Chapter 2; First day with the International Police
Words: 2856
Here is the second chapter! Sorry for the delay! So, in this chapter, we will have some of the mysteries uncovered and theories formed. Who do you think Noël's parents and/or family is? Go on! Have a guess! If you guess right I'll PM you!
So, there will be two more chapters after this then a chapter which will be covering the time skip and I will have a hint about Noël's family in that chapter, too! Then the plot will start to make its move.
Noël was awakened the next morning by Rosa screeching in her ear! Noël quickly covered her ears and glared at Rosa. Rosa just smiled gayly back; like it always did. After five minutes of glaring with no result, Noël just gave up and sighed: Rosa was such a carefree Pokémon! However, as it showed with waking Noël up, it could be very bossy when it wanted something.
Noël then quickly got up and changed into her spare change of clothes which were in her bag, before Rosa complained more about her not being up. Then, Noël placed all her stuff into the spare backpack or her new backpack; depending on how you saw it. This room didn't feel very friendly to Noël, so she didn't want to leave her stuff in it. She hoped that after spending some time here it would because taking her stuff everywhere would be a drag.
Noël glanced over at the mirror and saw her hair was a mess. Fortunately, there was a brush just lying near the mirror. After brushing it, Noël brought two locks of hair to the front over her shoulders; then at the very end of the rest of her hair, she put a hair tie. Then, when the ribbon went in at the top: she looked in the mirror and thought her hair had turned out rather well. Noël didn't know much about hairdressing, but she was pretty sure her hair was pretty well done; for an eight-year-old, anyway.
After wrestling Rosa into her backpack, (it didn't like the bag and that was understandable,) Noël went downstairs to find someone: anyone would do. Noël did get a bit lost, as she didn't know where they would all be and a lot of the rooms looked the same to her little brain. Eventually, Noël walked into the kitchen. For some reason, the girl named Epona was in here. It seemed like an odd place for her to be, but then Noël wondered if Epona was there to get breakfast straight away, or for something else to do with breakfast.
"Hi, Noël! Wow, you look smart in that!" Epona said, after turning around and spotting Noël.
Noël quickly wrote a hello and thank you down on some paper and showed it to Epona. "Your welcome," Epona said smiling broadly. Then she asked, "Are you going to go to the meal's room? Or do you need me to take you?"
"Can you please take me?" Noël wrote down.
"Sure, I should go anyway; John is getting cranky with me. This way," Epona said leading Noël out of the Kitchen.
Epona led Noël out and down a few corridors before they finally entered a room full of tables. Noël wasn't sure if she would ever get used to this place. She thought as they entered the room full of tables, that all the rooms and corridors looked the same. Everyone else was in this room full of tables; so, Noël thought it must be the meal's room.
Apart from the overpopulation of tables, there were plenty of chairs as well as plates, cutlery and a huge food warmer with food in it. This room back onto the kitchen; and there were four huge windows which made it very light, and Noël liked it: the rest of the base was a bit dark and dusty! There were a few people getting food out of the food warmer.
"Just choose what you want from the warmer and then sit down and eat it. Don't forget about a knife and fork though: Muller quite often tells people off for not at least having them, at least nearby," Epona said, thinking how much of a spoilsport Muller was.
Noël nodded and wrote a thank you for Epona. Then Epona went straight over to get something to eat. Noël did too, after waiting a few moments for Epona to get her meal. When Noël had a plate full of breakfast, some Spearmint tea and something for Rosa, she made her way over to an empty table. Noël didn't know much about what Pokémon ate, but it said it was Pokémon food, and Rosa tried and liked some; so, Noël thought it was a pretty safe bet.
On the way to an empty table, Anabel called to her, "Hey, Noël; come join us!"
Noël looked around and saw Looker and Anabel sitting at a table, and Anabel was gently waving at her. Noël slowly went over after thinking about it for a few seconds. After sitting down, Noël wrote a note saying thank you for Anabel and Looker. Then, Noël got Rosa out of her bag and gave it the food she had gotten for it.
