As the group walked through the chambers, Dawn keeps her walk to a slow pace so she could look around. There were pictures on the cavern walls, the majority of which were faded. She could manage to make out a few of them though. She noticed three beings surrounding a strange gear shape like she had seen in the forest and then she noticed something that she could easily describe as a fairy like creature next to a portal.
"Those three figures around the gears are guardians, like my dear K.O. and my dear Grovyle. They are Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit, the beings of wisdom, spirit, and emotions. The other image is one of a powerful time Pokémon named Celebi, Celestia Celebi to be exact. The object next to her is supposedly the passage of time, heehee." A small voice seemed to whisper in Dawn's ear. It sounded similar to ringing bells. Dawn's first thought, for some strange reason was 'Tinkerbell'. Dawn turned towards the sound as saw a small fairy like creature with pink leafy skin. "I'm Celestia, Celestia Celebi. Who are you though?"
Celestia half expected the child to grab at her, what she didn't expect was for the child to respond kindly. "I'm Dawn, Dawn Rose Dewdrop. It's nice to meet you. We were looking for you." Dawn held out her hand to the little fairy like creature, with a wide smile on her face.
"Oh?" Celebi looked at the child and noticed the innocence in her eyes. She held out her tiny hand and shook the young girl's. "Nice to meet you too, Dawn. What are you doing here though?"
"K.O. and Grovyle were going to go back in time without me and Mandy, and we couldn't let them do that, now could we? We all gotta save the world!" She smiled brightly and sounded like a little girl who didn't really understand what was going on but was still trying to help. "Can you tell me more about the time gears? I want to help find them!"
Celestia looked at the little girl, and then she smiled widely. She was happy to meet someone who had such an honest soul still. She then thought about the others. "Let's wait for the others to get back. They'll want to listen to what I have to say, Dawn."
Dawn's eyes widened as she realized she had been left behind. "Oh scales! Grovyle's gonna be furious! I was supposed to stick by him!" She ran off in the direction of the others while holding a very surprised Celestia by the wrist. The little girl ran as fast as she could while making sure not to trip and nearly bumped into a wall that suddenly sprang up from the ground. "Wha!" She stopped and blinked, keeping Celestia behind her. "Where the scales did this come from?"
Celestia looked at her questioningly. Why was this child saying "scales" so much? "It seems one of the cavern Pokémon don't want us anywhere near here…"
Dawn let go of Celestia and started sniffing at the air like she was a Houndour. Her eyes widened and then turned into a glare. "Get behind me, now." Celestia did so curiously and noticed the Pokémon that was standing a few feet from where they had been. "Celestia, what is that?" Dawn's voice was sounding a little deeper, no longer soft and kind, but rather, older and angry.
Right in front of them was an angry Rock like creature. It looked similar to a turtle mixed with a boulder. "It's a Golem!" Her squeak was terrified and small. "We need to get out of here. I don't know any moves that can stop it!"
Dawn closed her eyes for a second to get a grasp on the situation. The Golem started charging while Celestia flew out of the way, yelling at Dawn to get out of the way. When Dawn's eyes opened she had her wooden sword out and ready to defend herself. The Golem charged, feet away from her when she finally jumped out of the way and hit the back of its head with the sword's side. The Golem crashed into the wall that had blocked their way and collapsed. It was now unconscious.
Dawn looked at Celestia, making sure she wasn't hurt, and then smiled in a childish way. She was back to normal. "Thanks for the warning, Celestia. I'm not sure I could've handled that without help." Celestia blinked. This little girl had just taken down a Golem in one fell swoop, and she was thanking her for it? The little girl then looked through the hole and saw a surprised Grovyle and K.O. while Mandara was trying to contain her laughter. "Oh, there you are. I was worried that I'd lost you." She smiled.
Grovyle just shook his head and sighed. She was certainly a handful for a human. He then noticed Celestia's shocked look at the child. He couldn't help but smirk. "What, you've never seen a human girl before?"
"Um, no, it's not that… she… never mind." Celestia blinked in shock. "And you all are… oh, hello, K.O. are these friends of yours?"
"Yeah, sorry for the intrusion Celestia. We were hoping for some information…" The Oshawatt blushed.
"Um… what information?"
Dawn smiled and looked up at the fairy like creature that was hovering above them. "I want to know about Time travel and time gears."
