Early in the morning, two days after Luna received the call from Professor Oak, her friends Raichu and the twins along with Elder Fang, Azure and Zoe wondered where they were last waiting for the transport to the lab. Everyone was tensed because they received a somewhat disturbing message from the professor along with some good news. In the call, Professor Oak explained to them that they had successfully captured Professor Smith, but it took them some time to catch him.

Apparently, someone sent him a tip that there was evidence that he was working for Team Rocket, so they had to organize a search for him, because instead of returning to the lab after meeting with his members, he changed direction and went to some kind of shelter. So they were lucky that the professor quickly watched the video that was sent to him and made a copy on a flash drive, because a ten minutes after the professor opened the message and watched the video, someone hacked into his computer and deleted it, and that's why Luna didn't recognize the number when he called her. Professor Oak changed the number and took a new phone so that if they wanted to collect information from it, they would not succeed. Unfortunately, that was the only good news the professor could give them, because when they found Smith, his hideout was full of research equipment as well as unusual but also worrying findings that the professor didn't want to talk about over the phone.

If they somehow managed to hack into the computer, it's possible that it wouldn't take them long to discover that the professor had gotten a new phone and number. So instead of exchanging information via electronic devices, they will do it face-to-face, since the professor decided to come to Professor Smith's lab and meet them there. Also the lab has been thoroughly vetted by Team Rocket moles or any other corporation whether less dangerous or not. The professor also said that he would bring help with him, but as with the information found in Team Rocket's research, he would not reveal who he would bring. The only thing Luna hoped for was that Professor Dervish wouldn't be the help the professor was talking about. Despite the fact that Professor Dervish is not a bad person, he has a great curiosity and looks for the answer to every little thing and does not give up until it reveals all the answers. That's what Luna and the others are trying to avoid as much as possible, and there's no way Professor Dervish will respect that without giving in to his curiosity.

Professor Smith's research was also quite worrisome, especially since it must have been related to crystals and crystal caves, and their primary purpose. The more Luna thought about it the more worried she was about this situation as well as the lucarios tribe which was why Fang, Azure and Zoe went with them. On the off chance that they discovered something about the first role of the Crystal Caves, that would be more than disastrous news, because a team of rockets and power of any kind is a horror combination. When they were near the meeting place Luna, Azure, Zoe and Fang stopped for a moment and looked behind them. All four of them felt two small auras coming towards them, and Luna didn't even need the ability to distinguish between auras to know who they were. Zoe looked quite frustrated while Azure and Fang only wore slightly disappointed expressions sharing the same thought, We should have expected this.' While Luna just let out an ironic breath. Sunny, Star and Raichu looked at each other not knowing what was going on or why they suddenly stopped. "Looks like two more will be joining us." Luna informed Raichu and the twins to which Sunny and Star replied at the same time.- Rio and Luka.- Luna just giggled and then said.- Mio and Rio.- When she said to the twins you could already hear the two little riolus coming towards them but you could hardly see because of the thick bushes and tall vegetation in the area.

They waited a few minutes until the two little sneaks squirmed out of the bushes and noticed that they were all eyes were on them. It was clear as day to Mio and Ryo that they were in big trouble, which made them nervous in a bit of a fit because they could literally feel the tension and anger around Zoe. Before anyone could do anything else says Zoe started scolding Mio and Rio - When are you two going to learn that you can't leave the tribe without telling someone, without an adult or sneaking out at all?!- Fang wanted to stop Zoe and talk to himself with Mio and Rio, but Mio answered first.- We told Flora and Flash that if someone asks where we are, we went with big sister and you. We didn't even leave the tribe ourselves, we were waiting to go to the training ground so we separated and since Rio knew the way there was no problem.- This annoyed Zoe even more, while the twins laughed Zoe's annoyed expression at that which Mio answered her.

