DAISY'S POV

Daisy jumped as the dinner bell rang. She sighed, embarrassed with herself, as she walked to the table and sat in her chair. Bacon. Of course, she thought as she bit into the meat. It tasted delicious and warm on her tongue.

"Hi," Skye started, making her flinch. "I've been waiting to ask you this question for a while. Do you know where Team Waterfall is?"

The Umbreon sighed. Sky had asked her the same question. Why is everyone worrying about them? They've been gone for nearly two days. "They're in Smoky Woods. Who knows what's going on in that creepy place?"

Skye was about to reply, when a bell was rang. Daisy flinched again; dinner was already over?

Flame was standing over the table, anger and worry in her eyes. "Has anyone seen Snow, Eclipse, or Moon?" she demanded.

Daisy looked at her paws. She knew they were on a walk, but if the Charizard asked how she knew... Flame would give her a punishment for eavesdropping.

Everyone exchanged baffled glances; clearly they didn't overhear the three talking.

"Very well." The anger and worry changed to disappointment. "If they and Team Waterfall aren't back by tomorrow, I will send a search party. You may continue eating."

"Wow..." Skye said, dropping her jaw. "Smoky Woods is a scary place. No wonder we had to send a search party for Team Flash; now we have to send one for Team Waterfall?" She shuddered. "What if they're dead?"

Daisy's face fell. Sky had said the same thing. Why did everyone think they were dead? It was only a day. Were they scared of Smoky Woods that much?

"What if they're dead?" Skye repeated impatiently.

Sighing, Daisy ate another piece of her bacon. "I don't know," she answered in between chewing. "What if the sun never comes up tomorrow?"

"What?" the Ninetales asked, tilting her head.

"Nevermind," Daisy growled. "Let's just eat and not worry about anything, okay?"

Skye frowned. "What put you in a bad mood, Daisy?"

The Umbreon didn't answer.

"Well...Aren't you worried about River?"

Daisy perked her ears.

"Aren't you?" Skye insisted. "Don't you like him?"

Daisy glared at her friend. "What are you talking about?"

"Storm thinks you like River," Skye explained. "He's always muttering something under his breath and letting out angry huffs whenever you're talking with him."

Daisy rolled her eyes.

"It's true!" said Skye. "I think he's just jealous."

"There's nothing to be jealous of!" Daisy snarled. "We're just friends! I don't know what's up with him."

Skye frowned, changing the topic quickly. "Did you notice that it hasn't stopped raining? It started yesterday. It's almost been two days."

Daisy ate a chunk of bacon. "Mmm."

"I'm worried," Skye continued. "There may be more meteors. We might have one hit the Guild."

Daisy stared at her, urging her to keep on talking.

"I've been having these dreams..." Skye hesitated. "It was of a meteor not far from the Guild, in the same rainstorm that's occurring right now. You were in it, with Storm, and you were on patrol because it was a downpour out there. Then the meteor just fell and nearly hit the Guild, but someone was there... I couldn't tell who it was...but they were saving someone else from it, and they ended up dying."

"How come I haven't?" Daisy asked.

Skye looked at her paws. "The 'someone else' was a Houndoom. I think it was Eclipse. He would've died if..." Again, she hesitated."...if the other Pokemon didn't save him."

"And that other Pokemon died?" Daisy questioned.

Skye nodded.

"We have no proof that this is going to happen," pointed out Daisy. "It could be just a nightmare."

"I doubt it," Skye growled. "I've been having them for a week now."

Daisy frowned. Who's the Pokemon that will die? If this is true... "Well, don't worry about it right now. For all we know, it's probably just a nightmare."

"No." Skye shook her head. "I believe it's real. It's like someone is warning me to try to stop it from happening."

"To stop Eclipse from getting saved?" Personally, Daisy didn't care if the Houndoom died, even if he was a human, too.

"No... to stop the meteor from hitting the Guild."

Daisy sighed. "And how do you suppose we do that?"

"I don't know, but there must be a way," Skye replied.

Suddenly Daisy flinched. The bell rang again - dinner was over.

She sighed as she jumped down from the chair and walked over to Storm. "I'm going to try to find Snow, Eclipse, and Moon," she began. "Who knows what they're up to?"

Storm looked worriedly at the door. "Make sure there aren't any meteors."

Daisy rolled her eyes. "There won't be." She flicked her tail and walked over to the entrance, before being confronted by a Charizard.

