Elf-like Life

After saying goodbye to the buck-toothed raccoon,

Pikachu arrives at Treasure Beach alone.

The beautiful sunset reflected on the sea, and the sand beneath the little animal's feet, having absorbed the day's sunlight, became warm and cozy.

In the distance, large pincers on the rocky shore were constantly spitting out transparent bubbles of varying sizes.

With the rise and fall of the waves,

The bubbles, sparkling and rising into the air, also reflected Pikachu's little face from the side:

One,

Three pieces,

Five pieces...

【！！！】Pikachu:

"Oh, what's this!"

"The bubbles blown by the giant crabs, and the sunset over the beach, oh my god, these are...!"

"These are the scenes from when I first met Charmander, waa ...

Tears streamed down Pikachu's face.

Pikachu could no longer contain its sadness.

Tears wet the beach.

One after another!

"Waaaaah!"

"Charmander!!"

"I miss you so much, I think about you every single day, Charmander!!!!"

Because Pikachu's eyes were so blurry with tears, memories of past friendships quietly flooded back into his mind.

【Memories of Treasure Town Beach】

"You're awake~"

Ok?

"I was so worried about you lying here without moving. Are you alright?"

"Oh, by the way, who are you? I've never seen you in town before. Are you a local elf?"

Hey hey hey!

"Are you human?"

"But you look exactly like a normal little dragon, just a little strange~"

[Memories - Beside the Megalodon's Grass Mat]

"Thank you, Pikachu, you saved me!"

"That Pikachu... I don't have a home."

Hey, hey, hey, since we don't have a home, let's stay here together tonight.

"It's simple here, but there's a meteor shower outside the window!"

"Little Charmander, do you know?"

"From the moment I saw you on the beach, I knew you were the best friend I was destined to meet!"

"And you promised me we'd form an expedition team!"

"I've heard that you can make a wish when you look at a shooting star."

"Hey, little dragon, what should we name our expedition team?"

【Memories of the Grand Library】

"Little Charmander, it looks like we're going to have to go home empty-handed this time."

"Hey, since it's paid reading..."

"Investigating your background requires contribution points, so why don't we learn more about the Fat Koding Guild together?"

[Memories of the Wigglypuff Guild: Embarking on a New Quest]

After a leap of faith, the lobster soldier plunges off the cliff into the waterfall!

"Lobster Soldier!!!"

"Don't rush, Pikachu~"

"Goblin Squad emphasizes the special act of time travel, so why don't we all jump off the cliff together? Come on, Pikachu, let's have some fun!!"

"Hey, are we really going to jump?"

[Memories of the Wigglypuff Guild - Departure]

"Listen, you two have to work hard for me from now on."

"Did you understand?"

"Stop dreaming, you capitalist bird! Pikachu and I will never do that, because we've already completed all our trials!"

"Say it again, what did you just call me?"

"Capital Bird!"

"We're leaving the Jigglypuff Guild!!"

【Memories of the Wishing Star House: Its Initial Construction】

"Little Charmander, is this 'Wishing Star House' sign tall enough?"

"We've cleaned the house thoroughly too~~"

"The first guest has arrived! Charmander, what are you still daydreaming about?!"

With a thud, the door swung open.

"Excuse me, can this place called 'Wishing Star House' really help me make my wishes come true?"

"Oh, of course~~"

"So, my wish is..."

"—Become a butler."

[Memories of the Joint Selection]

Selection criteria: SSSSS-level mission in the Earth Dragon's Lair

"Yes, little dragon!"

"You've been emphasizing the seriousness of the chaotic world lines, haven't you? We absolutely can't sit idly by; this is what our Wishing Star House should do!"

"And that phantom thief called the Forest Lizard, we must stop him!!"

"I understand, Pikachu."

"But I'm still worried about you."

"Because your opponent is Garchomp, you should understand the significance of a pledge of allegiance!"

【Memories of the Joint Expedition: The Temple of the North Ridge】

! ! ! ! !

"If we cannot suppress the [space-time distortion], we will all perish here!!!"

"Holy Pillar King, we're here to help you!"

"Right, Pikachu? Everyone agrees!"

"Yes, we were also thinking of fighting against the spacetime distortion together with you!!"

【Memories of the Night Demon and an Encounter on the Beach】

!

"Why did you suddenly appear, and why are you sneaking around behind me and Pikachu?!"

"Please don't misunderstand,"

"I just happened to be taking a walk on the beach when I unexpectedly ran into two heroes who are fighting against the distortion of time and space..."

Pikachu immediately came to the rescue:

"The Night Demon Sage simply said that it was a coincidence that everyone was enjoying the beautiful sunrise together~~"

【Memories, Underworld, Time Corridor】

"Hmph, no matter what, I successfully activated the spacetime corridor. Your surprise attack failed, Night Demon!"

"I'm out of here, Night Demon!"

"That's right, that damned Night Demon, you'll get your comeuppance! We're heading back now~"

Snap!

[Memories, Return to the Underworld, The Forest Lizard's Farewell]

"Woo-woo, forest lizard—"

"Pikachu, now is not the time to cry!"

"We don't have time to cry here! The Forest Lizard can never return to this world. Have you forgotten its dying words, Pikachu!"

【Memories: Tower of Time】

"Only 10 or so floors left, Pikachu~"

"Are we confident that we can climb to the 100th floor in one go?"

【Memories: Tower of Time - The Great Battle】

"Pikachu, throw me the seed!!!"

【Memories, Tower of Time, Farewell】

"Of course, meeting Pikachu is the greatest happiness of my life..."

All memories have come to an end.

Pikachu was so heartbroken that it couldn't stand up again, and collapsed onto the beach, crying as it did so.

"Waaaaaah!"

"Little Charmander!"

"We clearly promised that we wouldn't separate, we clearly promised that no one could leave the team, Little Charmander!!!"

5 seconds

10 seconds

30 seconds...

Although only 30 seconds have passed in Treasure Land, the time in the Tower of Time is quite different.

Dialga had long heard the countless sorrowful calls from Pikachu's heart.

He also made a decision after that incident:

"The future will change, and change will disappear."

"But as the god of time, I still have the power to alter time."

"Hey, Pikachu, since you still can't shake off that sadness, why don't I help you get rid of it!"

"Are you ready to embrace a brand new world?"

"----future!"

hour--

null--

roar--

Howl—

Roaring sounds

Dialga's Time Roar echoed through the sky.

All the incredible things then happened!

2,

1. A miracle has occurred!!!

Right in front of Pikachu, who was crying uncontrollably, a ball of revival light gradually condensed into the shape of Charmander!

A bright orange belly!

A bright red little tail!!

Strong and powerful little animal claws!!!

And that incredibly warm hug!!!

Charmander:

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Pikachu~"

【Snapped】!

A resounding slap landed on Charmander's face, and Pikachu's tears were mixed with boundless temper:

"Silly little Charmander!"

"Charmander is an idiot, an idiot, an idiot!!"

"You big idiot!!!"

The End.
