To the forest

To the forest

"I suppose that knowing the typing of at least one future enemies pokemon is somewhat useful." Wes said gruffly. "Now then lets get this Entei of yours purified and you two on your way." I said and they agreed. I had a lot more trouble purifying this Entei than I did the previous shadow pokemon but that was to be expected. Once I was done Wes and Rui left and I crashed out to sleep and recover from the strain the process took on me. If I had the massive reserves I used to have before my aura got a qualitative upgrade it wouldn't have been enough to make me break a sweat. -

Unfortunately I had very little energy at any given time so when I sent my energy into the Entei I had to use that small amount to deal with the entirety of the pokemons aura. It was a bit like using a pickaxe to hollow out a mountain, possible but highly inefficient. I ended up needing three days of rest before I was feeling back to normal but i can't say that the gains weren't worth it.-

My own aura reserves had grown slightly larger as a natural response to being so strained much like a muscle in a way. Purifying a shadow pokemon wasn't like using aura normally or meditating to improve the stuff but was rather the sort of growth that happened when you finish a tough fight and learn from the experience. Now it was time for me to finally head out into the relic forest to find that shrine and hopefully the Celebi itself. I wasn't going to force any of my pokemon to come with me if they absolutely didn't want to but it was pretty much unanimously agreed that we went together.-

To my surprise Gaia had apparently managed to integrate her divinity with the desert sands enough to keep the sandstorm going on it's own pretty much indefinitely. Only real downside was going to be that she wasn't going to be able to control it so the Hub was going to be a forbidden zone while we were gone. I sent out my messages to my people in the region telling them what I was doing before finally getting on Rune and setting out into the sky with Agate in mind for my destination.-

While we flew I kept an eye out on the desert in hopes of finding whatever the last oddity of the region was or the ruins the system said were here but I had no luck this time. Agate village was more defensive i suppose you could say when I arrived but I wasn't surprised given what Wes and Rui told me happened while I was gone here. Apparently Cypher had found out about the relic and it's "purification" properties and sought to destroy it as a threat to their plans. Wes was in the village at the time though and sent the peons packing near effortlessly.-

Time was absolutely cracked out of it's mind in this forest as some parts I saw were in the middle of winter or something like that while another spot right next to it was totally normal. The part that bothered me the most however was that I didn't know when I passed through an altered time space until after I did so. Doing so gave you this odd sense of vertigo and offness that was downright nerve-wracking to experience. Still despite time being all sorts of fucked up I had my trusty compass to guide me north to the shrine that I was after.-

When I arrived it was not at all how I expected it to be. I had thought it would be a rundown place overgrown with weeds and dirty but I was VERY wrong. The surroundings of the shrine were well maintained and looked like a skilled caretaker had just finished up trimming the grass. The shrine itself was a small stone structure carved with many detailed images of events past, present and future. Within the shrine was a golden offering bowl and still lit incense burning next to it as well as a faded but clean tapestry depicting a Celebi.
