We've been trying to find Jeffery for a while now but he's nowhere to be seen.
No stone was left unturned or tree unclimbed but we were starting to lose hope.
We decided to go back to the beach where my pokemon Zorua and Kabuto were a;ready waiting for us.
Excited, I quickly rushed up to them.
"Any luck on finding him?"
They both shook their heads as disappointed as I am.
We just stayed there in silence for a few seconds until Zorua started to bark like she found something that she wanted me to see but before I understood that she ran off and I had to go after her again.
Naturally Kabuto and Chloe also joined us.
It was almost like we'd been running for an hour when we finally stopped everyone except for Zorua were out of breath.
"Why …Why did you bring us here?" I said trying not to collapse on the floor as I looked to see what was the matter with her all of a sudden and I saw a camp that looked to be guarded by the people in the white hood, the same ones who brought the boat here.
"So we are on one of the Granite islands-" Chloe whispered as she stared on with me.
The place wasn't heavily guarded as we thought but the few people there looked to have strong pokemon on their side.
Can't be too sure when you're keeping a Celebi I suppose.
"Let's go to Zorua." I said gettin ready to run on in but Chloe held me back.
"Are you crazy??" She whispered but in my case it was practically yelling how harsh she said it.
"We can't fight them-" she said
"Do you want your Zorua to die by being hyperbeamed to death??"
i pulled my shoulder away from her and stared at her with a determined look.
"Then what are we gonna do??" I whispered back.
"We can't just leave Celebi with those creeps-"
"And just who are you calling creeps exactly?" my heart sank as i heard a stern but feminine voice behind me when i turned it was just as i thought a grunt!
"Zorua use-" My mouth was covered by the grunt member and when she pulled down her hood she revealed to be Misty.
"Calm down."
"I'm here to save Celebi too but we cant do it tonight-"
"Why not?" Chloe asked, confused.
"It's currently out for testing against a few fossils. That's why security is so low tonight." Misty explained.
"For I assume you're looking for your friend? Just walk down that path straight ahead and you'll see a cabin that I'm staying at."
She points down a straight dirt path.
"It's not too far from here.. I'd go now but I was sent to check you out so if I leave it would be suspicious."
The both of us nodded and left.
Misty let out a huge sigh and put the hood back on along with the mask.
______________
Walking to the Cabin we saw Jeremy picking oran berries with his Charmander and when he noticed us he was very happy to see us we were also happy to see him but also a bit salty but that's probably from the Ocean water-
"Where were you??" Chloe asked both mad and worried at the same time.
"Oh I just woke up here." He started to do that thing again where he just rubs his scruffy hair over and over.
"Bill told me that he and Misty found me washed up on the shore so they took me in."
"Unfortunately you two weren't there at the time. I was unconscious for most of the day and I couldn't get out of bed until just now when you found me."
Chloe folds her arms and makes that pouting noise In a "Ok your argument checks out but i'm still mad." Kinda way
We continued to catch up and overall had a great time outside.
"Ah you're here!"
We heard a voice by the cabin door and saw Bill waving at us.
"Come inside and make yourselves at home."
We let Jeffery go back to picking his oran berries and we went inside to meet the professor.
"So you're Ayuna..and your Chloe correct?" Bill asked as he sat by his computer typing something out.
"Yup, that's us!" I said with a proud smile on my face.
"So Ayuna, Chloe, have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?" Bill asked as he pulled up a diagram on the computer.
I remember doing that topic in 5th grade back when I wasn't here but that's one of the few things that i remember.
"No." Chloe said "I've heard it a few times-"
Bill then turned the computer to us to show us a simulation with only two lines.
"If you were to imagine these lines as time lines the one at the top will be one where you existed and one where you didn't exist."
Bill started to explain.
"Let something happened.BOOM! One more timeline where you didn't do that action and if that action had multiple outcomes BOOM! Another few come out of nowhere."
"And lets just say something happens totally unexpectedly to the point where even the Dialga himself didn't expect this."
"Then would you think that timeline will branch out like the rest?"\
"Yes?" I said not knowing the answer but that sounded like the best one.
"No! You're still in that timeline. The major choices you make from there are what creates the new ones."
"My head hurts" I started to complain while holding my head.
"Typical-" Chloe scoffed
"By the way… why are you telling us this?" Chloe asked.
"I have my reasons." Bill got up from his computer and headed to the kitchen.
"Your bedrooms are down the hall." He said walking off.
Me and Chloe stared at each other in a confused way before looking back at Bill as he leaves to the kitchen.
