I'm a Blastoise.
Having lived on Turtle Island since I was a child, I had never seen a human being before my final evolution.
Until one day, humans landed on our island, bringing us delicious fruits, sweet dew, and even cured the old leader of the Water Arrow Turtle who had been suffering from a long illness.
We are full of gratitude to this group of kind-hearted human beings, but we want to repay but have no idea how to do it.
It wasn't until the human leader expressed that he wanted to borrow some of the power of the mature Blastoise that I stepped forward without hesitation.
Because the old patriarch is my grandmother, I think I should take the lead and stand up.
Finally, I boarded their dock with 12 Blastoise tribesmen and never came back...
Along the way, they were still very kind to us, serving us delicious food and drinks, but they had to be tested from time to time, ranging from physical data to combat prowess, from skill mastery to relationship genealogy.
They said this would better distribute our tasks so we could better help them.
We agreed, and I was the most active one, taking the lead in completing all the tests, and even took the initiative to reassure the doubtful tribesmen.
After an unknown amount of time, we got off the boat and were taken into the cave which was even brighter than during the day.
We were surprised to see it, and there was also a trace of anxiety in our hearts due to the unfamiliarity.
The human leader comforted us and treated us to a feast that was even more delicious than before.
The meal was so delicious that we refused to stop until we fell asleep.
But later I found out that a large amount of sleeping potion had been put into the food, and no water arrow turtle could survive unharmed after eating it.
When we woke up again, we were put into a golden, sticky liquid.
I wanted to struggle, but I saw the human leader again.
He told me not to worry, they were just asking us to help.
I looked around, but I couldn't find any of my own people. I couldn't even turn over in the small transparent container.
Then I discovered that a large number of steel needles were inserted into my tortoise shell, which kept stinging my body as I struggled.
I shouted loudly, but what I received was the human leader's cold expression. After he said his last words to me, I never saw him again.
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine, let's do it!"
The next second, a strong numbness spread from my tortoise shell and soon spread throughout my body.
I slowly closed my eyes, and before I lost consciousness, what I saw was the back of the human leader turning away.
At this point, I became confused, my whole body was limp, and the thin transparent cover became an eternal prison that imprisoned me.
I miss my people, I miss Turtle Island where I grew up, and even more so my grandma, the clan leader on the island.
But I think I can only think about it in the future.
Gradually, there were many neighbors around me. Like me, they were all adults in the clan who had evolved to their final form.
Between waking and sleeping, we could occasionally say a few words briefly.
After talking with him, I gradually learned about this human leader and what this group of people did.
They are the ancient Vajra team, who have been pursuing the footsteps of Dialga, the God of Time, for all their lives, and are loyal believers of the god.
But as time goes by, the faith in their hearts has already deteriorated, and the pursuit of power and control of power have become their obsession.
And the half diamond orb left behind has become a tool for their pursuit of power.
And we are the power they pursue!
This is exactly the case. Every once in a while, I can feel that I have learned new things inexplicably. Some of these things make me painful, some make me addicted, and some make me irritable...
But no matter what, the body can't use it, it just stays inside, and it becomes a part of myself as long as it is held in.
It wasn't until a long time after I saw no new changes that I, like other neighbors, saw half of the charming diamond orb.
The silver light was like a brilliant Milky Way, shining on my body.
But what followed was a strong squeezing feeling. This silver light seemed to be squeezing me into a ball, constantly tearing my body apart.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Obviously my perception has deteriorated a lot, but I was still in so much pain that I couldn't even scream in front of the silver light.
I don't know when the silver light disappeared. I only know that I started to wake up and faint again.
After I regained some consciousness and was able to control my body a little.
Through the reflection of the transparent cover, I saw my new... no, my former self.
I became a Cammy Turtle!
…
After the dream screening ended, Mingzheng silently reversed Squirtle's dream so that all he dreamed about were the moments after his rebirth.
Fortunately, since Ming Zheng was born, Ming Zheng has been taking care of Squirtle very attentively, not to mention how competent he has been as a dad.
So Squirtle's dreams have become much warmer and more peaceful.
Then, Ming was silent for a long time in the dream world, and then he recovered from Squirtle's past life experience.
He voluntarily exited the dream world and soon woke up in the real world.
Squirtle was still dreaming, the tears in the corners of his eyes and the smile on his lips made him look even more pitiful.
Mingzheng held it gently in his arms, and could only use this to give Squirtle as much strength as possible.
But it was daytime after all, and it didn't take long for Squirtle to wake up.
As soon as he woke up, Squirtle immediately looked at Mingzheng, as if he was trying to prove something.
Mingzheng nodded slightly and touched the little guy's head.
"Well, I saw it all."
"Jenny..."
"Those things have passed. From now on, you will be my Mingzheng partner and the partner of all of us.
Of course, if you want to go back to Turtle Island, I can also take you back to see Grandma You. "
"Jenny?!"
Squirtle immediately grasped Mingzheng's collar tightly, tears about to flow out of the corners of his eyes again.
"Stop crying. Think about it, you were once a handsome and strong Blastoise. Have you really become a baby?"
Squirtle's face suddenly turned red, and he felt a little restless even lying in Ming Zheng's arms.
"It's good that it's a baby. This way you won't miss your childhood, and we will accompany you to grow up again!"
Gala Gala and the others, although they didn’t know what Ming Zheng saw in the dream world, they all responded when they heard this.
Squirtle, this poor child, deserves more care from his brothers and sisters.
Squirtle: I'm not, I didn't...
With this complete heart-to-heart talk, Mingzheng and Squirtle can be considered truly bonded.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that Squirtle is even more clingy. He can't wait to be clinging to Mingzheng 24 hours a day and 25 hours a day.
Mingzheng just let it pull at him. After a while, he would calm down and come down naturally.
As for the base in the swamp, Mingzheng called Uesugi directly and gave him the location so he could send someone to take a look.
He didn't care about the rest.
To prevent Squirtle from getting hurt again.
If you want to overcome the shadow of the past, there is no need to wait for a while.
