Clear, clean river water flowed merrily through the forest. Jumpluff drifted carefree among the trees, while swarms of Combee danced among the flowers.
Afternoon sunlight pierced the dense leaves and filtered through the woods, leaving oddly shaped patches of light on the ground piled thick with rotting leaves.
"Moo~"
Several Miltank grazed leisurely. Suddenly sensing something, they all turned toward the nearby waterfall.
Before long, the waterfall, like a river of stars, abruptly stopped. An irregular, dark purple crystal slowly floated out from behind it and hovered silently in midair.
At the sight of this wondrous scene, the Miltank were so frightened that they stopped eating and froze in place.
A moment later, the crystal suddenly blazed with light, and mysterious energy spread in all directions like ripples across water.
At that moment, the island shook. Countless Pokémon emerged from the forest and the sea, gathering here to pay homage.
At some point, a purple Gengar appeared on a rock with his hands behind his back.
He gazed into the distance, his eyes unfathomably deep. "A thousand years."
At the same time, those words echoed in every corner of the world.
The air near Gengar warped, and a small pink Pokémon rubbed her eyes and let out a huge yawn.
Sitting inside a bubble, Mew greeted Gengar. They had not seen each other for a long time since their last parting.
Just then, thunderous rumbling suddenly came from the horizon, and an avenue of pink diamonds stretched over from the edge of the sky.
Countless Carbink stood on either side as Princess Diancie descended along the diamond avenue, dressed in magnificent attire!
"Little Mew, old Gengar, hello."
Diancie greeted her two old friends with a smile.
Then she glanced around, her eyes filled with sorrow.
A thousand years had passed.
