Hikaru had no idea about the "Hero Snatching Ga" going on within the Dream Workshop.
Hearing Turtwig's voice outside, Hikaru beca certain of one thing.
This ti, the one who triggered the Dream World was Turtwig.
Perhaps because Turtwig was not sleeping beside him, Hikaru didn't see Turtwig when he entered the Dream Workshop. But the voice ca from...
Near the Dream Sky Island, there were paths connecting to other floating islands. Hikaru saw two roads: one led to the floating forest island where Dragonspiral Tower was located, and the other led to an ancient city and cave island.
"Dragonspiral Tower and the Ancient City, huh? But there's also a third road."
Hikaru looked toward a small path on the left. A rainbow bridge extended to a third floating island, which featured mountains, snowy fields, and a dilapidated temple.
Boom! From the distant snowy field of the third floating island, a blinding light beam erupted! That was "SolarBeam"!
"Is it fighting a Pokémon from the dream?"
—Dreamy Snowfield—
Turtwig was shivering all over, unable to understand why it ended up in such a place!
It was terribly afraid of ice and snow!
"Tur? Tur!"
Where was Doublade, Lilligant, Regirock, Unown, and its trainer? They were all missing!
How did it suddenly get thrown into this place? Did that an it was abandoned?
Turtwig trembled, and the leaf on its head drooped down, its emotions hitting rock bottom as despair overwheld it.
But even if it was abandoned, couldn't it have been abandoned in a better place...? This place was really cold...
Thud!
Turtwig walked with its head down, emo and filled with self-doubt. Suddenly, it bumped into sothing, causing it to shake its head. It felt soft, then looked up.
A Pokémon resembling a standing rabbit appeared before it. But...
"Tur, Tur!!!"
Such... such a big head!
The silver-gray rabbit had a gigantic crowned head, resembling a dark green bud, staring at Turtwig with wide eyes!
『Why have you appeared in my dream? The plant on your back... Let take a look.』
"Tur! (SolarBeam!)"
Without a second thought, Turtwig unleashed a SolarBeam, blasting the crown-wearing Pokémon away in an instant!
Fortunately, this was the Dream World, and everyone here was a Grass-type Pokémon. Calyrex shook its head and floated back up, leaving Turtwig's mouth wide open in shock, unable to make a sound!
『Attacking with SolarBeam right away... Was it a reflex? But the power of that SolarBeam is remarkable. Are you carrying a Power Herb?』
『Wait, I've seen you before.』 Calyrex's gaze suddenly sharpened as it uttered the classic line from an RPG ga.
Indeed, it had seen this before!
When Calyrex was feeling emo in Galar, it used its weak psychic power to peer into the distant sacred city and saw its doll, greatly improving its ntal state.
After that, to preserve its remaining strength and to rest better, Calyrex entered a secondary sleep while holding its lingering regrets.
And then, sothing miraculous happened.
Strange faith-based energy began gathering from all corners of the world. This faith energy ca from people who possessed psychic powers, which greatly puzzled Calyrex. And as the King of Bountiful Harvests, it could clearly recognize that it was in a dream and could sense the sources of faith even while dreaming!
『The faith of those powerful psychics allowed to recover my strength quickly. I wanted to end this dream, but the psychic power I regained allowed to foresee that sothing I longed for might happen if I stayed in the dream. So, I continued to wait here.』
『I saw you at that workshop.』
Calyrex also attempted to observe its "followers" in the dream, but since most of them were psychics, its attempts were mostly ineffective as their ntal barriers shielded them.
This left Calyrex a bit frustrated.
Its attempts at observation were not out of any weird curiosity or strange hobby. It was rely trying to see if its followers needed any help from it!
If only they would ask, it could grant their wishes... well, maybe not right now, but it could at least make a promise to fulfill their desires once its power was fully restored!
Moreover, rather than observation, it was more like sensing through psychic power. During its peak, it could perceive everything from the past, present, and future. But now... its power had weakened to the point where it could only watch from a distance.
However, even if it couldn't see the followers themselves, it could still see their Pokémon. And among its followers, the earliest one — the "Craftsman Follower" — had this Turtwig by its side!
『Your master, is he a craftsman who can create miraculous dolls?』
Calyrex asked with an excited tone. Turtwig looked surprised, asking how Calyrex knew. When Calyrex confird Hikaru's existence, its gratitude and excitent could no longer be contained!
『So that's the good thing my psychic power predicted... My wish has co true in the Dream World. If you made it here, that ans the craftsman's dream is nearby. Can you take to him? I want to thank him.』
『Although I am still a bit weak, thanks to the craftsman's help, my power is gradually recovering. Waking up from deep slumber was all thanks to his efforts!』
Turtwig looked puzzled.
You're related to us? But we've never seen you near the workshop! Are you like Giratina, living inside a mirror or sothing?
『I am not near your workshop. I reside in Galar, a place far away from your land. Long ago, I was known as the King of Bountiful Harvests. Just a wave of my hand could make the earth fertile, soil rich, flowers bloom, and all Pokémon and humans would worship with devotion. But due to certain events, I lost my power, my steed left , and humans no longer believed in . Fortunately, thanks to your master's help, I could restore my power within the dream.』
『As for Giratina, I am unfamiliar with it.』
Calyrex recounted its glorious past and current difficulties, but Turtwig didn't hear any of that. It only realized one thing: this was a dream!
Which ant it was not abandoned!
Yes! The leaf on Turtwig's head imdiately perked up:
"Tur!"
After all that talking, can you help find my trainer?
『My power can help you establish a ntal connection with your master. All you need to do is let touch you.』
Turtwig's eyes sparkled with excitent.
But there was still one more thing.
『What else do you want to ask?』
Calyrex looked at the gleaming-eyed Turtwig with so confusion. And then, Turtwig asked the ultimate question it had wanted to ask all along.
Calyrex, Calyrex, why is your head so big?
『...』
Turtwig didn't receive an answer. But it didn't care. It only asked if that big head was so sort of precious plant.
If that was the case... then could you...
Calyrex: 『?』
Monts later, when Hikaru entered the snowy floating island in search of Turtwig, he quickly saw this scene.
A small turtle was running across the snowfield, with Calyrex riding on its back. Its giant head swayed back and forth in the snow, looking like a miniature version of Torterra.
Calyrex — riding on Turtwig.
