Two thousand years ago.
Before Rong Yue left modern times.
It was dawn, and it was morning.
Pale golden light spread across the earth.
Lillie was lying on her side on the quilt, breathing evenly... still sleeping.
Suddenly, her little face turned a little rosy, and she subconsciously turned over, then sat up suddenly and exclaimed, "No, no, no, that's too big! No matter how hard you think, you can't come in, right?"
Lillie's snow-white face was rosy, even her neck and ears were red. She was panting heavily, touching her hot face with one hand, and subconsciously touching her thigh with the other hand...
"Laluwu?" Cresselia opened her eyes sleepily, her little face resting on the pillow, looking at Lillie in confusion and confusion.
Noticing Cresselia's gaze, Lillie's delicate body trembled for an instant, and she shook her head quickly, as if to dispel some unexplainable scene in her mind.
But she still covered her small face with her hands in shame, and her muffled voice came from her palms.
"Rongyue has never asked for my opinion...why did she tell Mr. Qiansu that I agreed?"
"Although, although it's not impossible...but..." The more Lillie murmured to herself, the clearer the picture in her head became, and even the touch came along with the picture, making Lillie purse her lips tightly. For fear of making any sound that is not right at all.
Cresselia was even more confused... She knew that Lillie could see part of Rong Yue's memories while sleeping, but what exactly did she see?
"Miss?" The maid's doubtful voice came from outside again.
After Lillie calmed down her mood, she said calmly in a cold voice: "...It's nothing."
"yes."
Lillie breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows, then sighed again and whispered, "It's been a week... But this week, why can't Mr. Qiansu find a way to change his body back?" What’s the method?”
Obviously, Lillie did not see Rong Yue's memory of Yuan Zhu Shrine... After all, it was like a dream, and she could only see part of each other's memories at a time.
"Even he...has given up on me?" Lillie bent her knees and whispered to herself.
"Laluwu?" Cresselia tilted her face again. Although she had never met Xu Qiansu, she heard from Lillie that he should be a very good person. How could he give up on Lillie voluntarily?
Cresselia then kept moaning, trying to comfort Lillie not to think too much.
Lillie shook her head gently, swept away the distracting thoughts in her mind, turned her head to look at Cresselia, and reached out to touch her little face... Now that she has been spending time with Cresselia for a week, although she still cannot fully understand her words , but at this moment I can already guess what she means.
"How is your injury?" Lillie didn't want to talk about going back anymore, so she changed the topic and asked.
"Laluwu~" Cresselia was still young and didn't notice that Lillie was changing the subject, so she flapped her wings and flew around Lillie briskly and lightly, leaving a bunch of gorgeous flowers behind her. of aurora.
This week, Cresselia went to bask in the moon every night, so now she has fully recovered... After all, she is also a legendary Pokémon with tenacious vitality.
Moreover, when Cresselia closed her eyes, she saw a deep purple halo flash across her chest, and a magical stone slab appeared...
As a Pokémon with super powers, she instinctively discovered the mystery of the magical slate, so over the past week, she spent some time actively absorbing the power of the magical slate... So far, she has incorporated the magical slate into her body, and can continue to do so. The earth draws strength from it and recovers from injuries...
Cresselia's current state is like the 'King' Pokémon in the Washui region.
Cresselia raised her chin proudly. Although she had never fought with other Pokémon, at this moment, she felt that she was invincible... No matter who came, they were no match for her.
But so what? No matter how strong she is, she still can't help Lillie and Rong Yue exchange their bodies...
Thinking of this, she silently absorbed the magical slate into her body, floated down, and lay obediently on the quilt, no longer proud of herself.
Lillie sighed again, turned her head and glanced at the window, lost in thought for a moment.
Does she really want to give up?
If she gives up, she will lose it in less than a year. She will never see her mother again, she will never see Pokémon like Bai Huanghuang, or Xu Qiansu.
Lillie didn't know...she didn't know what to do...
What is the right thing to do?
Lillie didn't know the answer to this question, so she lay down silently again and put her arms around Cresselia's neck.
She said, "Cresselia, Cresselia, you are a legendary Pokémon. You must live a long time, right?"
Cresselia tilted her head and thought for a moment. She didn't know how long she could live. After all, she had never seen or communicated with her own people... but she expected that a few hundred years would be more than enough.
Lillie continued, "If, I mean if...if you can live to modern times...can you do me a favor?"
Cresselia and Lillie looked at each other.
Lillie said, "If I really can't exchange bodies with Rong Yue and return to modern times, then after you meet Xu Qiansu, can you let him have a dream? Just dream about everything about me in this era... …”
Lillie's voice couldn't help but become louder, "If he doesn't remember me in the end, then I'm too pitiful, right? At least, I want him to be deeply impressed by me and never forget me for the rest of his life."