"Where are you going?" Flame demanded. "I don't want another Guild member going missing!"

"I'm just going to find Snow, Eclipse, and Moon," the Umbreon replied. "Is that okay?"

Flame frowned. "Okay, but make sure no one tags along with you."

Daisy nodded. "I'll make sure."

As soon as Flame left, she pushed open the door and immediately got hit by rain. Squinting against the chilly drops, she padded onward toward the steep cliff that led toward Smoky Woods. Thank Arceus that's not the place we have to pass to reach Golden Hills. She took a sharp turn once she reached the entrance and walked toward the hills. A more earthier scent filled her nostrils and she sighed with relief as trees began to clear out into a large hill.

"Hey!" she heard a voice say. Was that Eclipse?

"You can't catch me!" another one teased. Snow.

As Daisy padded quicker into the moors, the voices became louder. "This game is fun!" squeaked Moon.

Finally, their shapes appeared in view. She crouched under a bush and watched as Eclipse flicked Moon with his tail. "Got you!"

Moon yelped and chased after him. Together, the three darted across the hills. Daisy smiled at the thought of doing that with River, or even Storm. But he's so grumpy and worried about meteors all the time.

Suddenly she snapped out of the thought and rose to her paws. "Hey!" she whispered to Moon, who was running towards her like a speeding bullet with Eclipse not far behind.

"No tag backs!" he was growling.

Moon skidded to a stop and stared at her in surprise. Eclipse followed right behind her and flicked his tail against her ear. "Got you. And Daisy, what are you doing here?"

Daisy hesitated for a moment. "Flame was wondering where you were, so I had to try and find you." No way was she going to admit she eavesdropped on their conversation. What if Eclipse told on her? He was the kind to tattletale.

Eclipse frowned. He exchanged a glance with Snow, who was padding up to them from the top of the hill. Before the Houndoom could reply, Snow murmured, "That's fine. We'll go with you."

Daisy swerved around the bush and sprinted toward the trees. Rain splattered all over her pelt as she jumped into the undergrowth. Bushes were dotted here and there, but it was mostly covered in trees. We're in Smoky Woods. But how did we get here?

"Where are we?" Snow muttered anxiously.

Eclipse glared at the trees. "Smoky Woods. How in the world did we end up here?"

Snow's gaze dropped to the ground. "This is the place where I got kidnapped!"

"The Raichus and Vaporeon are probably gone now," Daisy reassured her. But she wasn't convinced herself. If River and the others really were dead, what other mysteries were to be found in these woods?

RIVER'S POV

River noticed Shade's angry expression as he carried Blast down the steep hill farther into the woods. He couldn't blame the Empoleon. Night just ran off on his own, and he probably killed himself already, but Tackle was really annoying. The Bulbasaur darted down the path in search of his partner without giving the others a chance to catch up. He felt angry himself at the two members of Team Vine.

Shade didn't speak as the two trotted into even more undergrowth. River felt a tick land on his head, and he shook it off with a sigh. "This place is getting even more creepier," he said.

Blast looked up at the moon shining high above them. It was still red. "How about we stop for the night?" he suggested tiredly. The Squirtle's voice sounded hoarse.

Exasperated, Shade answered, "We still need to find Night and Tackle. If we lose them, what will we report to Flame?"

Blast didn't answer.

"Exactly. We have to keep moving. Blast, you're going to have to get off my back once we find them, because you're getting really heavy."

Blast groaned. "Come on, Shade!"

The Empoleon shook his head. "Before you know it, this mission will be over. Now keep moving," he grunted to River.

River glared at him, but followed anyway as they emerged into a grassy clearing. A small river lapped at the sandy shore as it entered a nearby lake. Trees closed in on either side. "Thank Arceus we're out of there," River said, relieved. Those woods were really creeping him out.

"Team Vine should be here somewhere," Shade muttered, keeping a close eye on every bush or reed they could find.

River jumped on the stepping stones and landed lightly on the bank. "Can you make it?" he yelled to Shade.

"Of course!" Shade growled back. "I'm not that weak!"

River rolled his eyes. He darted over to the lake and looked at his reflection in the water. Water hit his back; startled, the Buizel flinched and spun around. "Who's there?" he snarled.

Tackle was giggling from a honeysuckle bush. "You should've seen the look on your face!" he squeaked.

River glared at him. "Don't ever run away from us like that again!"

