A Message from the boss:

Get ready everyone. This is one of the biggest chapters in both words and meaning to the story.

This might be my favorite chapter I've made so far.

You all are going to love this.


Arc One: Mystery

Chapter Thirteen: It's Not Right


I feel a splash of warm water slap me in the face as I come to. I spit out any water that got into my mouth and shake my head to try and dry myself up.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! I thought the nightmare last night was rough. That second one was on another level. It was so scary, so weird, so...out of nowhere. What did that even mean? I pull on my ears. I'm never going to have normal dreams again, aren't I?

"Red, wake up." I hear Lucas say behind me. "We're leaving now."

I look in front of me and see a mad Luxray coming out of the water. "Melody, you were supposed to protect me. Now I'm all wet."

"Sorry, but there are four kids. It's hard to keep them all in check. It was only a matter of time before they got you." She says to Bolt as he gets out of the water.

I would be mad because I didn't want to get splashed at and I was, but one, Bolt looks like a big, black ball of fur and I love it, and two, after that nightmare...I'm just happy I wasn't there for another second. Things were so nice with the first dream, why did it all go south?

WAIT! That first dream. I close my eyes and try to remember it. It had so many things in it. I can find out more about me, who that person I was talking to was. I can remember something.

...

...

...

No...no, NOOOOOOO! The longer I sit in the hot spring, the clearer everything becomes, or the foggier it gets I should say, because I forgot a lot of things about that dream. I can still remember the voices. I was definitely there, and that other voice...that voice was in my first dream, right? I think about it a little more.

"It's ok, don't worry, I'll help you, and in turn, you can help me."

"That was not fair, I wasn't looking."

Yep, those two lines had to come from the same person, but who was she? She was a friend, I know that...but that's it. I pull my ears even harder. If only I could remember what she looked like. That should have been the easy part. But the location...it was a hot spring, wasn't it. But I was never here before in my life, not to mention I believe I was a human in that dream. It had to be somewhere else, right?

This is my life from now on, huh. I get so close to remembering something, only for it to be taken away at the last second.

"HEY!" I jump out of the water as I hear someone yell. I turn around and see Bolt...who is looking all puffy. "First off, don't laugh. Second, we're leaving, so come on." Bolt says and storms off to Melody. She tosses him a towel as I hear the kids chuckling. I do too when I see that Bolt isn't looking. As long as he doesn't know, I'm good.

"You ok?" Lucas says. I turn around as he finishes. "You were staring out into space for a while."

I brush him off again. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just...really liked that hot spring." I smile and walk away over to the Larpas, but I have a feeling that I didn't fool the Rilo.

"All right kids, we are going to go back to Seashell Town. I hope you had a lot of fun." She says to all four kids.

"We sure did!" They all say and start to walk down the path, but Melody cuts in front of them.

"Before we go though." She turns to the Oshawott. "Owen, I'd like you to say sorry to Bolt."

Owen looks over to the Luxray, who is trying to dry himself off. He takes a deep breath and says, "S-sorry." The Luxray turns his head over to Owen, almost causing him to faint.

"Please don't do that again. Now I'm all poofy, and still a little wet." He says in a little angry tone. The Oshawott takes a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Owen. Now we can make our way back to town." Melody says with a smile. The eight of us then start to make our way down the dirt path. I turn and look at Lucas. He still is looking at me funny. I start to worry. I don't think I can keep this secret much longer. Sure enough, after only a couple of steps, me and Lucas are behind the others, and Lucas uses that time to strike.

"You're not fooling me this time, Red. I know something is wrong with you." He says as he points to his "bags". "I can sense emotions, and your's is troubled. Very troubled." Sweat starts to form on my forehead as he continues. Is it really that-wait, of course it is.

"Ever since we got up today, your aura was much more active then regular. I tried to ignore it, but we're a team, and we should help each other out. Don't worry, I'll understand what's on your mind."

I take a breath. Well, there's no way I'm getting out of this one. *Sigh* Here I go.

