After the Fatebreakers successful recruitment campaign, they rejoined at the guild, where some of Mythos Hearts were as a new mission was given to them.
"Get Team Ginhana Sky into the raid." Theo said.
"We just got back from Mordor, and now we're recruiting Ginhana Sky…" Kazuma said. "I might get whiplash from this tonal difference."
"It's alright, Kazuma." Ethox said with a smile. "It should be easy enough to convince them to help."
"Then no arguments here. We're off to Paradise!" Subaru said.
The two teams ventured off, arriving to Paradise and the Realm of Exploration as the main leaders of Ginhana Sky were shopping in Pokémon Square.
"You wanna take on that monster?!" Meowth said in shock.
"Yeah, that's what we just said, tomcat." Seiya said. "And you're helping us."
"Don't word it like a threat!" Rista yelled at him.
"Look, I know it's sudden, but we could really use your help. You guys have proven to be amazing allies. I mean, you helped take down the Assassin Guild." Ethox said.
"He's right. And we did recently take on Mewtwo and got him to join." Pikachu said.
"True…we got a few heavy hitters but not enough for a whole army." Meowth said.
"Then we'll recruit. We get new members almost every month." Riolu said. "No shame in getting a few more."
"Yeah, you do seem to get new members everytime we run into you." Kazuma noted. "So, who do you have in mind?"
"Hey…who's that over there?" a Bellsprout said as the group looked over to the town entrance.
"Never seen them before. Must be new." a Lombre said.
"No…no…more." said a small bear-like creature with red spots and spiral eyes as they collapsed.
"Oh no!" Lilly gasped as the groups ran over to the fallen creature, the young priestess scooping them up. "Oh, you poor thing…"
"Let's get them to Paradise." Pikachu said as they hurried off with the creature.
After a while, the creature soon rose up. "W-Where?" it asked.
"You're on Paradise, our mobile home/ship." Meowth said. "It's also our Rescue/Exploration teams base."
"Oh? Did you perhaps save me? Thanks." he said.
"Hey, isn't this Pokémon..?" Michiru asked.
"Yeah, it's a Spinda." Ultra said.
"Yes. I am named Spinda and I like to travel. I've traveled to many places and seen many Pokémon. While on my travels, I heard rumors of the Mirage Pokémon." Spinda said.
"Mirage Pokémon?" Riolu asked.
"Yes! Isn't it amazing? I've traveled far in hopes of seeing it but…no luck. I'm done. I'm all worn out. I've hit the limit." Spinda said.
"I've never heard of this "Mirage Pokémon" before." Necroapache said. "To what species does this title refer to?"
"Not a species I'm familiar with." Ultra said.
"And do you really wanna give up that easily?" Subaru asked.
"I can't keep going. If I move more, I'll collapse again. Not good for my health. But…I do want you to have this." Spinda said, showing a clear feather. "This…is a Clear Wing."
"Whoa…it's reflecting so many different colors when in light." Theo said.
"Yeah. I know it's connected to the Mirage Pokémon in a way. But…no clue." Spinda said, handing the wing off. "Anyway…I'm done. I'll just hang around here for a bit." he said as he was teetering and tottering as he walked.
"Hey, I've got an idea!" Ethox said in excitement, stopping Spinda in his tracks. "How about we help you search for this Mirage Pokemon?"
"A kind offer but no way I can continue on." Spinda said.
"But the way you're moving…are you even all right?" Lilly asked.
"Oh…it's fine. I totter when I walk." Spinda said.
"But we don't know a thing about this feather." Riolu said.
"Hmm…wait! Xatu!" Totodile said.
"Isn't he that oddball bird that tipped us off about the Dungeon that Deoxys was inside?" Legolia asked.
"Xatu knows a lot of things. He may help give us further insight." Riolu said. "As usual, he should be in the usual spot in the Great Canyon."
The group ventured deep into the Great Canyon before seeing Xatu looking out at the sunset.
"You have come a long way to see me. Speak." Xatu said.
The group then presented the Clear Wing.
"This…is a Clear Wing. I see…you wish to learn more about the Mirage Pokémon." Xatu said.
"Yes. Please tell us all you know, wise Xatu." Emilia said.
"Kwaa!" Xatu cawed. "The Mirage Pokémon…I know very little about it. But…I do know this. There are three Pokémon, thought to be shadows of this Pokémon. They are those who are at one with the land. Who rage with the eruptions of volcanoes, roar as one with thunder, and race with the north wind."
"That sounds a bit familiar…" Gimlior said.
"To the northwest lies a large island. It is known as the Three Fields. There is one such field, the Fiery Field. One of these Pokémon resides there. Go there! The answers you seek…perhaps they await there." Xatu said.
"Okay, northwest it is." Ultra said.
"And so begins our new quest." Theo said.
