Xia Chi didn't think he could stay in this ancient world for five days.
It wasn't that he thought the Paradox Pokémon here would kill him or anything.
With Ogerpon backing him up, sudden death was practically impossible unless Koraidon actually appeared and attacked them first.
His main concern was the time limit on this trip through space and time.
In the game's story, the professor Terapagos summoned from the past had stayed for only a short while before returning to his own timeline.
Clearly, even Terapagos couldn't sustain the energy expenditure of a prolonged journey through time.
Considering everything he had done since arriving, Xia Chi felt he had already been here quite a while.
He had another concern, too: the flow of time.
If five days in the ancient world also meant five days in the real world, that would be terrifying.
Xia Chi could already picture the bizarre scene of the professor coming into his room to look for him, only to find him and his Pokémon lying in a neat row on the floor.
Whatever the case, though, his first priority was finding the "Blood Moon Pool" Flutter Mane had mentioned.
As for how to find it, why bother someone else when he already had someone helping?
Xia Chi looked at Flutter Mane and asked, "Sister Mane, could you show us the way while you're at it?"
The principle of owing someone after accepting their food applied even in the ancient world. Flutter Mane considered it briefly, then nodded.
"Wooo~"
Fine, for the macarons' sake~
Delighted, Xia Chi dropped the act entirely and gave Flutter Mane every remaining macaron on the ground.
Flutter Mane: "..."
He just handed over all those precious macarons so casually?
Why did they suddenly feel a little less precious?
*Whatever. As
