Casey directs her attention towards her friends and she can't help but smile when she sees just how happy they look. Buizel's stood beside Ash whilst Aipom's stood beside Dawn, and to Casey both the trainers and Pokemon look happier than they ever have before. Despite her dazed state, it doesn't take long for her to figure out what happened: Ash and Dawn must've dealt with Team Rocket whilst she was incapacitated.

Dratini and Glameow, now free from Team Rocket's grasp, run over to their trainers, both Casey and Zoey relieved to see that they're both okay. Sure, Casey wasn't exactly much help, but at the end of the day she's just glad that Dratini and Glameow are safe and that Ash and Dawn can work well with Buizel and Aipom respectively. She has no doubt that they'll go through with the Pokemon trade now.


"Aipom, Swift, go!"

Aipom does as Dawn's commands and releases an onslaught of golden stars from its tail. The stars curl around Casey, Ash and Brock, who are stood just opposite Dawn as they watch her train for her upcoming contest. Aipom then uses its Focus Punch attack to knock a single star into the fast-spinning circle of stars above their heads, that one star ricocheting around the circle before breaking it up, sprinkling golden stardust over the nearby area. It sure is a beautiful combination.

"That was awesome, Aipom!" Casey compliments as the Long Tail Pokemon perches on Dawn's shoulder, "You and Dawn make a great team!"

"Thanks! We've been making lots of changes to Focus Punch to make it look great!"

They arrived in Solaceon Town only yesterday. It is where the next Pokemon Contest is after all, and considering that it's on the way to Veilstone City, it only made sense to stop there for the Pokemon Contest. It's the perfect chance for Dawn to bounce back after her loss in Hearthome City, after all.

"Piplup, can you be our opponent?"

Casey watches with curiosity as Dawn has Piplup use Bubblebeam up in the air. At first she's incredibly confused, but it all becomes clear with Aipom's next attack.

"Aipom, use Focus Punch!"

Aipom leaps up into the air and begins to punch at the numerous water bubbles in the air, punching so fast that it looks as if it's punching more than one bubble at once! It looks like Aipom's got two tails!

"What's that?!" Ash gasps, watching Aipom perform the move with awe, "It's like Aipom's got two tails! That's awesome!"

"I wanted it to look like Aipom's attacking two places at once with just one Focus Punch."

Casey listens to Dawn with innate interest; that last part really catches her attention. From what she's hearing, it sounds like Aipom's learnt a new move. Casey's sure that she's heard of a move like that before. She decides to check the Pokedex just in case and she's quick to find a move description that matches the criteria that Dawn's described.

"Double Hit. A single attack that causes damage twice."

"Double Hit?" Dawn peers over at Casey's Pokedex curiously, "What's that all about?"

Casey pockets her Pokedex and nods over at Aipom with a smirk, "That's the move that Aipom just used. You taught it a new move, Dawn."

"I did?"

Dawn seems both happy and surprised to learn about Aipom's new move, and Casey can't deny that her reaction is kinda priceless. She's seen that kind of reaction before though, and in all honesty she probably does the exact same thing a lot of the time without even realising it. Still, it is nice to see another trainer experience the joy of the accomplishment of discovering a new move, even if they didn't realise it at first.

"I'd say Aipom's pretty close to evolving after learning that move." Brock remarks.

Evolve, huh? What does Aipom evolve into anyway?

"Really! I wonder what that would be!"

"Ambipom."

Casey and the others turn around when they hear a familiar voice call out to them, all of them smiling when they see that it's Kenny, Dawn's old friend who's also an aspiring coordinator. He must be here to compete in the upcoming Contest.

"The evolved form of Aipom is Ambipom." He says, a confident and knowing smirk plastered across his face as he approaches.

"Kenny!" Dawn smiles at her long time friend, wasting no time in greeting him hello, "How's it going?"

"Great!" He replies honestly, a sudden mischievous glint flickering in his eyes. Casey has a feeling that she knows that's coming, "Though I am surprised that you didn't even know the evolved form of Aipom, Dee-Dee."

"Don't ever call me Dee-Dee again!"

Casey stifles a laugh at Dawn's sudden outburst. She really hates being called Dee-Dee, though she, Ash and Brock haven't got a clue why. They don't even know why he calls her Dee-Dee.

Casey figures that she may as well try and find out.

"Why exactly do you call her Dee-Dee, anyway?" She asks as she looks over at Dawn, the bluenette turning her angry attention towards her in an instant.

