"Wow, Since the Train Station exploded… I really didn't expect Reborn to be getting any new Trainers." Ame said to a young girl with dark skin and black hair.

"Well… that wasn't something that I expected to find out. But my Pokémon helped across that desert." The girl smiled.

"You're kidding?!" Ame shouted in surprise. "The Pokémon out there are no joke; I just can't believe a girl as young as you got through that without any trouble."

"Well there were more ground types, than I expected. But even with the disadvantage I kept my ground. You know if you use just enough electricity a ground type can become weak to an electrical attack." The girl boasted. More details about this girl was that she was just at the age of 11, short for her age on the height of 130 cm (4 foot 4 inches). She wore a white blouse, brown leggings and black rubber boots. "But even still I'm from a family of elites, wild Pokémon are less of a threat then a regular trainer."

"I've never tested that. But I've heard of it. I'll have your trainer registration done in just a minute." Ame said, finally finishing up the registration process. "Here you go."

"Thanks, you're a real big help." The girl bowed politely towards Ame, and took back her trainer card.

"Um… One thing." Ame asked before the girl left. The girl stopped, and waited for Ame to ask. "Your last name it's Whitehall, correct?"

"Yes, it is." The girl nodded, knowing that that was the question.

"Is there any relation to a Percival Whitehall?" Ame asked in pure curiosity.

The girl nodded with a sigh, "Yes... there was…"

"Huh?" Ame was confused as she still hadn't heard the news of Percival's Disownment.

Thinking that was the case, the girl tried to just get information that she wanted. "Do you happen to know his last location?"

"Location? Oh! According to the records he just beat his fifth gym leader." Ame answered.

"Fifth! Man, he's gotten strong… over halfway done…" The girl sounded just as happy as she was surprised.

"Halfway… Oh, no your mistaken. The Reborn region is quite unique with their Gym Leaders, as there is a gym for each type." Ame corrected the girl.

"One for each type!" this time the girl was surprised to hear this, "So he's beaten five out eighteen… So, he's only 27.8% done?! That's crazy!"

"Yes, but that's just how Reborn is." Ame smiled seeing the girl's reaction. "yes, back to where Percival is… He should be on his way back to the southern portion of Obsidia Ward."

"Oh, right. Thanks!" The girl, then ran off without a second thought. The girl with the last-named Whitehall. This girl is Marie Whitehall, Percival's youngest sister.

Though Percival had practically said his family was intolerable. Marie was different, she was never harsh like Kuro, nor as competitive as Ari. Marie was the only one to show kindness to Percival. Marie was also the only other child who didn't like how the family was. The fight for dominance, or strength she never liked it. She also saw the unfairness that was always thrown at Percival, and deicide to be the one to be kind to him.

Though it was a completely hard time for her to do that. The time she tried be nice to Percival was also the same time Kuro forced Vee to evolve into a Leafeon. So, Percival's trust and care for his family diminished to practically nonexistent. So, it didn't take much for Percival to snap at her unexpectedly… though Percival was still kind person, and once he realized that Marie was trying to help him, he apologized. One finally thing was that Marie was the only person who knew where Percival was going. When Percival left, he did so without explaining to anyone, except for Marie.

"It's been how long again…" Marie recounts as she walked through the destroyed parts of Obsidia Ward… it had been approximately three weeks since Percival had run away, just a few days since he was disowned, and just two days since Marie left herself. Though one question was left standing. Why was she there? Sure, she cared for Percival… but he was in a faraway land, where she couldn't do anything for him. But they were the only two members of the family that were different. She had to know that her brother was safe.

Marie eventually made it to the Southern district of Obsidia Ward. Unsure when or where Percival would arrive, Marie started to ask around. Asking vague questions like. "Hey have you seen an older boy with long white hair and blue eyes?"

She was eventually led to the Obsidia gate that connected to Byxbysion Wasteland. As Cain had left the gate unlocked, Marie attempted to walk through it. Though she was quickly stopped by someone calling out to her. "Heyyy, don't you think you're a bit young to be walking around by yourself?" Marie turned to see a boy with purple hair, purple eyes, makeup, and wearing a purple shirt with a fishnet undershirt. This person was none other than a friend of Percival, and was on the current quest of trying to help the kidnapped kids. His name is Cain.

"…Don't you think it's weirder to be talking to a young girl like that?" However, Marie did not know that. And though Marie was nice to Percival, she was quite sharped tongued to people she didn't know.

"Ugh… Ouch… But really, that place can be dangerous for kids~" Cain tried to ignore Marie's comment. "I know some people who are in trouble… don't really need another kid in trouble, 'kay?"

"…" Marie just rolled her eyes… but if Cain had been here for a while. "Hey, do you know a guy… probably around your age, blue eyes, long white hair, and fancy black clothes? Name is Percival?"

"…" Cain was dumbfounded to hear Percival's name and description come from a girl he'd never met. "Um… What?"

