Before we start, to answer your Dhuaguefh, if I let Zubeia meet Sisu and her siblings, I would imagine that she would give them odd looks at first, but after a bit, she would welcome them like long lost cousins.

Now Chapter 3.

Chapter 3

River Of Lost

Kumandra's River

After escaping Namaari and her riders on Boun's boat, they all relaxed a little. Everyone but Rayla and Raya, who were on the back of this ship, with Zym in between them, hiding from Boun. With Rayla, it was because they were on a boat, and she was having a terrible time. And for Raya, it was because Sisu was in her dragon form and swimming in the water, and Regidrao was floating above the water over her.

Not that Sisu or Regidrago cared, Sisu was having a blast swimming in the river for the first time in 500 years. Swimming through kelp, and schools of fish. And Regidrago was enjoying the breeze coming off the river.

"Sisu? Sisu?" Raya called out in a hushed tone over the side of the boat where Regidrago was hanging out. Then Sisu came to the surface, floating on her back. "Please get out of there. And put Regidrago back" Raya said to Sisu.

"I'm a water dragon. This is water. It's sort of my thing. Besides, Regidrago loves the river breeze." Sisu said to Raya. "Yes, nothing is more relaxing to me than that breeze of this great river." Regidrago said to Raya.

"Hey Zymmy, care to join?" Sisu asked Zym. Zym chirped and tried to jump into the water, but Rayla stopped him. "No." Rayla said to Zym, before putting Zym back in the back, and everyone moved to the back of the boat, where Sisu moved to.

"Someone could see you two." Raya said to Sisu. "Oh. Do you mean Captain Pop and lock over there? What, are you scared he's gonna challenge me to a dance battle? Well it's not like he's going to see, everyone else is watching him make the food." Sisu said, as raised her head up, and saw Boun putting on a show for everyone else, as he cooked the food.

But Raya was more interested in using her body to hide Sisu's head, facing Boun, and making Sisu move around the ship to see, only for Raya to block Sisu's view every time her head was visible. This got old quickly for Raya, and she turned to Sisu. "Sisu, Regidrago, I saw people lose their minds over a Dragon Gem. Can you imagine what they'd do over an actual dragon and one of the Great Pokemon?" Raya asked Sisu. "Or our normal, non-stone Pokemon?" Rayla asked Sisu and Regidrago, as Sisu lowered herself into the water.

"Look, we need you to make this all work. Until we have all the gems, you have to stay human. And Regidrago you to stay in that Pokeball thing. Please." Raya asked them. "Wow, you really got some trust issues." Sisu said to Raya. "Yeah, so what if he sees us? We're not hatchling, we can hold our own in a fight." Regidrago said to Raya.

"Speaking of a fight. I'm still upset that you didn't let me out to fight in that cave." Regidrago said to Sisu. "Heh heh, sorry." Sisu said to Regidrago. "Sisu, Regidrago, look, my father blindly trusted people, and now, he's stone." Raya said to Sisu. "You trust us?" Rayla asked Raya. "Only because you have pokemon and that's it." Raya said to Rayla. "Well that hurts my feelings." Rayla said to Raya. "Sorry but after what happened to my ba, I don't trust people." Raya said to Rayla, as Sisu got back onto the ship in her human form.

"Hey, we'll get you ba back. We got you, girl. Come on, who's your dragon?" Sisu asked Raya, making Raya frown a little. "I mean, human. Because I'm gonna be a human until… yeah, you.. You get it." Sisu saud ti Raya. "And once again. You've embarrassed us. So I'll go back into that Pokeball thing." Regidrago said, before returning to the Pokeball.

Then Boun made Sisu and Raya sit down at the table with everyone, not noticing Sisu dragon form or Regidrago. Then Boun helped Rayla to the table, with Rayla dragging Zym's back to the table. "Okay, who's hungry?" Boun asked everyone, pouring out some food for everyone.

"Oh, I am." Sisu said. "Us too. We haven't had a decent meal all day." Allen said to Boun. "Then here's eight house specials." Boun said, as he finished pouring out the food. "How spicy would you all like it? Hot, hotter, or Boun-goes-the dynamite?" Boun asked everyone, as he placed bottles with spices, and a jar of red powder on the table.

"Bring on the heat!" Sisu said to everyone. "Yeah, no. No, I don't think so." Raya said, as she took everyone's food, and started to inspect everyone's food. "Hey!" Callum asked Raya. "Uh, what are you doing?" Sisu asked Raya. "We don't know him. It could be poison." Raya whispered to everyone. "Why would he poison us?" Sisu asked Raya, in a hushed tone.

