Giving credit, where credit is due aside. This is a basic summary of events that occurred in my Fan Fiction/ Actual Game. The summary will span from Chapter 1: Reborn, City of Ruin to the recent Chapter 42: Aftermath part 2. For convenience sake each section will be labeled by the Gym badge (Except for the small prologue before characters get their starter Pokémon).

Final thing, this story/ Fan Game has elements that reference suicide, depression and some other bad things. Read at your own pleasure/displeasure.

Prologue:

The story starts introducing the main heroine of the story, a blonde girl named Lucille Luxen. Lucille quickly meets the main hero (by logic of the game the non-binary character, but for my story he is male) of the story, a boy with white hair named Percival Jeramiah von Decibel Leonardo De Whitehall III [to all story purposes, yes, his name is still canon… I just don't like to write it, thank Arceus for copy and paste]. It is learned that Percival is from a family of elitist Pokémon trainers, and also learned that Reborn is the first league that Percival is challenging with the goal of becoming champion.

The two characters soon meet the Reborn Region's League manager Ame. After a small introduction, and noticing something wrong… Ame pulls Percival and Lucille off of the train just as it explodes in Reborn Station. As Lucille and Percival shake off from the explosion, they notice the destruction that just occurred, leaving them speechless. Ame, Lucille and Percival then meet Reborn's First Gym Leader, Julia Wilde. Ame tells Percival and Lucille to head to the Grand Hall in the Opal Ward saying someone will meet them there. While Ame takes control of the police and tries to catch the guy who caused the explosion.

As Percival and Lucille make their way to the Grand Hall, they meet Victoria Marlow. A girl the same age as them, who was asked to restart their training from scratch. Victoria, Percival, and Lucille all enter the Grand Hall to meet Ame once again. Confused by this, Ame explains they had already captured the criminal and started preparing to integrate him. In other news, it was time for Percival and Lucille to pick their starters. The Pokémon they chose was a Fennekin (Oracle) for Percival, and a Chespin (Theros) for Lucille.

While Lucille was picking her Chespin with Victoria. Percival had met Cain LaRule, a Bisexual male with purple hair, and a real flirtatious attitude. The two have a battle, with amazing luck Percival manages to beat him. After that, Ame, Lucille and Victoria return, Lucille first meets Cain. After another battle between Percival and Victoria. Lucille, Percival, and Victoria are registered into the Reborn Trainer System.

Volt Badge Arc:

Diverging from the path of Lucille and Percival, the view is switched to the stories Antagonist, Nero Umbrasyl. Viewing Nero, it is quickly learned that he has a street name of "The Black Demon", a ruthless Pokémon trainer with a team of Dark-Type Pokémon. But most importantly, Nero had a part in the destruction of the train that housed Lucille and Percival. Nero while avoiding going back to base, meets a young trainer by the name Fern Sevilla. The Reborn Region's back up Grass-Type Leader. The two fight, where Nero easily overwhelms Fern, showing an obvious power difference. After the fight Nero returns to his base to warn for upcoming intruders.

Switching back to Percival and Lucille, we watch as Lucille obtains her third Pokémon a Panpour (Simon). She had previously managed to catch a Munna (Luna) with more direct help of Percival. As the two go to visit Julia's Gym, they meet her and Julia explains how they managed to locate the base of the guys who destroyed the train, also learning how they were planning on destroying Julia's Gym as well. Julia asks the two to come, both Percival and Lucille agree. At the old factory, Percival and Lucille meet the brother sister combo of the previously (Only from Nero) met Fern, and his older sister Florina. Upon meeting them it is noted of Ferns obnoxious Attitude, and Florina for some reason acts as if she has no emotion.

