Two days later….
After living in the woods for a two days with Keldeo and Riolu, I was gathering berries for them when I came across a Tepig that looked very lost "Are you lost?" I ask approaching the fire pokemon.
"No I'm good," replies the Fire Pig pokemon.
"You seem familiar," I say looking at the pokemon, "Do you have a name?"
"The name is Sira. Do you have a name?"
"Uh. Yes it is Zachary. Did you ever serve as a Chief engineer on board a starship?"
"How do you know that?!" she asks surprised.
"Because I was your captain on board that starship."
"Captain Byford?"
"Yes thats me."
"Good someone I have a history with, and yes I am lost."
"Where are you trying to get to?"
"Back to Mein's place."
"Who is that?"
"She found me shortly after I got teleported to this planet. She has been teaching me how to fight and survive ever since."
"May I ask how you got lost?"
"Mein sent me to get some things for her and I got lost on my way back."
"Do you know where she is?"
"If I did I wouldn't be lost now would I?"
"Well maybe one of the others knows where she is."
"Others?"
"Follow me."
"Who is this?" asks Keldeo when we get back.
"You remember when I told you the story of how I got to you. This is the chief engineer I told you about. Have you heard of a Mein?" I reply.
"No but one of the others might. We where just about to head back."
"I liked it here. But I will go anyway."
"Who are they?" asks Sira.
"The one who was just talking to me is Keldeo, and the other is Riolu," I explain.
"Hello there," she says
Later that day….
"This is the Sword of Justice base of operations," I tell both Sira and Riolu as we enter the cave.
"Who are they?" asks Cobalion.
"The Tepig is Sira who was my chief engineer before I got here, and he is Riolu whom owes me a life debt."
"What for?"
"Me and Keldeo rescued him from under a fallen tree that he couldn't get out from under."
"Well if he owes you a life debt we can't really deny him. As for Sira why is she here?"
"She got lost. She is here hoping one of you could help her get back."
"Where is she trying to get to?"
"She told me that she is trying to get back to a person named Mein. Do you know her?"
"I haven't heard that name in years."
"So you do know her."
"Yes, we have quite a history."
"What do you mean?" I ask
"About thirty years ago me and her got together and created the Swords of Justice. We loved each other with a love that is more then love, but as we developed a training style we went our separate ways. She felt friendship was the best way to train but I believed that friendship was a distraction and being the, impulsive youngster I was, I figured a battle would be the best way to work it out. It only brought pain to us both," he explained before a pained, sad look crossed his face.
"Can you continue your story?"
"No it is to painful to continue."
"Thats all right you don't have to tell us more then you can handle," I say as we leave him with his memories.
