"Sheer! Come here!" The Riolu turned to see his trainer running towards him, a purple pokéball in her hand. "What's that?" He asked, curiously. "Your new team mate! You know Snow? She traded her for Flint! Apparently, she's been wanting a Ponyta for a while." "Well... What is she?" "I'll show you." Maria threw the Pokéball in the air.

"Go, Serendipity!" A white flash obscured his vision. When he could see again, he looked to see a Kirlia standing in front of him. "...Where am I?" She asked. "You were traded. I'm Maria, your new trainer! Wanna meet the rest of the team?" "Um... Sure," she replied.

Maria threw three pokéballs in the air. "Go! Pixie, Spirit, and Basil!" The Uxie, Mesprit, and Turtwig materialized. "Hm?" Pixie yawned. "I was napping..." "Who's the new team member?" Basil asked, a little too loud. "He's a Piplup, of course," said Spirit, completely serious.

"I'm a GIRL! AND I'M A KIRLIA!" "...Nope, you're a Dodrio." "ANYWAY," Sheer interrupted before it could escalate, "I'm Sheer. Nice to meetcha!" He put his hand out, and Serendipity shook it.

"Do you have a nickname? Serendipity is kinda long." "Yeah," She replied. "Serene." "Serene..." Sheer repeated. "That's a pretty name!" "There's finally another smart pokémon on the team..." Pixie muttered.

"Anyway, Serene needs some training to catch up to you guys. She's holding an everstone until Sheer evolves. Don't be mean to her!" Maria walked away, leaving the pokémon to chat amongst themselves.

"Did your old trainer treat you well?" Sheer asked his new friend. "No. Well, yes. Sorta. I was caught, stored, and after a year, I was traded." "That must be bad... I've never been in my pokéball for a long time, and NEVER in a PC box!" "That must be fun... I was Rare-Candied to level thirty. I was just another Kirlia caught while my trainer was trying to get a shiny one."

"Anyway, what about you?" "Well, my trainer named Skye sent me to Maria as an egg.".

"Guys, stop chatting! We needa go train for Wake!"