"the way you dress looks weird, but you don't look like an idiot." Marie continued, "but, I'll repeat once more did a guy named Percival come by here?
"Yes… But—" Cain was cut off as Marie entered the gate,

"Then that's good enough for me. Thank you for your time." Marie said walking away.

"Wait! Stop!" Cain said dashing in front of her.

"*sigh*… What is it now?" Marie sighed, wanting to continue on.

"Who are you? and what is your reason for looking for Percy?" Cain said not trusting of this girl.

"'Percy'?... Right that could always work as a nickname…" Marie remembered that. "… You know him… Is he doing well?"

"…That still doesn't answer my question." Cain said, hoping that that the girl won't be causing any trouble. "Who are you, and what are you doing looking for Per—"

"Marie?!" A voice familiar to both parties rang out in surprise. It was none other than the person in question Percival.

"Percival!" Marie shouted as she spotted her brother.

Cain however was just confused, and Lucille spotting this girl for the first time was as well. "Um… Percy, do you know this girl?"

"I do…" Percival sighed. "She is my youngest sister."

"Youngest sister!?" Cain shouted in exclamation.

"Marie, what are you doing here?" Percival ignored the surprise from Cain and Lucille and aske Marie a question.

Marie looked off to the side, and started to explain. "Well… you probably already heard, but Father has—"

"disowned me… Yes, I already know." Percival said, "Did you really just come all the way here to tell me that?"

"No." Marie answered. "I was more worried about you. I mean you ran away to prove yourself… but with being disowned… I was worried you lost your reason for fighting in the Reborn League. So—"

"You wanted to have me keep my resolve. That's very kind of you Marie." Percival smiled, and placed a hand on his sister's head. "I had been wondering about that after I was disowned… But right now, I have a different reason for getting stronger. So, I did kinda ditched my original goal."

"You did?... Well as long as you still are continuing on your path, that's good." Marie nodded.

"Wait! Hold on! Someone explain what's happening?! Please!" This was mixed shout between Cain and Lucille.

"Oh, right. I should introduce myself." Marie perked up, and bowed her head. "I am Marie Whitehall, the second daughter, and the second youngest child of the Whitehall family."

"well, then… Sorry about before, we got off the wrong foot." Cain smiled. "Name's Cain. Nice to meet you."

"Hehe… Didn't think Percival had a cute little sister like you." Lucille smiled. "My name's Lucille Luxen. Percival has been teaching me a lot of things about Pokémon battling."

"…Are you his girlfriend?" Marie randomly asked.

Causing Lucille to blush. "N-no! what the heck are you talking about?!"

"Well… either way. I thank you for looking after my brother, he can sometimes find himself in very dangerous situations fairly quickly. So, I apologize for any issues he has caused." Marie bowed her head again.

"Hey! I haven't made any issues for them." Percival shouted "…Maybe just one…"

"Percival, what did you do?" Marie asked for what trouble Percival caused.

"I didn't do it purposefully, and if anything, it's Father's fault for disowning me!" Percival shouted.

"What the heck does that even mean?!" Marie was confused by what Percival meant.

Cain though was the first to answer before Percival could. "Some stupid Reborn law, about how kids without having legal guardian are able to be kidnapped by orphanages… Speaking of that, did you get the badge?"

"Yes... I did." Percival said, sighing as he remembers his fight.

"Something go poorly?" Cain was confused and worried.

"hm… Let's see, first you mom thought Percy was a girl." Cain nearly did a spit take as Lucille explained. "You've met Fern, right?"

"…Yes. Green hair bad attitude, right?" Cain said keeping himself from laughing at what Lucille said just seconds ago.

"Yup, Percival accidentally called him Kuro, and—" Lucille was cut off from continuing but this time by Marie.

"You did what?!" Marie exclaimed.

"…It was a moment of bad judgement. Fern has a terrible personality like Kuro. And he had pulled a dirty move, which pissed me off." Percival said avoiding eye contact with Marie.

"*Sigh*" Marie could just sigh in response to that. "Is he as strong as Kuro?"

"No, I've pretty much have swept his team with just Vee each time." Percival responded. "Though that last dirty trick was a hidden power fire on Vee, with the combination of not calling out his next Pokémon."

"… Man, that guy must suck then." Marie spit annoyed at Fern, even though she has never met him.

"Uhm… back to the subject at hand…" Cain said keeping with small laughs. "They probably also told you how I ran away, huh?"

"Wait he's a runaway?" Marie questioned as she was the only one who is new.

"Yes, wellllll, I can't deny it. I ran away because I needed to get away from my mom. She was upset by some of my… choices." Cain sighed. "By whom I, you know, have fun with~ But there's nothing wrong with what I do, she's just living in the past. So, I left. But it's 'cause of that I know what it's like to be out on your own."

"Choices?" Marie asked questioningly, too young to understand.

"You don't need to know." Lucille said to her.