After exploring the factory and taking down the grunts, the name of the evil organization is revealed to be Team Meteor. Where it is revealed Nero, Sirius, and a pair of elite grunts Aster and Eclipse are all part of the team. Breaking out into battles, Nero decides his opponent to be Percival, giving him a pet name of "Shiro" for both: Percival's last name being Whitehall, and Percival having white hair, contrary to Nero who's name literally means black, and his hair is black as well. In the battle for the most part seems to be going in Percival's direction for a win, but the tables switch immediately upon Nero sending out a Black Absol. This Absol is Nero's Ace, Grim, also known as Nero's Grim Reaper. Once Grim is on the field, Percival finds no way to counter this beast of an Absol, getting beaten far too easily. Though Nero was the only one to be seemingly have a victory against the opponents. He, Sirius, Aster, Eclipse, along with all other Team meteor Members are forced to flee.

After exiting the Meteor base. Florina express an apology to Percival as she recognized Nero. Nero's past holds more secrets as it is learned that Nero was assigned to be Reborn's Dark-Type Backup Gym Leader, and that Nero has been missing for around three years. Percival and Lucille are surprised by this information… neither wanting to believe this to be true.

Cutting back to Nero once more, we see him on a rooftop discussing things with Grim. Nero comments that when he locked eyes with Lucille, he sensed something about her. Lucille was like him, an Absol user, but more than that. Lucille like Nero was Marked by an Absol. Being marked by an Absol is a rare occurrence by itself, but what it brought the person marked could glimpse into the future. Detecting disasters, basically knowing everything that an Absol knows. Thinking she would be more dangerous that Percival, Nero marked Lucille as a target.

The final thing of this arc, was Percival fighting against Julia for the Volt Badge. Percival had no real qualms against Julia. So, it was quite just a plain battle for it to be seen. Though after the battle it is seen Lucille catches her fourth Pokémon a Blitzle (Helios). Victoria makes another appearance making a warning of strange things happening in the Obsidia ward.

Canopy Badge Arc:

The next arc starts with Lucille and Percival reaching the edge of Obsidia Ward. Where the two meets again with Florina Reborn's Grass-Gym Leader. After discussing with Florina, Florina decides that Percival and Lucille may be of use, taking the two into the Obsidia Ward. While the two were getting informed of the sentient plant crisis, a building cracks and falls apart. Separating Lucille from Percival and Florina. Florina yells from the rubble to Lucille that there is another passage through to Where they are, this passage being Obsidia Slums.

While Lucille was planning to go through the Slums, she once again meets with Victoria. Victoria worried for the safety of Lucille, asks her to prove herself in a battle. Lucille battles against Victoria, forming bonds with her newly caught Pokémon, letting Lucille prove that she is more than capable of handling the slums. Though reluctant, Victoria knows she can't stop Lucille, allows Lucille to pass. While Lucille had been in the Slums, she encountered a gang of Scraggy led by a Scrafty. Once defeating the gang, a metallic door opens. Lucille realized that she wasn't alone, looking around she doesn't see anyone, but manages to lock on the exact position of Nero, the owner of the Scraggy and Scrafty. It had appeared to be an ambush set by Nero to test Lucille's power, and whether if her Absol would show or not… though this time round, Nero got a good look at Lucille. As Lucille left the room, Nero stood getting more annoyed by Lucille by the second.

After passing through the slums, Lucille tried to get back to Percival and Florina but was blocked by a Police blockade. Unable to continue further, Lucille ventured south into the Coral Ward. In the Coral Ward, Lucille would soon meet Amaria, the third ranked Gym Leader her type water, and witness Cain save a small Popplio. To prove Popplio had power, Cain requested a battle against Lucille. Lucille accepted the fight, growing stronger not just physically but with her Pokémon's bonds with each battle she had. Lucille managed to become victorious through this fight. After the battle, Lucille learns from Amaria that she was supposed to go help Florina. Realizing they have the same goal, the two walks off to the Obsidia ward together.

