(Page51)
Ti'e'yong on her knees tied up and blindfolded by Tangwon who was behind her while holding a sharp knife "stop right there you monster!" shouted Rhen as she immediately draw out her sword "Rhen?! Hurry get me out of here" shouted Ti'e'yong when she heard Rhen's voice "that's not going to happen, it's your fault that we are now stuck here for eternity" said Tangwon as he twirled the knife with his other hand since he lost his other hand "well that's good since you won't be destroying everything" said Rhen as she looked at Ti'e'yong as she stood still on her knees "true, but once I take care of your little friend here I'll deal with you, then get out of this wretched place" again said Tangwon and lifted Ti'e'yong by the hair as she squealed with pain "stop it you're hurting her!" Shouted Rhen as she took a step closer with her sword at the ready "ok then, I'll stop her pain right now" said Tangwon and yanked the blindfold off of Ti'e'yong pulling her head back as he did "you wouldn't" warned Rhen, Tangwon smiled evilly as he used his arm to trap Ti'e'yong into position and then readied the knife "no! Please no don't!" begged Ti'e'yong as she sweated as she felt the sharp end of the knife touching her neck, then he moved it to a stance where he would slit her neck off but before he pressed it into her neck he got an unexpected kick from Rhen, he slid towards the wall with the knife sliding away from him, Rhen quickly untied Ti'e'yong as she then embraced her "come on let's get out of here" Rhen whispered to Ti'e'yong as she carried her out of the room but when she did she heard a loud roar from behind, she looked to see Tangwon getting up and locked his eyes upon them "you are going to take me with you!" shouted Tangwon and began to chase after them as they ran towards the portal, even when they thought they could outrun him Tangwon was still in sight, as Rhen and Ti'e'yong neared the portal Rhen tugged the rope around her two times as from the other side of the portal Trivain felt the rope pulling her in "oh thank heavens" said Trivain when she thought Rhen was dead and without hesitation Trivain began to pull them out but someone was pulling them back in, soon Trivain manage to see Rhen's face pop out of the portal "what's going on back there?!" shouted Trivain as she saw the portal getting bigger "it's Tangwon, he's pulling us back in!" Rhen shouted back as her head sank back in, inside the dimension Tangwon had grabbed Rhen by the legs and was using everything he can to pull them back in "the coast doesn't need you!" shouted Tangwon as he had a firm grip on Rhen "nor does the coast want you!" Rhen shouted back and kicked Tangwon using her free leg but to no use he was still holding her other leg, on the other end Trivain was having trouble for the portal was about ready to suck her in "oh god, Rhen! The portal, it's sucking me in!" Trivain called into the portal, Rhen had heard what Trivain said and noticed the rope getting looser, when Rhen thought it was all over Ti'e'yong felt her strength coming back to her, she looked to see Tangwon pulling Rhen's leg just so that he could escape acting very fast she draw out her whip when Tangwon noticed her getting it out "no, you shall not dare!" Tangwon shouted to Ti'e'yong but as he knew he was a hand short "let's see how you like being tortured" said Ti'e'yong and lashed Tangwon hand making him release Rhen's leg as he fell onto the floor as Rhen and Ti'e'yong shot through the portal "noooooo!" shouted Tangwon as he got up and reached out to the portal, but it was too late he was now trapped, on the other side however Trivain gave one last tug and in an instant Rhen and Ti'e'yong shot out of the portal and fell on her.
