After traveling for a few hours over the rocky range of Mt. Travail, we stopped to look at the scenery for awhile. We were near the top of the mountain and the sun was still rising up with red and yellow clouds spreading out.

"Wow…that's pretty. But…" Thunder stated and then let out a sigh of relief before falling onto the ground, sitting down. Mia walked up to him while the rest of us watched, wondering what was wrong, though I already knew.

"Thunder…you ok?" Mia asked very worried. Thunder could tell and looked up at her and smiled.

"I just miss my team, is all." Mia sat next to him and smiled back while the rest of us looked at each other hopefully.

"They're fine, I'm sure of it. I-"

"Wait a second…shh." I interrupted when I thought I heard grunting.

"What's wrong, Grovyle?" Morrithi asked me, slightly anxious.

"I thought I heard grunts…like someone in pain."

"You could've imagined it, Grovyle." Dusknoir suggested, but I glanced at him with slight anger and he re-estimated his statement. "Or…you heard grunts like someone in pain." Then I heard clear grunts of someone in pain coming from the top of the mountain. I looked at the others and saw that they heard it too. We rushed up to the top and once there, we saw an injured Absol trying to walk but failing every time.

"Absol?" Thunder wondered hopefully, but I sensed some doubt in the tone of his voice. The Absol looked our way and his eyes lit up with hope. I knew he was Thunder's Absol…he wore a dark grey scarf and the same badge Thunder had.

"T-Thunder?"

"Absol! You're here! Are you alright?!" Thunder rushed to Absol's side, checking him over. Mia ran up next to Thunder, Morrithi next to her, I came up next to her, Celebi floated beside Absol on his other side, and Dusknoir floated between her and me.

"I'll be fine…I just need to rest. I'm glad you're fine, Thunder."

"I'm glad you're fine too, Absol. Oh, this is Team PokémonSky. They're helping me find our team."

"That's very kind of you, thanks."

"It's what we do. We help others. But Absol…" Morrithi put her hand onto Absol at which he grunted. "What happened to you?"

"I was attacked."

"By who…what?" Thunder franticly asked. Absol looked at Thunder and smiled warmly.

"Thunder, it's alright. I'm fine, I told you."

"Who was it, though?"

"It was a…a…I'm not sure."

"You're not sure? What did it look like?" Celebi asked from behind him.

"It was blue, metal-like and huge…I mean HUGE. Like a mountain…except not that big but he might as well have been. He kept asking me about some Pokémon called Darkrai-"

"Darkrai?" I interrupted, frightened. I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking.

"Yes, Darkrai, whatever that is. I told him I didn't know what a Darkrai was but he didn't believe me. He thought I was an agent of Darkrai so he beat me up. After a while, some other huge, pink I think, metal-like Pokémon came and said that he thinks he knows where Darkrai is at. They both left and totally forgot about me. What was that about?"

"Dialga and Palkia…Darkrai must've escaped." Dusknoir explained in short terms. Morrithi groaned and I hugged her slightly.

"It's alright, Morrithi…he will not get us again."

"What's wrong?" Thunder asked extremely worried. Morrithi shook her head and tear up a bit and I hugged her tighter.

"I'll tell you later…but I rather not right now when Morrithi is present. I don't want that memory to come back to her…not like this."

"I'm sorry…" Absol apologized, but I looked at him confused.

"What? Don't apologize, you've done nothing wrong. What needs to be done right now though is you need to rest."

"I know!" Celebi suddenly called out. "I'll take him back to Sharpedo's Bluff and stay there with him. Huh…good idea?"

"Celebi…what if-" Dusknoir started, but Celebi continued.

"You guys need to continue to Treeshroud Forest for Rega before she leaves that place, remember?"

"Rega? Is she fine?"

"We believe so…we've been looking for her sense a couple of days ago."

"Celebi…it's only been one day." I corrected her, but she groaned and cried out in anger to herself.

"First I under-see things now I OVER-see things? What's wrong with me?!"

"Nothing, Celebi. But you should do that. Absol needs to rest…alright, Absol?"

"Ok, then. I'll see you later, Thunder. Good luck finding Rega and the others." Absol slowly got up and started following Celebi.

"Thanks, Absol. Get better soon."