Continuing through back to Percival and Florina, Percival had been worried for the disappearance of his friend, Lucille, who had been missing for some time. Eventually Lucille arrived with Amaria, and preparation to deal with the rapid flora growth was upon them. as they entered the jungle that was once a park Amaria, Lucille, and Florina all get captured by vines. Only leaving Percival as the one to save them. Percival in task to save the three meets a man who seemingly has three personalities (Zero, Eve, and Lumi) known as ZEL. ZEL Explains that the cause of the Vegetation Growth is due to this oversized, and oddly looking Tangrowth. Known as a PULSE Tangrowth, what a PULSE is discussed later. Percival then fought against the Tangrowth, which proved to be much stronger than any normal Tangrowth. Percival barely managing to win against it defeated it, but as it was defeated it turned grey crumbling into dust, along with all other vines and overgrown plants. After Lucille Amaria, and Florina were freed. Amaria had left to report to Ame, while Florina invited Percival for his second Gym Battle.

Percival and Lucille then went to Onyx Trainer School, so that Percival could fight Florina. When they entered, Fern easily separated the two. Fern proceeded to try and discourage Percival from fighting his sister, causing the two ends up fighting each other. Percival easily beating Fern with just one Pokémon, Percival's Leafeon, Vee. While the battle took place, Percival managed to turn all of Fern's discourage against him, telling Fern that they are similar. Fern angry against that, walks away claiming to join the Gym Challenge. Percival challenges Florina, managing to beat her. Before he and Lucille leave, they are told that events from the Obsidia Ward is occurring in Jasper and Beryl. Knowing what to do, the duo set off.

Cocoon Badge Arc:

The two Lucille and Percival start by entering the Jasper Ward. The two immediately are asked to help search for missing police officers in the spare time that they are there. Percival and Lucille both agree to help. After that, the two went and searched through Malchous Forest trying to find the PULSE, and any Team Meteor members. While there the two meet a man named Taka, who is revealed to be a higher up in Team Meteor, and explains the PULSE to Percival and Lucille. When Percival and Lucille fight against Taka, Percival notes that Taka doesn't seem to be taking this seriously, causing him to become angry. Taka once defeated flees. Lucille also tells Percival that she thinks she was ambushed by Nero in Obsidia slums. Before the two can leave the forest the two, meet with a young girl with pink hair riding a Salamance.

Percival and Lucille continue through the night trying to find the other PULSE Tangrowth that is causing havoc. On their search the two falls into a pit trap created by Nuzleaf, and are separated. Lucille wakes up in a wooden cell, with Nero. Begrudgingly the two are stuck in the cell together without their Pokémon. They wait for rescue from either side, eventually Lucille gets Nero to talk about his past. Lucille is quickly horrified at the harsh life Nero had: How his parents called him a demon, always attacked by Dark-Types, how his twin sister died before his very eyes… Eventually the two are saved by a Chatot, more specifically the Chatot of Taka. Nero leaves without much more, disappearing into the night.

The story continues as Percival and Lucille finds the missing officers; Lucille is rewarded with a Growlithe (Blaze). Continuing through their mission to find the PULSE, Lucille talks to Percival about what she learned about Nero. Percival, who may or may not have been holding a grudge against Nero, does not believe in his story. The two then find the PULSE Tangrowth being guarded by ZEL, Taka, and a mysterious man. With the help of Heather, the PULSE Tangrowth is defeated, but the Meteor members manage to escape. despite the police being reorganized they were unable to help with the capture, as Nero had gone and made a separate disturbance causing them to try and stop him. It is revealed that the Poison Leader Corey is a part of Team Meteor, and from a vison from Nero, that his time is short.

The next day, Percival enters the Beryl Ward Gym challenging Corey to a battle. During his conversation with Corey, Percival notes distinct similarities between Corey and his own father. Percival striving for victory barely wins with the determination of his team. After the battle, Heather enters the gym arena declaring that she's leaving and there's nothing that Corey can do to stop her. Percival is impressed with Heather's courage to declare that. after Heather leaves, Corey tells Percival to meet him on Beryl Bridge. Despite not getting a Gym Badge, Percival was feeling more worried about Corey's mental state.

