Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Five Days? It Was Five Minutes!

A/N:8/10 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Cogita told Julian and Cynthia that it was time for them to leave.

After bringing Goodra to see Red Lotus Lake one last time, they left by the same road they had used to enter.

Over the past few days, they had also occasionally met the Pokémon they had battled on the way in.

Through Julian’s food strategy, they could now be considered fairly good friends.

Everyone felt somewhat reluctant about Julian leaving.

Only Decidueye, standing on a bamboo stalk, clearly let out a breath of relief.

Aside from learning Victory Dance, Hakamo-o had been especially fond of finding Decidueye and asking him to test the defensive power of his dragon scales.

Decidueye had no desire whatsoever to indulge Hakamo-o’s strange obsession.

For Decidueye, one reason he had grown stronger was so he would no longer be injured.

So he could gain the power to protect others and stop them from being hurt too.

There was no way Decidueye would agree to what Hakamo-o wanted him to do.

Hakamo-o could only wait until his injuries recovered, then pester Decidueye for battles.

While learning Victory Dance, Hakamo-o could also go to him for battles.

Naturally, Hakamo-o’s Victory Dance progressed extremely well!

It had gone even more smoothly than Cogita guiding Gallade in Stone Axe and Garchomp in Headlong Rush!

Cogita’s evaluation was, "Dragon Dance has already merged into Hakamo-o’s soul. That is why learning Victory Dance is so fast."

"But if he wants to truly master it, he will likely still need some kind of trigger."

Such as evolving into Kommo-o.

Evolving into Kommo-o would allow him to learn Clangorous Soul, but that did not mean Victory Dance had no meaning for Kommo-o.

Although Victory Dance did not have as strong an effect as Clangorous Soul, it had no drawback!

And one could never have too many moves.

Hakamo-o’s learning speed this month clearly showed that he had an affinity with Victory Dance.

Cynthia was visibly gloomy because Garchomp had made the slowest progress in learning Headlong Rush.

"Don’t rush. Although you won’t be able to use Headlong Rush in this Elite Four ranking battle, you still have Dragon Dance!"

"I believe you and Garchomp will definitely win easily!"

Thinking of Dragon Dance, Cynthia’s gloomy mood finally eased quite a bit.

Right.

There was also an ancient ruin connected to Palkia waiting for them to explore.

Zoroark accompanied them all the way to the edge of the misty forest.

"From here on, you two can only walk by yourselves."

"Once you’ve recovered, come again. Gengar’s Shadow Ball still has quite a few problems."

Julian smiled and nodded.

"Don’t worry. Next time, I’ll definitely bring plenty of chicken in."

Zoroark waved her hand.

"Roast chicken isn’t important at all. I simply enjoy exchanging insights on Ghost-type moves."

Cynthia smiled without saying anything.

Their conversation completely swept away her gloomy mood.

"Goodbye, Zoroark."

The two walked into the mist and vanished.

Cogita suddenly appeared beside Zoroark and spoke meaningfully.

"If you chase after them now, perhaps you can obtain a completely different life."

Zoroark shook her head, then suddenly smiled.

"Maybe I’m just stubborn and like hardship. Being able to use Bitter Malice well isn’t exactly a natural talent of the Zoroark line."

There was definitely a little personal grievance mixed in there.

Cogita calmly turned around.

"Then continue staying here with me. Perhaps there will be other chances for you to leave."

...

After exiting the misty forest, Cynthia immediately felt the light-headed sensation Cogita had mentioned.

She shook her head.

"Julian, how are you?"

Julian frowned.

"This isn’t ordinary light-headedness. Our souls and bodies are slightly misaligned."

"The misty forest is much more dangerous than we imagined. If we stay there too long, we might not be able to come out."

Although they had not stayed for long, this place that appeared to be a forest contained many different environments, and the borders between them were extremely distinct.

It felt as if they had been forcibly pieced together.

Like a torn painting, where some fragments with matching edges had been joined.

But the contents of the picture did not connect at all.

That was the place Cogita lived.

A fragment of Hisui’s space-time?

After entering the misty forest, their phones had completely stopped working.

Julian was in much better condition than Cynthia. He could still take out his phone and call Professor Carolina.

"Professor, we’re out."

Professor Carolina’s surprised voice came from the phone.

"You came out this quickly? Was there nothing worth exploring inside?"

Cynthia was confused.

"Quickly?"

Professor Carolina replied, "You only stayed inside for five minutes."

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

"But it was clearly five days!"

Julian showed Cynthia the phone. The time displayed on it was indeed only five minutes after they had entered.

At first, Julian had simply thought the special circumstances of the misty forest had caused the phone to malfunction.

But it turned out the phone was showing the correct time.

Professor Carolina immediately reacted.

"You’re saying you stayed there for five days? Stay exactly where you are and don’t move."

"I’ll bring people over immediately and examine your bodies. Time distortion is not a small matter."

Professor Carolina quickly arrived with researchers from the History Research Institute.

They also brought the machine that had previously detected Palkia’s energy fluctuations.

They immediately examined the two of them.

Cynthia was puzzled.

"Grandma, there’s nothing seriously wrong with our bodies."

Professor Carolina’s expression was grave.

"Throughout history, quite a few people have been affected by Dialga and Palkia’s power."

"At first, they all thought nothing of it. Then their bodies suddenly separated, or they suddenly aged, and only then did they discover that the anomaly had been caused by the powers of time and space."

"Cynthia, you don’t want your beautiful face to end up scattered in pieces, do you?"

Cynthia looked at Professor Carolina nervously.

"Grandma, hurry and examine us!"

After a round of examinations confirmed that their bodies had no problems, Professor Carolina finally let out a breath of relief.

A researcher looked at the scanned fluctuations and was somewhat surprised.

"Professor, look at this!"

The new Palkia energy fluctuation on Julian’s body was slowly merging with the previous fluctuation.

Julian frowned slightly.

"Professor, this won’t have any effect, will it?"

Professor Carolina seriously analysed the data on the computer.

"No problem. It should actually bring some benefits to your body. Last time, didn’t you say you learned Teleport because of it?"

"This should help your Teleport. For example, increasing the distance you can teleport, or allowing you to teleport while bringing someone with you."

With his soul currently misaligned, this clearly was not a good time to try Teleport.

Even their thinking had been somewhat affected, so the two of them clearly could not drive.

Professor Carolina smiled faintly.

"There’s still work to do at the research institute. Since the two of you are fine, we’ll head back first."

"You two can walk slowly and enjoy Celestic Town’s scenery while you’re at it."

With a wave of Professor Carolina’s hand, the researchers quickly got into their cars and drove away.

They left Julian and Cynthia behind.

The corner of Cynthia’s mouth twitched.

Grandma, was that really necessary?

Your granddaughter feels this awful right now, and you still want her to go on a date?

Cynthia sighed.

"In our current state, we clearly can’t explore the ancient ruins. Come on. I’ll treat you to Celestic Town’s speciality cuisine."
