HTF: It's….FLASHBACK TIME!
Chia: Hey hey hey! What the hell? We just had a flashback scene not that long ago! Sky was going to postpone the next one till the Vientown Arc!
HTF: Yes but Sky decided to post it now for some odd reason. Thus, I arrive to host.
Chia: NO WAY! *holds up red lightsaber* I still haven't kicked your sorry butt the last time we crossed paths!
HTF: Very well then. *brings out purple lightsaber* You wanna fight? BRING IT.
Sky: *walks in, sees fighting* *sweatdrop* *writes 'read, review, enjoy' on wall* *walks away without a word*

Kate (age 8)
(scene: deep in Lyra Forest)
"Yay! All the flowers are blooming!"
Kate skipped in the sunshine meadows of the forest, enjoying the sight of the beautiful flowers before her. She hoped that the pokemon were back from migration but, as Spenser warned earlier, they hadn't. Must be early. Oh well. Kate could still pick some flowers for her ranger friends. Big brother Spenser always liked it. And Ruby, who was usually super nice, seemed tired lately. She needed to be cheered up.
The little girl proceeded to look for bright colored flowers. She stuck a daisy in her hair; her favorite. Kate explored more of Lyra Forest, going into Labyrinth Grove. Normal people got lost but Kate knew her way around the forest perfectly. Never got lost. It was a perfect place to play hide and seek with the pokemon.
Kate sighed. "I wish more of them came to play…"
The forest was quieter without them. Sort of lonely. Kate continued hopping along, picking up flowers into a nice little bouquet. What would be really cool is if she found a shaymin.
"I come from Floaroma Town, all the way in Sinnoh. A place filled with flowers and honey." Ruby told her.
"Wow!" Kate gasped, starry eyed.
"There's an old story that said it used to be a wasteland, where nothing grew. But when someone offered thanks, a shaymin appeared. The shaymin made the whole hill burst into bloom! Even today, people from Floaroma celebrate the event whenever the shaymin migrate. We always make sure to give thanks so they continue to shower our town in beautiful flowers."
Kate hoped maybe she could meet a shaymin someday. That she'd make the entire Lyra Forest be filled with flowers! Maybe Kate could even find some of those gracidea flowers to give to Spenser.
There was a Cliffside not too far off. It was forbidden to play there since the ground was unstable. Kate was about to avoid it when something caught her eye.
"Ooooh! Those are pretty!"
There were some gardenias growing there. Spenser said not to play on the cliff. But Kate didn't intend to. She'd just go get the flowers and run right back. No problem. The little girl set her flower bouquet down and walked over to the edge. Kate slowly wobbled, trying not to lose her balance as she looked down. Eeep! Long way down! Kate gulped before bending over to pick the flowers.
"Come on!" Kate groaned. "Come out!"
The flowers were hard to pull out. Stubborn things. Kate tried to yank on them harder.
Crumble, crumble….
What was that?
CRACK!
Before Kate could react to the noises, the cliff broke! The ground under her feet was gone! All the rocks were sliding down the cliff. And now Kate was too! She screamed as gravity dragged her down. Her wide eyes squeezed shut as the top of the cliff grew farther and farther away each moment that passed. Kate kept falling at an increasing speed. Could this be it? Would Kate hit her head and go to 'a better place' like her family did before? Spenser…would she never see him or the rangers again?
BOING!
….huh?
Kate stopped falling. She landed on a soft material of sorts. Her eyes snapped back open to see that while she fell, a rainbow bubble was carrying her down safely. Kate watched as she gently floated down to the grass below. The bubble popped upon immediate contact. Alive….Kate was alive! She was saved! But who did it?
"Hi! Are you ok?"
A pokemon flew up to Kate. This one was unfamiliar to her. It was sort of like a cat but all pink. Plus the tail was a lot longer than a cat pokemon's. And normal cat pokemon don't talk with their minds. The strange pokemon looked over Kate with much curiosity.
"Uh huh." Kate nodded. "Thanks for saving me."
"No prob! Happy to help!" The pokemon cheerfully replied.