It goes back earlier in the day, following Lucille. Lucille had just finished helping a library find it's missing books from the attack. Rewarded, with a Gothita to join her on her journey (Athena). After leaving the library, Lucille noticed Nero walking about. following after Nero, Lucille was led to Beryl Cemetery, where Nero was looking at two tombstones. One which was presumably his father, the other his sister's. after Nero flew off, Lucille looked at the names of the gravestones, to note that Nero's sister had the same name as herself. While looking at the Grave, a sense of uneasy entered Lucille's heart, only to be quickly broken out of the stature, as an Absol appeared behind her. Looking into the eyes of the Absol, Lucille received a vision of a man jumping off Beryl Bridge, now worried, Lucille ran to that direction. Soon to meet Percival as well.

On Beryl Bride, Corey was found releasing his Pokémon. Nero arriving to see this, Nero decides to see Corey off before he dies. As to Nero once he sees a vision, there is nothing that can be done to change it. Before the event occurs, Nero and Corey converse as to why they joined Team Meteor. Nero hides in the illusion of his Zoroark (Hela), as Percival and Lucille arrive to the bridge. Corey proceeds to tell Percival and Lucille his life story, as he jumps from the bridge. Fern appears calling Corey weak, quickly getting himself a well-deserved punch in the gut by Lucille. before the conversation could continue, an explosion occurs at Reborn's Grand Stairway.

Ignoring the stairway explosion, Percival and Lucille head into the Lapis Ward. The Lapis Ward was right under Beryl Bridge, they went them to check for the possibility that Corey survived the fall. As they get there, they find a group of people surrounding an area, quickly finding that Corey did not survive… as they are there, Percival and Lucille find Victoria consoling a young girl by the name Shelly Citra. The two from Meteor Aster and Eclipse, soon also arriving on the scene confirming the death of Agent Beryl (aka. Corey), letting it slip that Corey was a part of Team Meteor. As well as, the two revealing that the Stairway explosion being caused by them. after the two flee, Shade appears and cleans up the remains of Corey. Victoria with the help of Lucille and Percival, take Shelly the lapis Gym Leader back inside her gym. After a bit of conversation, Victoria and Lucille decide to head off to the stair way, while Percival stays back to keep an eye on Shelly.

As Lucille and Victoria enter the hole of the hollow staircase, they find an odd cave system. Lined with gems that lit up the way. Victoria as they entered was quickly captured by Aster and Eclipse, before Lucille could even attempt to do anything. Chasing after the two, Lucille got to the bottom chamber, where she found an odd room, with an odd energy… Lucille found herself meeting with two people soon, the first was Nero who was oddly restrained for whatever reason, the other was an older man later to be learned as Solaris. Solaris proceeds to tell Lucille a tale of Reborn, and about the odd-looking door before them. after that, Solaris says the Lucille and her friend are free to go. Before they leave, Lucille learns that Nero was also on the bridge, and gets her first hearing of being marked by an Absol. As Victoria and Lucille leave, Lucille seems to faint from the mystic energy of the cave.

After Victoria returned to the Lapis Gym, with an unconscious Lucille, she continues to explain what she saw down there to Percival. Mentioning everything: the gate, the keys, and the mark that Lucille supposedly had. After that was discussed, Percival suggested to have Shelly looked at by a professional, to really see how Shelly was doing. Though it was to be in the morning.

The next morning, joined by Lucille. Percival went to visit the Lapis Orphanage to inquire about Dr. Sigmund Connal. As they enter the two meet a strange woman, who seemed to be afraid of the place. Nonetheless the Percival and Lucille enter the building, quickly meeting two twins of Anna and Noel, also Charlotte Belrose. The two find Anna odd as she calls them both "Glowy", and reference Charlotte to have burn scars despite not having any. Percival and Lucille quickly learned that Charlotte and Noel were Gym Leaders, and that the doctor would only make their friend worse. Though they still meet him, they quickly manage to leave without him suspecting anything. But before they left, Anna had seemed to give them some advice for Shelly.

