~~Hello readers, I hope you enjoyed the previous chapter.

I do not own anything from Pokemon or Miles From Tomorrowland.

Only my original characters belong to me.~~

The Callisto family had just taken Flareon and me in after they found us all alone outside.

I was then taken to a hospital right away to get my sickness treated before it could get worse.

The Stellosphere was on its way to a destination called Tomorrowland which was unfamiliar to me.

I remained asleep on the couch next to Leo as he continued holding and petting Flareon.

Flareon eventually fell asleep on him.

Leo intently watched over both of us.

Hours later, the Stellosphere stopped in mid air.

I woke up and stared out the window.

It looked like we were in outer space.

There were millions of stars everywhere.

"Hey Leo, where are we?" I whispered.

"Welcome to Tomorrowland Sioku," he answered.

"This place looks cool," I replied.

Flareon woke up and shook her head.

"Hi Flareon," I said as I rubbed behind her ears.

She stretched before hopping onto the floor.

"How are you two feeling?" asked Phoebe.

"We're okay," I briefly answered.

I placed my hand on Leo's shoulder and carefully pulled myself up off the couch.

"Wait Sioku, I don't want you to fall. Are you feeling good enough to stand?" asked Leo concerned.

I lowered my head in shame.

"Oops, I'm sorry for making you worry. I feel good because I got some sleep earlier," I answered.

Leo wrapped his arms around me in a loving way. "It's okay Sioku, I just want to make sure you're all right. You certainly look better than when I found you."

I gratefully returned the hug.

Miles happily ran over to us. "Hey Dad, can Merc and I go show her around? Please?"

Merc chirped in agreement.

Leo and I released each other.

"Okay Miles, remember to stay by her side. Don't go anywhere without her," he said firmly.

I gave Leo an awkward look.

"Blastastic!" shouted Miles as he jumped up.

I couldn't help but laugh at his energy.

Loretta quickly walked over to her brother's side. "I'm coming with you guys to help out if necessary."

"The more the merrier," I cheerfully replied.

"Miles has a tendency to brake the rules," Loretta whispered in my ear.

Miles frowned at his sister. "I heard that!"

""It's true," Loretta argued.

"Stop fighting right now," interrupted Leo.

Both kids turned to look at him.

"Yes Dad," they replied in unison.

"You kids may go now," said Phoebe.

"We'll be back soon," I replied.

Flareon ran after me as I followed Miles and Loretta.

We stopped at Loretta's room first.

"Welcome to my room Sioku," she said.

"Thank you," I simply replied.

Flareon and I cautiously entered the room.

Miles and Merc followed behind us.

Loretta's room looked clean and organized.

"You'd better not mess up my room Miles. I'll tell Mom and Dad if you do," Loretta warned.

"I won't touch anything," Miles promised.

"Has he done that before?" I asked quietly.

"Yes, and he got in trouble for it. Miles had to clean up his mess," answered Loretta.

"Awe come on Loretta," groaned Miles.

I saw many pictures of ruins displayed on the walls.

"Hey Loretta, do you like to study?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, studying is my favorite hobby. I like to gather as much information as I possibly can from every planet we explore," she explained.

"That sounds great," I replied.

Loretta then showed me the device on her wrist. "This little gadget right here is my bracelex. It stores information about creatures and aliens from other planets that we visit."

"That's cool," I simply replied.

I watched as Flareon quietly walked around the room.

"What is she doing?" asked Miles.

"She's just exploring," I answered.

"Does she always do that?" continued Loretta.

"Only in a new area," I informed.

A flashback threatened to enter my mind, but I pushed it away by looking at Merc.

I didn't want to accidentally scare my friends.

Miles turned to his sister and grinned. "Hey Loretta, would you mind if Sioku comes to my room now?"

"We should let her decide," answered Loretta.

"Sure Miles, Flareon and I will come with you. This should be fun," I said cheerfully.

"Super stellar!" shouted Miles with joy.

Hearing that catch phrase made me smile.

Miles pointed to his robotic friend. "Come on Merc, let's go show Sioku our room."

Merc squealed in excitement as he followed Miles.

"I'll see you later Loretta," I said as I headed toward the door after Miles and Merc.

