Chapter 124: Ancient Memories Sealed in Stone
When Bai Feng arrived at the Talonflame Captain's Dormitory, it was also eating Dinner.
Bai Feng learned the details of the Matter from its mouth, and as he left, he kept muttering, "It's really growing up, actually learning to not come Home at night!"
——————
On the other side, Bai Ye, led by the Leader Trevenant, was walking step by step towards the depths of the Forest, followed by a large group of Phantump.
Although it was pitch black outside at this time, Will-o'-wisps were floating everywhere inside the Forest. One to two Will-o'-wisps floated beside each Phantump, like Lanterns, illuminating the entire Forest.
If someone were standing outside the Forest at this moment, they would see this spectacular Scene. From a distance, the Will-o'-wisps looked like Fireflies, beautiful yet unapproachable.
Once approached, the Will-o'-wisps would reveal their true form, turning the entire Forest into a Ghost Domain.
As they walked towards the very center of the Forest, a circular Pond appeared before Bai Ye. The Pond was filled with emerald green Liquid.
The emerald green Liquid was actually glowing. Even without the Will-o'-wisp illumination, this Pond Water would be very conspicuous in the darkness, which explained why it was hidden deep within the Forest.
Leader Trevenant took the lead and walked into the Pond, immersing its Body in the Water. In just the blink of an eye, all the Injuries it had sustained from the Battle earlier completely disappeared.
"Oh Toh~" You should come and Try it too!
Leader Trevenant said to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye lifted its foot and stepped into the Pond. The cool Liquid slowly submerged it, and at the same time, it felt its Body absorbing a certain kind of Energy from the Pond Water.
After the Energy in the Pond Water was absorbed, it quickly began to repair Bai Ye's Injuries.
"What kind of place is this? It's so magical," Bai Ye asked in confusion.
"Oh Toh~" Don't know.
Leader Trevenant shook its Head. Their clan had lived in this Forest for many years, and this Pond had always existed. So, they voluntarily guarded this Pond, and it had never been Discovered by Humans.
Just then, Leader Trevenant suddenly exclaimed, "What's that on your Chest? Why is it glowing?"
Bai Ye looked down and indeed saw its Chest faintly glowing. It reached out and took out the Necklace Blazing Fire had given it. It saw that the Pink Diamond was the Light Source.
Furthermore, Bai Ye sharply noticed that a kind of Energy similar to the Pond Water was actually lingering around the Diamond.
Before Bai Ye could figure out the key point, Leader Trevenant exclaimed again, because a Light Spot also appeared in the center of the Pond.
The two Pokémon leaned in to look and saw that the Light Source in the Pond came from a Green Gem embedded at the bottom of the Pond, only about the size of a Human thumb.
And the light emitted by the Green Gem seemed to be responding to the Diamond in Bai Ye's hand.
Bai Ye subconsciously placed the Diamond in its hand together with the Green Gem, but then its Consciousness fell into a daze.
That Instant of daze might have lasted only a second, or perhaps a very, very long Time...
Bai Ye saw countless Scenes.
A giant grabbed a green Pokémon that looked like a Cell and crafted it into a pitch-black Weapon.
From then on, the Cell's Owner fell into slumber.
Then the Earth was engulfed in Flames of War. A black giant bird was hidden in the dark, with a ferocious appearance.
There was also a Deer-shaped Pokémon and a bird-like, dragon-like Pokémon teaming up against a black giant bird.
During the Battle, a section of the Deer-shaped Pokémon's Horn, which emitted Seven-Colored Light, was severed. One piece of it transformed into a Green Gem and was lost on the Battlefield.
The Scene shifted. In an unknown Cave, a Diancie and a Delphox lived together. They seemed to have spent a very long Time together.
In an unknown Mountain Forest, the Deer-shaped Pokémon was severely injured and dying. Delphox and Diancie saw it, and finally, Diancie sacrificed itself to save the Deer-shaped Pokémon.
The Scene shifted again. The Deer-shaped Pokémon seemed to share its Life Force with Delphox, and finally, it transformed into an Ancient Tree and slumbered in the Mountain Forest.
There were many other chaotic Scenes that appeared in Bai Ye's mind, making its Head feel like it was about to explode.
"Gardevoir!!!"
After screaming, Bai Ye suddenly opened its eyes. The Scenes in its mind disappeared, and the headache was gone. It looked blankly at the Diamond in its hand, and then at the Green Gem embedded at the bottom of the Pond.
At this time, neither of the two Things was glowing anymore.
Recalling the Scenes that appeared in its mind, Bai Ye felt that the Green Gem at the bottom of the Pond seemed to be a section of the Deer Horn that had broken off from that Deer-shaped Pokémon.
"Oh Toh~" Bai Ye, what's wrong?
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" I'm fine.
Bai Ye shook its Head and said.
Trevenant breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
That night, Bai Ye didn't sleep. It tightly held the Pink Diamond in its hand, feeling the Power within it, and recalling the Ability of the Energy in the Pond. Subconsciously, it began to channel its Origin Energy to imitate the Fluctuation Frequency of that Energy.
However, no matter how Bai Ye Tried, it couldn't make its Origin Energy possess the same Ability as that Energy.
It wasn't until the Sun was about to rise that Bai Ye slowly closed its eyes.
What Bai Ye didn't know was that the Instant it closed its eyes, a special fluctuation flashed across its Body.
Although it was only for an Instant.
Bai Ye barely slept all night, and neither did Bai Feng. In the morning, he got up with a pair of large Dark Circles.
Everyone knew why, because Bai Ye didn't come Home last night.
Bai Ye only came back around Noon. It originally thought Bai Feng would lose its Temper at it, but in reality, Bai Feng didn't do anything, and its attitude towards it was still the same as before.
This instead made Bai Ye feel uncomfortable. Your Mom didn't come Home all night, aren't you worried?
For a moment, the Atmosphere between the mother and child became a bit strange.
When the other Pokémon Discovered this, they just felt that this mother and child were baffling. Was it necessary?
However, this strange Atmosphere between the mother and child didn't last long before returning to normal, because Bai Ye simply couldn't stand the Atmosphere. After only half a day, it took the initiative to make up with Bai Feng.
But making up was one thing, and whether it would happen again was another. Because the next night, Bai Ye didn't come Home again.
Bai Feng was almost angered to death by it. What the heck? Are you planning to live permanently in their territory?
But even if Bai Feng had more Opinions, it was useless. From then on, Bai Ye would stay overnight at Trevenant's every few days. After coming Home, it would again take the initiative to be affectionate with Bai Feng.
Bai Feng couldn't get angry, but couldn't help but feel angry. It was really difficult.

In a Mountain Forest east of Flourishing Mountain, a Pidove was being chased by a group of Spearow. It was carrying a black Stone on its Back. No matter how many times it encountered danger, it never thought of giving up that Stone.