Azure beckoned Mio and Rio over to the group and then knelt down so he could be close to Mio's eye level and then started talking to her. - Mio, you are aware that what you did was risky and dangerous. What if something happened to you and we might not have arrived in time to help you. Neither dad nor I could forgive ourself if something happened to you. - Mio started to feel very guilty, because she knew that Leon and Azure started to worry about her even more since her mother was killed in one of Team Rocket's attacks. That's why Mio tries to be the best in almost everything and not to cause trouble so that Azur and Leon don't worry about her. This accident was also the reason why Mio was determined to become an Elder, to protect her tribe and prevent such things from ever happening again. Mio apologized for her actions, and then Azur took her in his arms, and then Luna approached Rio. ,,And you. Do you have something to say, " Rio knew that there was no way out of this, so he was a spark as always and apologized. - So far, you have saved us a couple of times and you regularly help us even if you are often tired and you are not obliged. I wanted to help you somehow, but it seems that the only thing I know how to do well is to cause trouble.

Luna couldn't be mad at the two riolus, because she and Sunny and Star used to get into a lot of trouble as a child like them, so she understood completely how they feel. "The transport should arrive any minute. I'm afraid we won't have time to get them back to the tribe, so it would be best to take them with us if you don't mind." Luna explained to Fang, as she looked at her phone to check the time. -Looks like we have no choice, so you two had better be on your best behavior because, by Arceus, you won't remember the last time you left the tribe. Am I clear.- Rio and Mio nodded in agreement, half taken aback by Zoe's threat , while Luna took Rio in her arms, while they were waiting for the transport. While they were waiting, Raicha took it upon himself and set some rules for Mio and Rio.- If you've got a curious about something don't touch it and don't go into it until you ask us first. It might happen that we're going to talk about very serious things so what's said there stays between us unless Fang gives you permission. And last but not least, if Sunny suggests something risky and If she decides to make trouble again, don't follow her as if your life depends on it. In that case let me or Luna know, ok.- When Raichu finished listing Sunny turned to him and glared at him, - What's that supposed to mean?!- While the others just exhaled and Star commented in an ironic voice. - Last time you tried to butcher Prinplip, just because he splashed you with some water.- This was enough to convince Mio and Rio not to listen to Sunny, but they had to admit that they were quite interested in how it all happened.

Sunny didn't like her little brother teaching her a lesson at all so she was about to start a fight, but Luna intervened. "Don't you dare Sunny, the last time you started an argument with Star you almost crushed a group of meganiums, beyleaf and chikorita by the spring and blew us all away with an explosion." Luna reminded Sunny of the disaster they almost caused that day and decided to he swallowed his pride and temper. But Raichu was very surprised because he wasn't told the whole story, while he thought it was just a small harmless explosion, not strong enough to launch rocks into the air. -When did you plan to tell me Luna, you three could have perished.- The twins knew that Raichu would start bothering them at any moment, but Luna answered him coldly.,, That was almost two years ago and it's nothing serious you know that in the forest Violet in the city, all the pokemons look out for each other, so if something were to happen, we'd have help. And it's not the first time we've gotten into such a mess. So relax, dad."

Raichu had nothing to say to that because he knew as long as Luna was inside those woods she was safe. The real worry started when they set out on this journey and started getting into unimaginable trouble, but everything always turned out well in the end because no one got too hurt. At that moment, they noticed how a smaller truck was slowly approaching them and stopped a few meters from them, and because of the tinted glass, they could not see very well who was inside. "I don't like it when they put tinted windows on vehicles, it always gives me the creeps when I can't see who's in there." Luna commented as the driver's door slowly opened and then a grown man's voice was heard from inside the vehicle. "I didn't know you and Luna's chills rise from us." Raichu, the twins and Luna all shouted in surprise as they couldn't believe who it was that was getting out of the van - Dad/ Josh/ Uncle Josh-.

