(The next day, October 21st,2017)

As a new morning begins, Jarod is seen preparing a quick breakfast for himself and Diantha who is slowly regaining her strength after a brush with death during the previous day's blizzard.

"Argh…damn it burnt myself again." Jarod curses after brushing his wrist against the hot stovetop. "I really need to wake up a bit more before cooking or I may just burn the house down."

"… Jarod are you alright in here", Diantha asks while rubbing her eyes as she peeks her head in to the kitchen.

"Yeah, I'm good, this aint the first time ive been burned." Jarod replies chuckling. "Did I wake you by accident?"

"No you didn't, I was actually just beginning to stir when I heard you yell." Diantha says lightheartedly.

"Ah that's good. I'm almost done cooking a couple of bacon egg and cheese omelets, nothing crazy really. Besides, you need to regain your strength after all that's gone down." Jarod replies.

"Id have to agree with you on that, I can already feel my stomach growling like a pyroar since ive been out of it for the past day." Replies Diantha

DING! "ah that's the timer, the omelets are done, just take a seat at the table Diantha, ill set everything for us", Jarod quips and heads over to the stove to finish prepping everything. Unbeknownst to him, Diantha is watching him with a slight blush appearing on her face.

"(I can't believe everything he is doing for me. he rescued me from freezing to death and even carried me through a howling storm to save me and my team… why is my heart racing all of a sudden ...come on girl get it together)" Diantha mutters to herself as Jarod returns with two plates and cups in his hand.

"Hey, Diantha are ya with us, you were kind of spacing out there a bit." Jarod chuckles.

"Oh, heheh I didn't notice you come back in." Diantha laughs slightly embarrassed.

"Anyways, everything's ready", Jarod replies as he sets an omelet and glass of oran berry juice down in front of her. "Let me just feed the team and ill join you."

After feeding his Pokémon, Jarod sits down across from Diantha and the two start to converse.

"So, what are you planning to do with your day." Diantha asks.

"Well, ive got to take a flight to Lumiose city to visit sycamore. I need to get one of my other pokemon to cut that tree up and open up the path. Thankfully the snowfall has ceased so I can actually fly safely on yveltal." Jarod replies. "You may want to just take it slow for today since you re just getting back up and moving."

"Ah, okay, and you're right, I probably shouldn't push myself too much, I am still worried about gardevoir so ill just continue to watch over her." Diantha says in agreement.

"That's settled, Ryu could you take care of the dishes while I'm gone ill be back in a bit." Says Jarod to the frog pokemon.

"No problem, master it shall be done." Ryu states matter of factly.

"Alright then, Oblivion, are you ready to spread your wings for a bit my friend."

"Of course, I am, it's been a while since ive been able to fly freely without dodging attacks or whatnot." Replies the yveltal as Jarod steps upon his back. With one flap of his huge wings, the duo takes to the sky towards Lumiose city and quickly disappear out of sight.

After about 15 minutes, the massive legend reaches Lumiose city and lands in front of the lab of professor sycamore and jarod hops off. "Thank you yveltal", Jarod says as he returns him to his ultra ball, and walks in to the lab.

"Hey, Sycamore I'm here just as I told you I would be." Jarod shouts as the professor turns around to look at him.

"Ahh Jarod, its been awhile my friend, how's the champion life treating you so far?" Sycamore asks with a slight accent to his voice.

"Pretty well, except ive gotta lay low when out in public to avoid swarms of paparazzi. Other than that, life has been smooth as ice. Anyway, I'm here to pick up Lawrence my gallade to help me remove a fallen pine outside of my home."

"I see, give me just one moment Jarod." Sycamore quips and heads to a computer to access the pokemon storage system, after a few moments and button pushing, an ultraball appears from the machine and Jarod grabs it.

"Alright. Come on out my friend." Out of the ball comes a humanoid bipedal creature with white skin and a narrow yet strong body. Like its counterpart gardevoir, the creature possesses the same spike through its chest and back. However, whereas normally its head and blade arms are a dark green, his are a royal blue, A shiny gallade in all its glory, the pokemon turns and addresses his trainer.

"Master Jarod, it has been quite some time since I last saw you, how have you been?" Lawrence asks in a knightly manner

"Ive been keeping well gallade, its great to see you again", Jarod states happily. "I'm here because I need your help. A tree fell yesterday during the storm and I need someone that can use a cutting move to chop it up and you fit the bill."

"I see, id be happy to help you as always. Let us make haste shall we." Lawrence states proudly

"Indeed, and thanks professor." Jarod calls out as the two leave the building, as they proceed towards the city center, a set of voices can be heard nearby.

"Hey, Lawrence did you hear something?" "Yes, I did it sounded like it was coming from that alley near that coffee shop. Id say we take look, it could be trouble."

"I agree, lets go", Jarod replies as the two take a position on the corner to take a peek down the alley. Standing there are 3 individuals dressed in long white robes that possess pink lines running down the sleeves. They are standing around a holo caster communicating with a figure dressed in a cloak.

"Commander, we have obtained information that you shall be pleased to know. The citizens of Lumiose are going to be hosting a festival honoring the creation trio in a few days. The object of your desire, the lustrous orb will be there aswell." One of the grunts states gruffly.

"Excellent. Return to base you three, we must begin planning our next operation, its time this region felt the might of team Infinity." Replies the cloaked figure.

"Roger that, alakazam utilize teleport." Another grunt states and in a flash the three figures vanish from the area

"Lustrous orb? operation? What could those people be talking about?" Jarod asks gallade worriedly

"I can't quite wrap my head around it either master but it sounds rather... sinister." Lawrence replies

"Indeed, we better keep this on the low and keep an eye out. I don't want to instill a panic around here." Jarod says. "Oblivion, take us home."

"Sure thing master, are you alright, you seem rather anxious about something." Oblivion asks

"I'm fine yveltal, and I thought I told you that you don't have to call me master. You re a legendary being of great power. I'm just your trainer." Jarod replies chuckling as the trio head for home. Little do they know that soon they aswell as the entire Kalos region will be caught in a fight for survival that if lost could result in the destruction of the entire world.