Dawn practically knocks her over in order to make her be quiet. She's quick to slap her hand over Casey's mouth to prevent her from saying anything else, staring at with a murderous glare. Seriously, if looks could kill, Casey would be eight feet under right now.

"Don't you even dare, Casey! Don't you dare!"

Casey holds her hands up in surrender, backing up from Dawn with a fearful expression on her face. Dawn sure is terrifying when she's mad, "Okay! Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Her apology seems to be enough for Dawn as the fiery bluenette chooses to back away, much to the relief of Casey and the amusement of the guys. Usually Casey would find Dawn's often overdramatic outbursts funny, but it's a whole other ballgame when that outburst is directed towards you. It's absolutely horrifying to say the least.

"So, you'll be in the contest right?" Kenny asks, Casey silently thanking him for moving the topic of conversation along to something else. She doesn't know if she can cope if Dawn gets mad again.

"Of course!"

"That's great!" Kenny replies with a friendly smile, "It was too bad about Hearthome City."

Casey glances over at Dawn in concern. She knows that Contest losses are a sensitive topic for her; she notices that her face goes dark for a moment as she turns away from Kenny, something that's half a grimace yet half a wistful smile coming to her face. The last thing that Casey wants is for her to get upset about it.

"This time there's no need to worry!" Dawn looks back to Kenny with a wide smile on her face, "I'm ready!"

Well, that sure was a surprising response.

"I'm glad to hear that!" Kenny smiles before directing his attention to Ash and Casey, "So, Ash, Casey. How many badges do you guys have now?"

"Just the two." Casey replies swiftly, reaching into her pocket and withdrawing her badge case to show Kenny the badges, "We've both got Oreburgh's and Eterna's."

"Wow! That's awesome!" Kenny compliments, "You guys sure have been working hard!"

"Hey, I've got an idea!" Ash suddenly proclaims, looking over at Kenny with a determined expression on his face. Casey recognises that expression: it's Ash's battle face, "Kenny, why don't we finish up our battle?"

Kenny looks apprehensive about the idea almost instantly, so Casey isn't surprised when he declines the offer. What does surprise her, however, is what he says he's doing instead of taking up the battle offer.

"I was just heading on over to see Dialga and Palkia right now."

Casey practically does a double take. She, and the others, stare at Kenny with wide eyes, confusion plastered across their faces and their mouths agape in shock at his statement.

"What?!"


Casey can't help but be in awe as Kenny leads them to the exterior of the apparently infamous Solaceon Ruins. When he had said that he was going to see Dialga and Palkia, it turns out that he actually meant he was going to see the statues of the Space-Time Legends at the Solaceon Ruins. Sure, they aren't the real things, but Casey has to admit that they are rather awesome.

"These are the Solaceon Ruins, the ruins of the temple where people once paid tribute to Dialga and Palkia." Kenny explains, coming to a halt near the front entrance to the ruins, "There are lots of places like this in Sinnoh."

Casey knows that Kenny's right about that. Sure she hadn't heard about the Solaceon Ruins before today, but she seems to remember her grandfather telling her all about ancient sites scattered across the region when she was much younger. People in Sinnoh really do treasure the Space-Time Legend.

"Look here!"

Casey heads over to Dawn when the bluenette suddenly calls out. She's stood by what seems to be some kind of ancient carving. Though the letters on said carving have suffered the effects of time and exposure, she can still make out the phrase that is written on the stone, and it turns out to be a phrase that she recognises.

"When every life meets another life, something will be born."

Casey can't help but smile at that. Of course she knows it as of curtesy of Cynthia, who told them that exact phrase back in Amity Square a while back. Sure, Amity Square was a rather...unorthodox experience for Casey to say the least, but at least she can look back on it with a smile when she thinks about that phrase.

She still doesn't understand what it means, but it still fascinates her all the same. In fact a lot of things about the Sinnoh Space-Time Legend fascinates her and when given the opportunity she's eager to expand her knowledge on the subject.

And right now, she sees an opportunity to do just that in the ruins. It may sound kinda off, but she wants to go exploring, though she doesn't know how to express that to her friends. Ash and Kenny are both stood to the side along with Dawn, the two boys discussing something about their proposed battle from earlier; Casey doesn't want to interrupt their conversation just tell them that she's walking off and leaving them. It just seems blatantly rude to her.

Thankfully Brock, being as observant as ever, seems to practically read her mind, as the tall boy gestures off to the front entrance to the ruins with a knowing smile.

