Chapter 4: Time Travel
"Celebi?" the boy asked.
"You didn't see a Pokemon there that was with us in the forest?" I asked.
"No. We didn't see anything when we found you." the girl said.
"Wait a minute, did you say that the Pokemon you saw that day in your time was a Celebi?" Towa asked me.
"Yes." I nodded. "It was being chased by a hunter and we got away from him thanks to this light. And I think it brought us here."
"Oh dear. Then that means you've befriended the spirit as The Voice of the Forest."
"Spirit? So we saved a spirit?" Akira asked.
"I'm guessing so." Donnie said.
"And that light Celebi brought on must've brought you here." Towa said.
"Yes."
"Oh my. So that means that Celebi might've used the calling of time travel."
"Time travel?!" we all said it at the same time.
Towa nodded. "We know Celebi as The Voice of the Forest... the spirit that protects it."
"They say that Celebi can travel through time. You must've been in danger... and Celebi just picked the fastest way... to get you out of it." Towa's granddaughter Diana said.
"It must've escaped to the time we're in right now... and taken you all along with it."
"So if there are no buildings here... then we're in the past!" Donnie said.
"Wait a minute, so what you're saying is that we saved a spirit of the forest that can time travel. And now we're stuck here?!" Raph exploded.
"I'm afraid so." Diana looked down.
"Ugh great. I hate time travel!"
"And to think, this is even worst than when Renet brought us back in time." Akira was crossed.
"Hey! Don't blame her! She was in trouble at the time!" Mikey protested.
"Guys, calm down." Leo said. "All I know for sure is that if Celebi is around, we have to look for it again."
"But how oh fearless leader?" Raph asked.
"Raph's right Leo, where could that Celebi have vanished off to?" Donnie asked Leo as well.
"I don't know." Leo looked down.
"Celebi lives deep in the forest... in a place we call 'The Lake of Life.' That's probably where it's gone back to now." Towa said.
"Oh dear." I looked down. I had so many questions and so many concerns. But my main concern was focused on Celebi. "I've got a feeling Celebi still may be hurt out there." I got really worried and looked back at Leo. "Honey?"
"No questions asked, I'm with you all the way." he nodded.
I sighed in relief. "Thank you. It's our responsibility to find it and protect it. It's helped us so we should help it in return."
"Good. The sooner we find this Celebi, the sooner we can go home." Akira said.
"Looks like we've got a mission. We have to go back into that forest and find Celebi." I said as I stood up.
"Can we come too?" the boy asked.
I looked at him. "Yeah you can. It's the least we can do since you've helped us." I smiled at him.
"Awesome!" he grew excited.
"My name's Brock, I'm a Pokemon breeder." the dark skinned guy introduced himself.
"And I'm Misty, my specialty is water Pokemon." the girl said as well.
"My name's Ash Ketchum and I'm trying to be a Pokemon master." the boy said. "And this is Pikachu."
"Pikachu." the creature greeted.
"Hey everyone. I'm Aquamarine. And these are my friends Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mikey, and Akira."
After we all said our introductions and greetings, we embarked on our quest to find Celebi, the Voice of the Forest spirit.
~Later on...~
As we were walking deeper and deeper into the forest, Pikachu cried out and ran ahead.
"Pikachu!" Ash called out to him.
"Maybe he's found something." Leo said. "Come on!" he said as he ran after Pikachu.
As we ran after Pikachu, he stopped and looked up. We looked up too and saw a big hill with a hollow tree at the top of it. The Pokémon was also at the top of that slope and they were surrounding something.
"Looks like they're looking at something. Should we take a look?" Ash asked me.
"Yeah." I nodded and started climbing up the steep slope.
"I'm coming too!"
"Be careful Aqua!" Leo said.
"I will hon!" I said as I started climbing up the slope with Ash.
"So Aqua, that's your special friend?" Ash asked me.
"Yeah. Leo's my soulmate. And he's the leader of our brood. I'm the co-leader. So we work together to make sure our unit is prepared for anything. Well, we weren't prepared for this type of trip."
"Looks like you all make a pretty great team."
"Thanks Ash." I said as I kept climbing. After we made it to the top, we made our way passed the Pokemon surrounding the tree and looked inside to see Celebi there still hurt.
"Whoa... so this is the Celebi?"
"Yeah. The same one." I looked down at it. "Hey little one." I spoke to Celebi softly. "I helped you before when I got you away from the Pokemon hunter. Remember?"
"Bi." the fairy looked up to me and crawled its way to me.
"It went straight to you." Ash was in awe.
"I guess it trusts me." I smiled.
"Yeah." he nodded.
"There we go." I lifted it carefully and brought it into my arms once again. "Thank goodness you're alright."
"So what should we do now?"
"I think Towa said that we have to find this lake called... The Lake of Life. Right?"
"Yeah." he nodded.
I looked down at Celebi that was in my arms. "Don't worry, you're safe with me once again Celebi. This time, I won't let anything else happen to you. I promise."
"Bi..." it nodded and closed its eyes to rest.
"Let's go."
"Right." Ash agreed.
After we made it down the slope safely. We were all running through the forest in a matter of time to find the mysterious Lake of Life.
