The time was Eleven A.M, and the two were ready to hit the town. Enol was still feeling tired from his battle the night before, so Night allowed him to stay home, though he never liked to be without his partner.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I left Roseard with him; he'll be fine, so cheer up!"

"Ahh, you're right. I'm just not used to leaving him. Ever since we met, I've never left him out of my sight. Now, who's this "Professor Palm" anyway?" Night replied with half hearted interest.

"Hah, everybody around here knows her! She's our local Pokémon expert, sort of like the mainland ones…what're their names, I think it's something to do with rocks, but that's beside the point. Anyway, she's a bit strange, but hey, who isn't?! Anyway, apparently your girl Light has some business with her, and we may just have a spot in that too!"

"Well whatever it is, I'm… anxious about it." Night replied cautiously. He was never good at meeting new people, especially adults. The two hurried on until they reached the building. It was… strange. The Façade was brightly colored, as if someone had just flung cans of paint at it. The interior was just as strange. They were met at the door by Light. She was wearing a yellow blouse and denim shorts. Night smiled.

"You came! I'm so glad! Come along, hurry! Right this way" Light exclaimed, she led them down a corridor until they got to what appeared to be the main lab. When they reached the room, they looked to see a woman, blonde messy hair tied up in a bun, complete with a shredded lab coat and a Chatot attempting to fly around her.

"Ahh, Chatot. You're going to grow up big and strong, and you'll show all those other rotten Pokémon, won't you. Just let me fix up that wing, and you'll be well on your way."

"Erm… Professor? The trainers I mentioned are here to see you now." Light shouted followed by a whispered apology to the two

"Oh, huh? Oh yes, come right in, don't be shy! My name is Professor Palm, sorry about the appearance, I've had a rather exciting few days! Oh! Hm. Where did I put those… Oh yes! Wait no that's not it…"

"Uhm, Professor… Maybe you ought to tell these two why they're here… hah?" Light nervously mumbled" Night chuckled.

"Oh, yes! Quite right! Well, recently I've been recruiting some of Gale'ei's top trainers in order to take part in a little… experiment of mine. Recently a few of the Mainland Professors and I have been collaborating on a project, one that will allow us to discover more Pokémon than ever! We call it… the Pokédex! Personally I wanted the name Poképedia, but I was out ruled! Regardless, Light had told me quite a few things about you two, and so I think you'd be great for the job! Now! Let's get down to business. Tell me about yourselves!" The two described themselves to the Professor with as much detail as they chose to utilize. Night revealed little of his life before his departure, but he did mention the departure itself.

"Oh! Oh oh oh! How strange! You know you are the second person I've met from that same plane? He's registered for the League as well! Oh he's a tough one. I forgot his name… must not be important, but watch out for that boy! Anyway! Here is you Pokédex as well, I'm sure that you'll find it more than easy to handle… and hey, I guess I owe you don't I. After all, you did save my daughter last night!" Night looked over at Light, who merely smiled and shrugged

"Uhm, Light is your daughter, ma'am? Night added quietly

"Oh yes! Well… I'm her godmother, but… well I digress. Anyhow! I owe you, and I think I know just what to give you. Last night, that package you rescued along with Light, it contained three fairly rare Pokémon! I want you to have one, go on don't be shy. What would you like? Calichick, the grass type? Puppyre the Fire type… no… I see it in you! You'd like this one, Harpool! It's truly a fascinating specimen, er I mean Pokémon!

Following Palm's little speech, Night found the small Pokémon rubbing up against him, as if he knew what Night had done for him.

"Haha, Hey there! How about it, would you like to join me?" Night gently chuckled as he bent down to address his new companion. Harpool bounced as best he could, and from then on, Night was the owner of Harpool.

"Hey, if you two aren't busy, do you maybe want to get something to eat? I'm starving!" Light cried out with joy. She hadn't eaten for awhile, and showed no shame in showing it. Night's heart skipped a beat, so Day accepted for him. Professor Palm shot a glance towards light.

