The next morning we were preparing for the day ahead. I was sitting and looking at the map to see if there were locations of interest. This place was so huge though, I had no idea where to begin. I just end up sighing before folding it up and placing it on the table.

Scorch: Don't worry, I am sure we'll find a good point to start.

Shaymin: I guess… It's just a new place and I don't want to get lost… But no matter how much I look, I am sure I'll get lost anyways…

Sky: Well, all of you should head off without me. I have some other plans.

Scorch: You aren't joining us?

Sky: I will join later. I just want to take flight around the city. Try and get a good look at what this city holds.

Scorch: Oh, okay… Well, we should get going.

Shaymin: Alright… Lets get going I guess.

Getting up, we walked to the door and opened it. Walking out and down to street level, we began walking.

Shock: I was researching this city last night when everyone was asleep. It appears there is all sorts of places. A few parks, transport stations, lots of shops, and a large arena.

Shaymin: I- I actually been to that arena yesterday with Sky… He seemed… Interested in it.

Shock: Huh… Guess we can check that out later. But what I found most interesting is outside the city.

I looked a bit confused as he continued.

Shock: It looked like a large mansion or something. So I think we should check it out. Maybe get some answers?

Scorch: I think we can get some answers by asking others around the city. But I guess I won't mind a walk.

Shock nodded and motioned to follow. We did so as we walked down the busy street and after leaving the city limits, we began walking down a certain path.

Scorch: This place is so cool. It just looks awesome. Even outside of the city, it is still crafted with expensive looking flooring.

He was right about that. The road we walked on was made out of polished stone. The trees weren't overgrown, in fact, they were trimmed nicely and some bushes were cut in the shape of certain things. It looked very nice.

Shock: Ah, look here.

We stopped and stared to notice a building.

Shock: Must be it.

Shock jogged up the path as we followed and upon getting up to the building, we stopped as Shock started looking around. It wasn't long until he noticed someone and walked up to them. We waited nearby as the two spoke for a bit. We just stared at him and for some reason, Shock looked a bit odd. He just acted strange.

Shaymin: Is Shock okay…? Looking a bit strange.

Scorch: I'm not sure. He isn't known for this.

Scorch just sat down and waited. After waiting for a bit, Shock finally walked up to us, still looking a bit off as he had his arms crossed.

Scorch: You good?

He looked to the side and shook his head.

Shock: We need to go…

We looked at him, quite confused as he began walking down the path that we just came from. Scorch looked at me and shrugged before walking up to Shock. Everyone soon followed Shock as he just walked in silence for a good while. He didn't speak a single word until we were back to the city. Once we were back at the city, he gave a sigh and looked somewhat uncomfortable.

Shock: This place feels too weird for me… It felt like something was watching us while I was chatting up there… I don't know… It just feels weird…

Scorch: Err. Are you serious? This place is like heaven. It just looks so amazing. Are you sure you are good?

Shock scoffed and looked down.

Shock: I don't know… Just keep an eye out.

Ember: Sure thing, I guess.

Shock was about to speak again, but he was cut off by an Espeon dressed in what looked like a lab coat.

"You get that feeling too, eh?" She spoke while walking up.

Shock tilted his head as she continued.

"I overheard you. I thought I was going crazy when no one ever felt the same feeling." She said.

Cloud: Who are you…?

Cloud rolled her eyes while saying so.

Vi: Ah, my bad. I am Vi and I came from a city named Lunar City. Far from home… That's for sure…

Shock: Um…

Vi: I know it's weird for me pushing my way into a conversation, but what you said interested me. I didn't think I'd ever find someone who shared the same feeling.

Standing there, I just tried being invisible.

Cloud: What the hell is with your outfit…?

Vi looked at Cloud then leaned into Shock.

Vi: Damn, she seems like fun to be around.

Cloud: What did you just say?

Cloud clenched her teeth as Ember attempted to calm her. Vi didn't really seem phased and just giggled before continuing.

Vi: Well, for your information, I am working at a lab here in Aurora. Reason why I left my home.

Shock: Uh…

Scorch: Since Shock is clearly, well… Shocked… I'll ask it, what do you do?

Vi: Heh, it's nothing too special. It's mainly research. But seriously, what did you say about feeling watched?

Shock: Err, I just had that feeling…

Vi: I remember asking someone about it, but never got an answer. Thought I was going crazy. Eh, I only really feel it if I'm outside of the city in certain areas. So it's not too bad.

Vi looked at her watch and looked up.

Vi: Oh, I'm almost late for a meeting. Maybe we'll meet again, eh?

She then rushed off, leaving us there all confused other then Cloud who still seemed angry.

Shock: That… Happened.

Scorch: Heh… What? You into her or something? Could barely speak and acted so shy around her.

Scorch chuckled as Shock tensed before growling gently.

