Elf-like Life

Chapter 474, The Long Road Home

The rainbow stone boat in the distance emitted a dazzling light.

Trapped in endless sorrow, Pikachu could only face the cruel reality, stumbling along the way.

Walking,

Keep walking...

Charmander is gone.

The forest lizard is gone.

The Wishing Star House expedition team is no longer around.

At this moment, Pikachu didn't want to think about anything anymore, but it had to keep its promise to Charmander before parting:

"Waaaaah, I can't collapse here!"

"We must get back alive!"

"Because I promised Charmander!!"

"We must not only survive, but also tell everyone everything that has happened!!!"

So Pikachu quickened its pace.

Running,

Keep running,

I tripped and fell, but after getting up, I still managed to catch up with the Rainbow Stone Boat!

[Ding! Successfully boarded the Rainbow Stone Boat, about to carry Pikachu back to the lowest level of the Mystic Land]

Pikachu watched the Tower of Time recede into the distance.

Everything that happened before was still vivid in my mind.

He really didn't want to look at it anymore, and finally gently closed his eyes.

The Tower of Time... is getting further and further away...

[And the little dragon...]

It's getting further and further away from me...

【Ah ...

————The Tower of Time - Major Storyline Break——————————————

that's it,

Pikachu returns to the mythical land.

Following the guidance of the dragon, they successfully reunited with the dragon waiting on the sea and finally returned to the Treasure Continent aboard the dragon.

As soon as Pikachu returned to Treasure Town,

They were immediately surrounded by countless happy little elf adventurers.

It was a moment of triumph he had never experienced before in his life. All the Pokémon expedition team tossed Pikachu high into the air and made celebratory gestures.

"One, two!"

"one two three!!"

"One, two!"

"one two three!!"

"The heroes who saved the treasure continent have finally returned in triumph! Everyone, come quick!!!"

Pikachu was initially bewildered after being thrown into the air:

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey?"

"Put me down! When did I become a hero who saved the Treasure Continent?"

The voice just fell,

Then, Jigglypuff appeared with all the elders of the Jigglypuff Guild, after all, it was he who spread the news about the "Great Hero":

"It's so great that the heroes are back!"

Musical Note Parrot:

"Stop looking around."

"The heroes, of course, refer to the two of you from the Wishing Star House! Who else could it be but you and Little Fire Dragon!"

"Hey, where's that little fire dragon?"

The note parrot's quiet doubts were quickly drowned out by the sea of ​​celebration, and the sun-drenched Treasure Town was now brimming with life.

later,

Pikachu returned to the Wishing Star House alone.

Wishing Star House's reputation has reached unprecedented heights, and expeditions from all over the world consider it a must-visit destination.

After thoroughly cleaning the Wishing Well, Pikachu set off for Treasure Town again.

Through the large platform of the Jigglypuff Guild, he told the entire Treasure Continent about his adventure in the Tower of Time in the Underworld, together with Charmander and Forest Lizard.

Finally, Pikachu hopes that such a natural disaster will never happen again, and also hopes that everyone will remember Charmander and Grovyle who sacrificed themselves for it.

(One month after the return)

Pikachu is busy with SSS-rank missions every day, and a large number of Pokémon expedition teams come to visit.

On a sunny weekend,

They signed a 5-year long-term cooperation agreement with the owner of Soap Milk Fairy Restaurant.

(Three months after the return)

Three shops in Treasure Town, which had been in preparation for more than half a year, opened for business.

[Skill Connection Shop - Electabuzz] opened first, and he asked Pikachu to be the spokesperson Pokémon.

[Shaking Spot Milk Tea Shop + Little Gloom Cafe] has opened for business, and Pikachu has once again become the first person invited to try the new products.

Finally, there is the [Garagara Dojo].

The boss, Marowak, has created a new training dojo, moving 35 high-danger dungeons to Treasure Town. The structure and content of each dungeon are related to the training.

It's actually not difficult to run.

The boss of Galagal needs to conduct a lot of damage testing and is looking for the most powerful testers.

Pikachu was the first one found.

However, he was too busy and had to politely decline, recommending his two teachers, Kakachu and Akaichu, to take the test instead.

(Five months after the return)

Two pieces of good news arrived on this day!

The first is that the legendary expedition leaders, who had been traveling for more than half a year, finally returned to Treasure Town.

Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar have arranged the restoration work around the Northridge Mountains and the Three Sacred Lakes perfectly, and are heading back home.

The second is that the Soul-Hooking Eyes butler, who had been receiving treatment at the Rose Valley Medical Clinic for a long time, has recovered.

He returned to the Treasure Continent by himself in a small boat.

Finally, he quietly returned to the Wishing Star House without saying goodbye, which made Pikachu extremely excited.

(One year after the return)

Under the careful management of the bewitching butler, everything in the Wishing Star House proceeded smoothly.

I learned from the butler, Sableye, that Celebi's full awakening might have to wait a while longer.

Pikachu decided to bring Celebi to live in the Wishing House after she wakes up, so that everyone can spend some time together.

The bewitching butler agreed.

(One afternoon a year and a half after returning)

The Sly Eyes Butler was receiving the elf adventure team who had come to visit him in the Wishing Star House.

Pikachu then received a small task.

After we finish, we'll head to Treasure Town Beach.

Treasure Beach is where Charmander and Pikachu first met.

Normally, Charmander won't go there on its own, because getting close to the beach reminds it of the memories it shared with Charmander.

"There's no other way; I've already finished this little task for today anyway."

"I absolutely have to go to the beach!"

The next instant,

Pikachu, who was talking to himself, happened to run into a buck-toothed raccoon who had just finished shopping, and the two little ones almost bumped into each other!

Bucktoothed Raccoon:

"oops!!"

Pikachu:

"Hey, buck-toothed raccoon senior!!"

The buck-toothed raccoon finally snapped out of its dazed state:

"My God, it's Pikachu!"

"You know, your Wishing Star House is so famous that I have to wait in a long line just to see you. It's really not easy."

Pikachu smiled sheepishly:

"How could this happen!"

"Hehe, Bucktooth Tanuki can come whenever you want. I'll tell Butler Soul-Snatching Eyes later that Bucktooth Tanuki doesn't need to wait in line~"

The buck-toothed raccoon was equally embarrassed:

"You're all great heroes, why are you still calling me 'senior' and such?"

"I'm so embarrassed~~"

Pikachu:

"What great hero? I'm still the same Pikachu!"

In the last moment,

The buck-toothed raccoon asked with heartwarming kindness:

"So, are you getting ready to go to the beach, Pikachu?"

Pikachu nodded.

"Oh, are you sure you'll be alright going alone? I'm worried that if you go there, you'll be reminded of some sad, messy memories. How about I go with you?"

Pikachu concluded:

"Don't worry, Bucktooth Tanuki-senpai, I'll be fine~"

"I can go by myself, it's getting late~~"

"Hurry back, buck-toothed raccoon senior~~~"
