Once again before we start, I wanna say I have a note about the SYOC's at the end along with a big goof I made from last chapter and an apology for any mistakes that I may miss with editing.

'-most known for its technical advances, such as our use of hoverboards in place of bikes; our self-delivering mail system and our Pokémon villages. Now don't be mistaken, these villages are built for wild Pokémon out of the natural materials in the area, designed to heal wounded Pokémon, protect them from harsh weathers and provide a safe environment to hatch eggs.

These villages are off limits to humans and are under protection of the Seraph. You can-'

"This thing has been on repeat since we got on here."

Kenji gazed over to his sister whom had insisted on sitting away from him on the train. He didn't mind this of course, the doctors told him to make her feel comfortable but as a compromise, she had to still be near him.

"That's because it's a tour guide-" Muffin blurted out.

"I know but-"

Kenji just watched the girl talk and it legitimately made him believe her memory wasn't the only thing she had lost. He had heard her talking to herself a lot since she had come back from the hospital but he had just assumed she was trying to force memories. Now however, Kenji doesn't know what to think.

Trinity was looking between each Pokémon as they made their respected sounds, her facial expression changing and then replying once the three had quieted down only for it all to start up again. Kenji pulled a face at this, 'She went from being a Pokédex to a Pokéwhisperer-'.

Not that she could actually understand and speak to her Pokémon, that was just malarkey. And maybe this is once again Kenji just being bias –in this case over the fact that he's been with and has known this girl for eighteen years now and not once has she ever mentioned an ability that neither of her sibling have- but who else in this damned world can do such a thing? ...Besides that, one guy from Unova...

The more the boy watched and... 'Listened' to his sister's half argument over the T.V., the more he questioned about the situation. Would he be able to make a pretty penny of this in a few years? Or would that make him just as bad as Philia? Maybe Philia could play the part of Tri-

'Arriving at Hymichu City Station'

"Trin, come on." The boy commanded as he himself got up, putting all thoughts behind –hopefully for good- "And put you're Pokémon away, lots of tourists go through here and you don't want them getting 'napped." Although he tried to keep his 'cool, I don't care but I'm still your 'protective' brother' demeanor up, he couldn't help but shiver a bit when looking at Mitzy –Trinity's Gastly. "Specially that one."

The girl looked to Mitzy then to her other, smaller two Pokémon. What the hell was this guy's problem? Who in their right mind would lock up their friends? It's just wrong.

Trinity responded by picking up her angry Eevee and shaking her head; as she did, her Zorua jumped onto her shoulder and stuck his tongue out at the male human. Kenji rolled his eyes to this, "Okay, whatever, let's just go find the professor-"

Hymichu isn't the biggest city in the world, if anything, it's actually the smallest in the Hanachi Region. Although classed as a city, its buildings are all rather small and with the exception of every type of travel station under the moon, most of those building are shops and cafes-

"Hymichu City," Trinity blurted out, quoting that damn video- "The smallest city of our lovely region. Hymichu is our main, if not our only entry and exit point if traveling publicly."

'Oh, dear Arceus-' Kenji mentally face palmed. He rather forcefully grabbed her by her Eeveeless hand; roughly dragging her down one of the alleyways. "Look, Trin," He stated, "We're gonna see the professor and if she can't do anything for you, we're going straight back to the penthouse."

She gave a curious face despite how she knew he wasn't going to turn back to look at her, "Isn't that pent-thingie called home?"

"…No 'home' of Philia's is a home of mine..." He then briefly looked back to her, his face calm despite his harsh actions and tone, "But it is yours."

She found herself silent after that. Trinity knew that Kenji was indeed her brother and that this 'Philia' was their sister, but she had no idea which of the two to feel sympathy for. From what she had gathered from Mitzy and Elvis and just generally over the past two weeks was that Kenji hates Philia. Why? That she didn't know and as such she felt bad for their apparent sister. But maybe Philia did something to Kenji? Maybe that's why she's never around and they're the ones looking after her penthouse...

Her train of thought came to a halt when the blonde realized she was now inside a building. And boy did this room leave a creepy vibe.

Small Pokémon, namely water, grass, fire and fairy types roamed around, each with some form of tag with what looked like a code on. In some frames that hung on the wall where what the girl assumed to be dead flying and bug type wings, a few of the smaller bug type Pokémon on display. But what made this room all the weirder was the fact that it was filled with lab equipment and all these Pokémon didn't seem triggered by any of it.

Well that was the case until she looked down-

Trinity couldn't really understand why the only Pokémon freaking out was her usually grumpy emo Eevee that sat in her arms. Although showing no physical signs of fear –other than a timid shiver- Trinity could tell by the look in his eyes that he was rather scared.

"Pssst- Mistress-"

"Hum?" She turned her head slightly, Mitzy floating besides her.

"Mistress, I recommend you at least put Muffin back in his Pokéball. And maybe Elvis."

"Haaaaay-" The tricky fox jumped in, looking past their trainers head to shoot a playful glare, "I'm too good for that thing and you know it!"

"Elvis please," The Gastly's eyes flicked down to the normal type, thankful he wasn't paying attention, "You're immature and may break something. Our Mistress can't take the blame for it." The dark type simply pointed his nose up at her, which she promptly ignored and returned her full attention to their trainer "Please Mistress, it's for the best, I will also return if that pleases you. Muffin's ball is the one with the heart and Elvis has the blue one."

