Chapter 1280: Longing Across Time and Space

On June 20th in the year 202 of the League history, Mew and Teddiursa destroyed the Guardian Stone Pillar located in Eindoak.

As soon as the Guardian Stone Pillar collapsed, the barrier that surrounded Eindoak was also lifted.

Three Pokemon rode on Dragonite, the delivery worker Naoki sent to deliver Poffins, rushing from the Unova Region to Naoki Ranch.

As soon as Victini landed, it looked pitifully at Naoki, who claimed he could help it meet the Old King again.

“Ni-ni?!”

“Don’t worry, I know you really want to see him, but before we start, there’s something I need to tell you first,” Naoki said.

“Ni-ni?”

Victini looked over with tearful eyes.

Naoki took out the remaining portion of Scrambled Eggs with Wish Tomatoes and said to Victini:

“This dish can help fulfill your wish, but I can’t guarantee the effect. It might just let you meet the Old King in your dreams, or it might bring him back in front of you. The specific effect will depend on you.”

“The stronger your wish, the better its effect,” Naoki said seriously.

He hoped Victini could take a moment to prepare before consuming this dish.

Upon hearing these words, Victini looked at the food in front of it and suddenly fell into memories.

A wish? It wished to see the Old King again, to always be by his side, not to see him lose his life due to excessive exhaustion…

“Victini…” Lono beside them had already heard Naoki tell the story of this Pokemon, and a hint of pity and heartache arose in her heart.

Naoki gently held her hand, silently comforting her, reassuring that everything would be fine.

Victini recalled past events, the clash between the Black Dragon and White Dragon, the destruction of the Dragon Vein, and the Old King borrowing its strength to suppress the Dragon Vein.

After that, the Old King exhausted his Life Force and left it.

The once prosperous castle became deserted, leaving only this one Pokemon staying there through more than a thousand springs, summers, autumns, and winters.

No, I don’t want this!

Tears surged forth from Victini’s eyes, and it almost shouted out: “Ni-ni—!”

It wanted to see him, to prevent everything in the past!

In the next second, Victini radiated a dazzling light, and infinite magical energy surged from its body.

Victini’s gaze became incredibly determined, as it picked up that small portion of Scrambled Eggs with Wish Tomatoes and resolutely ate it.

In an instant, the dazzling light from Victini filled the entire room.

Naoki and the other Pokemon instinctively shielded their eyes.

Like a DNA helix, colorful light rapidly surged from Victini, causing drastic changes to everything around.

Not knowing how long it had been, the glow from Victini gradually disappeared, and suddenly a bustling noise appeared around them.

Naoki suddenly opened his eyes and realized they had unknowingly left the ranch, arriving in a completely unfamiliar place!

The buildings here were filled with a medieval style, the streets paved with cobblestone bricks, and the surrounding people dressed in classical attire, women in simple dresses, and men in coarse cloth and hemp robes.

These people covered their mouths, looking shocked at these strangers who suddenly appeared on the street.

“Where… is this?” Lono looked around dazedly, asking.

Naoki quickly noticed the massive Earth Sword Castle standing on the distant mountains and said calmly:

“We might have arrived at the past Eindoak…”

Is this Victini’s wish?

In an instant, Naoki understood what was happening.

Victini’s longing for the Old King transcended time and space; its body’s infinite magical energy resonated with the wish dish, amplifying the dish’s effects infinitely, bringing them back to the past!

And after a brief moment of stupor, Victini quickly noticed the familiar castle in the distance.

Its eyes showed an expression of disbelief, with tears glistening, its voice trembling with excitement: “Ni-ni!”

Clearly, Victini had recognized this place, the one it would never forget!

Looking at the growing crowd, Naoki said to Mew: “Mew, take us away from here first!”

“Miu!”

The teleport activated, their figures instantly vanished from the spot, reappearing on an uninhabited hill.

Victini looked eagerly towards the distant castle and turned back to Naoki and Mew and the others, saying: “Ni-ni!”

It was back! Back to the past! The Old King is now in that castle!

Victini could hardly wait to go over and see its Trainer.

“Then go!” Naoki said to Victini with a smile.

Victini immediately wanted to fly away but suddenly turned around to look at the Pokemon and humans who helped it.

“Ni-ni!” Let’s go together!

“Miu!”

“I-ma!”

Mew and Teddiursa happily agreed. Since they decided to help Victini, they’d help all the way, accompanying Victini back!

The two Pokemon turned to look at Naoki and Lono, who exchanged a glance and then looked towards Koraidon.

A minute later, Koraidon carried Naoki and Lono flying towards Earth Sword Castle.

Victini flew ahead, fluttering excitedly, while Mew and Teddiursa smiled and accompanied it.
