This'll probably be news of the decade." He pulled it as hard as he could. An ear piercing sound came for a second, then left.

Then a building started emerging from the ground nearby. It was a pretty small. It was just a covering for stairs that had emerged. The guards secured the area. Bruce went inside. We followed him.

I asked him, "How come you have such influence here?"

Bruce replied, "It's because I am an official archaeologist. These types of things ARE taken care of by archaeologists. I am one. So I was allowed to come in. Be careful. There could be traps, including pitfalls. Pitfalls are the only thing that affects you, right?"

I replied positive. The stairs were dark. Bruce turned on his cellphone light. The stairs were long as well. There were traps. I and Grovyle were ahead, scouting for Bruce, so that he doesn't get hurt.

After about walking for 20 minutes, we reached a large hall.

It was really dark. Bruce turned on his cell phone light to maximum.

There was a sort of sphere in the middle of the hall and on it's surface was etched the Gear. The rest of the room was filled with gold!

We had to break the sphere and get the gear inside. I used Aura Sphere. It didn't do a thing!

Amber used Flamethrower. Still nothing!

Grovyle used Leaf Storm.

Nothing was working!

We decided to use all of our moves at once, together. We did so. It still wasn't breaking!

We didn't stop. We needed more power.

From his bag, Bruce took out a hammer and hit the sphere. It broke into 100 pieces and a bright light suddenly blinded us.

After regaining vision, we saw the Space-Time Gear. We grabbed it and headed out. Bruce put it in his bag. He also took something else.

We went outside. The guards were still there. Bruce told them to call other archaeologists and to tell them that the room was full of gold. The guards were amazed. They called the archaeologists. We waited there until they came and then left. We reached the villa.

There were multiple cars outside. "Media, probably." said Bruce. When we neared the car, it wasn't the media. It was the Templars.

Of course, they must've followed us again. We were looking around the house. They mustn't have been in there, but were watching from a nearby building.

"Hand over the Gear, and we'll make this easier you." said William.

Bruce shouted, "No. Not a chance."

William said, "What'll you do? Huh, all alone."

These guys were idiots.

Bruce replied, "Huh. That's where you're wrong-"

"No. I know about those animals you have. I have measures for them. I have this." said William. He showed a gun. "This gun is an auto aim gun that can shoot mana, that is the energy that is of your pet ghosts. It can detect them and shoot them on its own. Or I can shoot them myself with these mana detector glasses."

We ran inside the villa. The gun was missing much of the time. It had hit Amber on his leg. I ran back and carried him back to the villa. His leg started to heal fast. It was good as new in 10 minutes.

Bruce said, "Quick, we don't have much time. The thing that I took from the ruin was a Past Piece. I'll get you out of here and teleport the Gear to the empty Spacial Rift of this world. No one should be there. The Gear will be safe there."

Bruce started the chants of the Past Piece. We all started to ve lidted in the air. We felt a piercing pain and we were in the universal portal again.

What'll the last world be like? How many Gears are needed this time? What'll happen after this universe? Find out in the next chapter.