"Bye Sioku," Loretta replied.

"Let's go Flareon," I called in the doorway.

Flareon immediately rushed to my side.

Miles happily led Flareon and me across the hall.

He then opened another door.

"Come in you two," he urged.

Flareon and I slowly entered the room.

Unlike Loretta's room, this one was a big mess.

There were many objects scattered all over the floor.

I decided to stay near the door to be safe.

Flareon sat down by my feet.

"This is my room Sioku, sorry about the giant mess. I like to collect things," he said slightly embarrassed.

I let out a nervous laugh. "It's all right Miles, what else do you like to do for fun?"

"I also love to go blast boarding and play hollo games like Galaxis," he answered with glee.

I smiled as a happy and curious thought crossed my mind. "Miles, what is blast boarding?"

"Blast boarding is just like surfing, but you're in the air. Merc and I do it all the time. It's a lot of fun," he answered with a delighted expression.

My heart began to race with elation.

"Hey Miles, is it possible for you and your dad to teach me how to do that?"

"I'll ask him," he answered with a grin.

I joyfully threw my arms around Miles.

He laughed out loud in surprise.

"Thank you so much," I said with a grin of my own.

"No problem," Miles replied.

I sighed dreamily as I imagined Leo and me blast boarding through the sky together.

"Hold on a moment Sioku," said Miles as he pulled a device out of his pocket.

It looked like a high tech boomerang with a laser.

"What is that?" I asked while staring at it.

"This is a laserang, I play with it all the time. I also carry it everywhere with me," he explained.

He held it up in the air and smiled at me. "Your furry friend might chase after this thing."

"Laserang... launch!" shouted Miles as he threw the boomerang across his room.

Flareon immediately took off after it.

I couldn't help but watch.

She followed the object all the way back toward Miles.

"You sure know how to get her going. Flareon already loves that," I said before laughing.

"I played this game with your pet before you came here. She really liked it," he replied.

Miles continued to throw the boomerang for Flareon.

Flareon panted as she ran back and forth.

Their game suddenly came to a stop when a familiar male voice entered the space. "Hello you two, how's it orbiting in here?"

"Great," answered Miles.

My heart instantly skipped a beat as I remembered who that charming voice belonged to.

I saw Leo standing in the doorway.

"Hi Leo!" I hollered while running toward him.

Leo playfully pulled me closer to him. "Come here Sioku, my little galactic spark. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," I answered while hugging him tight.

"You're looking much better," he whispered.

Flareon also joined the hug by resting her front paws on my shoulders, and I rubbed behind her ears.

I laid my head on Leo's chest as he stroked my hair.

Miles perked up as he looked at his father. "Hey Dad, can we take Sioku for a blast board ride?"

"That's a galactic idea Miles," answered Leo.

My face lit up with joy at Leo's response. "Wait a second, do you really mean that?"

"Of course," answered Leo as he released me.

"Awesome! I can't wait," I replied.

Miles pointed to Flareon and looked at me. "Sioku, is your pet allowed to come with us?"

I looked down at Flareon and sighed. "No, I don't want her to fall and get hurt."

"What can we do?" replied Miles impatiently.

"Take it easy Miles," urged Leo.

"We could ask Loretta to watch her," Miles suggested.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a Pokeball. "There's no need to worry, I can still take her after all. Flareon will be safe inside this ball."

Miles' eyes widened with curiosity as he looked at my Pokeball. "Wo, that thing is so cool! Can your pet really fit inside a ball?"

"Yes Miles, that's exactly what a Pokeball is made for. Trainers are allowed to carry up to six Pokemon at a time," I explained.

"That sounds galactic," Miles replied.

I pressed a button on the Pokeball to open it.

"Flareon... return," I commanded.

Flareon hopped into the ball before it closed around her.

"Are you ready to go Sioku?" asked Leo.

"I sure am," I answered gleefully.

"Let's go," added Miles.

Miles and Merc rushed out the door.

Leo grabbed my hand before leading me back into the living room where Phoebe was waiting.

His touch sent me to a world of serene relaxation.

"Hi Phoebe, Miles and I are taking Sioku out for a blast board ride. We'll be back," he said.

"Have fun," replied Phoebe.

