In the Hoenn region near of Lillycove City walked a medium size trainer with black gloves, a pair of blue and black cargo pants and a black hooded jumper with the hood up shadowing the eyes towards the town with a Houndoom by his side.

As he and his Pokémon by the town entrance he asked his Pokémon: "Wanna to visit the Pokémon Center first and then the art museum or should we go directly there?"

His Pokémon thought for a second and signaled him to went to the museum directly.

"Ok! Let's have our fun!" And they walked to the art museum of Lillycove City.

Meanwhile outside of Lillycove a ship nears the ports of the town. By the front of the ship a trainer about 1,80 meters high with white cargo pants, a white T-shirt with a dragon on it, black running shoes with red stripes, a black vest, a white panama hat on his head shadowing his left eye a little, blue glasses and a red site back looks at the town. On his side was an Absol with a blue scarf around the neck.

"It's been a while since we was here, huh?" Asked the trainer to his Pokémon. His Absol nodded towards him and his trainer continued: "I wonder me where I could find him… if he just in Lillycove perhaps I know where we should search him…"

His Absol didn't say something and looks only to the town. It was true that they were not here for a while… and had their fun here…

"Come on let's get ready!" Said the trainer and walked off. His Pokémon looked for a last time to the town and followed him.

Later in the art museum was the trainer with his Houndoom still busy to look at the arts in the museum. They were impressed about the arts in the museum as they suddenly heard somebody says: "Why I am not surprised that I find you here Iain?"

The trainer turned around and spotted the trainer with his Absol. He recognizes the trainer instantly: "David! That is great to see you!"

"Not so loud! It was hard enough to get here without everybody recognize me!" smiled David as they gave each other a friendly hug. Iain turned to the Absol and asked: "Hi Abi! How do you do?"

Abi just shrugged but didn't say something. Since Iain know this Absol it never said something… and found it strange. He returned his view to his friend and asked: "What do you do here and where do you was in the last two years? I hardly heard something about you! You only showed up if it was needed but not more!"

"I worked in a little project Iain… but now I need you help in it…"

"What is this project?"

"Can I explain it to you when we are in the place?"

"And where is it?"

"In Johto deep inside the Mt. Silver… I have two tickets to get there… I hope you will come with me to listen to my project… after I explained everything to you I hope you are willing to help me…"

Iain thought about it. It was a while ago since they did something together and the last time they had really fun… he looked at his Houndoom and it nodded towards Iain and smiled at Abi which only looked away showing not any interest at Houndoom.

"Ok! I come with you!"

"That is great! Come on! The ship will leave soon!"
