Waking from its slumber with a yawn, Celebi had been about to secretly send Heiduo back to his original time when its expression suddenly froze.
"Sending someone through time and space without their knowledge isn't the right thing to do, is it, Celebi?"
A large hand gently stroked Celebi's onion-skin-like fur.
Heiduo's smiling face appeared behind Celebi's head. "Looks like you can't 'foresee' little things like this, can you, sleepy Celebi? Is your head filled with nothing but major events? Like the hundreds of people who died this time?"
Celebi's foresight came from its ability to travel through time and space—it had supposedly experienced those events before. Perhaps it could also share memories with other Celebi that had traveled through time, whether they were its original self or not.
But a living creature's memory was limited. It could not remember every single detail of everything.
And time had many possibilities.
Celebi probably only remembered giving Heiduo two Key Stones in the "past," but could not remember a trivial matter like oversleeping while Heiduo woke up first.
After all, its habit of oversleeping posed no threat to it, not even with Heiduo involved!
"Lafi~"
Celebi forced a sweet smile at Heiduo. No matter what, it could not keep up a cold and aloof demeanor around this outsider, which was rather helpless.
Whether in the past, future, or present.
"Fine, if you're sending me back, then send me back. But why sneakily send me back?" Heiduo woke Typhlosion and Umbreon. Amid their yawns, he lowered his head and thought for two seconds. "...You don't want me to see my own future and past?"
Just like the "wormholes" showing Pryce and Gold's pasts after they entered the Spacetime Tunnel, although the Spacetime Tunnel had not shown scenes from their futures, did that mean