Tackle didn't reply, just said, "I couldn't find Night anywhere. Who knows where he is?"

A growl rumbled in River's throat and he leaned in. "If you had been watching him, none of this would've happened."

Tackle took a step back. "Woah, woah, woah. You didn't ask me to watch him, and neither did Shade! Why are you blaming me?"

River still stared at him as if he were a threat. "We had to go looking all over for you! Come along, now, and I'll make sure to tell Flame everything." He turned away to trot upstream.

"Ouch!" a squeak came from behind.

River turned around with a huff. "What is it now?"

Tackle glanced at his paws. The Buizel could see a small trickle of blood drop from his forehead. "Where did that come from?"

Tackle looked up at him again. "There was a...Vaporeon," he breathed.

River's heart sank. It's the Vaporeon Daisy was talking about to Moon, isn't it?

"She had a rope. It was literally floating in mid air! And then she chased me around before disappearing."

River growled to himself. "What if she got Night?"

"I-I don't know," Tackle whispered. "Maybe she found us when we were sleeping and took him."

"That is not good," River replied. "Let me tell this to Shade."

After the Empoleon walked over to them, River told him everything Tackle had said, and how the Vaporeon used her magic to make a rope appear out of nowhere.

Shade grunted. "So you think she took Night, huh?" He glared at the Bulbasaur.

Tackle shrank under his gaze. "Y-yes," he answered. "Isn't that a good reason?"

Shade stared at him even more. Then he glanced across the lake. "You're probably right. Let's go."

DAISY'S POV

Daisy looked worriedly at the cover of trees around them. "Let's head back and choose another way," she suggested. "I don't like the looks of this place."

"Like we don't know," Snow muttered; the Umbreon could tell she was trembling.

"Don't worry," Eclipse whispered to her, only loud enough for Daisy to hear if she perked her ears. "We'll be safe."

Moon whimpered and hid in between Snow's legs. "I hate Smoky Woods!"

"I know you do," Eclipse said. "But sometimes we have to go there."

Daisy lifted her chin, looking at the trees again. "Come on, let's head back."

"Who knows what Flame will say if we go missing like Team Waterfall and Vine?" Snow asked as they turned around.

Daisy shuddered. "Let's pray that doesn't happen."

"It's probably going to happen," Eclipse grunted.

Moon whimpered again.

"Don't think bad!" Daisy hissed at Eclipse. "You're going to scare Moon."

"I'm not a child!" Moon growled.

"Yeah, you are," Daisy pointed out.

"No, I'm not!" Moon retorted.

Snow walked in between the two. "What Daisy is trying to say is that you're a little young," she said gently.

"But I'm not!" Moon cried.

"Just shut up and let's get on with it," Eclipse growled.

Daisy rolled her eyes. Eclipse did have a point. She was growing impatient from the argument about Moon, and they had to hurry up and go back to the Guild before Flame sent out a search party.

Snow sighed, licking the Vulpix's ears. "He's right. We have to go."

Moon shot a glare at Eclipse when he wasn't looking, and Snow purred with amusement. "What?" Eclipse turned back sharply.

"Nothing," Snow answered.

Daisy walked away, sick of their talking, and tried to follow a different direction. But there were trees all around and she couldn't find anything that would mean a way out.

Suddenly Eclipse flicked his tail. "Look!"

Daisy spun around to see what Eclipse was pointing at. She widened her eyes in surprise; there was a huge light right in front of them. "It must be the way out!"

Whimpering with excitement, Moon burst through the trees. Snow and Eclipse exchanged odd glances before following.

Daisy smiled at the Vulpix's enthusiasm, but she was bit worried, too. What if the light was something different other than a way out?

"Moon!" Eclipse growled. "Don't go too far!"

Moon didn't answer.

Daisy's heart skipped a beat as the three picked up the pace. The light eventually grew stronger and stronger until Daisy had to close her eyes to avoid the brightness.

"Ouch!" a voice said from in front of them. Daisy slowly opened her eyes.

A Charizard was lying down on the grass with Moon giving it a bunch of bites. "That's what you get for blocking the exit, you stupid poohead!"

"Moon," Eclipse growled, "come back here right now!"

"Not until he leaves!" Moon snarled.

"Do it or I'll make you." Eclipse's voice was filled with impatience.

Moon slowly jumped down from the Charizard's belly, glaring at him. "Do you promise to send us back to Earth Town?"