Cresselia looked at Lillie in confusion. She couldn't understand Lillie's mood...but Lillie's words made her feel very scared and uneasy.
She likes Lillie.
Lillie said this as if she would die soon.
Cresselia doesn't want Lillie to die, she wants to be with Lillie forever.
She put her forehead against Lillie's face, pressing against her.
Cresselia said, "I don't care about Xu Qiansu... I just want to be with you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Since you are a human being, you will die one day..." Lillie could fully understand what Cresselia meant this time. She smiled softly, "No matter what, there will always be death." The time of separation.”
"I... don't want you to die." Cresselia's feathery wings were like hands, hugging Lillie's shoulders, and she said in a tone like a child having a tantrum.
Lillie closed her eyes in silence.
The speculation that "Xu Qiansu has given up on her" made Lillie feel like a knife, tangled like a hemp rope, and even despaired... She didn't know how to respond to Cresselia.
Suddenly, Cresselia raised her head and looked at the ceiling.
"What's wrong?" Lillie tilted her head slightly.
Cresselia shook her head in confusion... The magical stone slab in her body suddenly moved.
Cresselia's heart was pounding, and an inexplicable sense of urgency was like a tarsal maggot, eating away at her heart.
What's coming?
Something is coming!
There is an inexplicable existence, wrapped in a sacred power, coming across time and space!
coming soon!
coming soon! !
Cresselia looked at Lillie and then realized...
It's time to part ways.
don't want.
Cresselia didn't want to be separated from Lillie.
Cresselia hugged Lillie tightly, and even subconsciously mobilized the power of the magical slate in her body to spread outward, desperately trying to resist the sacred power and the inexplicable existence it encircled.
Lillie subconsciously reached out and hugged Cresselia, and then she felt something in her heart. She looked up. The next second, her pupils suddenly shrank, then expanded, and they lost their energy.
However, the magical slate power emitted by Cresselia turned into dark purple ripples and spread suddenly in all directions.
boom!
The tatami was blown away, and the cabinets and walls were immediately destroyed.
The sealed paper door also broke inch by inch, and then collapsed directly outward.
"Ah——!" The two maids guarding outside the room screamed, and were also blown away by this energy.
boom! ! !
The last extremely dull sound resounded throughout the town.
Countless people heard the sound and looked around.
"There is……"
"No way? It's the master's mansion!?"
"Has the master's mansion been attacked by a monster!?"
"Speaking of which, I once saw a nine-tailed monster in the nearby forest... Could it be that they went crazy and came in!?"
Inside the mansion.
Lillie's room had been completely blown away, with smoke and dust everywhere.
"Cough cough cough!" The black-haired girl in a kimono choked on the smoke and couldn't help coughing.
While coughing, she stretched out her hand to caress her forehead and said intermittently: "My head... hurts so much..."
"Laluwu!" Cresselia looked up at her, then froze.
Although the woman in front of him still has the same body...but she is no longer Lillie.
Lillie...has left.
King Feng kept his promise and sent Rong Yue back.
Cresselia's tears began to fall... She still had a lot to say to Lillie, and she still had a lot of things to tell Lillie... But between them, they didn't even have a chance to say goodbye. nothing.
"Cresselia..." Rongyue noticed Cresselia lying in her arms and crying, and reached out to caress the side of her face, then reacted with a gentle smile, "Long time no see, Cresselia...if you cry so sadly, you must be very reluctant to let go of Lillie."
Cresselia cried so hard that she had difficulty breathing.
It was Rong Yue who saved her in the first place.
The reason why Rong Yue exchanged bodies with Lillie was because Cresselia wanted her to have a sweet dream... a sweet dream of going to the future.
Therefore, the first thing Cresselia said when she saw Rong Yue was, "Excuse me...did you have a good dream?"
Rong Yue was slightly stunned, she could understand Cresselia's words.
She pursed her lips tightly, but couldn't say a word.
"It's the lady's room!"
"Quick, go save the lady!"
Beyond the smoke, the maidservant's loud cry could be heard.
Rongyue breathed a little hastily, stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, then let go of Cresselia and pushed her, "Cresselia, leave quickly! You must not be discovered by father and the others!"
Cresselia is well aware of human beings' malice towards Pokémon. Although she is confident of defeating everyone present, she obviously cannot do that at this moment... That will only make Rong Yue bear the infamy of colluding with Warcraft.
Cresselia sniffed, flapped her wings, and flew up a few meters.
She looked back at Rong Yue, and then with a 'whoosh' sound, she turned into an afterimage and flew directly into the sky from the smoke.
