As we flew away, I called to the girl "No messing around now, who are you?

"My name is Lily, I was born in New Bark Town and started on my pokemon journey 8 years ago, when i was 10. Now my home has been invaded by these Kanto scum and so when we were attacked, I joint the Johto Resistance. When we were first attacked, the league moved from the Indigo Plateau to Mt. Silver, however they help out the resistance whenever they can." Lily told me her story.

"Where are we going?" I asked, remembering some of my training from back in Hoenn

"The furthest point in Johto from Kanto, the Safari Zone. The Resistance were allowed to camp out in and near the area and plan our attacks from there. It's kinda like a refugee camp, unfortunatly. You will see when we get there." She replied "Oh yea, put your hand in my pocket, you might find something you like"

"Excuse me?" I asked "Is that really the way to act at 30 thousand feet?"

"Not that, you idiot, your Poketch" Lily was obviously embarrassed, as was I.

"Oh" I pulled my watch from her pocket and carefully put it on, without letting go of her belt

An hour or so later, we started losing hight. "Is this it?" I asked

"Yep. Have you ever been in Johto before?"

"Never left Hoenn to be honest" And it's true.

"Well then, let me be the first one to welcome you to Johto, the Resistance and freedom" Lily had a very grand sound in her voice when she made her announcement.

"Er, thanks. I should probably mention that my only pokemon was left with a friend, who has probably returned to Hoenn now"

Lily said nothing

When we landed, we had an unexpected welcoming party. Lance, the Johto champion, as well as a woman with cyan hair and a strikingly fierce aura approached us. "Welcome to Johto, Jack. I have heard a lot about you. This is Clair, the dragon type gym leader from Blackthorn City. I would love to ask you some questions, but first. I believe you know this man." Lance recited. From behind him stepped a middle-age man with steel blue hair and a black jacket with purple zigzags.

"Steven! I thought you guys returned to Hoenn" I was overjoyed to see someone I knew

"We decided to help out the Resistance while we were here. It's only me and Brandon, however. Anyway, here is another friend of your's, I believe." And with that, he handed me a pokeball

"Charizard?" I enquirer

Steven merely smiled