"You're so cute!" Kate hugged the pokemon. "I've never seen a pokemon like you before!"
"Awww! Thanks! You're cute too!" The pokemon said. "What were you doing on a dangerous spot like dat?"
"Picking flowers." Kate replied.
"Really? I wanna play too! Can I? Please?" The pokemon requested.
"Sure!" Kate answered.
"YAY!" The pokemon danced in the air. "Ooh! I know how I can help!"
The pokemon closed its eyes, glowing a light blue color. A light surrounded it (or her, since it sounded like a girl). Within a minute, the light changed the pokemon's body into something different. Small white underbelly with a green back; complete with a pink flower to top it.
"Shaymin!" Kate clapped, excited.
"Yep!" The pokemon responded. "I can turn into other pokemon and get their powers! Watch this!"
Scurrying onto the wide tall grass before the two, the pokemon's back glowed bright white. Pollen erupted from the flower and into the air. Kate watched as flowers started popping up all over the place! Flowers of every kind! Lillies, carnations, daisies…lots of them! Kate giggled as she went into the patch of flowers. There was a glow near the center of the flower patch; the pokemon popped out, in her original body.
"So whatcha think?" She asked.
"It's awesome!" Kate told it. "So beautiful! Like I imagined!"
"We can make this our secret base!"
"Our base? You wanna be friends?" Kate blinked.
"Sure! I only like the nice humans, like you." The pokemon said as-a-matter-of-factly. "When I'm not traveling around, I want a nice place to rest and a friend to play with. Like you and this meadow."
"Ok!" Kate accepted, happy.
"Friendship is magic!" The pokemon cheered.
(Hours pass by as the two play) (Sunset: Spenser comes into Lyra Forest, searching for Kate)
"Kate? Kate where are you?" Spenser called out. "Time to come home!"
"I'm here!"
Spenser heard the familiar voice. It came from somewhere below the cliff. Kate was smart. She wouldn't be playing on the edge like that. Must've found that pathway down. Spenser took that route and scanned the area.
"Kate?" Spenser called again.
"Over here!" Kate responded.
The ranger hustled in the direction and….whoa. Lotta flowers. Kate was resting in the flower patch. A crown of daisies adorned her head. So darn cute.
"Hey kiddo. You been here all day?" Spenser asked.
"Yeah!" Kate replied. "I met a pokemon friend! We played all day and made this garden!"
"Did you now?" Spenser grinned.
"Yep! The pokemon's cute and pink and fluffy and can do anything! She's really fun to play with!" Kate told him.
"Now where is this pokemon friend of yours?" Spenser asked.
"She turned invisible and left." Kate answered.
Spenser chuckled. Either it was an imaginary friend or something like a jigglypuff. Kate always did have a vivid imagination. The girl got out of the flowers, carrying a bouquet with her. Right away she gave Spenser a purple flower.
"I picked flowers for you and everyone."
"Thanks, sis." Spenser took it, putting the stem on the ranger jacket pocket. "Why don't we go back and give the rest to the rangers?"
"Ok!" Kate said smiling.
Spenser led the way through the woods. Though he wasn't aware of a pokemon watching them from the treetops. A pink pokemon wearing a flower crown around its head and a smile on its face.

HTF: *points lightsaber at Chia* AHA! I got you now!
Chia: NOT SO FAST! *slices HTF's hand off* *hand falls below a magically appearing chasm with sharpedos at the bottom*
HTF: I NEED THAT HAND TO WRITE YA KNOW! *leans against a wall* Damn. You're a tough little rat.
Chia: Heh. And that's not all. I know something you don't.
HTF: Yeah? That would be….?
Chia: HTF…I AM YOUR COUSIN'S FRIEND'S HALF-BROTHER'S GREAT AUNT'S STEP-SISTER.
HTF: NOOOOOOOOO!...wait….what the hell….?
Chia: While I stunned her with confusion, hey readers! Next chapter is coming soon! May the force be with you! And also copyrights. Because Sky doesn't own Star Wars or its references that are used.