(Page52)
As Trivain and the others watched the portal shrank into nothingness Trivain and Rhen looked at Ti'e'yong for a few seconds as soon tears of happiness ran down their faces as they immediately got down on their knees and clinched Ti'e'yong with joy, We thought we'd never see you again" said Trivain with joy when she finely saw her face again "well I'm here and alive now, thanks to you, your beliefs made you come and save me, so again I thank you, Rhen, Trivain" thanked Ti'e'yong as she held them both tightly "our beliefs? I'd never would've guessed that" said a puzzled Rhen "never mind that now, let's just be thankful that we decided to put our lives at stake to rescue you" said Trivain as she looked at Ti'e'yong who was smiling happily at them "oh how I waited for you to smile at us again" Rhen said with glee as she accidently let her emotions get the best of her and began to squeeze Ti'e'yong too hard "ouch, Rhen you breaking my back!" shouted Ti'e'yong as Rhen quickly loosen herself "I'm sorry, I just can't help it since you're now safe and sound here with us" replied Rhen as she scratched her head "speaking of us, where's Welton and Zan?" asked Ti'e'yong as she looked around to see only Rhen and Trivain "their back over at the temple, which we should think about going now, Zan and Welton are probably out looking for us" said Trivain "I agree let's leave this evil place behind" agreed Rhen as she reached into her rucksack and pulled out another transparent bandana and kindly wrapped it round Ti'e'yong's nose and mouth "what's this for?" mumbled Ti'e'yong through the bandana "this will protect you from the poisonous fog from outside, now come on we can't keep the boys waiting" answered Rhen as they all ran with cheerful smiles on their faces as they left the cave.
After a staggering sprint out of the Mushroom Woods and then up the staircase they were now standing in front of the temple door "well here at last" said a happy Ti'e'yong as she gazed at the temple "well now let's give our boys a nice reunion" said Rhen but then the door open as behind it was Zan and Welton who then noticed Rhen and Trivain standing side by side with Ti'e'yong behind them "ah you're back, we was slowly getting worried about you" said Zan as he sighed with relief "what took you so long? Were your important thing buried under the snow?" asked Welton, "yes but then we found someone you guaranty to be pleased with" answered Rhen as in an instant Ti'e'yong jumped out from the side showing herself to the boys "surprise!" the girls shouted, Welton and Zan's faces went from neutral to overjoyed when they saw the happy young Roserade live and well "Ti'e'yong! I don't believe it you're alive!" shouted a surprised Welton as he got down on his knees and reached out his arms as Ti'e'yong ran across the snow and threw herself into Welton's arms as he embraced her "oh I missed you so much Welton!" cried Ti'e'yong as tears of joy began to run down her face "well I'll be, I guess there was much in it to believe" said Zan as he gave a smile, Ti'e'yong looked at Zan as Welton released her from his embrace she ran up to Zan and hugged him from the waist which made Zan blush since he'd never received a hug before so he decided to hug her back "aww what a cute scene" swooned Rhen as she looked at the young Roserade and the Xatu druid embraced each over, after having their happy reunion Zan looked at everyone as they all smiled with delight "well now I know what this call for, a feast to welcome the return of our friend Ti'e'yong" said Zan and lead everyone into the temple's dining room.
(Page53)
After a short walk down the hallway and a few questions asked by Ti'e'yong as she'd never seen this part of the temple they had all arrived at the large dining room, "wow this place is huge" said Ti'e'yong as she admired the magnificent scene "well now, shall we take our seats" said Zan ah he lead the group to one end of the table, yet again they all decided to sit in the same spot they were in last time, well except for Zan as he insisted Ti'e'yong to sit in his chair "oh no I can't" said Ti'e'yong waving her hands in disagreement but Zan just ignored her as he pulled out his chair "please Ti'e'yong, this is a feast to you, so I insist that you sit here" said Zan as Ti'e'yong had no choice so she walked over and sat down on what use to be Zan's chair as then Zan tucked her in and then walked over and sat next to Trivain as she looked at him nervously "aww look at you Ti'e'yong, you look like a cute princess just by sitting there" giggled Rhen as she looked at her who was blushing as she sat there with her hand like flowers on her knees "well now in honour of Ti'e'yong's safe return, I'll shall now commence the feast!" Zan called out and raised his wings up and release five golden spheres as they floated through the cooking room door and as Ti'e'yong looked to see what was going on she looked with amusement when she saw her golden self enter the dining room first with a silver plate held high up while being followed by the other golden lot, "oh wow, their so pretty" said Ti'e'yong as she looked to her right to see her golden self lower her plate and looked to see a tasty Sunday roast laying in front of her, "oh this looks yummy" said Ti'e'yong as she watched the other's golden selves lay their plate out in front of them and then began to give out the knives and forks "so, can we begin?" asked Ti'e'yong as she had her knives and fork at the ready "ha ha, not yet Ti'e'yong, first I'd like to propose a toast" said Zan as Ti'e'yong moaned as she laid down her cutlery "oh ok, but make it snappy, I'm hungry" moaned Ti'e'yong as she glued her eyes to the delicious roast, Zan got up with his golden goblet which his golden self had gave him and held it out while looking at Ti'e'yong "everyone, we are gathered here today to celebrate our friend Ti'e'yong, who had waited bravely for our two heroin's Rhen and Trivain to come and rescue her, here's to Ti'e'yong!" Zan proposed as rest got up with their goblet pointing towards Ti'e'yong who was still sitting there with her head tucked into her chin as she blushed "to Ti'e'yong!" everyone proposed and sat down to eat their meal "about time" said Ti'e'yong and dig herself in.