"No problem at all, Noël; There is such a small number of us here we can all share a table with someone," Anabel said smiling.
"Yes; defiantly," Looker agreed.
"Now, we are going to be going out to try and get you back to your home. However, Looker will stay here with you and go about his daily life," Anabel said, explaining what would be happening that day.
"Isn't Saniel going to tell her that after breakfast?" Looker asked getting confused.
"No: he asked me to tell her myself," Anabel said. Then she asked, "Do you know what you're doing today, Looker?"
"Manning the building, have Doctor Stat see Noël and maybe visiting Elderberry. Depends on what time Saniel gets back," Looker said, sipping some coffee.
"Pretty boring then," Anabel nodded.
"Yes; but a pretty typical day for here," Looker said. Alola was such a peaceful place that there wasn't a lot for them to do because no one was causing a lot of trouble. There were still the street thugs that stole from the Sunday market, but they were nothing the ordinary police couldn't handle.
"I almost wish I was staying: posting posters in the worst job ever!" Anabel complained.
"And yet, you're always at odds with Muller; when he complains about having to put posters up, too. You two are really very similar. Is there some kind of conspiracy going on?" Looker asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No. Even though we do have similar views, we don't see eye to eye. And anyway, Muller really annoys me," Anabel said quickly.
Noël just listened and ate her breakfast. When Rosa was finished, it smiled at Noël. Noël suspected Rosa wanted something or was plotting something, but Noël just smiled back: she was probably just being paranoid!
"Someone should take you to see the Ruins here. Maybe whoever is staying tomorrow can; I will tell Saniel next time I get the chance to talk to him," Anabel said, deciding.
"Sounds like a grand idea, Anabel," Looker said, nodding. Noël nodded excitedly to show she thought it sounded good, too.
When they finished eating, Looker and Noël went downstairs to the front desk. This was to meet anyone that came in and to make sure no thieves came in and stole something. While they went downstairs, everyone else went off to get a huge stack of posters, each. Noël was impressed they could carry them all. Though, as they walked passed Noël and Looker, she couldn't help but notice they were looking a little awkward.
Five minutes after everyone left, Looker said leaning back in his chair, "Well, Noël, prepare to be bored. We have a long day ahead."
Noël nodded, and let Rosa hop out of her bag. "I should see if we can get you a Poké Ball for… Rosa, wasn't it? it would be safer," Looker said; thinking about how easy it would be for Rosa to just slip out
"Probably," Noël wrote, on the piece of paper she had been using for all her short messages that day. It already had quite a lot on it, so she had to circle what she had just written for Looker to see it.
Two hours later, Noël was understanding what exactly Looker meant by being bored, and it being a long day: this was ridiculous! They were only two hours into the waiting, and they were both bored out of their brains. Noël was starting to feel sympathetic to anyone who had to go through this, at all; for a day or forever.
About then, Looker decided to see if any reports needed doing. Much to his dismay, there weren't any. "Epona's too good! She hasn't left any work that needs to be fixed up or done! Maybe we need to fire her?" Looker groaned. He was joking about the last part, and Noël could hear that.
Noël smiled sympathetically: she understood how bored Looker must be feeling! She hoped for her own sanity that someone came to get her pretty quick. At times like this, Noël really wished she could remember something that gave more of a hint of her past. Like a name: that would be useful. But sadly, all Noël could just remember someone screaming her own name, or a nickname: but that was all she could remember that might remotely be useful. But really; someone crying 'Noel' and feeling like she was falling and screaming, was not very useful. Especially when she could not remember what the place actually looked like.
Then Noël had an idea! She wrote, "Looker, are there any old books here?" Then Noël tapped Looker on the shoulder to get him to look up and take her note.
"Yes, there are," Looker said after reading the note. "Wait here, and I'll go and get them. Umm, where's Rosa? I haven't seen it for a little while."
Noël quickly looked around. After a minute of not spotting Rosa, she started getting stressed! Noël jumped up and in a panicked way, she started to look around frantically. Then there was a small cry from one of the boxes. Noël went over and gave a sigh of relief! Rosa was in there!