Once returning and giving the advice, Shelly seems to cheer up, ends up requesting to finish the gym battle with Victoria. Victoria hesitant about it declines, but suggests that Percival may want to fight. Percival accepts, and Shelly runs to her gym arena Lucille tagging along with her. Before Percival could get there, he is stopped by Victoria, both with their own definitions about how a battle could affect Shelly. In the end Percival fights against Victoria easily beating her, and goes to fight Shelly. A small strain forming on their friendship… Percival and Shelly fight, having a fun Pokémon battle together. With Percival and Lucille trying to raise Shelly's self-esteem.

Omen Badge Arc:

The story continues back at the Grand Hall. Percival and Lucille go there to help inform about the death of Corey, and to find out who the reserve gym leader is. While there, the two encounter Fern once more. Fern smugly boasts how he has a key to the wasteland, the place where the reserve Poison leader lives, and doesn't want to tell Percival or Lucille where he got it. A fight ensues between Percival and Fern once again, and once again Percival sweeps through Fern's team with just a Leafeon (Vee)[Leafeon OP!]. Reluctantly Fern explains how he got the key, describing a character both Percival and Lucille knew. Cain.

At Beryl Cemetery, while looking for Cain, Lucille explains to Percival how she met an Absol here. Percival is uneasy about that information, especially since what he discussed with Victoria. The two get their conversation interrupted as Cain calls out to them. Cain shows the two, a pair of grave stones that he thought was interesting, the two grave stones being of Nero's father and sister. Cain explains he's at the Cemetery to look for a girl name Heather, thinking she probably wasn't in the best mind set after learning the death of her father. As asked why they were there, Percival asks for the key to the Wasteland. Causing Cain to reveal that his family lives there and that he doesn't have the best relationship with them… Percival can understand that thinking of his own past…

In the end for Percival to acquire the Key, it was for him and Cain to battle. While they battle Cain notes that half of Percival's team are psychic types, asking if he was a psychic-type expert. Percival dodges the question… after the battle is over it is revealed that Heather was watching the battle from afar. Once notices Cain asks if she wants to be friends, annoyed she runs off to Lapis, trying to get away from Cain. Cain apologizes to Percival and Lucille saying he'll give them the key later, and chases after Heather. Percival looks at Cain, getting a bad feeling of the situation decides to follow after them, Lucille obviously tags along.

In Lapis Ward Gym, Percival and Lucille find Cain, Heather, and Shelly. Heather is screaming at Cain that she wants to be left alone. Percival managed so somewhat defuse the situation a bit, but shown to only delay the inevitable explosion. Angry at everyone Heather runs out of the Lapis Ward Gym, right into Dr. Sigmund Connal. After chasing after her, seeing her situation, Percival extremely worried for the well-being concerned for Heather, tries to get her away from him. But due to some complex law in Reborn City, the doctor has every right to take away Heather, and Percival who had just been discovered to be disowned by his own parents. After they are taken away Cain, Lucille, and Shelly are left in shock.

After reconvening and calming Shelly down, the three decide to break Percival and Shelly out of Lapis Ward Orphanage. They get in thanks to Anna, where Cain and Shelly meet Anna, Noel, and Charlotte. asking them for help and in exchange to set them free. The deal is made, the group quickly making chaos and breaking Percival and Heather out of Sigmund's grasp. But now, somewhat wanted by police the group flees.

While the group flees into the underground Rail net of Reborn, aiming to find some way out of the city. Percival tells a tale of his life: how strength meant everything in his family, Percival being the weakest out of his family, how he got some of his Pokémon, how… how he and Vee wanted for Vee to become an Espeon, but was forced into a Leafeon. Soon they reached a metal door that wouldn't move. Shelly remembered about the old Power Plant. It was suggested for Percival to go there a turn on the power, and fight Shade for the Omen badge.