"Yeah, why would I poison you?" Boun asked Raya, hearing everything she said, as he gave Tuk Tuk his food. "First, to get my jade purse, second to steal my sword, and third, I don't know, to kidnap my Tuk Tuk." Raya said to Boun, as she held up three fingers and made Tuk Tuk stop eating with his mouth full.

"All good points, but if this is poison…" Boun said to Raya, before trying some of the food that he was cooking. "Mmm!... You're gonna die happy." Boun said to Raya. "Yeah, thanks, but we got our own eats." Raya said to Boun, taking out some of her jerky and putting up a really hard fight to take a bite of the jerky.

Not wanting to eat that jerky, they all grabbed their food, and started to eat it. And everyone likes it. Everyone but Rayla. She tried a bit of the food, but being on a boat, and the food's unique taste, made her feel sick. So she put the food into Ezran's bag where Zym was hiding and let Zym eat it.

"This is delicious." Sisu said to everyone. "It needs more spikes." Allen said, as he and Sisu took some of the powder and put it on their food. "By the way, not poison." Sisu said to Raya, before she and Allen took a bite of their food after putting all the powder in it. And while Allen was enjoying it, Sisu's mouth started to burn.

"But it's… It's hot. Ooh, it's hot! It's hot! It's really hot! Oh, my! Oh! Water! Boun? Captain Boun? We need water on deck!" Sisu said to Boun, as everyone but Allen laughed at Sisu. "I guess you can't handle the heat?" Allen asked as Sisu finally got some water.

Kumandra's Plains

With Namaari and her riders, they were riding through the plains, but Namaari made everyone stop. Then Namaari and her riders moved slowly. The reason, they were passing through an ancient battlefield. Dragon and Pokemon all turned to stone and were covered in plant life. And the Pokemon that were with the dragons was a small herd of Tauros, Girafarig, Stanler, Wooloo, Dubwool, And Bouffalant.

Namaari and her riders moved through the dragons and Pokemon in silence. After they all passed through, Namaari's riders went on ahead, as Namaari turned to the dragons and Pokemon, and formed a circle with her hands, and raised it into the air as the sun started to set. As Namaari left, she looked at a dragon and a Bouffalant.

Kumandra's River

Back on Boun's boat, Raya and Allen were watching the Druun move in the forecast around them, as night blanketed the sky. "These things are a creepy species." Allen said to Raya, as Raya sharpened her sword. Tuk Tuk whimpered. "He's scared." Ezran said to Raya. "I think we all are." Callum said, as he, Ezan, and Kali kept themselves low to the boat. "I know everyone." Raya said to everyone, petting Tuk Tuk.

"You know, during the day, you can almost forget they're here, but at night…" Boun said, as he rowed the boat. "This is why I never leave the boat." Boun said to everyone. "You're a smart kid." Raya said to Boun.

"What are Druun, anyways?" Boun asked everyone. "A plague. Born from human discord." Sisu said, getting everyone's attention. That's when they noticed Sisu hanging out by the edge of the boat, with a plate of flowers next to her.

"They've always been here since the Great Dragon died." Sisu said to everyone. "Do you think she means when Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem split?" Kali asked the gang, whispering. "Most likely." Allen whispered to Kali.

"They were driven away when Pokemon came into our world. But they have been waiting for a moment of weakness to attack. They're like the opposite of dragons and Pokemon. Instead of bringing water, nature, and life to the world, they're like a relentless fire that consumes everything in its wake until there's nothing left except ash and stone." Sisu said to everyone.

"They took my family." Boun said to everyone, making everyone sad. "They took mine, too." Sisu said to Boun, before taking 8 flowers from the plate. Sisu held the flowers next to her head and put them in the water. Everyone moved to Sisu's side, everyone but Raya.

Boun said nothing and did the same thing Sisu did, putting 5 flowers in the river. "We didn't lose our family to the Druun. But we know what it's like to lose loved ones." Allen said to Sisu and Boun, as all picked up some flowers, as did the same thing as Sisu and Boun.

"We lost our mom and dad." Ezran and Callum said, as they each placed 1 flower into the river. "Us too." Allen and Drake said, as they each put 1 flower into the river. "I lost my mom." Kali said, as she put 1 flower into the river. "I lost both my parents." Rayla said putting 2 flowers into the river.

Then Raya finally joined them, Raya said nothing, doing the same things as everyone else, and put 1 flower into the water. That flower joined the other 20 flowers and they all floated together down the river.

Then Raya turned her head to the direction the boat was moving. Everyone followed her lead, and saw a lot of lights in the distance. "Looks like we're here." Boun said to everyone. "So that Electric Talon?" Callum asked. "Yeap." Raya said to Callum.

"So, where are you guys heading after Electric Talon? I might be heading there, too. I mean, for a fee, of course." Boun said, making everyone giggle a little. "Of course." Raya said to Boun.
