Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Aislo and Mary looked at the contents on the stone tablet for a long time in silence, and inexplicable sadness crept into their hearts.

Just as Mingyao said, the two siblings are like kites with broken strings, leaving their family and returning to the past thousands of years ago. Perhaps only they themselves understand the feeling and sadness in it. The longing and desolation revealed between the lines cannot be hidden no matter how hard they try.

[Cuilai... Sinnoh a thousand years ago?] Darkrai understood. Although he had not personally experienced that era, he had heard from some old antiques who had lived a long time that a pair of brothers and sisters had appeared on the land still called Cuilai. They proved the courage and glory of mankind to the gods, so they seemed to have been called the second generation of "heroes".

As for now... this pair of siblings may have already turned into dust and wandered around the world, or maybe they are something else, who knows.

Aislo walked forward and looked at the stone tablet carefully, as if he was looking for something. Just when Mary wanted to ask in confusion, Aislo raised his head and said, "They entrusted us to find their families, but why didn't they leave any information about the era they lived in before they traveled through time?"

"......?" Mary paused when she heard this question, "Did you forget?"

“? Not really?” Aislo turned his head again and looked at the stone tablet carefully. Suddenly, the boy noticed a small stone placed in the corner of the stone tablet, which looked like it could be picked up.

Aislo picked up the stone without hesitation, and sure enough, there were words engraved on it. But unfortunately, this stone looked like it was created in the past hundred years, and the words on it were different from those on Mingyao and Xiaozhao.

[Pay the highest respect to the glory of mankind——AZ stay]

"AZ?" Aislo was stunned. Is there someone who arrived before them?

But Mary's focus was different. The girl looked at the stone and compared it with the depression on the rock wall at the entrance of the stone chamber. Sure enough, the stone was picked out from the rock wall.

"Darkrai, do you know him?" Eslo chose to ask for help from Darkrai who was floating beside him, and ignored the sound of Yveltal's dry cough.

[……] Darkrai fell silent. How could a otaku like him know these people?

【Cough, cough!】 Yveltal coughed even louder.

"Well, great Lord Yveltal, can you tell me who AZ is?" asked Eslo.

[Hehe~] Yveltal smiled first, then said simply: [This name sounds familiar, but I forgot it.]

"..." Aislo closed his mouth.

[AZ?] A familiar voice sounded at this time. The Flower Rock Monster came behind Eslo without knowing when, and the ghost face that had just condensed slowly dissipated.

"Granny Gengar, do you know her?" Aislo's eyes lit up, but he didn't even bother to look at the ghost face that said that in smoke.

[Hiss, sounds familiar.] The big face of the flower monster began to turn, and she began to search through her long memories, [Hmm... a thousand years ago, Carlos... oh, that old Deng!]

The face of the flower monster stopped spinning, because a figure that she loved and hated appeared in her mind again - the overly strong flower stalk holding a black flower... that is, the eternal flower. (For details, see Chapter 61, the confession of the flower monster)

"Do you remember anything?" Mary asked.

[Well... this story started from the Kalos War 3000 years ago.] The Flower Rock Monster began to recall his chat with the Eternal Flower.

[Karos War?] Yveltal murmured in his heart. In the original universe, He seemed to be still asleep during that time, but not long after, He was awakened by a terrifying attack and the death of a large number of creatures.

"Is it about the 'Ruined King'?" Mary also recalled the contents of the Alliance textbooks. As for the "Ruined King", it was the nickname given to King Carlos by many students. The records of this period of history in the history books are extremely vague, and most of them are circulated in the form of fairy tales. No one knows where the legendary weapon that ended the war is now.

[Yes, the war killed the elves that the king loved deeply, and the king created a machine to revive his beloved elves in the face of almost the entire world. The machine absorbed the lives of countless elves, and then, the Eternal Flower, that is, our teacher, was reborn.] Flower Rock Monster paused. Although she didn't want to admit it, no matter how you look at it, the Eternal Flower was her teacher. [But the suffering along the way made the king fall into endless anger. He couldn't forgive this world, couldn't forgive this world that killed his beloved, so the ultimate weapon was born.]

[The horrific attack nearly smashed the Kalos region to pieces, and along with the death of a large number of lives, the decades-long war finally came to an end.] The Flower Rock Monster told everything, [But after learning all this, our teacher finally chose to leave her beloved, and the king who had lost everything also embarked on the road of pursuit. She once told me that the king was called AZ.]

"What a long story... a 3000-year-long pursuit." Aislo looked at the stone in his hand again. Perhaps the king's footprints have spread all over the world.

[Hehe, okay, okay, the story ends here. We should go back, or else those little guys will get anxious waiting.] Hua Yanguai smiled kindly and watched Aisiluo and Mali go back first.

[Hey, Darkrai, what happened while I was away?] The Flower Rock Monster asked curiously.

[I don't know.] Darkrai said calmly.

[Huh? Haven't you always been by Xiao Luo's side?] Hua Yan was puzzled.

[I fell asleep.] Darkrai replied coldly and returned to Eslo's shadow.

[Hey!] Huayanguai froze there, instantly feeling like he had lost 100 million, and then quickly dived into the shadows.

Before leaving, Aislo suddenly turned back and looked at the stone tablet in confusion.

