Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

Xiaozhi and his group, who were heading to Binhai City, the location of the next gym, encountered an emergency during their journey...

The light stone on Xiaozhi's right hand was shining wildly, and it was guiding Xiaozhi to a certain place in the dark...

"Xiaozhi, why is the Light Stone in your hand flashing non-stop?" Xiaogang asked in confusion.

"I don't know either, but I can feel that the Light Stone seems to want to guide me somewhere." Xiaozhi said uncertainly.

"In that case, let's follow the guidance of the Light Stone. Maybe we can solve the puzzle when we reach our destination." Xiaogang suggested.

"Hmm~" Xiaozhi nodded heavily, then followed the guidance of the Light Stone and ran towards a small town.

.........

The main area of ​​Baiyang Town is located on a plateau in the center of the lake. There is a bridge connecting the plateau and the mainland. The town is surrounded by wooded hills and plateaus. In the center of Baiyang Town, there is a Time and Space Tower, which is the largest musical instrument and venue in the town. There is a courtyard behind the Time and Space Tower, where various Pokémon live...

Today, Baiyang Town has become a ruin, and even the Time and Space Tower in the center of Baiyang Town has not been spared...

"What on earth happened here? Why did Baiyang Town become like this?" Xiaogang looked at the ruins in front of him in surprise.

"It's the Dark Messenger's doing!" Xiaozhi frowned as he looked at the dark aura floating in the air above the ruins.

"The Dark Messenger? Are you saying that it was the Dark Messenger who destroyed this town?" Xiaoxia asked.

"Yeah~ There's still a lingering dark aura in the air." Xiaozhi nodded and replied.

"But why did the Dark Messenger want to destroy Baiyang Town?" Xiaogang was very confused about this.

"That's because the Dark Messenger wanted to capture Dialga and Palkia, and the destruction of Poplar Town was only caused by the aftermath of the battle." A black figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Darkrai?!" Xiaogang recognized the identity of the Pokémon in front of him.

"It's me." Darkrai nodded.

"Darkrai, you're badly injured." Xiaozhi hurried to Darkrai and wanted to heal it with the power of light.

Seeing this, Darkrai hurriedly distanced himself from Xiaozhi, shook his head and said, "I'm not in the way, but you can't waste the power of light on me, because there is something you need to do, and the power of light is an indispensable force."

"Even if the next thing requires the power of light, it won't prevent me from using the power of light to heal you, right? With my current ability, it won't consume much physical energy even if I treat you. Even if I do consume physical energy, you will recover after a good sleep." Xiaozhi was a little confused.

"Because the next matter is very urgent, there is no time for you to recover the power of light." Darkrai replied.

"Could it be that Dialga and Palkia were invaded by the dark aura?" Xiaozhi made some guesses based on Darkrai's words.

"That's right. Half a month ago, the Dark Messenger came here. Because of the dark aura, the moment he stepped into Baiyang Town, Dialga and Palkia appeared in the Tower of Time and Space, wanting to annihilate the Dark Messenger in one fell swoop."

"But what is unexpected is that... the Dark Messenger used the Dark Demon Seed to completely demonize Lugia and control it to fight Dialga and Palkia."

"This battle lasted for seven days and seven nights, but during the battle, Dialga and Palkia were contaminated by the dark demon species." Darkrai replied.

"What is the dark demon species? It can actually contaminate Dialga and Palkia." Xiaoxia asked puzzledly.

"Dark Demon Seed is formed by the power of darkness and the power of Dark Arceus. Pokémon contaminated by Dark Demon Seed can be controlled by the manipulator." Xiaozhi explained.

"Ah? Is the power of darkness so buggy? Is there no way to purify the pollution?" Xiaoxia asked.

"Yes, I can use my power of light to completely purify the pollution of the dark demon species, but the premise is... that it has not been completely contaminated by the dark demon species. If it has been completely contaminated by the dark demon species, even the power of light cannot completely eliminate it." Xiaozhi answered.

"Because the Pokémon that has been completely contaminated by the Dark Species has become a new species of Pokémon. This is one of the abilities of Dark Arceus, Dark Invasion. Because its body is suppressed in the Flame Mountains, it can only use the power of darkness to condense the Dark Species to contaminate Pokémon." Darkrai added.

"So Xiaozhi needs to use the power of light to eliminate the dark power from Dialga and Palkia?" Xiaogang asked.

"That's right~" Darkrai nodded.

"Where are Dialga and Palkia now?" asked Xiaozhi.

"At the moment when the power of darkness eroded Dialga's mind, he used the power of time to send Palkia to the Johto region 15 years later, while he himself went to the ancient Sinnoh region, which is the Chrysanthemum Region." Darkrai replied.

"So if we want to save Dialga and Palkia, we have to go to 15 years later and the Washiu area?" Xiaogang asked.

"That's right~ But you need to pay attention... Dark Messenger and Dark Lugia also went to 15 years later. You might meet Dark Messenger after you go to the future." Darkrai reminded.

"Don't worry~ I'll pay attention, but how do I get to 15 years later and the Xi Cui area?" Xiaozhi asked.

"I will use the power of time given to me by Dialga to send you back to 15 years ago. After you have resolved the matter, I will naturally send you to the Washicui area." Darkrai replied.

"I understand~ Darkrai, please help me teleport to 15 years later. I will do my best to save Palkia." Xiaozhi said seriously.

"But before you go to the future, leave your Poké Ball behind. After all, the same Pokémon cannot appear at the same time, so except for Pikachu, other Pokémon cannot go to 15 years later." Darkrai said.

"If the same Pokémon cannot appear at the same time, doesn't that mean that Ash and Pikachu will no longer exist 15 years later?" Brock asked.

"After using the power of time to investigate, I found that Ash and Pikachu no longer exist 15 years later. As for why they don't exist 15 years later, I don't know." Darkrai replied.

"But Ash doesn't have the help of Pokémon. It will be difficult to defeat Dark Lugia with just Pikachu. He might even have to face Dark Palkia." Brock interrupted.

"Although Ash cannot bring Pokémon to the future, he can seek help from Ash's Pokémon in the future. After all, they are always your Pokémon. What's more, the Pokémon that have experienced the Yin-Yang War are not comparable to the current ones." Darkrai said.