After a fabulous meal and strawberry cheesecake desserts afterwards everyone was stuffed "my that has to be the best meal I'd have in days" said Rhen as she looked at her plate to only see some leftover crumbs "I'm glad you enjoyed it, now before we head out I think a rest is what Ti'e'yong needs, in fact I think all of us could use one" yawned Zan as he and everyone else got up and headed to their dorms as their golden selves cleared the place up, very soon everyone was now standing outside their dorms "so where will Ti'e'yong sleep?" asked Trivain as she knew she couldn't fit in their room "she'll have to sleep in Welton's room for today" answered Zan as he looked to see Welton nodding his head in agreement but then Ti'e'yong had over ideas "actually I wanted to sleep in your room, if that's ok with you?" suggested Ti'e'yong, Zan blushed as Rhen and Trivain spooked him and then quickly went in their dorm before Zan could say a word "well I guess one night couldn't hurt" shrugged Zan.
(Page54)
When Zan lead Ti'e'yong inside his room Ti'e'yong was stunned with what she'd saw, Zan's room was slightly bigger and much fancier than all the other dorms, to one side she saw a perfectly carved wardrobe with nice golden frames as well as the doorknob, to her right she saw a ordinary work desk with piles of old books on one side and a quill on the other side, and in front of her was what almost looked like a king sized bed only it was slightly smaller, the wooden frames and legs were dark brown and was smooth as steel, the quilt and pillow were very soft almost as if it was made out of a cloud, on it was nothing out of the ordinary just the same sun emblem on the quilt and pillow but also had a nice pattern around the edge, and finely above her was a clear glass window which showed to night sky outside "wow, I don't think I should even be here" regretted Ti'e'yong as he looked at Zan who walked over to his desk "nonsense, you must've hated it in that dimension, it's the least I can do" said Zan and picked up some books "what you going to do with those?" asked Ti'e'yong as he was carrying about ten books "what these? Oh I'm taking then back to the library, at least you can get changed while I'm away" answered Zan as he walked to the door and opened it with one wing and closed it on the way out, "oh no I forgot to bring a pair, what am I going to do?" worried Ti'e'yong as she didn't want to embarrass Zan, after a long thought she came up with something she ran to Zan's golden wardrobe and swung it open reveal Zan's robes, trousers and shirts, Ti'e'yong began to slide the hangers to one side hoping to find something and eventually she did, in a draw was a small pair of pyjamas suitable for a kid "I wonder why Zan kept a small pair of P.J's with him?" said a confused Ti'e'yong but before she could think for a few more seconds she heard Zan walking back towards their room, in a flash Ti'e'yong quickly changed into Zan's nightgown and shortly after Zan opened the door and looked with curiosity when he saw Ti'e'yong standing there with her hand like flowers behind her back and giving off a silly smile "well now, may I ask as to why you would rather wear my stuff rather than yours?" asked Zan as he raised an eyebrow "sorry Zan but I kind of forgot to pack a pair, I'm so sorry Zan" apologized Ti'e'yong as she bowed her head down at him "ah well then there no need, besides I think it might suit you, well for a child that is" replied Zan as Ti'e'yong looked at the yellow chequered nightgown and then noticed Zan in his nightgown, his gown was slightly the same as her one only a bit darker, "now then I think a good night sleep with what we need to let the past go" suggested Zan as he let Ti'e'yong shift into bed first and then himself shortly afterward, Zan had never shared his bed in ages so he kept a distance from Ti'e'yong who snuggled warmly under the blanket and then looked at Zan who was looking towards the window "what's wrong? Why are you hanging on the edge of your bed?" said a curious Ti'e'yong "oh it's nothing I just think you should have all the space, that's all" answered Zan as he turned his head away from the young Roserade, but after trying to go to sleep Ti'e'yong kept getting nightmares from that horrible dimension she was trapped in, she looked at Zan for a few seconds and then she slowly began to shift her way closer to him and then wrapped one of her arms round Zan "wha... Ti'e'yong what are you doing?" blushed Zan as he felt her warm flowers pressing against his chest but when he looked over his shoulder he saw Ti'e'yong snoozing peacefully, Zan smiled as Ti'e'yong cute little sleepy face was all that he saw and then laid his face on the pillow and shortly after he calmly fell asleep.
