Chapter 217 was a perfect trip.

------

End of the 49th year of the Alliance calendar.

The sky was obscured by gray clouds, and a light drizzle of snow was falling.

Wu Ge's fingertips lightly touch the flower of time.

Flower buds are in full bloom.

The scene in front of me changed.

Liz was kneeling beside him, arranging the flowers in front of his tombstone.

"call"

It was just a few movements, but she was exhausted.

"Haha."

Wu Ge grinned.

It's not that I'm making fun of Liz, it's just that he himself is in the same situation now.

You can't deny getting old.

Liz turned over, leaned against his tombstone, and quietly gazed at the sky.

a long time.

"Ah Lan, come with me somewhere."

Liz spoke softly.

Her eyelids seemed heavy, and her eyes were full of weariness and vicissitudes.

Wu Ge turned to look at Liz, his pupils trembling slightly as he realized something.

"Okay, let's go together."

Wu Ge pursed his lips, looked up at the gray sky, and exhaled a long breath of hot air.

The two elderly people struggled to get up.

Liz went ahead.

And Wu Ge.
I plan to say goodbye first.

Slowly strolling out of the flowerbed, Masked Cat was squatting on the grass, quietly watching the blades of grass on the ground.

Over the past six months, she has become increasingly silent.

because
She could sense it.

Wu Ge's life force is getting weaker and weaker.

"If we just leave you like this, you might develop a heart condition later."

Wu Ge, standing at a distance, shook his head and murmured.

He walked over.

Masked Cat stood up when it heard footsteps behind it.

"Meow?"

"Masked Cat, I'm leaving."

Wu Ge stepped forward and gently hugged the big cat.

"Meow"

Masked Cat lowered its eyelids, seemingly unsurprised by the situation.

"I'm sorry, but this time, I can't let you come along anymore, okay?"

Wu Ge handed a Poké Ball to Masked Cat.
"If you meet a trainer you like, give this to her."

That's Masked Cat's Friend Ball.

"."

Upon hearing this, Masked Cat's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She suddenly lowered her head, and tears streamed down her face.

It was clearly expected.

She also felt that she was mentally prepared.

But when that moment actually arrived, she still couldn't control her emotions.

"I've already told you everything I needed to say, so I won't say anything more."

Wu Ge pursed his lips, raised his hand, and gently patted the masked cat's head.
"You are proof that I have lived, so live on for my part too, or I will be very worried."

"."

Masked Cat's shoulders trembled slightly, it sniffed, and still looked down at the grass.

Wu Ge looked at the big cat in front of him, stretched out his head and gently kissed her forehead.

Then he turned and walked away into the distance.

When saying goodbye, make sure you have no regrets.

Wu Ge's words resurfaced in Masked Cat's mind.

She looked up and watched Wu Ge's figure gradually disappear into the distance, then reached out and wiped her eyes.

She put her hands to her mouth, crying and shouting:
"I will sing loudly in the future and sing for many, many people."

"I'll go to Orange Academy too, but I'll only call you Dad."

"I will eat well, I won't be picky about food, I'll eat everything."

"I will also take a shower every day and learn to comb my own hair."

"Even if I encounter difficulties, I will not be discouraged and will always persevere."

"And more. And more."

"I'm great at making friends; I can become friends with everyone."

"I make sure I get enough sleep every day. Although I don't understand what nonsense is, I can tell the difference between good and bad."

"all in all."

"I will try my best to meet all of Dad's requirements. I will become a better Pokémon than you. I will definitely do it."

"so."

Masked Cat raised its paw and frantically wiped its eyes, choking back sobs, but still managed to shout out with its last strength:
"Don't worry about me at all, I'll live a perfectly good life!!"

Wu Ge, walking slowly into the distance, did not stop.

He didn't look back.

He didn't want Masked Cat to see his current expression.

She was both crying and laughing.
It must be really ugly.

"I love you, Dad!"

".I love you too."

Wu Ge murmured as he continued forward.

Only after he had walked quite a distance did he cautiously look back.

Masked Cat knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, his face covered in snot and tears, looking extremely pitiful.

In Wu Ge's eyes.

She still looks like she was when she was just born.

The tiny new leaf kitten is so cute, it looks adorable when held in your palm.

Reluctantly, he withdrew his gaze.

Wu Ge turned and headed south.