Luna slowly lowered Rio to the ground and together with the twins ran towards her father and hugged him hard while he returned the glare by spinning her in a circle and then lowered him back to the ground wanting to say hi to the twins as well. When he shared hugs and greetings with the kids, he turned to Raichu and shouted, "Hey buddy, haven't you missed me at all. Come here, old friend." Raichu was waiting for just that and with great concern he ran into another, knocking him to the ground. But Josh didn't care, he just started to rub Raichu's head with one hand while he hugged him around the neck with the other and they were together laughed. - Of course I missed you my brother. - As the two of them rolled on the ground laughing, a surprised group of Fang and the others approached them quite surprised. It wasn't even a second later that the passenger door opened as well and Marina came out of them. "Oh, you two are not going to grow up, are you?" Luna and the twins rushed towards Marina, who hugged her tightly with one roar and stroked her head with the other. Luna could no longer hold back her tears of joy and began to cry with happiness. While Luna was trying to calm down a bit, Josh and Raichu slowly got up and started dusting themselves off. Luna moved down the floor from her mother's embrace and decided to introduce the rest of the party. ,,You already knew Fang and Azure when we talked on video chat ten days ago." Luna gestured towards them as she introduced them, then bent down and picked up Rio again in her hands and stood next to Zoe. "This is Zoe, and this is Rio and Mio." Marina and Josh said goodbye to Fang and Azur first, and then to riolus. When Marina was about to say goodbye to Zoe, Zoe instinctively moved away from her. Even though she thought they weren't a threat, Zoe still found it hard to trust people, even if they were Luna's parents.

However, even if Marina understood Zoe's skepticism, when she noticed the bandaged wound on her shoulder, her eyes filled with emotion that somewhat surprised Zoe. Care, sympathy and traces of sadness could clearly be seen in Marina's eyes as she looked at Zoe's wound. "Luna, What happened?" Luna noticed the way her mom was looking at Zoe's wound, knowing that when it came to her mom there was no playing around with the subject but straight answers. "Team Rocket." That was more than enough of an answer for Marina to ask no further questions, but not for Josh. "What did that bastards do now?" As soon as he said that, Marina elbowed him in the stomach, causing him to let out a small scream of pain. "Josh, watch your vocabulary in front of the kids!" Marina scolded him while the twins, Luna and miraculously Zoe laughed. "Come on, Marina, those aren't bad words, it's not even an insult." Josh defended himself by saying, holding his stomach from Marina's punch. Observing the interaction between Luna's parents, Mio commented. - I like them. - And after her, Rio who started laughing after Josh tried to defend himself with words.-Me too. Especially Luna's dad, he's crazy.-

Luna was glad that they accepted her parents so easily, and she was even more glad that her family was back together. "We'd better hurry, they're waiting for us." The van had two rows of three seats in addition to the front seats, which was just enough for them to fit. In the back row were Azure, Luna holding both Mio and Rio in her lap, as well as Zoe next to her, while in the middle row were Fang, Raichu and the twins. Barely a few minutes had passed since they started, Josh didn't give up until Luna answered his question about what had been happening since they had been on a video call. Marina wanted to scold Josh again especially after trying to distract him from asking that question. Luna knew there would be no escape, but she also didn't want to talk about the serious damage their tribemates had suffered in front of Rio and Mio so as not to upset them.

"One morning while Slash and I were racing, we felt a team of rockets in a nearby canyon. I recorded their conversation and then Slash made a diversion and after that we returned to their tribe. About ten tribesmen went into the canyon along with the twins and Raichu. Elder Shin stopped me before I could go to them and took me with the other riolus to training. When the training was over, Raichu informed me about the injuries, so I helped out with that." Luna recounted in the shortest possible terms as well as the spat the tribe had suffered. After she finished her story, she looked at Zoe who she smiled, happy that she didn't reveal all the details of what was happening to us, while during her story, Raichu typed the rest of the story on the phone that Josh had secretly given him before entering the van, i.e. her fight with Vespiquen. Josh taught Raichu to read and to write while he was traveling with him in the Johto region, in case of emergency. Raichu then with the help of his tail passed the phone to Marina who as she was reading, you could notice the change in the atmosphere around her from warm and lovely to incredibly angry and cold.