(Page55)
The next morning Zan had just woken up by the bright sunlight that shone through the window, he looked to his right to see Ti'e'yong snuggled right next to him "well now, are you going to wake up?" asked Zan as he softly shaken Ti'e'yong as she stretched her arms and opened her lovely red eyes "aww but I was having a wonderful dream" moaned Ti'e'yong as she tried not to get up "oh, well sorry about that, but even though this is still my room" said Zan and got out of bed and stretched himself into shape "now then, would you mind leaving for a second, I need to get changed" asked Zan as Ti'e'yong nodded her head and left his room as the door shut behind her, as she waited she noticed the far left door began to open as Rhen and Ti'e'yong exited their room and noticed Ti'e'yong standing in front of the door "morning Ti'e'yong, what you doing?" asked Rhen "oh it's nothing, just giving Zan some alone time" answered Ti'e'yong as she began to tilt her hips from side to side in a rocking motion with her arm behind her back which made Rhen swoon a little "well then, while he's in there I'll go check on Welton" said Trivain but before she could open the door Rhen got in her way "oh no you don't have to do that, allow me" suggested Rhen, but what Rhen didn't noticed that the door was already open and there stood Welton who was staring at Rhen's back "you mind letting me through?" asked Welton as he raised an eyebrow, Rhen jumped a little when she heard his voice and then turned around "oh god Welton, umm how long was you standing there?" asked Rhen but before he could answer the door on the right opened as Zan who was now in his robes walked out of his room "sorry to keep you waiting you may get change now, ahh morning everyone nice to see you up at a reasonable time" said Zan as he watch Ti'e'yong walked into Zan's room and shut the door behind him "so, how was it?" asked Rhen "how was what?" questioned Zan as he gave a puzzled look "how was your night with Ti'e'yong?" again asked Rhen giving more detail, Zan blushed and turned his back on them "nothing new" answered Zan as he pointed his head up "really now" tempted Trivain as she saw Zan quivered a bit "yes, really" Zan mumbled as the girls looked at him in a way that they really wanted to know "not any of that, you know embrace stuff, was she so scared that she used you as a plush toy?" asked Trivain in a spooky way, Zan turn round as his face was bright red for the first time "listen here now, we druids don't let this romance stuff get in our way, so if I were you I'd..." before Zan could finish he noticed his bedroom door open as Ti'e'yong who was back in her school uniform walked out the door only to see Zan whose face was still red "is something wrong?" asked Ti'e'yong as she looked up at him, Rhen and Trivain glared at Zan as he didn't want to say anything dramatic "ah it's nothing, just coming up with a fever somehow, now come on let's get breakfast ready" struggled Zan as he tried to keep the subject hidden "oh boy, I'm starving" said Ti'e'yong as she and Zan walked through to hallway as they disappeared from Rhen's sights, Welton then glared at the girls "you know, there is no way Ti'e'yong would ever love Zan, he far older then her" Welton pointed out as the girls looked at him "well unfortunately for you, you are almost old enough to get closer to either one of us" said Trivain which made Welton blush a little as he knew what Rhen would be thinking right now, "you're right Trivain, but sorry to say this but he's mine" said Rhen and then noticed Welton had made a quick escape to the dining room "that Gallade's charms get to you don't they" again said Trivain as she and Rhen quickly made their way to the dining room.