As soon as Cresselia left, Rong Yue seemed to have lost all her strength, sitting limply on the spot, gasping for air.
Maybe her condition has worsened again, or maybe Rong Yue has become accustomed to a healthy body... So at this moment, Rong Yue only feels that she is extremely weak, far weaker than before.
She swayed slightly, then lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Lillie felt amazing.
He was wandering in the sky, like sleepwalking, everything around him was blurry, as if he was in a dream and was about to wake up.
I do not know how long it has been.
call!
Lillie sat up suddenly, gasping for air, her face turned pale.
"Ugh?" A worried voice came from beside him.
Lillie turned her head and looked blankly. White, electric insects, and water leaping fish were sitting next to her, with worried faces on their faces.
Lillie looked around in a daze... everything was dark and the space was small... This was inside a tent.
Zhizhizhi————
Outside the tent, there were some slight sounds again.
Lillie knew that this was the sound made by Pokémon passing through the grass, or running lightly among the branches... the sound of the wild forest.
Snap, snap.
Tears flowed down the side of Lillie's face, dripping on the quilt.
Lillie came back to her senses when she felt the wetness and slight itching of the water droplets on her face, and subconsciously reached out to wipe away her tears.
Lillie... has returned to March 5th... intact.
On March 7th, the day after tomorrow...Xu Qiansu and Cattleya will return to modern times.
In two months, the melting moon will come to modern times.
Lillie lowered her eyes again and looked at her hands... those white, tender and beautiful hands, with some minor scars.
These scars are the lessons Lillie learned while traveling and without experience.
This is definitely my body.
"Um...wu..." Lillie realized this, raised her hands, covered her eyes, and then started crying, her voice hoarse.
She finally returned to modern times. She didn't know why she suddenly came back...but one thing was clear to Lillie.
Xu Qiansu's Rong Yue is gone... completely.
Because, at this moment, a strange memory appeared in Lillie's mind.
It's Rong Yue's memory... It's her future memory.
In the future, Rong Yue will meet Vulpix, go on a journey with Vulpix, endure hardships she has never experienced before, drag her body riddled with pain, and finally die alone on the boat.
It's because Lillie and Rong Yue exchanged bodies, and when they exchanged back, they passed through the time and space tunnel... so Lillie has these memories.
Presumably, Rong Yue will also have Lillie's future memories, right?
Lillie saw this memory and finally made up her mind.
Lillie returned to March 5th, and then on March 6th, she took a plane to the Weimei Forest in the Galar region.
Xu Qiansu once told Rong Yue that there was a lake under the Weimei Forest... there was the Phoenix King's rainbow feather.
Lillie happened to see that scene...she wanted to seek help from King Ho.
She believed that if it was the Phoenix King, there would be a way.
Lillie stood above the underground lake and said, "Dig a hole."
After seven turns and eight turns, Lillie and the Pokémon arrived at the underground lake.
The stone wall above the head is covered with shimmering fluorescent moss. The illusory brilliance echoes with the wide underground lake. The flowing water waves reflect the fluorescence and instead show little ripples on the stone wall.
This is a place as beautiful as a dream.
The wild Pokémon in the underground lake were hiding in the dark, looking at Lillie with wary and hostile eyes.
So many years have passed, but only Xu Qiansu has been to this underground lake.
And Xu Qiansu once beat them up violently, so these wild Pokémon also have a considerable degree of fear of Lillie.
After all, Xu Qiansu and Lillie are both human beings.
Humans are terrible, hateful, and abominable.
Having never come into contact with humans, this is how they view humans.
The human being had a good character last time. He just taught a few of their companions a lesson and didn't attack them again. He didn't even come back for half a year.
But this time the character of this human being is uncertain.
Therefore, the wild Pokémon did not dare to act rashly, for fear of angering this blond human and causing them disaster.
They prayed in their hearts that Lillie was just here for sightseeing and would only stay for a while before leaving.
Lillie looked around and noticed the hostility and wariness of the wild Pokémon towards her, so she took a few steps back to show that she had no ill intentions, and then she said loudly,
"Hello everyone, I heard that there are rainbow feathers here... It should be glowing red feathers... Can you lend it to me? I will return it to you after I use it!"
Lillie's voice echoed in the underground lake, but it made the wild Pokémon shrink back in fear.
No wild Pokémon paid any attention to Lillie.
This is also natural... They are very wary of humans, so of course they won't show up.
What's more, they know that the rainbow feathers Lillie mentioned... are something they have protected for generations! It is the source of such vitality for this lake! How many injured Pokémon can recover as good as before just by taking a dip in the lake! How many sick Pokémon can be restored to health just by taking a sip of lake water!