Miles decided to start a conversation. "Hey Dad, will Sioku have her own blast board?"

"Not yet Miles, Sioku will ride Moon Shredder with me. It's big enough for the two of us," answered Leo.

Hearing Leo say that caused my heart to flutter.

"That is a huge honor," I said while blushing.

Leo laughed out loud in response.

"Wait here Sioku," Leo instructed before walking away.

I watched as Miles and Leo retrieved their blast boards.

They then returned to my side.

"Sioku, meet Moon Shredder," Leo introduced as he presented his blast board to me.

"That looks like a high tech surf board," I commented.

"That's exactly what it is," replied Miles.

"I built this blast board when I was a kid. It was a project for school," continued Leo.

I stood still as I looked at Moon Shredder.

It was truly a wonderful sight.

My breath was instantly taken away.

All of my bad thoughts had been completely wiped away in this beautiful moment.

I forgot all about Dr. Colress and his machines.

"I can't wait to ride this blast board with you Leo," I said with an ecstatic expression.

"Same here Sioku," he replied.

We exited the ship before entering a smaller one.

"This ship is called the StarJetter," said Leo to me.

"We use it to go on missions," added Miles.

"That's nice," I replied.

I sat in the front next to Leo while Miles and Merc sat in the back.

The StarJetter took off into the sky.

I stared out the window as we flew through space.

Watching the stars prevented flashbacks from entering my mind for a short period of time.

A few minutes later, Leo landed the ship.

"Hey Dad, are we at the Zuma Whirlpool?" asked Miles.

"We sure are," Leo answered.

"Blastastic!" Miles hollered.

Merc happily squealed in agreement.

I perked up with excitement as I looked at Leo. "What is the Zuma whirlpool?"

"It's my favorite surfing spot. I've taken the family here before," he answered with a smile.

"This will be fun," I replied.

Miles and Leo grabbed their blast boards before we exited the StarJetter.

It felt weird being in open space.

"Sioku, are you ready to go surfing?" asked Leo.

"I can't wait," I answered joyfully.

A feeling of elation washed over me as Leo helped me get situated on his blast board.

Leo then climbed on behind me.

My heart began to race with anticipation.

I was feeling both nervous and excited.

Miles and Merc floated beside us.

I smiled and waved at them.

"Stay close Miles," called Leo.

"We will," Miles replied.

Leo put his arm around me as we entered a wave of strong wind. "Here we go Sioku!"

"I'm ready to go Leo!" I hollered back.

I grinned as I leaned into him.

"Let's go Sioku," he said proudly.

I bravely raised my hands in the air.

Leo and I laughed out loud as we continued riding the huge waves inside the whirlpool.

Miles happily followed behind us.

I was definitely on cloud nine.

This peaceful moment in space I was having with Leo helped me forget about my blood extraction.

I couldn't have imagined a happier feeling.

The four of us spent a few hours surfing and having fun at the whirlpool.

Leo carefully steered his blast board out of the whirlpool with Miles following behind him.

"It's time for us to go home now. We will come back here another time. I promise," said Leo.

"Oh okay," replied Miles.

"I had a lot of fun with you guys," I added.

"I'm so glad," Leo replied.

After loading up the blast boards, we took off in the StarJetter once again.

"Hey Leo, I had a great time surfing with you and Miles. Thanks for bringing me here," I started.

"You're very welcome Sioku, we had a galactic time with you too. We like having you around," Leo replied.

"Merc and I agree," continued Miles.

Leo helped me get out of the StarJetter as soon as we landed back at the Stellosphere.

Miles and Merc raced inside first.

"They sure have a lot of energy," I commented.

"That's what I love about them," Leo replied.

"Welcome back Leo and Sioku," greeted Stella as we entered the ship.

"Hi Stella," replied Leo.

Phoebe and Loretta met us in the family room.

Leo and I sat down on one of the couches.

"Did you guys have a good time?" asked Phoebe.

"We sure did Honey," answered Leo.

"It was blastastic," added Miles.

"You can say that again," I replied.

"That's wonderful," Phoebe added.

Phoebe then disappeared into another room.

"May I come with you next time?" asked Loretta.

"Sure Star Shine," answered Leo.

In the midst of our conversation, Flareon emerged from her Pokeball before standing next to me.