(Page56)
Everyone was now waiting for Rhen and Trivain to show up for breakfast and a little discussion that Zan wanted to say, "ah there you are, what kept you so long?" asked Zan as he saw Rhen and Trivain entered the dining room "we were just discussing a few things" said Rhen as she took her seat next to Welton as he just sat there ignoring her, Zan who was now back on his old chair raised his wings up and again released five golden spheres as they headed off to the cooking area and again out came their golden selves as they walked to the table with their breakfast held high "sadly it the same thing again" Zan mentioned as his and the other golden selves placed their plates on the table revealing the same breakfast they had last time, buttered toast with eggs and bacon "so this is what you had? It looks good" said Ti'e'yong as she watched her little golden self place her cutlery next to her and after a few seconds Ti'e'yong and the others began to eat, "so what was it that you wanted to discuss with us?" asked Welton as be took a bite out of the bacon "well it's about our task, since everyone is now here we can start looking for the gemstones and I for one know where one of them is" said Zan before he ate the last bit of his egg "really now, and where would it be?" asked Trivain "it's in the forest called Barksap just outside of the city of Forlore" answered Zan as he saw Rhen drop her cutlery when she heard what Zan had mentioned "did you say Forlore? I've wanted to go there ever since I was twelve" said Rhen as she thought as to how much she wanted to go there "we've got no time to dawdle in the city, we must retrieve the next gemstone before another one of Trifong's elite demons shows up" again Zan said as everyone had finished their meal, "aww do we have to? I would like to go there too" asked Ti'e'yong as she glared at Zan making him uneasy "uggh ok then, we'll go to Forlore for an hour or so, but that's it" mumbled Zan as he and everyone's golden selves picked up their plates and walked out of the dining room "well are we all ready" moaned Zan as everyone got up and followed Zan outside the temple.
As everyone stood outside Rhen began to wonder how they would travel to the west coast "well we can't do it our way, the boat we rented had been returned" mentioned Rhen as everyone began to think except for Trivain, Trivain reached into her pocket and pulled out the wooden flute and began to play which made everyone look with curiosity while Ti'e'yong began to build up with excitement "what are you doing?" asked Welton as Ti'e'yong leaned side to side in sync with the music and very shortly they all looked up to see Fu-Fu descending down at them when Trivain had finished playing "aww Fu-Fu it's great to see your furry face again" said Ti'e'yong with glee as she went up to stroke the Manectric's fur "everyone, this is my pet Fu-Fu and he will be your means of travel" Trivain introduced them, "you sure he'll be able to carry all five of use?" questioned Rhen "of course he will, now come on, hop on board" answered Trivain as everyone slowly mounted Fu-Fu with Trivain at the front, Ti'e'yong in the middle and Rhen and Welton sitting at the back, then Trivain noticed Zan just standing there behind them "what's wrong, aren't you coming?" asked Ti'e'yong "oh no I'm just going to fly right by your side" said Zan and planted his wings on the ground as a beam of light in each wing lifted him into the air "nice, well ok were off" said Trivain as tapped Fu-Fu as he began to flap his wing and eventually lifted off the ground "Forlore here we come" said Rhen as everyone headed out to the west coast.
