Meloetta came back to life, sitting back up as she rubbed her head. "Was that... just me?" She asked. She looked down, sighing of relief to see her feet back. "Well, whether or not I was actually dead, at least I'm back to life."
Meloetta stretched her arms as she got up on her feet, shaking her head. "Anyway, I gotta stop wasting time. I gotta wonder where to go!" As she turned around to see that she was by the lake where she supposedly died, she kept pondering as Lume the friendly female Lumineon that saved Meloetta earlier popped up in the water.
"Oh my, are you all right, dear?" Lume asked as she noticed how badly Meloetta got hurt.
Meloetta gasped as she got down on her knees. "Wait, you saw what happened to me, Lume?" She stated in awe.
Lume nodded, pointing at the lake nearby towards the east. "Me and the girls saw what happened. It was horrifying. That wretched Mandibuzz came in and swooped down on your dead body." She then proceeded to hug Meloetta with her huge butterfly wings. "It's just good that you're safe and sound."
Meloetta smiled as she wiped a tear from her right eye. "Golly... thanks, Lume. You made me feel so much better."
Lume nodded as she glanced over Meloetta, spotting the Audino with the backpack. "So, I see you met Auder."
Meloetta placed her right hand behind her back, glancing behind to see the backpacker Audino, turning back to Lume. "So, that's her name? Auder?"
Lume nodded as she explained, "Yes. You might want to consider making her your partner... she knows a lot about Yssarg. Even though she's far younger than me..." She briefly giggled as she closed her eyes, "...She's quite knowledgeable. Why don't you go over to her right now?"
Meloetta smiled as she nodded. "You know what? I think I will." She kissed Lume on the forehead as she waved goodbye, heading westward to follow Auder, with Lume heading back into the cool freshwater.