"I've...I've been having...weird dreams." Lucas raises an eyebrow. "Really? What kind of weird dreams?" I look ahead of me to make sure that everyone else isn't listening to us. Melody is moving along while all the kids are petting Bolt as if he's someone's pet. I think we're good.

"Last night, I had a dream that I was in the middle of nowhere. It was just a large, empty, rocky plain. I then heard something roar in the distance multiple times. On one of the roars the ground broke below me and I fell. I woke up before I landed in a pit of spikes."

Lucas tries not to make any noise, but his face is very surprised. "That would explain why you're so tired today. I guess something like that would freak me out too...and keep me up all night."

I nod. "Yeah, that did keep me up for a while. But that wasn't even the last one. I had two more at the hot springs. The second one...I think may have been a memory."

This time Lucas lets out a small yelp of joy before putting his paws over his mouth. Thankfully, the kids are so active that no one notices us. Lucas then turns to me with sparkling eyes. "That's so cool! What did you see?"

I shrug my shoulders. "That's the problem. I barly remember it. It's like fate is teasing me. The only thing I remember is that I was talking to someone."

"Ok, but do you know who it was?" He asks.

I sigh. "All I know is that it was a she. That's it. I don't even remember what she looked like, only her voice."

"So what about the third one?"

I shake a little as I remember it. "The third one was worse then the first. It was at the same hot springs...I think, but it was all empty and looked all ruined. When I looked in the water, I saw myself, except it was all black and any red on it was dripping like blood." It sends shivers down Lucas' spine as I finish. If he thinks that bad, oh, just you wait.

"When I realized what it was, it came to life and dragged me in the water. I tried to fight him but it was like he tied me up. Then the water started to burn me as he whispered something creepy. I don't remember what it said, but then he used Flare Blitz against me, and then I woke up."

Lucas stares at me, and says nothing. He's probably out of words. I wonder what he thinks about all three of my dreams. After what feels like an hour, he finally speaks.

"Well...heh heh...now I know why you didn't want to tell me. That sure is crazy. You're not some kind of monster, are you?"

"Of course not, why would I be one?" I say, laughing. Thankfully Lucas takes the bait and laughs with me. As long as he believes I'm fine, I should be good.

He holds out his hand and says, "While that was...something alright, don't be afraid to tell me about stuff like that. We're friends, and I'm happy to help friends out, even if it's something really strange like that." I smile and shake his hand. I'll take that over keeping secrets...well, except for you know.

"Hey, let's catch up to everyone. Bolt may want some help getting the kids to stop petting him." I nod and we both run ahead to meet up with everyone.

Bolt is more than happy to see us. "Where were you two? Can't you see that I need some-Ow! Don't pull my ears please."

"Sorry, that was an accident." I hear Alpha say as he carefully moves away from the Luxray's face.

I then get an idea on how to help Bolt. "Hey, don't you kids want to see Lucas make an Aura Sphere?"

All the kids' ears perk up when they hear me. "REALLY!" Owen says. "You can use Aura Sphere!?"

Lucas starts to sweat. "Maybe, but you'll have to get off Bolt first if you want to see it (hopefully)."

Bolt and I smile. My plan works as three of the four kids get off the Gleam Eyes Pokemon, much to his relief. They gather around the Rilo as he takes deep breaths, preparing himself. I look at the Luxray to see that Neptune hasn't moved, as he's just staring out into the trees on the outside of the path. Bolt notices the Piplup as well. "Umm, hey, don't you want to get off and see that Aura Sphere?"

The Piplup doesn't respond. I look at him and wave my hand in front of him. The look on his face says that he's seeing something incredible. I look to where he's looking and I see it. In the distance, there is something black that's glowing and running around. Soon, everyone is looking at the thing, trying to figure out what it is.

"Lucas, try and sense that thing." I say to him.

"Good idea." He says as he focuses.

