What did I just do? Lane bobbed up and down in the air, her limbs shaking with excitement. It had looked like her best friend might be about to beat her unconscious—or maybe catch her with a pokéball. “I can?” she asked, cautious. “Can you understand me now?” Elisa took one step closer, shaking her head. “No no, you can’t go back to that. Do what you did before when you said my name. I didn’t just imagine it.” What did I do differently? Lane knew so little, what was she supposed to…-

Quinn stumbled out of his room, through a set of simple automatic doors that hissed and vibrated. He remained on his feet, though each step was slightly uncomfortable. Not just because of the pressure; he felt in danger, as though any second something might strike him from the side and catch him before he could flee. But staying on the ground meant Cedrin could keep pace, following along while clinging to his arm every step. "Why would you run away?" he thought, so subtle that Quinn almost missed…-

Lane could think of few things quite so dangerous as going straight to the surface now that she didn't have her companion, but straight to the surface was where Lane intended to go. Of course, there were a few minutes of wandering, given that she knew the layout of Starfall so poorly. But after several minutes of searching, she was able to locate the entrance, hidden in a grate that had been built by human hands. Flying up that grate was her first challenge, given that from her small perspective it…

For the first time since his transformation, Quinn's sleep was sightless and dreamless. He saw no higher-dimensional metaspace, no population of inhuman monsters and things that were somehow both human and not human at the same time. One moment he was on the little landing craft, and the next—he felt pain on his back, the cramps of his wings pressed for too long in the wrong direction. Quinn jerked upright, pushing away from the floor beneath him and up an inch into the air. He wasn't on the…

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…

Even without making an auditory sound, that speaker had a great way of inspiring confidence. Degenerate mutation. Yet curiosity kept him from trying to flee, along with an ample helping of fear. There in that open doorway, several figures appeared, each one a little larger than himself, with fur in different shades of pink. They were Mew, though not like the tiny one that he was protecting. These were larger, more developed. Their tails were several times the size of his body, with sharp eyes that jumped…

Quinn stared into the mirror, running his comb through his perfect hair for the tenth time. "Brai?" asked a voice from just behind him, interrupting Quinn's careful attention. He glanced back at the Pokémon, which lingered just a few steps behind him in the narrow bathroom. The Pokémon carried something under his arm—a green leather folio, with his full name embossed near the bottom. Pages packed close inside, bound by several matching rubber bands. "You're telling me I'm…

The Annual Gathering of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon Researchers was everything that Lane could’ve imagined and more. Saffron’s convention center was packed to the brim with scientific teams from all over the world. Today there would be lectures and panels and corporate sponsors gathering all that was known about these incredible Pokémon. He reached down, pulling his attendee badge out from the mew hoodie he wore, flashing it at the security guards as he approached. A thick crowd of other…

Hayden was in the wrong part of town. Sunyshore City had its many unspoken rules, and by crossing onto the piers, he had broken most of them. A townie just didn't belong on the pier, and the local children weren't about to yield their territory easily. He hoisted his threadbare coat high on his shoulders, covering his face as best he could. Maybe they would mistake who he was, long enough for him to cross back to the shore side. "They still following us?" Hayden might be only twelve…-