"We'll wait out here. It'll give Ash and Kenny the chance to have that battle."

Casey gives Brock a thankful smile, silently expressing her gratitude for his understanding nature. She takes the chance that she's been granted and walks up the stone staircase leading into the ruins, taking a deep breath before stepping inside the historical site.

Oh, yeah! This is gonna be awesome!


"From itself, two beings the Original One did make. Time started to spin. Space began to expand."

Casey reads yet another inscription with vivid interest, ensuring that she takes mental notes of the phrase like those before it. She kinda wishes that she brought a notebook along with her in order to take notes, but in hindsight that was never in the realm of possibility. She didn't even know about these ruins just a few hours prior. Still, the fascinated young trainer has spent her admittedly short time in the ruins taking mental notes of everything that she's seen and read; her interest continues to increase the longer she remains in the ruins.

A lot of the things that she's read about have revolved around time and space, though that's a given considering that these ruins revolve around Dialga and Palkia. She's also seen the 'Original One' mentioned across various different inscriptions, though she doesn't have a clue who or what the 'Original One' is. It's just another mystery to add to the list, which in her eyes only warrants further exploration.

Of course, said exploration is kinda hard when what your exploring is the equivalent of an overcomplicated labyrinth. Casey's been exploring for so long that she's honestly not sure where she is anymore. All she knows is that she's definitely not on the bottom floor of the ruins anymore as she seems to recall walking up numerous stone staircases during her time in the ruins.

What she needs right now is a waypoint. Something that can give her a sense of where she is; a beacon of light and hope to find her way out of the ruins that, as much as she loves to explore, she's got to leave at some point.

Funnily enough, she receives that 'beacon of light and hope' that she was wishing for, though she feels as if the statement was taken rather literally.

She pauses abruptly when she notices a bright source of light shining out just ahead of her. It's shining through a relatively small gap between the floor of the ruins that she's on and the one below it; she could just about squeeze through the gap if she tried.

What in the world is that?

After a brief spell of hesitation the young trainer decides to go and investigate. She crosses the distance between herself and the gap exposing the light, kneeling down and peering through it once she's close enough to investigate further.

What she sees is a shock to say the least.

"Yes. Exactly as our leader said."

An unfamiliar man is stood in the middle of a small chamber along with a Bronzor and two other people who look awfully similar to each other; they look more like clones than people, though Casey knows that's impossible. One thing that they all share in common is their attire. Though the blue-haired man's clothing differs slightly from that of the other two people, all of their clothes have the bold letter 'G' emblazoned on them. Casey doesn't have a clue what the 'G' stands for, though she does come to the logical conclusion that the people must all know each other and are here as a collective. It's almost as if they're wearing some kind of uniform...

She's soon distracted from the people in the room by the source of bright light in the middle of the chamber. It's some kind of triangular carving that's being lit up somehow; Casey also notices that certain carvings that look awfully similar to letters are beginning to glow as well, which is something that the blue haired man seems to be pleased about.

"It's been a long time Team Rocket."

Team Rocket?!

Casey hadn't even noticed that the nefarious trio were here so it comes as a shock when the three of them fearfully step into the room from behind an opening in the chamber.

What are they doing here? When did they even get here?

Out of the glowing ground a small golden cube arises as the last of the carvings on the wall begins to glow brightly. Casey still doesn't have a clue what's going on, but she does know that the only way she'll find out is if she keeps watching, no matter how bizarre the whole situation seems.

"Tell me, know what this is?" The blue haired man asks, not bothering to look over at Team Rocket as he stares at the floating cube before him. Casey notes that he seems transfixed on the obscure object.

"Treasure, sir!"

"That which will transform Sinnoh's Space-Time into reality."

What in the world does that mean?

Casey doesn't exactly have the time to ponder on that, as what happens next captivates all of her attention almost instantly. Much to her surprise the glowing 'carvings' on the walls of the chamber begin to materialise and extract themselves from the wall; soon the entire chamber is filled with what Casey assumes are Pokemon, though she's unsure since she's never seen this kind of Pokemon before. The 'Pokemon's' eyes are closed, but Casey knows that they can't be asleep because they're moving ever so slightly.

She reaches into her pocket and withdraws her Pokedex, hoping that the high-tech device can provide her with the answers that she needs. She aims the device at the first Pokemon she sets her sights on, which just so happens to look similar to the letter 'C'.

"Unown, the Symbol Pokémon. Unown use telepathy to communicate with each other. Many different shapes of Unown have been discovered."