"Rosa's in there?" Looker asked, and Noël nodded and gave him a thumb up as she got Rosa out.
"I really need to ask Saniel about getting a ball for that Pokémon. It seems to be rare and we don't want it running off if that's the case; do we?" Looker said, and Noël nodded to agree.
"I believe there isn't a rule about what age you can have a Pokémon, but there is an age in which you can start travelling. If I recall right, we should be fine with getting you a Poké Ball so Rosa can't run off," Looker said, looking like he was thinking.
Noël nodded, then Looker left to presumably, get those old books. Noël started trying to remember again while she waited. After thinking hard for about two minutes, she sighed frustrated, (well it was silent, but she still did) and Rosa asked, "Cos?"
Noël did the laughing action at Rosa's cuteness; it was such a great creature to have around! Looker who had come back, but was watching from the doorway found Noël not making a sound when laughing odd: normally mute people do make some sounds, were as Noël hadn't made one! Well, one he could recall anyway. He shook his head and then he walked in.
"Here are the books; it was good thinking to get some books. Why did you want some old books though?" Looker asked as he placed them on the desk.
"I had a thought and I would think it would be more likely in older books," Noël wrote.
"Oh, alright," Looker nodded, seeing she wasn't going to tell him any more than that.
As Noël picked up one of the books she was trying to work out exactly what she was after: she knew she was after some sort of warping thing, but what could that be called? Noël didn't have to worry about it too much though because the first book didn't have anything remotely like it. Noël hadn't read it all, but she had skimmed through the book just to make sure: and there was a summary of what the book covered at the front of it, which was what she was going off mostly.
A couple of pages through the next book, Noël noticed Looker had started reading the books she had already read. Right then, Noël noticed a part of the book sounded close to what she wanted:
"'A great hole opened up in the sky: people of Alola and the world cowered and shrieked as strange Alien creatures came out. The deities of Alola fought against these creatures, but their efforts were in vain. The Beast that devours the sun then the Beast that devours the moon, came. They fought back the alien creatures and split the world in two: now resides the world of the Sunne and the world of the Moone'. The only crossway is through 'Ultra Worm Holes' which are very rare. Some special Pokémon can create them; otherwise, you'd be very lucky to have one appear. They cause a flush and suck up two items/people/Pokémon before closing again. Unless you jump in yourself then or at a later date; there is no recovering what went in. travelling through Ultra Worm Holes usually brings the person to no harm. However, if the person gets into the 'Ultra Space' (see page 40) and is there for an extended amount of time; that can lead to memory loss, and change in personality such becoming scared and nervous. Scientists believe that there are some UB (Alien creatures/ Ultra Beasts. Page 47) which can cause: mood swings, rapid change in personality, memory loss and loss of word self-control. When the world was split, several other regions were left in the world of Sunne and Moone; but not all of them; such as it was believed there was once a region called Kanto, and none of the existing regions are called that."
"Lunch; I think, Noël. Doctor Stats will be here in an hour and a half," Looker said just after Noël had finished reading that passage. Noël quickly glanced back at her book to see this half-page was in the chapter called 'Sun and Moon.'
Noël nodded, then she quickly wrote something down, and showed it to Looker, "This part of this book; it mentions Ultra Worm Holes."
"Do you think that is possibly how you got here?" Looker asked and Noël nodded. "Well, it might depend on what Doctor Stats says about you: because she is looking you over, and she will be able to confirm or prove wrong your theory. But, can I read it?"
Noël nodded, then she wrote, "Sure. Where are we eating lunch?"
"I'll lock the front door and turn the doorbell on. That way, we can get some lunch and eat it upstairs and if someone comes and it's urgent, they can ring the doorbell," Looker said. It was a good idea of Saniel's to install the doorbell! But, because Saniel didn't really trust it, he still insisted whoever stayed was near the door and there was nothing interesting near the door like an archive room. If there was, it would mean staying was a much more interesting task.