(Page57)
Over back at the other dimension Trifong was sitting down on his throne board out of his mind when suddenly the large doors opened revealing Hendra behind it, "well, what happened, did Tangwon succeed?" asked Trifong as he lifted his head off of his hand as Hendra walked down the purple carpet towards his throne "forgive me master, but somehow they defeated him and obtained the opal of sins" explained Hendra, Trifong lifted himself off his throne and fixed his eyes on Hendra "now how can you let something like that happen! You do realise now that they are able to beat me if they defeated Tangwon!" bellowed Trifong as Hendra immediately got on his knees "but sire, they didn't beat him by combat" said Hendra hoping it would calm him down "oh really, so tell me how did Tangwon's defeat came to be?" again asked Trifong "well you see I heard that little Roserade Ti'e'yong sacrificed herself as she took Tangwon into the sealed dimension" again explained Hendra as Trifong nodded his head to what he was saying "I see, so Ti'e'yong's dead I presume?" wondered Trifong, Hendra lowered his head as he didn't want to tell him the rest "what's the matter? Is there something you still haven't told me? If so then hurry up and tell me!" shouted Trifong which made Hendra come right out with it "well after that, Rhen and Trivain went out to save her from your sealed dimension, and sadly they did, please you must understand I'm trying my very best to get rid of them" Hendra pleaded for forgiveness, Hendra looked in fear when he saw Trifong clenched his claws as he reached his boiling point "I trust you to lead my demon Pokémon's to victory, and all I get in return is your bad news! I shall not forgive you Hendra if you so much as lose my other demon Pokémon's including my sister then I will kill you!" Shouted Trifong as his voice boomed across the throne room "but master please listen, don't forget Zan is with them, he can just finish the job and end our crises" mentioned Hendra as he got down on his claws and knees and bowed at him several times, "humph, that lying sun druid, looks to me he turning on their side" shrugged Trifong as he summoned his staff with the eye and pointed it right in front of Hendra's face "look here, tell me what you see!" ordered Trifong as Hendra lifted his head and looked deeply into the eye which revealed a scene of the whole group flying towards the west coast "why that no good, he betrayed us, that fiend!" said an angry Hendra as the vision from the eye vanished along with the whole staff "I'm going to give you one final chance, if you fail then you are no longer with us" warned Trifong as he looked down at him as Hendra lifted himself up "I promise I'll won't let you down, I've got a plan which will surly work, and if it fails I could always raid a certain someone's village" promised Hendra giving his master a wicked smile "I'll only be amused one you succeeded, now go!" ordered Trifong "yes my lord" replied Hendra and dashed out the throne room, Trifong went back to his throne and sat down when he noticed a shadowy figure next to him "is something bothering you brother?" said a feminine voice "that's none of your concern, is the project ready sister?" asked Trifong as he looked toward his shadowy sister "we still need more time, maybe if you be so kind and send us more troops then we'll be able to accomplish it" answered Trifong's sister "then you shall have more troops, this better be done before Hendra fails me" said Trifong acting a bit moody "don't you worry brother, we'll should have it done within three working day" said Trifong's sister "ok then, I expect your return then" again said Trifong as his sister bowed down at him and left the throne room leaving Trifong alone to think.
(Page58)
Back out at sea Rhen and Trivain was still on route towards the west coast, it had been half an hour until they finely reached the west coast "ah what a relief, I would've got a tan if we didn't get there fast enough" said Rhen as she swept her sweaty forehead, Trivain instructed Fu-Fu to land by pointing at the beach nearby and without hesitation Fu-Fu descended down and landed on the rough sand "well that was so much fun, I'd forgot how fun it was the first time" said Ti'e'yong as Trivain helped her down and watched Zan flouted down with golden beams of light still emitting from his wings and then disabled it once his feet touched the ground "where can I learn something like that? I'd rather use that rather than riding at the back of a corrupted Pokémon" asked Welton as Zan straighten out his robes "in time you'll know, now are we all set to go to Barksap?" asked Zan "hay not so fast, you said we can go to Forlore" interrupted Rhen as she folded her arms while glaring at the Xatu druid "ok we'll make our way there then, but only for a little while god knows what Trifong is planning" sighed Zan, with everyone ready Trivain let Ti'e'yong say goodbye to Fu-Fu as it then took off into the sky to go about doing its own things, "ok let's hurry, I want to see if there are any good stuff around here" said Rhen as she was getting excited "I heard they built a church not so long ago" mention Trivain as they all began to walk down a beaten stone path "really now" smirked Rhen as she looked behind her to see the Gallade looking down at the stone path while walking close behind them, Ti'e'yong looked over at Zan when she heard what Trivain had said but then shook her head side to side trying to forget what she was thinking "is something wrong?" asked Zan from the back of the line "oh no its nothing" answered Ti'e'yong.