At first she's worried that the people in the chamber below may have heard the robotic voice of her Pokedex but they thankfully don't notice it, even as Casey puts the device back into her pocket and continues to watch everything unfold below her.

"Unown, open!"

The Unown respond to the command of the blue-haired man and snap their eyes open simultaneously, all of them directing their attention to the man that ordered them to awaken. He seems pleased with their reaction.

"We shall change the world! The cube that you now guard contains the very power that will make this all possible!"

The man reaches out and grabs the cube in front of him, which doesn't go down well with the Unown. The angered Symbol Pokemon begin to surge towards the man, who remains surprisingly calm as he gives an order to his Bronzor.

"Alright, Bronzor, Confuse Ray!"

Bronzor's eyes glow purple as it rises above all of the Unown; it release numerous dark purple beams of energy which strike all of the Unown, stopping them dead in their tracks as they cry out in pain and snap their eyes shut. Team Rocket duck down as well to avoid the rays and as they do the three mysterious people and Bronzor decide to take their leave. They slip past Team Rocket and walk through the main entrance to the chamber, the golden cube firmly in the hands of the blue-haired man as they head for a nearby staircase.

She still doesn't know who they are or what they want, but she knows that they aren't good people. They stole something that belongs to the Unown and chose to terrorize them for absolutely no reason, and for that reason alone Casey knows that she has to go after them.

She moves away from the gap where she is looking into the chamber and begins to search the nearby area for the mysterious people. She knows that they're on the same level of the ruins as her as she watched them head up a staircase only moments ago. It's just a matter of her figuring out exactly where they are.

"We have five minutes to reach the rendezvous point, sir."

She pauses abruptly when she hears a gruff voice just around a nearby corner. She quickly ducks behind a nearby stone slab with yet another inscription upon it as the mysterious people turn the corner, the gruff voice belonging to one of the grunts. She peers over at them cautiously, not wanting to expose her location to them just yet. She still doesn't know how'd they'd react to seeing her, but she has a feeling that they wouldn't like it.

"We have the Spear Key." The blue-haired man smirks, "Reaching the rendezvous point is childs play at this point."

"Yes, sir!" The grunts respond in unison, continuing to march behind the other man in perfect sync. They're clearly the subordinates to him.

Casey watches with bated breath as the three mysterious individuals turn another corner, breathing a sigh of relief when they're out of sight. That relief is short though as the perceptive trainer is quick to think back to why she hid in the first place. She needs to find out what they're up to. With that in mind, she cautiously moves out of her hiding place and begins to head on after the people, treading as lightly as she can to avoid gaining their attention. She's gonna need the element of surprise on her side in order to pull this off.

She relies on that element of surprise as she carefully follows after the group of mysterious people through the ruins; she almost bursts into cheers when she sees a exit a couple of minutes later. She moves to stand at the exit as the people step outside, cautiously glancing through at them from where she's concealed behind the entranceway as she listens in on them.

"How long until they arrive?"

One of the grunts looks down at a watch on his left wrist before looking back up to the blue-haired man, "Two minutes, Commander Saturn."

Saturn, huh? So that's his name.

Casey looks over at Saturn with intrigue. He's the boss here for sure but the question is, what is he the boss of? They called him 'Commander Saturn', so he has to be a part of something. An organization perhaps? That's something that she's desperate to find out.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Casey's eyes go wide when her Pokétch suddenly begins to beep on her wrist for no apparent reason. Just her luck that her Pokétch decides to play up at this time. She's never had any problems with it before and it chooses to go wrong now? The sudden beeping noise doesn't go unnoticed by Saturn and his goons, as the three of them turn around before Casey can even switch off the inconvenient device.

"Hey, kid! What are you doing?!"

She tries to make a run for it, not really thinking straight through her panic. Despite her attempts at getting away the two grunts easily catch up to her and put an instant stop to her efforts. They effortlessly grab her by the arms and pull her back outside of the ruins to Saturn, who stares down at her with a scowl plastered on his face.

"What are you doing here?!"

"I suppose I should ask you the same thing." Casey replies, gulping heavily as she tries to wash away her fear. Saturn sure is trying to intimidate her. She motions down to the cube in his hands, "You stole that Spear Key from the Unown. You might want to give it back."

"You might want to watch your mouth!" Saturn scowls, "I asked you a simple question and I expect an answer! What are you doing here?!"