The Charizard narrowed his eyes. "Fine. But don't ever come back if you know what's good for you."

Flashing a smile at Eclipse, Moon stalked off towards the light.

"Wow, she's good at convincing Pokemon," Snow purred. "Maybe she's not a baby after all."

Eclipse didn't say anything, just followed the Vulpix on heavy pawsteps.

Snow and Daisy exchanged an odd glance before following.

"Hopefully Flame won't send a search party for us," Daisy panted once they caught up to Moon.

"They better not," Eclipse snarled. "We've had enough trouble as it is. All these meteors, losing Team Waterfall and Team Vine, troubles in Smoky Woods, what could go worse?"

Daisy looked around, expecting some Pokemon to pop out and attack them.

"We better keep quiet," Snow murmured. "I don't want Pokemon attacking us at the last minute."

"Then we better hurry up and get our butts in the Guild, or else we're gonna get mauled!" Eclipse yelled.

"Quiet!" hissed Snow. Everyone stared at her in awe; clearly they hadn't expected her to start having a loud personality.

Eclipse padded on without another word.

RIVER'S POV

River padded beside the marshy reed bed by the lake, muttering under his breath from the icky, wet stuff. He tip-toed himself across the other side.

"You know, I don't have high hopes that Night is okay," Shade murmured.

Tackle glared at him. "That's the wrong thing to say!"

"He's right," River said. The sound of Blast's snoring drowned his voice out. Oh, great... What a lazy pain in the butt. He shouldn't even be in our rescue team if he's just gonna slow us down.

Shade seemed to be thinking the same thoughts. "It won't be long until Flame sends a search party. What will we do if Blast starts to slow us down?"

"Leave him here," Tackle snarled. "We need to get to Night now!"

"Leave him here?" Shade sounded uncertain. "In the middle of Smoky Woods? He'd be toast before night comes."

River looked up at the sky, noticing the moon drifting higher and higher. "Dinner's probably long over by now. Should we get some sleep?"

"Not until we find Night!" Tackle hissed.

"Tackle, relax," Shade growled. River could tell he was becoming more impatient by the second. "We might be able to find him, but don't expect him to be un-injured."

Tackle's face fell. "That doesn't make me feel better."

River felt a stab of sympathy for the young Bulbasaur. Even though Night barely talked, Tackle wanted to find his partner safe and sound somewhere, and he liked that. Still, his eyes started to droop and he felt himself slowing down.

"It's getting late," Shade began. "We should rest."

Tackle skidded to a stop and turned on the Empoleon. "We should find Night before even thinking about resting!" he hissed.

River was surprised at his bravery and anger, but Shade wasn't. "Sorry, Tackle, but we have to stop for the night," was all he said.

Tackle glared at him, but didn't say a word. River sighed and plopped down on the marshy bed, not caring that it was wet. All he thought about was sleep as he closed his eyes and drifted off.

DAISY'S POV

By the time the three Pokemon reached the Guild, Flame was tapping her foot angrily in front of the grate. "Where were you?" she demanded. "I almost had to send a search party because I thought you were missing!"

Daisy looked at her paws.

"Sorry," Snow muttered. "We got lost and ended up in Smoky Woods."

"What were you doing, anyway?" Flame glared at Snow, Eclipse, and Moon as if they were a threat.

"We were just on a walk," Eclipse growled.

Flame shook her head and sighed. "No more walks, okay? I can't afford losing any more members from that creepy place."

"Any more?" Daisy echoed.

Flame stared at her in disbelief. "Well..." She hesitated. "We used to have a Raichu named Thunder around here, and he left to go search for Team Sun when they get lost over in Smoky Woods."

Daisy raised an eyebrow.

"Team Sun eventually came back, but Thunder was never found, even when we sent a search party to go look for him," Flame continued. "I'm not sure what happened, but, it's best to think that he died."

"When was this?" Daisy asked.

"A week before you were found on the shore," Flame admitted.

Daisy wondered who this Thunder was. She looked at Eclipse, hoping for answers.

"Thunder was part of a rescue team called Team Ray." Eclipse growled and looked at his paws. "I hated him. He was always stirring up trouble." He lowered his voice so only Snow, Moon, and Daisy could hear. "I honestly think he was the reason Star and Stream died."

"Who are they?"

Eclipse glanced at her. "Star was an Umbreon, like you, and Stream was a Vaporeon. They were his partners."