After a long walk they were now standing in front of Forlore's main gates, the gate towered over them with its old brown doors, on each side were watchtowers with a single silver guard watching out from it, they all looked to each side only to see a white stone wall stretching from miles away, everyone began to walk up to the gate until they were halted by two guards shaped as a Lucario standing at each side of the door "speak your presents" demanded one of the Lucario guards, Rhen and the others looked at each other when Zan shoved them out of the way "it's just me Zan and some new friends of mine who wish to enter the premises" replied Zan "ah well it's good to see you friend, please come this way" again said the Lucario guard and issued a command from behind the door, Rhen and the others watched as the huge wooden doors slowly opened to reveal a crowded town filled with stands and many other markets "were going to be stuck here for a long time" Welton said to himself when all of a sudden Rhen grabbed his hand "come on Welton, I know a good place where we can find some good clothing for you" said Rhen with glee and tugged him as she and Trivain disappeared from the crowd, Zan just stood there until he noticed Ti'e'yong standing right next to him "aren't you going with them?" asked Zan looking down at her "oh no, I don't think I'll find anything interesting from where Rhen and Trivain are going, I'll go wherever you want to go" answered Ti'e'yong as she decided to hold Zan's wing "well now that I'm here I may as well pay a visit to a good friend of mine, I haven't seen him in months" said Zan "well than let's get going, also I want something to eat afterwards" said Ti'e'yong "ok we'll see what we can find" laughed Zan as he tightly held Ti'e'yong's hand like flowers so she wouldn't get separated and then blended with the crowd.
(Page59)
As Zan and Ti'e'yong continued moving through the crowd they admired the houses as they went along, "this place sure has changed since the last time I've been here" Zan said as he looked at the new Victorian houses all around him until Ti'e'yong spotted a corner shop nearby "hay what do you think that might be?" asked Ti'e'yong pointing to a odd looking shop, Zan stopped and looked at the sign above it which surprised him "I know that symbol, we'll take a quick detour in here" suggested Zan and held Ti'e'yong's flowers as they brushed past the oncoming crowd towards the shop, inside was very dark but yet was dimly lit by several blue and white candles which were scattered all over the place, strange decorations were hanging above the ceiling and right in front of them was a round table with a crystal ball at the centre with three empty chairs, two were plain on their side and on the other side was a bit like a throne "what is this place?" wondered Ti'e'yong as she moved closer to Zan "this looks like a fortune telling room, to bad I don't believe in such stuff" answered Zan as he looked at Ti'e'yong who was looking at the crystal ball "well that's what you think, but I think it's real" said Ti'e'yong, after looking around Zan began to wonder who lived here "hello? Is anyone here?!" Zan called out and soon there was an answer "take a seat my child, I'll be with you shortly" said a feminine voice, Zan and Ti'e'yong did as they were told and taken their seats in front of the round table, then from beyond the table they heard footsteps as it got closer and shortly after the beads dangling from the door moved to one side revealing none other than the Jane, "Jane? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be over at your temple in the Isle of dreams?" asked a surprised Zan when he looked at the Bellossom still wearing her white dream robes "shhh, I'm disguising myself so Trifong's assistant can't find me" worried Jane as she looked out the window only to see loads of Pokémon walking about outside "oh that, well you're lucky to be alive" said Zan as Jane sat down on her chair facing towards the pair "I don't know what brings you here, but since your here Zan I'm pleased to inform you that thing around here are completely normal" Jane pointed out "ah well that's good news, I also like to tell you that so far we've gathered three gemstones right now" replied Zan as he saw Jane smiling at them "indeed that is wonderful news, so where are the others?" asked Jane "Rhen has taken some of her friend somewhere, we're only going to be here for a while and then were off to Barksap" answered Zan "well just be careful, who knows if one of Trifong's elite demon Pokémon resides in their" warned Jane, after their long conversation Jane soon noticed Ti'e'yong almost half asleep "dear me, did I bore you child?" asked Jane "oh no, I just thought that this was a fortune telling room, not some social club for druids" answered Ti'e'yong "oh sorry child, it's just that me and Zan are very close to one another, but let's put that aside since you are here for your fortune am I right?" again asked Jane "yes please" answered Ti'e'yong as Jane began to move her hands round the crystal ball as it began to fill up with smoke and then a vision came to her "I see it, I see you standing alone in the darkness searching for someone, you look only to see nothing, but from there a remarkable glowing light shall point you to your sole purpose, that is all" Jane read out to them as Ti'e'yong became a tad confused "in time you'll see it in your own eyes child" again said Jane as Ti'e'yong and Zan got up from their chairs "I shall let you go free of charge since you're here Zan" again said Jane "well that very kind of you Jane, now take care" replied Zan as they both left.

