Chapter 33
Meyer carrying Cynthia on his back and Ella following him got out of the old blimp.
Ryu!
Ampharos sensed someone getting near them.
"Ampharos? Someone coming?" Meyer asked Ampharos who was looking in a certain direction. But he was confused as instead of being alert Ampharos was instead excited and started running towards the direction where she sensed someone.
Meyer followed as he was also curious as to why Ampharos was excited.
When they enter the forest they are greeted by Ralia, Shella, and Lynn's surprised face.
"Meyer?" Lynn asked as she wondered why Meyer was here.
"You know her Lynn?" Ralia asked
"Of course she knows him after all he is her boyfriend" Shella said
"We're not!" Lynn refute and Meyer who heard this was stunned
"We we're not?"
Shella rolled her eyes before she saw her daughter behind Meyer.
"Ella!"
"Cynthia!"
The two mothers, Ralia and Shella, immediately rushed towards their daughter. Ella who saw her mother also ran towards her embrace. When Ralia caught Ella, the little girl started crying as she hugged her mother.
"Waah I'm sorry"
"It's okay now, it's okay, you did a good job. Because of you we found your big sister" Shella calmed Ella as she talked about the good thing Ella did as she really helped them a lot.
Ralia took Cynthia and checked her daughter who was still asleep. She could sense that Cynthia was under hypnosis from Gengar. She took out a pokeball and call out the pokemon inside
"Roserade come out, I need your assistance"
Rose~
"Roserade please use aromatherapy on Cynthia." Ralia told Roserade which the pokemon nodded. Roserade put one of her roses in front of Cynthia and emit a green light.
Moments later Cynthia woke up from her Hypnosis state.
"Mom?" When she woke up, she saw her mother in front of her. Ralia help Cynthia stand as Cynthia look around.
"Where are we?"
As she look around she remembered about her pokemon and pokemon egg. She felt the pokemon egg in her embrace and raised it and sighed in relief. But she still look around for her pokemon.
"Gible? Bounsweet? Mom, where are my pokemon?
"Don't worry dear, they're in your grandpa Yun's house."
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Hmm, but mom what happened? I remember a shadow passed by me while taking care of the egg." Cynthia asked as she only remembered about taking care of the pokemon egg.
Hearing her daughter's question Ralia narrated all what happened.
"I slept for so long?" Cynthia was shocked that she slept for a whole day.
"Yes, but you should remember to thank your little cousin, okay?" Ralia reminded her daughter to thank her cousin.
"Of course" Cynthia nodded as she was really grateful of Ella if not for her the adults would have a hard time searching for her and worst is that she wouldn't be found.
"Mom, how about Ed?" Cynthia asked
"Huh?" Hearing Cynthia's question the three women wanted to answer Cynthia when a white light shone behind them.
The look to where the came from and Lynn was surprised and nervous
"That direction is where Ed and Seibold are!"
"What!!"
—--------
Ed's first Pov
Due to that blinding light I slowly opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar place. This place was like the beautiful garden of a palace I always saw on tv.
"Ugh"
I heard Seibold beside me, he look confused as he looked around before his gaze paused on me questioning where we were.
"Don't ask me, I also don't know where we are"
As both of us stood up, we saw guards rushing towards us. Seeing many people rushing towards us, I felt scared and wanted to ran away but stopped when I received a mission from the system.
[Mission]
[The Mirage Kingdom]
[Mission Task: Survive and Change future]
[Reward: blessing of Mirage]
[Blessing of Mirage: This blessing came from Mew and Celebi. With this blessing a human can use the power of mirage. But it was still a mirage and illusion]
[Punishment: See for yourself]
"..." I was excited at first when he received a mission from the system but he was speechless as he read all the information given by the system.
Why not just give me the things I need to achieve.
I want to bicker with the system as the system became more lazy lately. Even those rewards was just books to read unlike those protagonists with a system just spoon feeding them with knowledge.
"Ed what are you doing!"
I returned back to reality as I heard Siebold shouting my name.
But when I looked around we were already surrounded by the people that rushed towards us.
A man with a weird mustache arrogantly approached us but when he saw that we were just looking at him he was furious as glaringly questioned us.
"Who are you two? Why are you using the teleportation device only for our royal family? Where is my father, the most esteemed general of the Mirage Kingdom! Where is he!?"
I was confused about what he was saying as I don't even know who his father was. I couldn't speak out as my brain was still absorbing what was happening but on the other hand Seibold answered the arrogant mut.
"I'm sorry sir but we don't know who your father is. As both me and my cousin were just lost and when we sat on a rock we were teleported here."
Seibold's explanation turned deaf ears as the arrogant guy ordered.
"ARREST THEM!"
The guards surrounded the two of us and those bastards knocked me out before I could react.
...
"Just what is that light?" Shella asked as she was confused as to where the light came from as she knew that there are no pokemon near here as Rio (Lucario) used his aura to scout the area.
"What are we gonna do!" Shella heard Ralya's anxious voice.
"Is something wrong Ralya?" Shella asked
"Me and Lucario can't find the two boys"
"What!" Everyone exclaimed
"Damn it, we found Cynthia and Ella now the other two turn" Lynn laughed, Meyer could sense the frustration on Lynn's voice.
"Come on I was just here for vacation"
"Are you okay Lynn?" Meyer asked Lynn worried as he saw her expression.
"Of course I'm not!" Lynn snarled at Meyer. Meyer being with Lynn for a long time understands how her emotions fluctuate. If he didn't ask her she would still be angry at him that he's insensitive with her feelings.
"What could have happen?" Shella asked as she couldn't understand what happened to Ed and Seibold as even Lucario couldn't sense their aura.
"This is troublesome as we don't have any idea what happened as all we know is that there is a bright light" Ralya said as she investigate the area.
"Hmm?" She saw a shirt button near a flat white stone when she picked the stone she saw word inscribed to the stone.
"This is..Hey everyone I think I know what happened to them." Ralya told everyone what she found and what those transcribed words mean.
"Then do you know how to activate this thing?" Shella worried what their elders would do, especially Grandpa Yun and Grandma Talya, also Ed's parents. Added that they're also focused on retrieving the stolen sacred ash of Ho-oh. Those elders would do anything to save their children. But what worried her the most is the health of the two elders, even though the two were strong people
"I'm not really an expert in regard to these things you know" Ralya answered as she's more inclined on medical topics than archaeology stuff like her mother.
"Should we—" Shella wanted to propose on calling their elders when everyone saw Lucario and Ampharos becoming vigilant staring in a certain direction.