Trinity bit her lip while her Zorua boasted about himself in her ear... But nobody was really listening to him. She let her eyes flick back to the 'decorations' and then ultimately decided that Mitzy was right. "Alright..."

She reached into her hoodies pocket, clicking each of the three buttons and in three red flashes, her friends where all safe.

The whole time Kenji had been watching her, maybe she was just insane now? It's the only 'logical' explanation he could come up with. But he found no reason to question it, or at least wasn't going to bother.

Especially since the long-awaited professor had finally entered to room. "Professor Hazel!" The teen exclaimed with fake joy.

"Oh Kenji! It's been too long." The woman smiled brightly, walking over to a desk and setting her bag down. "And Trinity! Oh, I heard about the accident, sweetie, I'm so sorry." The blonde just gave an equally fake smile as her brother. But it didn't deter the older woman whom looked between the two curiously. "I see Philia isn't with yo-"

"Nope, and she won't be joining us." Kenji quickly stated, "We're only here to see if you know any way to get her memory back."

The woman opened her mouth, likely to state how great their sister was but decided against it. Instead she sat on a near stool, petting a Mudkip that sat on the desk. "Well I don't know of any definitive way of recovering someone's memory. As a Pokémon Professor, I don't know much about humans in general but I do know that Psychic types are our closest relatives and they... They never have issues like this, not on record anyway..."

"So..." The boy sourly slurred, "You're basically saying go find a therapist..."

"Well no, I'm just saying that personally, I don't know what to do to help you- Even with Hanachi's technology, I doubt there is anything that can return a memory at the click of a finger... You could ask Jason Kato but even then, it's a long shot."

"Who's Jason Kato?" Trinity questioned, for no other reason than to actually be a part of this conversation.

Professor Hazel smiled at her, "He's the Kato City gym leader honey. He's also an inventor and is the one who created quite a few things our region is known for."

"...Kato City? Bu-"

"Yeeesss." Kenji moaned, "His big-headed family owns that city and named it after themselves, can we move on already?"

"Kenji... There's not really anything to move on to..." The older woman stated, a hint of guilt in her voice, "I've told you all I know..." She looked down for a moment as not to see the sadness cover Trinitys face –and also to avoid Kenji's harsh gaze. Her hazel eyes caught a glimpse of something, a simple photo hidden on the lower shelf. "Oh, wait a second..." She reached under to get the piece of paper, smiling once she got a better look, "What if you retraced your steps?"

"...Seriously?"

"Kenji, don't be so quick to judge. Not that I think you forgot, but the two of you and Philia took part in the Pokémon League a few years ago," Kenji scoffed at the mention of their sister's name, or was it from the Pokémon League? Either way, he wasn't happy about it. "Meaning you all traveled all over Hanachi. The adventure of a life time was it not?" Professor Hazel then put her full attention on the confused girl, "Sweetie, you practically became a Pokédex. You made so many memories and met so many people. I bet that if there's any way to get your memory back, doing that adventure again is it!"

"Ohh... Ummmm..." The blonde contemplated what she was saying... Or tried to at least.

"Y-you do want to remember, don't you?"

"I- I do but..."

Kenji finally raised an eye, "But what?"

"W-well..."

"Sweetie," Hazel said softly, getting up and walking over to the girl, "I understand that you're scared and worried, but what have you got to lose?" She knelt down, and placed her hands on the youngers shoulders, squeezing them supportively. "It's the best chance you got at the moment, Kenji will be the-"

"But I don't want him with me."

Agh, this was kinda a weak chapter if you ask me- Soz (I was like writing this while playing a video game soooo-)

Okay speaking of video games... In the chapter I posted the other day, I made a constant mistake that I'm blaming Persona on... I kept spelling Kenji''s name with an a instead of an e. I did fix this –all be it hours after I originally edited it- so I just wanted to point that out to anyone who read it before I fixed it. His name is Kenji, not Kanji.

And secondly the reason you're all here, the SYOCs.I have finally taken a proper look at all the submissions and have compiled them into my cast doc, just because they're there still doesn't mean anything, it's just so I can see who I've got to work with and to see if I can figure out plots for them. You can maybe suggest some to go with your characters and maybe locations (DWs about theming the name of said places, I literally just make up the words then google them to see if its already a thing or not.) Any ideas you wanna input to the story, feel free to PM me AND TOGETHER WE SHALL MAKE HANACHI THE NEXT BEST POKEMON REGION –AlthoughnothingisbetterthanSinnohIMO.

ONE LAST THING –Sorry to bother you all if you're still reading (And more so if the following doesn't make much of any sense.)- at the start of this chapter was a snippet from something I wrote yesterday and plan to write more of as the story goes on. It was... to put it simply, it was basically a readable tour guide 'video' (It was written as a video if you catch my drift) about Hanachi as a whole. And when I say 'do more of' I mean for the individual towns and cities in the fic.

I wrote it more to help myself cos let's be honest here... I have the memory of a Magikarp but I figured maybe some of the readers might like it too? So, I was thinking, what if I post it as like a guide to Hanachi? Under a different story so that it doesn't distract from the plot and stuff?

Tell me what you guys think but until next time, I bid you adieu!
