Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

"Where is this place?"

In the misty white fog, a sturdy young man was muttering, and the Pikachu that had been lying on his shoulder was looking around with a confused look on his face.

The young man's name was Yalu. In his memory, he and his companions had just seen a very desolate-looking town not long ago. From a distance, they could see a lot of smoke rising from cooking fires. That was why the man and the elf wanted to come and find a home or a tavern to rest for a while.

But when Yaru just took the first step into the town, before he had time to greet the townspeople who came to greet him, everything went dark in front of his and Pikachu's eyes. When they regained consciousness, they were surrounded by white fog. Through the fog, they could vaguely see many strange-style buildings around them.

"Pika..." Pikachu's ears drooped slightly and a look of uneasiness appeared on his face.

There were clearly many buildings on both sides of the street, which looked extremely prosperous, but for some reason there was not a single human figure. Coupled with the eerie pure white sky and looming fog, this place really looked like a ghost town, which was disturbing.

Could it be that he accidentally stepped into the border between the human world and the underworld? Pikachu frowned, but soon dismissed the idea. If that was the case, there should be spirits like Crystal Lamp Spirit and Night Demon Spirit appearing.

"Pika!" Pikachu seemed to suddenly think of something and turned his head to look at his companion beside him.

[Why do I feel like this is a bit like the time we had in Suiyi Town not long ago…] A voice that was both childish and mature rang in Yaru's heart, but Yaru looked around as if he was already used to it and chuckled, "You know what, it really is quite similar."

A man and an elf had stayed in Suiyi Town not long ago, and the reason was naturally to seal a flower rock monster that was acting arrogantly there.

That flower rock monster caused them a lot of trouble. The terrible destruction and illusions put them in a tough battle. It was only thanks to the fact that they all possessed the power of waves and were the messengers of waves that they finally managed to win and seal the evil elf there.

"Could it be that some evil spirit is causing trouble again?" Yalu had some guesses in his mind, but the next moment, he and Pikachu raised their heads almost at the same time, and a blue light flashed in their eyes.

"Someone is coming... a very good wave guide." Yaru's tense face soon relaxed. It seemed that the other party was also a wave guide messenger. It would be easy to deal with if there was someone here.

……

On the other side, Aislo and Mari walked out of the Pokémon Center door together and walked towards the figure.

In addition to the small buildings the two had seen before, there were many more quaint cottages on both sides of the streets. However, for some reason, no one came out of those newly appeared cottages.

Back to the topic, the misty white fog naturally could not block Eslo's keen vision, which allowed him to easily see the man's appearance. He was tall and strong, and looked like he exercised regularly. He also wore a hat similar to the one Yaxuan wore on his head. He had gray eyes and black hair, and a handsome face. There was a faint resemblance between his eyebrows to Yaxuan.

The Pikachu on that person's shoulder didn't seem to have a lively personality, forming a sharp contrast with Xiaozhi's Pikachu.

It is worth mentioning that Aislo felt a strong wave power from both that person and Pikachu... Wait, a Pikachu with the power of wave power?

After a moment of astonishment, Aislo reacted quickly and his slightly widened eyes returned to normal. After all, everything in the world has waves, and it is not impossible for a Pikachu to control the wave power in its body. Anyway, even the King of Leave has the ability to overcome his own characteristics, right?

At the same time, this also made Aislo feel relieved. After all, most people or elves who possess the power of waves are just in their hearts. In short, they are not bad people.

"Hey! Hello!"

A hearty voice was heard, and Eslo and Mary, who were approaching, also saw the hearty smile.

"You two, my name is Yalu, and he is my partner, Pikachu. We are wave messengers traveling here. May I ask what happened here?" Yalu smiled and waved his hand, while also asking his own question. The Pikachu on his shoulder let out a cry of joy.

"Hello, my name is Aislo, and the one next to me is Mary." Aislo nodded in response, and at the same time, a strange sense of déjà vu arose in his heart.

Is this... Xiaozhi wearing a black skin?

"Nice to meet you..." Mary nodded slightly, and then after a brief pause, she briefly described the current situation in Yuanzhi Town.

[Timelines overlap?] Pikachu's eyes widened, and the voice that echoed in everyone's hearts also reflected his identity as a wave guide.

"So have we come to the past or the future?" Yaru looked around at the extremely advanced buildings, not knowing whether it was future technology or a developed super ancient civilization.

[No, to be precise, the interweaving of the past and the future has put us in an independent space and time, which is both the "present" and the "future."] Darkrai slowly emerged from the shadows.

"The legendary guardian of dreams?" Al and Pikachu looked surprised.

Hearing the familiar name, Darkrai was a little stunned. It had been a long time since anyone called him, or his people, like this.

At this time, Aislo, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "Yaru, can you tell me an important event that happened in your time? I want to confirm the time."

As for why it wasn't Aislo who spoke first, it was because the boy noticed that Yaru's robe looked very ancient in style, and it was more likely that the other party lived before the two of them.

"Big news?" Yalu came back to his senses and scratched his head, then lowered his head to ponder. Soon, he raised his head again and said, "I remember that about two hundred years ago, two towers seemed to be built in Chengdu. It is still quite lively there. It seems to be called the Bell Tower or the Clock Tower? Do you know about this?"

As the home of two legends, this is also the biggest thing that Yaru can think of recently.

"The Bell Tower and the Clock Tower?" Mary had an impression. "It has been about 700 years since these two towers were built. It is still a very popular tourist attraction."

"Seven hundred years?" Yaru opened his mouth in shock. "Can it stand for seven hundred years without falling? Very good! Pikachu, how about we go and see it later?"

"Pickup!"

"Actually..." Mary was about to speak, but after looking at Eslo, she did not tell the rest of the information. As early as 150 years ago, the Bell Tower had been burned down and renamed the Burnt Tower.

But this matter has nothing to do with Yaru and the others 500 years ago, so there is no need to talk about such a regrettable thing and add to their troubles.
