The floating castle was now coming down slowly. The gang, including Team Rocket was going with it. The Zapdos was also trapped and unable to fly away from the dark forces. The ship was going into the castle and they were locked inside. Melody, Ariel, and Eric looked up.

"They were there!" Melody pointed up, she didn't fully see, but she caught a glimpse of Akito and Emi. "Now they're stuck..."

"There's gotta be a way for us to help them." Eric said.

"How, Daddy?" Melody asked.

"Ariel, do you know anyone who could help?" Eric asked his mermaid wife.

Melody hoped that there was a way to help them.

"I-I'm not sure..." Ariel said softly. She then looked in the distance, squinting her eyes. "Is that... Cherry?"

"Yeah, I think it is." Eric said.

"It can't be, what's she doing out here...?" Melody had to wonder.

A familiar blonde merman with copper brown eyes came up, he had a mustache with slight stubble. "Ariel...?"

Ariel turned to him and recognized him instantly and hugged him. "Urchin!"

The two shared a hug, but had to break it up.

"Melody thinks she saw someone strange and they were taken up to that castle!" Ariel pointed up, even if that story sounded strange.

Urchin looked up and hummed. "I see..." he believed her somehow. "I may not be like your father, but I'll try to help."

"Thanks, you're the greatest." Ariel said.

"Sure..." Urchin smiled to his new family, also very thrilled to be an uncle. "You got cousins to meet." he told Melody.

Melody giggled.

"One of those Pokemon creatures will help us," Urchin explained. "One that lives in water, looks like an otter and a seagull."

"Cool." Melody said.

"I'm not sure what it's called though." Urchin said then.

"How have you been?" Ariel asked him.

"I'm fine... But... Someone promised to meet me and have a surprise for me, but I guess the storm has kept them away..." Urchin sighed as he stared at the water they were in.

"FORTE! GET US UP THERE!" Cherry yelled.

"That is Cherry!" Ariel recognized then.

Melody looked over. "Aunt Cherry?"

"That's Cherry for sure." Eric said.

The merpeople swam over, accidentally splashing over the immortal woman.

"WATCH IT!" Cherry hissed, then noticed who splashed her. "Ariel?"

"Cherry..." Ariel whispered.

"What're you doing here?" Cherry asked, wringing her hair now.

"We were gonna ask you the same thing." Melody remarked.

"We're looking for my daughter." Cherry said then.

"Why is it when you care about her she's your daughter?" Forte rolled his eyes.

"Because she's a caring mother." Ariel said.

Forte snorted. "Caring mother..." he muttered.

"I am..." Cherry glared up at him, then looked to the merpeople. "Again, why are you here?"

"Melody says she saw someone familiar that we haven't met before and they were taken up to a castle in the sky." Ariel explained.

"A castle in the sky?" Cherry asked, she sounded like she didn't believe that story, but instead, she said, "You know, I believe you..."

"You do?" Eric was shocked.

"After a crazy night I had with aliens, I believe anything..." Cherry gave a nod. "My daughter is probably with them now... Atticus's daughter Estelle called Mo to tell them that they were okay, but they're probably kidnapped by now."

"Atticus has a daughter?" Ariel asked.

"Twins and another boy actually, Akito and Vincent," Cherry explained. "You must not have spoken in years..."

"Wow, I did not see that coming" Melody said.

"Ariel?" Atticus asked as soon as he saw his mermaid cousin.

Ariel looked to her cousin. "Atticus!"

Forte looked up at the castle. "I hope they're all okay for now."

Urchin smiled once he saw Atticus, if it wasn't for Atticus, he would still be a homeless merboy with no family of his own until it was convinced to King Triton to adopt Urchin into the royal family. Melody looked and saw that Atticus did look a little like the merboy she saw.

Meanwhile in the strange floating castle, there were other trapped Pokemon, including Zapdos while the kids, Pikachu, and Team Rocket were trapped in a cage.

"Look over there." Akito said, pointing to the cage that had Moltres in it.

Tracey was shocked at the sight.

"What's this?" Melody hummed as she saw something by their cage.

Felicity took a look and saw the writing better than anyone else. "'Disturb not the Harmony of Ice and Lightning. You must please the titans of this world in which they clash'..."