With the help of the Flower of Time, he followed Liz's phantom toward the southwest.

They are moving very slowly.

Wu Ge and Liz both walked very slowly.

They travel during the day and sleep at night.

Five or six days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early years of the Alliance calendar, 50.

Exactly one thousand years have passed since Liz's death.

Wu Ge felt he had reached his limit.

I'm afraid I won't make it until the next sunrise, so I can only silently speed up my pace.

“I know where you’re going.” Wu Ge looked at Liz, who was walking ahead with her cane, and smiled.

That direction
It's Baiyin Mountain.

Very close.

He can already see the Silver Mountain.

The sun slowly set, and the sky changed from grayish-white to a dusky yellow.

Wu Ge and Liz slowly walked to the foot of Baiyin Mountain.

We entered the outer perimeter of Baiyin Mountain.

Keep going.

They came to a lake.

"Ah Lan, do you remember this place?"

Liz looked at the lake in front of her, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

"of course."

Wu Ge grinned; of course he was familiar with it.

He was born by the lake in his first life, and was born directly into the lake in his second life.

The most crucial one.
I met Liz here in both my past and present lives.

This small lake, which has remained largely unchanged for a thousand years, holds a special significance for them.

It's snowing here, how about where you are?

"I'm logging off here too."

Wu Ge looked up, but all he could see were the tree canopies.

"There's something I haven't told you yet; it's the story of me and a bee named 'Ah Huang'."

Liz walked to a tree and slowly sat down against the trunk.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the water's surface, as she quietly recounted her story with the giant beedrill.

"There's something I haven't told you yet: that Beedrill is actually me."

Wu Ge walked to her side, leaned against her, and listened to her recount the past that he also knew about.

"Ah Lan?"

Suddenly, Liz opened her eyes in surprise, looked at the lake, and rubbed her eyes.

Wu Ge turned his head to look, but didn't see anything on the lake.

But then he remembered something.

In the previous life.

When he parted ways with Scyther, he brought him to this lake.

He had seen Liz when he was lying in the lake.

"So that's when it was."

Wu Ge murmured something.

Although he didn't know why he could see Liz back then, he didn't want to think about it now.

The last bit of time
They stopped using their brains.

He wanted to get some rest.

"Ah Lan, I'm so tired."

Liz's weak voice came through.

Her head tilted slightly to one side, as if she were leaning on Wu Ge's shoulder.

Just like a thousand years ago, when Liz was tired, she would rest her head on the soft body of Wu Ge.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years. Now, let me tell you about my trip with a kitten."

Wu Ge pursed his lips and fell into his own memories.

If you're ever unhappy, come back home. This will always be your home.

A man should honor his promises!

Remember to eat well.

Don't get me wrong, I just made an extra Poké Ball.

If you're bullied, come find me. I'll even make trouble for the Dragon Clan.

As long as we're alive, we'll meet again someday.

Welcome back to Zhuqing City!

If you were human, perhaps I would fall in love with you.

You are my first friend, and I will always remember you.

I owe you a favor, and if I'm still alive, I'll repay it.

I have no doubt that you will become a walking legend in the future.

There are so many stories to tell.

It's impossible to finish explaining it all in a short time.

It's not just that he can't finish talking about it.

Liz couldn't listen to the whole thing either.

perhaps
We can leave that for another time and tell it slowly.

"Well"

Liz murmured softly.

The light of the setting sun shone on the small lake, scattering golden halos that painted the entire winter forest.

A thin, cautious unicorn beetle quietly crawled out from a nearby branch.
A cute and innocent miniature dragon quietly emerged from the water nearby.
It's unclear whether they came from a thousand years ago or from the present.
Wu Ge felt his eyelids grow heavy.

He turned to look at Liz beside him.

She had closed her eyes, and her breathing had become slow and steady.

Even though she is nearly a hundred years old, her brows still exude an unchanging gentleness.

"It's strange, even though you've been gone for a long time, I feel like you're still with me."

Yes, I'm right here beside you.

“In that case, even if I die here, I won’t feel afraid or lonely.”

"Well, I'll accompany you."

“Ah Lan.”

"Ok?"

"Good night."

The lake shimmered, a chilling atmosphere pervaded the air, and wisps of orange-yellow mist rose from its surface, concealing the entire forest.

A nearby crystal quietly emitted a warm, fluorescent yellow light.
