Vol. 2 Chapter 69: Return to the Past

"This place almost feels nostalgic," I said, and looked around the familiar forest. "Even though we are in a place that hasn't existed for one hundred million years."

I had never been to this place before, except in the vision I had shared with Tyranna, but our current location wasn't one I remembered. The air was fresh and warm, the grass was green, and the sun was shining down on the massive trees, but there was an eerie lack of noise around us. There also weren't any Pokémon or people within three hundred feet of us, according to Cryo.

[Close your eyes briefly while I place an overlay over you vision. This will allow you to see the outlines of people and Pokémon within our range. You will have to identify the people to label them, and in this case, since we are in the past, you will have to do the same for some Pokémon. While we know some about the Pokémon of the past, there is no way we could know everything from this far back. There is a very good chance you will see many new Pokémon never seen or recorded, like the strange Pokémon you described from your vision.]

I nodded, and did as Cryo instructed, closing my eyes. When I opened them again, a burst of concentric lines seemed spread out from me like a net, coating everything. At first I was going to complain because it made everything very confusing to look at, but then the white glowing lines faded. I frowned at this, but then I concentrated on a strange looking flower beside me, and I stepped back in shock as information appeared in a floating digital bubble beside it.

Type: Plant

Name: Island Flaregora

Description: Refining and ingesting this flower can increase the stats of any Pokémon with a Fire type. This flower also grants an extra boost to Stamina. Requires 30 Island Flaregora blossoms to refine 1 Fire Racer Pill. Max of 5 pills can be taken to reach maximum effect.

"I want it!" Nemona shouted from beside me, and I nearly jumped out of my skin in shock.

"Hey! Pipe down! We are in a dangerous place, you know?" I growled, but Nemona just grabbed me by my shirt and shook the shit out of me, then pulled my head down to the message bubble beside the flower.

"You see this? Fire? Stamina? Basically everything that I need, right?" She whispered harshly, and I rolled my eyes.

Lusamine frowned. "Since when did I become the Pokémon Radar?"

"Can't you sense them?" Anabel returned, making Lusamine roll her eyes.

"So can the rest of the girls, and Landon," Lusamine replied with a sigh.

"They aren't my partner, and you are," Anabel said with a smile, linking one of her arms in Lusamine's.

Lusamine's cheeks flushed. "Then, there are a lot of small Pokémon nearby. They seem to be hiding."

I nodded, and motioned to move forward and Iono linked her arm with me, looking up at me with a smile.

"Are you streaming this?" I asked as we started to move, but Iono shook her head.

"No, but I am recording with a few small drones. Something like this could have some bad stuff in it, and I will likely have to do some heavy editing after. Still, this is going to make great footage! Oh! Speaking of footage, I finished our movie! Jolene says she wants to be in the next episode!" Iono laughed, and I stopped to look down at her, my brain skipping a cog.