"What do you suppose it means?" Melody asked the pale-skinned girl.

"I am not knowing for sure..." Felicity had a shrug.

A lever was heard being lowered, making everyone turn to it.

"I have a feeling our villain is coming down to greet us." Estelle said.

"A greater villain than we?" James sounded insulted at her assumption.

A man with slightly spiked hair came down to see the group. "Well, this certainly is a pleasure... Though not an expected one," once he got on the floor, he stood up. "What do you think of Moltres the bird of fire and Zapdos, the bird of lightning?"

"Disgusting!" Misty hissed. "The way you talk about it, it's like Pokemon are things to collect, what kind of trainer are you!?"

"Yeah, what kind of a trainer are you?!" Estelle asked out of anger.

"He's sounding more like a collector, but this kind of collector is just wrong." Akito said.

"I could not agree more." Felicity said to Akito.

"Sicko." Emi growled.

"I'm afraid I'm not a trainer, young people," the man said to them in return. "I am merely a collector. I began my collection with a new start and I have all this. Legendary Pokemon have always been my passion," he clicked a button, releasing them to the floor. "And soon, my collection itself will be legendary," he then had a computer tell him about any new Pokemon out there for him to add to his collection and one had as it took course to the wind. "Now, you'll have to excuse me..." he said as he sat back down and going back in the higher grounds where he was.

"The legend... Could it be?" Melody murmured.

"You mean the legend about the world coming to an end?" Estelle asked.

"It could if we don't stop this monster." Melody looked to her.

The storm was getting stronger outside.

Darla sighed as there was no sign of her family and she felt alone, but she still had Vincent and Eloise with her. "I need to get some sleep... Eloise..."

"Please, Mother, just a little longer!" Eloise begged.

"Dear, I'm sorry, but it's late enough as it is..." Darla said softly and tiredly. "You're a growing girl and you need your rest... I'm going to bed and I suggest you do the same."

"Aunt Darla's right, Eloise." Vincent said, winking at her, telling her that he had a plan.

"But Vince-" Eloise looked to him, then saw the wink. "Oh... You are so right, right, right! We'll get to bed, Mother."

"Thank goodness..." Darla yawned, then stood up. "I'm sorry, dear, we just have to hope they'll be fine in the morning..."

"Yep, well, we'll be heading to bed." Vincent said.

"Good night, sweetie..." Darla smiled.

"Night, Mommy..." Eloise kissed her mother on the cheeks in a fancy French style, then went off with Vincent.

Darla yawned, then walked off to bed, very tired, she was also thinking maybe she should be with Eloise more, being her mother. She was always gone and Eloise did have Nanny, but she needed a stronger female role model like herself.

She remembered sending Eloise to nursery school, but it led to an unspeakable traumatic experience for the caregivers and she worked in a boarding school with her best friend Amber... She couldn't stay at the hotel in New York, she would be jobless and not as rich and able to afford nice things for the family. She was stuck on what to do... She decided to give Amber a call about this. And that's what she did, unknowing to her that Eloise and Vincent were going to sneak out.

"Hey, Amber, it's Darla..." the blonde woman said gently on the phone.

"Hey, Darla, you okay?" Amber asked, sounding a little busy, but had time for her best friend. "You sound exhausted."

"I am... Long story... I was wondering what to do about my little Eloise," Darla sighed a little. "You know... She lives in New York with my old Nanny..."

"Oh, yes, I know all about Eloise and of what happened at the hotel on Christmas time." Amber said.

"That was pretty sweet..." Darla smiled, surprised she was able to make that plane to get home in time to hug Eloise on Christmas and actually celebrate with her, it was a Christmas miracle alright. She then frowned. "I think she's so rough all the time because... Well... I'm not there... And... She's never met her father... I wanted to surprise her about him today, but there's a storm here... And I don't know what to do with her, I can't leave the school and stay with little Ellie and I'm not sure if she's ready to go to a real school again..."

"You must follow your heart." Amber said.

Darla sighed, then yawned. "Yeah... Miss you... You should come to Paris with us sometime... I never knew this about myself until Atticus found some records one time... Apparently, I'm of French descent..." she kept talking with her best friend.
