“You sure got here quickly.” Shock said. “Pikachu and Marill should be right behind then. Oh, and I see you decided to bring Chah after all.” She looked back at the mountain. Then she heard Mystery’s voice calling to her. She closed her eyes.
“You can’t go in there.” Mystery said. “You shouldn’t have come here…”
Why not? Shock asked.
“Beyond this forcefield…”
Another one? Shock asked.
“Is a place no living being shall ever live.” Mystery said.
What… is it? If no living being lives there, then what is it? Shock asked.
“A Barrier. A Barrier never to be broken between two special dimensions.”
Two… dimensions? Like what? Shock asked.
“I will not tell you where this portal leads. But it is a very strong barrier that cannot be broken unless it’s by the one who casted it. Not even a legendary Pokemon is allowed in.” Destiny said.
Then… how do we get the stone? Shock asked.
“You must survive the night. If you survive, then the stone will appear, but you must fight for it.” Mystery said.
I see. So a non-living being can pass through the shield? Shock asked.
Mystery stayed quiet a few moments before answering. “There are three special beings who can pass through the shield. One is the one who cast this shield, one is the being in charge of the stones, and the last is an assistant to the being in charge of the stones.”
I can see why you hesitated to answer that. Shock said.
“I won’t tell you who to look for… but I will tell you that one of these three beings is a Pichu.”
A Pichu? Really? Shock asked.
“In a way, that is correct. I won’t tell you anymore. The answers will come if you wait patiently.” Mystery said.
Shock opened her eyes again. “Hey, you see Xyris and Akaro over there? They’re sleeping next to some sort of tablet. Can any of you read what it says?” Shock asked towards Deadroth, Serenity, or Chah. Maybe asking Chah will lead me to one of his sarcastic remarks. Like the one he made about flying. Shock thought.
