A young blonde girl age fifteen years, stood in a world of darkness. The girl's name Lucille Luxen, a girl who held no fear to the pitch-black world around her. In the distance of the darkness she heard several things, laughing, talking, yelling, crying, and screaming. Curious to the noise, she chose to walk forward.

As Lucille walked through the nothingness, the world around her took form. She soon found herself standing in Reborn City. The cement was cracked and ragged. Buildings around her had many broken windows, doors if not completely collapsed. It was similar to the current state of the city… but far worse. The sky of which would seem blue at times, was only dreary and grey.

One thing that Lucille noted immediately, that windows of familiar buildings were much higher… no that wasn't it, it was that her height had changed. She was much smaller, or rather younger. Lucille, feeling something driving her forward continued to walk.

The world shifted around her, found herself on a building. The wall before her was destroyed. Out before her was the edge, at least three stories high. Looking into the building, the room before her had broken lights. A white Pokémon heavily injured before her.

"Gr…" Even though she was injured the white Pokémon stood back up. And growled at another Pokémon, it was dark, Lucille couldn't make out anything from it. Then a blue glow came from the darkness and fired at the Pokémon before. The white Pokémon barely managed to dodge it, her injury preventing her from making any big moves.

"Groooo!" Two more blasts came from the darkness this time the white Pokémon slashed one of the blasts down, but was hit by the second

"Arrro!" The Pokémon cried in anguish as it was hit.

"No Stop!" Lucille found herself yelling, blocking the path between the white Pokémon and whatever creature lurked in the darkness. Lucille shook, as she stood. She scared, but knew she couldn't let the Pokémon behind her die.

"Lucille!" She heard a voice call to her; it was extremely worried.

Before Lucille could make a chance to respond. This time three blue glows came from the darkness… Illuminating the figure before her… it was still hard to make out, but it was clear from its three snake like heads the Pokémon had. Each mouth held a dragon pulse, all focused on her. The Hydreigon growled as it fired. "Hydreeeeiiigon!"

Just as the blast was about to reach her, "Lucille!"

"Ah!" Lucille gasped as she jolted upright. Now looking about, she noticed that she was in a bed, more notably a bedroom. This would be one of the guest rooms of Belrose Mansion. A safe place where she had been recuperating from a fever. Though wondering if that was a fever dream or just her trying to recollect her past, Lucille didn't know. Either way it was way to real, she had awoken moments before the Dragon Pulse hit her, but she could still feel the energy from it stinging into her.

"huff… huff…" Lucille breathed heavily as she placed a hand on her chest. Trying to calm her breathing, but as she felt her chest, she noticed something missing… "Huh? N-no… Wh-where is it?!"

Lucille jumped off the bed, searching nearby for a silver necklace. She looked around raggedly, but to no avail. As she realizes it wasn't in the room. She ran down stairs, finding everyone down there eating breakfast.

"Oh, morin' sleepy head." As Lucille got to the living room, she was greeted by a girl with pink hair and same age as her. Her name was Charlotte Belrose, a girl who is a gym leader and friend. "huh? You sure you should be up? You still look pretty pale."

"I lost something… Very important. Have you seen a silver necklace?" Lucille quickly asked. Panicked for what Charlotte might say.

"Sorry… No." Charlotte shrugged. She really wishes she could have said yes. "Between you and anna, doesn't seem like either of you can hold onto jewelry."

"…" Though charlotte meant to make a light joke it fell on deaf ears as Lucille kept a panicked look

"You were kinda falling asleep in Mount Tanzan, you might have dropped it there?" Charlotte said, giving her a slight hint as to where Lucille's necklace could be.

"All right, thanks. I'm sure me and Blaze can take it from there." Lucille bolted to the front door, before Charlotte could say anything.

"Hey, was that Lucille?" Came a girl wearing a green dress and had pink hair like Charlotte, this was Charlotte's older sister Laura

"Yeah…" Charlotte sighed, with what just happened.

"Did she just run out of the house?" Laura continued to ask.

"Yeah…" Charlotte said, before facepalming. "I think Elitist is going to try and kill me."