,, Luna." Marina's voice thundered through the whole vehicle making even nervous Elder Fang tensed. "Yes, Mom." Luna answered carefully and terrified, trying to rebalance Rio and Mio who jumped and almost fell at Marina's voice. "Can you tell me where your brain was when you decided to fight Vespiquen and Team Rocket alone?" Marina's voice even if it sounded calm Luna knew she was more than angry but totally pissed off. Waiting for Luna to answer when asked, Marina returned the phone to Josh. "It was either that or let him hurt Luke, Rio, Mio and the others who were there with us." The atmosphere around Marina calmed down in less than a second when Luna answered her question. Unable to help herself, Marina smiled and slapped her palm against her forehead, at the same time letting out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.,, As the years go by, you really don't change." This caught the attention of everyone in to the truck, especially Mio and Rio, who listened carefully to Marina. "You are still risky, crazy, stubborn... as well as ready to put other people's safety and happiness before your own." Marina then stopped talking and started looking out the window lost in thought while Zoe patted Luna's shoulder to get her attention.

- Marina has a right you know. You need to stop being so risky or you'll end up badly hurt or worse. I also like your mom.- This last one surprised almost everyone in the vehicle, because from the very start Zoe kept her guard up around Luna's parents and now she is completely relaxed. Everyone who was in shock could not say what to say next. On the other side Azure who was curious and one of those who were not shocked by her answer asked her. - It took you some time to warm up to Luna, but you accepted Marina easily. May I know the reason Zoe.- Slowly Zoe leaned forward so that she could see Azure, who was sitting on the other side of Luna, and then began to explain her statement. - It's simple. I like her character because she practices discipline, keeps to herself, cares for others and as far as I can see she has a strong spirit, which I respect. Especially since she had to raise Sunny, Star, and Luna without going astray.- At those words, Luna and the Twins simultaneously exclaimed ,,Hey,, which made Zoe laugh again. Mio gripped Luna's sleeve to draw her attention to herself. - Luna, your mom is great, but she really scared me a little while ago. - Luna just smiled at what Mio said and thought, If this scared her, what would happen if she saw her in a bad mood plus the damage Me and the twins did when we was younger.' Marina turned around a second later and said,, Back row. I know you mentioned me. So let me hear what's going on." This threw even Azure partially off guard, as Marina responded as if she could hang on to their every word. This caused Eldre Fang to start laughing very loudly, something Zoe and Azure didn't. nor has anyone in the tribe seen since Team Rocket's attacks started. - Do your mom... - There was no need for Zoe to finish her sentence because Luna answered her right away.

,, No. Mom just knows when someone mentions her. I don't know how, because it's a mystery that even my dad doesn't know the answer to." This made the situation a bit tense for them not knowing if they might have said something they shouldn't have. Josh decided to lighten the situation up a bit and said. "You know what, we still have at least an hour's travel ahead of us, why don't we listen to music." Then he took a CD from the cassette opposite the Marina and put it in the radio and waited for the CD to load, while Luna shouted from behind. "Please, tell me you didn't bring your CD." Luna shouted in a pitifully dramatic voice. ,, You bet. Hey Raichu this is our favorite." Raichu happily jumped into his seat standing up and yelled at Josh, even he didn't understand him. -Tell me about it, buddy.- Even the twins got to their feet and started getting ready to start dancing. ,, Mum. Please take the CD out of the radio. All pokemon and people who see us will think we've escaped from an asylum or we're drugged." Luna was serious this time because it wouldn't be the first time her dad and Raichu made a scandal on the road. Once when they passed by the police who saw them singing madly and yelling, thought they were drunk and that's why they stopped them, and the worst part was Luna was with them. - Don't think you might be exaggerating.- Azur asked Luna because in all the time that followed Luna had not seen this kind of behavior on her part. Luna gulped as Marina put on her headphones to block out the catastrophe once it got going. "We warned you. Mio, Rio, cover your ears." When the intro from the CD ended, the beautiful melody of "Country Roads" began, and with it Raichu and Josh singing at the top of their lungs, while the twins and Raichu swayed to the melody of the song. Most of the song sounded totally ridiculous and silly, but when it came to the long notes none of them could guess and his life depended on it. Azure, Zoe, and Fang didn't know whether to laugh at Raichu and Josh's duet, or to rebel when they start shooting long notes that hurt their ears for a while. What was certain was that the atmosphere in the van was more than interesting and cheerful. When the song ended, Luna and the others breathed a sigh of relief but also with laughing at the fresh memory of how funny Raichu and Josh sounded and looked when they sang.