Shock: Shut up… She just caught me off guard, alright?

Scorch: Sure, heh. Well, we should try and locate Sky now.

Ember: How are we gonna find him though?

Scorch: Honestly, I think he'll be at a shop that sells sweet stuff.

Shaymin: He, um, does like candy and all…

Shock: Well, I know a famous place, so follow me.

He began walking off as we followed and a few minutes later, we arrived at a large candy shop. To my surprise, Sky was there, just talking to others around.

Shock: Guess you two know him better then me.

Sky kept talking to others as we walked up. When he noticed us, he waved us over. When we reached him, he looked at me.

Sky: Hey there. Got any info?

Shock explained what happened and this made Sky shrug.

Scorch: Is this what you meant by 'other plans'?

Sky: Huh? Of course not…!

Sky moved one of wings to hide a bag of candy. This made Shock sigh.

Shock: Well then… Anyways, I guess I'll search around myself. Maybe check on the ship repair…

He walked off down the road.

After he left, I started hearing what sounded like ringing. This made me confused as I pulled out my phone to see it was an unknown caller. Sky looked over and tilted his head. Looking at it for a moment, I answered the call. I was surprised when I heard a familiar voice.

Nira: Arceus… I finally reached you!

Shaymin: N- Nira…?

This caught the attention of everyone as they surrounded me.

Nira: I've been trying to reach you for the last two days… You never came back and we got worried. Autumn also got quite worried after hearing of an upcoming storm… He sent some parties out to search for you.

Shaymin: The storm hit out of nowhere… When it was over, we… Arrived in an unknown location…

Nira: What? What kind of place?

Shaymin: I don't know… A- Aurora City…

Nira: Aurora?! How the hell did you drift so far? That is nowhere near Hexa…!

Shaymin: You know of this place…?

Nira: I've visited there on a business trip before settling down at Hexa. Damn… You are at least 4 days away from us by water… That storm must have been a hurricane at that point if you got there in one day.

Scorch: Seriously? Crap… Is there anything you can do?

Nira: Not… Really… But getting in contact helped a ton. I will inform Autumn and Bolt of your location. They'll send out a rescue team for you. Try and just… I don't know… Stay put until they arrive.

Shock: I'm just hoping they don't get lost during a storm like we did…

Nira: I'm sure Autumn will make sure they'll be protected from such storms. I… I need to go now. I will tell them right now.

He then hung up as I stared at the phone. Sky looked back to the docks and sighed.

Sky: Guess we're waiting a bit longer…

Scorch: Yeah… I'm just hoping whoever Autumn sends, they don't get lost too… Storms are far too common out at sea. One can shipwreck them…

Shock: I'm just hoping they get here sooner than four days, but I guess we'll just have to wait.

Ember: Lets just… Explore I guess…

Ember and Cloud walked off as the others agreed and everyone left but Sky once again.

Sky: Look on the bright side. New place and all. Could be kinda nice to see what it has to offer.

Shaymin: Yeah, I guess…

He smiled and motioned.

Sky: Why don't we explore around then?

Nodding, I followed him down the road.

Unknown Grassy Field


Laying on the grassy hill, Mew and I were staring at the star filled night. She laid on my stomach and somewhat hugged her tail with the gold bracelet attached to it.

Mew: I've kinda been wondering…

Looking at her, she continued.

Mew: Weren't you seeing Xerneas for a while…? What were you two talking about?

Shaymin: Oh… It's um… N- nothing… I just enjoy visiting his garden since it always looks really pretty…

Mew: Really? It's been forever since I last went there. I think like two or so years… I only really see him when he's out exploring or collecting things.

Shaymin: Oh…? Maybe we can visit there together then…

Mew smiled and nodded, snuggling against me. We laid there for the while more after that.

Aurora's Train Station


Stepping from the train onto the platform, we decided we seen enough for today. Sky and I walked outside of the train station and began walking back to the hotel.

After walking for a bit, we reached the building and walked up to our room. Upon entering the room, Sky fell onto the couch and stretched out.

Sky: That was quite nice. Who knew this place had the biggest buffet ever? You need to suggest that to Autumn to build such a place.

Shaymin: Uh, yeah… I am unsure how you ate so much…

Sky just shrugged and laid there. He pretty much passed out after a few minutes.

Shaymin: Jeez… Kinda wonder where the others are…

Looking at my phone, I tilted my head. I had a message and I saw it was from Nira. I guess I hadn't heard it earlier today.

So after opening it, I read that he told Autumn about us and he sent out a team. It somewhat felt nice knowing that since this place wasn't making me feel any better. It was nice and all, but this was a new place with loads of unknown Pokemon. It just made me nervous. So it was nice that Nira did something.

Placing my phone away, I sat down and waited for the others. I was just glad that we will be getting back to Hexa in a few more days...
