Part 33: Day 14 - Great Canyon (13F)
Yes! We finally made it to the top, Jake! So this is the Hill of the Ancients...
Look! Over there!
Jake! Is that Xatu over there?
Excuse me? Are you maybe Xatu?
...
Hello?......Maybe he doesn't hear me? Hello?!.........
Hellooooooooooooooo?!............
It's useless. He's not responding at all. Maybe he's sleeping while on his feet? Jake, what should we do?
Here, you can choose whether Sheldon should tickle or attack the Xatu. They both reach the same destination, and they're both funny, so...Choose your own adventure!
If Jake tells Sheldon to tickle the Xatu, skip to the next one of me you see!Hah? We're gonna attack?
Uh, no! No way! I mean, he's kind of creepy! It'd be scary for sure!
...Oh, all right. You really want me to do this.If something happens to me, promise you'll help me. I'm counting on you.
All right. Counting down. Three... Two... One... Now...!If Jake told Sheldon to attack the Xatu, skip to the next one of me you see!Hah? Tickle him? ...Okay. I'll try it.Tickle, tickle, tickle.......Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.............Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle..............................................................Tickle, tickle, tickle......gasp, gasp...
It's useless, Jake. I'm not getting any response....snort...Huh?...snort... giggle... bufufufufufufufufu...
He finally started laughing. Maybe... is he just dense?This ends the interactive portion of this chapter!Kwaaaaaaaaah!Yikes!Witness it... the sinking of the sun...
I am Xatu. You discerned my true identity... You are not an ordinary sort...Guessed your identity? That's a bit much....No. I can tell this. You there. You are no ordinary Pokémon. You are... human, yes?Huh?! How can you tell that?!All day... I stare at the sun unblinking. It gives me sight for all things. The past and the future, too.Then, you've got to tell us, Xatu! This is my friend Jake... My friend woke up one morning as a Pokémon. Without remembering anything as a human being, too. Xatu, you can tell, can't you? Can't you tell us?...The calamities of nature. There have been many in recent times. They occur because the world's balance is upset. And your becoming a Pokémon... They are tied together. Inseparably so.Wait. Jake becoming a Pokémon and... the natural disasters... are related?!What do you mean?! What does Jake have to do with the natural disasters we've been seeing?...What is it?! Hey?! Why did you clam up? Come on, tell us, please!There are bigger concerns... I am afraid... The world's balance... It must be restored. Or the unthinkable shall befall our world.Wh-what did you say? The world... The unthinkable is going to happen?Every day I see it. The same future every day... I dread it...Xa-Xatu...I fear it... the world's destruction.The world's destruction...?
Kekeh! Isn't that a surprise!
That Jake... was human...
That's going to be useful! This should be interesting! Kekeh!
