Elf-like Life

! ! ! ! !

Charmander + Pikachu:

"Wait, should we continue fighting?!"

However, the current Dialga is not the Dark Dialga of the past; the black blood markings all over his body have disappeared.

It is clearly a normal Dialga bathed in the rainbow light of the Outdated Gear.

Dialga:

"This has nothing to do with the two of you."

"I am enraged by the Holy Grail!"

Pikachu immediately realized that the Dialga in front of it seemed much calmer, as if it had completely recovered:

"Huh? Huh?"

"Dialga, you've finally regained your senses, so you can hear my conversation with Charmander now, right?"

Dialga's silence was the implicit response.

He then continued, taking a step forward in his recollection:

"The Holy Grail I ultimately obtained was the [Cursed Holy Grail]!"

"I only found out about all this later, but it was too late!!"

"I am corrupted by the blood of darkness."

"erosion,"

"Further erosion!!!"

"Ultimately, this led to an inability to escape the control of dark forces, which in turn fueled the spread of the underworld!"

Charmander interjects:

"What happened to the Marshadow later?"

Dialga:

"It is said that he was later taken to Rose Valley Island by Palkia and treated by Roseradore, a divine healer there."

Charmander immediately recalled what Roseredo had said at the Rose Valley Healing House.

And why Roserade was so confident in Celebi, who had narrowly escaped death from the underworld, was because she had already healed the seriously injured Marshadow.

"No wonder Roserade boasted that she could heal Celebi."

"The example of Masado makes it all make sense."

The next second,

Dialga suddenly turned to the two smaller ones again, his towering figure exuding a divine aura:

"Thank you both."

"If you hadn't brought the Gears of Time, my Tower of Time wouldn't have been able to complete its final purification, and I wouldn't have been able to regain my sanity."

Pikachu:

"By the way, now your Tower of Time won't collapse anymore, right?"

Actually, both Charmander and Pikachu feel that the Time Limit Tower is much more stable now.

At least there will be no more serious earthquakes or similar events, so it is inferred that the situation is trending towards stability.

"Alright! Let me show you what the Tower of Time is like now!"

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar—"

Dialga once again used his spacetime abilities, projecting the entire Tower of Time onto the two children:

Although the Tower of Time is severely damaged overall,

However, the main structure survived.

The entire 100th floor is there, and you can even see the other rooms where the little dream monster is from a distance.

It can be said that they survived the great disaster and are struggling to maintain their current state.

"Having gone through all this, I will do everything in my power to repair the Tower of Time, the Phantom Continent, and other areas under my jurisdiction."

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar—"

"Of course, repairs mean it will take a lot of time. I am the god of time, and time is a substance that I can utilize extensively."

"Therefore you don't need to worry."

The next instant, Dialga projected the situation of the Treasure Continent in front of the two little ones.

Treasure Continent - On the Green Plains

Fresh dew dripped slowly from the leaves, and three bees cautiously and nimbly flew out again among the plants.

Treasure Land - Surrounding Area at Sea Level

The storm had subsided on the shimmering sea, and after the rain, rows of big-billed gulls flew across the blue sky and white clouds.

Another Dianthus sea lion surfaced.

Treasure Continent - Rocky Plains

The Golems resumed their cooperation with the Mighty Ones, working together to transport large quantities of rocks from the mountaintop downhill.

Many armored birds are looking for new homes.

Treasure Continent: The Three Mountains of Beiling

The temple of the Pillar King has been almost completely restored, and the three Pillars have each returned to their respective mountain territories.

Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar also maintained their formation as they descended the snowy mountain under the sunlight.

"They are the predecessors of the legendary expedition team!" (Pikachu exclaims excitedly)

"Hey hey hey!"

"Isn't that Treasure Town over there? Treasure Town Plaza and everyone from the Wigglypuff Guild!!!"

Treasure Town & Treasure Square

On a sunny afternoon,

All the stalls have returned to normal. The Bianyinlong brothers even specially repaired their general store because of the last natural disaster.

The buck-toothed raccoon was doing its daily shopping in front of the general store, looking rather silly.

Even the musical note parrots have come out to sunbathe, a rare occurrence for them, accompanied by their chubby little cat, who's also strolling around the square.

The divination crystal ball of the natural bird turned pure and transparent, and without incident, all the expedition teams lined up to open the treasure chest.

In the very end,

The camera pans to Charmander and Pikachu's cozy little house.

The place where the adventure began, the home where friendship lasts forever.

————Wish Star House.

Pikachu is crying:

"Waaah, little dragon, look!"

"Our Wishing Star House is still here, and everyone is safe and sound, sob sob sob, I suddenly don't know what to say anymore, sob—"

Charmander:

"Yes,"

"The Wishing Star House survived; our warmest little house still exists."

"We have finally completed our respective missions!"

"We can finally go home."

"Pikachu!!!"

Seeing that the two little ones had finished surveying the current situation outside, Dialga explained:

"Don't worry about the Treasure Continent, after all, there's a time difference between here and there."

Actually, quite a bit of time has passed since the Treasure Land arc began.

The previous natural disasters and anomalies have all subsided, meaning that Charmander and Pikachu are unaware that they have been in the Tower of Time for so long.

Time flows more slowly in the Tower of Time.

The previous collapse further slowed things down.

Therefore, the scenes the two little ones saw were of the Treasure Land several days later, and at least for now, it was still warm.

This is what is known as time difference.

Dialga concluded by saying:

"Thank you again for what you've done."

"I've also confirmed that the Rainbow Stone Boat you returned in can still be activated."

"You can leave my territory, which is this Time Limit Tower, by returning the way you came in the Rainbow Stone Boat."

Charmander and Pikachu both nodded:

"Okay, we understand!" (X2)

Dialga took one last look in the direction of the throne:

"And these Gears of Time,"

"I will borrow it for a while. Once I have completely repaired the Tower of Time, I will personally return it to its original guardians."

"The borrowing period won't be too long, so you don't need to worry about it."

Having said that, Dialga turned and looked towards the farthest point of the Pillar of Spears, gazing down at the heavens:

"Gentlemen,"

"Finally, I'd like you all to enjoy this with me."

"—Let it be the first ray of sunlight to shine into the underworld."

The first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and passed through the Tower of Time at the very top of the Underworld.