The rest of the way to the lab was pleasant and fun at the same time, after Josh and Raichu's single. When they arrived in front of the Laboratory, Sebastian was waiting for them, who seemed a little worried. When everyone got out of the van, Sebastian came over to greet them all. ,, Long time no see Sebastian, how are you?" Sebastian just sighed and spoke quickly showing the sign that he was being followed. ,, I'm afraid the news isn't the best Luna. What team rocket found is very worrying." This worried everyone, especially Luna who knew Sebastian to some extent who had never been this rude. They all almost rushed to the head in one of the largest areas of the laboratory, where Professor Oak was waiting for them with Ms. Natasha as well as Professor Jupiter and another unknown man. Professor Oak greeted everyone in the laboratory with a warm smile. "I see the whole Blackwood family is together, as well as our new friends." The professor walked over to greet everyone as well as the lucarios. "It's nice to meet you in person this time. My name is Professor Oak." The professor stated as he said hello to Fang and Azur and then continued towards Zoe. Luna then decided to introduce the two riolus who were holding her hand as well as Zoe. "Her name is Zoe, and these two little ones are Mio and Rio." Zoe still avoided close contact with the humans, except for Luna and Marina, even though the auras of everyone in the room were clear and bright.

Professor Jupiter slowly approached Luna as that she scanned her from head to toe and then spoke. "Can't a week go by without you getting into some serious trouble, Luna?" Professor Jupiter asked rhetorically and then began to pat Luna's head while laughing. During her time in the Unova region, Luna and Professor Jupiter became very close, with Luna looking upon her as an aunt. ,, That would be a new record for her and the twins." Luna's mom interjected slowly approaching Professor Jupiter. That comment caused almost everyone in the room to laugh lightly, as almost everyone had learned by now that Luna and the twins along with the Raichu could get into big trouble, but they are always once who solved those troubles. "For those who don't know me, I'm Professor Jupiter from the Unova region." After the professor, an unknown old gray-eyed professor with a gray mustache, sideburns and hair came up. He looked carefully at each member of the Blackwood family and then introduced himself, "I am Professor Rowan from the eastern part of the Sinnoh region." He shouted walking up to Luna and extending his hand to her to greet her. Luna released Rio's paw and held it out to the professor, while Rio grabbed her by the leg of her shorts. "Luna Blackwood, at your service." Luna politely introduced herself while looking the professor directly in the eyes. It seemed to her that he was trying to find something in her, but she didn't know exactly what. "Ok now that we've all introduced ourselves we should get down to serious business" Professor Oak announced loudly getting everyone's attention as he looked at the little riolus and then at Luna, signaling to her that it would not be desirable for them to be present from any reasons. This was also noticed by Fang, which made him skeptical but not for long.

