At the end of the week everyone was both exhausted and excited. It looked as it nobody had slept all week. Everyone danced in their spots as we said our mottos, waiting impatiently for Chatot to call out the names.

Finally Chatot produced a paper from the Guildmaster. One by one he read off the names. He took a long pause by the end of it. "Guildmaster, you do realize you have just written everyones names down, right?"

Wigglytuff nodded.

"But what about our guild? We can't leave it unprotected!"

"We'll lock up. It'll be a lot more fun if everyone can join in!"

Chatot sighed and rubbed his head, trying to clear whatever headache he had. "Alright fine."

Wigglytuff made sure everything was securely locked and, as one huge group, we set off following Chatot's lead into a foggy forest. Everyone started to set up their tents at the base of a mountain except me and Pip.

Something in the back of my mind and heart tugged at this place. I could see myself walking through it but it all seemed like some distant and far off memory. I could tell a ghost of me walked through these mountains once but I couldn't recall the memory easily. It simply kept nudging and tugging and bugging me like a fly.

Pip looked at me. "Lets go sneak off ahead. I bet we'll find Fogbound Lake before anyone else." He looked too excited, like a little kid at Christmas.

I laughed. "Okay lets go." Pip took off ahead on a trail. I followed behind him, not able to keep up with him until he stopped to pick up a red gem. It glowed when he touched it.

"Feels warm." He said happily and stuffed it in my bag. He, again, took off ahead of me. Any treasure we found he picked up and stuffed it in the bag with a bunch of other items I packed for the trip.

By midday we came to the middle of some oddly falling waterfalls. It didn't appear to be supported by a cliff like most waterfalls. The waterfalls simply tumbled and fell from midair, feeding the lakes below them, which flowed into all sorts of directions going who knows where. In the middle of all of this was a Groudon statue, half tumbled over, and in his chest was a hole big enough to fit a medium sized gem.

That tugging feeling was back and very strong. Something about this place got my heart to race with excitement and anticipation.

Pip looked at the statue. "So, according to these ruins you have to ignite Groudon's life…" He looked at me and grinned. "Hey I know it's a long shot but do you wanna…you know give your ability a try?"

I nodded and touched the statue. My hands were shaking from that anticipation. Something about this place spoke to me still.

I breathed deeply and closed my eyes. I let the dizzy spell wash over me like a wave.

"Well here's this stone…Okay so put it here? Haha! You've figured it out! The fog has lifted. Very good job, partner. Well done."

I opened my eyes. My palms were sweating but the shaking was gone.

"Well done…" I heard the voice, familiar yet strange, echo through my mind.

"I've been here before…I must have." I whispered.

"What is it, Ash?" Pip tilted his head.

"I think I've been here before." I finally admitted.

Pip thought about something then spoke slowly, "Well they do say there's a Pokémon that has the ability to take away people's memories. His name is Uxie. We can ask if we find him. Did you see anything, though?"

I nodded. "That stone you found, Pip." I produced it from the bag and handed it to him. "Put it in the Groudon statue.

Pip nodded. "Okay…. Did you see something?"

"I heard something. Just do it, please." I watched the fog around us as Pip pushed in the stone. The fog lifted and I couldn't help but laugh at the waterfall's origin. It came from above us!

"Fogbound Lake is up there!" I pointed upward. Despite hearing Skuntank calling for us to stop Pip and I sprinted into a cave and followed it upward.

It felt like hours before we finally reached the top. Something near the lake roared but Pip didn't seem to hear the roar of danger he just sprinted forward until Groudon appeared.

I got into a fighting position while Pip hid behind me.

"Intruders! Turn back before I destroy you!" Groudon warned.

"We just want to see the lake. Please let us pass." Pip squeaked from behind me.

Groudon roared and charged. Quickly we jumped out of his way. He prepared an attack. "So be it. You have chosen your fate." He unleashed a fiery attack on Pip. I got in his way, preparing myself for the full brunt of the attack. All I could do to prepare was close my eyes.
