I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Celebi stared at his hands.

It... wants to hold that hand.

"Compare!"

Celebi raised his arm with all his strength, even though such a small movement would use up all his strength.

Getting closer...

That light melted the darkness surrounding Celebi.

Getting closer...

That light dispelled the darkness that bound Celebi.

Getting closer...

That light illuminated Celebi's eyes.

Despair and sadness no longer exist in those beautiful eyes.

Gazing at the light so close to him, at those black eyes, a new light shone in Celebi's beautiful blue eyes.

It is at this moment that light illuminates this dark world.

Cold and sticky.

These unpleasant feelings receded like the tide.

Warm and relaxing.

The heartwarming feeling enveloped Celebi's heart like a flame.

"Compare......"

Celebi raised his hand.

seem......

It's time to move...

The heavy shackles and chains that bound Celebi's consciousness and prevented it from controlling its own body disappeared without a trace.

The fuzzy consciousness became clear at this moment.

The dusty heart is cleansed at this moment, as pure as ever.

Celebi's spiritual world finally returned to its original state.

"Compare......"

Celebi looked up at the man who had saved him from despair.

Its small hand tightly grasped the big hand that reached out to it in the darkness.

Such warmth, such spaciousness, and full of security.

"Compare......"

Celebi smiled happily.

It lowered its cute little head, placed it on the back of the man's hand, and rubbed it gently.

Thank you......

"All right."

The light gradually moved away.

"Compare?"

Celebi was a little reluctant, so she stretched out her little hand and tried to hold his hand.

That ray of light was a joyful smile.

"Don't be sad, we'll see you outside later, Celebi."

"Compare!"

Celebi nodded.

Then, the spiritual world slowly dissipated.

......

"what!"

Aisha opened her eyes.

He disconnected his mental power from Celebi and left Celebi's mental world.

But, it succeeded.

It has been successful.

Aisha successfully awakened Celebi's consciousness.

"How about it?"

The concerned voice of the Phoenix King lingered in Aisha's ears.

With its strength, it is actually fully capable of sensing changes in Celebi's situation.

Being able to ask so anxiously, it can be seen that the totem god of the Johto region is really concerned and cares about Celebi very much.

"Success."

Aisha responded to Ho-Oh while looking up in the direction of Celebi.

I saw that the black airflow lingering around Celebi had disappeared without a trace.

Although his appearance has not changed, Celebi now looks much kinder and cuter than before.

"Compare......"

Celebi opened his eyes slightly, looking weak.

Its beautiful blue eyes were like a pool of autumn water rippling in the wind.

A feeling of weakness came over me...

Just as I said before, without the forest, the forest god naturally has no meaning of existence.

The tung tree forest had been riddled with holes and reduced to ashes by Celebi's irrational and reckless destruction.

Celebi, whose life is closely related to the forest, is now suffering the backlash of the destruction.

"Compare......"

Celebi's cry was as soft as a mosquito's. The strength left in his body was no longer enough to make him laugh as brightly as before.

A feeling of weakness swept over him, and powerlessness invaded his limbs and torso like a tarsal ulcer, followed by a sudden burst of tingling pain.

Celebi couldn't even maintain the output of his superpowers that allowed his body to float in the air.

Its rapidly withering body fell powerlessly from the air like a dead leaf in autumn and hit the ground.

"Celebi!"

Aisha became anxious when she noticed Celebi's abnormality at the first moment.

He kicked with his foot, and the huge force created a hole in the ground. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot and shot towards Celebi.

With a "swish", Aisha's body was covered by a purple light - that was teleportation!

When he appeared again, he was already standing in the air, hugging Celebi who was falling to the ground.

"Celebi?"

With gentle movements, fearing to hurt the being in her arms, Aisha called Celebi's name in a soft voice.

"Compare......"

Celebi opened his eyes with difficulty.

It lay in Aisha's arms, its blue eyes as beautiful as ever, but now they were like broken sapphires, filled with sadness.

"Compare......"

Celebi turned his head with an effort, staring at the devastated forest, his eyes filled with glittering mist.

sorry......

I did something that hurt the forest and hurt everyone...

"Bang!" Aisha fell to the ground.

He stood up holding Celebi.

Celebi's gaze turned to his face at this moment.

familiar......

A familiar scent.

The warmth of the embrace also makes it feel completely safe.

At this moment, Aisha was not shining like she was in Celebi's spiritual world.

But Celebi recognized him at a glance as the hero who saved him from despair.

"Compare......"

With a weak smile, Celebi raised his hand with great effort and touched Aisha's cheek.

Then, the light in its eyes disappeared, and its slender little hands dropped weakly.

"Crack, click."

A sound like dead wood cracking came from Celebi's body.

Its body, which was as tender green as new buds in early spring, gradually withered like a dying flower.

The vigorous vitality flowed out from it along with the devastation of the forest and slowly dissipated.

"Celebi!"

"Ah... Celebi!"

Xiaozhi and the young man also ran over from behind.

The two of them stood on Aisha's left and right, and also saw Celebi withering and losing his vitality in Aisha's arms.

"How...how could this happen?"

"hateful!"

Sad expressions appeared on the faces of the two children.

Xiaozhi clenched his fists, looking incredulous.

The young man looked dazed, as if he couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes.

"Pickup..."

Pikachu hung its tail, looking listless.

It lived with Celebi a few days ago and still remembers clearly every detail of their fights and quarrels.

Even though they didn't spend much time together, Celebi's pure smile and cute actions were very touching.

The kind-hearted Pikachu has already regarded it as his good friend.

Now, after witnessing with his own eyes that his good friend was forced to do things he didn't want to do and then died unjustly, one can imagine how sad Pikachu must be.

"what......"

The three people who were chasing after them were also at a loss as to what to do when they stood there.

"It hurts so much, meow..."

Just as Meow Meow was afraid of the runaway Celebi just now, now it feels so much sympathy and pity for Celebi who is lying lifeless in Aisha's arms.

"Why did this happen..."

Musashi also had a look of sadness on his face.

"Tsk!"
