Lane felt a little better after she got some coffee in her system. Her mom could caution her as often as she wanted about how her body wasn't built to eat human food, and how much happier she would be if she just accepted that plants were all she was meant to eat. But Korina wasn't the one out here saving the world. Let her complain about Lane's diet all she wanted while safely surrounded by luxury. At least she got to watch Shiloh struggle through her breakfast. It wasn't morning, but…-

Shiloh was in the presence of a god. In all her research hunting for the perfect team, with every firm she paid to search for something special for her, she had barely even extracted whispers of this creature. Mew were already so incredibly rare that most believed them extinct. She had treated old stories about its genetically-engineered successor to be just that—stories. I had no idea what I was getting myself into by battling mew. The more she saw of Lane's world, the more Shiloh realized she…

Lane left a trail of destruction through the airship. At first that just meant turning aside anyone who stumbled into them by accident—but eventually the alarms started blaring, and the marines poured across the deck. She couldn't change them all—it might make for a dramatic entry, but it would also leave her weak for whatever defenses Team Plasma left to defend such a valuable airship. Thousands of personnel and just as many tons of steel and computers had to be out here doing something. She…

Shiloh had been in hundreds of Pokémon battles over the course of her career. As she rose through the ranks, that meant seeing more and more powerful attacks, moves that would cause swift and painful death to any human caught in the crossfire. But never in her career had those attacks been aimed at her. An attack like that meant certain death. She heard the crash of thunder, felt the air blasting around her—but no pain. She opened one eye, and found the world stained pink. They were in a shield. Energy…

Shiloh had failed. It didn't matter that she'd made it all the way through the Vainglory, even battling a little there. It didn't matter that she was completely out of her depth and still fought for her friend. For the first time in Shiloh's life, even her best wasn't enough. Briar wasn't on the ship, and he hadn't ever been. No matter how fast they flew or how well she battled, there was no way to rescue him. "Stay close to me, everyone." Lane gestured them all…

Mirage circled around her, the way she sometimes did when Briar gave her complex instructions for a scene. Those dark eyes revealed little about what she might be thinking, and her mind even less. She was a dark-type—resistant or even immune to Shiloh's mental powers. Having her so close did unsettle Shiloh a little. Those teeth were sharp, her claws even sharper, and wherever she stood left a dark stain on the space around her where Shiloh could sense nothing. It was easy to see now why the kittens…

Shiloh didn't take them far. A little ways down the road, until she couldn't feel any other eyes on them. Each house held so much land that there were wide gaps between them, with well-manicured lawns and perfect little gardens. Despite the name of the street, there wasn't a big red flower in sight. Not unless they took a walk down into the valley. They didn't yet, though Aspen kept squirming for it. Sooner or later, she'd slip off on her own. "Hide us, Mirage," Shiloh…

"I sure do," Shiloh said, holding Aspen out on one arm. The Pokémon made it most of the way to the bed, before the butler gestured in their direction, making Shiloh retreat. "Tell the young mistress about yourself, Holly. June, this might be your new governess. If you see anything out of place, please say so. You deserve the best company." The child reached to the side, manipulating the hospital-bed controls. She rose slowly, settling into a sitting position. "Do you know anything…

Getting out of the window proved an interesting task for Shiloh, considerably easier than getting into the building in the first place. She couldn't get herself through the opening with any amount of physical force, at least until her repeated straining made her human illusion puff away. She stumbled onto the grass, then levitated up into the air, taking Briar with her. She flew straight up along the building, until they were above the roof and hopefully out of range of anyone who might be watching…

Shiloh was the last through the portal. After everything she'd just gone through, she was not about to lose her best friend again. One way or another, Briar would be traveling with her, at least until she knew that he was safe. There was some chance—a significant one, probably—that he would not be critically necessary to whatever plan Lane had for Orre. If that was the case, at least she could go to help the world knowing that none of her friends had been sold off to some trainer to be their…