As Percival entered the abandoned Power Plant, he was given the vision of Corey's Death before him once again. Percival soon met a small shadow, a ghostly person named Bianco. Bianco explained that he was to act as a guide for Percival, showing him the visions that shade wanted to see. Two of the visions being of people Percival have yet to meet, the other being Amaria. All of those visions being of the person's death. After seeing the visions, Percival finds himself in a strange room with a large monitor flickering, on the screen was Percival, Lucille, and Nero right before it faded to black. Percival clearly on edge as of this day, then met Shade. He and Shade fought, Percival wining in the end.

After beating Shade, Shade turned back on the power. The monitor then showed Shelly, Charlotte, Heather, Anna, and Noel being captured by Team Meteor. Cain and Lucille barely escaping due to Cain collapsing the tunnel.

Blight Badge Arc:

Percival arrives in the Collapsed tunnel only to find a panicked Victoria. After getting a rough idea of where Cain and Lucille are headed to, Percival rushes to Coral Ward. As he arrives the two are leaving for Apophyll saying that they'll make it right. Unable to chase after them, Percival is unsure what to do, where he quickly re-meets Amaria. Amaria asks for Percival's help and in return a way for him to get to Apophyll, Percival agrees.

Percival and Amaria continue to another factor in Peridot. Amaria explains how it is thought that there is a Meteor base here, polluting the waters of Reborn. The two quickly break into the building, but also quickly getting separated. It isn't long before Percival finds ZEL, and Meteor's Leader Solaris, along with a PULSE Muk. It is found that the Muk is being used to pollute the waters, and while Percival is distracted. Solaris tries to kill him with his Garchomp, but is stopped by Amaria. Solaris tone seems to change as he notices the Sapphire bracelet that Amaria holds. Amaria fights off Solaris, while Percival was then tasked with taking out the PULSE and also ZEL. It is a hard battle, but Percival manages to beat them. Causing Team Meteor to retreat as they are defeated. Amaria as thanks gives Percival the keys to her boat so he can get to Apophyll.

Percival not sleeping whatsoever arrives in Apophyll as the sun rises. Percival quickly goes on search for the head instructor of Apophyll academy, Kiki. Ending up attending her lessons, but Percival still notes that Kiki was one person who is supposed to die from Shade's visions. While listening to Kiki's Lecture, Percival thinks about Nero, and how his situation is… but does his best to shut those thoughts out. After the lecture, Percival explains his reason for coming here, and is told that he and Victoria will need to do some things if they wish to acquire the TM Strength.

For Percival's task he had to climb Mount Pyrous, and challenge a student named Cal. Once there, Percival felt a huge similarity between Cal and himself. Learning Cal had been a cause for Shelly's current behavior, as a result of Cal stupidly snapping at her. With a calm background between them, Cal and Percival fought. Percival winning the battle, or rather Cal just surrendering. After Percival left, Nero appeared before Cal. Talking to Cal about the similarities between the two. Though Nero thought if Percival was given a chance to join Meteor before all of this, Percival would still say no.

Percival after completing Kiki's task returned to Apophyll slowly feeling the overwhelming exhaustion encroaching him. Percival returned to see a collapsed Kiki, who listened to Percival, saying his final task was to challenge her in battle. After Kiki left the room, Victoria explained the situation saying that Kiki is dying from sickness and that she doesn't want Percival to fight her. Percival snaps at Victoria straining their friend ships more… and prepares to fight Kiki. The battle seems even for the most part, but Percival faints from exhaustion middle of the battle. Kiki after being declared the winner collapses from sickness herself. Percival later wakes up and goes to find Victoria to apologize, where she and Kiki have an argument and run off. Percival and Victoria talk, and as they wonder where Cain and Lucille are the two appear.

