Quest 10: Stolen!
Rose came back to the elite four building after saying her goodbyes to the legendaries. She had gotten Altaria to take her back home because it would be too suspicious being flown in by an Articuno. She was sure they were already in a shock with Moltres helping her earlier.
She touched the ground and returned Altaria to her Pokéball to rest. She went inside to see everyone gathered around the table and Cynthia with her head in her hands.
Rose came in asking, "Something wrong guys?"
The group looked at her finally noticing her presence and Flint said, "Cynthia has some news for us. She just got back today and wondered where you were until she saw the note."
Rose sat down across from Cynthia and waited.
Cynthia looked up at Rose and grimly said, "The Adamant Orb was stolen."
Rose widened her eyes and yelled out, "It was stolen!"
Everyone widened their eyes and flinched at Rose's reaction. They didn't expect her to be so angry about this incident. Sure they were angry as well, but they didn't react like this when they found out.
Rose immediately said, "I have to make a call. I'll be in my room." After that, she immediately ran out of the room heading towards her own. She locked the door as soon as she got in and quickly tapped the Rainbow Wing tattoo on her left arm and waited for an answer.
She waited for two minutes before someone answered saying, "It's late at night Rose. What happened?"
"You want to know what happened. This is what happened. The Adamant Orb was stolen!" Rose yelled.
Rose immediately got a result as many legendaries yelled out from both tattoos, "The Adamant Orb was stolen! How could that have happened?"
"I don't know. Cynthia just informed me. Let me see…the only people I know who would take it in this region would be..." Rose widened her eyes. "Team…Galactic."
"This is not good. They cannot have that orb. Rose, you have to protect the Lustrous Orb at all costs."
"Understood Arceus. I will do my best," Rose said before tapping her left arm once again. She fell onto the bed with a worried look. She kept muttering, "This is not good. Where is the Lustrous Orb hidden? This is so not good…"
The next week, Cynthia had even more disturbing news. It seems as if the Lustrous Orb was found but then went missing soon after. Everyone gasped, but surprisingly Rose was taking this quite well. She was actually just continuing on with cooking breakfast instead of Cynthia because the champion was stressed.
While the group was eating, Rose went back to her room and tapped her tattoos once again.
"We're here Rose," a voice answered.
"It seems as if you got the job done," Rose replied making sure no one was following her while she made it back to her room and locked the door once she got in.
"We got the Lustrous Orb as soon as they found it. Why did Palkia have to hide it that well?" the voice complained.
"Relax Celebi. We got the orb and now it's in my possession correct?" Rose asked politely.
"Yes, the Lustrous Orb is in the secret compartment we built in your room," Celebi answered. "Make sure that no one gets a hold of it. Maybe combining it with your soul would be the wisest thing to do."
"That is true. After all, once we found the Griseous Orb, I did merge with it," Rose said digging around in her closest for something. She found a small pad at the bottom of the closest and put her hands over it. The pad started to glow before revealing a large drawer in the side of the closest. She carefully reached in and pulled out a large object wrapped in a silk cloth. She unraveled it to reveal the Lustrous Orb. "I'll merge with it and become a part of Palkia like I have with Giratina," she said while she held the orb close to her chest.
The tattoos glowed along with the Lustrous Orb before the orb disappeared into vapor and entered Rose's body. The process to merge with the Lustrous Orb was done, and no one could take it without killing Rose first or having her relinquish it on her own free will.
"Now all we need is the Adamant Orb back but how?" Rose questioned after closing the secret drawer.
"Not sure. All I do know is that something is going to happen to you and a whole lot of other people. You have to be careful. Make sure you don't leave the elite four building except for emergencies and looking after the elite four. Don't forget our quarterly meetings with the others alright. Catch up later okay Rose? Bye," Celebi said before the tattoo stopped blinking.
"Hmm. For a first, she hung up on me instead of the other way around," Rose said covering her arms with her jacket again. She unlocked the door to her room and walked back into the kitchen for breakfast.
While Rose was gone, the league members were talking.
"She reacted rather calmly this time. Why is that?" Lucian questioned.
"That is strange. I mean we just found the Lustrous and Adamant Orb and then had them either stolen or missing," Cynthia said. "I would figure that she would have reacted the same way to the Lustrous Orb the same way she did the Adamant Orb."
"Do you think she had anything to do with the Lustrous Orb disappearing? After all, she didn't react as much," Aaron suggested.
"Like that girl can do something like that. She was in her room when that happened," Bertha said.
"That's true. She was in her room all week. She didn't leave once since she came back," Flint said.
They kept talking about Rose until said girl finally came into the kitchen to eat the breakfast she made. She was right when she said the only thing she could cook was rice, fish, and vegetables because when they asked her to cook something else; she had to get Cynthia's help.
