It's Chapter 29 and a familiar character from Journey of a Thousand Words appears!

Rein

Rein jumped up and in three steps he was in front of the healer. "Hey!" he snapped, "Is this a joke? How can you be a teacher? You're so young!"

She blinked but shot a questioning glance at the Bayleef named Anise. Anise said, "They came by last night with an injured Pokemon so I treated him but I'm not sure if I did it right…"

"What?" Rein whirled around and the Bayleef jumped. His eyes were wide and he backed up a few steps as Rein approached him, "You thought you did it wrong!?"

Sophie and Kyle grabbed Rein's tail and tried to hold him back but Rein easily dragged them along. The healer walked over to Sky and looked him over, "He's alright," she answered, "However I think he might need some blood. We should take him to a hospital."

"No," replied Rein quickly. He knew there was a chance that the doctors might be in control of the Purity Organization. He was not going to take that kind of risk.

"But why not?" asked the healer, "He needs Lucario blood!"

"I got it!" said Kyle suddenly. Everyone turned to him, confused looks on their faces. "Uhhh….you." He pointed to the healer, "You were in the picture in King Blade's room. If I remember correctly, your name is Mud."

Mud, the Mudkip smiled, "You are friends with Blade?"

"We work for him," said Sophie, "At least, me and Kyle do. Sky and Rein here are assassins."

"They're what!" Mud glared at them, "How could you dream of taking another Pokemon's life? That's horrible."

"Hey lady," snapped Rein, "It's our job. And since the Purity Organization is chasing us we can't stick around in one place!"

"Then what are you doing here?" asked Anise, "This is Purity Organization ground."

"We had two more Pokemon traveling with us but we had to split up," explained Kyle, "One of them, Fang a Gabite isn't an assassin. His sister has been taken by the Purity Organization. Blade also kind of hired them as well to save Torch."

"Torch? Torch has been captured?" Grief struck Mud's face, "Torch…how?"

"We don't know the details," said Sophie, "But we know she is captured."

Mud looked up at the three Pokemon, "I'll get the Lucario blood myself but you must promise me to save Torch. I would do it myself…but I swore an oath never to look for fights. Breaking it once was hard enough for me." Before anyone could ask Mud said, "I'll go get it right now. It is best if you don't move him." With that she was gone.

"Hey Anise?" asked Rein.

"Yes?" gulped Anise, his eyes filled with fear.

Rein tried not to laugh at his expression, "How old is she?"

"She is as old as King Blade and Torch," answered Anise.

"Then…" gasped Kyle, "She has to bee over five hundred years old! Does she have legendary blood or something?"

Anise shrugged, "I don't know. I tried asking her but she would never tell me."

Rein sat down near Sky, keeping his ears peeled for any sound. If a Purity Organization patrol came by he would hear it.

Fang

Fang groaned and opened his eyes. He shut them quickly as the sun almost blinded him. He carefully opened them and sat up. His head throbbed painfully as he took in his surroundings. Towering for miles above him was the cliff he was forced to jump off. He was sitting on a very springy bush. The sun was halfway up the sky. "Just how long was I knocked out?" Fang realized with a jolt that Spark was nowhere to be seen. "Spark?" He slowly got to his feet and checked his axe. It was still in the same spot. "Spark?" he called again. Where did she go? Fang started to worry. He twisted around to see his back just in case if he actually landed on her. He sighed in relief. He stiffened as he sensed someone nearby. A surge of pride went through him. He sensed someone! His senses were sharper. Fang returned to the present, and place a claw near his axe, ready to take it out if it was a Delibird.

"Hello?" A very familiar Swablu flew down from above.

"Tina!" gasped Fang.

Spark

Spark felt bad about leaving Fang knocked out on that bush; however she had felt like she had to do something. That's why now, she was in a cave. She didn't know how she found it, her feet just took her here. The outside of the cave was in the center of a large tree's roots and it sloped downwards. Spark went to the back of the cave. Pictures drawn by the Pokemon of the past were everywhere. She saw one which seemed different from the others. It showed Pokemon hailing a round object. Spark touched the object. What was it? Suddenly the ground began to shake and a section of the cave moved revealing a path.

"That's weird." Spark quickly entered the side cave and followed down in for a while. Suddenly it opened up into a large cavern with a hole in the ceiling, letting sunlight shine through. The cavern itself seemed to be a lake. In the center, under the hole in the ceiling was a mirror. "What's a mirror doing in a place like this?" she wondered. She stared suspiciously at the water, before placing one of her tail spikes in and releasing an electric charge. When no Pokemon came up she quickly jumped into the water and swam over to the small island. She climbed onto the land and got a closer look at the mirror.

It was a large hand mirror, although it had no handles. Instead it had two hooks for paws or fingers to go through on the sides. It was rimmed with a brown metal and large black and white feathers came out of the top.

Spark reached out with her paws and picked it up. She was surprised that it wasn't heavy at all. She turned it over and saw some writing on the back. "Yata, the mirror of the past is my key. Showing me the past it bides to my will." Spark shrugged, it didn't make any sense to her. She was about to put the mirror back but something stopped her. "What is with this thing?" she wondered. Spark shrugged before leaving the cave with the mirror.