"Hi Flareon," I said while petting her.

Flareon wagged her tail in response.

"Wo, that was really cool to see. I've never heard of creatures coming out of a ball before," said Loretta.

"Yeah I know," replied Miles.

"It's galactic," added Leo.

Flareon then jumped into Leo's lap.

"Stay calm Flareon," I ordered.

Leo smiled and ruffled her fur.

"She really likes you," I pointed out.

"I can tell," Leo replied.

Flareon sat down as he embraced her.

I tried to push away an oncoming flashback by staring at Leo, but it didn't work.

The beeping sound of Dr. Colress' medical machines echoed loudly in my head.

This flashback was unavoidable.

I laid down beside Leo and curled up.

Chills rapidly covered my body.

Loretta looked over at me. "Hey Sioku, are you tired?"

There was no response from me.

I just closed my eyes.

"Sioku," called Miles.

I didn't respond to him either.

"Is she asleep?" asked Loretta while walking toward me.

I started to tremble as she touched my back.

Loretta looked at Leo concerned. "Dad, Sioku is shaking next to you. There might be something wrong with her."

Leo looked up at his daughter.

"Thank you for telling me Star Shine. I need you to step back," he replied calmly.

Loretta quietly moved over to a different couch.

Miles and Merc joined her.

Leo gently nudged Flareon.

"Please move over," he whispered.

Flareon hopped onto the floor before shaking off.

"Good girl," Leo praised as he patted her head.

She then laid down beside the couch.

"Come here Sioku," whispered Leo as he carefully lifted me into his arms.

I began to twitch in his embrace.

My heart pounded as I breathed heavily.

"It's okay Sioku, calm down. I'm right here," Leo assured as he held me close.

Leo's words had no effect on me at all.

I was too overcome by intense fear.

Miles and Loretta rushed over to us.

They were shocked to see me like that.

"Is she okay?" asked Miles.

"Dad, what's happening to her?" continued Loretta.

"It's probably a flashback," answered Leo.

The commotion only made things worse.

I let out a nervous yelp.

The shaking in my body intensified.

"You'll be all right," Leo assured.

Leo protectively placed his hands over me.

"Miles, Loretta, please leave this room immediately. I need to calm Sioku down before something bad happens," he said firmly.

Miles and Loretta reluctantly headed out the door with Merc following behind them.

Phoebe met them at the entrance. "Hello you two, it's time to go to bed now."

"Good night Mom," the kids replied in unison.

They quietly walked down the hallway before disappearing into their bedrooms.

Phoebe then entered the family room.

A look of concern spread across her features as she paused and stared at me. "Leo, what's going on in here? Did something happen?"

"Yes Honey, Sioku just started having a panic attack out of nowhere. The kids were worried about her," Leo answered softly.

Phoebe sat down on the couch next to him.

Flareon woke up and looked at her.

Phoebe petted Flareon's head in response.

Leo sighed heavily as he stared down at me.

He then looked up at his wife with sad eyes. "Phoebe, I don't know what to do for her. Miles and Loretta have never had these problems."

Phoebe lovingly put her arm around Leo. "I know Dearest, I'll stay here with you. We will help Sioku come out of it together."

"Thanks honey," Leo replied before kissing her cheek.

Leo then turned his attention back to me.

"Please come back Sioku," he whispered.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes.

"Hey Sioku, are you all right? This is Leo Callisto. Please talk to me," Leo said gently.

I perked up at the sound of his voice.

"I'm here Leo," I whispered back.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief as he embraced me.

Oh Sioku, I was very worried about you. Do you know what triggered your panic attack?" he softly replied.

Being in his warm embrace helped me relax.

"It came out of nowhere," I answered.

Leo tightened his hold on me.

I'm so sorry "Sioku," he whispered.

"It's not your fault," I whispered back.

I snuggled up to him for comfort.

He stroked my hair in response.

"Why do you have these flashbacks?" asked Phoebe.

"I've had post traumatic stress since I was captured by an evil scientist back in my world. He restrained me and then forcefully extracted my blood. I also had my first seizure," I answered with a fearful expression.

Phoebe's eyes widened with horror. "Why in outer space would he do something so awful to you?"