Noël nodded and marked the page as Looker left. Then, she put Rosa in her bag and then followed the same path Looker had used to get out. When Noël entered the hall just outside the room she and Looker had been sitting in, she heard a click and she looked towards the door to so Looker locking the door and turned the alarm on: or at least, that was what she thought he'd be doing. When they were both ready, they went upstairs. Noël thought yet again that with the International Police Station being so huge, she'd never learn her way around.
When they arrived in the Kitchen, Looker said, "I hope you don't mind lettuce and egg sandwiches for lunch, that is the best of my cooking abilities: and I have to cook since the Cooks needed to go, too. Quite often they do go, but one nearly always stays."
"That's okay. Lettuce is healthy and it's probably all I could make," Noël wrote.
"Maybe, then again: maybe not," Looker said, not really saying either way.
A little later, he was finished! And Looker was glad: he hated handling eggs, as they felt awful and looked it. At least when they were in the sandwich they didn't look so bad. Looker had made quite a big tower of sandwiches, and Noël as impressed they were staying up. Looker said, satisfied, "We're finished. Come on, Noël; let's eat!"
They walked to the meal's room which wasn't far away, as there was a door in-between the two rooms. Noël wondered why Epona didn't bring take her through that way at breakfast? She must have forgotten about it, Noël eventually decided.
When they sat down and had been eating for a while; Looker asked, "Can I have a look at that passage you found?"
Noël nodded and handed Looker the book with the page marked, and Looker read it while they ate. As they finished eating, Looker put the book down and said, "Well, it is certainly interesting."
"Even if it's nothing, I think it's interesting, too," Noël wrote.
"Yes," Looker agreed. Then he looked at his watch. "Do you want to read more? We still have half an hour."
Noël nodded as she picked the book up.
"Why don't you let Rosa out, then? You'll have to have it in your bag while Doctor Stats is here: just because Rosa is rare, and even though I trust Doctor Stats; we need to keep it hidden until we know what it is," Looker said. He did trust the doctor, but since they didn't know what Rosa was, he wanted to play it very safe.
"Fair enough," Noël wrote, then she unzipped her bag to let Rosa out: who jumped straight out.
Then Noël asked at it had just dawned on her, "I heard someone mention 'the normal police' at breakfast; what are they? And what's the difference to you guys?"
"Well, the normal police are the people who handle bread being stolen and stuff; and anyone can join and they get trained as time goes on. Whereas the International Police are highly trained: when someone joins depending on the age, will have to go through several years of training. And they unusually get left at the base to man it, as they are not as well trained so it's safer for them. They are called 'Trainees.' When they complete their training, they become 'Officers.' And the reason for all the training, Noël: is because we handle special cases, like you and your story," Looker explained. There were a few more details he didn't mention, but Noël was only eight and she didn't need to know everything.
"Thanks," Noël wrote gratefully.
Half an hour later, Noël had just reached the chapter called 'Ultra Space' when a clock chime rang through the building. "Ah, that will be doctor Stats. I'll go and let her in; you better find Rosa. Maybe leave your bag in here until Doctor Stats goes; it would be safer. We will be on the ground floor, in a room near the door," Looker suggested, then he left to go meet the doctor.
Thinking it was a good idea, Noël decided to do what Looker suggested when she found Rosa; but she had to find it, first. Rosa was not hard to find: all it was doing was staring out one of the windows, watching some bird Pokémon flying about. Noël realised that Rosa probably wanted to be free and be able to play with other Pokémon. So, she decided she would ask Looker about it when the doctor left.
Catching Rosa was fine: however, getting it into Noël's bag was another issue. She eventually managed though, and Noël silently told Rosa she'd be back shortly before she headed downstairs.
Noël got a bit lost trying to find where Looker and the doctor were, but she managed it after ten minutes of walking around the ground floor. Doctor Stats was a blonde-haired lady dressed in Yellow. She had dark eyes and her hair was in a ponytail.
"Here she is. Doctor, this is Noël. Noël, this is Doctor Yellow Stats," Looker said, doing the introductions as soon as he saw Noël.