"So, that's why you were dead set on helping Heather." Percival sighed. "I'll admit, once I was actually a bit scared once I felt the freedom that I now hold…"

"Um… what's going on?" Marie was still confused. "I have no clue of what's going on… can please explain."

"Well… seems like you'll be caught up in what we're doing… So, I'll explain as we move." Percival said.

"To the Rail net!" Cain yelled as he led everyone to where they needed to go.

Time: 15:00

Location: Rail Net

Over the next few hours, Cain, Lucille, Marie and Percival traveled through the Rail Net using strength to get through the smashed terrain. All the while Lucille and Cain had given Marie the rundown of what has happened since Percival came to Reborn

"So… what you're telling me is that Percival has gotten into a mess with a criminal organization, and trying to rescue people who have been kidnapped, after they escaped from a crazy asylum type thing?" Marie asked with the most disbelief in her voice.

"Yes, we have." Lucille nodded, answering Marie's question.

"What the?! Are you guys crazy!?" Marie shouted. Before she sighed. "Fine I understand… But two things first."

"What… do you disagree with what we're doing…" Lucille said with worry in her voice.

"No… even if I did Percival would still continue… It's not that… It's you. I get that you had two of you Pokémon taken away from you in a previous battle. But you're still only at four Pokémon!" Marie shouted at Lucille. "You don't even a good water type to cover your weaknesses!"

"…My only…" Lucille looked off to the side remembering what happened to her Simipour, Simon.

"Here, I'll trade you this for your Zebstrika." Marie said sticking out a pokeball, toward Lucille. As Lucille hesitated, "You know this makes a good counterpart to Percival's Milotic…"

Percival looked behind him, noticing the Pokémon Marie offered. "Take the deal… With that, your power will have dramatically increased. Livia, is a good water type, and only two weaknesses."

"… Fine, just make sure to take good care of Helios, will you?" Lucille said with a sad look in her eye.
"Electric types are my deal, of course I will." Marie gave her a smile as she Traded away a Gyarados for a Zebstrika…

"Oh… right Speaking of Trading. Percival, I want Geissler back." Marie shouted to Percival as he continued to clear the way.

"Are you serious?!" Percival shouted, as he moved another boulder. "You gave them to me so you'd feel that I'd be safe!"

"That was before I decided to come here myself." Marie said. "Besides, I did revive that fossil you wanted…"

"…Damn your negotiation skills…" Percival sighed, and the two tossed pokeballs at each other, Percival trading his Eelektrik back to its original owner, for a Pokémon that he wanted, and Aerodactyl. "Sorry bud, but I'll have to think of a name for you later…"

"Ah! Geissler! You evolved! It's so nice to see you again!" Marie cheered as she held her Eelekrik in her hands. "Ooh… you just need a thunder Stone to reach your final form. Hold on, be right with you."

"…Percy? You sure it's a good idea to bring your little sister along?" Cain questioned… seeing how Marie convinced both Lucille and Percival to trade away a Pokémon.

"…She'll follow regardless of what I say. She's more stubborn than me, that's for sure."

"That's saying something than." Lucille laughed. "You're the most stubborn person I know."

Crack.

"!" it was then they all broke through the other side. as they stood in front of a giant metallic door, and stairs leading to the surface.

Cain was the first to try and move the door, but it was to no avail. "Hum, hum… Right… This way locked up. Of course, it is… Then I guess this is it…" and started to walk up the stairs.

"Well, guess it's time to go." Percival said. "Be prepared for anything."

As they walked up the stairs, they saw an old and crumbing building. It had a messed-up sign that said "Yureyu" Though when they reached the top… Lucille, Percival, and Cain stared as there was boy sitting on top of the sign, looking down at them.

"Of course, you guys are here." Nero said, as he laid his eyes upon the group. He was agitated as he met eyes with Lucille, though… he looked down to see another member joining them. "Pft… Three and a half this time?"

"What you say!" Said Marie as she knew that insult about her height.

"Gr… we don't have time for this." Cain said, seeing how they were being blocked by Nero yet again.

"I'll three of you go. Just like last time." Nero smiled, this time believing he could finish off his target.

"No…" Percival said blocking him from

"Oh, come now, Shiro. If you just let me fight her, then I'll the rest of you through." Nero smiled, as he could tell that Lucille was not a full strength.

"He said no, dirtbag!" Marie shouted.

"wasn't talking to you shrimp." Nero said to Marie.

"Oh, you did not just call me a shrimp! That's it! Percival leave this idiot to me!" Marie shouted tossing out a Jolteon. "Sparky! Thunder Wave on him!

"Woah there… Guess you have a little more bite on you." Nero said jumping left off the sign dodging the Thunder Wave. Then tossing out a Pokémon. "Fine then, Let's get this over with."

"Fine… Marie he's stronger than he looks!" Percival shouted, as he pulled Cain and Lucille inside the building.

"Yeah right… You don't seem that tough." Marie laughed.
"Well, I'll prove you wrong." Nero said with a sinister smile.
