Hah...hah...
"Is it still far?" I grumbled, dragging myself along the steep forest path.
"We're almost there~, you can do it, Noah." (｡-∀-)♪
Both my companion said while cheering me up, not at all tired unlike me.
It's already been four years since I come to this world, and many things have changed since then.
Like, how both Bunnelby and Kirlia become stronger and reached their final evolution..
"You've been saying that for almost thirty minutes now, but when are we going to get there, I'm tired. 😫 "
Ok, you might think I was whining, but no, we were walking for three hours straight now since dawn. Nevertheless we haven't seen our destination yet.
They might forget, but come on, I'm just a weak 4-year-old human kid, not like these Pokemon. If I were a normal kid, I would have passed out long ago.
And as for where we are going?
Remember how Arceus asked me something shortly after I was born into this world? Well, it's time to fulfill that request.
"Is it here?"
After walking for quite some time, we finally arrived at the entrance to a cave.
However, unlike most caves, this one appeared to be man-made, with symbolic carvings adorning the sides of its entrance.
"Yes, the place you're looking for is inside this cave," Gardevoir said beside me.
More walk huh... Looking at the how we can only see darkness from here, it's seems to be a deep one.
"How about I carry you there?" Diggersby offered, seeing his friend's condition worsen.
Hearing that, I could only nod, thinking I couldn't walk anymore.
Seeing Noah agree, Diggersby picked him up with one arm and placed him on his shoulder before continuing into the cave.
While we walk ,Gardevoir casted the move Flash , bringing light to the otherwise dim cave.
Even though we walked inside, we didn't encounter a single pokemon along the way.
There's only the sound of footsteps and and the wind as far as I can hear.
After some time passed, we finally reached the deepest part, where we could see a large circular ancient building inside the cave.
It's wall is covered with plants, but the building stood tall without any visible cracks in the surface.
At the entrance of the building, beside the door, stood two large Golurks guarding the door.
As Noah and the others approached, they both began to turn their heads to recognize the intruder.
"Wait, we have permission from the Elder" Gardevoir stopped them as they were about to attack them.
The Golurks looked at each other for a moment before they pushed the door open.
After the door opened, Diggersby let Noah down.
"We can only follow you here; you go on without us, we'll wait here." After that Diggersby and Gardevoir went to the side of the entrance while waving at him to leave.
Seeing them like that, he had no choice but to go in alone.
***
After Noah entered the building, Gardevoir and Diggersby started chatting with each other. They wanted to include those Golurk but seeing no response from them , they had to give up.
"What do you think happened inside?" Diggersby looked at the building anxiously.
Gardevoir, hearing Diggersby's question, couldn't help but recall their conversation yesterday.
Noah suddenly asked them to take him to a certain place even though they never told him about that place.
The place he asked for was something that was known to all the Pokemon inhabiting this forest, but because the Golurks were guarding the entrance, no one except the chosen Pokemon knew what was inside.
Besides, you need permission to enter there.
That's why it's a surprise hearing Noah suddenly said he want to come here
"Just trust him," Gardevoir said, staring at the building.
***
The inside of the building resembled a library.
That's what I thought as soon as I entered. Rows upon rows of bookshelves lined the floor, filled with countless book in them.
The building had three floors, and in the center stood a giant sphere-shaped object that looked like it was made of ice.
Something inside me urged me to approach the ball, and so I did.
But as I approached it, I could feel it, this giant thing was alive, or at least the thing inside it was alive, because I could hear a voice speaking to me inside my head.
" Welcome to my library, child from another world."
This is the second time I've been called that, meaning whatever is inside is at least related to Arceus.
"Who are you? "
I got closer to the ball until it was within arm's reach.
"Relax , young man. I just want to help you adapt to this world."
The voice in my head sounded androgynous.
"What do you mean?"
I was confused by its words. After all, Arceus only said to came here so I could learn more about his request. So, is there a connection?
" The request that you come for, I can tell you about it, but you need to first know about the world beyond this forest first. "
It patiently answered my questions.
I pondered its words for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, I understand, so how do you plan in order for me to obtain information about this world?"
Do I need to go outside this forest first? I can't help but think like that. In order for me to stay in this world , I need to complete Arceus request after all.
" Don't worry I won't ask you something impossible for the current you. All you need to do is to read all the book inside this library ."
The sphere said reading books from the entire library seemed easy. Besides, isn't this place an ancient building? I doubt the information in the book, because it's obviously an old book, isn't it outdated?
As if reading my mind, the sphere continued speaking.
"All the books here are copies of books published outside, and are still being updated with the latest information, and also the content must be useful without a single fake one because I use my power to collect only the useful ones.
So young one , will you accept this challenge?"
Hearing that, I looked around. This place had three floors, and bookshelves lined the entire room. It would take me a long time to read them all. So, should I do it or not? I smiled because I already knew the answer.
"Of course, I accept" (^_^)
I smiled confidently as I started the challenge.
