Our heroes spend the night at the local Pokémon Center, but Kasai isn't the only restless one. Mimi still can't stop thinking about her fight with Kurai. She tosses and turns in her bed.
"He pinned me down. He had the upper hand. Kurai could've finished me off, but he didn't. Why?" Mimi had questions that kept running through her head. "But why did his eyes seem so familiar? I feel like I've seen them before." Mimi looked up at the ceiling. "Why am I so concerned with him?! He's the enemy! I can't let my thoughts get in the way of that." Mimi tries to fall back to sleep.
The next morning, the members of Team Nova all met in the Breakfast area.
"So what's our next step?" Yuki questions.
"Well I think we should call Master Giratina and tell him what we've found out. Then he'll tell us what our next move is." Kasai states.
"That sounds like a good idea. I'll go call him now. I'll call over when I got him on the line." Kuroko states. He gets up out of his seat and walks over to the phones. Kasai continues to look at his food.
"Hey Kas-" Yuki started.
"Yuki." Miuki states while she shakes her head.
"Yo guys!" Kuroko yells. The team gets up out of their seats and heads towards the phone.
"Master Giratina!" Kasai yells.
"It's good to see you again. So how have you four been since you left?" Master Giratina questions.
"Actually, there are seven of us now sir." Xander explains.
"Oh really, and who are the other 3?" Master Giratina states.
"You know one of them." Kuroko states.
"I do now?" Master Giratina questions. Miuki steps up to the screen.
"Hi Master!" Miuki beams.
"Miuki? Is that really you?!" Master Giratina questions.
"Yes sir, it's been a while hasn't it?" Miuki questions.
"8 years I think. So who are the others?" Master Giratina questions. Mimi and Yuki walk up to the screen.
"My name is Mimi, and this is my twin sister Yuki. It's very nice to meet you sir." Mimi introduced.
"It's very nice to meet the two of you. So, what did you find out from Yoru?" Master Giratina questions. Xander explains everything that Yoru told them and Master Giratina takes it to a shock. "They're trying to revive Arceus?! What are they thinking?!"
"Master please quiet down, people are starting to stare." Miuki states.
"I'm sorry." Master Giratina states. Master Giratina notices that Kasai is distracted. "I'm forgot. Xander, Riley, Mimi, Yuki, do you mind if I talk with Kuroko, Kasai, and Miuki in private for a bit please?"
"Sure thing." Riley states. The four of them walk away and the other 3 stare at the screen.
"So why did you wanna talk to us in private?" Miuki questions.
"Kasai, could you tell me what today's date is?" Master Giratina replies. Kasai looks at the screen and then looks at the floor.
"Master I don't -" Kasai was interrupted.
"What is the date?!" Master Giratina raised his voice.
"May 15th." Kasai replies. Miuki and Kuroko go wide eyed.
"That can't be." Miuki states.
"It is. Listen. I know what happened was tragic, but I don't blame any of you for what happened. Kasai, you've heard me say this so many times, but you still don't listen. It's not anyone's fault for what happened to Star. It was her time." Master Giratina explains.
"Why? Why was it her time?!" Kasai yells. "I don't know why she had to die, but she didn't deserve to!" Kasai's eyes have tears at the bottom. "Forget it." Kasai snapped, he ran back to his room.
"Kasai what's wrong?!" Xander yells after him as he chases him.
"Xander just drop it!" Kuroko yells. Xander stops dead in his tracks and looks over at Kuroko and Miuki. Yuki slowly walks over to Miuki.
"Miuki..." Yuki starts. Miuki looks down at Yuki. "I don't know what's going on or what's happened, but I hate to see my friends sad. I wanna see my friends happy!" Yuki confesses as she starts to cry.
"Oh Yuki." Miuki states. Miuki kneels down and hugs Yuki. After a while, everyone except Kasai was gathered in the lobby.
"Hey Miuki." Mimi questions.
"What is it Mimi?" Miuki states
"I understand if you don't wanna talk about it, but what happened on the phone with Master Giratina?" Mimi questions.
"Should we tell them?" Kuroko questions.
"They'll have to find out sooner or later." a voice states. Everyone looks back and sees Kasai standing above them.
"Kasai!" Riley yells in shock.
"But if I'm going to explain what happened, no one can talk. If I don't say it straight through, I'll stall and you won't be able to hear the whole thing." Kasai states with a stern voice.
"Alright." Xander agrees. Kasai takes a seat on the couch.
"About 10 years ago, Miuki, Kuroko, and I had a friend. Her name was Star, she was a Buneary. She was the sweetest girl I ever knew. She expected everyone as an equal. She was one of the only people who would actually talk to me. But the day I evolve from a Cyndaquil to a Quilava, everything changed. Star wanted to battle me, but I thought that I couldn't control my new power, so I told her no. She got really mad at me. She kept at it for weeks. I kept telling her no, even as I controlled by powers. But one day, something seemed off. I hadn't seen Star for the whole day. I knew something was wrong. My suspicions were corrected when Kuroko, who was only a Lairon at the time, told me something that I would never have believed. He told me that Star had fallen off the cliff trying to make herself stronger. No one found her body. But everyone in the Shadow Sector knew that no one could have survived a fall from that high. I shut myself out from everyone. I almost didn't attend Star's funeral. But Master Giratina dragged me there himself. Everyone was so sad. I couldn't look anyone in the eye after what I happened. I blamed myself for so long and I still do. If I had just let her fight me, none of this would have happened and Star wouldn't be dead." Kasai explains. Everyone looks at Kasai shocked. "Today is Star's Birthday, she would have been 16." Yuki runs up to Kasai and buries her head in Kasai's chest and starts to cry.
"I'm sorry Kasai! I didn't know you had it so hard!" Yuki screamed.
"I know it's none of my business either, but how come me and Riley didn't know about this?" Xander questions.
"Master Giratina didn't want people to worry. He kept everything a secret." Miuki explains.
"I see." Riley states. Everyone stays silent. The group doesn't say anything.
"But, I've learn to just face the facts and accept the fact that she's gone forever. She'll never come back no matter what." Kasai states. The group doesn't talk for the rest of the day and the rest of the day morning Star's death.
Now we travel to another part of the world in the Kalos Region. We meet a Lopunny watching her T.V. with what's up in the world. While she was flipping through channels, she finds a news report about a team who saved Clefairy and Cleffa from a Geodude and Graveler.
"Name's Kasai." Kasai introduces.
"Kuroko." Kuroko replies.
"Riley's the name!" Riley answers.
"My name is Xander." Xander replies.
"Now tell me, how did you rescue this Clefairy and Cleffa?" Ashley questions.
"To be perfectly honest, Riley just charged in and started attacking the kidnappers. I wanted to devise a strategy, but Riley wouldn't listen." Xander explained.
"Well if we took the time to devise a strategy, Biff and Butch would have gotten away!" Riley yells at Xander.
"Now, are you all part of a team, or just good samaritans?" Ashley questions.
"We are a part of a team." Kuroko explains.
"And might I ask the team name?" Ashley questions.
"We're Team Nova from the Pokémon Village on top of Mt. Coronet." Kasai explains.
At that instant, the Lopunny fell out of her seat and started to cry.
"Kasai." The Lopunny whispered. "It's been 10 years. I'm coming home."