"An Umbreon, like Daisy?" Moon gasped. "I thought those were rare."

"Yeah, and so are every one of the eveelutions," Eclipse snapped. "For some reason, we have a lot of them now. Stream, Star, Storm, Daisy... and that one magic Vaporeon Daisy saw on her mission."

Eclipse padded closer. "I liked Star," he murmured so Snow couldn't hear. "She was sweet and kind. She never got into any trouble and liked to keep peace between everyone..." He shot a glance at Snow. "Like her. I blamed myself of her death. I used to be with her all the time, and I wasn't there when she went missing. Everyone thinks she died. I didn't for a while, but then I saw her body."

Daisy gasped. Eclipse liked someone? That was extremely hard to believe. And did he just admit he likes Snow?

"It was in Smoky Woods. Me and Team Vine were there to rescue a Bisharp." The words tumbled out like a waterfall. "Then I saw her body covered in moss, right next to the lake that is the center of Smoky Woods. All of us were horrified, but we couldn't find Stream anywhere. She was probably washed away in the lake or something, but I was glad we could bury Star normally and that she wasn't washed away." Eclipse looked at his paws. "I wanted to carry on believing that she was alive, but I knew that I couldn't think like that forever."

"I'm sorry about that," Daisy replied awkwardly. "I didn't know."

"Now you do," Eclipse growled. "She looks just like you, though. The shiny red eyes, the rings that are in the same place, and that..." He suddenly gasped and started to back away. "She has a white paw just like yours, on her right foreleg!"

Daisy glanced at her paws. She'd never noticed that before, honestly. "Maybe it's just a coincidence," she said, hoping it was true. "There are a lot of Umbreons-"

"A lot?" Eclipse hissed. "Those are the rarest Pokemon ever! You must be Star!"

Daisy started to back away. "Have... have you lost your mind? I have no clue who Star is."

"Don't lie to me," the Houndoom growled. "I know it's you."

Before Daisy could reply, a voice sounded from in front of them. "Hey! Are you coming or what?"

Daisy spun around to notice Flame glaring at them, tapping her foot again. "Sorry!" she whispered, running up to the Charizard.

She noticed Eclipse's angry gaze boring into her as they walked through the door. She hardly flinched at Sentry Digglet's words now as she stepped onto the grate. So Eclipse must have been a Pokemon before me. Kind of odd. Maybe River was, too... But I'm not sure about that. Team Waterfall could've achieved Silver Rank right after he joined. He could've joined about the same time as me.

Daisy stopped right next to the table and started to wash herself. Brambles and thorns were caught in her fur. It had been a long day, and she was just ready to get a good night's sleep.

"It's been raining hard lately," she heard someone say. Daisy looked over her shoulder to see Snow. The Mightyena finally stopped mooning over Eclipse. Are they...more than friends now? Eclipse kind of admitted he liked her, and she could've easily heard.

"Yes, it has," Daisy replied in between licks.

"Do you think there will be another meteor?" Something flashed in Snow's eyes, but Daisy couldn't tell what it was.

She shrugged. "Probably. There's been a lot occurring. Why?"

"I'm just wondering." Snow lay down and began to wash herself, also.

Daisy stopped licking, thinking of her question hard. "Are you...Are you and Eclipse...together now?"

Snow looked up and stared at her; for a heartbeat Daisy thought she said the wrong thing, but the Mightyena just purred and curled up her tail. "How'd you guess?"

"I don't know..." Daisy grinned. "I'm glad for you." She decided to leave out the part about Eclipse thinking she was Star.

"He told me he liked me at Golden Hills." Snow looked up at the ceiling. "I decided not to tell anyone until someone spoke up. I didn't expect you to guess so fast." She chuckled.

Daisy shrugged again. "Lucky guess?"

Snow nodded, then began to wash herself once more. Rain pattered at the window shields. Daisy walked over to it, deciding not to bother Snow. As she peered out the window, there was nothing but wet drops. She recoiled in shock once she realized she couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong, Daisy?"

Daisy spun around, noticing Storm staring at her. "Afraid of the rain now?" he joked.

"I just couldn't see anything, that's all!" she growled. I actually love rain.

Storm shrugged. "Whatever you say." He padded up to look at the window. Daisy noticed fear bursting out of his pelt. "You're right. I can't see a thing."

"You're the one who's afraid of rain," Daisy muttered, giving him a playful shove.