"That will not help you, Riolu." The voice sends chills down my spine as the thing gets closer. My instincts take over and, out of fear, I use Ember against the thing. Unfortunately, the Pokemon dodges it with ease as he jumps in the air. He jumps so high, in fact, that he goes over us.

When he lands, I finally see what Pokemon he is: It's mostly black, but it also has glowing neon color. It looks like a dog with a neon scarf around its neck that has a red spot on the front.

It's-it's...WHAT?!

I stand completly frozen as Bolt gets in front of Melody and starts to spark up. "Who are you? And what do you want with us?"

The Pokemon gets up in a non-threatening pose. "Relax, Luxray. I am not here to cause trouble. That is the last thing I wish to do."

All the kids are in awe, clearly not aware of any possible danger that they might be in. I'm still too shocked to do anything let alone SAY something.

Bolt is surprised. "H-h-how are you-"

"It's called telepathy. Being the watcher of the ecosystem and lord of aura, it's something I can do in my sleep."

Lucas then starts to wag his tail very hard. "Wait, a-are you a...a legendary?

The beast turns to the Rilo. "Yes...yes I am." The legend then howls so loud that I have to cover my ears. He then looks at us and says with his mind, "I am Zygarde, the Order Pokemon himself in the flesh."

All the kids start to freak out. I guess it's not everyday you see a legendary, let alone be right in front of it. Bolt, however, starts to chuckle. "Ha, you're not Zygarde. You're just a...black dog. My little brother has shown me pictures of what Zygarde is supposed to look like and you look nothing like him, except for the colors."

Before the Zygarde has a chance to do anything, I speak up.

"Bolt, that is the real Zygarde. He has five different forms: cell, core, ten percent, fifty percent, and complete. This is his ten percent form."

Everyone looks at me and gives me a funny look. Huh, my guess is that no one knew that before.

Zygarde, however, is impressed. "Wow, I didn't expect someone like you to know that. You must have a great understanding of Pokemon if you can say that to a legendary with a straight face."

I'm flattered by his comment. "Uhh, thank you, Zygarde."

Bolt looks at me and says, "Have you been hanging out with my brother lately?"

His question, however, goes unanswered as the Zygarde speaks again. "Enough! I am here for a reason. It may come as a shock to you all, but that Raboot of your's...he has to come with me."

"WHAT!" Me and Lucas scream. He...HE CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

Bolt then starts to growl and cover himself with electricity. "On what grounds? We can't just let you take him without a reason."

"His aura." He starts. "It's not right." My heart sinks when he says this. Oh no, does he know that I'm a human? Wait, better not think that. If he can use telepathy, he should be able to read minds as well.

Lucas, thankfully, steps in. "What are you talking about? His aura is fine, and I can sense it."

Zygarde growls. "That's because you're a weak Riolu. And no, you can't sense aura, and you know that."

Oof! I don't think Lucas liked that comment very much. He holds back tears as he says, "I'm not weak! Red is perfectly fine! Y-...YOU'RE WRONG!" A little louder than he had to. Zygarde stares at him and looks him dead in the eye.

Lucas...what did you just do?

"Well, if you're so strong, then make an Aura Sphere."

"A what?!" Lucas says shockingly.

"You heard me right. If you say you're so strong, then make an Aura Sphere. A strong user of aura should at least be able to make a small ball of aura." The Zygarde says with a growl.

Lucas doesn't do anything for a while, but soon he shakes his head. "Ok, I'll make one, but you have to make one too-"

He is cut off by the Zygarde who has an Aura Sphere hanging above his head. He...he...Zygarde can't use Aura Sphere. There's no way he's doing this. I may have lost my memory, but my knowledge of Pokemon is still top-notch. I know for a fact he shouldn't be able to do that.

I then hear Lucas growl. "Just you watch. I'll make one. In fact, I'll make one bigger than yours." The Rilo then puts his arms in front of him and starts to growl even louder.

"Go on...do it." Zygarde tauntingly says to Lucas as he sits down. "Prove me wrong."