"I was born with a special healing power called cell activation. I can fully heal people and animals by touching and focusing my energy on their wounds. This scientist believes that my power will bring his Pokemon infinite health," I explained.

Leo and Phoebe looked at each other stunned.

"Is that why you have an uncontrollable fear of medical facilities?" asked Leo.

"No, I have always been afraid of them. Getting a simple check-up scares me too," I answered.

"That sounds rough," replied Phoebe.

Leo laid his head on my shoulder. "Sioku, a wonderful gift such as your healing power needs to be protected. I promise to always look out for you."

The softness in Leo's voice helped me relax.

"Thank you Leo," I whispered back.

In the midst of our conversation, Flareon woke up and let out a loud yawn.

I burst into laughter at that.

"Your creature is really cute," complemented Phoebe.

"Thanks, I love it when she does that," I replied.

Flareon then climbed onto the couch next to Leo and me before laying down.

She wagged her tail as Leo and I petted her.

"Flareon loves affection," I said with a smile.

Leo gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "Hey Sioku, Phoebe and I are going to bed soon. Will you be okay in here by yourself tonight?"

"Yes, I've got Flareon with me. Please don't worry too much," I answered.

"Good night Sioku," he replied.

Leo released me before standing up.

Phoebe handed me a blanket and pillow to sleep with before joining her husband.

After getting situated, I snuggled up to Flareon.

They then exited the living room.

Everybody had settled into their bedrooms for the night, and there was nothing but darkness and complete silence on the Stellosphere now.

I wrapped my arms around Flareon and closed my eyes.

The silence allowed me to drift off.

~Morning~

Flareon and I woke up to the sound of a video game coming from one of the rooms.

Being the curious person that I am, I wanted to go check it out.

I stretched and let out a yawn.

"Come on Flareon," I said happily.

Flareon shook off in response.

Flareon hopped onto the floor after I stood up.

We then made our way down a long corridor.

The sounds grew louder as Flareon and I approached the entrance to a large room.

Merc chirped at Miles as he spotted us.

"What is it buddy?" asked Miles.

Miles turned off his hollo game and looked toward the door.

"Good morning Sioku," he greeted.

"Same to you Miles," I replied.

Merc and Flareon calmly sniffed each other.

"How are you feeling?" asked Miles.

"I'm feeling much better today. Thank you for asking," I answered with a smile.

"What happened to you last night?" Miles continued.

"I had a panic attack," I answered.

Miles pointed to his hollo screen. "Hey Sioku, do you want to learn how to play Galacis?"

The idea of exercising while playing a video game caught my interest.

"Of course Miles," I answered in excitement.

"Stella, please load the first level of Galacis," Miles commanded.

"Affirmative Miles," replied Stella.

I watched as a video game loaded onto the hollo system.

"That's really cool," I commented.

"It sure is, Galacis is my favorite game in the world. The rules to Galacis are simple. You have to collect all of the rings before the time runs out. You control your character by moving your body," he explained.

Miles and I then traded spots.

I stood patiently in front of the hollo screen.

Miles pressed a button. "Go!"

I quickly began to move and jump around.

This new workout activity helped me forget all about the panic attack I had last night.

I also forgot about the blood extraction procedure that Dr. Colress performed on me.

Hyper energy surged through my body as I thought about the blast board ride I had with Leo yesterday.

Moving through the obstacle course was fairly easy until I had to work my way around giant floating rocks.

I struggled to move passed the rocks because they kept pushing me backward.

"Getting around those floating rocks was hard for me too when I first played Galacis," Miles commented as he watched the game.

A buzzer went off as soon as I collected ten rings.

"Level one completed. "Nice work Sioku," Stella praised.

"Thank you Stella," I replied slightly breathless.

"Stellar job Sioku! I think you just beat my sister's high score," exclaimed Miles.

"Wow, that's cool," I replied in surprise.

My heart was pounding rapidly in my chest.

Sweat dripped down my forehead as I panted heavily.I carefully stepped away from the hollo game.

"You can play your game now. I need to regain my energy," I said as I sat down on a wooden bench by the wall.

"Thanks, did you enjoy your first game of Galacis?" Miles replied with a wide grin.