Cain and Lucille's adventure: What happened on their way to Apophyll Lucille and Cain were ambushed by Team Meteor. Trying to capture them after previously failing to do so, though an Absol had gotten in the way of that. Cain was still captured, but Lucille had slipped away but was knocked out. Lucille had next awakened on an island with Cain missing, tracking him to a meteor base. Lucille fought against Aster, Eclipse, and Taka to free him. There the two learned of a plan to destroy Apophyll.

After retelling the events to Percival, Kiki, and Victoria it was made known that they should go stop Meteor. Kiki collapsed once again due to her sickness and by pleading from Percival and Victoria noted that Kiki would stay behind. At the base of the mountain, the group of Percival, Lucille, Victoria, and Cain met with Nero. Seeing as it was their best option, they left Lucille to deal with Nero while the rest went to stop the PULSE Camerupt. During the battle against Nero, Nero had hurt two of Lucille's Pokémon (Luna and Simon) to the point where they were unable to battle ever again. Before Nero could kill Lucille, Lucille's Absol appeared blocking an attack from Grim. Nero and Grim looked on in shock as they recognized the Absol, it was later learned from Nero, that this Absol belonged to his twin sister. But before anything could continue, the Absol gave Lucille a vision of Kiki's death at the hands of Solaris. Just seconds before the echo of Victoria's scream reached Lucille. after that Nero got a message to retreat, and left without another word.

Meanwhile at the top of the Mountain, Percival and Victoria held worry for Cal and Lucille. Percival noted how an Absol passed by on the mountain having an ominous feeling. As the two reached the top, Cain had been defeated by Taka, Cal seemingly defeated as well, Solaris standing tall over the two. It is then learned that Solaris is Taka's father, Percival and Solaris soon battle. The battle is one-sided as Solaris' strength eclipses Percival, demolishing ever single Pokémon of Percival's with just one Garchomp. In the end Percival loses, with again Solaris aiming to take Percival's life, but is stopped by Kiki using her Medicham to stop him. It is then realized that Cal was working with Team Meteor. Kiki is then killed by Solaris' Garchomp. Cal conflicted by everything betrays Team Meteor, destroying the PULSE. Though what's done is done, Kiki is dead. Victoria feels betrayed. Percival, though he knew what was going to happen was powerless to stop it.

It is the next day, Percival, Cain, Victoria, and Lucille are still licking the wounds they received from Meteor. They won in the end, Apophyll still stands, but they now have scars that will never leave. Victoria drops out of the Gym Challenge, declaring she will do her best to protect Apophyll. Victoria gives Cain and Percival the TM strength, so that they can get to the kidnapped kids, but Percival still needs to get the Blight Badge to make use of the TM. Percival, Lucille, and Cain all leave Apophyll. Lucille still affected by her battle with Nero seems majorly depressed, causing Cain to sing her a song to cheer her up. It works, and discussed that Lucille probably has Amnesia for some reason…

The next place of interest is Byxbysion Wasteland Hideout. Percival and Lucille arrive to challenge Aya LaRule, Cain's older sister, to a battle. Once entered Cain's mom confuses Percival for a girl. After that, Percival and Lucille find that Fern is already there getting Aya's Badge. The two soon meet Hardy Andersen Reborn's Rock Type Gym Leader. After some small arguing, Percival ends up battling Fern. While they battle, Hardy reveals how Percival's disownment was in the news. While Percival was distracted, Fern took out Vee with a Hidden Power Fire from his Roserade, causing Percival to snap calling Fern, Kuro. Percival's older brother. Soon after, Percival started the fight against Aya. Easily beating her with Percival's team consisting of majorly psychic type Pokémon. After the battle Aya told Percival and Lucille more about her and Cain's Family relationship… Aya believing Cain abandoned her. Percival got the Blight Badge.

Rime Badge Arc:

Starting off this Arc, revisiting the Grand Hall. A young girl is getting her trainer registration from Ame. The name of this girl is soon learned to be Marie Whitehall, Percival's youngest sister. After getting a rough location of Percival, Marie headed to Southern Obsidia. Where she met Cain. Though neither really making great first impressions with each other. Soon Percival returned, to his surprise Marie being there. After a small discussion of events, Marie now knows what's going on, decides to help out. In other news Marie trades Percival, an Aerodactyl for a Pokémon that was originally hers, also trades Lucille a Gyarados for Helios.

