"So, what pokémon is your mom?" Ryan asked Chrono.
"She's a sylveon." Chrono replied.
Ryan looked over at Melody. She was looking at the ground.
"Are you ok, Melody?" Ryan asked.
Yeah, I've just been thinking." Melody replied, still looking at the ground.
"What about?" Ryan asked looking forwards again.
"Things." Melody replied.
"Ok." Ryan said, knowing he won't get a better answer.
"There's Treasure Town!" Chrono said cheerfully.
"Let's go and find your mother then." Melody said looking at the town in front of them.
They walked into the town and looked around.
"Mom!" Chrono said running towards a sylveon sitting beside a fountain, looking down.
Ryan and Melody followed him.
The sylveon looked up, "Chrono!"
Chrono jumped towards the sylveon and she caught him.
"I thought I lost you forever!" the sylveon said.
"Those two helped me find my way back." Chrono said pointing towards Ryan and Melody.
"How can I ever repay you two for helping Chrono back." the sylveon said.
"There's no need to. We're just happy to have helped him." Melody said.
"Are you sure?" the sylveon asked.
Ryan nodded, "the only reward we need is knowing that we've done some good."
The sylveon nodded.
"We better go before anything starts." Melody said.
"Can't you stay for longer?" Chrono asked.
"I'm afraid not. I'm not really welcome here." Melody replied.
"Why not?" the sylveon asked.
"They think I'm evil because of what I look li-" Melody said before getting cut off by someone grabbing her from behind.
"You're coming with me!" the pokémon that grabbed Melody said as it put paw cuffs on her.
Melody tried to struggle free from the pokémon's grip but failed.
"Let her go!" Ryan demanded, following the pokémon.
The sylveon and Chrono followed as well.
They followed the pokémon to a stand. The pokémon put Melody on it.
"You three stay back." the pokémon warned.
"Today's trial will now begin!" a new voice announced.
A glaceon wearing a crown walked up to the stand and all the town gathered round.
"Melody, you are on trial for stealing and attacking the residence. What's your defence?" the glaceon said.
"W-what? I haven't done anything wrong! You have to believe me!" Melody pleaded.
"The voting may now begin." the glaceon announced.
After a bit everyone has voted and all votes had been counted.
"The results are two innocent to nineteen guilty." the glaceon announced.
"No! Please!" Melody begged.
"You are sentenced to life in prison." the glaceon said.
"WAIT!" came Crystal's voice.
Everyone turned to where Crystal's voice came from and saw her running up to them.
"She's innocent." Crystal said stopping near the stand.
"Crystal, what is the meaning of this?" the glaceon wearing the crown said.
"Mom, she's innocent! Please believe me!" Crystal pleaded.
"What? Are you a traitor?" the queen, Crystal's mom, asked.
"I'm not a traitor! I'm just trying to save an innocent pokémon!" Crystal argued.
"Guards! Take her away!" the queen said.
"Mom, please!" Crystal said with tears slowly running down her face, "Don't do this!"
"You are no longer my daughter." the queen said looking away in disgust.
Two Beartics came from behind Crystal and attempted to grab her but Ryan knocked her out of the way. Crystal got up, surprised.
"Thanks." Crystal said then ran over to Melody.
Out of nowhere a thunder bolt came and hit the pokémon near Melody. Then an ice beam came and froze the cuffs on Melody.
"Who?" Crystal muttered.