"Looker! How many times do I have to tell you?! Call me Yellow!" Doctor Stats said to Looker irritably. Then she turned to Noël and kindly said, "Nice to meet you, Noël. Looker tells me you can't speak: is that true?"
Noël nodded, then she quickly wrote on a piece of paper and gave it to Doctor Stats. It said, "Nice to meet you, Doctor. And yes, that is this truth."
"Right; but please, Yellow," Doctor Stats/Yellow said. Then she said pulling out a device that Noël had seen people like Anabel and Epona had. She believed it was called a Poké Ball.
Doctor Stats/Yellow threw the Poké Ball, and a tall white and green Pokémon that looked like it was wearing a dress came out. "Gardevoir!" the Pokémon cried.
"Now, Noël, this here is my partner, Gardevoir: she'll be helping me give you a look over. Now, it is pretty simple for you; the hardest part is what I do. To start with, Noël; all I want you to do is sit on this chair and concentrate on just Gardevoir. When I say, though," Doctor Stats/Yellow said, as she started to get a device that looked like a computer with lots of antennas on the top. Doctor Stats/Yellow said as she got it ready, "This is for me to record and see everything about you, Noël; such as your teeth are and if your leg is broken. These antennas catch rays, Psychic and visions from Gardevoir; which they are played on my computer."
Noël nodded, then she went and sat on the chair while the doctor talked. When Doctor Stats/Yellow had finished with the computer, she said, "Now, Noël! Gardevoir, you know what to do!"
"Gar!" Gardevoir cried.
Noël tried very hard to concentrate on Gardevoir. It was very hard, and she hoped she was doing an okay job because Noël didn't know how she could improve: she believed she was trying her hardest.
Noël didn't know what Gardevoir was doing to her; but whatever it was, it felt like having someone look straight through her. It was very creepy, and Noël hoped it didn't go on for too long, or she would freak out and break her concentration.
After around five or seven minutes, Doctor Stats/Yellow said, "And, stop. Okay, what I just did there was a rough health check and mental examination. What we've found so far is she seems physically fine in health; in all ways. But when we get to mental health, it starts to get interesting. What Gardevoir's been able to find us, is: basically, no real memories in Noël's mind passed when you first met her; what is there is basically just little one second flashes which Noël doesn't even remember. The only thing she can remember is what she's already told you: the thing about falling feeling and hearing someone scream 'Noel.'"
"What happened to the memories?" Looker asked, not understanding most of what Yellow had just said.
"I really don't know. Normally, when people of lost memories there is kind of a brick wall with the forgotten memories behind; and depending on what happened, a Pokémon like Gardevoir might be able to break the wall. But this is just like they have disappeared: it's eerie. However, it does remind me about a case a few years back when I was travelling and Team Rocket summoned Deoxys: any person who got hit by one of its tentacle-like arms would forget basically everything. It was horrible. One of my friends had that happen to her, and the only reason she remembered was that we all really loved her and we managed to recreate some moments in her life that she remembered; eventually, she remembered everything," Yellow (Doctor Stats) said sadly, looking down at her feet.
"Do you think this could be the same with Noël? Or at least, it was something similar?" Looker asked. He knew Pokémon other than Deoxys could cause memory loss.
"It's possible, especially if she got warped through an Ultra Worm Hole: because there are a lot of UBs, and The Over the Blue Foundation; which are the group who knows the most about the Ultra Space; don't even have a name for half of the UBS. That would also make sense from the fact Noël has gone through quite a long big scare fairly recently. Even if she can't remember it, the trauma is still in her brain," Yellow said looking thoughtful.
"What about her speech?" Looker asked, coming around to the final question he needed to ask.
"There is nothing preventing her from speaking. The reason she isn't is either due to stubbornness or the big scare. She will only start speaking again if she wants to, but even then, she might not continue to. I will do a few more health tests just to make sure, but she looks fine and as healthy as can be. When the time comes, I'm sure she will speak," Yellow said. She was founding the whole thing very weird.