I see veins on Lucas' head as he tries even harder to make one. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Come on! Please!" We all look at him as he tries his best to make one, but after a while, not even a gleam of blue energy has appeared. "GAHHHHHHH!" Lucas screams, trying with all of his might. After he finishes, he falls to the ground.

I panic and run to him. "Lucas, are you ok?" Even though he was only reaching out his hands, he looks like he's out of breath. I hear the kids in the background whining because they didn't get the Aura Sphere that they wanted so badly.

"Hmff, just as I thought." Zygarde says. "Someone like you was never able to make one to begin with. You should never try to do things you know you cannot do. I hope you've learned your lesson."

"I...I..." Lucas says painting. "I can't make one. I'm...I'm sorry Red."

Zygarde then starts to walk toward us. "Now that you can see that you are flawed, please, give your friend to me. I promise I will do no harm to him as long as he stays in line."

Lucas then, struggling, gets up on his feet and spreads out his arms. "I'm sorry! But even if you are the real Zygarde, there's no way I'm letting you kidnap Red!"

"I won't call it "kidnap" but rather...a chat for a moment." That doesn't help at all, in fact, that made me feel worse.

Lucas then responds with, "Well, if it's just a chat, then why do you need to take him with you?"

"All I know about his aura is that it's off. If I was in my domain, then I could find out what is wrong with him without a single problem."

Lucas still doesn't back down. "That's the best you can come up with? Riddle me this, then. If you have to take him, then why don't you take us with you."

The Zygarde doesn't respond to Lucas, but instead turns to Bolt. "You, the Luxray. If I'm not mistaken, you're the leader of this party, are you not?"

Bolt nods and asks, "Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Please tell the Riolu to back off. The last thing I want to do is to cause a fight. It is only a simple check and if Red thinks he's ok, then he should come with me. He clearly knows who I am, so you have nothing to fear. If he's hiding something, then he won't want to go, and he clearly doesn't want to leave his friend's side. He knows, deep down, that I'm right."

Sweat begins to form as my heart starts to race. He won't...please don't.

The Luxray looks back at the kids, who still aren't grasping the tension that is bubbling. Maybe it's because Zygarde isn't using telepathy to speak with them. Bolt then looks at Melody, me and Lucas, and then Zygarde again.

I hold my breath as Bolt starts. "You are the Order Pokemon, controller of the ecosystem, right?"

The Zygarde nods and gets closer to me. "Yes, I'm glad that you understand this predicament." Before he can get any closer, a Thunderbolt goes right in front of him, causing him to take a couple steps back. Not that it would hurt him, but it did surprise him.

Bolt growls. "Who said I agreed with you? What you're asking for is very sketchy, and as leader of this party, I kindly ask you to leave us alone."

"You thought that would hit me. Please, you should know that-"

Bolt stomps his front paw on the ground. "I said leave us alone!" He demands.

The Zygarde looks firmly at the Luxray. "All right, fine. Have it your way." He then, to my surprise, runs back into the forest, never to be seen again.

Hmm, funny. When something like that happens, it regularly starts a fight. Guess that only happens in stories, or FANFICS *wink* *wink*.

All the kids start to wine again, wishing that the legendary Pokemon didn't leave so soon. The rest of us breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Bolt." Lucas says. "I thought you were going to listen to him."

Bolt turns around and smiles. "That guy was way too fishy to be trusted. Now let's head back to-"

A giant beam then appears out of the forest and hits Bolt right in the chest. "GAHHHHH!" He screams in pain as he takes a tumble.

"BOLT!" Melody screams as he slams into a tree. My ears then hear something dashing right at me. I jump in the air in the nick of time and see Zygarde right below me, just missing my feet.

He then turns around and jumps at me at high speeds while I'm airborne. They say ten percent can run at speeds greater then sixty mph, and I believe it. Right when he's only a few inches from me, he is hit by a Vaccum Wave. We both then fall to the ground, landing on all our feet.

