"The Time Gears are gone?!
They're the key to reliably fighting Dark Dialga and saving the world! If they're lost or fall into enemy hands, the consequences would be unthinkable!"
Ampharos immediately realized how serious the problem was. "They might still be near the beach. I'll go look!"
"I'll go with you!" Riolu immediately volunteered, eyes resolute.
"All right!" Ampharos didn't hesitate. Time was short. "Let's leave right away!"
He turned to Pink Celebi and Green Celebi and hurriedly told them, "Myuu!"
"Celebi, please take care of Grovyle! We'll come straight back once we find the gears!"
"Don't worry! Leave things here to us!" the two Celebi promised in unison.
Ampharos and Riolu immediately turned and dashed out of the cave like two bolts of lightning, running at full speed toward the northwestern coast the Lopunny had pointed out.
"Ama!" "Fufu!"
Steenee and Smoliv quickly followed them out. When it came to treasure hunting, that was their Fairy Tale Exploration Team's job!
"Wait for us!" Steenee called, pulling Smoliv along as she struggled to keep up with the two swiftly moving figures ahead.
Meanwhile, at Fairy Tale Ranch.
"Chirp, chirp."
Delibird landed steadily after returning from deliveries, accompanied by Pelipper, who had come to make a delivery.
"Kopa!"
Seeing that familiar, goofy smile, Tong Hua recognized Pelipper right away. This was the Pelipper belonging to Auntie Pang Da, who sold grain in the village.
"Long time no see! What happened the other day? Auntie even had to come deliver the goods herself."
"Kopa..." At the question, Pelipper suddenly looked away guiltily.
After handing the goods over to Tong Hua, Pelipper turned to leave, almost forgetting to collect the money...
Fortunately, Tong Hua had Aura and heard Pelipper's thoughts through Telepathy.
*Boohoo... I really can't admit that I ate so much