"Aluo, what's wrong?" Mary gently stroked the boy's back.

"Oh, nothing, let's go." After Aislo smiled back, the two left.

-------------------

And a thousand years ago, in an almost identical stone chamber, a young man and a young girl were standing in front of a huge empty stone tablet.

Mingyao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and complained in confusion: "My dear sister, can you tell me why a stone chamber has to be built so deep?"

Mingyao looked back at the tunnel that seemed to have almost no end, and Garchomp beside him put his hands on his hips angrily. He was the biggest victim when this tunnel was built. Look at Smelly and Windy, they just play around and only know how to play!

Land Shark: Why can't I play?!

"Eh? Don't you think this is interesting? For example, a group of explorers come here full of curiosity, but in the end they find that there is no treasure here, but a stone tablet with words engraved on it. Isn't this very interesting?" Xiaozhao showed a sly and cute smile, which was the bad taste of a young girl.

"You're playing a prank again." Mingyao smiled helplessly, but who can blame her for being his sister? "Although I like her very much, don't we have to ask the people in the future to do something for us? If we do this, will they not help us?"

"Hehe, I knew that you would agree with me, brother!" The girl put her hands on her hips, completely ignoring the second half of the sentence.

"Okay, okay, what should we carve now?" Mingyao asked.

"Why don't you say hello first?"

"it is good."

"Then let me introduce myself...Brother, how do you think I should write it?"

"…Let's just say we are travelers who have lost their hometown."

"What? Why are you so negative? Cross it out, cross it out."

"So how are you going to write it?"

"Of course, I'll give a perfect self-introduction."

"Okay, okay, let's do it this way."

"Then we will return on a colorful cloud..."

"Huh? That's a bit far-fetched."

"Brother, please stop looking so excited all the time."

"There are some disagreements. Why don't we split the stone tablet in the middle and have each of us write on one side?"

"Yeah!"

……

"Hey! You idiot brother, you didn't even want to mention my name in your self-introduction!"

"But haven't you already written it?"

"what the hell……"

"Eh~ Why write something so corny? Although it is indeed a very lucky thing to have me by your side..."

"Huh? I just ran out of words."

"Brother, what you said was called tsundere in the internet language before~"

"Whatever you say."

"Hey, brother, you said we would see dad again... Hey, what are you writing?! Are you tired of living, aren't you!!!"

"I'm just telling the truth. I'm really suggesting..."

"Alureduo!"

"Why do you still have elves around?"

Not long after, Mingyao came back with a bruised face.

……

"Hey, you dare to write!" Xiaozhao quickly drew a few strokes and then pounced on him.

Aledo and the Electric Beast that appeared out of nowhere looked at each other, and the two elves smiled helplessly and added the last sentence under the stone tablet.

While in the tunnel, the fight between Flamehorn and Arcanine (Xicui) caused the surrounding cave walls to be charred black, and the flames fell on Big Alan's head, making Big Alan move away from the two Pokémons with a frown on his face.

But at this moment, a fierce fireball hit the cave entrance, where Miss Skirt and Sticky Dragon were walking slowly while talking. They were holding fruits in their arms, which were used to reward Lie Biting Land Shark and Yueyue Bear.

The ferocious fireball struck, and the two elves holding the fruit were unable to free their hands for a moment, fearing that their careless attacks would destroy the newly repaired tunnel.

The next moment, a stream of water came, and the fireball dissipated in the grateful eyes of Flamehorn and Arcane. The two Pokémon turned their heads and were greeted with the cold gazes of Greatsword (Xicui) and Infernape (Xicui).

In the end, it was the little angel Tokikiss who resolved the deadlock, and everything was so beautiful.

Finally, the boy, the girl and 12 elves gathered in the stone chamber, and they all left their traces on the stone tablet.

"Brother." Xiaozhao put his hands in his pockets, "Do you think anyone will come here?"

"Yes...I definitely will." Mingyao answered his sister's question while recalling the good memories of his parents in the past.

"...Ha." Xiaozhao suddenly laughed for no apparent reason. If you ignore the tears in the corners of her eyes, "Anyway, we will turn into pink or gray by then, so it doesn't matter anyway..."

"Do you regret it?" Mingyao asked.

The tacit understanding over the years naturally made Xiao Zhao understand what Mingyao was asking, which was nothing more than whether he regretted the decision he had made in the past - go home or the world would be destroyed.

"Regret? How is that possible?" Xiaozhao shook his head, "Aren't you the same?"

After saying that, Xiaozhao left.

"..."

"Yeah, isn't it the same for me?" Mingyao smiled helplessly. That was the decision they made together, and it was also the decision they would never regret in their life.

Suddenly, Mingyao turned his head and looked in the direction of the tunnel. His gaze seemed to travel through time as he looked into the distance at Aislo.

"Ha, were we really dead at that time? Who knows..."

The stone chamber fell silent again.

"tick"

The teardrop fell to the ground and shattered.

As a brother, you can't cry in front of your sister, right?

-------------------

ps: Mingyao and Xiaozhao are the male and female protagonists of "Legend of Arceus". Since I didn’t know which one to choose to write about, I just wrote them both as brother and sister.

Oh yes, as mentioned in the article, the siblings are the second generation of “heroes”, so you can guess which ones the first generation is.