He turns to the Rilo and says, "What you just did shall not go unpunished." He then makes an Aura Sphere and launches it at Lucas. He misses, though not by much. "Please, I do NOT wish to fight any of you. You are all innocent Pokemon, and if Red believes he's innocent, then he should come with me."

"He's never going with you. Please, just leave us alone." He cries out.

"I'm warning you, Riolu, you do not want to make a fool of yourself once more. Now please, give him to me before you reget it."

Lucas then starts to shake. I think he's really scared of what would happen if he says no. But on the other hand, saying yes isn't much better either. Is he really going to take a step up?

"I...I..." He looks back at me and then says with tears in his eyes, "I made a promise to help Red remember who he is. We're a team, we're friends, BEST FRIENDS, and I'm...I'm not letting you hurt him. I'm going to help him get all of his memories back, and I will never back down. I'm going to be with him for every step. You need to leave...now!"

Everyone gasps after Lucas finishes. Great, now that's out. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

The Zygarde growls. "You have choosen poorly. I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choose." He then opens his mouth and releases a beam that has a form of a dragon. Dragon Pulse.

It heads straight at me and Lucas, who closes his eyes. Suddenly, a glowing, golden wall appears in front of us and cancels the shot. I look to my side and see Melody with all the kids behind her, all of which are now scared. Zygarde gets even angrier. "I shall not harm the likes of you."

He then howls and soon the ground starts to shake. Earthquake, that's not good. Sure enough, the ground breaks apart. But the way it breaks is strange, as it ends on making a dome around us, caging us in and blocking Melody out. We then take steps back as Zygarde gets closer. "One...last...time. COME WITH ME, NOW!" He demands.

I'm too scared to respond. It's THE Zygarde, and he's trying to kidnap me. "ANSWER NOW!" He yells once again.

"Leave Team Adventure alone." I hear a voice call out. I then feel a shadow above me and look up. My jaw hits the ground as it's Bolt, who managed to jump the high, rock wall. He then releases a Thunderbolt and it hits Zygarde. He doesn't move at all as the Luxray lands on the ground.

If only he wasn't a Ground-Type.

"...Seriously, you tried to hit me using an Electric attack, please." He then dashes head first straight into Bolt. Both of them clash, but despite his greater size, Zygarde wins as he pushes Bolt off into the rockwall. "Stay out of this!" Zygarde says as he charges another Dragon Pulse.

I break out of my scared state and jump at the dog-like Pokemon and then use Double Kick. Thankfully, he didn't see me coming and I hit him right in his head, causing him to fire and miss Bolt. When I land on the ground, I notice that it doesn't look like I did a lot of damage, or any at all.

Dang it, Fighting-Type moves aren't good against him either.

"Please, is that all you got?" He then jumps back as Bolt gets up. He then starts to glow. "It's time to put you three in your places." Zygarde then roars at the top of his lungs. That roar...THAT'S THE SAME ONE FROM MY DREAM LAST NIGHT! That was him?! My dream warned me about him! Then, out of the blue sky, little beams of neon light appear and land on Zygarde.

Bolt and Lucas are confused by his attack. "What the heck is he doing?" Bolt says, grunting at the end.

"He's transforming." I say. "In order to get more powerful, he calls upon his cells. The more he has, the more powerful he becomes."

"OK, SERIOUSLY, HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS STUFF?! YOU SAID YOU LOST YOUR MEMORY!" Lucas says.

I pull my ears. "I DON'T KNOW! I HATE AMNESIA! All I know is that we can't beat him. He's a frecking legendary!"

Bolt growls. "Well, what else are we going to do, genius? Beg for mercy?!"

I think to myself. There doesn't seem to be any other way to do this. I then look at Lucas and see his bag.

Man, I always forget about the bag. Like it doesn't even exist. But it has all the things we need, like berries and... SEEDS, That's it!

"Lucas!" I scream. "Please tell me we have Warp Seeds with us."

"Alright, let me check." He says as he plops the bag down onto the ground and digs through it.

