Zed woke up. It was bright outside this time. Next to him was Umbreon. Zed smiled that the small Eeveelution had stayed with went to check on his younger sister, Raina, and her Leafeon. They were still sleeping. He then decided to go back to the Johto region. He woke Umbreon, telling him to be quiet, and wrote a note. He and Umbreon then went on their way.
Along the way, they stopped at the docks. Zed ordered a ticket and proceeded to enter the boat to Johto. He had fun with Umbreon pointing out the various landmarks throughout the trip. Neither of them saw the robed figure that had followed them...
A few hours later, they arrived at Goldenrod City. Zed, never having seen it before except from occasional calls from Zycron, was surprised at how big it was. The robed figure followed them, then stumbled and fell, crying out. Zed, surprised, turned to see Raina and Leafeon struggling to get out of the robes.
"What are you doing here Raina?" Zed asked his younger sister.
"Leafeon told me too, Zed, and you cant do anything about it!" she replied in a childish manner.
"Umbreon, did you know of this?" Zed asked his partner.
I didn't know either, Zed. was the reply.
A few minutes later, Zed and Raina, along with Leafeon and Umbreon, finished putting the robes away. Raina had told Zed that she woke up to the door opening, and after she saw Zed leaving, got dressed in a hurry to follow him. Zed dreaded to bring his six year old sister with him to the big city, but he decided that they should go to Zycron's apartment there. Raina didn't know that she was supposed to not be there, but she had insisted on staying with Zed in this unfamiliar city. They reached Zycron's apartment to find it empty. Zed noticed the XTransceiver was not on the charging port, so he called Zycron and explained the situation. Zycron just laughed and said "You guys can stay there all you want. I'll tell Mom that you are okay. Just don't let Raina know that she's not our real mom, but rather a stepmom that she has known since she was born."
"Okay, Zycron, I will uphold our promise to dad. And i will take care of her. see you soon."
"See you soon, my brother."
