"Are you okay? Wake up~"
Gary felt as though he had a hangover, his head muddled into a mass of paste.
A voice kept calling beside his ear.
A glimmer of light appeared before his eyes. Gary slowly opened them and found himself lying in someone's arms.
"Thank goodness, you're finally awake." A handsome young man who bore some resemblance to Gary appeared before him.
"Hiss~ Got up too fast." Gary abruptly sprang upright, staring at the person before him in bewilderment.
"Did you save me?" Gary asked tentatively.
"Yeah, I saw you passed out in front of the forest shrine, so I carried you out." The boy gave a sunny smile. "Hi, I'm Yukinari."
Gary wore a strange expression. "I see... so you're that charming old man of mine..."
"Old man?" Yukinari looked at Gary in confusion.
"Nothing~ I'm Gary." Gary waved a hand. "Have you seen a pink Celebi?"
"Celebi? A pink one, too?" Yukinari's mouth fell open in surprise. "You've seen one? Please, you have to let me observe it!"
Gary scratched his head. This timeline was a little confusing. Could it be that his grandfather hadn't met Celebi yet?
"Woof!" While Gary was deep in thought, a bark suddenly rang out, followed by a green figure flashing over his and Yukinari's heads.
"That's Celebi! Is Houndoom chasing her?" Yukinari exclaimed.
"Woof... awoo~" Houndoom also leaped up, trying to pass over Gary's head.
Young Master Mao flicked open a Poké Ball with his other hand. Aerodactyl immediately caught Houndoom in its jaws, turned, and hurled it to the ground.
"Cradily! Bind!" Gary stood up and threw another Poké Ball with his right hand.
Smack! Cradily caught the red figure launching a sneak attack, then awaited Gary's orders.
"Do whatever you like." Gary smiled and waved a hand.