"If we can hit him with a seed, then we could warp him somewhere. We could then use that time to hurry to the town before he can catch up. He won't attack a village...hopefully." I say to Bolt and Lucas.

"Yeah, I found three of them." Lucas says, holding up three seeds in his paw.

Bolt thinks for a moment, then says, "That's...I'm fine with that. You two hold onto those, I'll try to paralyze him." As he starts to spark up again.

It's weird how Ground-Types can't get hurt by electric, yet they can get paralyzed. It's messed up.

"Enough!" We hear Zygarde say. We look at him and see that he's no longer a dog, but now looks more like a serpent wearing a hood on the back. Yep, he was in my dream last night.

I look at Lucas. "Hand me some and then let's go. On my signal, we'll throw them, got it?"

Bolt nods his head and Lucas says, "Got it. Let's go." As he gives me two seeds.

We then charge at the Order Pokemon and then split up. "This is foolishness. Stop what you're doing this instant!" Zygarde says.

"Never!" Lucas says as he fires a Vaccum Wave. Again, he's a Ground-Type, but at least it'll do some damage.

Wait, now that I think about, he has a type advantage over ALL three of us. I take a second to think about that. Huh, this is going to be a lot harder then I thought at first. THIS HAS TO BE THE WORSE COINCIDENCE OF MY LIFE!

Zygarde then roars and out from behind him comes many, many beams of light. Thousand Arrows, and they're coming right at us.

I dash over to the rockwall. Maybe if I make them hit the wall, it could end up breaking it. Sure enough, the arrows get so close to the wall that they hit it, but unfortunately, some of them manage to catch up to me, and I'm hit with what feels like tiny knives trying to cut into me. I also hear Bolt and Lucas scream in pain too. Zygarde then charges up another Dragon Pulse and fires it at Lucas.

"HELLO!" He screams as he goes in the air to dodge it. But Zygarde read him like a book, and soon, a vine then comes out of the ground and goes to strike him down, but Bolt uses Quick Attack to catch Lucas before he could land his hit.

"Thanks, Bolt." Lucas says to the Luxray.

"Thank me when this is all over!" He says as his tail turns into a silver whip. He then jumps at the giant serpent and slaps him with his tail.

"GAH!" Zygarde yells. "Why you little-TAKE THIS!" He then fires an Aura Sphere at the airborn Luxray, who is a sitting duck as he's hit by his attack and flys into the air, and then crashes down into the ground. Zygarde then charges a Dragon Pulse at Bolt. He's so caught up with Bolt, that he's forgot about Lucas and I.

"NOW!" I scream to Lucas. The both of us toss our seeds at Zygarde, who is still charging his beam. Got him now.

Two vine then shoot out of the ground and hit the seeds. They then turns white and disappear from sight. "You thought that trick would work on me? HA! TAKE THIS!" Zygarde laughs as he slams the ground with his other vine, causing the ground to shake even more. "TIME FOR YOU TO FEEL THE LAND'S WRATH!" In a second, a multitude of vines came out from the ground and wrapped around us, trapping us all. It's so tight that none of us can get out.

"This is what you get for messing with the Order Pokemon." He exclaims as he slams all the vines into each other and lastly, slams them all onto the ground. All I can say is it is super painful to be slammed and I close my eyes in pain.

I feel the vines coming off of me as I barly open up my eyes. I see Lucas with spirals on his eyes and Bolt is on his side facing the other way. "Now then." Zygarde says. "You're coming with me, Raboot."

A vine then appears out of the ground and tries to grab me. I manage to get enough strength to roll out of the way, but on his second try, he gets me. I'm then squeezed so tight that I can't move my arms. I carefully try not to break the last seed in my hand, or else it's game over. I could use it to escape, but there's no way I'm leaving Bolt and Lucas here alone.

"Please, Zygarde, let me go." I say, almost crying. "I never did anything wrong. I'd never do anything wrong. I just want to remember who I am."

