"By the way, do you know where the first queen of the Dragon Clan went afterward?"

"you know?"

Wu Ge looked at the Dragonite with curiosity.

This was also his initial purpose for coming to the Dragon Clan's territory, but he only remembered it now.

"I heard it from an old Scorpion King. The queen left the Dragon Kingdom at the age of 38 and headed north to travel the world."

"."

Wu Ge's eyes flickered, but he did not respond.

because.

He had guessed it; he had guessed it ever since he first read it in Sora's book.

"She walked northwards on her own two feet, and in those harsh times a thousand years ago, it took her sixty years and at least 4 kilometers to walk back here. By then, she was 98 years old and needed a cane to walk."

"."

Wu Ge lowered his head, unsure of his own expression.

It probably won't look very good.

40,000 kilometers.

That's the distance that goes around the Earth once.

"I heard she set off to fulfill an important promise."

"."

"Go in and take a look yourself. I'm going to get a drink of water."

"it is good."

Wu Ge nodded gently and stepped into the small flower garden alone.

He really wants to be alone right now.

Flowers of various colors intertwine in the flowerbed.

Red as fire, yellow as gold, purple as the sunset, their fragrance is intoxicating, and they are so beautiful that it's like stepping into a fairy tale.

However, in this picturesque scenery...

Wu Ge, however, felt that the flowerbed wasn't actually that pretty.

Instead, it revealed an indescribable desolation.

Because two tombstones stand quietly in the center of the flowerbed.

The inscription was worn, but Wu Ge could still recognize a few words on it—Liz and Alan.

Liz spent a long time teaching him these two names.

These are some of the few characters he can recognize and write in this world.

The two names seem to carry a story buried by time, as if telling a tale of a long-ago history.

Wu Ge recalled what Kuailong had said.

I turned around and looked.

Dragonite has disappeared, and it seems that only he and these flowers remain in the entire valley.

There was not a sound at all; it was extremely quiet.

Turning his head to look at the two tombstones standing silently in front of him, his emotions gradually fluctuated.

Ten years have passed, and we are separated by life and death. I try not to think about it, but I can't forget it.

In an instant.

A slight throbbing sensation rose in Wu Ge's chest, and ripples appeared in his eyes, like pebbles gently falling into a lake.

Then the scene before his eyes began to change.

"Liz?"

Wu Ge watched as Liz walked past him.

Cliz ignored him standing next to her.

Wu Ge reached out to touch Liz's arm, but watched helplessly as his hand passed right through Liz's arm.

phantom.

"Time ripples? I'm seeing a scene from a thousand years ago?"

Wu Ge immediately realized what was going on.

For the first time, the power of the ripples residing in the Seed of Miracles took effect.

However, the power of the time ripples only allowed his eyes to break free from the constraints of time and capture some random and fragmented images.

He may have the privilege of being an observer, but he cannot truly step into the situation to make any changes or have any impact.

In Wu Ge's field of vision.

Liz walked to Alan's tombstone, gently raised her hand, and traced the inscription with her fingertips before sitting down on the grass beside it.

Sunlight shone through the sparse clouds into the flowerbed, casting dappled shadows on him and Liz.

Wu Ge couldn't explain it either.

Does this sunlight come from a thousand years ago, or from the present?

Many white strands appeared in her hair, and her complexion became much more haggard, losing its former radiance.

This made Wu Ge momentarily unsure how old Liz was.

Wu Ge approached and quietly sat down behind Liz.

She spoke slowly.

But he couldn't hear.

Wu Ge turned his head and looked quietly at Liz. In the afterglow of the sunlight, she looked somewhat sad and lonely.

Liz parted her pink lips slightly, opening and closing them slowly.

He instinctively leaned closer, but still couldn't hear anything.

He tried to decipher Liz's lips, but the illusion was sometimes clear and sometimes half-transparent, as if shrouded in mist, making it impossible to understand.

"."

Wu Ge pursed his lips, feeling a slight sense of resentment.

He mobilized the grass-type energy within his body to the fullest extent, and the vibrant green current flowed towards the source of the ripples in his heart.

His senses were gradually amplified, and the power of the time ripples was also gradually increasing.

He heard it.

"I want him to be free, happy, and to live for himself."

Liz's voice echoed in Wu Ge's ears.

Every word felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

Wu Ge turned his head to look at his side, his gaze spanning a thousand years, and landed steadily on Liz.

This time, his eyes were firm yet relieved, as if his confused and lost life had suddenly found a clear and visible goal.

Liz bent her knees, hugged her legs tightly, and wrapped herself in the cloak behind her.