Casey chooses to once again not give him the satisfaction of an answer. She directs her attention towards the Spear Key in his hands instead, speaking to Saturn in an almost mocking tone, "Why is it called a Spear Key, anyway? It sure doesn't look like a key or a spear."

"I wouldn't expect you to understand. You are just an insolent child." Saturn responds, a rather self-confident smirk plastered across his face, "You could never understand the complexity of our genius plan."

"What plan are you-?"

She doesn't get the chance to finish that question before she feels a sudden surge of familiar power course through her body, taking over her body just like it did back at Amity Square. She closes her eyes in order to centre her thoughts, to ground herself from this power, and when she opens her eyes she's surprised by what she sees before her.

"What have you done?!"

She's seeing something again. She knows that right off the bat. It's like before, though this place is much brighter. She can see where she's going, though she can't tell where she is. She's in some kind of dark void, though at least she can see the people around her this time. On the one side is a familiar face: Gary Oak. He's stood there, his face contorted with anger as he stares at the three people directly opposite him. She may have only met Gary once, but he didn't even look this mad after the whole situation with the Shieldon. Whatever's happened here sure has got him riled up.

She recognises one as Saturn instantly, his unique blue hair being his defining feature. Two unfamiliar women are stood beside him, their flamboyant hair colors and styles helping them stand out just as much as Saturn. One has long purple hair whilst the other has rather short red hair. She also notices that they're clad in similar uniforms, that oh so familiar golden 'G' visible in the front and centre of all three outfits. They look pleased with themselves.

"Excellent work Pokemon Hunter J. I hope that you're not hurt."

Casey's surprised to hear Pokemon Hunter J's name mentioned and she's even more surprised when she sees the nefarious Pokemon Hunter off to the side, taking her usual position atop her coveted Salamence. She's amazed that she hadn't noticed her presence right off the bat.

"You see, we couldn't just let ourselves be pushed around by the legendary trio." The purple haired woman chimes in, a confident sneer plastered across her face, "We are the chosen ones, after all."

Casey doesn't have a clue what she means by the 'chosen ones'. What have they been chosen for? If Saturn's involved, she knows that it can't be good.

"Hunter J, well done. You have your payment as agreed." Saturn says. The Pokemon Hunter then disembarks without another word, soon disappearing into the dark abyss that surrounds them, Casey watching as she fades away.

"Saturn, sir! The legendary trio are secure and ready for transportation, sir!"

Casey turns back towards Saturn and his presumed colleagues as he talks to a grunt, giving him an order before looking over at Gary, "You shouldn't have tried to get in our way, you fool! Our plan will succeed!"

Saturn clearly isn't playing around but nor is Gary, as the riled up boy is quick to respond with his own snide retort, "You'll never get away with this!"

She snaps back to reality then, panic settling in across her face as she thinks about what she just witnessed. That's the second vision she's had now, though this one was far clearer than the fast. Now she has an idea about who's involved in them, and she has the opportunity to confront one of them right now.

"You know who Pokemon Hunter J is!" She yells, her anger boiling by the second as she glares at the now rather speechless man before her, "You paid her to steal the legendary trio for you! You're using them for something! That's your plan!"

Saturn stands there for a few moments in shock, confusion plastered across his face at her sudden proclamation. He's looking at her as if she's absolutely insane. It's as if he doesn't have a clue what she's on about; that's why what he does next comes as a total shock to Casey.

"Bronzor, use Confuse Ray."

Casey knows what's coming and as of such tries to break away from the vice-like grip of the grunts, but she's unable to do so before Bronzor fires a dark purple beam of energy right at her. Fatigue instantly washes over as her entire body weakens, her attempts at breaking free becoming more futile by the second. She glares up at Saturn as her body slumps, the Commander looking down at her with a smirk of satisfaction on his face.

"Bronzor, now use Hypnosis."

The last thing she sees are Bronzor's glowing eyes before her world goes dark, all of her thoughts of the ruins fading out of her recent memory as she passes out.


When she next opens her eyes she feels confused and disorientated. She hasn't got a headache or anything, but she definitely feels woozy. It's kinda like waking up bright and early in the morning, except right now she has no clue where she is. There's a light directly above her, though it's not vividly bright or anything like that. It's dim, but that's probably because there's some light pouring into the unfamiliar room from a nearby window. She also comes to the logical conclusion that she's in a bed. The ground is nowhere near as soft as what she's laying on, so she has to be in a bed. The question is, how did she get where she is?

"She's awake!"