"Do you not know? You could be the reason behind the Mystery Dungeons. Your existence could be destorying this entire world." He then looks at me. "Or maybe, you do know, but just want to watch this world die."

My eyes widen after he says that. No! That's not true! I'm a good guy. I'd never want to destory this world. This...can't...be...because of me.

"That can't be true!" I scream crying. "I love this world. I love my friends. Never in a million years would I ever hurt them! You're wrong! It's not my fault!"

"You're friend said that you forgot about your past. You may be a monster, yet you don't even know it." He says. Monster...that's what Lucas said too. He was only joking but...was he somehow right? My mind breaks down. He can't be right.

"Now then, you're coming with-GAHH! What the-GAH!" I see bolts of electricity run up his body, he then weakens his grip on me and I manage to wiggle out of it.

I then see Bolt, looking very banged up but somehow still standing, with something blue around his mouth. "DO IT NOW!" He screams at me.

I nod and go to throw my seed when something inside me tells me to stop. Suddenly, a large vine comes out of the ground. If I had thrown it, it would have hit the vine. Who was that? Was that-

I then hear the wall to my side break open with four beams of water and one giant beam of cold air coming straight at us. I drop to the ground and the beams just miss me, but they do end up hitting Zygarde. He roars in pain as the water freezes on him, trapping his lower body in a block of ice. I see this as my chance and toss my seed at him. Success, as it hits his ice block and he body turns white.

"I'll be-" He manages to say before he turns into a beam of white light that shoots into the air. I then dash the Lucas and take off his bag and run though it. Most of the thing are all busted in it, so it's hard to find what I'm searching for.

"Come on." I say. "Where's a Reviver Seed? There has the be one in here!" I then finally find one and put it in Lucas' mouth as Bolt walks over to me.

"Find one?" He asks. A bright light then covers Lucas for a second. When it disappears, the Rilo starts to move.

"Sure did, but it was only a Tiny Reviver Seed. Most of the things in here are totaled." I say as I show him the bag, with the strap broken around it. I then ask, "How did you not faint?"

He then licks his mouth. "Sparks said that I should always keep an Oran Berry or two in my mane in case we don't have a bag. I had one while he was focused on you."

"You...keep berries in your...mane?" I hear Lucas weakly say as he slowly gets up.

Bolt then says, "Don't think of it that way, it's not like I leave them in there for that long, but there have been times where I did get berry juice all over my fur from breaking them." He then chuckles and turns to the Lapras and the kids as they come toward us. "I was wondering how long it would take you to break a part of the wall."

Melody smiles. "It was tough, but all four kids were a huge help. Now we might want to head back to the town before he comes back. I doubt he'd want to attack a whole village just for one Pokemon."

"And while we're on our way, Red?" Bolt says. "Do you want to tell us about something?"

I gulp. Right, I forgot about that little detail. This is going to be a long day.

"Ok, just let me help Lucas up." I say as I help my friend up.

I put his arm over my shoulder and say, "Thanks for standing up for me."

Even though the Tiny Reviver Seed did next to nothing, he cracks a smile. "T-that's what a b-best friend would do, right?"

I stop. I...never did think of him as one. But yeah. I smile and say, "Yeah, that is what a best friend would do. You are my best friend."

I feel the wind of his tail as I walk.

"Here." Bolt says, kneeling. "Put him on my back."

I nod and try my best to get him on. After a while, he manages to pull himself onto the Luxray.

"T-thanks Bolt. Thanks for everything." Lucas says.

Bolt smiles. "That's what I do, now answers." He says as he turns to me.


"I KNEW YOU WEREN'T TAKING A SWIM! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" Bolt says with gleam as he eats his dinner.

After we ran into Zygarde, Bolt made me spill the beans. I was forced to tell him, Melody, and when we got the Guild, all the Guildmembers that I couldn't remember anything. Of course first, we ran back into Karah to drop off the kids, who had quite the story to tell her about our adventure. We then said our goodbyes and warped back to the Guild using our badges.

That could teleport...wait a second.