"Mio, Rio, there's a large courtyard in the back. We could wait there until they finish, what do you say." Marina asked them, frowning the same as Luna and Fang, and decided since she wasn't needed at this meeting either, she might as well watch the little ones. Mio and Rio looked at Elder Fang who nodded in approval. For Fang, Marina was a trustworthy person, and considering that she had experience with the twins, she knew that she must be able to deal with Rio and his sneaking around. The riolus let go of Luna's hands and go with Marina, without any objections, which pleased Luna. As soon as Marina left with Mio and Rio, the professor immediately went to the computer with a large monitor and started opening files, which contained research on a small sample of green-blue crystals with a red glow. "When we caught Mr. Smith he was trying to destroy this research on this crystal as well as the information gathered up until then about this piece of crystal that is only found in the Mount Coronet area." Fang, Azure, and Zoe were worried about whether their enemy erased the true purpose of those caves as well as the true power of the crystals themselves. The others looked in amazement at the graphs that showed how much energy the crystals possessed as well as its stability and behavior. "Are you sure these readings are correct Professor Oak." asked Professor Rowan who asked Professor Oak with a surprised and horrified expression while the others looked shocked.

- Elder Fang, you weren't kidding when you said that the crystals possessed indescribable power. Because if only a tiny fraction possesses this kind of energy, I don't think I even want to know how much a whole cave full of such possesses.- Raichu commented, hardly believing what his eyes were showing. You could feel the tension, surprise and fear in the room as the professor changed the graphics on the screen one by one, while Raichu briefly explained what they were showing. ,, If this is true, and if these crystals are located on Mount Coronet, we would have picked up a signal of incredible strength by now. Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that no one ever noticed it?" Sebastian asked as he checked the energetic images of the Shinnoh region on his tablet. "You're right. if there was something to neutralize it, that can stop us from picking up. "Professor Jupiter presented her theory which everyone agreed with as Luna grew more and more nervous and felt more and more pressure on her. ,, But this is not all we found. On his computer were also recordings of experiments with a single piece of crystal. Sorted by dates from six months ago. I looked at a couple of them on the way here and I can say that this is beyond disturbing." Professor Oak went into one of the first videos, which showed a much more equipped lab with a couple of men setting up some unusual devices for a glass chamber with a large numbers of cables connected to machines that measure something, while one of them they pretended to be the head professor talking into the camera.

At first he explained the research reports they had seen before. After a short presentation he entered the laboratory one of the rocket team members with a terrified azurill, who he held tightly in his hands and then slowly put him in a glass box and then closed it so he couldn't escape. The professor in the video was explaining how with the help of one of the device, they can extract very small amounts of energy from the fragment they managed to get their hands on. They hypothesized that with the proper direction of energy, it could make pokemon gain greater strength, speed and even increase their these attack powers. They also mentioned that the raw energy of the crystal can cause slight mutations in the organism exposed to it, making it a more powerful organism, which they will verify with an experiment. After which, somehow, the energy from the crystal was transferred via a cable to little azurill, who was screaming and throwing himself around the glass box in pain. After a few minutes his body started to change, he almost doubled in size, his fur became lighter and then all the energy was released breaking the glass box leaving azuril motionless lying where the glass box was. Later in the video, it was determined that azurili's death was due to an excessive amount of energy that crushed all his internal organs and since the organism could not absorb more energy when it died, which was the reason for the sudden release of energy that broke the cage.

The video ended, leaving everyone in the room terrified, disgusted, furious, but at the same time, almost everyone tried to keep their temper, knowing that it would not help. Zoe had the most trouble keeping her temper and anger from smashing the screen as she was disgusted with Team Rocket. Then he played a couple more videos that went further into the research, where some,, mutated,, pokémon managed to survive for a maximum of two days, until the energy from the crystal did not completely kill them. Some pokemon were just mutated while others gained strength or speed but none of them could survive for long. They couldn't watch this anymore, so Professor Rowan and Josh shouted one after the other because Sebastian was completely speechless from the video and Professor Jupiter and Luna looked very shaken. So much so that it seemed that Luna would go into a mental shock at any moment. ,, Please tell me that you are determined to reveal the location of this laboratory of terror." Josh shouted followed by Professor Rowan, "This is completely un-ethnic, illegal and psychopathic. This has to be stopped." Professor Oak somehow found the strength to smile a little and answer. "It already is. And from the very person who is with us now."

