Destiny, Havis and Sabio were walking down the streets of Jubilife City, about to leave for the Oreburgh Gym. Destiny kept thinking about the strange events that happened earlier. "Maybe it was Looker who threw that Pokémon in my lap."

"Did you say something, Destiny?" Havis looked up to her. Destiny hadn't told them about the strange Pokémon she was carrying with them. For unknown reasons, she decided it would be better not to tell them about it just yet. "What? I said nothing."

Havis shrugged. "I guess it was just my imagination then..." Destiny walked down the stairs, leaving Jubilife City behind. But just as she was about to enter the grassland, a voice from behind her made her stop.

"Eh, miss?" Destiny turned around, recognizing the voice. It was the Shinx they encountered earlier! It was staring at the ground, as if it was trying to avoid making eye contact. "I'm sorry for what I said before. It was very rude of me to decline your offer to join like that. I'm too weak to take care of myself, and I don't have any parents. Could you please forgive me?"

Destiny kneeled down before the Shinx. A smile appeared on her face. "There's no need to be so formal, relax a bit. I really want you to join as well, so I think we have a deal. Tell me, what's your name?"

"Thank you so much, I will try my best to be a great addition to your team. My name is C-Cis." He looked up, and saw Destiny's bright blue eyes. He tried to look away, but Destiny noticed it and laughed. "Well then, that's a deal. C-Cis, welcome to the team. We're heading for Oreburgh City, so if you want to stay with us, follow me!"

Destiny walked through the grassland, with now three Pokémon following her, excluding the bud Pokémon in her backpack. Not much later, they came across a cave entrance. "Please don't tell me we have to go trough this cave..."

Sabio smirked. He figured that Destiny probably didn't like caves a lot. "The Sinnoh region is full of caves, so you'd better get used to it!" Destiny moaned. "Great. Well, let's just get this over with then."

They entered the dark cave. Destiny had quite some trouble traversing the cave, with lots of falling and getting up again. When they finally reached the end, Destiny had scratches all over her arms and legs. She looked as if she had been in a fight with an angry cat.

Havis, who had been running all the time to keep up with Destiny, sat down and sighed. "Finally, we've reached Oreburgh. I can't feel my legs anymore..." Destiny picked him up. "You've been walking for a long time now, haven't you? Don't worry, I'll carry you for a while. We should be reaching the Pokémon Gym soon.

In the distance, she could already see a building, with the letters "GYM" on the front. However, as she got closer, she noticed a tall man blocking the Gym door. "What would he be doing there?"

C-Cis ran ahead. "There's only one way to find that out!"