The sun was scorching and warm, but she seemed completely oblivious to it.

Without hesitation, Wu Ge got up and walked behind Liz, knelt down, and stretched out his arms to embrace her.

"Ah Lan, I miss you again."

Liz was momentarily dazed, then lowered her head and buried it in the crook of her knees.

"I know, me too."

Wu Ge responded softly.

He knew Liz couldn't hear.

But he has to respond.

At this moment, Wu Ge's emotions were like a suppressed volcano; it did not erupt, but it was intense and turbulent.

Emotion is an unparalleled energy.

It may not be obvious in humans, but it is quite different in Pokémon.

Wu Ge's grass-type energy surged, constantly stimulating and strengthening the ripple power within the Miracle Seed.

Wu Ge stared blankly and puzzled at his hand, which was suddenly glowing with a crystalline green light.

suddenly.

He caught a glimpse of a tear falling from Liz's face.

Wu Ge instinctively reached out to take it.

But the tears flowed through his palm and landed on the inconspicuous little flower below.

Wu Ge's gaze faltered, he sighed, and gently stroked the flower in his palm.

However, a scene that surprised him unfolded.

At that moment, Liz seemed to see the little flower beneath her, and she actually reached out her hand towards it.

this moment.

Wu Ge and Liz's hands accidentally overlapped.

Liz looked up and paused, as if she had realized something, and subconsciously looked behind her.

Wu Ge was overjoyed, thinking that Liz could finally see him.

But he soon understood from Liz's empty pupils.

No.

Liz didn't see him.

However, Liz noticed his presence.

"I'm here."

Wu Ge and Liz looked at each other quietly, and Wu Ge gave her a silly grin.

Liz blinked, tears welling in her eyes, and responded with a gentle smile.

Just like a thousand years ago.

The same.

It has never changed.

Liz will always show Aran the gentlest smile.

"Do you remember? We made two promises."

Liz slowly raised her head, squinting as she looked up at the boundless clear sky above.

The sky was clear and blue, and the white clouds drifted lazily by.

She felt that the world seemed to have regained a little color.

"Yes, I'll always be with you."

Wu Ge nodded and looked up as well. The sunlight on his side was a little too bright.

"Also, let's travel around the world together."

As soon as he finished speaking...

The time ripples within his body gradually subsided.

It's as if his promise to Liz has been sealed by the power of time, and no matter how much time passes, this seal will not be broken.

The illusion before my eyes vanished, like a mirage.

But Wu Ge's heart was very clear.

"Oh, right, I have something for you."

Wu Ge reached into his backpack.

He took out an ugly, rough Poké Ball and quietly placed it in front of Liz's tombstone.

"I owed you a Poké Ball in my past life, and I'm giving it back to you in this one."

Wu Ge pursed his lips.

He turned and walked out of the flowerbed.

A gentle breeze brushed past him from behind, carrying the fragrance of flowers, like a slender, soft hand gently nudging his back.

Just as I was about to step out of the flowerbed.

"I met a friend on my way here, and one thing he said has stuck with me ever since."

Wu Ge suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"A man's promise must be kept without fail."

Outside the flowerbed.

The dragon quietly appeared in place, watching Wu Ge emerge from the flowerbed, basking in the sunshine.

A gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Isn't this a nice place?"

"very good."

Wu Ge nodded slightly and looked back.

This flowerbed seems to have escaped the turbulent flow of time; no matter how much time passes, it should remain unchanged.

Have you decided what to do next?

"Ah."

Wu Ge turned his head to look north, his mind made up, and murmured softly.
"I have to fulfill two important promises."

"Have a safe journey."

Kuailong looked at Wu Ge quietly and nodded emphatically.

This is what the spirited Dragonite from a thousand years ago should have looked like.

This is the handsome dragon she has loved for nearly a thousand years.

Dragonite lived for a very long time.

She knew that there were some extraordinary beings and some extraordinary powers in this world.

There must be some power within him that allows him to start over.

Although the probability of this is very small.

But it is precisely because of the existence of this power.

That's why she persisted in staying in the Dragonite territory, continuing to hold onto that insignificant feeling, hoping that one day that fate could continue.

"When to set off?"

"Well, there's no rush."

"Could you stay here a little longer? I'd like to chat with you."

"Of course!"

Wu Ge nodded vigorously.

Whether it was this connection spanning a thousand years, or helping him recall his moves, or bringing him to this important place.

Any point.

He would never refuse Dragonite's request.

"Thank you."

"No, I'm the one who should say thank you."

"hehe."

A simple yet happy smile appeared on Dragonite's face.