He then looked directly at Luna and almost everyone seemed shocked by Professor Oak's response. Even Luna didn't know exactly what he was talking about when she had never come across such an experiment by Team Rocket. Professor Oak noticed that Luna was even more confused and they were looking at each other in shock, not making things any easier for her, so he played the last video. This time, the video showed a larger room similar to the laboratories as in the previous videos and seems to them as they were about to start another one of the experiments again, but suddenly one of the guards ran in and yelled at the professor. "Sir, we have problems. We've spotted intruders in our base." The professor didn't like it when the guard interrupted his research and replied,, You can take care of a few minor annoyances yourself." But the guard did not leave, but continued this way and shouted in panic. "That's not a problem, the problem is that they already given away our location and a large number of police units as well as rescue planes are on their way here and will be here any minute." This had already caught the professor's attention causing fear to suddenly dominate his face. "Couldn't you have conveyed that to me first. Gather all the members while I delete the data." The guard ran out of the lab and the professor didn't care about camera at first because he immediately started deleting all the information about his research at the same time sending it to other bases. After a few minutes, he successfully deleted all the data from the server when a large number of agents came in and said. "Everyone has prepared for evacuation and is waiting for us at the back exit." When the guard said that and was waiting for the professor's command, Luna's voice was heard. "They will have to have wait for long, because you are not going anywhere but to prison." They all looked towards the open window in the lab ceiling to see Luna with two oshawotts by her side, who started spraying everyone in the lab with their water jet. After their attack stopped the professor laughed and said, "I'm sorry kid but a little water isn't enough to stop us." This time it was Luna who started laughing, making the others nervous and even the professor. "Who said we were done. Now Raichu!" Then Luna and the water pokemons moved to make room for Raichu, who used a thunder attack, which the water sent through the entire room, causing everyone and everything to be hit, ending the video.

This refreshed Luna's memory. It was the penultimate case in the Unova region, when she saved a bunch of pokemon from Team Rocket, but they couldn't find anything because the database was wiped. Everyone in the room looked at Luna, Raichu and the Twins with pride and admiration, even the lucarios were somehow proud to call Luna a friend like the rest of her group. Luna on the other hand felt guilty because it took her so long to find that lab, and that many pokemon died because she wasn't good and fast enough. She also thought that if they had better plan, they could have pick up with all this information when they broke into the base. Luna bit her bottom lip trying not to let out a cry and clenched her fist in her lap trying to stop her body from shaking. Luna's dad as well as Raichu and the other lucarios noticed that Luna was struggling to keep from snapping and falling apart in front of everyone, but when they tried to give her a hand of support and comfort, she just straightened her head and spoke. ,, You had something else to share with us professor or to ask." Luna said with a fake calm face she put on within a second. The professor realized that Luna wanted to finish as soon as possible so she could go back and teach the team rocket won't forget the lesson as long as they live. The professor took this as a sign to continue and hesitatingly asked Luna.,, Luna. In order to know how to stop Team Rocket we would have to know what we were up against and I know there are things about this you don't want to share with us. But this is urgent." Luna thought to herself. ,And more than you can imagine, professor, and more than you think. But those are not my secrets.' Azur walked up to Luna and put his paw on her shoulder, which made Luna hesitantly look into his eyes, which almost said by themselves,, what should I do?,,. Azure then informed her, as well as Zoe and Elder Fang.