Therefore, how could such an important thing be given to a human of unknown origin like Lillie?
Seeing this, Lillie was silent for a while, then took out a large bag of elf food from her backpack, took a few steps forward, fell to the ground, and then took a few steps back, "I just borrowed it, and I will definitely return it later!"
The aroma of elf food spread to the surroundings... After a while, no Pokémon dared to step forward.
Lillie had no choice but to push the water jumping fish gently and said, "Water jumping fish, they must be afraid of me... Go to the lake and talk to them."
The water jumping fish was stunned for a while, and then she jumped directly into the lake with her short legs. Bubbles bubbled up, and she dived to the bottom of the lake.
Nearly ten minutes passed, and just when Lillie was worried about whether the water leaper would be bullied by the Pokémon here, the water leaper climbed out of the lake and shook its head in shame at Lillie.
Although the Pokémon here would not take the initiative to harm Waterleap, they were still wary... No matter how much Waterleap spoke, they were unwilling to tell her about the Rainbow Feather.
Lillie knelt down, took out a handkerchief from her bag, and wiped the moisture from Shuiyueyu's body without saying a word.
After a while, Lillie smiled softly and said, "It looks like we have to stay in the underground lake for a while longer."
Lillie plans to fight a protracted war with the Pokémon here.
She believes that Pokémon are pure and kind.
It's just that they don't believe her at this moment.
Lillie then set up a tent in the corner of the underground lake.
At night, no Pokémon dared to come and eat the Pokémon food that Lillie had piled on the shore of the lake.
Because Waterleap Fish talked with the group of wild Pokémon and learned that they did not want to fight Lillie, but just wanted Lillie to leave... So staying here is considered safe, so Bai Huanghuang, Waterleap Fish and It was in the middle of the night that Denden Insect finally fell asleep completely.
But Lillie was not sleepy at all.
The Rainbow Feather is her only hope.
If you can't get the Rainbow Feather, there will be no chance of improvement.
Lillie crawled out of the tent and walked toward the underground lake alone.
Thump thump thump.
Seeing Lillie, some wild Pokémon who came ashore were immediately frightened and flew into the lake. In the blink of an eye, the underground lake became silent again.
Lillie silently walked to the underground lake and knelt down there.
The water of the lake was very clear, and Lillie could clearly see her reflection in the water.
She reached out and caressed the side of her face.
Same body, same face, but Rong Yue is able to please Xu Qiansu...
If he didn't find the Rainbow Feather, the outcome would be certain.
How will Xu Qiansu feel after Rong Yue leaves?
Will he be so sad that he gives up on himself? Will he have a nervous breakdown?
...Will we lose hope of living?
Snap, snap.
Big tears fell from the corners of his eyes and hit the lake, causing circles of ripples on the reflection on the water.
Thinking of this, Lillie felt extremely sad.
She didn't understand why this happened? Why should the three of them be given such a fate.
Gulu.
Suddenly, in front of Lillie's eyes, a black wave emerged from the water, raised its little face, and looked at her.
Lillie was slightly startled.
Because, in Wubo's mouth, there was a feather that shone with colorful light.
"Rainbow Feather...why..." Lillie couldn't believe it and murmured.
"Ubo, Ubo Ubo~"
Ubo replied, because you cried so much and looked so sad... We think you must need it very much... so just take it.
Thump thump thump.
Behind Ubo, some more water Pokémon emerged from the lake.
They nodded in agreement, and then started talking in random directions.
It was so chattering and noisy that Lillie could not understand a single word.
But she knew that these Pokémon... agreed to lend her the Rainbow Feather.
Lillie let out an uncontrollable sob from her throat. At this moment, she didn't know what to say to express her feelings, "Thank you, thank you..."
That was all she could say.
Lillie stretched out her hands and took the iridescent feather that Pokémon had guarded for thousands of years from Ubpo's mouth.
"Phoenix King... If you can hear my call, you can help me...Phoenix King..."
The rainbow-colored feather lay in Lillie's palm, emitting a faint glow outward. With Lillie's choked words, all the scars on Lillie's little hand were restored, and spread to Lillie's whole body. All the wounds, big and small, on her body were healed.
But... the Phoenix King did not come.
"Uh... um..." Lillie retracted her hands, hugged the rainbow feather tightly, and knelt down beside the underground lake, her body hunched over and crying bitterly.
Phoenix King... did not give Lillie a response.
The wild Pokémon in the lake couldn't help but climb ashore, gathered around Lillie, and whispered to comfort her.
The colorful light continues to spread faintly around...
But the Phoenix King did not come after all.