"You guys go on, I have to finish up a little bit of work here though, I'll be right there. Light added apologetically. Eventually they found themselves in some diner a few blocks down. The weather was forgiving, so they decided to eat outside on the patio.

"Well wasn't that something! Second day here you've already got yourself a new Pokémon." Day exclaimed, having barely said a thing in the lab he was itching for conversation

"Yeah, it was kind of weird, but I think it'll work out well. I've never seen a Harpool before, so it'll be good to work with this one.

"Yeah! Which… brings me to another point" Light declared slightly more seriously

"Soon… very soon, I'm leaving Curaca. I'm beginning my journey as a Pokémon trainer. It's always been my dream, to take on the league. It's a dream my parents passed on, as they never had a chance…"

"That's great! It's always good to have a dream. Something to keep you going! Though, of course you know. The Pokémon league is no joke; it takes a lot of work, a lot of skill. It'll be difficult. Day interrupted confidently

"Well, that's just it. It'll be very hard, and I don't want to do it alone. I probably couldn't if I tried, you saw me the other night. I crumpled out there. That's why... Well, I've talked it over with Palm, and we both were thinking… Maybe you two would like to go with me? I know it's sudden but I could really use the help, and you two are the only…" This time Night interrupted. After a tacit agreement, Day had decided he's going with Night regardless, what did he have to lose? Night answered for both of them

"We'd love to." He said with a smile, briefly gaining some confidence

"Really?! Oh wow! That's fantastic! I… I'm going to go tell Palm! I uh. I didn't actually think you'd say yes! Oh this is just great! Uhm. Uhm… See you later!" Light quickly left the restaurant and ran her way back to the Professor. She finally had a chance to achieve her dream.

"Haha, would you look at that? You've done a good thing, Night" Day chuckled as he began to pull out his wallet

"No no sir, this is on the house." Exclaimed their waitress.

"Uhm, Why?" Day asked, clearly puzzled.

"Don't you think we know? You're the two who drove Polaris out of this town! You're practically heroes around here! The meal is on the house, you too come back any time, you hear?" The waitress cried as the two confusedly exited the patio.

"Wow, you've really made a name for yourself around here, haven't ya? Can't believe it was just yesterday I yelled at you for not knowing who Orion was, wait… ORION! We're missing his appearance! He was going to fight a lucky few trainers today! Come on, hurry! Let's go!"

"I really don't see what there is to love about this Orion, but if it matters that much, I suppose, hah" Night barely finished speaking before being yanked along by Day. They rushed to the town square; where they saw Orion in another flamboyant outfit. This one was a tight pink blouse, black tights, and he wore a star on his shoulder. It looked familiar. Orion had just finished a battle with one boy, and then began a new one. This boy looked familiar.

"Well, If you insist. I wouldn't expect you to battle a random trainer, seeing your class. But how about battling the former champion of Johto? Name's Frost." The boy stated. The crowd erupted into gasps.

"Arrogant…" Night muttered.

The Fight had begun, the two began to usher commands, when suddenly Orion's Pokémon, a Solrock, released an enormous inferno. It quickly engulfed the entire field.

"It's over." Day added confidently, but what happened next shocked everybody. The trainers Pokémon, a Shuckle, launched out of the flames and barreled right into the Solrock. The crowd was silent. Orion was backed into a corner. The Shuckle continued its onslaught; the Solrock was powerless to stop it. Orion, apparently having some sense of concern, forfeited the match… well, sort of.

"That is it! I think we are done with our battle. I say we reconcile with a tie. Don't you agree?" Orion declared with just as much confidence as ever. The crowd exploded into cheers, some involving how amazing Orion is, others how merciful he is to go easy on the kid. The crowd had cleared, leaving only Day, Night, and the boy.

Night looked at him in a combination of envy and fear. One day, they would have to battle.

"Frost… " Night muttered. It was either Frost or Night. One day they would battle, and there would be one victor

"I need to start training" Night whispered to day as they made they way back to they're home.