Once outside Zan and Ti'e'yong waved goodbye to Jane as they began to set a course to where Zan previously wanted to go and after a short walk they finely made it "well here we are" said Zan as Ti'e'yong looked up to see a huge white castle in a shape of a stronghold "this is where you wanted to go? I don't think we'll be allowed inside" wondered Ti'e'yong as she noticed two golden armoured shiny Lucario guards standing by the gate on the opposite side of a bridge "oh I'm sure they'll let us in" again said Zan and took Ti'e'yong over the bridge which was above a moat and were now approaching the gate "halt" said one of the shiny Lucario guards as Zan and Ti'e'yong stopped in front of them "no one is allowed in without the kings permission, turn back now unless otherwise" suggested the other shiny Lucario guard "oh I do beg your pardon, I guess I Zan and my friend here will turn back now" suggested Zan and was about to walk away with Ti'e'yong until, "wait, forgive our rudeness Zan, you have our thanks for helping us in that war ages ago, the lest we can do is let you go see the king" apologised the shiny Lucario guard as Zan peered over his shoulder "why that very generous of you" said Zan as the two shiny Lucario guards pushed the large wooden door open as Zan and Ti'e'yong walked inside followed by two other shiny Lucario guards who were waiting inside "please follow us my friend, the king is this way" said the shiny Lucario guard and escorted Zan and Ti'e'yong to the kings throne room.
Soon the guards, Zan and Ti'e'yong were now walking down the red carpet through a long hallway "this sure is a big place" wondered Ti'e'yong as she looked around the empty hallway until they stopped in front of an enormous white door which reached up to the roof "we shall leave you in the kings hand, please pay respect to him" mentioned one of the shiny Lucario guards as he and his partner went over and opened a small hidden door and let Zan and Ti'e'yong inside, once they entered the throne room the door closed behind them and they then began to walk down a large hall big enough to fit a plane in, once they approached the steps to the throne Zan looked to see the king sitting down on his throne like a regular king, he turned out to be a Ursaring who wore glamorous golden armour dawned with a red cape, he had a brown beard which slight covered the front of his neck and finely a elegant gold crown encrusted with emerald was sitting on top of his head "my lord it is I Zan, one of the surviving druids who lasted in your war against Trifong" Zan introduced himself as he bowed down at him while the king looked at him "ah Zan, my how you grow, I must thank you and your fellow druids back there in those dreaded times, if it hadn't been for you the coast would surely have fallen under his rule" said the king as he got up showing a sword case hanging by his left leg "with all due respect my lord, that was only a taste of what's yet to come, you see Trifong is seeking the seven gemstones so he can once again wage war" informed Zan as he got back up "ah I see well than I can only hope that you won't let me down" again said the king but before Zan could say anything else the door opened revealing the golden shiny Lucario guard "forgive me my lord, but we need you in the prison chambers for a second, we captured a few shoplifters!" shouted the shiny Lucario guard from across the room "I'm on my way, why don't you and your friend come with me?" asked the king, Zan and Ti'e'yong nodded in agreement and were soon on their way to the prison chambers, after a short walk they reached the prison chambers and without further ado the guard pointed to a cell as Zan and Ti'e'yong looked in shock to see a Gardevoir, Gallade and Absol standing right in front of the bars "what going on here?" worried Ti'e'yong since she knew who it was.