We could have used that instead of warping Zygarde.

After we all slap our faces because we didn't use them sooner, we walked inside and had dinner (yes, it's been a long day) with all of the teams. I mean, it could have not worked. I might haven't taken the kids with us. Guess we'll never know.

After we finished our meal, Bolt told everyone about our battle, along with the fact that I have amnesia.

"Well, the water wasn't that bad. I like swimming." I say to the Luxray, who is thrilled that he was right all along.

"Doesn't matter. I was right." He says.

"That's so sad. You don't remember your parents or where you come from?" Crush says.

I nod. "Yeah, but at least I have you guys." Oof, that was cheesy, but it is true. After what Bolt did, it's nice to know that he has my back. And here I thought that he was all rough and tough. Nice to know he has a soft spot deep down, otherwise I'd be with Zygarde.

I never did thank him, though.

Wiggletuff smiles. "That's so true! But I do have to ask, why didn't you tell us sooner? Daisy could have helped you out, in fact, she can help you right now!"

Huh? The Gardevoir then teleports in front of me. I take a step back. I know she's a team member but- wait. Why does my head feel weird?!

"What are you doing?!" I scream at her.

"Relax." She says. "I'm only going to go through you mind. Maybe you're memories are somewhere-" I panic at the thought of her checking out my head. She COULD find out things about my memory, but I haven't told anyone about me being a human. Besides, I don't want someone reading my mind. That's very creepy.

"No thank you. I don't like if someone sneeks into my mind. Please don't do that."

Daisy becomes confused. "But don't you-"

"NO THANK YOU!" After a moment of silence, I say, "Sorry, but no."

She looks at me for a second before teleporting back to her seat. "Very well. Your mind is a mess anyways."

I rub my head as Wigglytuff speaks. "It's strange that Zygarde thinks you may be the cause of the Mystery Dungeons, there's no proof of that so it was right of Bolt to say no. But I am scared that he could come back."

"I won't worry about that too much." I hear Sparks says. "As long as he's in a place full of Pokemon, he shouldn't attack. Like Melody said, I doubt he'd want to cause mass destruction."

He then hops on the table. "But that could be the reason why Mystery Dungeons are appearing. It's not because of you, it's because of Zygarde. And I know just the place to go."

"Oh brother." Bolt whispers.

"THE LIBRARY!" The Pichu screams.

Wigglytuff claps her hands. "That's a great idea! Why didn't we think of that before. Tomorrow you can take Red and Lucas with you on your trip."

Sparks turns his head over to his brother. "You want to come?"

Sweat forms at his forehead as he says, "No. I've been to the library enough times with you. You three have fun. I'm out of here."

He then walks away from the table and heads toward his room. I see him leaving. "Thanks for dinner, Eve and Zack. I'll see you tomorrow!" I say and run out of the room to catch up with Bolt. "But wait." I hear Eve say. "I thought you wanted some ice cream?"

My mouth waters as the thought crosses my mind. I forgot about that. "I'll...I'll be back soon."

I then see Bolt at the base of the ladder, ready to climb it, when I say, "Hey Bolt." He turns his head toward me. I take a deep breath in.

"Thank you for saving me and Lucas. I was really scared and thought that you were going to turn me in."

Bolt smiles and says, "How my dad put it, it was that 'We're here to fight for those who can't.' He starts climbing. But then stops. "Can you just promise me somthing?"

I stare for a second. "Sure, what is it?"

"Don't make me, or any of us reget what I just did. There are a lot of Pokemon here that could get hurt if you're hiding something. I keep you safe because I trusted that you were right. But if you are the reason, then I just did a massive sin."

I look down, but say, "I promise I'm not the reason."

"Good." He then starts to climb the ladder.

"Hey." I say. "Don't you want some ice cream?"

"Nope. I'm good." He yells. I frown. Who in the world says no to ice cream?

He then stops and says, "Get ready for tomorrow. The library is Spark's favorite place in the world. You have be warned." He says, chuckling.

...What?