"Don't say that, Percy seems really reasonable." Laura said, trying to calm her down.

"Yeah… you know how pissed he was when he thought he couldn't help Shelly earlier?" Charlotte said… then remembering that Laura wasn't at the Yureyu building.

"What?" Laura asked curiously.

"Nothing, nevermind." Charlotte quickly dismissed the topic. "I should probably just tell him though…"

"Tell who? What now?" Said the guy in question. Percival Whitehall. As his name would suggest he had white hair, blue eyes. He just came from the kitchen.

"Um… Percival…" Charlotte used his actual name and had a forced smile on her face.

"Did Lucille do something?" Percival asked questioningly.

"Yeah… are ya mad?" Charlotte asked.

"Not at you." Percival huffed. "Why does she have to be so difficult?... Never mind that, what did she do?"

"Well… she said something along the lines of losing something, and kinda bolted out the door to Tanzan Mountain." Charlotte gave brief explanation.

"well… She's not an idiot. And I doubt anyone but us know where we are." Percival reasoned. "I'll scold her for running off by herself later. Right now, me and Noel are going to do a Gym battle to pass the time."

"Now?" Charlotte asked, surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

"Yeah, he said he and Anna wanted to make up for the trouble "Nostra" caused." Percival said. "and as I see it, I have no reason to refuse."

"mm. Make sense… But where you going to do it?" Charlotte asked.

"I Was going to ask Laura if we could use just outside of the house." Percival responded, turning to Laura. "Do we have your permission?"

"Um, just try to not trample the flowers. Okay? I've spent quite a bit of time on them." Laura asked, so her handiwork of creating Flower Circles was not destroyed.

"I'm sure Noel doesn't have that purpose destructive behavior, and neither do I." Percival smirked. "Your flowers should be alright."
"Okay! then I'll be the referee!" Charlotte shouted.

"Right. Noel! They said it was alright!" Percival called to him.

"Okay." Noel responded with a one-word response. Then was quickly with four children at the age of eleven leave the kitchen and head outside.

"Nice! I finally get to see how difficult a Reborn Gym Leader is!" A girl with dark skin and black hair, Marie, Percival's held sister shouted as she ran outside.

Following behind her was a purple hair girl named Shelly. Reborn's Bug type Gym leader, someone who Percival had already faced off against. "Hehe, I get to see another one of Percival's Gym Battles. Hey, hey, Percival, you'll rematch me someday, right?"

"Right, you seem to be very chipper this morning." Percival smiled as he followed after the kids. The twins of Anna and Noel also leaving the house.

The got outside where the battle was to take place. Percival and Noel took stances a few meters apart from each other. "Okay, guess ready."

"Mmkay. So, this is gonna be a six-on-six Single Battle. Either Trainer is allowed to make—" Charlotte the Referee was about to finish her referee speech, but stopped as she notices something fly down from above "Saphira!"

Percival and everyone looked up to see an older woman fly overhead on top of a Dragonite. As the person got closer, it was noted that she had a purplish pink hair like Laura and Charlotte. When the woman got close to ground level. She looked surprised to see Charlotte. "Charlotte. You're here."

Charlotte chuckled as she saw the woman Saphira. "yeah… Surprised to see ya, sis."

The woman Saphira looked over the few others that was here. "And Anna, Noel… You all escaped."

"Yeah," Charlotte called up to her. Pointing at Shelly, Marie and Percival. "These three gave us a hand. We've gotten away from the Doctor twice already."

"Well, we're gonna have to make three times." Saphira's words alarmed everyone. "The Doctor is coming here. Now. And he's not alone. His orderlies and Team Meteor are with him. A group is coming across the lake, too, meaning our only escape is cut off."

"What?!" Percival blurted out completely panicked, "Lucille!"

"She's smart Percival, she's probably hiding form them right now." Marie reasoned with him.

"What should we do?" Laura called to Saphira asking.

"The only thing to do. Fight." Saphira answered, then calling out to everyone else. "Listen up. Charlotte, Anna, Noel, and you, black haired girl, and other girl."

