Everyone Wishes They Could Go Back in Time, Although Probably Not Like This

This is one of those times where using an eraser can be considered an art:
Pokemon: Celebi
Ability: Chrono Trigger
Chrono Trigger is an ability that allows the user to travel 5 seconds back into the past. However, this doesn't mean it rewinds everything that happened up to that point, rather, it causes the user to reappear in the same position he/she was in 5 seconds ago while the rest of the world continues in normal time. This is tremendously useful whenever the user receives damage because he/she can just rewind him/herself to 5 seconds ago when he/she was perfectly fine. There is a cooldown time though, approximately 30 seconds must pass before the user can use Chrono Trigger again. Celebi likes to play around with this ability, confusing and annoying whoever the hell he wants. He knows how to use it pretty effectively in battle too.

  1. In other words... It's like creating clones?

  2. Um...nope. It's like he can push himself back in time 5 seconds ago. Imagine this situation:
    Celebi is running. After 5 seconds, he gets cut by a sword. Celebi activates Chrono Trigger, bringing his body back to the running position he was in 5 seconds ago, as if he was never sliced at all.
    It works like that.

  3. Ah, so there's no afterimage left behind?

  4. No physical afterimage anyway.
    If your eyes are slow, they might continue to see a sort of afterimage after Chrono Trigger is activated but that's more of an optical illusion than an actual clone. Kinda like how when you stare at something for too long and abruptly turn your head to look at a blank surface, you'll still see the object there.