"Right, thank you, Yellow," Looker said gratefully.
Yellow then went on to do some more tests. One she did was kind of like an X-ray, except it checked organs as well. Because she used Gardevoir for it they didn't need to worry about radiation, and it was possible to do everything she wanted. Most doctors didn't know the potential in Psychic Pokémon and what they could do to help the medical areas, but Yellow managed to, and she was slowly writing a book to share with the world.
The next thing Yellow did was take some blood samples, and then she examined Noël's eyes and teeth. She asked Gardevoir to help her do a scan thingy of Noël's eyes and teeth. When she was finished with that, she got Noël do to a few breathing exercises before she finally said, "Well, I'll get back to you in around a week with the results. Have a nice day."
"You too, Yellow; and thank you," Looker nodded.
"Thank you," Noël wrote using the same piece of paper as from earlier. Yellow nodded and packed up and left with, "Goodbye!"
When she was sure Yellow was gone, Noël wrote to ask Looker, "Is it possible at some point in the near future I could take Rosa outside?"
"I think Epona or Anabel were going to be staying with you tomorrow: ask them. They have Pokémon, so if something happened or Rosa got attacked, they'd be more useful. Speaking of which, are you going to go and get Rosa now?" Looker asked, and Noël nodded.
Noël walked upstairs to go and get her bag and the book she was in the middle of reading, (she just remembered she left it up there) she had sort of remembered where it was, which made the trip up much quicker. The trip down wasn't so easy. When Noël got back to the area she and Looker had been in before lunch, (which took her ten minutes to find,) she saw Looker was already there, looking extremely bored already.
As Noël sat down and let Rosa out; Looker said, thinking about what Yellow had said, "Anyway, it's good to know your healthy."
"It is. And relieving, too," Noël wrote.
"It also seems your idea of being dragged through an Ultra Worm Hole is correct, too. But, from what she was saying, it sounded like you spent a reasonable amount of time in the Ultra Space. Can you remember any of it?" Looker asked, hoping she might be able to remember those tiny fragments Yellow was talking about.
Noël thought for a moment, then she wrote, "I don't know, let me think about it."
"Okay, take your time," Looker nodded.
As Noël read the next chapter of the book, a particular part near the beginning caught her eye:
"Not much is known about the Ultra Space, or what it looks like. However, from the limited we do know, it highly resembles the underwater and bottom of our ocean. Other researchers believe that it looks like the inside of a motherboard or a beautiful tropical forest. The current, and the most likely theory at the moment; is that it is all one world with small Worm Holes connecting them. This makes researchers wonder what other areas are out there.
UB (Ultra Beasts) come in many different sizes and shapes. The one we know the most of is Nihilego, as not long ago one wondered into our world. This terrifying creature is Rock/Poison in type. Despite the fact it looks pretty harmless, this creature can cause damaging fear, as well as cause loss of self-control, increased anger, and can make any person go mad with one touch of their venom. This creature resembles a Jellyfish Pokémon, such as Tentacool. Some of its movements resemble a young girl, which is why people don't tend to run away from it: because it looks harmless."
Noël looked down at an old photo just at the bottom of the page which had a white with a bit of blue jellyfish-like Pokémon gliding through an area which looked like what people imagined the undersea looks like. Underneath was a small note, "This is a photo of a Nihilego in the Ultra Space. This is one of the only photos that has managed to be taken of the Ultra Space. Only four other images are known."
Noël stared right into the picture. Then she remembered going to a strange place which looked like that. Then she remembered feeling scared behind measure! Noël jumped back in her chair causing it to hit the desk behind her and a book on top of the shelf on the desk to fall down.
"What's the matter?" Looker asked looking up.
Noël quickly wrote to Looker, "This photo: I've been there. It was very scary."
"So, you've remembered something. Thank you for sharing, Noël. Can I see?" Looker asked. Noël nodded and handed the book to him pointing at the picture.
"It's a strange place: but I wonder why it was scary? Hey, what's the time?" Looker asked as he handed back to Noël. Looker looked at his watch and saw in was half past four.