With the tense situation occurring, Shelly stumbled on her words. "Um, um, my name is—"

"Quiet." Saphira cut her off. "Hurry and get inside, and find somewhere to hide."

Most were okay, with this. But Charlotte voiced not wanting to. "Hello? No way. I'm not about to run and hide when I can melt their face off here and now."

"Overruled." Saphira said sternly. "The Doctor still has potential legal authority over you, since you're not an adult yet. We might be able to resolve the escape charge, but we don't want you to have to deal with resisting arrest too. So, leave this to us. Percival, right? And Laura. I'm charging you two with defending the house. Anyone gets in, destroy them. NOTHING is going to touch my family. understand?"

"Yes Ma'am." Percival answered immediately.

"Good. The Doctor is coming around the long way, but Team Meteor is on the water. I'm sure they were clever making sure we couldn't escape that way. But that means they're vulnerable on the water's surface." Saphira turned her Dragonite around. "I'm going ahead; I'll take down as many of them as I can. You all assume your positions. Dragonite, forward!" As Saphira flew off into battle. Charlotte bragged about Saphira.

"So that's our older sister." Charlotte smiled. "Pretty cool, right?"

"Um, we need to hurry inside!" Noel shouted, bringing the seriousness back to the situation.

"Yeah. Follow her lead!" Charlotte yelled. "Come on, everybody in!"

Time: 9:10

Location: Tanzan Mountain

Right before The Meteor attack was declared, Lucille left the mansion in a hurry. Trying to find her lost necklace. Knowing that she would have to cover a lot of ground. She took out her blue Arcanine, Blaze to try and help find it. It was less than five minutes into the search as Blazed picked up a certain scent. She quickly turned and started to growl "Grrrrr!"

"Wow, that Arcanine has a better nose than Hades. But… I guess I shouldn't be surprise, since it was originally a police dog." Lucille shuddered as she heard the voice. It belonged to an enemy of Lucille. Someone who worked for Team Meteor.

"Nero!" Lucille said as she was facing off against him alone. Though she looked further and saw that she wasn't just going to be fighting Nero but several Meteor Grunts. Though the Meteor grunts were keeping their distance. Like it was not to get in Nero's way.

"Lookin' for something." Nero said as he held out a silver necklace, and with a crescent moon pendant on it.

"How'd you—" Lucille could barely speak as she saw him hold her necklace. Despite what she expected Nero threw the necklace towards her. She barely had any time to react as she caught it. "Wha? You're just giving—"

"Don't get me wrong, Lucille, I just want you to know the truth." Nero said calling out to her.

"Truth?" Lucille said confused by Nero's words.

"I really did think that you died that day. Though, Mom really did keep your past secret from you." Nero growled. Angry. "she went even so far to keep any trace of me out your life, she sealed the locket you had."

"Died… locket… Mom?" Lucille held her head as a migraine formed.

"If you think I'm lying, just open it. The truth is in the locket." Nero turned away. Lustrating for her to realize.

"…" Lucille hesitated, but complied to what Nero said, looking inside of the locket. As she opened, her mind flashed to when she opened Nero's Locket. She froze as she saw the two pictures of her and Nero. "ah…"

Thud.

It was silent sound as Lucille passed out, and fell off of Blaze. Nero just sighed, and said. "Guess it's true that when repressed memories come crashing in, they'll just faint. Well… it makes capturing her easier."

"Grrr…" Blaze still out of her pokeball stood over Lucille in front and growled at Nero.

"You know, make this easy on both of us." Nero said to Blaze, "If fight us, there's a good chance that she'll get hurt. I'd rather not have that happen."
"…" Blaze quieted as She saw the odds.

"Good, you understand." Nero said, walking over to where Lucille laid. Grabbing a Pokeball from her belt. "Think you'd be safer in your ball then out here."

"…" Blaze glared at Nero, but as things stood, she couldn't do anything. Nothing but one thing. Blaze jumped back running from the group.

"…" Nero looked at the direction of where the Arcanine was headed. "*Sigh* this will be trouble… but too much for me to deal with."