"Yes, that game is a lot of fun. I totally want to play again," I answered with the same amount of excitement.

"You can play Galacis with me any time you want to," said Miles as he loaded up his game.

Flareon calmly walked up to me before sitting down by my feet.

"Hi Flareon," I greeted while rubbing behind her ears.

Flareon let out a yawn in response.

My heart rate gradually returned to normal as I rested with Flareon.

Flareon and I spent an hour watching Miles play his hollo game.

In the midst of Miles' game, Leo entered the room.

Miles quickly paused his hollo game and looked toward the door."Top of the morning you two," he greeted.

"Good morning Leo," I replied.

"Hi Dad," added Miles.

Leo sat down on the bench next to me.

I couldn't help but smile at him.

Being in Leo's presence was pure bliss.

Flareon jumped into Leo's lap with excitement while wagging her tail wildly.

"I'm glad to see you too," Leo said as he ruffled her fur.

Flareon shook her ears in response.

She then hopped down onto the floor.

"What are you kids playing in here?" he asked with a kind smile.

"Miles is teaching me how to play Galacis," I answered happily.

"That's very nice of you Myles. Thank you for keeping Sioku entertained," Leo said proudly.

"No problem," Miles replied before continuing his game.

Leo put his arm around me and gently pulled me closer to him. "You're looking much better Sioku, I'm so glad to see you having fun."

"Thank you for helping me," I whispered back.

I rested my head on Leo's shoulder as he embraced me.

Leo and I watched Miles complete another level of Galacis.

A few minutes later, Loretta entered the room.

"Good morning Star Shine," greeted Leo.

"Hi Loretta," I added.

"Hi everyone, Mom wanted to tell you that breakfast is ready. I'll meet you guys in the kitchen," Loretta replied before leaving the room.

Flareon panted as she took off after her.

"Sioku, are you okay with your creature doing that?" asked Leo concerned.

"She'll be fine," I answered.

"Someone's in a hurry," said Miles as he turned off the hollo system.

Leo released me before standing up. "We should start heading over to the kitchen. Loretta and your mother are waiting for us."

I stood up and followed Leo and Miles as they walked back down the long corridor.

We eventually made it to a normal sized kitchen.

The scent of breakfast food filled the air.

"Good morning Phoebe," I greeted.

"Hi Mom," added Miles.

"Good morning you two," Phoebe replied.

Miles, Loretta, and I then sat down at a round wooden table.

Phoebe and Leo joined us a few minutes later.

They handed a plate of food and a cup of orange juice to each of us.

"Thank you," we said in unison.

"You kids are very welcome," replied Phoebe.

Leo looked down at Flareon who was curiously sniffing around the room. "Sioku, what type of food does your creature like to eat?"

"She eats the same foods as we do," I answered.

"That's galactic," replied Loretta.

Leo stood up before preparing another plate.

He then placed it on the ground for Flareon along with a bowl of water.

"Thanks Leo," I said graciously.

"You're welcome," he replied.

Flareon calmly walked over to the plate before eating the food on it.

"I think your pet likes it," said Miles while watching her.

I only nodded in agreement.

After finishing my meal, I carried my empty dishes over to the kitchen sink.

I then returned to the table.

"Hey Phoebe, thank you for the food. It was delicious. Flareon enjoyed it as well," I said with a smile.

"You're most welcome Sioku," Phoebe replied.

Loretta decided to start a conversation and looked at Miles. "Were you playing Galacis again?"

"Yes, and I was teaching Sioku how to play too. She has already beaten the first level," Miles answered proudly.

"That's really helpful of you Miles, I'm glad you two had fun together. Galacis is a perfect distraction for Sioku," replied Phoebe.

"Why does she need a distraction?" asked Loretta.

"I had a panic attack last night," I answered.

Flareon approached me while wagging her tail.

"Are you done?" I asked before laughing.

Flareon sniffed me in response.

I collected her empty dishes off the floor and then placed them in the kitchen sink.

Our conversation was suddenly interrupted when Stella's voice entered the space.

"Attention Callistos, you have an incoming call from admirals Watson and Krick. Please report to the bridge," she announced.

"We're on our way Stella," replied Leo.

We then cleaned up the kitchen before hurrying to the bridge.