"If no one comes in the next ten minutes, we will have to go and visit Elderberry," Looker said, hoping someone did. One thing he found more boring than manning the base all day was visiting Elderberry! Even Saniel, (her own son!) found visiting her quite a dull experience.
Five minutes later, Epona, Muller and Anabel walked through the door! "Your back," Looker said excitedly. Finally, some signs of the day ending!
"Yep. Saniel has gone to see Elderberry: he was with us until then, though," Epona said. She looked happy to be back; which made Looker wonder if Anabel and Muller were arguing.
"Okay, good; I don't have to go. How did it go?" Looker asked as he and Noël got up. Noël then went to go and grab Rosa.
"Good. What did Yellow say?" Anabel said.
"Saniel wants to hear at the meeting," Looker simply said.
"Course' he does," Muller said.
Then the cooks came back. "We'll go and start dinner: the rest are on their way back. Come up for some cheese and crackers, though. Got some lovely old cheese left; I recall quite a few of you like old cheese," the older female cook said. Sabrina, Looker thought she was called.
"I do!" Epona said confirming what Sabrina said. Everyone nodded, and they followed the cooks up, talking rather loudly.
(After dinner)
After Looker had explained what Yellow had said earlier and Noël's theory; Saniel said, "Well, that changes things. We will still post the posters: but now, there is a chance she could be from the other world."
"You mean the Sun part of our world? The part that Solgaleo watches over?" someone asked.
"Yes, that is what I mean," Saniel said nodding. No one had ever been there since the world was split, so Saniel wondered if the current generation there even knew of the Moone world.
"But if that is the case, she's stuck here," Anabel said, not knowing Saniel and Looker were both suspecting she and Noël had both come from the Sunne world.
"As far as we're aware. However, there are researchers studying that: so, I will send an email tonight asking if they can inform us about discoveries with crossing the gap between the two worlds. It is possible that the Ultra Space is all that is between us; and if we can work out how to enter it, we can get there," Saniel said being optimistic.
"Well, this is scary," Epona said; thinking about the fact Ultra Worm Hole could appear and just freely warp them to the other world and they'd never get back!
"Who's staying tomorrow?" Muller asked, changing the subject.
"Epona and John are staying. Though Epona is looking after Noël and John will be restocking the Kitchen," Saniel said; remembering why John wanted to stay.
"Is it possible we could get a Poké ball for Rosa? Noël won't be a trainer; of course, being too young and all. But, it is too risky just having Rosa in a bag; it is very easy for it to get lost. And Epona, she also wanted to take Rosa to the park, tomorrow," Looker said butting in as there seemed to be a natural break in the conversation.
"I will talk to the 'Over the Blue' Foundation," Saniel said, assuming Rosa is what Noël was calling the strange Pokémon.
"Sure, we can go to the park," Epona nodded. She didn't mind: she really liked the park! In fact, it was her favourite place to spend her days off.
"I call this meeting closed!" Saniel decided, banging a rubber mullet down.
"Thank you," everyone said. Then they mostly went to bed.
Upstairs, Noël had been reading the same book and just now she had finished it. It was a very interesting book, and she had learned a lot about the 'Sunne world,' UBs and the Ultra Space; but she hadn't found anything that might tell her what Rosa is. That didn't matter though: there were still other books and ways to find out.
Having finished reading and it being quite late, Noël decided to go to sleep. However, Rosa was snoring this night, and that was keeping Noël awake. Rosa wasn't very loud, but it's snores were high pitched which meant she couldn't fall asleep.
Eventually, Noël decided to open up the music box and listened to that. Listening to that for a while did get her to sleep, thankfully; or she would have to wake Rosa, which would not have ended well; especially when it would have awoken the whole building.
Two chapters up! Yay! We're getting there! The next chapter will be more interesting and have more travel happening in it. Before you ask, The Over the Blue Foundation is the Moone world version of the Aether Foundation. Next chapter will have the over the blue foundation's president in it.