Casey almost jumps out of her skin when she hears a familiar feminine voice shout out suddenly; she hears numerous footsteps rush into the room moments later. She does her best to push herself up and have a look, only managing to push herself up enough to lean against the headboard of the bed. Still, it's enough for her to see who's entered the room. It's her friends. Ash, Dawn, Brock. They're all there, and they all look really worried.

She gives them all a tired smile, speaking to them in a groggy and disorientated voice, "Hey, guys. What's up?"

At that moment, the three of them all let out heavy sighs of relief, which only confuses Casey even more.

"What's going on with you three? Why do you look so worried?"

The three of them glance between each other before Brock speaks up, looking at her sympathetically as he speaks to her cautiously, "Casey, you've been asleep for two days. We brought you to the Pokemon Center and you've been asleep ever since."

"Two days?!" She gasps, her eyes going wide as she tries to process that information. How has she been asleep for two days? She doesn't even remember how she fell asleep! And if she was asleep for two days, then she missed...

"Your contest!" She looks at Dawn apologetically, "I missed your contest, Dawn! I'm so sorry!"

Dawn looks at her as if she's crazy, looking at her with disbelief and amusement at her statement, "Don't worry about that, Casey! I think you should be more concerned about yourself than anything!"

"Why should I be concerned about myself? What happened? How did I get here?"

"We found you around the side of the ruins once we got out." Ash says, "I'm telling you, it sure was freaky in there."

Casey looks at him skeptically, "Why was it freaky? What happened?"

The three of them glance over at each other for the second time, which only scares Casey even more. She really wants to know what's going on here because, quite honestly, she has no clue. She can't remember a thing.

"Casey, what's the last thing that you remember?"

Casey sits back as she slips into a spell of deep thought, thinking back to the last thing she remembers before waking up. She remembers watching Dawn train with Aipom. She remembers meeting up with Kenny and heading to the Solaceon Ruins, and she remembers reading the carvings on the outside of the ruins, but no more than that. That's where her memory ends.

"I last remember arriving at the ruins." She says honestly, "What happened after that?"

"Ferno! Mon-ferno!"

Casey looks away from her friends and over at the door to the room when she hears the familiar cry of Monferno, smiling when she sees him rushing into the room. Electabuzz, Dratini and Shellos follow in after Monferno, the four Pokemon rushing over to their recently awoken trainer in excitement. Monferno reaches her first, jumping up onto the small table at the side of her bed and perching himself there. Shellos and Dratini both catch her off guard when they leap up onto the bed, both of them perching at one of her shoulders respectively with affectionate looks on their faces. They're both clearly glad to see her. Electabuzz takes on a much more reserved approach, finding a spot at the side of the room and choosing to observe his trainer from there. Casey doesn't take offence to his response; she knows that's just how Electabuzz operates.

"They sure are glad to see you." Casey glances back to the door to find Zoey stood there, leaning against the door frame with a warm smile on her face. As much as it's nice to see her friend, her arrival only adds to her confusion.

She glances back at Ash, Brock and Dawn with a worried expression on her face, "Tell me everything."

And that's how she spends her morning, listening to just what unfolded two days prior. They tell about how they found her around the side of the ruins passed out and that they brought her straight to the Pokemon Center. How Dawn lost her Contest and why Zoey's here. At the same time, she explains that she can't remember anything past the ruins and, as much as she wishes she could, can't remember what made her fall asleep in the first place.

However, as much as she's confused and honestly rather scared, she's just glad that she's alright, as are her ever supporting friends and Pokemon that are stood by her side. Knowing that, some of her fear diminishes, at least for now.


Hi, everybody! Sorry that its been a while since my last update. I can put that fact down to three things:

1. I've been super busy these last couple of months thats resulted in me having less time to write.

2. A lack of motivation has really put me off of the idea of writing for a while. I'm hoping that I'll be able to kick that soon.

3. A lack of support for the story. I know it sounds ludicrous, but receiving support from readers really does help to motivate a writer. I know it's ridiculous and I know that I've gone on about it before, but reviews, follows and favourites really do make a difference :)!

Anyways, I am quite happy with this chapter. It's sorta the beginning of a long, expansive sub plot that I have going which will really change up the story later on. It's a while away right now, but I hope that you'll all look forward to it.

I don't know exactly when I'll next be able to update, mostly because I'm super busy at the moment, but I hope that y'all eagerly await the next update. That's all I have to say, everybody! I hope that you like the chapter! Have a nice day everybody!
