For the first time since her transformation, Lane's sleep was dreamless and comfortable. She had a little trouble drifting off with Korina gone, but that was all. Nothing woke her too soon, and she might've slept well past the dawn if it wasn't for a nervous, buzzing voice that startled her from nearby. "You two are really cute together and everything, but you really need to wake up." Lane blinked, stirring abruptly to wakefulness. She'd never heard that voice before, with a…-

"It's called Starfall," Lane began. "Korina didn't discover it—her ancestors built it. From what I've seen, they came here from somewhere incredibly far away. Nothing humans could do right now. This place makes our best space-station look like a toy." "I'd never believe that on the surface," Elisa muttered, pawing at her food. One thing they hadn't been given was utensils—evidently that was too human an expectation. She nudged her food, then…

Lane probably shouldn't have been so excited about something so simple as a bath. But with as busy as Korina had kept her the last week or so, there had been very little time for anything quite so relaxed. Granted, the process of taking Elisa along made the trip a little more complicated, since she had to levitate the other cat through the air. Despite more time for practice, Elisa hadn't yet mastered anything as dramatic as levitation. "Are you feeling better?" Lane asked, as they…

They followed Dominic’s scent as best they could through the ruins of Starfall. They passed more than one of the oversized machines that Lane had been afraid of, and she slowed to look between them. She couldn't shake the fear that her friend had fallen into one of the complex mechanical devices and been squashed to paste. But they found no corpses squished into the ruins, or any sign that Dominic had suffered critical injuries. "I've never even been this far," Lane said, after…

Lane and Elisa did not even have the luxury of a slow trip back to the surface to try and make sense of what had just happened. No sooner had the mythical Pokémon vanished from ahead of them than the ground began to shake. More lightning arced from the sphere, reaching closer and closer towards them. Lane lifted up into the air, flying as fast as she could through a set of oversized bulkhead doors and dragging Elisa along behind her. No sooner were they through than the doors slammed shut behind them.…

Lane realized she was being watched not even halfway to the cabin. She saw more than one set of little eyes poking up at her from between the flowers—but she didn't think much of it. She couldn't think of anything beside her burden, or else risk dropping the delicate human she carried. No matter how much she might want to stop, she just couldn't. Elisa was shivering constantly now, which Lane recognized dimly as the first symptoms of hypothermia. Soon her shivering would stop, then they…

If Lane hadn't been so exhausted, she would've wanted to follow Elisa through the ruin, in case some danger lurked that a human might miss. But she didn't have the energy to stay up for such a search. They made it through the door together, and she was already looking for somewhere to lie down. Elisa's pockets would've been fine, if she had any. But without one... This far from civilization, there was no sign the old building had been ransacked, as she might've otherwise…

Korina flew with Lane through the dense jungle foliage, just fast enough that he didn’t try to separate from her. He might be able to fly—he still wasn’t sure—but he didn’t have enough control to avoid hitting branches and ariados webs and trunks that came in so fast he could barely recognize any of them. She watched his face as they came down, grinning. “Don’t worry kitten, I’ll teach you all of that. But not yet. I want to make you into a mew, not meat paste.” Lane heard something…

Bed was a strange thing for a Pokémon. Lane hadn’t been aware enough to notice on her first night, when her mind was still utterly unable to process what had happened to her body. There was no such mercy on her second night. “This way, kitten,” Korina prompted, forcing her to fly the whole way. If Lane’s tail even dragged beneath her, the big mew shoved her up against the ceiling, so fast she was dazed momentarily by the impact. “Our nest is here, in case you forgot.” “I didn’t,” she…

Lane stared around the strangely multifaceted space, taking in its many competing sides. There were no walkways between each section, only little flat spaces in front of the largest machines, and a clear “hallway” through the center between them all. As if there had been any doubt in her mind that no human tradition of construction had built this place, now she had the firmest possible evidence. This strange machinery might tower over Lane, but no human could’ve possibly fit between it all. Just…