- I think we should tell them everything. - Fang wasn't sure what his tribe would say to this, after it was promised that the secret should never leave the mountain. - I agree with Azur. This is a very serious situation and we cannot do everything by ourselves. We will have to inform other tribes about this. - This surprised everyone, that Zoe would agree to something like this in the first place, or even propose it herself. Elder Fang didn't linger but just told Luna to tell them everything when they asked. ,, I will answer professor but first I have to admit something." Luna didn't want only Lucarios secrets to be exposed and hers to be safe. At this moment everything is coming out and Luna doesn't want to run or be afraid anymore because it's time to do something ..,, In every region I've been to, you've asked me where I get some information or how I know where to look..." Luna told them the whole story, this time not leaving out a niche. Her father looked at her even more proudly, but also worried about the reaction of the other professors. Azure, Raichu, the twins as well as Josh didn't move from Luna the entire time wanting to support her at any moment as well as protect her if such a situation arose. The professors looked at Luna in astonishment, not knowing what to say, because this time they were completely dumbfounded. When Luna finished Sebastian turned to Professor Oak and asked him.,, You knew about this all along." To which Professor Oak could do nothing but nod his head in confirmation which partially calmed the rest of the lab. First the person who spoke was Professor Jupiter,, I can't believe what you've been through Luna. But that doesn't mean I'm going to look at you any differently than before. Having the ability to aura doesn't make you any different than the Luna I met when came to the Unova region." Professor Jupiter winked at Luna and smiled slightly. Those words were enough to reassure Luna about her abilities, but not about the whole situation that happened. Professor Rowan and Sebastian agreed with Professor Jupiter and her words, which made it easier for everyone knowing they didn't have to fight them.

Then Luna began to tell everything that Fang and the others had told her about those caves, which provided a lot of answers to many questions. "That would explain why we never picked up a signal from those rocks, as well as the large number of Missile Team agents with amnesia at the base of Mount Coronet." Luna knew Professor Oak would be a little disappointed that she'd lied to him about the case with the explorers, but he also understood the circumstances under which it was done so he let her pass this time. ,, If Team Rocket knew the true power of those crystals as well as the existence of the legendary trio, I can't imagine what they could do with just one fragment crystals were able to create this kind of terror and horror." Josh commented which worried the others as well, if this information fell into the wrong hands. "What we talked about here must not be heard anywhere else." Everyone agreed that this secret should not be mentioned anywhere else, after which Fang intervened with words. - We will need a new work plan, because like this it can't go on.- Luna listened intently to what Fang had to say about all of this. -We'll have a meeting with the rest of the tribes in three days. During that time we'll tell the rest of the tribe what we've learned here.- Fang informed Azure and Zoe. Luna saw that they too needed to tweak their plan a bit if they were to be at all effective. "We need to come up with a slightly better plan of action. Do you have any suggestions." Natasha was among the first to offer herself and told Luna directly.

,, I plan to build a medical tent in the place where you left the captured members of Team Rocket. By all accounts, things are about to get worse not only for you but also for the pokemons in the area. So I think it would be helpful to have a doctor around, just in case." Luna liked the suggestion, especially the episode she had experienced after the fight in the canyon. If the injuries were more serious, she might not be able to save them, so having professional help nearby is more than welcome. Fang also liked the offer, to have someone with a great knowledge of healing nearby, so that if something more serious happened, they would have help nearby. Not long after, Josh also called,, Marina and I will go with you. It won't be safe if you go alone, and if Team Rocket appears you'll need help." Everyone agreed that it was a smart idea, and considering that Josh is one of the specialists in his region, he is well prepared for such situations.,, Me and Professor Jupiter will go with you as well. Professor Rowan and Sebastian will stay in the lab and make sure it continues to work just in case there are any more moles." So they came up with the initial plan and decided to change it further as needed. as they agreed on the finer points. Sunny yelled loudly that everyone's whose. -Okay now that we've got that all sorted out, we could eat. It's past lunch time and I'm starving.- Raichu and Star giggled at Sunny's overacting and drama while Luna let out a breath and shook her head muttering, "Sunny, when are you not hungry?" Luna asked her ironically, getting the attention of everyone in the lab who were smiling at the goofy pink pokemon. I think we could all take a break if you agree." Natasha suggested and everyone in the lab agreed to take a break to grab a bite to eat.