Percival, Lucille, Marie, and Cain arrived at the old Yureyu building. They are first greeted by Nero, who still has bones to pick with Lucille, but is forced to fight against Marie instead. In the building the group continues up, saving the children. Reaching towards the top, it is found that Anna and Heather are being held by Sigmund and Sirius. Cain and Percival quickly fight against Sigmund taking him out, freeing Heather, then move to save Anna. It is learned that while the kids were captured, they had taken two objects from them, Heather's Ruby Ring, and Anna's Amethyst Pendant. Though they were inside all this time, the battle of Nero vs Marie still rages on outside. Nero and Marie are near the end, as Nero brings out a Hydreigon (Orcus). Just as it was about to finish of Marie's Electivire (Tesla), everyone exits the building, as Lucille lays eyes on the Hydreigon, she screams. Seeing that he is now outnumbered and by himself, Nero flees. It is found out directly that Nero used to be part of the Orphanage, and now known to Charlotte that he joined Team Meteor.

It is decided that for the best to head for Charlotte's house in the Chrysolia Region of Reborn. To get there the group must continue through the underground. It is noted that Lucille and Anna are starting to look sickly. While walking along the tracks, Charlotte asks Percival some questions, revealing a small bit of information surrounding him: Seeing that Percival is the illegitimate son of the Whitehall family, and based off the fact that his Gardevoir's color match a Shiny Gardevoir from Reborn that his mother is from here.

Once the group was freed from the Underground Rail net Heather had flown off on her Salamance, having Cain chase after her again. Charlotte continued to lead the rest of the group to her house, where they met Charlotte's older sister Laura. After putting Lucille and Anna to rest, it is discussed if there was any medicine for the two. There was none, but since it was late, best to get some the next day.

The next day, Marie and Percival head to Spinel Town. Both complain about how strange the forest was… how they couldn't really navigate it. The enter the town, as they reach the Pokémart it immediately teleports to another place in the town, on top of someone's Manor. As the two go to try to get medicine from it they meet Serra Voclain and her son Bennett Voclain. After a bit of discussion on what to do goes by, and information on a missing girl by the name Luna. A man comes knocking on the Voclain residence, the man claims to be Luna's Biological father, his name is El. Percival when meeting El had an instinct saying not to trust him. Serra had proposed a gym battle against Percival, Percival agreed. Marie had teleported back to the Belrose manor before then though. As Percival moved through the Gym, He was stopped as Bennett had requested a battle from him. Which Percival happily obliged, and won. After the battle a small amount of encouragement from El sent Bennett in a well mood as he heard of a chance to be Elite four material. El then said his wishes to Percival, calling him Percival Whitehall, where Percival never introduced himself to El.

Standard Badge Arc:

The most recent Arc, starts as soon as Percival beats Serra and gets the Rime Badge. After the battle, we see El talking to Bennett. Where Bennett gives El a definite location on Luna, and knowledge that Luna has an Emerald Broach on her still. The Pokémart is also teleported away to near Tanzan Mountain, which Marie found. As Percival leaves Serra's house, he finds himself at the Pokémart miraculously. Either way, Marie and Percival buy the medicine and bring it back for Anna and Lucille.

After the two received the medicine, it goes to the hidden Meteor Base in Tanzan Mountain. Where Sirius, Nero, Sigmund, and ZEL discuss the upcoming plans on capturing the orphanage children. Where Sigmund reveals to Nero that his Sister never died [yet there is still a grave stone for her… much of an oversight for the author huh?]. Nero does not believe it, until a locket similar to his gets teleported above his head. Opening it he sees that it has the same picture as his own…

Next, we have Lucille sleeping, having a nightmare… nightmare of being killed by a Hydreigon.