"Shut up!" Storm hissed, shoving her back.

For the first time in a long time, Daisy felt as if nothing could go wrong.

SNOW'S POV

"Snow! Snow!"

Snow stopped washing herself and glanced at Eclipse, who was walking up to her from the elevator. From his sleek fur, she realized he had been grooming himself, too.

"What took you so long to go back to the Guild?" Snow asked as he seated himself next to her. "What were you talking to Daisy about?"

Something flashed in Eclipse's eyes. "N-nothing," he stammered. "Just human stuff."

Snow narrowed her eyes, then smiled and licked Eclipse's cheek. "You don't have to tell me."

"Thanks." Eclipse sounded relieved. What had he been talking to Daisy about?

"It's kind of odd now that I realize you're a human," Snow began.

Eclipse rested his head on his paws. "Everyone's been giving me strange looks. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I didn't have the time."

Snow purred. "You don't have to apologize a million times. Now, what were you going to say?"

Eclipse stared at her. "I just wanted to talk to you. I didn't get the chance since Daisy beat me to it." There was anger in his gaze. Did they get into a fight?

Snow shrugged the thought off. "We don't have to talk to each other all the time, you know."

Eclipse chuckled. "You were always mooning over me, I thought you wanted us to talk all the time."

"That was earlier!" Snow purred again. "Now it's different."

"Well..." Eclipse licked her ear. "I'm glad I spoke up then."

Snow rested her head on her paws, closing her eyes, enjoying the feel of Eclipse's gentle licks on her ears. She slowly started to drift off.

"Wake up!" a voice hissed in her ear.

Snow groaned, rolling over. "What do you want?" she muttered. "I almost fell asleep!"

"GET UP!" a voice growled in her other ear. It was still a whisper, but Snow felt like it was the loudest thing she ever heard.

"What do you want?!" she hissed.

"There's a meteor shower! Hurry!"

Snow froze. She recognized the sound of Eclipse. Immediately springing to her paws, she dashed to the door.

"Wait." Eclipse blocked her view. "I don't want you going out there. More could hit us." He hesitated. "I don't want you getting hurt."

"I'm not going to get hurt." Snow rolled her eyes, then darted to the door again.

This time, Flame was blocking the door. She crossed her arms. "I already have a patrol out there. I don't need more Pokemon." When she noticed Snow's disappointed look, she added, "I think you'd be glad on getting some sleep. I'm tired myself, but I'm watching from the door. You don't need to do that. I expect you're half asleep." Her voice didn't sound like she was half asleep, but Snow could tell her eyes were glazed with tiredness. What time was it, 5 in the morning? She glanced at the clock. Almost midnight.

"Fine. Can I at least look from the window?" Snow growled.

Flame nodded. "Not too long, though. You're going to fall asleep on your paws. You look worse than me!"

Snow rolled her eyes, then stalked off to the window.

More rain showered down as she took a glance at it. She could see the drops hard against the windowsill, and the Mightyena swore for a second it was hailing, but then Eclipse shouted to her.

"Snow, you're done looking! We have to go to bed now!"

"Wait!" Snow hissed. She squinted her eyes, trying to see against the rain, not knowing she'd regret it later.

Out in the dark gray clouds was a pitch black meteor with fire flaming at its tip. There were more next to it, thousands and thousands of them pouring down from the sky like hail.

It was exactly like the meteor shower she saw all those weeks ago, when she was still with her mate, in her den, with Silver.

Snow felt her eyes begin to tear up, but she couldn't look away. The meteor shower was drawing her to her past again, before she became a member of the Guild and called her team Team Flash.

No! I can't go back now. Not when I have my whole life ahead of me. I need to stick to the present...not the past!

Snow tried to back away, but she stayed where she was. Her vision became blurry and she felt herself become dizzy until she couldn't see a thing. She heard voices calling her name, but she realized she couldn't speak. Am I dying? Are the meteors killing me when they're not even touching me? She would've screamed if she could talk or move. No... it can't be. Meteors are harmless. They couldn't be that bad. The Mightyena tried opening her eyes. It didn't work. They can't be common. They're harmless. They're harmless. They're harmless. No matter how many times Snow thought that in her mind, she wasn't convinced. Or are they?

Finally, everything turned pitch black. It stayed like that for a while, maybe ten seconds, until the shape of a Dewott appeared in her vision.

"R-Rain?" she whispered. "Is that you?"
