Chapter 53.

Sky

The next day we woke to bright sunlight filtering in through the trees. Mezra was hopping up and down excitedly. "Come on! It's another beautiful day and we have things to do and Pokemon to see."

"What do you mean by things to do?" asked Kyle, getting off his moss bed.

"Well we need to head to the city of Arsa to check out their library-"

"Why in the hell would we want to go to a library?" snapped Rein, "That makes no sense what so ever!"

Mezra didn't flinch. "I need to look something up," she explained, "And there is something for you there as well."

"Like what?" asked Sophie.

Mezra looked at each of us mysteriously, "Well. It does involve the three items…"

"We should go then," I said, "It might tell us more about who the heck we are and it might give us a clue where your item is Rein."

"Maybe that library will have some information on how to find Yuana," said Fang hopefully.

"I doubt that," Spark pointed out, "That isn't something you are going to find in a library."

Fang's face fell. I patted him on the back, "Don't worry," I said, "We will find out more about her sooner or later." I looked at Mezra, "How long will it take to get there?"

A twinkle appeared Mezra's eye, "Well to be honest, 30 seconds."

"Huh?"

Mezra walked over to a huge thicket and her eyes began to glow. The thicket retreated, revealing a huge city. "I moved the moss while you guys were sleeping."

"You have got to be kidding me," growled Rein, stepping onto the stone path leading into the city, "We should have found you sooner. It would be easier to get to places."

Mezra ran onto the path, "Okay. Everyone follow me."

We stepped onto the path and followed Mezra into the huge city. Tall buildings made from stone were everywhere as well as many Pokemon. I noticed that Pokemon were staring at us while we were walking by. Correction. They were staring at Mezra. I couldn't blame them. She wasn't a Pokemon you see everyday.

"Hey Mezra," said Spark, "Shouldn't you wear a disguise or something? You're attracting a lot of attention."

"I'm popular?" wondered Mezra, "Wow! Oh! Hey look! That's the library!"

A huge building, taller than an Onix stood in front of us. Statues of ancient Pokemon, such as Kabuto and Shieldon lined the upper area. "This place is huge," gasped Sophie, "It's even bigger than the one in Palmcost."

Mezra lead us inside. Books were stacked high on thousands of extremely tall shelves. Ladders and elevators were at every shelf. Mezra pointed to a long shelf on the left, "That should have stuff on the three items over there." She waved before running to a shelf in the corner.

"Should we get looking?" asked Rein, "That shelf looks really tall."

I looked back to see Luke enter the library. Where was he? I shrugged. I didn't want to pry. He probably had a good explanation. "Luke. You have to help us search those books over there for something about the three items."

"Okay," said Luke, following us as we headed for the books.

Mezra

Mezra stopped in front of the books. She glanced over her shoulder to see the rest of the group busy with finding books on the items. She looked away, feeling bad. "I shouldn't have told them there was a book. I got their hopes up for nothing." She looked at the bookcase and pulled out one at her eye level. She put it on the ground and began rifting through it. "Yes. This is the one I want."

Mezra began reading through the book quickly, taking notes in her mind. She felt bad for the book. After she was done, the book had to be burned according to the legendary code. Mezra closed the book, finished. "I feel so bad for you book. Don't worry. I'll burn you nice and quickly. I just hope they don't ask what I'm doing. That would be difficult to explain."

Mezra stiffened and she grabbed the book in her teeth. She turned her head slowly to see a Gallade entering the library, a silver band around his arm. "Damn. They found out about the book quicker than I thought!" Keeping one eye on the Gallade she slowly walked over to the group of assassins and Blade's Pokemon.

"What are you doing?" asked Fang, noticing Mezra.

Mezra didn't answer because she had the book in her mouth but she pointed to the Gallade.

Fang stiffened. "Cilo!" he spat.

"Why is Cilo here," growled Rein. Mezra hoped he wouldn't extend his claws in public. That would cause many problems.

Mezra put the book down, "We need to-"

"You!"

Mezra flinched and she picked up the book quickly. She would use every power at her disposable to make sure the book didn't fall into their paws.

"We have to get outside and into an empty street or something," said Spark, shifting the mirror's weight on her back.

Cilo charged at them, his hand blades at the ready.

"I can't believe he would fight us in public like this!" growled Rein.

Mezra realized with a jolt that the library was empty the whole time they were here. "Could this have been a trap or something? That's the only reason why the library would be empty at this time of day." Mezra jumped back into the present and she jumped away as Cilo swung his blade at her. Her eyes widen as Purity Organization members seemed to rain into the library from the ceiling. They were heavily outnumbered. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Sky, Spark and Rein extending their spikes, and claws. Luke and Fang both unsheathed their weapons.

Mezra silently cursed. She needed to get rid of the book, but first she needed to help them defeat these Purity members.
