I walked in Veilstone City with Strawberry. The cold wind started to become stronger, making me pull my coat tightly around myself.

Because of its northern geographical location, Sinnoh wasn't a warm sunny region; a cool, misty, sometimes snowy climate characterized it. It was important not to take the cold lightly.

During the way towards the region's variant of a 'Team Rocket' building, I watched the people around me while Strawberry ate her favourite pancake that I'd bought her a few minutes ago.

They worked, played games, talked with each other...

it was nice to see people living their life as if nothing had happened.

When I arrived at the building, I noticed the police cars were still there which meant they hadn't closed the investigation yet, so we had made it in time.

I went inside, and looked around. Police men and women hurried right and left, gathering everything they needed.

Among the people, I noticed Looker having a serious conversation with the city's gym leader Maylene. I ran to them and put my right hand on Looker's left shoulder causing him to jump in surprise. He looked back at me.

"Ah, it's Dawn isn't it? I'm sorry but I am busy at the moment. Can you find me later?"

I looked at Maylene, who waved her hands with a smile. I wonder what they'd been talking about.

"I just want to ask something of you Looker. Can I go into the lab?"

Looker seemed startled at the question, then glanced at Maylene before looking at me again.

"Why do you want to go there? There is nothing that could interest you."

"Actually yes there is. You know, I want to investigate what happened with Azelf and Uxie exactly. I owe it to my friend Mesprit."

I said, hopeful that Looker would help me. He seemed to think about something before he turned back to me.

"Well, we've already gathered everything from there. So if you ask one of our policemen, he would gladly show you. But first tell him I allowed it."

I nodded happily while Strawberry clapped with her tiny hands.

I thanked him before we went to the man Looker pointed to.

I told him about why I wanted to check it out, and that Looker had allowed it.

He allowed me to see what was inside the bags, but didn't allow me to touch them because of the fingerprints.

I examined the objects one by one. But sadly I couldn't find something that could help me see the case. Like, a camera or something.

"Did you seen anything like a camera that possibly could have recorded the situation?"

I asked him but he shook his head.

I sighed and thanked him for his help, then went outside of the building, wondering where I should look next.

Strawberry pointed to the small building next to it. We'd been there once when we looked for the lake trio... of course, the entrance to the lab was from there.

I quickly ran into the small building and with a flashlight walked inside, deeper and deeper using those teleport machines, until I arrived at that place, where I'd fought with Cyrus the second time.

I looked around. Besides us, nobody was here. But I felt something... something creepy in this place which was not unwarranted.

A lot of horrible things happened here.

As the last teleport portal took me to the corridor that leaded to the lab, my stomach twisted and even Strawberry shook a little.

Even if there was nothing here, the ominous atmosphere was still left behind and the screams lingered in my mind...

As I walked through the abandoned place, I sighed in relief that those chambers were empty. At least nothing could scare me here from now on.

Strawberry sniffed nervously in the air, then jumped down off me to sniff everything she could see.

It was so cute that I smiled. I knew she wanted to find something useful as well.

Suddenly I felt something that made me stop. Strawberry noticed that, and walked to me to check everything was okay.

I shook my head, then petted her head before I continued on until I arrived at the lab. I went to the shelves and boxes, and tried to find something in them.

Strawberry helped too by diving deeper into the dust and objects.

A few hours passed until I found something. It looked worn and broken as if someone broke it on purpose, to hide something.

I moved the flashlight on it to check it closely.

It was a security camera.

I clapped happily, so sudden that Strawberry jumped up in surprise and looked at me in shock.

I apologized then I waved her to come closer. She did and I pointed at the camera which may possibly still work.

I have to take it to Bebe. Hopefully she could fix it and rescue the film if possible.

I put the camera into my bag carefully then stood up. Strawberry climbed up on me until she sat on my head. I petted her before I turned around and started to leave.

When I left the lab, again I felt something as if we were being watched. I looked around with the flashlight, hoping I would not meet with somebody here.

As I moved the flashlight, I noticed something in the air, as if the air vibrated or moved a bit. The same happened on the other side.

Someone or something is here

I quickly started to run out of the place as fast I could while Strawberry tried not to fall down by grabbing my forehead with her tail tightly.

When I finally got out of the building, I noticed it was night already. It seems I'd spent more time down there than I thought.

I went inside a restaurant and ordered a meal for me and for Strawberry too before I looked at the building again, now at a distance from us, wondering, what was that thing, or things, I had seen there? Was it possible a gastly or a haunter had found a home in there? I knew they liked such abandoned scary places.

When we got our meals, Strawberry gladly dove into the berry pie making her face covered in red jam. I laughed. She was so cute.

I started to eat mine too. It was so delicious. I really liked this restaurant in the plaza.

I would take Mesprit with me here one day. She would be happy for sure.
